This is similar to the linux and virtual machine suggestions from above. Go here to download it. Once downloaded and installed, run their stupid little application in sandboxie and it will no longer be able to scan you machine. You can even specify which files/folders it has access to and if it has interenet access, etc. I believe that will solve your problem with minimal hassle.
This is the unspoken agreement businesses have with our government.
1. As a business, I will withhold taxes and submit those taxes from my employees before the money ever gets in their hands, therefore, I am the tax collector.
2. For collecting said taxes, you (the government) will provide me with many tax breaks. The larger I am, the less tax liability (in relation to my volume of business) I will provide. 3. If this agreement is broken, I will not do business with you and will enter into the same agreement elsewhere with others.
This unspoken agreement represents how class structure is divided amongst Americans into the following categories: 1. Welfare class, they are the tax eaters, these guys are your tax liabilities, but are not limited to dependence on welfare but also other tax funded programs without making up the difference in their expense (by generating taxable revenue) programs etc. 2. Working class, these are your part-time workers who hold multiple jobs but don't really have any real healthcare or other employer provided support. 3. Middle Class, this is the bulk of where the taxable revenue comes from. These people typically generate more in tax income than they dismiss. 4. Business class, these are your tax collectors for the middle class. For their collection services they have greater options in reducing their tax obligations. 5. Political Class, these are the people who have great political influence and can have even less tax obligations than the business class without the hassle of collection. 6. Oligarchy status, your probably a bank receiving a bail-out at this point.
Bogaboga, I was under the impression that the passwd file generates hashed values not encrypted ones. Hash algorithms are deterministic in nature so it is infeasible to reverse the hash. Any code I post generating a well-salted hash from a respectable algorithm would be out of your capacity to reverse engineer. A program like John the Ripper, or a rainbow attack would be computationaly hard to find a collision.
Here are the rules for hashing: Given M, easy to compute h=H(M)
Given h, hard to compute M such that h=H(M) -- "one-way"
Given M, hard to find M' (different from M) such that H(M)=H(M')
(Not always satisfied) Hard to find M,M' such that H(M)=H(M') -- "collision resistant"
Note that 4 implies 3 (i.e. if we could solve 3 we could solve 4), but not conversely. The strange thing about hash functions is that there are typically billions of collisions, or perhaps infinitely many (if the hash function really does take arbitrary-length input; most have some huge limit). But it is computationally hard to find a single one.
Freedom is a physical right, not some bullshit abstract right created by man. Freedom is given to every known thing in the universe. There is only one true freedom, the freedom to move (or likewise, refusal to move). All other "freedoms" are derived from this one basic freedom, i.e. freedom of speech is actually one's ability to move their mouth and move molecules in air, etc. Mathematically, staying on earth will gradually lead to an erosion of freedom, unless population growth is stopped. Increase in population yields a reduced range of motion per human, in order to avoid someone else's freedom from infringing on your own (within a constrained finite space) there must be a mutual sacrifice of freedom (to stay peaceful). These sacrifices will proportionatly increase with reduced mobility. Freedom is a very simple thing and as humans our only way to obtain freedom is by increasing our range of motion without colliding with someone else's. The only way we can achieve freedom is through expansion into space where each individual has a closed system sustaining their life. Only then, will we reduce our probability of collisions and we can exercise greater freedom. We might be able to pull off a couple more centuries without much erosion of freedom by increasing our degrees of freedom (vertical expansion of horizontal living planes? into the ocean? under the ocean?); however, the bottom line is we need to start colonizing space and reducing collisions (by increasing range of motion).
I don't know if its just a bad description but you are correct. "People" does not describe the control group. It is ambiguous at best, so we have no idea if our habits fall into this study.
Argument #1: Taxing corporations is a bad idea becuase corporations will pass that expense to the customer, cut jobs, and probably avoid the US altogether. We need to make government more efficient and cut spending.
Argument #2: Taxing corporations is good. It will help pay our national debt, reduce offshoring, and will prevent the forming of mega corporations and over compensated executives. Furthermore, it will encourage domestic competition since quantity of businesses will rise when their sizes are indirectly tax capped. Plus, corporate taxes are on retained earnins only, this cannot result in job loss since employee expenses are tax deductible.
Argument #3: We're fucked both ways becuase our government is mismanaged. As long as a mismanaged government is funded, we are enabling their actions. We need to legislate and simlify our tax system.
Argument #4: Corporate taxes will be used as a tool to shape public consumption and hand out government favors to "prospective" businesses.
Personally, I think argument #3 is the most sound. We can't really make any tax decisions becuase our government is such a bloated ineffective clusterfuck that it makes windows vista look like it can run on a thin client. For crying out lout, look at Japan. They are such a small country. They have the second largest GDP, fucking more than China and China owns them in population. Not to mention they have the worlds smallest government size (to people) ratio than any other "free" nation. They seem to have sane tax laws, good job market, good education, oh and they jacked our auto industry. They make us look unamerican.
I operate a tor exit node and must admit that this is scary. I donate my traffic to people in china who have to route around their government's firewall. Some of them, torrent shit, even through port 80. It cannot be helped. I had hope that Sweden would stand up to the media corps, alas, a day may come where I, as a node operator, am sued for routing 'illegal' downloads.
I believe he was sending automated mailing-list type emails although he was asked to stop. This would be different than constructing multiple emails for a single recipient; furthermore, you are more likely to run into allegations of harassment rather than prosecution by AG using CAN-SPAM. Just like with excessive calling, if such actions become harassing, a restraining order can be awarded.
You could also say that the earth is the 'cell' and we are the bacteria that outnumbers the cell. Does not have to be cancer.... Another reason why the cancer analogy is bad is because it suggests uncontrolled growth. This may be true for the future, but it is certainly not true now. We are very limited and constrained to the earth (now) and therefore, benign. Even if we spread throughout the universe, you could say the same thing for certain types of bacteria found throughout our bodies.
UK is falling behind rest of the world in internet speed due to centralized infrastructure requirements imposed by laws regulating privacy and censorship. This creates a bottleneck in the network and introduces overhead. Eventually, the UK will become so slow that traffic cannot reliably route through it anymore. At that point, commerce and trade will boom in free societies while censored states will diminish in influence.
Fear not, I have a solution for the interwebs!
I call it auto web tagging 2.0! It will be implemented via web plugins for all major browsers. When ever your browser hits a gTDL it will automatically crossreference the mid portion of the domain with a list of "approved" tdls/gtdls. If there is an existing entity for the gtdl mid section, it will automatically give the gtdl a default exclusive suffix like (.url) then you can use that henceforth.
So basically, the plugin would do the following:
1. User enters www.slashdot.isgay
2..isgay is not in the users list of approved gtdls, only.com,.net and.org.
3. slashdot.com,.net , and.org gets checked.
4. There is already slashdots for all these tdl's, so the plugin renames the site to www.slashdot.url (so you know its a url created by the plugin).
5. This is all more of a convenience thing so when you type paypal.corn , it will actually be paypal.tag an obvious difference. If this was a browser setting by default (something like consolidate gTDL feature), then taging logic would remain consistent across users with the feature enabled and users would then end up with the same.url domain names for an entered non matched gtdl. By default you can have the.url links auto enable this feature, or something, so sharing the links is easy. Of course a dns type solution is better and perhaps its time to redo dns anyways, but I'm just thinking of quickest possible fix for long gtdls, phising scams, etc.
They implemented drupal on a winders server. By default, drupal comes with htaccess files that protects against this; however, since this is IIS, the htaccess files are no in effect. The windows administrator on the site never set the correct permissions in IIS. So no it has nothing to do with the distribution of the Drupal framework.
I have a high IQ and this "Josh" is not brilliant. He is exploiting misconceptions of intelligence. I myself am not "brilliant" despite my IQ. All my life people had expectations that I would achieve all these grand things and that everything I touched was a "stroke of genius". Teachers and administrators always treated me as though I was "special". Students thought I would pass tests without studying, magically. Far from it. If anything, I learned how little intelligence really matters, especially when everything is instantly accessible.
First of all, brilliance is not obtained through obscurity. Sure some obscurities may be brilliant, but not many are. Think about this mathematically for a second and you will understand how confounding it is. This brings us back to what intelligence actually is. Intelligence represents how fast a person is able to learn. This is DIFFERENT than knowledge, which is information retained through experience.
In the case of computer programming, many of the tasks are repetitive; thus, great intelligence is not as important as having the knowledge, but still important in HOW you approach and analyze your problems. In this case, we see what happens when you have someone with lots of knowledge, but little intelligence. "Josh" indulges in the obscurities of his own knowledge but lacks the intelligence to quickly identify problems associated in a larger construct of connected factors ("the big picture"). He makes a number of assumptions that are based on his obscurity, not intelligence (or "relearn- ability"). Focusing on intelligence would mean focusing on making the learning process more efficient for himself at the benefit of others.
He can create obscurities, but how fast can he find them? How fast can he put the puzzle together to get the big picture? How fast can he learn that his obscurity is creating problems, not solving them. He is just a failed rationality that represents how very little, we as a race, understand our own intelligence. An assumption that correlation is causation is the culprit here since his behaviors are correlated with intelligence, but he fails to obtain. This goes beyond "josh", we (as individuals) should challenge our perception of intelligence.
Three strikes is the biggest bullshit ever. Copyright traffic does and will pass through many machines until it reaches it's destination. Does this mean EVERY machine gets a strike?
Also, from a business standpoint it is COMPLETELY counter productive. The ISP's would essentially be killing off their customer base. What about businesses? Employees share shit all the time, so the ISP's have to cut a $10,000 monthly agreement because of three violations? Such legislation would cause more economic loss than the actual infringement (businesses included).

They also listen to our soldiers have phone sex when they call in from (overseas), which makes them possibly homosexual, but definietly perverted.

XP League just started up, they were formerly HTGN. They are advertising cash payouts, similar to CPL.
Thanks to this article I now have tethering on my G1 ^_^
Looks like I cannot operate my internet connection as a ToR exit node anymore in fear of my connection being terminated.
We need to decentralize the government. That way large corporations cant DoS our congress.
