Why aren't the text message preferences deleted when the cancellation notices comes thru?
Yahoo essentially knows nothing about the phone number. All it knows is that there is a number (or more abstractly, an email address) through which it should send its junk. They don't know who/what/where otherwise. They know nothing about who currently owns which phone #.
In the article it talks about the ships being in an oxygen-less environment which preserves it. The only thing we need to prevent is people pillaging the lute. Making it a national park would be perfect. As for Pearl Harbor, it'll be an incredibly long time before the Arizona disintigrates into nothing....
Like the automobile or the airplane. The atom bomb and thus Fission. The telephone, the Internet, the computer, the sowing machine, the light bulb, electricity, cotton-gin, Rock, bar-b-que, the laser, the vaccine. Should I continue?
Lots of major things have... none of these have though.
One thing that annoys the hell out of me are people who do not pay for their Cable/Dish TV. Regardless of how incompetent the cable company may be, there are alternatives and there is simply no excuse for stealing cable. This has nothing to do with copy-control.
This movie was simply a re-make of the Wraith of Khan. Data sacrifices the good of the few for the many, but his consciousness isn't completely "lost".
I've been under the impression for the last several years that its not even possible to view such a small angular size from the surface of Earth because of the air density and subsequent distortion. Even with adaptive optics I'll bet that if they photograph the landing site, the lander will be a blurry blob.
Theoretically they could use Hubble to view it. The Hubble can resolve the width of a dime from 50 miles, but if you point it at the surface of the Earth or Moon, it'll burn out the CCD chip.
When I am dialed up to XO Communications, I receive 1-2 pop-ups a day via Windows Messaging Service. The solution is to turn it off, since its fairly useless anyways.
100,000 people is peanuts compared to the 260M person population of this country. I'm willing to bet that of those 100,000 people, 90,000 of them are out of touch college students who protest everything from Gillette to Starbucks.
They're just paying for what they get. I tend to believe that its not so much bad programmers as it is a general apathetic attitude that good programmers have now. If there's no incentive to bust your balls, you're not going to!
Redefining a loss as a one time business expense is what companies like Enron, Lucent et al were doing to cover their debt. We shouldn't change a thing.
Ok, enough with the philosophy. If Taiwan thinks Windows is too insecure for their government then they simply shouldn't buy and use it. If they want a real firewall, they should use REAL firewall hardware and software, which there are tons of solutions in the market. I think Taiwan is trying to kick Microsoft around a bit to get something else they want.
The point is that a virus (in the traditional computer virus sense... none of this MS vbscript bs) is detectible because it needs to mess with the file by appending itself to the end and/or adding jumps in the beginning of the code. A Trojan Horse on the other hand is compiled from source to include the backdoor. This makes it virtually undetectible without looking at the source or somehow triggering it.
What FallLine is saying about trojan's is completely true. Not only is it next to impossible to trojan a binary executable, but its detectible because it leaves a specific signature. A trojan compiled into a binary from source code is not only MUCH easier to implement, but it could very easily go undetected.
Yes. This is precisely the problem with LOTS of people just out of college. Companies are only hiring people with 4+ yrs experience. 4 Years from now they'll only be hiring people with 8+ yrs experience. There's a significant event horizon here thats completely obliterated our college grad's chances of getting a job. I'm barely hanging on to the sector...:(
If this was a law requiring companies to keep break-ins confidential you'd be bitching about that saying that these things should be made public knowledge!
5-10 Years from now the likelyhood of anyone in the US being able to write software AND be paid enough to live looks very grim. Become a product manager or development manager. Its every developers hope at ever having a decent salary again.
However great this guy may seem to appear, he is more than likely a moron, simply because he got caught. The feds like to let a hacker run amuck to see who else he brings into the picture. The mere fact that they KNOW he hacked 100 machines (or networks or whatever) means that he was extremely obvious about it (bragging, nuking machines, etc).
The problem with reports like this is that you never know precisely what the unbias facts are. In a world where the majority of conservationist organizations are run by zealots who practically hate civilization altogether, you never know who you can trust.... and it only hurts their cause. In this case, nobody is going to stop using computers or even pay attention to this article.
I have this on the Nokia 9290 Communicator. I was completely blown away by the fact that it plays better than on my first desktop. It makes any boring meeting/seminar/family event a thing of the past when you know you can just find a seat and whip out your phone. From what I've heard, its fully capable of multiplayer as well (even between PC and Phone), but I have not tried it.
Agreed, however that type of security implies a software level solution regardless. I'd personally rather leave WEP alone and let thirdparties solve the issue in their own proprietary way. Not to be a troll, but it forces large corporations to buy software... which is a rare thing these days.
Big Massive Everything = Universe. There is no such thing as universes. The only way for us to legitimately theorize that there is matter formed independent of our big bang, outside our known cosmos is if there were some kind of interaction between the two. Obviously, there is none, therefore its a bogus theory with no evidence supporting it. Even if there were evidence, this would by no means suggest that there are multiple universes, but rather that our Universe is different from what we suggested.
In summary, if we can't see it, and we can't interact with it and we cannot detect any effects of it, then there can be no legitimate scientific theory for it to exist. And on the other hand if we CAN detect it then it DOES interact with our Universe which means that we SHARE the same Universe. There simply is no such thing as universes. Anyone who uses the term is either not following the scientific method or simply does not understand the term.

That free software requires money to fund its production? Almost sounds like Capitalism.... the irony....

Because we know NOTHING about how the bird walks, swims and flies. Its all assumption with no evidence.
