The difference between Windows Mobile not having phishing filters and the IPhone not having phishing filters is that Windows Mobile never at any point gave you an illusion of protection.
If you haven't been trained on basic internet usage - its VERY easy to fall for phishing attempts. We've been browsing the net for years now, and all it takes is someone who says "You can pay your bills online" for someone to try and google how to do it on their own and then fall into a trap.
I'd say Cross Server Scripting has gotten the best of at least half my friends. Fortunately most of them didn't have any valuable information.
Yeah, but Network Television has advertising companies BIDDING to get their commercials on the air, there isn't never not something on. Website Advertising is generally done on a "per-click basis".
As in, I have to go, find a package of adverts from a company whom I think are most similar or appealing to my website. I have to sign up for their deal, and they'll let me put those banners on my page, and for every visitor that clicks on an ad I get a penny.
The more annoying ones (like those emoticons) will give you more than a penny.
Now when a social networking site gets as massive as Facebook or Myspace, I understand that if 10,000 users out of a million click on an add thats 100 dollars in a day.
But when something like that is starting out, it seems like that middle ground where servers become expensive but the ads don't generate enough revenue... sounds like a money pit.
There could be features to automatically count positive tweets and negative tweets said about the company you've got the dashboard running for, as well as some demographical information.
I've never understood how Social Networking sites made enough money off of JUST advertising. Maintaining a website once it reaches popularity is a costly venture.
It makes sense, the cameras in the Hubble Telescope capture more then just the colour spectrum, they also capture Infrared and Gamma rays, which are invisible to our eyes so the colours help express exactly whats going on in that cluster of stars.
What I don't get is why we don't have more than one Camera up there, one with Natural Colour, and one with the greyscale wider range cameras.
The fact that it went from a Pig only strain to a Human compatible one is demonstration of the mutative abilities. Perhaps Rapid meaning "speedy" was a poor choice of words on my part.
Those concerned with what strangers see on Facebook don't put information they don't want strangers to see on Facebook.
Those who use Facebook in such a manner aren't the type who have the time to install tools, run them, send the key to their friends, and then append @@ to everything they want hidden.
Facebook already provides the means to keep your stuff secret to just your friends, and its easier to close off your profile to the public then it is to Encrypt random Data.
Because swine flu is a rarer type of virus in that it transfered from one species to another, something that bird flu hasn't (yet). Given that it can mutate that rapidly, we need to keep a close eye on it. Alot of people blame fleas and rats for "The Black Death" that plagued Europe and killed around half the population, but in hindsight alot of it was because of poor hygene practices and people thinking its just another disease, before it being fully developed in 2 months and killing the person.
Essentially, now that we know such rapidly mutating viruses can be dangerous, we like to keep them in check, so that the same thing doesn't happen again. Swine flu may have a low mortality rate now, but that doesn't mean it won't later.
Doesn't mean they need to be Pompous pricks. Better at their job, sure. And if they want to act like an all powerful manager, fine by me. It's the VP's and GM's who refuse to say Hello to the receptionist when she says Hi because its below them... Those are the people I'm talking about. Just because you are better at your job doesn't mean you need to be rude.
Alot of people think their HD player will send to their HD TV with regular cabling, you'd be surprised. I'd say about 2 in 5 make that mistake.
5.1 has been out for a while, yes, we know that. There IS such thing as HD sound, that kind of stuff comes on High Definition Discs like Blu Ray. The speakers required to output these properly are generally the higher end, packaged 5.1 deals. If you get 2 speakers and are expecting HD Sound you'll have trouble getting that full experience.
The point I meant to illustrate is that you have to invest ALOT just to reach the HD Experience, and alot of people don't think its worth it.
Exactly. It works in almost every aspect of life. I worked in a sales environment for about a month and I can tell you, the guys who are great at sales, tend to be real assholes. But you know why they have a job? They're GREAT at it.
Even a receptionist can be a little snarky if she is so fluid with the paperwork that she can do more than is expected of her.
I've found the more recent Bond movies and those actiony type films have not done those soft filters when shooting an intense action sequence.
See, my understanding was that they reformatted it to fit my television screen, or at least thats what the little blue message at the beginning has led me to believe.
I'll have to give planet side a try - it sounds different even if I don't enjoy it I'll have a broader perception of whats out there.
I just think alot of people have a different Idea of what Skill is. I, for one, would argue that Twitch reflexes are as important as knowing what you're oponent is going to do next. I played WoW from Year 1 up until the end of Burning Crusade, and I can say for a fact that In the olden Days, Skilled Noobs can beat non-skilled Veterans. You can look up "Unknown"'s first Mage PvP video to get the gist of it - a level 53 Mage destroying level 60's. And I continued to play the game while that was the case. I found that my skill level was enough to beat 70% of opponents.
My skill level being that I would A) Know the most common opening, mid fight, and end fight combos for each class I'd encounter B) Know what counters each class has for my abilities C) Twitch Reflexes to ensure my strategies are working seemlessly.
Those were the essentials (in order of importance) to being good at PvP. Certain PvP gametypes like the Arena they introduced stressed teamwork so well, that you could probably drop twitch reflexes off the list so that if you knew the first two, your team would win matches.
Some people like to Gank, Twink, and Farm the gold, but I've never found that any of those people have been better than me because my skill is usually greater (especially than the eBayers). Jimmy got the Sword of 1337ness, but he'll never be able to hit me with it, was the general strategy.
(As Yahtzee from Zero Punctuation Reviews put it) Alot of people tended to think of MMO's as a game of Who's got the bigger boots and kick each other in the shins till one of you falls down and dies. Its the people who think the game is like that who are the easiest to defeat.
I also just have trouble grasping a no currency system and how I would fully enjoy it. I've been playing Eve alot lately, which is so FULLY centralized on its currency that it seems silly to imagine Farming for Gold again, let alone a system where money doesn't exist.
That might be a personal preference. Keep in mind you need A Blu Ray Player, HD Cabling, HD Sound Devices (That support Dolby 5.1 preferably), and an HDTV.
If you don't notice a DIFFERENCE, then you aren't doing it right. If you don't find yourself more entertained, that means you enjoyed the movie for something more. I know what you're going to say, and I agree:
Non power curved (so there won't be n00bst0mping, instead levels give you flexibility), persistent battlefield (not meaningless rounds), no player trade (therefore no gold farming, twinking or buying virtual "property" with real money), rewards skill, tactics, strategy and teamwork over not having a life or having more money than sense.
ip>
Theres a few problems in the basic design of such a system. I personally don't understand how people tend to think of "Flexibility" as NOT an overpowering strength. Its just as bad as n00bst0mping, essentially I'll be so flexible that my options allow me to perfectly outplay my opponent with fewer options. No player trade is a huge setback, and will actually encourage farming since people can't buy it (Albiet, EVERYONE on the server will be farming instead of just the Chinese). It'll either work out that its way too easy to get Gold, or its way too hard. And that in itself can fluctuate with player population.
I personally have not found an MMO today that doesn't reward skill, tactics, strategy and teamwork over grinders or EBayers. You can argue that yes, you got beaten by the guy in the best armour because he had the best armour, but to be frank, if he's got no life he's got a better understanding of the game mechanics then you do as well, so he could have probably beaten you in a naked duel.
But then again, I went to a Polytechnic where one of our classes involved remoting into the old Unix Box...
Fun times!
If the college campus has an Information and Computer Technology (or ICT) wing/branch/faculty, talk to those guys. Considering THEY are the ones who set up the servers, tested applications, WiFi, etc etc, they'll be able to give you the whats up on whether your linux box will work. DON'T waste your time with the "Techs" they have set up for the quick laptop repair. If its a Mac, they'll have you uninstall some software. If its a PC, they'll tell you just to have the image ghosted and it'll be fixed in a few hours. And if its Linux, they tell you to go try Windows. *FACEPALM*

No, you're thinking of ONE product from GENERAL MILLS.
He went to the popular testing site Phishtank and tried the phone out against a bunch of different phishing attempts. He says not one was blocked.

Doesn't Wiretapping require you to use the recording device to record data traveling through wires?
If I carry an old Casette Deck around with me and Record everything on a bus ride - is that considered Wire Tapping?
They need to at least rename the law because I would have thought recording a conversation albeit discreetly would not be considered wire-tapping.

There are 3 Major flaws in this:
Those concerned with what strangers see on Facebook don't put information they don't want strangers to see on Facebook.

Because after the fall of the roman empire, people just seemed to stop bathing and threw their trash into the streets - And no one really knows why.

I've been remoting into my servers for years, because Microsoft Active Directory and some DNS services makes it so easy...
And Microsoft hasn't?
The world gets a little weirder...
woah buddy, chill out.

Not necessarily, I find alot of peope who KNOW they're good at their job will act like they're better than everyone who works below them.

I was afraid they weren't going to patch these kinds of flaws in Vista to push Windows 7. ...
What do you mean some people still prefer XP over Vista? ...
What do you mean XP isn't being patched?
