People like me who, 2.5 years ago, said FU big cable companies and pulled the plug completely. There is plenty to see in full bandwidth HD over the airwaves (as opposed to compressed to hell and back before the cable company send it down my wire). All I miss is ESPN. TNT would be nice during the NBA playoffs. All in all I save $100/month (at least) and still see most NFL games I want.
ESPN should set up local OTA affiliates, I'd pay $10/month. Besides that I won't pay for any television.
The evil in this is the police know there is no merit at all to the charges. The judge knows this also. They have no intention of making fools of themselves by trying to prosecute this. This is a conspiracy of the worst kind... the kind that violates the public trust in them as people who uphold the law.
They are corrupt and want to actually find out who this guy is so they can do what cops do best, make life miserable for the person. The cops, judge, and any other bureaucrat involved should all be held responsible. Unfortunately there is no one policing the police so these kinds of things go unpunished.
To me this should be a felony and these slimy cops and judges should be made an example of.
Article said "released" and "will release shortly". Take your pick I guess?
At the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas Wednesday, Kaminsky released a free software tool for detecting when an Internet service provider (ISP) is artificially slowing down or speeding up traffic to and from a website, a program the well-known security researcher is calling N00ter, or “neutral router.”
Then:
N00ter, a tool that Kaminsky plans to release in coming weeks
30 years ago... was before the heinous effects of Reaganomics had destroyed the middle class and people were more likely to spend the money on top dollar electronics. These days it all about making it cheaper, not better. I still have my Infinity Qb speakers from 1978.
I also still hate Reagan and the ridiculous "trickle down economics" theory that eventually brought this country to it's knees in the fall of 2008.
...but am I the only one who is very hesitant about storing my precious passwords "in the cloud"? I use this gvim gpg plugin to encrypt my passwords, on my own terms, and I make them accessible to myself by any number of ways that I control.
Is this so incredibly difficult to do for most people that they must depend upon others to maintain their personal data?
I use Lastpass but not for "precious passwords". I could care less if they steal all my web forum logins etc. The important ones like online retailers who have personal info, banks, etc. I store in my head.
Most people I know use 123456 or password as their password everywhere then wonder how sh*t happens. If I ever get compromised at a sensitive site it's not because *I* didn't try, it's because I have no control over what happens to my 'net packets after they leave the router. Many sites really make me wonder if they are protecting their data as I would like.
His video depicted him saying sexual remarks to children. Whether or not they were actually there doesn't really matter. In America you can't even post naked pictures online of people you claim are underage, even if they are in fact over 18.
This is one of the early supporters of the "Teabaggers", yes, you know, the ridiculous right wing nut jobs who called themselves "teabaggers"
Another ignorant, sophomoric idiot spouts forth. Great job.
"Tea Partiers" have never referred to themselves as "teabaggers". That tasteless epithet splattered nastily from the various liberal talking heads on TV.
The good news is that the Tea Party folk will have the last laugh in 2012, just as they enjoyed the 2010 crushing of the progressives. I'm amazed how many folk on Slashdot who no doubt consider themselves intelligent have bought in to the unworkable ideas of the Progressive Movement. The size and scope of government is inversely proportional to individual liberty.
Live free or die!
They indeed DID refer to themselves as teabaggers. The rest of the world laughed. They then learned what it meant to today's internet culture, then they tried to rewrite history.
Like you are now.
If they only could get spellcheckers for the ridiculous signs. BTW, why are all the teabaggers so fat? Is this a symptom of "Live free or Die"? How fat are you?
This is one of the early supporters of the "Teabaggers", yes, you know, the ridiculous right wing nut jobs who called themselves "teabaggers" until one of their kids showed them urbandictionary.com and they realized it meant laying your testicles on a passed out person's face and snapping pics.
Whoever the fools are that designed the security system that lets tons of top-secret documents be easily purloined are the ones that should end up in Guantanamo.
what can a normal user do against these smart asses?
Here's an idea. Get a Linux based router (I have a Linksys with DD-WRT) and use it to muck with any connections coming from his MAC address. You could block all his Bittorrent connections and redirect his HTTP connections somewhere else (such as a rickroll or goatse). Do this long enough to annoy the heck out of him and then block him completely using a higher grade encryption (such as WPA2) and/or MAC filtering.
Look what we're doing to ourselves... We've done more damage to our country than the terrorists ever could have hoped to do directly...
We proved it.. Terrorisim works! And works fuckin awesome too! Not directly.. But the whole country losing its fucking mind, wasting BILLIONS, is sure a huge victory for the terrorists.
Way to go my fellow sheeple americans. Fuckin ijits.
You are 100% correct unfortunately. Meanwhile, the 90 IQ TSA screeners all have secure jobs while the rest of us watch the entire economy implode.

no link to the actual tool?!? wtf

Netflix is likely getting hammered by the IP owners who have the crazy idea that their reruns of The Munsters are worth much more than reality.
Yes, Netflix is giving us a HUGE increase and nothing in return. So are the owners of the content. Much more so IMO.
... my Quakeworld and Quake 3 Painkeep servers still chug along after 13 years.
This isn't going to end well.

I put tape over my work laptop's webcam. A little paranoid... perhaps... but it makes me feel better.
Might consider the mic also...
The land of the free and the home of the people that are just like me.
If you aren't just like me we will legislate against you since we can't discriminate anymore.

Yes. This is known as "crimethink".
They need to also by default show file extensions in explorer.

MAC filtering? SERIOUSLY?
That is just so wrong.
There are thousands of 2k4 players on every day right now to a couple hundred UT3 players.
I just looked, 150 players tops playing UT2k4.
What is the point of "calling the police" over a civil issue?
Should the IP owners be calling their lawyers instead?
I'd STILL be cheering after all these years...

I'm not making plans to visit America anytime soon if that's how they're going to treat me.
Yea, that'll show 'em.
I'm confused, but confess I havent used DOSBox in years.
The 3dfx cards were for windows only, they didnt have DOS drivers.
What am I missing here?
Now 3DFX emulation in Virtualbox running Win98 would be cool...
Deadwood on HBO a few years ago literally made cussing an art form.
A must hear for all the cuss-word aficionados out there.
Translation: One you are born and do ANYTHING to interfere with the United Corporations of Amerika you have no expectation of privacy.
Newegg, Amazon, any online reseller has reviews for each item where in some cases I'd guess 50% of them are fake.
At least on Amazon you can reply to a comment and challenge the person's authenticity.
I wouldn't see a reason why game reviews would be any different.
Of course copyright law isn't working.
Traveling to other galaxies will never work either even if we enact laws to make it so.
These guys just don't get it. There will always be people who steal intellectual property and there will always be people who pay.
Why waste so much time and effort fighting a losing battle?
