With the WP7 public stunts like those found on YouTube and the Mango reference dredging up Saturday Night Live memories involving a lovers' quarrel between Chris Kattan and Garth Brooks, WP7 is dead to me. I have no choice but to distance it from my person.
I don't consider phishing an OS exploit. Don't recall any iOS exploits and I doubt there is a reliable exploit for Android that can be carried out minus user intervention.
Google truly has their head up their ass. They are reminding me of Microsoft more and more each day as one bone-headed maneuver after another is executed. [Disclaimer: I'm a Google fan boy.]
Why would people record their health care record in a service like this? I can see keeping a private record for myself but this is sensitive information that people do not want spread around. I can see the benefits of crossing this information privately and allowing health care providers access to this but there is an element of trust that must be established first. For something like this Google should have made a serious long term commitment no matter what. Anyone think political pressure may be at play or possible lawsuit threats? People in the tech industry have made attempts in the past to change health care for the better but all have died.
ot to mention you have thousands upon thousands of years where there was no such thing as copyright, and it in no way prevented people from either creating new works of art, nor from earning a living from them.
Once a book is accepted by a publisher the author is out of the picture. These people really do want perpetual fees and government intervention to uphold that revenue stream. My vote is a 20 year copyright for the publisher after an author releases their rights to a work.
Copyright laws were meant to cover people copying your work and offering it for sale. The intent was never to address someone copying a music CD for personal use. When they step into selling the original copy and keeping the backup for themselves they enter an area of illegality, but good luck prosecuting these people. Digital distribution has definitely caused some problems while bringing great advantages as well. One advantage was lowering distribution costs for content providers/distributors, another was allowing consumers to handle, store, and play the content how they see fit. Personally, I would like to see the financial reports of content providers over the last twenty years and see how their revenues and profits have fared. Are there any real dips in revenue do to pirating?
I have to with "copying is not stealing" on this one. It is copyright infringement, not deprivation of property. The supposed lost income is bad juju and not something you want spreading across the legalsphere.
That better be one hell of an explosive. These ships, hell any significant military hardware, can track multiple targets automatically and fire upon them accurately. I'm sure more than a couple people are dying to let an Aegis system cut loose on a bevy of targets. It would not be pretty.
Sanctions don't kill people, people kill people. Really though, sanctions end up starving people who would have otherwise provided for themselves. Additionally, I don't like the government telling me who I can do business with, especially now that the economy is increasingly dependent on global trade.
This is just a novel button.One that requires a lot more processing power than even a touch screen that are available cheaply. In addition it is not as flexible as a touch screen in that with a touchscreen you can change the interface and location of the "buttons" at will.
If they are storing your password in plain text it is a clear indication that the rest of their system is a swiss cheese nightmare. I would venture to say that it is probably possible to obtain a full user list with passwords from such a site. If anything, evidence of such behavior is an invitation to try.
Get this. A school I know of uses a five digit numeric password for all student accounts enabling them to access their grades, financial information, FAFSA info, class registration, and so on. On top of using a standard password that no one changes (the last four of their SSN!) for these accounts some smart smarty thought about security and set a three attempt lockout on passwords. Long story short, this permits a script kiddie attack to lock out every student from their account in a few minutes. This would result in total havoc and there would be no way to stop/recover without consuming every defensive measure in their arsenal for the network. In reality, I don't think their is any way to prevent it without dropping the system off the Internet. At a good university where you have talented students in computer science this system would have already been owned numerous times and subsequently fixed. But as it stands, it is an obscure system so it is not a high-profile target.
Another thing I should mention, according to the state attorney general's office (just a had an in-person training session): per the sunshine laws our school (any school) would have to cough up the email addresses for every student were anyone were to request a list. Most schools might deny it but he (Deputy Attorney General) suggested just complying with any such request to avoid a lawsuit.

So, they are not allowed to use the Internet.
The land of White Red?

By none other than SharkLaser again. I'm shocked! Foe.

Now every welfare dad and his brother has two computers, three game consoles, two big screens mounted to the wall, and access to DVDShrink.

Yeah, but copying stuff was a bitch back then.
By the way, if the meat really is rotten, then you have done nothing wrong at all.
My lawyer thinks differently.

Does that include those who can't bring themselves to install VS? How is it lightwieght by the way? Last time I installed it took two hours.
Get this man some coffee. Stat!
What missile do you speak of? There are many types of missiles, several of which will only do cosmetic damage to our destroyers.

Patriotism is a tool used by politicians. They are NOT patriotic, they are practical, like Romans.
All the stuff you mentioned played out exactly how it was supposed to. There are no accidents in politics.

I just login everywhere with FaceBook!! Problem solved!

Hashing is not enough.
I'd be happy if people at least hashed.
