Did you even read the articles, or did you just click the first link in the summary and call it a day? The one linking specifically to Fox IT's blog, which is the source of this discovery, goes into great detail about this. They specifically mention the following:
This exploit kit exploits vulnerabilities in Java and installs a host of different malware including:
ZeuS Andromeda Dorkbot/Ngrbot Advertisement clicking malware Tinba/Zusy Necurs
For what it's worth, a big reason they changed from making ads in Flash to Java is because
a. People used to complain about Flash, and how slow and insecure it was. b. Flash didn't work very well with mobile phones (or at all for a long time).
Why can't they just continue using the name let the people in EU access the.com site? This very well be a silly question, but I see this kind of thing come up once in a while and I've never been able to figure out the answer. There are no borders in the internet, so is there a reason they have to cater to this? If so, why hasn't some country like China simply done that for whatever US company it suddenly doesn't like or wants to screw over?
The HDR feature is "always on" not the camera itself, in that the camera can snap HDR photos in real-time without the lag of processing the image into HDR ranges right after it's taken.
My guess is they kind of regret having chosen that name...
The USB port is pretty well hidden and secure, which is why the article points out the fact that the thieves appear to be familiar with the machines enough to know where and how to best break that part open. Even the best of security measures won't hold up against an inside job.
This is not at all uncommon, unfortunately. Even sites that let you delete your account, complete with a warning about not being able to recover it later, rarely actually delete it (and often have no issue reactivating it later). The problem is that it's basically up to each site to determine how they store user data, through ToS and EULA's that haven't exactly been found to be legally binding or enforceable. There's also no basic expectation for consumers as a result of the lack of such regulations.
You're only real option is to try and contact whoever owns the site directly, possibly by having your lawyer send a formal request to delete your account (you could probably handle it yourself with some research) and go from there. Companies tend to take notice when lawyers get involved.
The point of the article seemed to be less about who's best at what, and more about how difficult it is to actually determine it. And he's right, in my opinion. The way cloud services are usually priced can make it really difficult to know what your actual cost will be.
They're going to be pirating the software anyway, so claiming MS needs to extend XP support as an anti-piracy measure is laughable. It's bad enough that they are responsible for so much of the spam and virus crap. I'd love to see their government somehow do what it wants, and completely isolate the people from the internet entirely, spam and all.
I think he's talking about building for about $400, then flying that drone close enough to another drone where the wifi magic works, and take control of it that way.
It doesn't really matter what the various drones use. They will get hacked, because they're convenient targets designed to accept remote communications from someone.
Yep. Something tells me that if they were to somehow measure every 15 year old in Asia, including all large majority of those outside of the major cities, their numbers would look like ass.
That's sort of my point though. I can't buy anything with the bitcoins because anything I'd want to purchase online isn't worth the $1k+ value of a single coin. Selling them seems shaky because there's no reputable source that I've seen which doesn't require basically handing over all of your banking information and photo id up front.
How easy is it to exchange bitcoins for actual money? I bought 150 years ago, which is supposedly worth quite a bit at the moment, but the only options I've seen for unloading them seems a bit shady (create an online account somewhere and deposit them...)
With the current exchange rate, they're basically too valuable for use in any kind of actual commodity since I can't pay for anything online with them.
So my question is, what's the real value, and why are the prices going so high? They must be selling somewhere, but what's the process?
Part of the problem is because of how book burning is basically a reaction to the Nazi's practice of it. With that scenario, it wasn't so much that they were burning books that was offensive, but that they were essentially burning pieces of a culture that couldn't be replaced. These days, books are very replaceable. You can go burn a dozen random books at your home without actually having done any cultural harm, thanks to a larger proliferation of the publishing industry over the last 50 years. People might still instinctively balk at your for it, even if they don't understand the real context. Even still, not a lot of people really care anymore, with most considering flag burning to be more offensive.
With ebooks, there's very little at risk of being destroyed since everything is basically just a copy of something else, and easily replaced. Not to mention intangible. Ebooks also lack any sort of personal association, and don't really do much for creating fond memories. I have several books that I read as a child (Dragonlance, for example) which to this day bring back memories by simply picking them up or smelling the musty pages. Even though that particular book isn't culturally significant or irreplaceable, it IS significant to me due to my own personal experiences. I don't think the same could be said if I had first read that book on an eReader or tablet or something.
I think that, if ebooks were priced properly, they'd see more usage on tablets and maybe phones (screens are getting pretty large). But yeah, there is currently no real value in ebooks.
Black Friday represents everything about America that the Terrorists hate, so help fight Terrorism by fighting your neighbors over a $300 TV. And remember to report any suspiciously non-American activity to the proper authorities, such as Fox News.
It's always been Debian for me. I'm grateful for momentum that Ubuntu created, especially in things like wifi drivers, but I've always stuck with Debian (for home, that is).
Kind of depends on the "hardware" we're talking about. For workstations and servers and I just order stuff from Dell without worrying about reviews. I know and trust their specs and support (business support is great). For individual components, like GPU's, I generally stick to tomshardware.com if for no other reason than they seem to be consistently thorough.
In fact, I'd say I almost never bother with reviews at all, for business stuff, because the ones that have reviews (laptops, desktops, etc) are fairly disposable.
Read the law again. Nowhere does it mention your quoted text. The word 'intent' is used twice, once in the summary, and once in section B. In both cases it's used in the context of someone building or installing the hidden compartment, and not the person who happens to be driving the car.
(B) No person shall knowingly design, build, construct, or fabricate a vehicle with a hidden compartment, or modify or alter any portion of a vehicle in order to create or add a hidden compartment, with the intent to facilitate the unlawful concealment or transportation of a controlled substance.

That should be modded insightful, not funny...

Shouldn't the company be going after the porn site that streamed it? Anyone know why a German court would OK this?

That sounds about like my normal CoD support drop...

Only as long as they keep offering discounts tied to that particular Monday.

You should at least attribute your sources, rather than try and pass them off as your own. In this case, http://www.theonion.com/articles/area-man-constantly-mentioning-he-doesnt-own-a-tel,429/
I guess that tells you how long it's been since I bought a TV...
