At least they bought it fairly. So did these so called "Bastards" Its not blackmail they are making legitimate offers for you to purchase their domains.
We have to use our ISP to connect to the internet and our ISP is a constent they are ALWAYS there with everything you do Google is only there when you use their service.
Thats it, I say webservers move to SSL only transactions. All other plaintext transmissions should get encrypted at the endpoints transparently. I agree with you about SSL but the problem is the cost. Webbrowsers actively warn users away from SSL sites unless the owner pays one of their partners to sign a certificate.
I have allways wondered why people don't automatically Re-DOS the DOSer. Is that even possible, just start picking targets that are attacking, and flood them back till their network card pops or something. How do you intend to solve a problem by contributing to it?
I'd conserve my remaining bandwidth for normal operations afterall what good is my server if it's unreachable?
Today Jaqui Smith, some brainless minister in the British government, is suggesting ( yet again ) that all paedophiles should register their e-mail addresses with the police and not be allowed to register on chat rooms with those addresses. She says she is in discussions with ISPs to police this. She is too stupid to realise what she is asking for and too moronic to understand palming her inability to convict people and lock them up should not be palmed off onto commercial entities who have no business whatsover doing her policing for her. That stupid bitch has obviously never heard of hotmail.
The link goes to the NIMP thing. For that matter why can't anything pointing to a known trojan be filtered out??/ Because then the next article would be "Slashdot censors users!"
I am in no way defending the RIAA or the major record companies but, looking at this purely from the perspective of a music enthusiast, I personally have no problem with the way things currently are with music distribution. I have more than enough good music to listen to and to go buy in the future, so please take this post as an observation rather than any gripes I might have with the music industry.
Firstly, I'm pretty happy with the price of CDs. Because I research my music well and, yes, I do use BitTorrent and Usenet to preview any albums I intend to buy that I cannot hear otherwise, I always buy a CD that I know will be good before I buy it. And then I source it online as cheaply as possible, usually below £10. That means I'm never disappointed by any CD and, before anyone accuses me of doing anything wrong, I own over 1200 of them.
That doesn't mean anything the RIAA would still sue you if you use bittorrent to sample albums. Its been seen time and time again that the RIAA don't care who they sue, much less whether they are innocent.

That's what happens when morons get mod point!
I expect this post will also be modded down by a moron mod!
To be honest it woulden't surprise me if that was a primary intention of this network.

Thats gotta be a pretty sucsessful pizza store.

The problem with ads is that they lead ot censorship, who is going to risk upsetting the people who pay a large portion of their running costs?

If encryption becomes widespread. Who's is going to go with a slow ISP?

The problem I have with tor is that you never know who is running the end point.

I think if they can stand up to the determination of the RIAA and MPAA they are pretty safe.
An attach on Sweden's infrastructure (DoS attack) might be seen as an act of war. I would certainly view it as such.

Ecactly these people are just a bunch of morons thinking they are all high and mighty.
They really are no different than everyone else on the net except that they have their computer brought for them by the American taxpayer.
If my server gets DDoSed are they going to help defend it? It is on US soil after all.

It's the student who is makeing the notes.

I'm saying that it wasn't the people at Sony who made the ultimate decision to do the things Sony/BMG did.
ence Sony is just as responsible as BMG
Are you saying Sony can just wash their hands of any wrong doing.
Having a partner in crime doesn't make you innocent.
~Dan
I agree Journalists often get their facts wrong or are very Biased towards one party and intentionally leave facts out.
There is a difference between a lie and leaving out details.
~Dan
Sony are still accountable for the actions of Sony BMG they own %50.
Logic?!
Where?
I have no doubt that your rootkit software is properly licensed.

But humans are still assholes
Not to mention blatent wire tapping
The main problem is that spam often uses a fake from address and sometimes this address is real so the "prove yourself" goes to an innocent person.
