How about you don't use their crappy operating system? There are people out there smart enough to port a forced OS like a hand held to something else and have done it even when the manufacturer has tried to make it impossible to do so. So why stop there? When you buy something it is yours. You are free to do with it as you will. This is mainly from a court decision that clarified the difference between licensing a product and buying it. Since their control comes from the software don't use their software....
How about a BIG yes to that one. The supreme court has ruled that although not mentioned superficially it is inferred in the constitution and is protected by the constitution. Like the right to protection from unreasonable search and seizure. The courts have ruled the Americans do have the right to privacy. Next?
Ever spent any time looking at a dictionary? Most languages are influenced by other cultures. English is a composite of Gallic, German, Spanish and others. The languages around it influence every language. It has just been regional until now. Now what will be interesting is to see how the Internet will change this.
At a guess they are not covering the correct networks? I have see one or two with high amounts of traffic. Of cource you could try www.earthstation5,com The RIAA can't find you and it is free.
The point of the parent was not that the Internet is not 100% secure. Ever heard of the following project?? Some good coders that got board⦠Care to imagine that would happen to your daily life and work if the Internet dissolved into chaos for a week or so? This kind of thought would make the worms and such that we have seen till now the kids toys they are.
Over year ago, with couple of friends, we started writing a project, called 'Samhain' (days ago, on packetstorm, I noticed cute program with same name - in fact it's not the same app, just a coincidence;). We wanted to see if it's difficult to write deadly harmful Internet worm, probably much more dangerous than Morris's worm. Our goals:
1: Portability - worm must be architecture-independent, and should work on
different operating systems (in fact, we focused on Unix/Unix-alikes, but
developed even DOS/Win code).
2: Invisibility - worm must implement stealth/masquerading techniques to hide
itself in live system and stay undetected as long as it's possible.
3: Independence - worm must be able to spread autonomically, with no user
interaction, using built-in exploit database.
4: Learning - worm should be able to learn new exploits and techniques
instantly; by launching one instance of updated worm, all other worms,
using special communication channels (wormnet), should download updated
version.
5: Integrity - single worms and wormnet structure should be really difficult
to trace and modify/intrude/kill (encryption, signing).
6: Polymorphism - worm should be fully polymorphic, with no constant
portion of (specific) code, to avoid detection.
7: Usability - worm should be able to realize chosen mission objectives -
eg. infect chosen system, then download instructions, and, when
mission is completed, simply disappear from all systems.
Well maintained routers do that. A responsible network engineer will set three âoegood neighborâ rules into his border routers
1. No packet is allowed out that is not from an internal IP 2. No packet is allowed in that is marked from an internal IP address. 3. All packets with non-routable IPâ(TM)s are dropped And the following can be considered a good idea. 4. Log any packets that violate the above rules.
However convincing a company that it is necessary to be a good neighbor is another thing altogether. Convincing them that spending time and money to do so can be a uphill battle at best. It is easy to understand when some NE just gives up trying.
Actually there is a lot more to it. It is D&D (role playing) and a chat room and team reinforcement (Clans).People do a lot more then play the games thus it means more to them.And you can be someone in the game even if you are not in real life. I would define âoehard coreâ as someone outside best buy the morning a new game is released. An âoeaddictâ (to me at least) sticks with the same game even when more sophisticated one comes out.
Same here, I am a proud American. Mainly I ignore conversations like this but I am going to chime in here. I do believe there is more freedoms here then anywhere else. But morally??? WTF do morals have to do with it ? The only institutions I mistrust more then governments are organized religions. Yes America has it's problems but show me a country that doesn't. Dude morals got shit to do with what makes this country great. Learn about mind police before you go spouting shit about morals... And that ladies and gentlemen is a prime example of things we still are working on.
Ok credit where it is due and as soon as MS puts out some secure product I will give them full credit. I am not talking something like the speed or response from open source when it comes to bugs but personally until I see things like Shatter fixed it is just PR. Nothing more I don't hate MS actually. Hate would include WAY to much emotion. They have had several ideas that had merit. Take the security hole ridden (!) front page. Now someone who doesn't have the time or interest to learn html can make a web page for their family or what ever. The basic idea is a good one, and then they have to go and break the standards to try to embrace and extend it and basically render it useless. No one will use the extensions now because not even MS claims it can be secured. MS can come up with a original idea now and again but by the time it makes it to the consumer it has been twisted by the embrace and extend idea that is has been reduced to an abortion. That mentality pervades the companies products to such a great degree that anything that they put out becomes a liability instead of something to be proud of. I hope the new team will improve things however I don't think I have to guess what will happen if there needs to be a choice made between embrace and extend and software quality.
God the lawsuits from that one stagger the mind. Can you imagine you have a company with 5000 employees with a 1.5 computers to human ratio. One morning ALL your data is gone. Imagines the lawyers licking their chops now.
Ok I just got to ask so what is so hard about telling my router to drop all traffic to the target IP/domain? Unless the thing disables the computer unless it calls home to momma every so often ala Mi$ product ID they are just not going to hear for any I end up with on my network
It's worth noting that I've never seen an episode of "Cops: A night of police screw ups."
They just stopped playing it. They arrested a home brewer and confiscated two patches of beer in the fermenter and some hop plants (used to make beer bitter) This is a legal hobby in most states. The cops were entirely to aggressive and the guy was smart kept his mouth shut it played several times on Fox. That guy is probably set for life now. The last clip really killed me. The cop is walking out of the holding a glass fermenter with am airlock on the top saying "he could have made someone go blind with this stuff."
"As long as you don't make waves, they'll leave you alone. There will not be a time like 1984, get used to it."
Do you realize the deep irony of that statement? The only reason you had to look out in 1984 was if you made waves.
On second thought your right it is all ready here.

You know I am aware that you were not asking me but I had to chime in here. I used to live in a really bad area, in one year on my block alone there were 3 homicides, 6 home invasions, at least 10 non-homicide shootings. When we moved into the area we went shooting with all the guns we owned. And then spent a casual afternoon cleaning them on the front porch. The cops got a couple of freaked out calls from the homes around us, but could easily see when they drove by that we had them broken down and were cleaning them. No one ever bothered us, no break-ins, no one trying to take toys from my son nothing. Considering the odds in that area I would say it was unusual that we had no trouble.
Personal files are also the easiest to backup. You are backing up your files right? Then why would you care what happens to the copy on your computer? Oh you mean that you want the system to back up your files for you with no effort on your part. It can do that, it just has to be told to.
Heh That would be Interstate 76 From the game car wars. (Grins fondly) They really tick you off switch to missle or Anti-Tank and have at it. Damn I wasted a lot of time on that game
