I agree with you 100% but it has become much less used in the recent years as I have been using Chrome. It seems the minimized always on top interface that worked to well for XP doesn't quite feel the same for Win7 + Chrome. I would love to hear if anyone has any suggestions for me to fix this
Will that work though? I understand your point, as the blockchain isn't updated, but you are still using their wallet and their mathematics, I somehow doubt they'd allow you to double spend their money. I don't think you can have an offline backup of their online wallet for this reason, but I might just be speaking out of my ass.
Many people share your attitude towards computing. My grand parents didn't need a computer or a cell phone because they got by their whole lives without them. This is nothing different.
Intel launches a computer the size of an SD card, that is as fast as the AMD desktop I was running in 1999. This is amazing, and your only argument is that you don't want your toasted thinking for you. You need to get outside of the box man, thinking about what things can't or shouldn't do instead of what they could potential do is what will lead to a life of mediocrity.
>If your hosts are sensibly configured, then a firewall only serves to prevent external users from sending traffic to closed ports on your server.
I had a real LOL at this.
What about virus protection? What about identifying an infected client and blocking communication with command and control servers? What about web browsing policy, and blocking L7 traffic on known good ports (Think SSH Tunnel on port 443)?
While I completely understand your arguments when talking about Layer 3 firewalls, this is not what we are talking about. These Palo Alto firewalls have ASIC's that scan for virus definitions on dedicated hardware in real time. This is just one of their many features. While a firewall is no replacement for a properly configured server, acting like firewalls have no use is laughable.
Hey look, this anonymous guy on the internet says that Palo Alto doesn't know what they are doing based on something he read on the internet. Can't argue that...
I know you are posting as Anonymous, so chances are you will not read this. I am just curious where you get this idea of dodgy network compatibility?
I also have a hard time believing that in 20 years of administration, you don't see the good side of firewall appliances. I too am a BSD administrator, running countless pf, ipfw, ipfilter, iptables systems. Just because you like and/or use one thing doesn't mean it is the be all end all of the networking world. If you knew anything about these Palo Alto firewalls, you would know the benefits to using them over BSD. I have nothing against BSD firewalls, but you simply cannot compare the two. The PA firewall has customer silicon that processes layer7 data in real time. I have seen L7 filtering with pf and relayd, but come on now, it is not what pf was meant to do. I am sure you can add customer chips to a BSD box and get something similar, hell I wouldn't be surprised if the PA is based off some sort of the OS.
I just don't see the point in dismissing what many would argue as 'state of the art' firewalls as being obsolete because you can do the same with open source. There is a reason why people choose VMWare licensing over running purely KVM/BHyve... By the time you factor in enough staff to get the open source platform working, paying workers comp, unemployment, and benefits...you might be better off licensing a turn-key product.
I'm not in favor of one or the other, but rather use the right tool for the job.
So you think each internal device should be responsible for its own access control on the network?
You want the application server to implement layer 7 filtering? What about ASIC's? Are you adding custom silicon to your application servers so they can filter at high speeds? Are you going with a hardware loadbalancer?
Your arguments don't make sense in the real world.
If I am not mistaken, Snowden did not have clearance to access these documents...making your point moot. He used stolen credentials to access the documents, credentials he was able to get due to his role as a sysadmin.
Because that is what they do. They build professional workstations, and ipods. I don't think their target audience is going to be editing 4K film or mixing down a record via their web browser.
This made me laugh. Declare bitcoin legal tender for all debts? hahahaha. Come on, really? You really think the guy serving hot dogs on the street corner should be required by law to accept bitcoins?
I think you are making a lot of assumptions here.
Now, I will make my own now. He did bounce his connection, and that is why they needed to use a trojan aimed at his account. I doubt it took the FBI that long to track someone who was not trying to hide.
I have a hard time believing that you refuse to do a few minutes worth of research to claim over $150,000. If you did, you'd know that there are places that will make deposits into your bank account fairly easily. There may be delays involved, but it can be done. You should be doing your own homework when it comes to this stuff, asking strangers will result in your wallet becoming one of these statistics.
It is nice of you to speak for the community, but I am a little curious as to where you developed this opinion? Sites like this are echo chambers for anti-anything speech, and it doesn't necessarily represent everyone's view equally.
While $350 isn't 'cheap' it may well be considered a 'decent price' depending on what you are looking for. It is certainly cheaper than any other similar spec'd phone.
I guess the mistake was giving him a security clearance. While what he exposed may help change policy for the better, and while many people hold him in high regard for what he did...the fact still remains he violated state security by revealing classified documents. I cannot say what he did was morally wrong, but I am sure most of what the government does is 'illegal' -- there is no way anyone really thought this wasn't happening, and the result of this doesn't seem to have too many people up in arms. Not that it wasn't morally justified, but none of the military industrial complex is moral IMO.
While he may be a martyr, he probably deserves the legal consequences. Don't get into that line of work if you don't have the stomach for it, cause it will happen whether you like it or not unfortunately.

It seems like AOL did let it die. I am glad someone is picking this up, too much history to go the way of the dodo

I'm no sucker. I only buy coins named after celebrities.

Patriot Patch, I'v never laughed so hard at a comment on the internet.

Why would they try to say he dos'd em? I thought the whole breaking and entering, and theft was enough.

They offered him a deal already, no criminal charges, annual pay with benefits, and some lovely living in Hawaii.

As far as we're concerned!
Wouldn't the headset cost the same regardless of whether you use console or pc?
