Why the fcsk would you ever plug a printer into a router.
who even has a router, other than businesses that you could plug a printer into.
btw those SOHO "Routers" are actually a 2 port router with a 5 port switch (4 computer ports on the switch and 1 router port) and the other port of the router is that WAN port.
i'm no print protocol expert, but i'm pretty sure that no printer will be accessible past a router without basically turning that router into a switch.
My laptop broke and the City Advantage Protection Plan people refused to fix it saying I damaged it and lying and crap and even going against their own warranty... So the Message of the Day on my game server detailed my position with them (not a nice one) and it was probably seen thousands of times in the short time I had it up. I hope that it hurt them a lot. I also used up about 1 hr of their customer service people's time (I was bored and had no laptop what else was there to do) every day or maybe twice a day for over a month.
So, what is going to happen when M$ screws up and starts blocking products that are 'genuine'?
It gets worse. Let's take that line of thought a bit further. From TFA:
Titled "Don't let this happen to your customers," the advertisement indicates nongenuine copies of Windows Vista will lose access to key features, have limited access to updates, and thus risk attack from viruses, malware and spyware.
Great. Just what we need: deliberately make some machines more vulnerable to attack. As if those machines are the only ones that will suffer when they get infected.
A malware infection doesn't just impact the infected system's users. Those systems then become nodes in a botnet. They pump out more spam, more viruses, more phishing. They host phishing sites. They could theoretically be used for distributed computing projects... like cracking into paying customers' systems.
What's Microsoft going to say when a large site gets hacked, using someone else's pwned box as a launch platform, and the attacker got into that box because it was pirated, and Microsoft deliberately disabled the update that would have fixed a remote root exploit? how about M$ simply removes updates and to compensate for the lack of updates: limits network activity to 1 kbps limits outgoing connections to 1 per minute actively scans and blocks all email leaving the illegal computer and does other stuff like stop all icmp packets...
Maybe you haven't heard about photosynthesis, a process most plants use that uses carbon dioxide and energy in the form of sunlight to make hydrocarbons?
(the CO2 comes out of the cars burning the oil and out of animals as they metabolize hydrocarbons)
How on earth is this news, I have done this for at least a couple years, and others have one it for years before me.
Cracking windows passwords is soooo easy.
I even have my own web cracker for MD5 hashes that I wrote myself for my first active webpage(its code is downright ugly and in ASP and Java with MSSQL).
I have the Rainbowtables (64 GB binary not decimal) to crack any (99.95% success rate) Windows LM password of any length (due to how windows hashes only sets of 42 bits (7 chars) for each password.
and no you may not have the URL or you would overload my poor little server's bandwidth, but probably not my cracking power.
anyways 2^42 * (42+2^8) = 1310 TB = space to store an array of all 2^42 possible 42 bit passwords and their 8 byte hashes.
and this is not an unfeasible number for a distributed project that offers instant lookup of ANY password.
oh also this number would be much smaller due to collisions where you only need to store one of the plaintexts not both because both passwords would work.
by comparison, if you take sqrt(mass Earth) in grams of carbon, the number of atoms you have is the number of possible md5 hashes assuming no collisions.
The only way I know of generating truly random numbers (not psudorandom) is hot bits which works on the principle of single radioactive atoms decaying after a perfectly random, in every sense of the word, time.

You must be ignoring the fact that to see light it is reflected (well not reflected) off the object in all (really most) directions so in order to see objects in light those objects will have to be emmiting light in all directions including you guess it up.
I found a plane near my house (us airways is visible on the side) but I dont think it is his, because im on the other coast.
also, please don't slashdot the SAR people's site.
So if it only emits heat, will the government make us want RFID tags that happen to respond to certain frequencies so they can immobilize us with radio waves heating up the tags (in some sensitive part of our bodies) as a sort of riot control, and DCMA the frequency so anyone that figures out the frequency or tries to remove the chips (implanted copyrighted chips with a proprietary anti-removal protection) gets sent to jail anyways, but it wil be copyrighted by a private company (the one making the chips for whatever normal use) so the public domain-ness of the governments information doesn't apply?
Sorry but I cant find the link, but my friend showed ma a video last year on a DIY site with a similar thing:
THe person had a projector and camera pointing down on a table, and played Warcraft with it, which is about all it is good for.
You do know you are insulting the Internet itself as the Internet is this machines backbone?
IMHO the Internet has tons of bandwidth if the person wrote code to take advantage of local peer bots.
and when will someone write a bonnet that does P2P file sharing so we can all hide behind the possibility that we were infected with the auto-P2P bot.
50,000,000 machines with an average (made up mumbers) 20 GB dedicated to file sharing (each file mirrored to at least 100 machines for fast uploads) is 10 petabytes (petabytes is not in spell check yet) of redundant storage accessible at (assuming 50% (made up number) nodes online with cheap 100kbps upload speeds) 5mbps for basically any file.
Nope, never did that, but next time i'l ask for a refund if I disagree with whats on there, and if they don't give a refund to me I wont agree with the ticket, and not follow it. (or sue in small claims and deliver the court summons to the place I bought the ticket instead of the national headquarters to save me money and lower their chance of showing up [I always wanted to sue someone for being mean in their agreements])
but it has been many years since I went to a ballgame.
lol, so they charge me because my packets destined for ad.doubleclick.net somehow end up at 127.0.0.1?
I think windows should fix that bug whereby people don't have to view adds from certain companies with their new "You have a choice*" program
*This program gives you less choices but more freedom to choose between them.
um, so you think that FEDEX could delay all mail going to any government office or any private corporation that does business with government offices just because they are a competitor, while another parcel to someone else gets sent right away. Or that mail destined for Idaho gets on the first truck to the main hub in any state because its going to Idaho assuming that Idaho had given FEDEX some nice tax breaks?
so do you still think it applies?
um, in the statistics courses I took, a p less than.05 was needed to show a meaningful correlation, and p less than.01 was needed for a strong correlation.
or how about the one where driving drunk gives a higher probability of surviving in a an accident versus a non-drunk person in the same situation. (yes I know that the drinking may increase your chances of getting in an accident at all which could nullify the benefits of being drunk in that accident, but that goes to how how people can misuse statistics)

I wonder if the first clue the police will get that they have been had is when the "cars" travel 300 mph at 30k feet on their monitoring screen.
when is that last time you have seen a non-spot light used outdoors that points up?
I just have to try that!!! hey, can I borrow $20.00
You must be ignoring the fact that to see light it is reflected (well not reflected) off the object in all (really most) directions so in order to see objects in light those objects will have to be emmiting light in all directions including you guess it up.
never found, sadly.

The touch Screen is only good for Warcraft/Starcraft, Warcraft/Starcraft is a great game. (although not high tec any more)

I have had many meaningful conversations with my best online buddy Elisa. She wont agree to meet in the real world though.

I actually never watch a baseball game because of that message. They are still fun to go to, or so I remember.

I do the same, unless the pre-rebate price is lower, which it usually is not.

Does it use an i-Van to get to work, Apple might get mad since they believe they own the letter i.
