VC will continue to show the hosts as licensed and no errors will appear in vmkernel log file until you try to start up a new vm, reboot a vm, or reboot the host.
Um, isn't today Patch Tuesday? This could be worse than we thought.
"We like to support anything that aims to cut plastic fraud but Verified by Visa is flawed. MasterCard SecureCode works in much the same way and is no better," Goodwill added.
Is it a good thing that you can buy something literally with one click? I find it reassuring that I have to enter my credit card details, then the little code on the back, and finally the long password that is only stored in my head.
I prefer the one click purchase. I find it horribly inconvenient to enter all of my credit card information and password. Besides, I never click any buttons acci
Making Microsoft sexy is certain to be Crispin's biggest challenge yet, as its creative types are surely aware-since they, in line with the rest of their industry, overwhelmingly own and use Macs.
I think you misspelled oppress above. People do not chose to live in China...
I think they do. The amount of Pro-China protesting that occurred after the Tibet unrest earlier this year is proof that nationalism is high in China. They live there because the don't know any better. An ignorant public is an oppressed public.
The fuel filter on my car requires a $70 tool in order to remove it.
If it's a Ford, the tool is supposed to be included with the car. That's nothing, to change the battery in a Chrysler Seabring, you have to remove the front driver's side wheel. That's just bad engineering.
Some computer manufacturers are guilty of that too. I remember in the 90's it was almost impossible to get the cover off of my computer. A friend of mine told me to buy a Dell because they are easier to take apart, and the parts are more standardized. Eventually the whole market went that way.
Most people don't work on their own cars, so why should they care about how difficult it is to repair? People who do work on their own cars, tend to lean towards the ones that are easy to work on. Ever wonder why so many kids modify Honda Civics? They tend to be easy to work on. (that's just my personal observation)
The three year extended warranty is dirt frickin cheap compared to any repair you might need down the line.
That's because Apple has a monopoly on their parts, so they're overpriced to begin with. If you buy a good computer, you shouldn't need all of those repairs, making the extended warranty a rip off.
The moral of the story isn't, "if you buy a Mac, buy the extended warranty," it's don't buy a Mac!
Yes, I am totally aware that I will be modded into oblivion for this. But somebody has to say it, and I have karma to burn.
What's to stop somebody from hijacking the bank website
A paper trail. Taking money out of someone else's bank account will leave a paper trail. If your going to hijack a financial industry website, hijack a stock broker. It's much easier to launder the money. (think supply and demand)
If you normally access your bank's website by way of https, you wouldn't get redirected because the hijacked website's certificate wouldn't be valid.
TFA describes the process to make an SSL certificate that appears authentic.
Domain Validation: How SSL Certificate Authorities use DNS to determine whether you get a certificate
* Look up the domain in WHOIS
o DNS address lookup
* Send an email to the mail address on file
o DNS MX record lookup
* Visit the web page and look for a file
o DNS A record lookup
Guess how secure that is in the face of a DNS attack?
Firefox and IE will, by default, warn you about sending unencrypted passwords.
They warn you about sending any unencrypted information, not just passwords. Most people don't want to see that message every time they use Google, so they turn it off.
Great idea! Can you tell me how I can build my own laptop?
Sure, here are some instructions. I realize building your own computer isn't the best option for everyone, but buying your computer from a reputable retailer in the first place can pay off if you have problems. In other words, don't buy from "large Office Supply Store Chain" and do your homework before you buy any high cost items.
The problem with cars is that they have gotten so complicated, and so proprietary, and require so many specialized tools, that it makes it almost impossible for the owner to diagnose and fix problems. Computers seem to be the exact opposite.
Ironically, what most people find complicated about a modern car is the computer.
# Allowing an athlete (only the Gold medal winner) to create a very lucrative endorsement career.
I don't know about that one. For every Picabo Street there is a curling champion that nobody has ever heard of. Olympic athletes usually only get endorsements when they:
A. Overcome great adversity, like an injury, and still win the gold.
B. When there is tremendous interest in the sport, like basketball, or softball.
C. When the sport requires special equipment, skis, hockey sticks.
Maybe the curling champ will get an endorsement from a broom manufacturer, but I doubt it will be that lucrative.
but the 2006 pairs figure skating competition looked more like the hammer throw. There was nothing else on, so I watched it. It was kinda like watching NASCAR for the crashes. Here are a few clips of some of some really nasty ones.

Just have the display overlay something like, oh... 'Direct Hit! 10,000'
This reminds me of something...
Holy ones and zeros... BATMAN!
And you wondered why your credit card charged 22% interest.
*Cough*Ahem* excuse me.
If Visa is going to behave badly, dump them.
From TFA:
Visa and Mastercard are a cartel. If one screws over the customer, so does the other.

Anecodatal evidence suggests that there is a hive mind forming.
The correct term is groupthink. You need to get on the same page as everybody else.
There is no real advantage to upgrading to Vista or BluRay for most people
Actually, both come with a major disadvantage, DRM. Coincidence, I think not!

so are "optimizations"
Never take your machine to one of those places, no exceptions.
That all depends on where you bought it in the first place. If you built it yourself, you have nothing to worry about.
the number of crew members aboard the ISS was limited by the size of the escape vehicle.
I vaguely remembered that episode from when I was a kid. I got the details from googling "MacGyver Dialysis Machine".
Well... I was half joking. Also, the Wikipedia article about that episode is incomplete. TV.com was my reference.
MacGyver did it in season 5 episode 5 "Second Chance" way back in 1989. He must have taped it and copied MacGyver's design.
Chicago is putting in water purifying concrete.
