    According to the MPAA, yes.

    Sync is not a backup solution. If you lose the file in one location it gets removed in the other.

    Plus they are not conducted anonymously. If people wish to make a point then they need to stand up for their cause not hide in the shadows like little cowards.

    But if a fire cleans out your place then the backups are gone as well.

    Unlike anonymous Batman is not afraid to face his adversaries and stand up for what right. I can't recall any scenes of Batman hiding in his mothers basement, I could be wrong maybe he plays WoW.

    wow, I can't believe anyone would try to make that comparison.

    I think we're done here, but feel free to be a douche in my absence.

    These people are hiding. If they weren't cowards they would stand up for what they believe in.

    a DDoS is a cowards 'protest', it actually take courage to stand up for what you believe in. Especially in the face of fierce opposition.

  9. Re:What point does this serve? on Anonymous Takes Down DOJ, RIAA, MPA and Universal Music · · Score: 1

    They do it because they are untalented, lazy individuals. It's easy to sit on your ass and DDoS someone but to do something that makes a difference requires effort.

  10. Re:wow on Anonymous Takes Down DOJ, RIAA, MPA and Universal Music · · Score: 3, Informative

    and still Anonymous achieves nothing for their effort.

    Fucking cowards. Stand up for yourselves,

    Says the person posting anonymously.

  12. Re:BAN Infoworld on Employee-Owned Devices Muddy Data Privacy Rights · · Score: 0

    It's another article by Glen Gruman what do you expect?

    Gruman is the sort of problem user who doesn't understand the difference between a corporate network and his home setup.

  13. Re:Who profits by muddied waters? on Employee-Owned Devices Muddy Data Privacy Rights · · Score: 2

    Make it secure, and make opening the file require use of a system that cannot enter the username/password automatically for the user.

    So the user will just choose a weak password.

    I'd rather the user have a strong password set by the IT Department and auto log them in than have an easily cracked password. Having the user enter a pin to unlock the password manager, this protects against casual theft and buys some time until the user credentials can be reset. But if a sophisticated (or even the average /.er) adversary is considered a threat then the user shouldn't be given remote access to email.

  14. Re:Go! on Anonymous Hacks US Think Tank Stratfor · · Score: 1

    You count as just another nobody. Anonymous doesn't go after nobodies, it goes after the worst "legal" scum it can find. Governments, banks, now PACs -

    Anonymous came after me with their precious Havij.
    I must be more high and mighty than I thought.

    GMGruman is not a nerd; he is a self proclaimed "Smart User".

    Also known as the problematic users. The type who loses their unlocked iToy in starbucks which is synced to the company exchange server.

  16. Re:Security on Sorry, IT: These 5 Technologies Belong To Users · · Score: 1

    Security is a whole lot easier if the users are competent at it. And if they're not competent, why are they entrusted with secure information?

    Because HR thinks they are good for the job. Very few employers have security competency as a requirement. Usually the responsibility is pushed onto IT.

  17. Re:Sigh on Sorry, IT: These 5 Technologies Belong To Users · · Score: 2

    Because IT actually has work to do. Wasting time on setting up a users personal toy is not a good investment for the company especially when other users find out and also want their device set-up as well.

  18. Re:WHAT?! on Volkswagen Turns Off E-mail After Work-Hours · · Score: 1

    I think allot of people just have a bad attitude to work in general. Especially those who complain about being 'expected to work unpaid overtime' while ignoring the fact that it isn't unpaid if your expected to do it as part of the job. The pay for 'expected' overtime is included in the salary.

    Nuclear power would be great, if we didn't have to depend on humans to run it.

    Yes, a family of possums would be so much better.

  22. Re:So what? on Juror's Tweets Overturn Trial Verdict · · Score: 1

    Well if the juror has internet access then it's likely they also have email, skype, facebook etc..
    This is more about the juror accessing the internet during the trial. Just updating twitter is one thing but the juror could also be googling for information on the defendant, the judge has no way of knowing how the phone was used.

  23. Re:What if it turned out the other way? on Greenpeace Breaks Into French Nuclear Plant · · Score: 1

    Even if we do have more Nuclear accidents, so what?

    It happens. Sure we try to minimise them but it really isn't the big deal people make it out to be. If we had a Chernobyl every year Nuclear would still be the safest form of energy we have ever devised.

    RFC 1591 states.

    Each of the generic TLDs was created for a general category of
          organizations. The country code domains (for example, FR, NL, KR,
          US) are each organized by an administrator for that country. These
          administrators may further delegate the management of portions of the
          naming tree. These administrators are performing a public service on
          behalf of the Internet community. Descriptions of the generic
          domains and the US country domain follow.

          Of these generic domains, five are international in nature, and two
          are restricted to use by entities in the United States.

          World Wide Generic Domains:

          COM - This domain is intended for commercial entities, that is
                      companies. This domain has grown very large and there is
                      concern about the administrative load and system performance if
                      the current growth pattern is continued. Consideration is
                      being taken to subdivide the COM domain and only allow future
                      commercial registrations in the subdomains.
