SonicOS 5.6 adds a new deep packet inspection (DPI) engine for SSL encrypted traffic, which has increasingly become a blind spot in many firewall, content filtering and data leak protection schemes today. Bad guys have begun using encryption technologies against the very security communities that made them popular, using encryption to avoid the HTTPS protocol to bypass filters and expose networks to malware attacks.
Judging by their Razer Megalodon headset, which is a PITA to install on Windows 7 due to a driver issue, I have no real faith this will work as described either. Razer just isn't what it used to be...
This is an honest question, does this give the patent holders control over the future direction of Linux? ie. patent holders have ability to sue for patent infringement if there's something they don't like or it doesn't go the direction they want?
information collected is immediately checked against databases storing information on stolen cars, stolen license plates, wanted persons and unregistered vehicles.
Is anybody aware of their 4th amendment rights or are we just giving it all up to catch The Bad Guys(tm)...
Because Drupal can scale and fit into most development life cycles. There are thousands of modules available so you don't have to re-invent the wheel. Views + CCK is a relatively easy way to build sql queries through a simple UI. Developer tools abound; drush, ctools, integration with firebug, devel, theme developer, etc. Lots of APIs to hook into almost anything Drupal does (node API, forms API, etc), and quick integration with 3rd party systems through services (XMLRPC, JSON, JSON-RPC, REST, SOAP, AMF, etc). Yes, it has a steep learning curve, but unlike Wordpress, Drupal is written for developers, not end users.
Not for those of us who operate a legitimate online business. I couldn't imagine what my customers and clients would say if one day they came to one of my sites and saw a domain seizure image, even if the government did it on accident.
It wouldn't surprise me if we see the majority of ISPs offering music download services within the next 2-3 years. After all, isn't this what the music wants (and can control)?
From my understanding of the article, it seems the crux of the argument between Amazon and RIAA et. al. is the definition of streaming; Amazon will argue users are downloading files from a "cloud" based external hard drive while the music industry will argue that transferring music files from a point of origin to a playback device is streaming.
Was it not encrypted? How long after it was "discovered" missing was it remotely disabled? Were they able to wipe it? Why do you keep this type of data on a personal laptop?
Seriously BP, you guys make a lot of cash, care to tell us how much of this is going into your IT infrastructure to prevent this from happening?
This is more a rant than anything else. Read at your own risk.
I recently ran across a startup called Monvee, they developed an application to "help people discover what is getting in the way of their spiritual growth and then craft a plan to address it". Whatever, not my cup of tea, until I saw the "Patent Pending" at the bottom of the website. Really, you're patenting a way to grow spiritually? A search of the USTPO database found their application, Method and system for virtual mentoring. From TFPA:
The present disclosure is directed generally to a method of and system for virtual mentoring including in one embodiment, an internet based software and computer implemented system to assess, analyze, and provide individualized recommendations to a user to identify a specific attribute or skill to improve and recommend particularized actions and resources that are designed to help the user improve the identified skill.
Not only are there a numberofsystemsthatdothis, but any patent attorney in their right mind would have found all this simply by searching for "corporate mentoring software". Oh and maybe try a search for "cognitive behavioral therapy software", psychologists have been doing the same thing for years.

will take Apple down next.
Apple responded to this issue back in July of 2010. The major fuck up is that the file is not encrypted.

Do they have a plan?
1. Create awesome programming language that kills Java
2. ???
3. Profit
And the fourth possibility: They settle out-of-court for an undisclosed sum, no one finds out if the emails are genuine or not.

doobie evil? I though Zuckerberg was a friend of the peace pipe...
The above link is just to a list of articles. Here's the actual link to the video: http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2011/04/video-navy-laser-sets-ship-on-fire, which demonstrates the frickin laser beam setting an inflatable motorboat on fire a mile away.
You may want to checkout installation profiles, this might be a good fit for you.

Actually, it is leaking, through an 8" crack.
Almost forgot, I don't read /. on April 1st.

I'm sure once they get their hands on this algorithm it'll be turned into a patentable "system and method".

Just not under the name of God.
Eh, my first time being modded as a troll. Such a thin line between "troll" and "funny"...

"If we litigate, we have a chance to win."
Is that really the lines a business should be thinking on to advance and expand business??
Yes, if your business model is dying.
