Probably because cash is involved. I guess if you cut those computers off the Internet it would cost more. That's probably the reason they wont cut them off.
this is a very odd story. Why would the FBI request to change DNS for millions of PC's when all they have to do is switch the DNS server off. But no, they decided to get a court order allowing them to replace the rogue DNS servers with legitimate stand-ins so that all the infected computers wouldn't get cut off without warning, giving them time to get the word out.
For all the paranoid (me included sometimes), use a free web proxies. Of course with a free one you wont go really fast but since your going to use it for searching on google, their's no need for 10gb bandwith anyways. That should be able to fix the privacy problem once and for all.
I made some search on nginx vs apache 2.4 and no test as been done so when he says " who may be "better" " so I think its right to say this with quotes. After those tests are done then we could probably judge it but not before.
In my case, i would make people register on my site from a per person percpective. I would give the info on my product myself. For example,you give the serial number and you register the person in your database. That way if a certain serial number is on pirate bay you know exactly who to talk too since you got his info. In other words if people are ready to pay a lot for a software, then some manual work should be done on your part as in taking all the personal information from the company that way if something goes bad, you got enough to trace back to him.
I'm not sure about drm methods, "Internet" users will always find a way to get through like safedisc v4 got cracked and it was suppose to be the top software protection. online regular registration was suppose to be good too but its not cause it got cracked too. It also pisses off lots of people off cause it gets really annoying to login each single time you need to use the software.
Seems like when you want to buy the product, you need a person to get all the intel, information and everything from that user who wants to use your product. Hell if I spent a lot of cash on a product like this i wouldn't mind giving some intel so that way if people uses my name they would be in trouble...not me.
Ok, I'm not sure in this but.... is it legal for someone or a company to use an open source system or software and make people pay for it...without release the source code ? I think the answer is no in this. So is it "legal" that Apple uses an open source system (with an S perhaps ?? who knows) without releasing the source code (if someone has mac os source code plz tell me) and make people pay for that ? Might I mention Apple products are overbloated on the price department too.
I sniff my socks (remove corn if possible...with an industrial scrapper)regularly so I have enough antibodies to fight viruses. It worked since i was able to fight off the new string of malaria.:)
With all the security mesures in airport, I wouldn't dare putting all that stuff in a jacket. Who knows what that guard is thinking when he's gonna see that "big" jacket. lol. fuck no.
This also means to be theres a big possibility that small businesses that sell cheaper hardware with "not approved" but still working 100% (aopen, startech.com just to name a few) will probably go out of business. This is because they wont be able to "publish" it so we'll be stuck with the overbloated hardware that most dont even need anyways. Sometimes you just want something super cheap and you don't need to rip your arm off so you can use that hardware.
sorry for the mistake, it was 5...dont know why I had three in my head. Anyway
not meeting spec and ability to save lives are 2 different things. I mean, theres a point where you dont meeting the minimum spec which could be fine. But if those are not met and lives could be lost...sorry there but I wont go forward. I think that's what happened with those engineer and those management monkey's didn't listen.
You should believe him cause those guys tried to save them. The management didn't care. They probably thought of money, power, politics or all of the above lol.
Curious they weren't charged with murder. If I had money, I would do that.
That trick is stupid. You pay extra for a feature on a phone that your supose to use and that trick and most of them says not to use it ? wtf is that crap. Just sell the phone and go with a previous working then.
It's like paying 50% more for a faster car but because of x reason, you can go faster. Why the hell did I buy that faster car then ????
When an engineer says don't go with the launch. Sorry but just stfu and listen to him. FFS, he's not the idiot citizen who doesn't know squat. He's an engineer and 3 of them argued...wow. And the management still didn't listen. It leaves a sour taste in my mouth. On top of that, I'm not an american and I'm very touched by this story, news and especially those lost lives. All of that could of been avoided and they would still learned from their mistake, corrected the problem and go forward with the launch later.
My question is: what happened to the guy who still said let's go with the launch ? Did he get accused of murder ?
So who's gonna patent this technology first so they can sue the fuck out of everyone this time ?
ps: does it show I got no more faith for this suing business thing anymore ?
In some sense both Apple and Samsung win. Small startup companies coming into this area now have to explain how they would take on either of these companies in an IP lawsuit and / or get licenses which will be so expensive their products become uncompetitive. The entire group of major technology patent holders is a cartel working together to steal from consumers by increasing prices and reducing the ability of the market to change faster than they are able to keep up with. With patent lawsuits like this running around they can afford to reduce R&D and just make money together with more limited competition.
Sure, Apple and Microsoft are deeply evil, but Samsung is a at least bit evil too, and Google is building up a huge load of patents whilst failing to give a clear statement and guarantee to protect free software companies, so even they are having evil effects. This is a bit like American Politics. Just because one side is bad, doesn't mean the other side isn't bad too. You don't become fair and balanced by asking a wolf and a hyena whether the sheep wants to be eaten.
I wanted to type that, thank you for saying that before I did. All of what you said is true...so awfully true.
I do love watchmen, dont get me wrong here. it's a good story and all. But for the love of [enter god name here], can we just go forward with a story...not backwards. I hate this. Seriously, I want to know what happens next or just give me something about the story that is not in their passed. It seems to be the thing to do now a days. Do a movie and then go in the past.
I don`t know what they try to do at Linux Games but to make it super easy on them and users alike, they could just associate themselves with Steam (Valve). They are already talking about releasing steam on linux. Steam has tons of games. This is just an idea but steam as grown up so big in the last couple of years and its proven to be a successful gaming platform.
Quote from Mikael hed: "Hed explained that Rovio sees it as "futile" to pursue pirates through the courts, except in cases where it feels the products they are selling are harmful to the Angry Birds brand, or ripping off its fans".
Who's gonna sue Mikeal for copying then ? I'm sure someone will sue him eventually...right ?

btw, you can read this guide to check your dns.

... and IE still sucks ass after all those test, gadgets and hardware. I'll stick with eithe chrome or firefox thank you.

Some actions (like child pornagraphy) should not waste court time...seriously.
Religion as nothing to do with my comment so dont go there...
censoring should not exist on the Internet...except for child pornography. Those people should fucking die on a pole. Vlad Drakul style.

so if I get this right, if its not from windows store, I wont be able to run it ?

Releasing a software with bugs and publicly display those bugs is stupid...and freak'n annoying too. Version 10... really ???
