I don't think the 'expert' really understands quite all that much about networks.
kazaa could be set to use an external IP. even so, wouldn't the kazaa packet be NAT'd to the external IP? didn't he forget about multi-homed IP addresses? and router MAC masquerading? what about DHCP timeouts? and DHCP Lease Locks? what about IP address Spoofing?
Their case is built upon logs from a well-poisoning company and the 'expert' Dr. Lookie-Loo.
wonder why he's never been before a judge?
you can't conveniently leave out pertinent details in a forensic investigation. the very nature of a forensic investigation is to cover all angles and get the whole story through ALL the evidence that exists.
Dr. Lookie-Loo never performed a forensic investigation into possible security flaws and/or possible compromises of the hard drive? That's grounds for dismissal of the case in my book.
it's funny how/. readers are complaining about customer service. I've experienced bad service in every chain you can imagine. Living in Miami, which is famous for poor customer service. (imagine walking into best buy and none of the employees speak english).
the real problem is, walking into a store to decide what you want to buy. I know before I ever set foot in a store exactly what I want and a second choice in case it's out of stock. I never comparison shop at a store. That's what normal people do. That's why I want to kick salesmen in the head everytime they come up to me.
the only time you ever need to set foot in a computer or electronics store, is to pick up an item that you need today.
amazon offers free shipping a lot of items. That's who I use.
Mr. Blackwell couldn't be reached for comment. A source close to him mentioned he was meeting with KITECH's creator of EveR-1, Baeg Moon-hong in San Marcos, CA with Abyss Creations, manufacturers of the Real Doll. While dumpster diving in Mr. Blackwell's refuse, multiple pages were found about a secret project code-named: C.H.E.R.R.Y.2000.
their plan was to go for the 13-26 bracket that watches media on their computers. I think their market research should be hanged right about now. this is a crucial business error, one, from which they will never recover. they have to make it better than free! here, pay $2.99 to download a DRMed WMV file that won't work on your Linux distro or your mac. Lesson #1. don't exclude mac or Linux.
HOW FUCKING STUPID ARE YOU MPAA?
big media is doomed to endure internet downloading and third-world piracy, until they DO get it! I'm sorry, but a dvdrip for free is better ANY DAY than a $2.99 DRM WMV file. MPAA, RIAA take your DRM and shove it up your ASS, you fucking content czars!
The Apple commercial with the scary agent guy has it correct. Microsoft's approach to security is confusing at best.
After working with windows as an admin for 10 years, I recently heard from a programmer that there are 2 levels above administrator in vista. this down from 3 levels above in XP. This is why the security issues exist. You don't control the access to your own OS. Instead, there are levels there for government intrusion, and levels for microsoft intrusion.
In Linux, there are still access methods for government, but there are none higher than root.
I have to agree with the masses here. why would the worlds largest retailer make such a decision? that's like walmart refusing to sell to people who use discover card. oh wait. the point is, it's a consumers' market. excluding certain consumers for their choice in web browser is just as silly as excluding them for their choice in credit card. Granted, discover card doesn't have the largest market share, but programming your new internet application for use in only internet explorer, is just an incredibly short-sighted business decision.
Just as it is an incredibly short-sighted business decision by any company today. The real issue here is: if you follow the standards IE won't render it properly. so they follow IE and the rest won't work.
Giant blimps circle the earth high up in the atmostphere with enormous beds of algae that eat carbon dioxide and fart oxygen. the blimps have solar panels that power the guidance systems and avionics packages. They are also transparent so the algae beds inside can get the light they need. These algae live and reproduce inside the blimp. The electronics package controls the air flow through the blimp body. The avionics package controls buoyancy. These blimps could, given enough algae area, cure the problem in about 3 years.

He is to science of the next generation, what jesus was to everyone else.
I grew up in south Florida, living in Fort Lauderdale since I was four and recently moving to Miami.
we used to have three months of winter. granted it was between 38F and 65F in our winters.
now our winter consists of a cold front for five days. we have two days of sweater weather a year now!
don't even think about our summers. you can't get in your car until you cool it off for about ten minutes.
I have seen the same thing.
norton doesn't find any viruses unless you actively scan.
what I've discovered in every situation is, the admin sets norton with the default settings, doesn't bother to schedule a scan or an update.
everytime I've seen it, there's an expired license for norton. This completely disables updates.
I install kaspersky and never have any more problems, except with the user.
the software is nothing more than the grease between a key and its tumblers.
the DMCA takedown notice doesn't apply.
it won't hold up in court.

these planes are supposed to fly on the RealOS real-time Linux Flavor aren't they?
why would that bug exist?
these are just stupid mistakes by half-assed programmers.
this is clearly a rhetorical question.
anyone who has a brain knows the answer is yes
anyone ever use a thermal printer?
now paper is going to become $0.25 per sheet!
this is a great idea, but since AT&T now owns most of the cellular networks, big media's congress won't allow Jesus's righteous FCC to do this.
I'm sorry, that is just lazy, sloppy programming.
the tribal peoples of asia should be ashamed of themselves for putting out this horrible excuse for programming.
that sounds like a great idea, however, flash memory has a habit of failing with no warning whatsoever as well.
BUY MORE ROUTERS!
duh! this is the simple solution.
bandwidth lives in the memory of routers!
fucking idiots!
race has no significance in games.
the protagonist could be white, black, chinese, native american, philipino, or hispanic.
it doesn't matter to me.
just as long as the voice acting is good and appropriate.

Dairy farmers think milk should cost more.
FUCKING DUH!
of course, laughing them off doesn't really work that well.
maybe we should sue the RIAA again for price fixing, again.
Steve, what happens if you simply remove the DRM from all the music on the Itunes store?
is it suddenly going to collapse?
