This problem identified in the support mailing list has not been solved for Ubuntu users,  this happens at "Initializing Mainframe" with about 20% of the progress bar and then stops progressing. If you check the log file, you find something wrong with the Java Internationalization (i18n) resources file, the error message says "SEVERE: Resource not found in jar file: /i18n/langres_gb.properties". The most likely solution is to install Sun Java suggested by Volodya , because Ubuntu uses GNU Java instead of Sun Java. Click Open Ubuntu Software center, search for Sun Java, then install JRE, probably you need to install add-ons too, click more information, and check all add-ons if you don't know which one to choose. After this, I get Frost up and running, but there are still some problems, I can't add active board list by importing XML file. It show successfully imported but the boards won't appear in the left pane. It seems that Frost is not so popu...

Phishing is the practice of masquerading as a legitimate organization, such as an Internet service provider (ISP), bank, or online auction site, in order to acquire sensitive information including user names, passwords, and credit card numbers. Typically, phishing is carried out by an email or instant message directing you to enter your sensitive information at a fake website that appears nearly identical to a legitimate one.

Within the discipline of computer science and electronic engineering, a great deal of thought has gone into this area in order to meet the requirements of fault-tolerant systems. Within falt-tolerant systems, there are two different types of faults that are of most interest to us: failstop faults and Byzantine faults. In many ways there two faults represent extremes of a spectrum: a failstop fault occurs when a faulty process ceases operation and other processes are notified of the fault - a kind of failure rare in real-world systems, where processes tend to fail and other processes are left to pick up the pieces as best they can. At the other end of the scale is a Byzantine fault, where a fault process may continue to operate but can send arbitrary messages. Byzantine refers to the Byzantine Generals' Problem, an agreement problem in which generals of the Byzantine Empire's army must decide unanimously whether to attack some enemy army. The problem is complicated by the ...

One of the popular methods of denial-of-service (DoS) attacks on a database server in a peer-to-pper network is by creating a 'UDP packet storm' on the server. The effect is an attack on one host causes that host to perform poorly. (When it comes to moving all that information across the Internet there is not only one choice when it comes to transport protocols. There are two. Namely, TCP and UDP. In this article we will look at the User Datagram Protocol, aka UDP.  Don Parker ) An attack between two hosts can cause extreme network congestion in addition to adversely affecting host performance. When a connection is established between two UDP service, each of which produces a very high number of packets. This causes packet flooding leading to a denial of service on the machines where the services are offered. Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack is another form of threat to database security in a peer-to-peer network. These attacks involve breaking into thousands o...

Bulletin Board Systems (BBSs) are worldwide distributed discussion systems. A BBS consists of a set of newsgroups. News groups are typically classified hierarchically by subject and contain collections of messages with a common theme. Users can discover and connect to newsgroups (for example, interest groups), and subscribe to and publish messages on the newsgroups. Usenet is one of the earliest BBSs. Recently, the number of BBSs has grown and they have become a popular means of communication.

I came across a "dulllest blog in the world", this blog is powered by Wordpress, and uses the default template,  the latest entry is dated March 16th, 2006, it looks the author stopped updating since then. but this post has got 274 comments: Some pencils were scattered around on my desk. I picked them up one by one. I placed the pencils in the drawer which I use to store pencils. via the dullest blog in the world . It quite amusing, people's life really just as dull as that. I wonder why the blog owner dosen't moneytise his blog since the traffic must be huge. but if he adds some banner on it, then it will lose the "dullest" feature. Actually this blog is doing a very good job for the author monetizing his other blog and website, the secret lies in the blogroll, about page and rss.

A website can help raise the profile of an organization. There are many Chinese community centre in UK, most of those have a website, email or newsletters for it's members. Behind those glamorous new  tecknologies, there might be hard workings of IT professionals, one of which is  Dragon Page Group , which is the best one I have ever seen.  Dragon Page Group includes three subsidiaries,  Dragon Page Technology, Dragon Page Artists and Dragon Page Media,  The founder is Julius Tsui, an experienced IT business professional.
