It's easier to insert an X-Copyright-2013 header; if the NSA decides to infringe on any of our literary works, it'll be $150,000 a pop. Not that they can't afford it...
This is rather unpleasant but what does this research mean for people that have been decapitated (quick and clean) - will they also be aware for another 30 seconds? Old reports of victims turning their eyes and looking at people were always brushed off as nonsense "because the brain dies right away" but this research, though not directly to do with decapitation, seems to refute that... even if consciousness lasts for another 10 seconds instead of 30.
Crypto experts speaking at the Black Hat USA 2013 conference yesterday said there's a real -- though perhaps not overwhelming -- possibility that much of the Internet's encryption will soon become completely unraveled. This grand unveiling of secrets, they contended, could arrive within a handful of years. To avoid what they jokingly called a "Cyber Pompei," they strongly encouraged a switch from algorithms based on the Diffie-Hellman and RSA systems to elliptical curve cryptography.
Yeah? Well maybe, just maybe, trade sanctions help stop that silly Soviet SOPA law... or maybe even reverse it by legalising non-for-profit peer-to-peer file-sharing.
That's too obvious, so they opted for a "." behind ".com", ".org", ".ca", etc. and it's also hidden from view. Just try it, type www.google.ca. with the . at the end and it will resolve fine if it's monitored by the NSA.
There is no legitimate reason to post something like this. It's disgusting and unnecessary.
It might be necessary when we get a bunch of what the Dutch call "goat-wool sock" types that will claim that Magnotta is "actually a victim himself" to visualize what we're actually talking about. The down-playing usually starts immediately after the news breaks. But when Magnotta is locked away for life there's indeed no reason to distribute the video.
If on the other hand, like the Greyhound Bus Beheader and Cannibal Vincent Lee will, Magnotta gets to go hang out at the beach, it may be time to send a reminder of what's going on.
Yes, people can redeem themselves. But when things DO go wrong, for some reason no psychiatrist or parole board is ever held to account or considered accessories to the crime.
We log which proXPN IP is assigned when a user connects. These logs are kept for 2 weeks and then deleted. We use these logs for internal server administration and IP provisioning.
Isn't the entire point that the VPN IP you are using CANNOT be traced back to you? Why is this logged? I don't mind logging THAT you are using the service and other billing-related data points, but why the exact IP (instead of e.g. out of which pool)? And why keep these logs for a full 14 days instead of the duration of the connection and in volatile memory to boot? 14 days is long enough to obtain subpoenas, evidence preservation orders, etc.
Will the US force the plane to land? Will the plane experience "technical difficulties" forcing it to make an emergency landing on US soil? The current plane is an Airbus so the US knows everything about its avionics... click, click, click and a warning light comes on.
Who knows, but if I were Snowden, I'd make sure I steered well clear of the US and remained over International waters. Maybe Kim Dotcom can charter a plane for him, he still has a few scores to settle with the US government.
a 7-day turnaround of fixes for actively exploited unpatched vulnerabilities, is rather naive and devoid of commercial reality. As a web services company it is much easier for Google to develop and roll out fixes promptly — but for 95+% of the rest of the world's software development companies making thick-client, server and device-specific software this is unrealistic
Hello there, mr/ms/mrs anonymous COWARD, what are you saying there? It COSTS TOO MUCH to prompty (as in a week) fix ACTIVELY EXPLOITED vulnerabilities? When you get the actual problem handed to you on a silver platter? What company do you work for?
Hopefully this will not give some people the idea to create just-as-nasty malware that "does it stuff" when it finds itself on a computer that is part of a *.mpaa.org or *.riaa.com active directory, or one of its members...
It's an even bigger shame that they won't get arrested for perjury, which is exactly what filing a known false DMCA takedown notice is supposed to result in.
As far as I understand the DMCA, it's only perjury if you claim to be or claim to represent the copyrightholder of a work, while in fact you are not. I can't issue any DMCA takedown requests on a outdoors videoclip with birds chirping claiming copyright infringement on the movie "Star Wars" since I am not (representing the) Star Wars copyright owner. But I could do it based on my own movie, even though it is obvious the videoclip isn't infringing.
This is what is the problem with Kim Dotcom's MEGA; it has -purposefully and intentionally- built in the same flaw: you HAVE TO BE who you claim to be re the work you are "defending", but it doesn't matter one bit what you are taking down.
I have no mod points laying around, but I'd mod parent up. Just because space.com picks up a story doesn't make it newsworthy. What's next? Dig up some story about how you can plots of land on the Moon?
Anybody want to buy an Asteroid? I'm giving a $25,000 discount to the first 10 buyers!
Such systems should only be run on a completely independent tactical network and run only on bulletproof RTOS's.
Plus you need an emergency backup that is independent of the network so you can run everything "locally" and have commands transferred from the bridge the old way.
This should mean that you can start a business that is into bitcoin mining, and have your cost of doing business (Top-of-the line computers, GPU cards, etc.) deductable as a business expense.
"MariaDB"? "Ishmael view" Jeebus, what's going on here? And now http://mariadb.org/ has been slashdotted^H^H^H DDoS'ed to death by the criminal organisation known as Slashdot!
Maybe we'll see some coverage in the TechEye Bible, wonderful proze!
No arrests have been made following the 12-hour drama
What? "Protesters" are in a university facility for 12 hours doing who-knows-what, come out, and just being allowed to leave? Any Italians around here that can explain why they weren't loaded on a number of vans, taken downtown, and locked up?
I wonder if that university has access to JSTOR...
No, they'd run 7 on them. No business in their right minds would be downgrading to XP at this point in time.
I can see computers added/replaced right now to an XP shop to still run XP. The "migration project" will take care of them as well when everyone is ported over to linux/Win7/? (I doubt you'd see Win8).
Bill Gates is Chairman of Microsoft's Board of Directors and Microsoft's largest stockholder
The solution is obvious. Gates needs to retire. I, for one, would say that Steve Ballmer has "Chair-man" written all over him.
Mark Zuckerberg should be hired as the new CEO. One new project will be Microsoft ofFACE - the ultimate social office experience.

I've only seen the first of the 'new' Star Trek movies,
You missed something *SPOILER ALERT* Spock "force powered" leaping from ship to ship like Anakin Skywalking in Coruscant traffic.
For the Nintendo 3DS (released October 2012) is still being sold today in retail locations.

I've read the article but cannot see any reason why eBay and PayPal, entities I'd rather avoid, were chosen to sell the phone.

There is still too much content I want that Netflix does not have available for streaming, making it not worth the price.
So you're not even counting towards that 33.33% of traffic. But a lot of people do and they are *paying* for this content.
Lots of demeritz to Starz, who started this "we're toooooo posh for Netflix" and now the other MAFIAA outfits Warner Bros. and MGM and Universal that will drive people to pirate their content.
If they think that people will subscribe to 10 different "streaming sites" like they do "cable packages", they are insane.
but I go to bard to get drunk and get laid, not to play pinball.
What are you doing on Slashdot? Gotta run, play some pinball.
I have no mod points laying around, but I'd mod parent up. Just because space.com picks up a story doesn't make it newsworthy. What's next? Dig up some story about how you can plots of land on the Moon?

The German one at one point in time polled at 13% of the popular vote.
What happened? Some vested business interests got scared and started "digging up some dirt" on candidates? Insert moles/saboteurs in the party?
