MafiaBoy
At the time of his hack, Mike Calce could only be referred to as MafiaBoy since Canadian laws prevented news outlets from releasing the name of the then teenage super hacker. In February 2000, Calce launched a denial-of-service attack that struck 11 major Web companiesâ"including Amazon, eBay, E*TRADE, and Dellâ"via 75 computers on 52 networks. While there's no hard data to quantify how much monetary damage was done, analyst estimates range as high as $1.7 billion Canadian (that's currently about $1.6 billion U.S). When tried in 2001, Calce was handed a sentence of eight months "open custody," limited Internet use, a small fine, and one year of probation.

He basically found out how to do a DDOS, which was the first of it's kind. Before that, the main exploits ranged from SMURF.c to PEPSI.c to SLICE3.c (for some reason they were a lot of soft drink names). MafiaBoy went into an irc channel (I am omitting the name) bragging about how he could "down" anything. A few suggestions were made for what at the time were the biggest sites on the web. Once he packeted one, the spectators were unsure that it was really him until he made large website after large website a "404". The rest is history.
They should start the computer up, leave it unplugged, and run prime 95 or some other resource maximizing program to see it's potential. Then do one that does it at around 50% then idle, etc. And do this and average them, or something of the sort. I do agree with the first comment though, marketing the batteries will be weird unless there is news coverage to the general public about the new method of time calculations.
If you think about it, a little bit of money, and Bill Gates would be the curer for Global Warming. Or any company wishing to do a little PR enhancement. Seriously though, this is nothing compared to what the U.S. (not even the world) could spend to "fix" the problem. That is to say this would fix it completely.
I hope that they keep the same values that made everyone switch to Google as their search engine for Chrome. I believe if they base their formation of Chrome off of the principles and ideals they had when they formed Google, I look forward to it's inception.
This talks about spontaneous memory recalling. What if it isn't spontaneous and you are trying to recall something, does that matter? Yes it seems to be good for the field especially for dementia, but what if what these people are experiencing is the wrong type of memory recollection and the type they are looking for is stored elsewhere? I guess I am just skeptical about the knowledge about that this "type" of memory has compared to others, if there are others (I assumed there were since it described the recollection as spontaneous instead of just a memory).
Most people don't actually read all of the Terms of Service, including myself. The problem is we don't feel that large companies (such as the ones expressed in the article) would take advantage of us in their EULA and just agree to anything. But if we did read and find it (such as now) are we going to stop using these services? Probably not.
I figured I'd save a few bucks by doing my own water cooling and using some seals from a hardware store. The problem was that the seal wasn't perfect and it melted to part of my pc. Needless to say, if you are not worried about ruining your hardware, then by all means, go for it. But I would google anything you are trying to do/use and make sure the parts are definitely capable of withstanding the punishment you are about to put on it. If not, your great idea may go to the wayside because of insufficient materials.
That's what I was thinking. I originally thought that it was an "up-to-date" used that the police were using for their high tech crime unit organization. The title totally threw me off. Would have been actual "news" if someone had actually taken the site from them.
Why are they running the cash register software in an Administrator login? If they were able to run the software as a limited login, this would prevent most employees from being able to steal from the owners by not being able to run any program if properly configured. We all know if the employee had enough knowledge and alone time with the machine, passwords can be reset, and the zapper program installed/run, but this should subdue most employees with limited IT knowledge.
She had pleaded with the judge not to send her to prison.
"I have grandchildren," she said. "The time I have left, I'd like to spend with them. I don't think it's fair to take me away from them."
I don't understand how it matters that she has grandchildren or how old she may be. She was convicted of fraud and other crimes, so the law she punish her the same.
So if they learn to follow really well, we can dance partners for those that don't have any rhythm or rhyme to their dance moves at all. And finally someone(thing) that can dance like Usher. Sweet!
I had never heard of this, but then again I have never actually gone to Vegas.
Anyway, would that make this the longest running Star Trek franchise?
Well I've been to Vegas and I still didn't hear of this. The majority of the people hear about the magicians and comedians, David Copperfield, Penn & Teller. This is a niche market that seems to be declining because the age of the normal trekie is rising and subsequently declining.
Did the OP say McCloud? I don't remember if Scott is his first name but did the one and only Highlander quit decapitating people and start working for google? That is sad news.
It just seems odd they can do this. It's like patenting a screen resolution or right click of a mouse. What is the point in doing so anyways? Just to piss more people off?
You can just make the game never ending like World of Warcraft. They keep making new dungeons, new weapons, new skills, and the PvP aspect is different everytime. Blizzard nailed it on the head with the ability to captivate the gamers and then keep them wanting better and more stuff. Blizzard will release Diablo III soon, which will hopefully have some aspects of WoW that make people go, well, "Wow!".
There are things that sometimes just don't need to be divulged so that every blow joe doesn't decide to run around trying it. An example is that I have figured out a few ways talking with some other IT professionals on how to successfully use someone's credit card without their consent or without triggering the companies themselves and I have decided to keep those revelations to myself so that it is not exploited by every script kiddie and wannabe hackers to try.
If these people are able to track down terrorists, should they feel obligated to share their techniques with the government, and try to unite their resources to track and apprehend the terrorists, faster and sooner?
The only way to combat the editing (no one was going to google her before the announcement) would be to have people compile the information they want ahead of time, and then when the announcement is made, do a quick update on wikipedia.org. This would have completed what they wanted and also not provided a bread trail for these people to use for their "prediction".
What do you expect? They said that their operating systems were supposed to be extremely secure, and were they? No. Microsoft is not a software company driven by good morals, they are driven by money and their marketing department. So it was a publicity stunt. Microsoft has had many publicity stunts in the past and have broken many promises.

Honda is resurrecting the "Insight" name, this time in the form of a five-seat, Prius-like hatchback.
So changing in to a 5-seaters allow more people to get out of the car and help when there's a big hill right?
