    And how exactly does this differ from commercial network monitoring programs? Other than not costing an obscene amount of money of course.

    However, the attack presented only applies to a specific network card model (Broadcom NetXtreme)

    If you're using the component cables, they have to be rotated JUST RIGHT or it doesn't work. I know it's a hassle, but spend the time and you'll get the absolute best picture you can get!

    You can't use component cable! You need a specially calibrated Monster HDMI cable now on sale for $99.95!!! Anything less will provide a sub-optimal viewing experience and void your warranty.

  4. The Right-Wing nutjobs may have been right? on Full ACTA Leak Online · · Score: 2, Funny

    Perhaps this, rather than the UN, is the 'Evil One-World Govenment' they were warning us about...

    What level of unemployment should we reach in the united states before the government can act to protect its citizens?

    There is no reasonable stance that defends the existence or the activities of botnets either legally or morally.

    "We can make money off of it" seems to work for a lot of people.

  13. Re:Oops. I forgot to plan the array on Wear Leveling, RAID Can Wipe Out SSD Advantage · · Score: 1

    OTOH: Who pays 100K for one of those? That has to be including the Enterprise 120GB SSD's at $4k each, right?

    That $100K gets you more than bare drives, You get the flexibility to carve out partitions however you like, configuring them for maximum performance or whatever level of redundancy you need. You get snapshot backups, offsite replication, etc.(At additional cost of course...)

    And, of course you also get the letters 'E', 'M', and 'C'.

    Bar codes printed on media of all kinds are generally quite robust and not error prone.

    Intended message: I have a lot of money.
    Actual message: I either have an obcene credit card balance or I have a lot of money but no financial sense. Either way I will probably be bankrupt in the not-too-distant future.

    The purpose of owning a Rolex is to make a statement: "I am better than you because I have so much money that I can spend thousands of dollars on a watch that doesn't tell time any better than a $25 Timex".

    Have an artist file suit against whoever filed the DCMA paperwork. The artist should be entitled to the "lost sales" of the artists work on the same level of damages the RIAA claim.

    Judge: I find the defendant MegaBigRecordCorp guilty of all charges. Defendant will reimburse the plaintiff all losses.

    Record Exec: Let's see... Let's assume that the artists blog would have brought in 500,000 sales for the week it was down. Figure in all administrative costs, etc...
