    Sure, there are multiple ways to prevent your users from accessing the site. What about when the rest of the world is loading it against your machines?

    Don't they have that technology already? I use it all the time in Black Ops. Even has an alternative color blind scheme.

    Good point. I often use Google Maps as a substitute for Visa and Master Card cardholder services. Not Discover Card though, I use Mapquest for that.

  7. Re:For further explanation of this concept on Operation Payback and Hactivism 101 · · Score: 1

    It's a really poor article and is obvious to most people reading this site. It mentions nothing of Operation Payback prior to the most recent WikiLeaks nonsense. Which from what I've read, pretty much splintered them into factions and killed the basic idea.

  8. Re:Stupid action on MasterCard Hit By WikiLeaks Payback Attacks · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure of the nature of hosts affected, but if it was just the public websites, does it really affect anything? Has anyone ever been to visa.com or mastercard.com and needed to do something? Hell, I thought those were only for viewing contest rules or something equally ridiculous.

    Not true. I even switched from OpenDNS to Comcast DNS and flushed. Working just fine.

    Access the bank isn't the only way to pay credit card bills online. You can also access the credit card issuer's website.

    A credit card issuer's website? So uh, like a bank?

    Well it is a bad thing. Plenty of people use MasterCard and Visa transactions everyday without carrying a balance. You're an ass.

    You're seriously advising a business to use consumer grade wifi? I don't use wifi, but if i was forced to, it would be on a different VLAN from the company and secured to the hilt and with a RADIUS box, not WPA2.

    And when Joe Farmer runs his backhoe through your Fiber line? Send everyone home for the day?

    That's pretty much my experience with SMB. Especially with multiple locations or a datacenter elsewhere. The local staff just go home because they cannot fathom working without access to the Internet, even if local services are still working.

    Glad to hear it's come along. The scales and piano roll really surprise me. Guess it's no longer just hitting colored pads on a drums (or buttons on the neck) to a beat that doesn't even come close to matching the actual song.
