I don't entirely see why they had to fire him, the damage had already happend, and a firm warning that this'd not be tolerated should be enough.
What if the Academy Award tossed out all those who where to preview movies, but showed them/lended them to family etc.?
All ATM's will now dispense Kash the new qt improved version of cash.
You know, the funny thing is, in Norway someone has a credit card service called Kash. Not my favourite tough, as they rely on flash videos for advertising and even on their homepage...
until the network administrators find a serious vulnerability and have to burn/press about 35602638023862 new cds to patch it.
Not really a problem. If this suite was tailored for banking, why run any service on it? Why not drop all incoming packets, and only allow firefox to visit one hardcoded IP for example. Or let it use a hardcoded vpn tunnel, and refuse all other traffic than VPN on the public interface?
This could be made very safe, for years to come, even when the software becomes outdated. VPN is a good place to start.
This is the last straw! I'm going back to MSN, where I know that my data and privacy are being protected!!
Bad luck! The only one of the major players not struck by this is yahoo, according to http://clsc.net/research/google-302-page-hijack.ht m:
Search engines vulnerable to this exploit have been reported to include Google and MSN Search, probably others as well.
It seems pretty difficult to protect against, but one technique would be to ignore redirects, i.e only index 200 OK pages, not 302 Redirect and such. This would not be a big problem, but sites on the move could fall out of google for a month while google was crawling. Another thing would be to fake UA-string for the search engine bots, but still abide robots.txt. If google cross-checked 302-pages with a UA-string of i.e firefox, they could test if it was a true 302 or a falsified, for the crawlers.
The article says nothing about why yahoo is immune...:(
But it is also not OK for PearPC to write software to explicitly violate Apples EULA.
Do they break the EULA? You can run Linux for PPC on it I guess. Would it be violating GPL to compile for one arch, and emulate that one? No!
Further, Microsoft Office EULA says you can't run office on anything but windows platform, so ain't Crossover violating the EULA then? By your definition, wine is breaking the EULA.
I see your point. But it is up to the end user if he wants to break the EULA. In the same way, you could say Plextor breaks MS Eula, because they provide means for breaking it (copying).
Look at the Linux phones out there. None of the phone manufacturing companies supplying the OS on those things have released ANY code for those phones.
Maybe the pieces is GPL'd?
Just that they don't distribute them. They have no obligation to releasing them, but if they should go public, they can't stop the spreading.
Read more at GNU's FAQ on GPL.
when compared to say, a CD containing said rescue sw? Sounds to me a lot more like justifying the iPod purchase.
Well, many people have iPod. It can store much data in small space, more than cd's or DVD's. It is bootable (so is a CD/DVD, so not really important). With USB2, it is even possible to run a useable OS from it. It is rewriteable, so you can save stuff and have swap files.
But essentially, you could use any kinda storage device for this, but I actually reckon this would be efficient for ghosting up dead pc's, in a corporate envirorment.
Why can't people realize that special-purpose devices work best with special-purpose OSes?
I guess this makes Linux a bad choice for a special device.
Joke aside, Linux can be customized, and with 2.6 the kernel even included pretty neat rutines for stripping away uneeded code, so I guess someone should be porting Linux to this quite quickly, altough it'll be one of the darn difficult porting tasks as I guess Samsung won't give out one little detail of the hardware in the phone. Prove me wrong on that one, Samsung!
I never tought I was gonna see this at slashdot, it is mainly marketing buzzwords. How many songs depends on bitrate! If they by this means that the FS only can handle 1,000 files (I guess not), then this is bad.
IANAL, but I thought that to be in a antithrust situation, you had to be barring others from market, and also have a significant market share (i.e more than 80%)
In the case of Intel, the consumer has a real choice, in AMD for home pc's, and POWER or AMD for servers. So as long as there is a real choice, there is competition, and IMO, there is very hard competition between Intel and AMD. So I think it's strange that Japan focuses those over Microsoft or other monopoles that is less challenged.
Actually you've just hit upon the reason the dupe problem is so bad on slashdot. Obviously, the editors have each unchecked the boxes of all the other editors.
Richard Stallmann has written a text about a future scenario, where owning debuggers is forbidden.
It's recomended reading, and at least has showed me why we have to fight for our rights!
The Right To Read also carries a informational part, which is non-ficitional, and highly interesting reading.
Both parts is here
Yeah, and timothy seems to be especially biased.
So, folks! Let's removetimothy from our front page. (look under authors, and remove the mark in front of the one you don't like...)
Do we even want a device that can take a picture of children from remote? First, shoudn't we trust our kids enough to leave them in a private situation, when they think they are? Trust is basic in inter-human relationships.
And then you can think what would happend if someone discovered a security hole in this. If it is accessible remotely, anyone could take that pic, without anyone knowing possibly. Think about kiddie porn. Would you like your kids to carry a network-enable camera all day? No? Thought so!
That galaxy they found could not even exist now, or it may actually be 180 degrees relative to where we see it now.
The light only moves so fast, and (if|since) the galaxy moves, the only way to find how fast it moves is to look how much the light is distorted, due to the Doppler effect.
Not until society* changes. Too often children are as much a status symbol as anything. I have seen parents, both professionals (Doctor, Lawyer, etc.) with full-time careers who:
This reminds me of something said by Gandhi:
"I think it would be a good idea!"
In reply to a reporter's question "What do you think of Western Civilization?"
To me, this points out some important thing. We like to think of ourself as the civilised world. Maybe we ain't. The day we let machines do inter-human relations, it's a dangerous day.
Machines is just machines. They can't geniuinely care about someone, they can't feel sorry, and they can't be punished for doing something bad. What would happend the day someone hacked the robot to film our children?
I would just _love_ to be able to purchase Google shirts...
Shirt with a "Search" button printed in front, and a pair of pants with the "I feel lucky" one.
Marketing opportunity here...
It is big business!
And what more, it's fair use often. You're allowed to use a copyrighted work for samples etc. (fair use) up to 30 seconds...plenty for a ringtone!

I found a mention from 2003 about this. Albeit only a extension, it seems like this have long roots.

I have no problem with seeing that, however, a vendor can't be punished under law for something that is legal, whetever ethical right or wrong.

This would give slashdotting a new dimension... Noone would be able to get hold of this mouse once moderators edition was let out.

For more information, google turned up this page.

Heh, you're not the only one. Tough, using google's cache is nice for finding the search phrase, since it outlines it.
Seems like they already caught the opportunity...
Heh, only good comics out there is Scott Adams' Dilbert and the UserFriendly.
Userfriendly is maybe a bit...uhm...to geeky?
