Didn't WikiLeaks ask at least one federal department for help redacting names and other identifying info from the documents, and those departments declined to do so?
I bet the people who drafted this Bill for him (and I don't mean his staff) didn't know that, or conveniently forgot about it.
Formally, it is irrelevant that WL asked a dept to redact out the names. It is like: "If I asked you to help me in staying legit and you refused, it will be your responsibility if I'd be doing something illegal".
Mind you, I'm not saying that WL did something illegal.
...the fact that they've done damage to all those websites of businesses...im sure potential customers aren't at all put off seeing that domain seizure image.
If you're running your business' web presence through freeDNS, you have bigger issues than this my friend.
Come again? Care to elaborate? I might be dense today, I can't imagine what issues an organisation may have, issue bigger than to be falsely painted as a child abuser in public?
Any NGO which is happy to save every dime in costs and use that dime for the goals of the NGO has suddenly "bigger issues", eh? Yes, I can see they do have issues, except that the issue is not caused by them, but by incompetence...
What's scarier: the issue was caused by the active incompetence of those in power. Even more, this also reveals there are not enough checks in the system to prevent such actions, no matter the cause/intent: incompetence, malice or corruption.
didn't have to wait every 10 seconds while watching the video
Yeap, chop the moaning and it becomes totally anticlimactic.
Also, I wonder how "intelligent" this pre-fetching will be? I mean, even for a simpler problem, the ISP-es landed us in bufferbloating; if this miraculous "intelligence" is to be ran/pushed by content providers but supported by telcos/ISPs, I'm sure we'll finish much worse.
You have a 'data quota'? What kind of a 3rd world country still has those...
"Data plan for 3 or 4G mobile networks" sounds better to you?
Even on the tubez, do you think is better to have unlimited but QoS-es traffic or a limited traffic quota with no QoS?
Typo (or... was it?!). Anyway, I like the way you think.
Given the percentage of the Earth's population having a FB account, is awful how large is the trivial (/no-sweat) domain of applicability for the rule 34.
What blows me away is that it would seemingly generate a large volume of messages and where I live would ultimately cost more than the data plan, in addition... to you not having a data plan.
In addition to (TFA):
We do know, however, that Gemalto plans to offer Facebook for SIM on a limited free trial period and will then have it operate on a subscription model.
There you go: pay for SMS-es to your telco and to Gemalto and still have no data plan. But... I guess they'll have a good enough market segment: lotsa consumers for FB.
The difference between a computer and a refrigerator is that a refrigerator doesn't get to talk to its buddies on the phone.
Another specific difference: I don't know anyone to put together a fridge from components bought separately, but I know lots that do build their own PC this way.
That's right...after all, it is the consumer that keeps using a vulnerable operating system. Same degree of responsibility as in paying a certain vendor for the use of a said vulnerable system (and possibly generating extra CO2 by running a crappy AV solution to protect that OS).
FTFY. Two examples why this is important:
1. how much security the TSA scanners bring? how much do they cost?
2. a very recent case showed a group of 3 companies trying to get a contact for 6 months at 2 mils/month. Turned out that one of them wasn't even able to secure its digital assets.
I admit, I didn't say what good security mean. Well, that's let as homework.. for extra points, see how much of what Obama wants is indeed good security.
Air gapping the stock exchange would be pretty inconvenient for pretty much anyone who deals with it at all.
The use of Telepathy Control Protocol over Idiotic Precogs would solve this in a blink. Too bad the BoA seems to hold some patents on it - they used it to register in advance some domain names, so the rumors have it. (*duck*)
Wondering how Arron Barr's presentation on Social Network went... Though I might post as "Anonymous Coward", but don't feel like having my door kicked in by the Fed's today.
Searched the RSA11 sessions: his presentation is nowhere to be found.
Oh, well as long as they claim to not hack systems, I see no reason not to trust them. I hereby proclaim Wikileaks to be an honest company because that's my opinion so it must be fact!
Doh, AC... Your proclamation seems a bit redundant (to use a mild term), don't you think?
Or you haven't heard about "Innocent until proven guilty" yet?
may 6, 2010. look for the photo in Wall Street Journal. Vice Admiral Joseph Maguire rang the NYSE opening bell, Maguire is deputy director for Strategic Operational Planning at the National Counterterrorism Center. Record high trading volume, dow drops over 1000 points... someone banked billions in an hour
How does it go? Something like "never attribute to malice that could be reasonable explained by stupidity" or something (because it weren't the guys that caused it the ones who banked them billions).
Malicious hacker No. 7: Rogue hackers There are hundreds of thousands of hackers who simply want to prove their skills, brag to friends, and are thrilled to engage in unauthorized activities.
They may be "hacking stupid", but they are legion... just as the populace bearing arms... Because we are yet to see them being persistent, it doesn't mean it cannot happen to make a mass transition from the "rogue" category to the "low-tech hacktivists" one.
Is Dell considering making a more integrated kind of product line? Talk about a change in strategy.
It's much cheaper to manufacture products IF you can control every aspect of most of the primary components being used. And then also manufacturing facilities.. well, even more so.. wow.
FTFY... I don't know how long Dell would be able to keep the AMD-brand CPU-es relevant.

What does it say when I have only 24 facebook friends and I'm still stressed out by all the "noise".
That you are masochistic enough to stay in a situation nobody forced you in?
Where the fuck do I live again?
In the "land of the home and free of the brave".

... eat their data quota in no time. Consequently, telcos will get enough money to pay us royalty for our patented technologies.

F***Book should have it's own nuclear weapons program, too.
Can't. They are not used with the idea of security and Stuxnet is still at large.
If I had been a protester in Egypt or Tunisia recently, I would not want my facebook messages going over the wire by SMS.
With? Is TOR-over-SMS impossible? (*duck*)
If there are phones like that still in existence, they only able to work on shit services; which means I don't even bother to look.
Netbook+PCMCIA Mobile Internet+Skype=a big "smartphone" (add a headset to it).
Now, I'm going hook electrodes to my balls for even reading this fucking site and vice grips to crush them for actually fucking posting here.
Good, one less /.-er for the next generation.

The Salsa and the ChaCha?
What about the Bachata, the Merengue, the Cumbia, the Tejano, and the Norteno? I want a phone named after one of those!
Flamenco? Uh, no, Flamenco + FaecBook is a horrendous semantical combination - even worse than Bach fugues + fastfood (both of them being "fast")

Given, it is easier to do explot Windows. But it is even easier to exploit stupid users than it is to exploit Windows.
Right. At least, you don't need to pay for the OS and be exploited while running Ubuntu d:)
The responsibility goes to the consumer,
That's right...after all, it is the consumer that keeps using a vulnerable operating system. Same degree of responsibility as in paying a certain vendor for the use of a said vulnerable system (and possibly generating extra CO2 by running a crappy AV solution to protect that OS).
