Ask yourself what would happen if a keep-alive connection was thought to be open by the client, but the server had already closed it (perhaps if the FIN from the server hadn't arrived yet).
At least, the blog article is inadequate evidence to indicate that that's what's happening, since the article fails to rule out the possibility of an HTTP keep-alive session. And every person who's actually tried doing a packet trace has failed to reproduce the article's asserted sequence.
that the packet logs referred to in the original article are occurring on the initial request. The blog article doesn't mention anything about HTTP keep-alive, so if they indeed did not know about the feature, they might not have realized that it was possible that the connection had been left open.
I would like to see someone confirm this article with a packet log of their own (or perhaps a follow-up from the original blogger indicating that they had ruled out HTTP keep-alives) before I believe it.
I guess we're talking about different things. You see, Microsoft doesn't want to rely on Windows and Office forever. So they get into other markets, like server operating systems, mobile devices (PDAs, phones, and so forth), X-Box, etc.
Note that in none of those areas do they have a monopoly - and not only that, but there's no immediate prospect of them getting a monopoly in those areas any time soon, as the desktop monopoly doesn't really lend itself well to leveraging Microsoft into non-desktop markets.
If you're only talking about Microsoft's efforts to preserve their existing desktop monopolies, I don't really have much to say to that. Except to note that there's no danger of Microsoft "winning the game" anytime soon. (Why do you even mention internet service, by the way? MSN isn't anywhere near AOL in terms of revenue or subscribers, much less being a monopoly.)
The problem is that Microsoft already has a lot of money and their fingers in a lot of pies. To those who measure their success by wealth, Microsoft is indeed very successful. So, WHY should they need to keep trying to get more... and more... and MORE? What is the end goal OTHER than a monopoly?
Actually, the end goal is diversification - that is to say, not having all their eggs in one basket (well, two baskets, Office and Windows).
As far as I know, fansubs are still illegal, even if the anime in question is not licensed in the US. In practice, however, no one generally goes after them, for various reasons, not the least of which is probably the fact that fansubbers traditionally cease distribution of a title as soon as it's licensed, not so much out of fear of liability so much as realizing that commercial growth of anime in the US is a good thing.
when Down acquired Union Carbide, they acquired all of Union Carbide's unmet responsibilities. Trying to keep the assets of Union Carbide and ignore the liabilities is grossly irresponsible - that is to say, typical corporate behavior.
With a/. id below 10,000 I assume you must have some technical skills, and I'd strongly recommend you relocate to a country that does not permit its police to indiscriminately execute its citizens.
No worse than taking economic advice from a bunch of random people posting messages to a web-board...
And other posters have mentioned his reasonably impressive credentials (speechwriter for Nixon isn't any small potatoes... admittedly, it does signify a certain bias, but hell, who isn't biased?).
Word's problem is worse - it doesn't use the correct Unicode code point for right-single-quote (and double quotes as well). Instead, it uses a high-ASCII code point that isn't used for anything else in any real character set, causing the "dumb-quote syndrome" you see when viewing such text on non-Microsoft operating systems.
I don't think you were reading closely. It sounded to me like Dillon2112 was claiming that all that information is available within the rules of the game, if you have the right character class at a high enough level.
Of course, I never played EverQuest, so I couldn't say myself.
On question 3, the answer may actually be "yes". Or rather, not stealing but "unauthorized public performance", depending on how many friends you invite over. Of course, since I assume you're not charging them, you've got some leeway - if you were charging anyone to come over and watch your DVD, you'd be up a creek. (Obligatory IANAL applies, of course.)
I read articles like that, and I also read articles attempting to debunk said articles, and then again other articles claiming that the celebration videos were genuine but that the celebrating crowds hadn't heard about the WTC attacks and that the celebration was for some other event.
Personally, I'm taking the whole thing with a grain of salt.
To express the concern from killraven and the AC somewhat less harshly, the mere fact that advertising represents roughly 50% of an auto company's budget doesn't mean that if they all just drop advertising the price would drop by half - because there is an opportunity cost to not advertising.
If you're trying to create a secure service that works on OpenWave WAP phones, most of the gateways only have a limited selection of allowed root CAs, and don't provide any way for a phone user to accept other certificates. This makes a certain degree of sense, since the limited screen size of a WAP phone would make it prohibitive to inspect a certificate. But the upshot is that you can't use an SSL service from a phone using a self-signed cert.
Why can't Fritz Hollings and Ashcroft both be scum? Do you really think all Democrat voters think the Reuplicans have a monopoly on political villainy?

Are you suggesting Mattel didn't copyright the Barbie voice recordings? Try making a doll that uses the same recordings and see how far you get.:)
What I wonder is whether the sound equipment is digital, but it probably is.
Why use them if no one's going to look at them? In this case, the system is just far too easy to abuse, and too hard to fight the abuse of.
There is a use of meta keywords in an intranet, where it's possible to apply standards on what keyword styles are permissible. But on the public Internet, the only reliable way to avoid having one's meta-keyword database polluted by abusers is to ignore them.
Anyone clever enough to understand how that works is much more likely to be able to secure their box. If you are successful in keeping your box from getting infected, they'll never know. And although that doesn't respect the letter of the restriction, it does respect the spirit of it.
smash has the right idea, although I would state it slightly differently. What they're saying is, 'we don't have time to find out if you know how to secure a Win2K box'. Presumably they could use an automated probe, say something that simulates a Code Red attack and an attempt to log on with a blank admin password - but even developing such a probe would require someone to spend time on it, and thus cost money.

I really don't know if that actually has any effect on the impact to someone's mind, mind you.

Mass manslaughter, actually. Murder requires the specific intent to kill - negligence that results in death is called manslaughter.

Which country would that be, then? Certainly not the US...

Except that this isn't happening in a single school district in the United States, and never has.

Whether this is right is a separate issue.
