When somebody says they "built a house," do you ask them if they grew the trees that supplied the lumber? I can smell your superiority complex from here.
Skype enjoys its large user base in part due to the way that it penetrates firewalls with port randomization... Also, Skype uses strong encryption for its transmissions. I'd argue that Skype deserves its reputation and user base.
PC gaming is limited because it's so damn open you cant assume anything and have to build for the broadest possible configurations.
Perspective is everything, I guess. I see open configs as the future of computing, and "walled gardens" as nothing more than companies' business models to sell their overpriced products. Of course this is a generalization, and I really would like to go into a DRM discussion at this point... but taht's not necessary.
I have heard legend of my company's old IT manager. He walked in one day and asked, "Ed, how many servers do we have?" Ed thought a moment, counted the physical servers in addition to the virtual servers, tried to come up with a number and ballparked, "Twenty or so." the manager replied, "That's too many."
the hilarious part is that the manager had no idea what a "server" was. I mean, literally no idea. The parent post reminded me of that story.
The Dreamcast was a failure, by most reviews. I find it funny you're idolizing this failed console, while stating current PC gaming sucks. Oh... and speaking of evil... I would have to say Sony is more evil than Microsoft because at least Microsoft never revoked a system function (Other OS) or install rootkits without notice (thank god for Mark Russinovich).
Distributed means from many sources. Attacks of this nature will not be affected by Chrome's mechanism. Chrome's feature will only prevent repeated requests from the same user. DOS attacks are blunted, not DDOS.
The poor suckers who have their email server compromised will inevitably be blacklisted by their ISPs. This will effectively prevent any mail from successfully being sent out to recipients. This means that the legitimate email server will no longer be able to send any mail, or any mail of their customers' behalf until the victimized server can be cleaned of malware on their server, and the owner can convince their ISP and anyone else who has cut them off to trust them again enough to accept email from them. It's not good for business when your email cuts out. Lots of money can be lost.
Spammers are assholes getting free advertising at the expense of legitimate businesses and home users. They steal, dupe, and shit on everyone they come in contact with. They obtain their revenue through unscrupulous means. What is hard to understand about the criminal activity here?
Restricting internet access is a trivial task to anybody that can use a computer and a search engine - many free solutions are available. Apple is just trying to pander to the crowd of lazy parents who buy into the notion that Apple is a nice company with morals that will protect their kids from porn. IMO, kids love porn, and will find it regardless of the computer they're using. *yawn*
I think they should be praised, yes. I also recognize their actions are illegal and therefore uncondoned; however, I believe it is a important thing that the potential impact of the internet is commonly known to all peoples of the world. We live in an age where near-instant communication is the norm and that will hopefully empower more revolutionary movements like the ones we've seen in the Middle East. Damn the semantics - "those 'hacktivists' broke the law" - those hackers are peaceful protestors from a certain perspective.
The Nobel Peace Prize should be awarded to Mubarak for stepping down. Undignified and belatedly, yes, but peacefully, without ordering his troops to fire upon the protestors.

start turning off the IPv4 stuff, because there's no benefit to it.
IP v 4 is 32 bit, and its dotted-quad notation is arguably more human-readable than IP v 6 (128 bit hex). Anything that is NAT'd will remain IP v 4...

Holy LOL. If the government were impotent, you'd be murdered for the cash in your wallet by the meth addict down the street. Get real, man.

LOL, this is appears to be a story that was posted in thoughtful hindsight after being thoroughly trolled.
Wow, what's your job title? "Spam filter manager?"

How insightful, thank you for contributing nothing useful or interesting.
I'm going to have to side with the non-slaveholders...
wut a waste of mod points, modding these points down...
Holy cow, Fox News. I think that's a channel that will die with the baby boomers... I hope
Linksys is for SOHO networks, you're going to have shell out more money for enterprise WAPs.

Doesn't rhyme with Linus and has a million flavors.

"Moooooommmmm!"
"Yes, dear?"
"Bathroom!"
"What's that, poopsiekins?"
"BATHROOM!!!!"
In no way, shape or form is wikileaks promoting peace in any sense of the word. Unbelievable.
Thank you for expressing your incredulousness, you just said what many people were thinking.
