It's a network printer and yes, I was amazed at how rediculously insecure it was as well. Even if they DID sign it, and I'm certain they don't, all it takes is for HP to release 1 buggy version, which would be signed, for someone to screw up a printer. BTW, you can also print (and update the firmware) over an unprotected FTP port which is enabled by default.
In other words, thou shalt firewall thine printers!
We have a friend that works for HP, so we got him as our rep for maintaining our business line computer. We were having an issue and he decided the best thing would be to update the firmware (it was fairly out of date). That was when we both realized he had no idea how to do it from a non-windows computer. Turns out all you have to do to "reimage" an hp printer is *litterally* print the firmware file from any computer!
The CVV number is an attempt to further ensure that the card possessor is the authorized user.
Seeing as the number is printed on the back of the card, the only thing that number really does is ensure that the "user" has both sides of the card...
That is why if you want to make sure your messages are secure, you write them down on a piece of paper, put them into an envelope, and drop it into a random mailbox. Of course to be sure it never arrives, you also have to encrypt the senders and receivers address on the outside of the envelope.
And before Google bought them out, the eyeballs were STILL their product, not their revenue. Think of it like a dollar store buying millions of toys before selling their building and accumulated products to DollarGiant. They just bought their products with "free services" instead of cash.
YouTube does not consider those eyeballs to be it's revenue, it sells and uses that information to get revenue through advertising. YouTube is not an entity all on its own, it's part of a much larger business model.
Here's a reverse example from real life. A company specializing in handling large amounts of cash for major retail businesses was located in a fortified industrial building they shared with a package distributor. Their own part had impenetrable steel doors, thick walls etc. but some very clever thieves knew that the wall inside the building between the two companies was not reinforced. So one day they smashed through the gate to the package distributor, through the gate to the inside of the building and on through the wall to the money company. There they helped themselves to everything and made away with many millions. The thieves have since been caught but the money is gone...
The morale of the above story is that even the most professional people will leave gaps in the security, and if you really want to enter there's always a way. Maybe you need to crash through the living room wall or down through the roof - but there is a way.
Yes hindsight is always 20/20, but whoever didn't draw a top-down map with the fortified walls hilighted and notice half of the entire bloody building was unprotected was a fucking idiot.
Riiiight, because some script kiddy in Lebanon is going to travel to a foreign country to go to court against a company who's computers he just attacked.....
When a player with an unmodded console joins a Borderlands 2 multiplayer game in which there is a character running in badass mode it too gets kicked into that mode.
This has NOTHING to do with moded servers, only moded players playing with non-modded players.
That's hardly an FPS. It's completely rail based (you can't control the walking at ALL). All it does is move you around as you aim within a 60 degree cone and tap the fire button. I've seen flash shooter with more complexity than that, but I guess iphone users wouldn't know about that....
Oh of course. I was just pointing out how HTTPS alone only obscures part of your online activities. The same can be said about using TOR without HTTPS.
In other words, this legalizes trespass for police. Regardless if you believe the decision of curtilage is just or not, there's no other way to say it than, police now have carte blanc to trespass at will, so long as its not protected via curtilage.
Like Charlie Sheen trying to get past a picket fence locked from the other side!
Umm, they do what any regulation-enforcing government body does and simply denies the company the right to do business in the country. Pretty simple actually....
It's also common on consoles and is one of the reasons they spend so many resources locking them down. Some PHB a long time ago decided that if the client is locked down, they can trust the data coming from it. Apparently IT forgot to tell said PHB that there is no such thing as a locked down consumer product or that devices can be spoofed!
I think it would be hillarious if gamers starting building linux machines because they get an extra 5fps and doing everything else in windows (as dual-boot or a separate machine).
The biggest resource sink for high end games is graphics (audio is fairly low-demand). With Steam using OpenGL, it should be pretty easy for a company that size to keep both platforms on a more or less equal footing (barring driver issues).

Shaw does.
They do, given enough time.
So tell me, which government agency is enforcing Microsoft's monopoly?

Are you sure it actually needs it? I use my M550 and Performance MX daily in Linux and never had to install a thing.
I would hope with OpenOffice being open source that they would release the server side part as well.

Good grief, the 404 is broken!!!

So who's job was it to mail in all the OCZ rebate forms?

Because standardized aspect ratios are generally a good thing.
Why? Other than watching videos, aspect aspect ratio should never be worried about when designing software or content.

There are TONS of these companies in BC. Roboot, FreeGeek, etc. If any of those organizations can't use that much ram, they'll know who can!
