He has to use/pay for windows. Why should the government give a rip about him? Not everyone's life revolves around the freaking computer. Yes they only support windows, nobody though that support the small % of people who use only linux was worth their time. Read a damn book or something so you can get a job so you don't have to warez everything.
I'm sure he didn't make any money off banner ads on his torrent site he ran. Noo.. No sir.. Not a penny.
Look spam is spam. I'm sure when the christian folks spam me about the lord or whatever nonsense, they really feel they are doing the right thing. I still don't want it though.
The people over there who know about the proxies don't want to see your spam. If anything this would do nothing more than make the situation worse and you'd probably see a tighting down of their firewall system.
Yeah you saw how supportive they were with Win2k during the DST patching. They'll be forcing Vista down people's throats and more people into alternative platforms with virtualization helping make the transition a lot easier. I sure hope someone in Redmond is paying attention to this possible outcome.
Doubtful though because in the short run it pays to force people to vista.
I head up the IT department at an insurance agency. We have atleast two apps confirmed that will not work under IE7 and is expected to be some time before it will work.
Hey personally I think this sounds like a good assignment IF the professor provided his own servers. These are tools that anybody gaining knowledge in computer security should be familiar with. How hard would it be for the professor to setup a Windows and *nix box with some public services running, and host it from his home connection or atleast get some university resources dedicated to it.
Anyone on a blacklist isn't a real spammer. They are either a clueless company with an open relay (blacklisting them is fine cause it gets them to fix it) or it is a newbie spammer, sending out from a known spamming source (and fine ban them).
Thing is real spammers, spam and run via zombie machines, hacked wifi connections, etc. They move about, constantly switching their source.
We need to stop thinking blacklisting is the only way. More people need to adopt SPF records.
Thing is they really kept pushing them even after the news broke that they have a huge failure rate. I made the mistake of buying a large batch of those drives. You RMA them and they send you more of the same stuff. Drives that fail within 6 months to a year of usage.
I never implied that I was planning on selling it and not telling someone it was modded. How often do you come across this? I assume with the way you are talking you work at some sort of car dealership..
The worst are the majority of drivers who never bother to change the oil and then don't inform the buyer. Hope they sleep well.
How about this. Buyer beware on a damn used car, get it checked out by your mechanic, etc, etc.
I've been running a chip in my VW for 3 years now. Great gains, fun mod, great bang per buck. My warrenty was long expired and I was fully aware of the added stress from my lead foot from the power increase.
BioTech.. I could see it as one of the next big booms, then we could ship it off overseas and work on something else.:\
For me having a job where I work on computers is a dream job. I love my job. It'd be sad to think I would have trouble finding work doing this in the future.
I'd attribute this to the SP being the first Game Boy to have a screen that's viewable in total darkness, as well as not requiring batteries.
Eh? Mean extra batteries?
Amazing how Nintendo can continue to dominate the handheld gaming market year after year. One of the major points about a gameboy (be it the original or the new advaced ones) is that they don't suck down the batteries like some of the other flops (gamegear? could you even play all the way through a game without having to swap batteries).
Funny how the basics of what someone would like in a mobile device really help sell it. Maybe some of these pda companies should take note.
I had Professor Sussman when I was in school. Great guy, one of my top favorite professors of all time. Awesome to see that he is back at MIT and making waves.
Anyone read any of his books on media and communications?
You're missing the point. If the person is on a Wifi setup on a college campus they cannot go in and start changing out the college routers. The college wifi APs would have been put in by the actual staff. Unless he is going in ninja style and swapping them out for a more secure setup.. Which isn't going to happen.
You posted a link on WPA. Your aware of what WPA is right? The student can't just "check the wpa box" on his wifi setup. The student is at the hands of whatever the school has put out. It would require an upgrade to the APs.
So when you said: "So, if you're going to use wireless, don't forget to use some decent Wi-Fi security (link)"
How is that link going to help? How can the student go in and change the security on the campus? Which is why I said only way it would float is if they put in their own routers.
In Summation: You're the last guy I'd be worried about hacking any of my wifi activity.
Uhh yeah that link would help if the student worked for IT and was implimenting the WiFi setup. If you are really all that worried, just disable the WiFi connection until you need it.
Jesus man chill out.. Not everyone is as smart as you, just come to grips with it. I'm sure your smart enough to deal with it and not freak out. Also did you lose your password? Your posting under AC.

Wow that is beautiful.
Ohhh booohooohooohooo.. *sob* *whimper* *whine*....

My mom gave me a brick and told me to go play outdoors

Our HR person has access to my SSN and all sorts of private information. OH NOES!!
Our accounting person has handled personal bank information for my direct deposit information. OH NOES!!
Lets make everyone who does anything get licensed by the state. That is what we need. More state licensing.
Tell your mom to accept my darn friend request already

I looked this up on Snopes and didn't see shit.
When I setup the hold music on our PBX at the office, I set it up with some subliminal messaging to calm them down before I get them.
That way I get the full fun of working them up into a complete tizzy.

Wow you must be a real fun guy to hang out with. It was a joke.. One you obviously missed.
Thing is they really kept pushing them even after the news broke that they have a huge failure rate. I made the mistake of buying a large batch of those drives. You RMA them and they send you more of the same stuff. Drives that fail within 6 months to a year of usage.
They didn't handle it, they just spun it.
Uhhh yeah, of course I would inform the buyer.

Besides having to run 90+ octane, I love it.

Sure it is because the jobs are going to India no matter what.
It is? Links please..
