If you haven't seen DS9 yet, don't. It's by far the worst Star Trek series. And trust me, I've seen them all.
Meh I wouldn't say that. DS9 isn't THAT bad. Takes a bit of getting used to, and sometimes you feel like wanting to stop hearing Bashir's annoying accent, but otherwise its not that bad. Its just.. different.
Sure the graphics are rubbish - and it looks very low budget (especially in the beginning), but the storylines are much nicer, and Kirk punches tons of people in the face.
Malta. Eventually we used a microwave transmitter to get very bad connectivity to Sicilia, and now we have a redundancy of another cable around 30 km away.
Can't find the news article, a search has found tons of events when the cable was damaged. You'd think we'd have learnt better by now.
Android has a list of 'permissions' which you must give an application access to before it can use them. Unfortuantly its an 'all or nothing', sort of thing, so you either accept them all and install it, or deny them all and don't install it.
It does not give the designers 'free reign' to whatever they want. So if you accepted that an app gets access to logs, to your location, to your phone ID, then its your fault and you only have yourself to blame. Granted, its a legit app, if it was a virus that's different.
I love how this suggestion pops up every single time a huge company does a bad thing. The free market wasn't designed to work with giant companies. It was meant to work with "Pa and Ma's Grocery Store" - you get the whole village to boycott it, it goes out of buisiness. When billions of dollars go across a company each year, a handful of people boycotting it won't do anything.
Its for times like this when you need to rely on the government everyone's* been trying to kick out for the past few years.
The problem is that while this is true - companies are still making a ton of money. Its not like they've collapsed or something.
What the companies should do is adapt by giving 'bonuses' that other things don't. Cinemas are still popular around here, because you get to see things on a giant screen with surround sound, which is an experience most people don't get.
They should offer more incentive to get the music/film legally. Less stick, more carrot.
I have yet to see an advertisement which does not look rubbish:
"Windows 7 Parties" "Congrats X, its a PC" Microsoft Songsmith The Kin advertisements
And they're marred by the previously-earned reputation that they produce low quality and insecure software - that hasn't been true for for ages, but there's still that impression - you go to a apple store and they pawn off a mac to you because its 'more secure' and has 'less viruses', and by having one you'll be cooler than all those other sheep who use Windoze.
Its making apple products look 'cool' and special - in part because of their price, and in part because of their 'magical exclusivity'. The dedicated apple stores do help. But not because of the profit margins.
If apple were to sell a brick, they would sell much more than a normal brick, because of the 'prestige' that buying an apple product brings.
What I found however is that since I've been using firefox for years now, the plugins which are from the time when every site needed a video plugin, are still there. Go to about:addons, find the plugins tab and rip out anything which you don't need. Do the same for the addons. When you've removed the junk, then see if the leak is still there.
I leave FF on constantly, and I hibernate my computer, such that in certain times it'd have been running for more than 50 hours - no leaks either.
Well its something people use. I'm pretty sure adding new sites will be as simple as adding search engines to the bar.
The amount of people who use those services is large enough that this integration will be seen as a good thing by many, and if you're not interested - turn it off.
I am assuming the worst case scenario, in which an attacker has copied the passwords and usernames from the database server, and is trying to break the hash.
if there are 3 tries, then there's absolutely no point in putting the CAPTCHA thing suggested by the article, since it'll be a human trying them out.
There are [Dictionary]^[PasswordLength] possible combinations.
If I write an 8 character password with the keys I can see on my keyboard at the moment, you get - 6,095,689,385,410,816 permutations.
Using my 'very quick' calculations which are more than probably not very accurate- if using a 3.5 GHz processor which can hash and check each password in a single cycle (which is a very funny proposition indeed) - it'll take you 20 days. If the system upgrades to a 9 character password, that increases the choices and time by a factor of the Dictionary size, which is a bit less than 100.
"The use of opaqueness of tree-derived substances in 3 dimensional space in order to secure against password disclosure through movement of waverforms through translucent media".
So if someone steals the password list off a server and wants to steal the admin passwords, all he has to do is to read the captcha himself, work it out (being a human and all that), then try to break the hash by adding the 'captcha answer' to the end of the string.
Sure it might make it harder for someone to try to steal passwords from a large list, but if you're only targetting admin (or specific ones) it'll actually make things less secure. You tell people they only need to remember half the password and the rest is "uberencrypted" and their half will be easy to remember stuff you can dictionary attack.
Anyways, as said before, there's plenty of guides (including by the NSA) on how to not suffer cross-scripting attacks. That anyone still suffers from them is not through a lack of resources.
SQL injections and XSS attacks aren't necessarily related.
XSS attacks require you to push the parameters in the URL itself. If an attacker modifies the SQL, they don't need to change anything, you just visit the site, and they'd change it 'server side' instead. So its much more dangerous, and there's no real way for the user to avoid it - except of course turning off scripts I would assume. And being careful about links.

And nothing of value was lost.

I saw TNG before seeing TOS.

That's the reason. You don't need to be an expert to make up your own interpretation of some literary works.
Of course it does. What's to stop people waiting 50 years then getting my cds for free eh?
Protect the artists' rights!
Protect Sarcasm!
That's just horrible.
Its easy nowadays - "You use Firefox 3.6 or 4.0" ?
I'm NOT remembering a string of numbers.
If they want large numbers, maybe they should take a tip from ubuntu.
You could get "Firefox 11.6" out in 5 months. See? Big number.

Around last year an anchor cut the only undersea connecting cable which connected where I live to the rest of the world.
The country spent half a week without internet. Sometimes you can't really afford redundancy.
Clearly its a mispelling of "America"

Never tried visiting /. in lynx?
Wake me up when a government says the same thing.

With all the trouble needed to make this, wouldn't a human farm be cheaper?
To be honest, Microsoft's marketting is crap.
I have yet to see an advertisement which does not look rubbish:
"Windows 7 Parties"
"Congrats X, its a PC"
Microsoft Songsmith
The Kin advertisements

The secret weapon is obvious -

I don't really have any leaks to be honest.

Standard bruteforce was valid?

If we take videos of people patting themselves down, and sell them on the internet, could we subsidize air travel prices?
