How tf do you mod a completely unbased assertion as insightful?
With common sense. The whole fucking reason they're developing laser headlights is because of marketing. Lasers are cool, lasers are brighter. Cool and brighter sell. Give it a year and you'll have multi-color kits that let dipshits change the color of their headlights while they drive, have it cycle trough a rainbow, have it vary with speed, etc.
Have you ever driven at night in a city? Fucking scrolling LED signs, lights to light up pavement UNDER the car in purple and red, flashing lights and logos on the hubcaps and rims. Morons on the road are engaged in some sort of a pissing contest with after market lighting.
Years ago I was returning to Ottawa from a business trip to the UK I was seated behind one of the Xen project members (from Cambridge or Oxford?) who was on his way to present about Xen at a conference.
I know this because he spent a significant portion of the flight editing his slides in OpenOffice under Linux, that turned into one of my most educational flights ever.
Wow! It would have blown my mind to see that first hand. Who would have imagined that not only does Xen still exist, but someone from Xen was able to voodoo out a slide show from OpenOffice. Open Fucking Office for shit's sake!
Ah yes, "Verified by Visa", because 2-factor authentication is mathematically identical to 1*2-factor authentication
It actually is when every factor is folded down into a simple form submission. It's all "something you know" when you submit a form with an account number, a pin/security code/password, and the output of one of those RSA hash clocks / a hash of a finger print / a mass spectrograph of your farts.
How, exactly, would you propose that this is done by carriers? You say that it would be obvious if someone were attempting a DDoS attack but that may not be true. One of the major issues with DDoS is that it doesn't require tremendous bandwidth on the client sides. There could be millions of those (and with the fact that everyone thinks they need 50Mbps home internet for their web surfing) and there's plenty of bandwidth available that could be limited to appear like legitimate traffic.
It has been my experience that the best attacks against things involve greater quantities of remote hosts and less bandwidth than fewer hosts with more bandwidth.
It is obvious when you see hundreds of connections per minute from each of hundreds of sources to one single target with no meaningful response back. It's even more obvious when your peers call you up and say that the target is being DDoSd and ask you to stop it. It's even more obvious when the attackers are spoofing IPs.
Identifying the zombies is never the issue. It always comes down to ISPs simply not having the balls to do something about it.
He's talking about cutting off the ATTACKERS, not the TARGET. It is extremely simple to cut off the attackers.
1: Identify IP involved in the attack. 2: Switch their account off.
They won't be able to send a single packet. Whoever is actually paying for that connection is responsible for what comes out of it. If they let some shits host shit there, too bad. If it's a grandma whose box got owned, too bad. Fix your shit if you want access. We don't let cars drive the wrong way on the highway because some asshole has a license, we shouldn't let obviously malicious packets through just because some piece of shit is paying for the connection.
Considering that the minute hand moves clockwise, it should be blindingly obvious which way the offset runs. Plus, y'know, the word clockwise.
That just means it gets to the 6 after the 5. It means nothing with regard to the position of the hour hand. You cannot assume the hour hand is lagging in its rotation and will catch up by performing a "tick" in 30 minutes, because it is equally likely that the hour hand is ahead in its rotation and will be correct in 30 minutes by doing nothing. An hour hand that is not being moved by the minute hand is in fact broken, and you cannot assume anything about how it is broken. The minute hand literally drives the hour hand. Often, the second hand drives the minute hand as well.
Beta Sucks Join the boycott Feb 10-17. If Beta is still here on the 18th I will not return. Do not fix what is not broken.
Please stop with this boycott nonsense. It accomplishes nothing except letting you "think" that you are doing something when you are powerless to do anything.
So you want to boycott the boycott? That accomplishes nothing except letting you "think" that you are doing something when you are powerless to do anything. I'd rather boycott your boycott of the boycott.
We've implemented a number of changes since the first October rollout in response to feedback. We'll be implementing more in response to today's feedback. I'm sorry we can't make all those changes instantaneously; our engineering team is small and flooded with work. But that's why the classic site is still available.
I can't promise that the end result will be to your exact preference; a hundred different people will have a hundred different opinions on how the site should look. But I can promise that we'll take all the feedback to heart.
I defy you to delineate the changes you made in response to user feedback. Be specific. Show your work. Otherwise you're just a lying sack of shit.
Neither know shit, they just throw shit at the wall and hope something sticks when someone finally gets around to testing. For Dice, that testing will come when they force me to use the shitty new beta version of the site. Spoiler: I won't stick around.
The fact that we can't tell when Sourceforge is broken is proof enough that it is always broken. Every god damned project has a different series of links to follow and incantations to perform just to get to the fucking files I want to download.
And when you use assloads of [not drinking] water to frack, your [drinking water] has to also be used for the things the [not drinking] water would have otherwise been used for.
Beyond that, fracking makes a lot of [drinking water] unsafe. Plenty of people rely on water sourced from wells and streams and shit. When the frackers set up shop their pipes end up releasing those flammable gases into that water. You shouldn't be drinking from the tap if it looks like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...
And yes, fracking causes earthquakes too. The issue isn't the holes from drilling destabilizing the rock, the issue is the pressure changes they cause after they extract all that gas. If fracking were happening in San Francisco or New York, the "educated" position would be that it's terrible for the environment. But because it's happening in rural areas, the people complaining about it and the problems it causes are branded as "ignorant" and the "educated" position is that it's perfectly safe.
Regardless of what you use, remember to block ads always and block javascript by default. Fuck em. The ad-supported web is a cesspool, and if the internet ad business died tonight we'd all be better off in terms of privacy, security, performance, layout and design, speed, and probably even content
And we'd all get to pay for this content. No thanks. I have some issues with the Internet, but I'm rather okay with it the way it is.
I'd rather pay for content I want than have shit as it is now. But hey, maybe that's just because I'm not a useless teenage sponge and I actually have a job.
if you search on the internet, netflix is pushing it's own CDN with the condition that they don't pay the regular CDN fees. most of the big ISP's haven't signed on which is why netflix is slow on their networks. the pipes to the CDN provider are probably maxed out like the issue with Cogent a few years ago
business scuffle with two companies trying to lower their costs of business. not like netflix is the angel here either.
This is the second time you've posted about this here as if you have some sort of inside information. It's not a rumor, and it's not newsworthy. Netflix announced this shit a year ago when they started touting "Super HD". https://signup.netflix.com/ope...
Netflix gave ISPs 3 options:
A: Peer with us at favorable rates and we'll allow your users to access our higher quality streams and help make sure shit is routing efficiently. B: Drop our content boxes directly on your network and we'll allow your users to access our higher quality streams and pay you fair rates. C: Don't peer with us at lower rates or let us store content on your network, and we'll name and shame you as not fully supporting Netflix.
Once all the major ISPs agreed with A or B, Netflix opened up "Super HD" to (almost) everyone. They now have a lot of those distributed content boxes and favorable agreements, and are effectively a CDN.
Seriously people, just use Bing. Sign up for the Rewards shit and get free Redbox rentals or free gift cards for Amazon.com . You'll get a massively better search experience for porn, and a better search experience for maps (this is more subjective though - I love Bing's aerial view), and almost an identical search experience for everything else. Bing doesn't have all the bells and whistles of Google (I don't think they have auto translate or reverse image search) but for 99.999% of what I search for, Bing gets me there just as fast as Google, and they pay me for the privilege.
Regardless of what you use, remember to block ads always and block javascript by default. Fuck em. The ad-supported web is a cesspool, and if the internet ad business died tonight we'd all be better off in terms of privacy, security, performance, layout and design, speed, and probably even content - no more aggregators, much less spam and far fewer parked domains, fewer shitty youtube "celebrities", etc.

Because the minute hand is merely an offset. Don't be thick.
In which direction? Both are equally likely in my scenario. It's an invalid time display. It's like having a calendar that goes to Smarch.
He did say a stopped clock, not a broken one.
And both of my examples are stopped clocks.
Even a stopped clock is right twice a day, hey.
Not if the clock hour hand is pointed straight up and the minute hand is pointed straight down.
Not if the arms have fallen off.
Etc.
