    Unless they are using some sort of transparent proxy which rewrites the request. I was working for a company which does content filtering using this technique. So the limitation you are assuming is not a limitation at all, and of course jumping the ship will be the temporary solution after all ISPs start doing the same. As what others have said, the only viable thing to do is to use https and I heard about efforts for looking at https traffic by faking the certificate. How? By having all traffic being inspe

    Obviously the GP is paraphrasing the policy, but it sounds to me like it's so vague and subjective as to be useless as well. If you need to fire someone because of the policy, you need to be able to show not only that they clearly breached the policy, but that they knew where the boundaries of the policy are. If "excessive bandwidth" or "too much time" are not quantified, you can't safely fire someone (depending on your local employment law of course, you might be allowed to fire someone simply for losing

    It's camouflaged but still has an Apple logo on the back? I agree with some others - this strikes me as more of a marketing stunt than an accidental leak. Letting it run for long enough to verify that it's of legitimate origin, then remotely disabling it isn't inconsistent with this.Though what I don't get is... this new design is ugly. Maybe it is just an easy access case used while the product is still being engineered (eg, trying several antenna configurations inside the case, etc). But if that's the

    What I'd like to see is a PenTesting-style team of white hats. These guys could set up the scams and, when they get a bite, take funds for, say, 24 hours. Then, contact the user and let them know what happened, how they did it, and what the use can do to not get taken in the future.The system would be funded with a small percentage of the funds they take from people, say 1%. Basically, a fine; similar to a speeding ticket.

  15. Re:Chiropractor fixed my long-standing back proble on British Chiropractors Drop Case Against Simon Singh · · Score: -1

    Probably not. Massage therapists work on muscles; I've never heard of one doing a spine adjustment. I, too, firmly believe 99% of chiroprators are full of ****, but the one thing they seem to do well is straighten the back... mostly they treat the symptom of back pain. But if the adjustment permanently removes the pain, I call that a cure, regardless of the quackery behind their methods.I'd never go to a chiropractor, ever. I'd go to an orthopedic specialist that's a doctor of osteopathic medicene, though... but of course, their science IS science. There are many D.O. chief of surgeons and D.O.'s that run hospitals. I'd even go so far to say the D.O. is better than the M.D., as far as the skill of the healer is concerned... just not as popular.

  19. As a liberal, let me confirm that on US Rejects Demands For ACTA Transparency · · Score: -1

    It's very simple, no conspiracy required. The situation is as follows:1. Large IP holders' lobbyists are applying direct financial pressure to the gov't in general and undoubtedly the negotiators personally2. The public reaction is only important if it is large enough to affect an election outcome. This is blunted by the fact that the negotiators are appointed, not elected. In the US, even the election pressure is largely blunted by the nature of the winner-takes-all system. In Europe individual votes matter far more to the politicians. Here in the US, they don't care as long as they get their 50.1%3. The negative reaction from the public will only come about if they find out about it, and most will not waver from mainstream media.4. Mainstream media is largely owned by large IP holders, and will not only avoid stories about the ACTA, but will create a massive campaign to smear any protest that becomes public.That's it. There's no conspiracy. Just self-interest all around.
