    Also, at least where I live, most if not all cable companies are ISPs as well so they will figure a way to make it work out for them.

    I am the alpha male you dummy. It's OK if my wife carried, out of our 7 children, say 2 or 3 from other guys because I was too busy procreating 50 or more kids with other women.

    What do you think led to dinosaur extinction? Some alien species had financial problem and were about to go bankrupted. Then, they directed a few asteroids at planet Earth and afterward collected the diamonds; profit and they are since an inter-galactical economic superpower.

    Just get a quartz clock and calibrate it.

    People working on trains and airplanes etc. have to (or at least had to) get their watches calibrated. I remember calibrating my Seiko quartz watches myself back then (1970) to +/- 1 second a month. I could probably have done better.

  19. Re:This is for Applets/JWS, doesn't really matter on 2 Years Later, Java Security Still Broken By Faulty Oracle Patch · · Score: 2

    Just consider that running Applets/JWS is just like running a desktop application. Forget about the security manager and its setting in Applets/JWS. Just assume an "allow all" configuration.

    Then, there is still a use for Applets/JWS when you trust the provider as you would trust him to install a desktop application coming from him. Code signing and signature verification is available in both cases. From that perspective, you can still deploy your desktop application through JWS if you wish without any additional security threats for your users compared to a desktop application.

    Basically, it seems that the security manager is broken, assuming an "allow all" configuration makes running JWS no less secure than running a desktop application.

    DDoS != DoS
    DDoS != security

    Strictly speaking, a DDoS is different than typical security like typical DoS prevention firewall rules because there isn't much you can do about it once the packets reach you. These guys prevent the packets from reaching you while still letting legitimate traffic trough as much as possible during the DDoS attack.

    Maybe these guys are specialized in DDoS and they know little about security and how to protect their network.

    Recording the sound of somebody typing on a keyboard might help cracking the password needed to access the blueprints.
