It doesn't cost $3000. It happened to a series of domains a company I worked for owned.. a squatter registered a bunch of similar sounding domains and started trying to get us to pay him money. Unluckily for him our CEO was an ex lawyer... ICANN awarded us every domain without question in about 3 weeks and as far as I know it didn't cost us a penny (in fact we started legal action against the squatter at the same time and it cost him a hell of a lot instead).
It's pretty hard to implement right now.. a bunch of shell scripts and editing with vi, and even then I've never got it to work. One key thing is it's incompatible with dynamic DNS so you can only use it on static zones.
The other thing is for it to work it has to be signed by a parent zone.. or in other words, more excuses for verisign to charge $$$ per year for doing almost nothing. This, of course, is why it's being pushed so much.. there's money in it.
Breaking out of a chroot on any modern system is damn near impossible without root access - and if someone gets root access you're hosed anyway.
It's a perfectly good solution for what it's intended for - limiting access to the filesystem. A chroot *is* a jail (in fact the term 'jail' was first coined in references to chroots).
Actually it's pretty efficient - the physical memory usage of the Windows servers under ESX is under 10% of the 'real' memory because almost the entire OS is shared. If they're running similar tasks it takes a lot of activity to cause that to rise significantly.
The problem with Xen is its I/O perfomance sucks donkey balls - all I/O is performed in software by a qemu process, and on the mailing lists they recommend you pin that to a processor to improve performance... but that's a poor hack, and doesn't really work.
VMWare server may not scale but it's ten times better than Xen for this. ESX or ESXi beat it sideways.
Only in certain models - the blogger and twitter plugins were clearly adding users to the 'wave' dynamically without requiring authentication.
Also if one of the machines in your domain gets compromised every single wave that that person is a member of could be trashed in a matter of minutes.. it sounds like it really wouldn't be hard to write a bit of code to do that.
Worse - with Wave *entire conversations* will be converted to chinese link spam, because it lets anyone edit anyone elses posts - it has the same high maintenence problems that wikis have, where you have to go through every day and revert all the spam to keep it active.
If they convert blogger to this (which I expect they will at some point) I'll give it 24 hours before there's no an unmodified posts on it.
..except 100mb ethernet doesn't cut it any more. There's *zero* future proofing on that cable - with internet connectivity fast reaching the 100mb/s barrier (and at least one provider in this country already up to 200mb/s) it's going to be stuck with low bandwidth uses.. which USB already has covered.
That's simply not true on modern plasmas. Sounds like made up BS anyway.
Mine stays on news 24 for sometimes 10 hours at a time, because there's nothing on and it's something to have on in the background. I have *never* seen any kind of effect that you describe. Not once.
LCDs can get burn in too... I had one that had the 4:3 bars burned in it for 3 years.
Paradoxically I've never suffered burn from a plasma - you'd have to leave that classic video game system hooked up on a static screen for about a month to even cause it.. add to that the *way* better picture quality and it's a no brainer.
So that leaves two of these cables to decide between: HDMI 1.3 cable high-bandwidth with 100mbit ethernet (perhaps to gain the popular name HDMI 1.4 cable?)
Clearly you've never talked to someone from marketing.
What you'll get is:
HDMI 1.3 cable (what we have now) HDMI 1.4 cable (same as above, but with 'HDMI 1.4 Compatible' stamped on the package. 50% more expensive) HDMI 1.4 With Ethernet - basically the same as above but only sold at specialist stores costing 3x as much.
I don't see the point of the 'automotive' one at all... who in hell would want to attach a monitor to their car? USB already covers all the non-video uses.
Also HDCP seems fairly flaky.. it doesn't like going through switches like receivers, so the best thing to do is still HDMI from sat.box to TV, Optical from sat.box to receiver. Personally I wouldn't take the risk of passing through intermediate devices again.
Of course since these are all ultimately android phones people will be making custom builds adding the features back and removing the carrier branding...
Are they? I mean.. I can drive my car but I'm not a mechanic.
I imagine the rocket scientists are on the ground doing what they do best - designing rockets. The shuttle pilots will be smart people but there's no need for them to know how to build one from scratch.
Yes an intermediate router can drop an obviously corrupt packet (since the destination could be corrupt it's not safe to route it), or even request its retransmission... so the packets would have to be transmitted correctly with checksums intact and your detection method would work.
Not really. Online gambling is legal just about everywhere except the US. It's also taxed and regulated - no incentive for organised crime to get involved as it's a huge very profitable industry.
You can launder money in Vegas too.. or, much easier, just have an insider in a bank.
What happened was the gambling sites just ignored the US - in fact here in the UK they make so much money they're sponsoring TV programmes and can afford primetime advertising. It's a huge industry ready and waiting to move in.
Of course the US has killed its own online gambling industry stone dead, so it'll all be foreigners making the money, but... isn't that what the politicians wanted? Oh, it wasn't? Um...
That doesn't sound like ADD, it's just the results of stress. My wife was diagnosed with stress and those are the *exact* symptoms.. she'd be in the middle of a conversation and forget how it started. She really hated the effect when raiding... she couldn't hold enough information to be able to remember tactics.
I've seen the proper clinical form of ADD and you wouldn't need an EEG to diagnose it - those with it are, to put it politely, 'socially disfunctional' to the point that if you saw it you'd know something was wrong immediately. There are, alas, rather a large number of doctors who use it as a catch all for 'a bit hyperactive' leading to the widespread impression that it doesn't exist at all.
..and somethimes that 'win' is temporary. My wife is a WoW addict (before that she was an FFXI addict) - she'll sometimes realize she's done nothing but sit in the same chair for 6 years and decide to do something about it.. for about 2 weeks, then straight back into the 'safe' world of the game. It's a cycle that's hard to break - feel bad, play game to make you feel happier, suffer consequences of playing game 24/7, feel bad about it, play game, etc.
It doesn't help that although the medical profession recognise the addiction - she's been officially diagnosed with it - shortage of resources means if you miss a *single* appointment with the psychologist you're at the back of the queue again for treatment. And.. gee.. who are the people most likely to miss appointments? Addicts. So the cycle is never broken.
I did watch a few of the second season after watching the whole of the first.. and I just stopped caring about the characters. Two things became obvious:
(a) They couldn't stop skynet or it would be all over (b) Skynet could never defeat them or it would be all over
So you ended up with episode after episode of stalemate.

A lot (most, probably) of firewalls will drop packets with reserved bits set to nonzero.
It's this problem that means that ECN is still not usable, many years after its introduction... the reserved bits are effectively useless.
In fact if it's a working firewall it must. One of the primary functions of a firewall is to drop unexpected packets.

he did introduce a bill that would have legalized small amounts of marijuana at the federal level
Wait.. so only the feds would be allowed to smoke weed?
That'll help recruitment...

My god they named an airport after him? Will the insanity ever end?
Actually they are, if anyone else gets to see them. And people have faced serious questioning from the police over their baby albums.
