Who didn't know this/wasn't doing this when they were using such an insecure protocol. With Cat-5, and least you are fairly safe from eavesdropping, they have to at the very least physically compromise security. But with anything wireless that is not the case, and I wouldn't trust that network with ANYTHING secure without all kinds of controlled access at both ends. I mean, DUH.
Don't know a THING about Palos Verdes, thats just not one of our markets. And we didnt pull that bullshit here I'll tell you that. Of course this was an independent ISP before Cox bought them out, and really we're just TCA with Cox logos:) Palos Verdes is probably Cox @home, correct?
People are going to download this stuff regardless. The advantage to having your own news server is that IT downloads the content, then basicly caches it for all your customers on YOUR network so they don't have to go over your $$$ backbone connection (well its more expensive than bandwidth traveling on your own network) to get to supernews or whatever. Filtering like that is just stupid.
We don't give a shit what you do:) Seriously, I don't know how bitchy @home is, but you could max out your upstream and downstream simultaneously from now to the end of your lifespan, even just spewing worthless packets, and we wouldn't care. Just my 2 cents. (Cox in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Idaho, Missouri, and Mississippi)
Doing tech support for their ONLY market that isn't @Home. And I must say this is a GOOD thing. Our support turn-around times are WAY better than theirs, as is our network. I'm glad we're ditching that sinking ship in the rest of our markets and doing our own thing.
When you are about to make a stupid purchase, and then renders the numbers invalid. For example, if you try and pick up the Waterworld DVD, now only will the card not work, it will also kick your ass. Really handy if I say so:)
And then GREAT movies like Memento just don't come to a theatre anywhere near me. Its like a fucking conspiracy. The movie is awesome, apparently has won great acclaim from the critics, but just didn't show in any city that wasn't a "major" one.
Awesome game. I uhh, downloaded the Japanese version, played through it despite the language barrier, and loved it. Hard game too. This reminds me of that quite a bit.
After the trolls post countless comments, and everyone already knows about it and us RESENTING you. Post a story about it. A nice fluff PR piece. Guys, we're losing it. Sourceforge isn't the Sourceforge I grew up with. Tis sad. Lets just hope/. continues the high level of professionalism it always has.
I do feel for the guys though, watching your stock drop, having to basically shutdown VA, that couldn't of been fun. Oh, and they've got all of us laughing our asses off. Its just cruel
WARNING, THIS DEVICE PRODUCES SIGNIFANT AMOUNTS OF RADIATION WHEN IT IS IN OPERATION. Pregnant women, catholics, those with heart conditions, small pets, children, those with children, the elderly, those wearing hats, and MCSEs should keep ample distance when this device is in operation.
Everyday. Sure, pushing the envelope is fun, but I'll hold off on something with THAT much connectivity til its smaller than my current cell-phone (Samsung SCH-3500), has more features, and can connect anywhere. Plus, when is someone going to make a phone that LOOKS like a TOS communicator, and makes the same noise when you open it? (with an option to disable it of course) That would be COOL
Microsoft would learn from Sega's mistake and make this thing uncrackable. We're talking HARDCORE copy protection. While I do enjoy the emulator and homebrew market for my dreamcast, the rampant piracy that also stemmed from the fact that hackers cracked it open wider than Cartman's mom made the hardware die out faster than it should of. Sega wasn't selling enough software, and now the console is gone earlier than it should of been. A LOT of the games ROCKED too. While yes, MAME on Xbox would ROCK, I think its going to be a while before the community cracks this thing open. Oh, wait, its Microsoft, two weeks and a batch file, and we're in.
Your DHCP server detects a buffer-overflow attack from some jack-ass running WindowsXP. It goes into action, hitting bugtraq to find the latest exploits for the offending OS, found. It firewalls itself off, then passes the appropriate counter-measure information to your mail server. The mail server hacks the machine, shuts down the offending process, and patches the TCP/IP stack with one that DOESN'T have raw socket access. After only a few moments, one less XP machine is 1337.
Its fucking sad that in a country supposedly founded on free speech, we have to resort to this bullshit. The only reason major industry developed in early america, is because someone had the guts and the knowledge to memorize the plans, carry them across the Atlantic in his head, and reproduce them in the states. Now just making a device that makes it possible for someone else to circumvent a protection device, which didn't used to always be illegal, can be jailed. Sometimes you NEED to break the protection for legitimate reasons under fair-use. Whatever happend to fair-use anyway?
Learn BSD. Sure, why not. My linux box (a dual pentium II) is currently just sitting there. A good shakeup is in order. Plus, Linux is too trendy, BSD still had that air of elitism.

(just joking, its a fine state, I lived through High School there)
Ok, lots of smart people on /. someone explain this please. Because the article sure doesn't!
Hollywood be some bullshit.

I'm glad they're doing this, the swiss are bastards anyway, Nazi sympathizers.
