    I know this may sound Anti-US but im trying not to be biased and just debate your facts.

    which together make up the majority of UN members. What could possibly go wrong!

    how can what the minority do be considered the 'norm'?

    Israel is a small desert state of no particular significance

    Really??? Then why is the US in bed with a small desert state of no particular significance?

    Arab nations like to use it to distract their citizens from the miserable state of their own economies

    yes because the US' economy is the best in the world.... yeah and honestly im sure it can be argued that the US caused the recent WORLDWIDE economic crisis when they invaded Iraq and caused oil prices to spike to astronomical levels. All the while Arab nations still continued to build spacescrapers (my next level up from skyscrapers lol).

    Having said that, I think the US should get out of the Middle East. The Europeans created that mess, let them fix it or live with the consequences

  11. Re:EA sells you an advantage... on Why Microtransactions In Games Are Amoral · · Score: 1

    yup same thing here i dont play since they started selling improved weapons. I also remember clearly (while still in early beta) that they promised not to let people who pay have an advantage over free players; which i thought was cool.So i could understand paying for apparel and clothing accessories and even exp boosts.

    The same problem exists with Need For Speed World now... free players are being shafted where the paid for content is by far superior to the in-game-cash cars. The least they can do is also offer a rediculously high in-game-cash price for the good cars/parts.

    from his PDF:

    "Bitcoin transactions are virtually anonymous, and untraceable."

    4 lines later:

    "a public list of all previous transactions is collectively maintained by the members (peers) on the network."

    i guess it should be expected from someone trying to do something like this.

  16. Re:Dionaea or Nepenthes on Ask Slashdot: FTP Server Honeypots? · · Score: 1

    ok im not an expert onthis specific topic but do these bots generally try to redownload the files they uploaded? if not, you can just point the upload directory to /dev/null. In my opinion if it's a honeypot, then just the fact that they have connected or tried to means they are malicious or shouldn't be on your servers anyway.

  17. Re:SFTP. It's 2011. on Ask Slashdot: FTP Server Honeypots? · · Score: 2

    Sorry but as far as i remember Filezilla server does not do SFTP only FTPS(implicit and explicit) as secure connections.

    Although the end result is the same the process is different. Its like watering your garden with a supermodel, you can fill a watering can or use your hose but the end result is the same... your pants will be wet.

  18. Re:Looking back now, it was a terrible mistake on Journey To the Mantle of the Earth By 2020 · · Score: 1

    the definition of a volcano when i was at school was a hole in the earth's crust through which magma rises. everything else are just features.
    So in my book, drilling a hole in the crust would almost certainly (almost because it hasnt been done yet) release pressure and cause magma to rise to the surface. And there you gave birth to a volcano.

    Gun makers know that their products will be used to kill people. Should we arrest them for every murder that takes place?
    Reverse-Engineering is also not illegal

    And to the reply to the car analogy above: the cops will only go after the guy that makes his car "not street legal" if well he drives it on the street. same way Sony should not be allowed to go after this guy if he is not on Sony's "street" i.e PSN.
    Also in the same way if youmodufy your car it loses value, void warranty etc. if you hack your hardware you should only expect to lose warranty, access (in this case PSN), manufacturer support etc.
