The guy asks a question relating to the equipment that he should include on his boat that is currently under construction, and your reply is to get a smaller boat? Yep, this is Slashdot all right.
yeha heer comes the boats full of men armed with machine and a rocket launcher.
Yeah, one person NOT going to hold them off. You might, however, piss them off enough where they will send a rocket into the side of your boat, and come back later to,loot what ever is floating around. Or more likely spray you ship with bullets until you are dead.
What exactly do you suggest? Play dead and hope they go away? Try to reason with them, perhaps?
Right, that's my mistake for assuming that the Apple TV was a TV. The Apple TV is neither an apple nor a TV, got it. Regardless, the article was questioning that decision presumably based on the $90 difference per classroom for a wireless box versus a cable.
A $90 difference per classroom, and the cables aren't very easy to lose when they stay in the classroom. Regardless, that's why the article questioned why they would buy the Apple TV. I'm not trying to argue.
I'm not sure what's so bizarre about using an AppleTV in that way though - it's designed for that purpose and it works great in that kind of situation.
The article questioned spending the money for an entire TV when you can buy a cable to connect to an existing TV for much less.
Any provider is vulnerable to certain common flaws in DNS, or DDOS attacks in general, but not all providers are incompetent.
Anyway, I don't have any skin in the game, I don't care who you host with. Apparently your reasoning is that GoDaddy has a better control panel than the industry-standard WHM/cPanel, and I can't comment on that because I have no experience with GoDaddy's control panel. I'll continue using my dedicated servers at Cybertrails, you do what you want to do, and we're both happy (assuming our sites aren't offline, that is).
I didn't say it wasn't a scam, I said it's not fraud. The difference is that fraud is illegal. It's up to the donors to verify who they're donating to, if they get scammed by a legal PAC then that's basically their fault since the PACs are obligated to disclose who they are.
I went with GoDaddy initially because they were the lowest priced, had the least technical problems, and have excellent customer support.
That's great, but considering that's no longer necessarily true, my question is what is your reason for "doubling down". Hostgator, for example, has had 100% uptime since April (they guarantee 99.9%). They also have cheaper hosting plans than GoDaddy. Domain registration has fairly consistent pricing, I don't see a reason to register with GoDaddy and be subjected to their crap just to save a dollar or two (if that). Dyn.com can host all the DNS records you want, that's what they specialize in. I just don't see any reason to use GoDaddy, so I'm just wondering why you're so eager to go whole hog for them.
How come you're so eager to "double down" on a web host with one of the worst online reputations? Do you think you're sending some sort of message to "hackers" by doing so? Here's the message you're sending: you're saying you don't care about reliable hosting, that you're willing to stay with GoDaddy and continue to pay them because you don't want to make any effort to find a better deal. They know that, and they will continue to provide the same level of service without seeing a need to improve.
Look into Hostgator, or Siteocity. If you really want to stay with a big company with failing customer support, maybe try Softlayer instead of GoDaddy.
What's the big mystery? Exposure is the obvious reason. Now I'm sitting here and know that there is someone in Brazil with too much time on his hands who likes calling himself "AnonymousOwn3r". I didn't know that yesterday, and I probably still wouldn't know it if he took down vistaPages or Vodahost or whoever else. Not that I'm going to do anything with that pearl of knowledge, but I'm sure he's getting iFellated in whatever IRC channel he hangs out in.
It's online now, and that happens to be his #1 rule:
Get and stay out of your comfort zone.
I believe that not much happens of any significance when we're in our comfort zone. I hear people say, "But I'm concerned about security." My response to that is simple: "Security is for cadavers."
I guess he's not in his comfort zone. Which must mean Anonymous is doing him a favor.
No, no, what happened is The Free Market (blessed be Its holy name) has decided that these fraudst--sorry, intrepid businessmen at CapePac deserve that money in the marketplace of ideas.
After all, that's the decision that these sucke--sorry, customers have unwittingl--I mean willingly made.
I really don't think that anyone has been "hoodwinked", or that these are fraud or phishing sites. These are PAC sites. This is what PACs do, they accept donations and essentially spend that money any way they see fit. Ostensibly, like the fine print says, they use that money to oppose various candidates like the president, or support other candidates (often it seems that supporting a candidate actually means running ads opposing another candidate, rather than ads that highlight why your man should get the job).
Anyway, my point is that this is not malware, or phishing, or an "attack", or fraud. This is American politics. So really the post I'm replying to is right on target, sarcasm or not - this is the system that we have deliberately made for ourselves.
As phrased by an article at ZDNet, it's any company that allows this result:
So there are two things we know: Apple and the FBI are back on the Christmas card lists of the general public, and hackers apparently lie.
Apple and the FBI are good, and hackers are bad. Apparently that's the lesson to take away from this.
According to their article in Wikipedia, it's also a company that lists the Department Of State and the Public Relations Society of America among their customers.
its funny you seem to think they would let you install their game without it...
Actually I'm wondering which games require UPlay. It doesn't look like Anno 2070 does, for example, but I don't see anything on the Steam page for Assassin's Creed 2 that states that UPlay is included. Then again, the Wikipedia page for Anno 2070 doesn't mention UPlay like it does on the page for Assassin's Creed 2.
I mean, Steam is the always-on connection. I don't see any reason why they would require a separate check for that.

Also, get British charts, they are better than American charts.
And Dutch rudders are superior to their American counterparts.

A free-floating EPIRB will automatically engage in case of sinking and with its encoded distress signal you will get aid within hours.*

I'll give you a hint: part of the patent is the actual implementation of it, not just a description of "wouldn't-that-be-cool".
It sounds like they wanted to keep the same width and just make it taller until it got to 16:9.

Not so fast, there.

Not that my vote really matters in this state, but I'm going for Gary Johnson. He only needs 92% of his possible electoral votes to win!

It already has been reformed. This is the reform.

Statement ending with a question mark?
1.6 MPa = 232 psi (pounds/sq in). High, sure, but within the level you can contain in a soda pop bottle
Would this explain the Chinese military's program to develop a really big Mentos?

You bought their game on Steam and it still installed UPlay?
