What? I'm pretty sure the Russian mob (one of the most notorious black-hat hacking gangs in the world) would have half of Anon sobbing into their mothers' skirts within about 10 minutes if they ever got challenged by those hacker wannabes.
Excuse me? Just because YOU don't use OtherOS doesn't mean nobody else has a right to use it.
This is akin to GM disabling your onStar (an advertised service) until you go in for a "tune-up" that disables your 4WD. Sure, 95% of people never use the 4WD, but it's still a blatant Bait & Switch.
This attack could have been EASILY avoided using 1 simple system: PGP digital signing.
Give every government address a PGP key and set up a government public key repository. Any company doing work with the government has no excuse for not being able to do the same.
You then set up the email servers to block any email with attachments that isn't signed by a trusted key.
PGP signing (and even encryption in most cases) is so pathetically easy to set up, the fact that governments don't MANDATE it for internal use (and even external use for anything other than simple civilian inquiries) is absolutely unforgivable.
You know they have this really cool thing now-a-days called "local news" You can usually find it on the television, in the newspaper or if you're REALLY lucky on a local news network's website.
So how do online merchants know you agreed? For that matter, the fact that the bank GAVE you your card (after signing papers in bank band) in the first place should be proof enough!
So the signature you use to sign the contract when you sign up for the card in the first place, what the HELL is that for then?!? I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying it's pretty stupid for them to make you sign the card AFTER they've given it to you. Especially when that card can be used online without them checking the signature...
I've never seen a website (or much of anything to be honest) only implement the encryption part of SSL and not the signing part. In fact, the opposite (signing only) is more common. For websites that have SSL it's 99% encryption+signing. For email (those that even bother), it's 99% just signing.
BWAHAHA. You actually think they are going to remove a non-itemized cost from you bill just because they aren't paying their end of it anymore? Remember, these are the same asshats that are demanding UBB be put in place or they'll "go out of business".
It's because of suckers like you that it is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to find plans that DON'T have the cost of the phone (whether you get one from them or not) built into the plan.
You mean the EULA that by Canadian law (not sure about elsewhere) has been defeated on it's own ground of "implying a restriction AFTER the time of contract (sale)".
I remember playing halo on the PC. I searched every setting I could possibly locate and yet could not figure out how to dissable the bloody auto-aim. Sure on a console it's useful (aiming with a joystick is a joke!), but it seriously destroys the entire game on the PC.
I'm running down a hallway and see an enemy (who hasn't spotted me yet) about 2/3 hidden by a wall, so I aim at his arm at fire a precision weapon (not the needler or anything) and guess what? The game goes "Oh, you are shooting at enemy FOO, let me just 'fix' your aim a little and make the bullet hit him in the chest". Now this MAY have helped had his chest not been BEHIND THE BLOODY WALL! Instead I am forced to flank around him until the CENTER of his body is visible and THEN shoot.
Played through it once and went "screw this". Haven't touch any halo games ever since. The REALLY sad part is that halo was originally going to be a PC game before Microsoft (ironically a PC Operating System developer) decided to make it "console playable".
Ah, my mistake. The hour part ended up wrapped to the next line so I guess I skimmed it.
Does anyone out there know why ISP's charge you 3 times as much for upload as download? I'm sure it doesn't cost them 3 times as much to implement it. Is it just another cash grab?
By definition, someone "pretending" to be an endpoint STILL isn't an endpoint. I can pretend to a tree all I like, but I'm never going to become 100 feet tall...
The only reason people throttle their upload to.5Mb/s is because that's all the ISP's will give you unless you pay 4x as much for a "dedicated" line. With a mesh network, that problem wouldn't exist.

Not if they don't ignore history and avoid the causes of becoming a subway-loitering sandwich-board wearer.
Dammit, now I'm hungry!
parent directory is ../ (or just ..)
/.. would be the parent directory of ROOT. so direct access to god?

What? No. I'm saying using untainted regular QT is better.

The only thing that makes Linux usable is the fact that Microsoft hasn't crippled it yet.
FTFY
But if Microsoft's incompatible QT.net were to be official and recommended and supported up there with C#. It would be a nightmare.
We all know Microsoft doesn't like cross-platform.

Exactly, in the eyes of the legal system you cannot punish them as a boss, you must address it as if it were your neighborhood posting those things.
Try switching a linux computer to windows, you'll be cursing at both the OS *and* the drivers!
Yeah, the REALLY funny part is they are pushing their OWN games onto consoles...
So it is just a premium then, that's what I figured all along.

I humbly stand correctly.

You sentences are mutually exclusive. A MITM *is* someone "other than the endpoints"!
