The official Go site characterizes the language as simple, fast, safe, concurrent, and fun. A video illustrates just how fast compilation is: the entire language, 120K lines, compiles in under 10 sec. on a laptop. Ars Technica's writeup lays the stress on how C-like Go is in its roots, though it has plenty of modern ideas mixed in: "For example, there is a shorthand syntax for variable assignment that supports simple type inference. It also has anonymous function syntax that lets you use real closures. There are some Python-like features too, including array slices and a map type with constructor syntax that looks like Python's dictionary concept. ... One of the distinguishing characteristics of Go is its unusual type system. It eschews some typical object-oriented programming concepts such as inheritance. You can define struct types and then create methods for operating on them. You can also define interfaces, much like you can in Java. In Go, however, you don't manually specify which interface a class implements. ... Parallelism is emphasized in Go's design. The language introduces the concept of 'goroutines' which are executed concurrently. ... The language provides a 'channel' mechanism that can be used to safely pass data in and out of goroutines."<p><a href="http://developers.slashdot.org/story/09/11/11/0210212/Go-Googles-New-Open-Source-Programming-Language?from=rss"><img src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rss&amp;op=image&amp;style=h0&amp;sid=09/11/11/0210212"></a></p><p><a href="http://developers.slashdot.org/story/09/11/11/0210212/Go-Googles-New-Open-Source-Programming-Language?from=rss">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/uJgLJyOwD5lOHK75A1pkiDjQB1M/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/uJgLJyOwD5lOHK75A1pkiDjQB1M/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/uJgLJyOwD5lOHK75A1pkiDjQB1M/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/uJgLJyOwD5lOHK75A1pkiDjQB1M/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/fUTptMwCkXY" height="1" width="1"/> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/b1-ka7-HrmnPzSW3VZ6ieKtT-yo/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/b1-ka7-HrmnPzSW3VZ6ieKtT-yo/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/b1-ka7-HrmnPzSW3VZ6ieKtT-yo/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/b1-ka7-HrmnPzSW3VZ6ieKtT-yo/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/slashdot/HtMj/~4/dPu1OzpqMio" height="1" width="1"/> kdawson 2009-11-11T05:21:00+00:00 software blatently-bracist developers 32 32,31,24,19,7,3,2 http://developers.slashdot.org/story/09/11/11/0210212/Go-Googles-New-Open-Source-Programming-Language?from=rsshttp://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/fUTptMwCkXY/Go-Googles-New-Open-Source-Programming-Language http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/slashdot/HtMj/~3/cl5DhczX8H0/9-Million-ATM-Hacking-Ring-Indicted Trailrunner7 writes "US and international prosecutors have indicted a criminal ring that they allege was responsible for an ATM scam last November that stole about $9 million from RBS WorldPay. The criminals cracked payroll debit cards and withdrew money from ATMs in hundreds of cities around the world. A federal grand jury in Atlanta has indicted eight men in connection with the scheme, including five Estonians, one Russian, one Moldovan, and one unidentified man. Prosecutors allege that the men "used sophisticated hacking techniques" to defeat the company's encryption system. The scam involved an elaborate plan in which the attackers first bypassed the encryption on the debit cards, which RBS WorldPay issues to customers for employee payroll purposes. They then raised the limits on the accounts attached to the cards, then provided a network of 'cashers' with 44 counterfeit payroll debit cards, which were used to withdraw more than $9 million from more than 2,100 ATMs in at least 280 cities worldwide, including cities in the United States, Russia, Ukraine, Estonia, Italy, Japan and Canada. The $9 million loss occurred within a span of less than 12 hours; 130 different ATMs in 49 cities were hit within one 30-minute period."<p><a href="http://news.slashdot.org/story/09/11/10/222240/9-Million-ATM-Hacking-Ring-Indicted?from=rss"><img src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rss&amp;op=image&amp;style=h0&amp;sid=09/11/10/222240"></a></p><p><a href="http://news.slashdot.org/story/09/11/10/222240/9-Million-ATM-Hacking-Ring-Indicted?from=rss">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/fMQ1DksUJD8-Vj4P1B4kRmGB290/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/fMQ1DksUJD8-Vj4P1B4kRmGB290/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/fMQ1DksUJD8-Vj4P1B4kRmGB290/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/fMQ1DksUJD8-Vj4P1B4kRmGB290/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/vt1AK8hs3Us" height="1" width="1"/> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/vVrEk_TH2PSCJI4WlZQXsAq6Vkw/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/vVrEk_TH2PSCJI4WlZQXsAq6Vkw/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/vVrEk_TH2PSCJI4WlZQXsAq6Vkw/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/vVrEk_TH2PSCJI4WlZQXsAq6Vkw/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/slashdot/HtMj/~4/cl5DhczX8H0" height="1" width="1"/> kdawson 2009-11-11T03:27:00+00:00 security good-luck-with-those-arrests news 45 45,43,31,24,11,6,2 http://news.slashdot.org/story/09/11/10/222240/9-Million-ATM-Hacking-Ring-Indicted?from=rsshttp://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/vt1AK8hs3Us/9-Million-ATM-Hacking-Ring-Indicted http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/slashdot/HtMj/~3/Bb6--5lWsiY/Best-Tool-For-Remembering-Passwords StonyCreekBare writes "Lately I've been rethinking my personal security practices. Should my laptop be stolen, having Firefox 'fill in' passwords automatically for me when I go to my bank's site seems sub-optimal. Keeping passwords for all the varied sites on the computer in a plain-text file seems unwise as well. Keeping them in my brain is a prescription for disaster, as my brain is increasingly leaky. A paper notepad likewise has its disadvantages. I have looked at a number of password managers, password 'vaults' and so on. The number of tools out there is a bit overwhelming. Magic Password Generator add-in for Firefox seems competent, but it's tied to Firefox, and I have other places and applications where I want passwords. And I might be accessing my sites from other computers that don't have it installed. The ideal tool in my mind should be something that is independent of any application, browser, or computer; something that is easily carried, but which if lost poses no risk of compromise.

The deed was done by researchers from the security firm FireEye, who detailed the action a series of blog posts. PC World's coverage estimates that lately the botnet has accounted for 4% of spam. From the Register: "After carefully analyzing the machinations of the massive botnet, alternately known as Mega-D and Ozdok, the FireEye employees last week launched a coordinated blitz on dozens of its command and control channels. ... Almost immediately, the spam stopped, according to M86 Security blog. ... The body blow is good news to ISPs that are forced to choke on the torrent of spam sent out by the pesky botnet. But because many email servers already deployed blacklists that filtered emails sent from IP addresses known to be used by Ozdok, end users may not notice much of a change. ...

"The world is much closer to running out of oil than official estimates admit, according to a whistleblower at the [IEA] who claims it has been deliberately underplaying a looming shortage for fear of triggering panic buying.

The Guardian has an editorial claiming that the economic establishment is too fearful to come clean on the reality of oil suppplies, and makes an analogy with the (marginalized, demonized) economists who warned of a coming economic collapse in 2007.<p><a href="http://hardware.slashdot.org/story/09/11/10/1845245/Whistleblower-Claims-IEA-Is-Downplaying-Peak-Oil?from=rss"><img src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rss&amp;op=image&amp;style=h0&amp;sid=09/11/10/1845245"></a></p><p><a href="http://hardware.slashdot.org/story/09/11/10/1845245/Whistleblower-Claims-IEA-Is-Downplaying-Peak-Oil?from=rss">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/5W6nqQZARp8e1eS7hwYmh1p5IGk/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/5W6nqQZARp8e1eS7hwYmh1p5IGk/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/5W6nqQZARp8e1eS7hwYmh1p5IGk/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/5W6nqQZARp8e1eS7hwYmh1p5IGk/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/JNcqgnT9Kj4" height="1" width="1"/> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/aPb9EFGT44t4e1sdapzq6s96aiw/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/aPb9EFGT44t4e1sdapzq6s96aiw/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/aPb9EFGT44t4e1sdapzq6s96aiw/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/aPb9EFGT44t4e1sdapzq6s96aiw/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/slashdot/HtMj/~4/6p2EF9wdYac" height="1" width="1"/> kdawson 2009-11-10T20:25:00+00:00 power routine-denial hardware 544 544,541,440,347,90,48,30 http://hardware.slashdot.org/story/09/11/10/1845245/Whistleblower-Claims-IEA-Is-Downplaying-Peak-Oil?from=rsshttp://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/JNcqgnT9Kj4/Whistleblower-Claims-IEA-Is-Downplaying-Peak-Oil http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/slashdot/HtMj/~3/BVEMhiyMvy8/Unknown-7m-Asteroid-Almost-Impacted-Earth xp65 writes "A previously undiscovered asteroid came within 14,000 km of Earth &mdash; just over one Earth diameter, 1/30 the lunar distance &mdash; on Friday, and astronomers noticed it only 15 hours before closest approach. On Nov. 6 at around 16:30 EST, a 7-meter asteroid, now called 2009 VA, came only about 2 Earth radii from impacting our planet. This is the third-closest known non-impacting Earth approach on record for a cataloged asteroid. The asteroid was discovered by the Catalina Sky Survey and was quickly identified by the Minor Planet Center in Cambridge MA as an object that would soon pass very close to the Earth. JPL's Near-Earth Object Program Office also computed an orbit solution for this object, and determined that it was not headed for an impact."

Within the past year judges in Cook County Traffic Court in Chicago determined that speeds captured by lidar were not admissible because the devices had not been proven scientifically reliable in an Illinois court, said Jennifer Hoyle, spokeswoman for the law department, which prosecutes most speeding tickets in the city."

So why is it that we have only covered a handful of these cases in the news? Brad offers sage wisdom; surprisingly, he recommends, 'Don't go public first. Back around late 1999, when I found my first GPL violation from scratch, I wanted to post it to every mailing list I could find and shame that company that failed to respect and cooperate with the software freedom community. I'm glad that I didn't do that, because I've since seen similar actions destroy the lines of communication with violators, and make resolution tougher.'

This does not end the chance of the BBC being allowed to introduce DRM in the future, but it at least delays their opportunity to do so."<p><a href="http://yro.slashdot.org/story/09/11/10/1413254/Regulator-Blocks-BBC-DRM-Plans?from=rss"><img src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rss&amp;op=image&amp;style=h0&amp;sid=09/11/10/1413254"></a></p><p><a href="http://yro.slashdot.org/story/09/11/10/1413254/Regulator-Blocks-BBC-DRM-Plans?from=rss">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/BHVLv5UGVfsQxDX48tlLY6hkgcQ/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/BHVLv5UGVfsQxDX48tlLY6hkgcQ/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/BHVLv5UGVfsQxDX48tlLY6hkgcQ/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/BHVLv5UGVfsQxDX48tlLY6hkgcQ/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/eiOVVE9fefA" height="1" width="1"/> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/XXdvfaq_l8eprVmJTaCstDIpK0M/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/XXdvfaq_l8eprVmJTaCstDIpK0M/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/XXdvfaq_l8eprVmJTaCstDIpK0M/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/XXdvfaq_l8eprVmJTaCstDIpK0M/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/slashdot/HtMj/~4/jlVxlssC-Rs" height="1" width="1"/> timothy 2009-11-10T14:33:00+00:00 government hey-at-least-they-report-it yro 154 154,149,128,117,35,21,10 http://yro.slashdot.org/story/09/11/10/1413254/Regulator-Blocks-BBC-DRM-Plans?from=rsshttp://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/eiOVVE9fefA/Regulator-Blocks-BBC-DRM-Plans Search Slashdot stories query http://slashdot.org/search.pl
