Joonja's Realm

Keeping in touch with technology.

Here, I present one of the latest additions to the "hacker community". In this realm, hackers and newbies learn some of the latest tricks, secret, and warnings in the trade. Here is your place, your library of information. Feel free in book marking this site, I update frequently (some areas more than others).

What is a hacker?
A hacker is someone who pursues technology. A hacker has nothing to do with computers.
Ben Franklin was an inventor, an experimenter, and a hacker. Hackers are inventors who thirst for knowledge. They don't want to destroy the world. They want to rule the world. They don't want to cause chaos.
Some hackers are millionaires. Some don't wish to be. Some work for multibillion-dollar firms, some are self-employed, [and] some only work when they need to. The person you sat next to on the bus could be a hacker. The person you glanced at on a plane may be a hacker. The person you work next to can be a hacker.

A hacker has nothing to do with computers.

Don't confuse hackers, crackers, and script kiddies. Hackers are people with an interest in technology, crackers are people who break into things, [and] script kiddies are typically clueless people who download programs without much knowledge and simply execute them to gain popularity.
The media typically mislabels hackers as crackers and crackers as hackers. Please don't make this mistake. It's the media's mistake. Hackers are not criminals.
If you want to be famous, do something. Be a hacker, learn about [technology], write about it, experiment, and publish. If you're going to be a script kiddie or cracker, you might get your 15 minutes of fame, but then you might end up in jail. No matter what, you are not going to get the full respect of your peers and your community.

Code hackers blow the whistle on Windows

Microsoft is investigating reports that the code for the next version of Windows has been leaked onto the internet.
Computer code for an early version of the next consumer release of the Windows system, codenamed Whistler, found its way onto several websites earlier this week, according to Windows enthusiast site ActiveWin.
Whistler is the codename for the first fully-fledged upgrade to Windows 2000. It will be based on the Windows NT kernel, rather than the Windows 9x kernel. The next Windows 9x update, codenamed Millennium, is expected to ship in the third or fourth quarter of this year.
Clive Longbottom, an analyst at Strategy Partners, said Microsoft should treat any leak as an opportunity to develop better code, by letting outside developers look at it.
"Microsoft is working with a lot of developers, so it isn't that surprising that code was leaked. If you get a lot of open source people looking at Microsoft's code, some will dismiss it but other will raise issues," he said.
Whistler is at least one year away from release, so any posting of a pirate version of one of the latest builds on a number of college and internet sites is doubly embarrassing for Microsoft.
ActiveWin and BetaNews report that Build 2211.1 of Whistler was posted Tuesday morning and "spread as per usual, like wildfire".
According to postings on the ActiveWin site, the pirate Whistler build looks almost identical to Windows 2000 Professional.
"A number of people who installed the leaked build stated there were a few HTML enhancements to folders, simplifying things for novice users," said ActiveWin. "For example, the control panel is now by default an HTML interface, offering access to a few basic configuration options."
A Microsoft spokesman confirmed that the software giant is looking into reports of a possible leak.
Other features include a future version of a Microsoft Network (MSN) client and tighter integration between the operating system and the browser.
In January, Microsoft said it had dropped work on Neptune - a consumer version of Windows slated to follow Millennium - and also on Odyssey, an NT kernel-based follow-on to Windows 2000. Instead, the software giant said it planned to merge the Neptune and Odyssey code bases in the form of Whistler.
