While big things are happening A college kid has AOL acting
in San Francisco and Las Vagas.
like a jerks with their pants down.
by Joe B. It’s baaac, in Moscone Center in San Franciso and Las Vagas. Innovative soft/hardware, or the short version "New Tech stuff" for the mass consumers. Mechanisms gets smaller, faster, supposedly more efficient chip power squeezed in less space. To bad humans still stagger around, beat their laptop keyboards when someone points out glitches in their software programs case in point. A young, 19 year old, Utah College student who's learned the “DO THE RIGHT THING” lesson / mantra last Thursday calls AOL AOL, (America On Line) warns them of a security kink in their system. He (Mr. Matt Conover, one of the w00w00 founders of the “World’s largest nonprofit security with more than 30 members in about nine countries.”[his/their words.] sent out a report of a flaw in AOL’s AIM (America Online Instant Messenger) Once contacted AOL fixed its problem but instead of thanking the members an AOL spokesmen (Mr. Andrew Weinstein) critizied the group for failing to give AOL more time before announcing their problem publicly. There seems to be a disconnect in that Mr. Conover told AOL about a problem that all their brilliant programmer, software designers, engineers didn’t see or were too busy getting it up and running to notice. I think they (AOL) is ticked off because they didn’t see the bug and instead of saying "Way Cool Dudes" they publicly bash w00w00 for the good deed. w00w00 showed itself as a lawfull Web Secure Co. by warning AOL of an error it may pay for its short sightedness when w00w00 lets a worse glitch go by and hackers have their fun. “A” will bung it up again with that attitude and no one may ring an alarm of another foul-up. The w00w00 folks are our future and it looks bright even if “W0” disbands, splits, reforms or stays together it shows how weak Big old AOL and others like them really are. These young men and woman are college students yet AOL out of hand didn’t take a moment to think it as a possiblity. To me the future is in good hands, just don’t listen to so called experts because they don’t really know, setting arbitrary limits then say that’s it – limits are made to be broken. Tech innovations in San Francisco and Las Vagas works only when new ideas, ways , thinking, seeing is tested and excepted; AOL should think of those facts instead of being pissed of that their fallible mortals it takes lest energy than angry bluster. That’s how we human’s grow, advance, and evolve… Bye. Please donate what can to Joe at 255 9th St. For Joe only my snail CA. 94102 PS.
