Except for that fact that Linux is simply more secure than windows by several orders of magnitude. The fact that you can setup a windows based machine without a login and still have full admin rights is proof enough of the serious and deep rooted conceptual problems with it's design. Windows is built, from the ground up, to sell windows. Nothing more.
The quickest way to protect the public from malicious intent would be to get them to all stop using Microsoft products immediately. Everyone's sitting in a sinking lifeboat and you're quietly warning the captain about each leak you find so he can stick some chewing gum on it. What you really should be doing is screaming "Look at all the Fing holes in this boat!! Everyone get in that other, non-sinking boat called Linux over there!!!"
Why would anyone report a vulnerability to Microsoft? Unless they start paying for the info, I say post it online the second you find it and to hell with Microsoft.
Can we get a list of their names, brand their foreheads with "I don't know nothin about no internets!" and then never let them vote on anything relating to technology ever again.
How long until these morons realize the reason it's called "WEED" is because it IS a weed. You can easily grow it in your backyard and a single, well maintained plant can keep even the heaviest smoker in pot all year long. Grow 2 or 3 and its enough for the whole family and you really don't have to do much to take care of it. The only reason the price for pot is even as high as it is now is the fact that its illegal. They aren't going to make squat on taxes on pot, because once it's legal its going to be growing in every backyard, ditch, park and camp ground in the state.
The BBC and NPR have been providing news for decades, for free. Both are far more unbiased than the new york times and if I were to go to a website online to get news, it would be either of their sites before the NYT... and that's before I even considered the paywall. The fact of the matter is, the majority of us never visited the NYT website prior to the paywall, and even fewer will after ward. The few times I made have ended up there was via a news agrigator (like slashdot) and now I simply will never go there at all.
I recently flew to from Chicago to Ethiopia (switched planes in Istanbul.) I had never been outside the united states prior to this trip so I was rather surprised that I got free food, free drinks, no charge for my bags. The flight attendants spoke very little English but in comparison to my experience on US airlines they were practically falling all over themselves to help me. The food was exceptional, as good as any decent restaurant. The attendants were bringing me a drink at least every hour or 2 and if I wanted one sooner I just raised my hand and they handed be the jack and coke I had been ordering for the past 15hrs (long plane ride.) All this, and the tickets weren't that expensive (considering the legth of the trip.) I know the airlines like to blame the price of gas and the failing economy for their troubles, but I just like everyone to consider this: The price of gasoline in Ethiopia the day I landed was $8 a liter. 70 percent of the population of the city I landed in was homeless. The average wage, for the few that did have a job was $100 a month. At the hotel we stayed at, the girl that worked at the front desk, slept at that desk every night we were there. If we needed anything we just tap on the desk to wake her up. If anythings driving up the price of air travel in the US it's the pure incompetence of the airline management, not the economy.
What really gets me is that those 2nd two matrix movies that were so terrible if the 1st really good matrix movie hadn't been made. Is the first one good enough that it makes up for the existence of the other 2?
You just need to resolve the address twice. Seems rather simple.
Change their passwords? Most routers default to having NO password at all. And even if you set one up, and change it, most users have their browser remembering the login.
It's It's like going to one of those beer festivals where all the breweries are giving away free samples of their beer and setting up your booth as the only one that charges money simply because you think yours is so much better. I guess no one will ever find out.
Yes... but its more like 1 telco rents a pair or fiber from another. Theres all sorts of shenanigans that go on as well. The owner of the pair can do things like have 1000ft of coiled copper wire spliced in inside their remote to make data speeds lower or just "accidentally" unplugging one of the competing companies pair or fiber. I can't imagine all the sorts of stuff they could pull if they are actually inside the the same strand as you.
Check out the latest Dragonage torrent with all the down loadable content and expansions included. The only way to prevent piracy is to make and MMO and actually charge for the service of using the servers. Give the game away for FREE (omg) and then actually provide services in return for money. *GASP* There are dozens of indie games out there right now making money this way. It's good for everyone involved, because if the developer gets $15 for every month the consumer plays their game, they are certainly going to try and make sure there are many months of game to play.
I think studios have started to catch on lately that most consumers have given up on the graphics card wars. Sinking $50 million into a game, and having 90% of that be due to the fact that the graphics are cutting edge is a stupid way to make a game. A very small percentage of gamers want their game to be so cutting edge... It's expensive to maintain a computer of that quality, usually the games buggy and constantly being patched, and in truth the graphics quality isn't all that much better than if they had let their tech lag behind a year or more. Unfortunately most studios also go cheap on content once they go cheap on graphics.
Let me think about this... 10lb computer in my lap, $500 wireless video card across the room by the screen... OR... Computer across the room by the screen and 10oz, $30 wireless keyboard in my lap. What am I missing here? Oh wait, I want my neighbors to not only steal my internet connection, I'd also like them to be able to stream everything I do on my desktop live.
A better carrot would be to increase the frame rate movies are recorded at. Ever seen video shot at 100 fps? It's like looking through a window. I'd pay for that. 3D is just a joke.
Nice that you took Toyotas talking points from their webinar. But it appears that all the professor did was short 3 wires together, all of which are in the same wiring harness. The evidence that Toyota has against this is that they claim to have found no damage or corrosion in the wiring harness in the cars they have inspect. Oh really? And we take their word for that? The professor stated quite clearly in front of congress that he was not claiming that this is exactly how the issues happened. What he was proving is that the car could malfunction, accelerate wildly while the driver was holding down the break and the computer would log none of this. I'm not saying these issues are not driver error... maybe they are. But to claim that the computer data is infallible is just silly.
And what about the test they did on live TV in which a technician was able to cause a short, the car to accelorate exactly as described by people, and the computer logged it as if the throttle was wide open and no one was pressing the brakes... exactly as was found here? I can't find a link... anyone remember which broadcaster it was? I know it was one of the big 3.

There are plenty of companies providing HD over IP in the US. It just requires fiber to the home, which they're putting in for most new construction.

I thought we were pretty much done with physical media?

I'm pretty sure most people consider themselves fighting big business, not the British.
I guess they better hope its not raining when war breaks out...

Because windows sucks and we all know it as fact?

You should see the state of commercial routers... it's almost as bad.

As if anyone pays attention to the unsigned driver warning anyway. lol

Oh, so we just have to wait a couple of weeks for some teenager to crack it. Awesome.
