    When a licence costs 20$ it's not worth to get it illegal. The only reason to have a pirate version is that you want to have it illegal.

    Did you realize what you just said? You'll Google for a solution. Was that a joke, because honestly that's starting to be scary. Obviously Google has way too much power on the Internet.

    This is starting to sound like that sports drink that is used for everything in the movie Idiocracy.

    What would you recommended? Yahoo, Bing, some obscure search engine, ... or reading the DNS manual?

    I see you have developed a Googlephobia, but the rest of us don't have any problem using their service even if it means they index everything.

    If I'll be faced with a new type of censorship I'll know what to look for. Shame he didn't gave us a solution to this problem. Apart from the classic do a SSH / VPN tunnel.

    Then you are a fool. This is exactly what I mean by trusting your ISP. I sympathize with you and your situation (and I understand that it happens), but all your country has to do is implement some system that will change the UDP packets coming from Google DNS to change the answers, thus accomplishing the same censorship. The more people who use Google DNS, the more likely a country or ISP is to do this.

    If and when this happens, I'll Google for a solution. I didn't implement OpenDNS before I was hit by the censure.

    Like they say: trick me once, shame on you, trick me twice, shame on me.

  6. Re:Pointless hype on How Does the New Google DNS Perform? (and Why?) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I use OpenDNS because in my country they dared to censor the Internet twice using DNS.
    Once it was for bwin.com and another time it was a leaked political document (both for 1 week). No, I don't bet, but I do not tolerate this political bulling.

    Google DNS could be useful if they don't implement any censorship, considering how much hate P2P sites gets from corporations we will see if they manage to stay neutral.

  10. Re:Why are people getting so worked up on Where the Global Warming Data Is · · Score: 1

    What you do about GW depends on its cause. If you accept GW and all its dire consequences then a reasonable course of action is to look to ways to mitigate some of those consequences, but one should also be looking at ways to slow, stop or reverse GW too. And then it matters what the cause is.

    (The cynic in me also says that debating the cause also stalls any action without needing to directly debate the truth of the effect).

    And why exactly is GW a bad thing?

    I know what they say, but I think they are full of shit and have no idea about the consequences.

    This.

    Or get a classic WRT54GL router with tomato. So you can connect to your home SSH server (SSH service running on tomato).
    Also keep an eye on your firewall and remove all the exception you don't know what they are for, if you are running Windows. If you are on Linux you are safe of course.

    If you use public Internet caffe, get Firefox portable on USB stick and configure it to use your SSH tunnel. You don't need any Admin privileges to make it work. Also very effective to bypass any firewall that might be setup (China).

    Teamviewer is free for personal use. Easy to install and use. http://www.teamviewer.com/

    Agree, if you copy the exe out of the install dir, you don't even need to install it or have admin privileges. And since it uses teamviewer servers to manage you connection you don't need to setup port forwarding.

    The best tool to help people with no computer knowledge.

    The security is also quite strong you need both ID number and a password to connect and as soon as you close the windows the connection stops.

    Computer implants will control brains by 2019.

    Yeah, that's why I'd never trust anything that could potentially write directly to my brain. Some sort of helmet thing might be uncomfortable, but at least you can rip it off if they (trojans / hackers / foreign agents) start getting frisky with your mind. Presuming that you have enough motor control left to do the ripping. Perhaps a panic button; hooked up to bladder control or something. (only partly joking)

    Controlling machines with thought is brilliant though, and I'm all for it. Presuming that the thing doing the controlling does feedback through skin responses or a HUD on an external display.

    Your brains are already hacked on daily base. The exploit is called advertising. The best part is, you don't even know your needs are implanted.

    Have a nice holiday.
