On day two things turned around when contests were allowed to instruct contest organizers to visit a web page or open an email. Within two minutes Miller had prepared his exploit code and instructed organizers to visit a web site. Game over. Miller had seized control of the MacBook Air and landed himself a nice prize, seemingly using a hole in Safari as contestants were only permitted to take advantage of preinstalled software.
The attackers didn't have direct physical access so much as taking advantage of the weakest element of security, the user.
Oh please, I was a sysadmin for a short stint and I only had to kill someone and lime the body once. It's not like I had to chop up his family or something for calling me asking me to 'find the program in the file they lost'.
Hear hear! Perhaps we should revise the Geneva convention. From now on, all snipers must jump up and down waving their arms and yelling "Look at me" before taking their shot.
I just quit WoW like a month or so back. This almost makes me wish I had friends. Now I play the game of life! It sucks. Leveling is a huge grind, I'm sure there's a lot of people twinking out there, and don't get me started on the lewt and gear... One friggen blue short sleeved button up shirt I can buy at any store in the world, and it dropped off some dude I managed to down in a bar fight. He conned orange, so it was risky, and all I got was a damned blue shirt.
And, I wasn't aware there was an abyss Eastern and Western MMOs. I was under the impression that WoW was incredibly popular in the far east as well as in Europe and the US. Do they play an uglier/prettier version in China?
Na, I'm told the graphics in the Chinese version are...golden. *HIDE*
One of the main differences I have noticed between 'eastern' and 'western' MMOs is the control scheme. Many eastern ones feel as if they have the taboo that if you're using more than one hand to do EVERYTHING in the game, you're going to hell. However, western ones sometimes get the opposite problem in that every possible action is somehow mapped to a key on the keyboard... Lineage 2, fun as it is, drives me NUTS at times with all the clicking and few (if any) shortcut keys. Other games, like EQ2, you can have up to 3 action bars key mapped (1, Alt-1, Shift-1, I think) for any of them. While useful, if I change the bar layout for any reason, such as a new ability, I gotta rememorize where everything goes.
I want to try Aion, but I do not get much out of a game with a control scheme similar to Lineage 2's. While it does make smoking easier, the constant mouse movement makes playing more than 30 minutes painful. Does anyone know what type of control scheme Aion is looking at? I really loved the videos and want to love this game.
After you're done rewinding it be sure to get some monster cables and wooden stereo nobs to enjoy the new rich sound from rewinding your DVD!
Side note:
I am currently a Prince in Oklahoma and have over $55 million dollars in my savings account at the Royal Bank of Oklahoma but I need $1000 to help me get it. I am willing to share this bounty with you if...
Yeah, I thought one would save such a 'surprise' until after the first couple of dates. No need to scare em off immediately. Let em get close so the surprise is that much more heightened!
While I do agree the internet has it's fair share of twits, I just keep thinking, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." This guy didn't really stop though, he made a concentrated effort to be a general ass. It's not his job either to school internet twits.
1 - Oh yeah, totally agree with this one.
2 - Gotta tell someone, else you're never going to meet someone to scratch that BDSM itch. They assumed this guy was someone safe to tell.
2 - I've been proven a twit a few times before. Each time it was kind of a 'haha, got me' type deal. If you keep going after people just for the fun of it, don't be surprised when one of the twits fires back.
I guess this guy should be happy they're trying to sue him instead of personally tracking him down and beating the shit out of him. There will be twits, and there will be trolls. Being too much of either leads to trouble, somewhere.
I dunno, there is some degree of 'special' in one's ashes being allowed to be packed away in what limited and valuable cargo space many of our rockets are currently restricted to. It is not so much superstition as it is a perceived privledge of being allowed to stow-away on the rocket.
IF you're asking about scattering of ashes. I have no idea. I just like the idea of being sprinkled everywhere. Just a personal preference. That and the thought of having my descendants having to maintain my jar is just annoying. I'm dead, lemme and my ashes go free.
If you're asking about me hoping to drift into someone's soup... I'm just strange like that... I hope it's not tomato soup, I hate tomato soup.
While this may be the geek in me, I would be honored if my ashes were sent up. Even if the vessel carrying them did not make it all the way up. Least this way my ashes are scattered in the most efficient way possible if/when the rocket goes Kaboom.
...
Sides with any luck some of my ashes will have drifted down and ended up in someone's soup. Eat me!
I remember being in highschool and having a 'World History' text that still spoke of an East and West Germany... Highschool for me was from 95 to 97. I grew up in Germany from 81 to 86. Our maps were old, the texts smelled funny, and in general the teachers were using one master text to make mass xeroxes from because some students were without books.
Don't worry though, the football locker room had a fresh coat of paint every year!
To be fair, I did play on the volleyball team. We had a three balls and two nets. We got to use the gym after basketball and the cheerleaders were done. It was late by then. We brought our own protective gear.
Okay, now I must ask. How is the previous comment by me redundant? Just tell me so I stop doing it. It is like someone has an axe to grind with me or something. Sheesh. Granted the previous comment was a lil immature, but I've seen worse get modded +5 informative.
He died as he lived: not giving a damn about what you think.
If I was going to make this statement with the hopes of hearing his opinion on my thoughts, I probably would have timed it so he was alive when the statement was made. Unless... Your him back from the grave... Zombie!!!
Who was it that wanted this guy to get the death penalty again? Well, he got it and it only cost the lives of his family. Hope you're happy.
While I agree this guy was scum, annoying and probably the largest weasel in existence, I still can't bring myself to believe that he's done anything worthy of terminating life. Maybe I'm just soft on crime.

Interesting sig you got there to go with your situation...
He feels no pain, he can't be reasoned with, and he sees what you did there! Now get off his lawn!

Been playing a game of CS I see....
It's time for Obamaniacs
And we're zany to the max
So just sit back and relax
You'll laugh 'til you collapse
We're obamaniacs!
Someone finish the lyrics? I'm too tired...
You think that's air your breathing...comrade?
With the way this concrete works, hopefully it will not get too hot, and make the world's largest Dutch Oven.
...
Okay, even I'm ashamed of that one.. Hehe, Dutch Oven..

I am not sure if this will help, but I have mentioned it to people in the past as to if it is 'legal' for them to record something.
http://www.callcorder.com/phone-recording-law-america.htm
This varies from state to state. The following is also helpful for noting particular oddities by state:
http://www.citmedialaw.org/legal-guide/state-law-recording

If anyone knows if this covers video recording as well and if it doesn't has a link, please let me know. I like keeping a list of such things.
Well, they taste REALLY delicious.
