2. Grab any random link (such as http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/6718164/BLACK.DAWN.2005.StV.DVDrip.Swesub.XviD.AC3-Mr_KeFF )
3. Try to post it to Facebook.
Noticed this a while ago when trying to link to the movie Steal This Film, a documentary about The Pirate Bay, published through BitTorrent by the producers. I wonder what else is on that blacklist...
I wonder whether it reflects poorly on the U.S Senate or myself when my first interpretation of this title was that he wanted to place explosive mines on the Moon...
...maybe not very serious, nothing a program restart wouldn't fix, but still - damage.
I'm sorry, what?
Most browsers don't run in a particularly well secured sandbox. Sure there are additional security features, but the majority of people today still seem to be running (1) outdated browsers (2) as administrators (3) without any clue whatsoever regarding security.
A security flaw exposed from this fuzzer could easily end up being a major trojan outbreak. Not exactly something you fix by restarting Firefox...

Although I must admit this is a bit of a new approach... Ask the rest of the world for a shell on their boxes and mass upload. The point of having a lot of nodes copy the main one is redundancy, if someone *cough* The US *cough* get into Wikileaks stuff, what's to keep them from just logging onto all these servers and erasing the copies too?
Taking a redundant system and making it dependant on a single node... Not too clever.
Had a similar experience on the bus a few weeks ago, five people sitting in a row talking to themselves. I probably wouldn't even have noticed the crazy one if he hadn't been wearing a cape, a trash bag and flip flops (Swedish winter) - and the lack of a phone upon closer observation.
At my previous job we differentiated different tickets through a coloring scheme. These colors were pretty much unique (luckily there weren't that many tickets), but still helped a lot. It's quite effective just using basic pattern matching against the title of the ticket and the background color.
Every now and then, a monitor would go dead and be replaced - Suddenly all the colors had shifted, ranging from miniscule amounts to red going dark brown. Color might be a good idea when you don't actually need to reference anything by it. Documenting colors would be impossible.
And you won't see tactical nuclear weapons being used in the field likely ever, as that is the invisible line in the sand that would justify the enemy using nukes, perhaps on civilian targets. And there is no justification for using them against an enemy without nuclear capability.
Remind me again how WWII ended for Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
I do believe I'm still innocent until proven guilty?
To share this kind of information as soon as someone accuses me of doing something wrong is really bad. Especially considering all the frivolous DMCA-crap flying all over the place.
Actually, I hope they do implement this dumbass idea, and do it in such a moronic fashion that ISPs suddenly stand to gain a lot from encrypting traffic. Maybe it's the push needed to make encrypted connections standard.
Of course the Goverment would realize this and I get the impression they don't really approve of when people talk without them listening in...
Right now, according to PP's own website we are currently the 5th largest party. Also, according to Sifo the sum of "Other" parties have around 1% of votes, with PP somewhere in that 1%.
Unfortunately, I'm somewhat doubting our ability to make it in the elections (about 4 months remaining). All the fuss around TPB really got us a lot of media attention, but it seems people lost interest a while ago. For a while I got approached by random people on the street who wanted to ask about TPB and PP and wanted to discuss copyright, and these days I rarely hear or read anything about it in the mainstream media.
I'd say we draw the line between expressing an opinion and expressing facts.
I should be allowed to say whatever I want, as long as it's clearly my opinion: "I think...", "It is my opinion that..."
I should not be allowed to say whatever I want if I'm presenting it as fact.
"I think John Doe is a pedophile and a terrorist" - You go ahead and think that.
"John Doe is a pedophile and a terrorist" - You can't go around making false statements like that
Even so, firing at the van stopping to assist the wounded is something I simply cannot wrap my head around.
Say for sake of argument that the crowd of people really were bad guys.
Someone comes driving along, and finds a large amount of dead bodies, with a wounded man writhing at the side of the road. The driver pulls over, and runs out to help the person - and this grants the coalition forces the right to engage? Someone finds a wounded person and tries to help, and for this they deserve to die? Even if that was a Really Evil Terrorist I can't grasp how the ROE would permit engaging someone to stops to help a wounded person.
Anyone care to venture a guess when the RIAA will buy every single black van and large electromagnet within 100km of Washington for... "marketing" purposes?
First of all, there's no need to insult me. I don't run Windows, thank you very much.
Second, I've yet to come across any malware with polymorphic defense mechanisms. Sure, I've read about it here and there, and I haven't encountered any infected machines in a while, but is this kind of behavior really par for the course already?
I don't know how much experience you have in EVE, but generally, if you're AFK you're dead meat. Suiciding miners even in hisec is quite fashionable these days.
Now, if I had that kind of exploit (along with the Windows source code) to play with, and the skills to individually target a specific Google machine, I'd sure as hell make sure to sneak my exploit into the soon-to-appear Microsoft patch site...
And honestly, so far the chinese have struck me as the competent types.
On a more serious note, you're right of course that they should test it and have it working before pushing it, but bashing Microsoft is trendy and all the cool kids are doing it, so I can't help but complain it's taking over a week to patch.
Tbh, I think it's already reached the point where any entity creating a new fancy website these days has to comply with standards, simply due to the percentage of users who aren't using IE anymore. All that remains is for the archaic IE-only websites to go extinct.

Not to mention the differences between monitors.
At my previous job we differentiated different tickets through a coloring scheme. These colors were pretty much unique (luckily there weren't that many tickets), but still helped a lot. It's quite effective just using basic pattern matching against the title of the ticket and the background color.

Finally, us, the geeks, will be the overlords! Disobey our commands, and we might just ARP-spoof your default gateway into a concrete wall!

Stop replying this to every story about scientists finding something you thought you knew.
Everyone knew the Sun rotates around the earth.

You've misunderstood things: The law doesn't apply to the people writing it.
...your XP.
First of all, there's no need to insult me. I don't run Windows, thank you very much.
Second, I've yet to come across any malware with polymorphic defense mechanisms. Sure, I've read about it here and there, and I haven't encountered any infected machines in a while, but is this kind of behavior really par for the course already?
Malware gets exploited... Are we about to see makers start releasing patches for the malware to fix security holes?
Patching an exploit in your exploit? Is that good or bad?
...and since when has prior art actually mattered when BigCorp is obtaining a patent?
I don't know how much experience you have in EVE, but generally, if you're AFK you're dead meat. Suiciding miners even in hisec is quite fashionable these days.
Do you really think they'd keep it up if it wasn't successful to some extent? :)

Perhaps we should stop bashing MS all the time, after all, where would the anti-virus industry be without them?
QA 9 years too late.
On a more serious note, you're right of course that they should test it and have it working before pushing it, but bashing Microsoft is trendy and all the cool kids are doing it, so I can't help but complain it's taking over a week to patch.
They'll be rewritten to actually work?
