Maybe we see dupes so often because people tend to forget things previously posted.
So you deploy OOo...now what happens with proprietary formats? You get it approved for starting in the 06-07 school year and MS Office 2007 comes out (all the new Dells, Compaqs, et al come with MS Office preloaded). Good luck talking the students and parents into using compatible software...have you ever tried to convince them they need virus protection? HA.
At the risk of getting flamebait or troll, I'll speak my mind anyway.
How about trying out this GREAT utility called "menuconfig"...then you can unbloat your kernel. In the time it saves you from manually editing your.config, you can unbloat YOUR products.
It's not supposed to help grandma. It's removing the dns cache from the machine and putting all the dns events in the event viewer. Do that instead of rebooting.
Did we suddenly stop manufacturing those soft, clear rubber keyboard covers?
"The difficulty with keyboards is you can't pour bleach on them," Dr. Allison McGeer, an infection control specialist from Toronto's Mount Sinai Hospital, tells The Canadian Press. "They don't work so well when you do that.''
The difficulty with corporate thinking is that you need to invent a Star Trek touch panel for $988.45 per keyboard instead of buying a $0.50 cover and just changing them daily or weekly. Bleach works fine on it.
I think people are becoming forgetful that we barely cracked the surface of the space frontier. It's still dangerous, we still have very little idea of what we're doing, and every time someone goes up there's a good chance they're not coming back...whether it's to repair a satellite or to stay on the ISS.
These kind of impossible-to-solve problems are to be expected.
what right do they have to sue for damages when they're not even trying to sell the "pirated" product themselves? Where is the loss of revenue?
Loss of revenue doesn't matter. They HAVE to protect their copyright.
Why is the IDSA or ESA or whatever they're called this year going after pirated NES or Atari games? When was the last officially licensed sale of an NES game?
Is a site that shares old Stevie Nicks, Frank Sinatra, and Ian Hunter live shows really that much of a threat to the music industry?
Yes. History has shown that if you give people an inch, they go the whole way. If they want to be successful (both image-wise AND legal) they need to pursue ALL cases of piracy.....even if it's older bootlegs.
I don't think anyone really understands that. It's a bunch of colleges and GOVERNMENT facilities that linked up. Then it was a bunch of companies that linked up. Then bigger companies linked to companies in other countries.
The companies in each country is governed by their own laws (such as China...they can censor whatever they want from their feed). Trying to have a centralized governing body for the net, which is decentralized by nature, doesn't work (read: ICANN). Don't like the company that runs the.com registry because it's in the US? Get a.de domain. If you have a problem with a.net registrar, you take it up according to the laws of their country.
About the only solution we can do without causing all sorts of hell is to pick X amount of countries and distribute the root servers to them all in order to give them the illusion that the net is now controlled by "everyone" rather than separate networks that are peered by trade.
When you don't take care of your car and the engine freezes or when you get into a car accident, it's a significant portion of the purchase price. That's comparable to a severe virus/spyware infection since it cripples the machine.
I do this for a living. Thank you to all the crappy software vendors, virus creators and spyware companies.
But seriously...I use this analogy for my customers: You change the oil in your car every 3000 miles, you read the owners manual, you took a driver's test. A PC is a machine just like a car and it needs attention. You need to read up on it and look after it just like any other appliance or machine.
When you're on the highway, you're sharing the road with other drivers...much like when you're on the internet you're sharing it with other people. You have insurance incase someone hits your car...but you don't have virus protection or spyware protection incase someone from the net hits your PC.
Same story, different day.

Do the clerks know that those machines can store an XLS spreadsheet of all the information scanned? Do they know if those that own/operate the stores use that information later?
Nightclubs do that. When they scan your license, it stores your name/address/birthday for a mailing list. Big events are a mass mailing...and birthdays get you a "get in for free" pass.
I have absolutely no problem earning a living from recovering virused, spyware-ridden and cracked systems (or I guess in this case, "here's my password systems"). I encourage this idiot behavior:)
I was starting to get annoyed at the amount of 911 stuff EVERYWHERE. It's in your account area with big red borders. It's in the agreement. It has a special screen. It's in the pamphlet. It's in the welcome letter. It's in the paper terms of service (2 pages long of just 911 stuff).
They made it SO abundantly clear that this lawsuit will have no merit at all...they even SPECIFICALLY mention the issue of someone else not being able to dial 911 because you didn't explain how VoIP works to a guest or family member.
As far as blocking goes, perhaps a scheme where the VoIP unit opens a master data channel to the VoIP provider and then that channel will tell the unit what server to connect to and on what port...kind of like how FTP works. It'll be difficult for ISPs to figure it out when the ports are random, the data is encrypted, and the VoIP provider rolls their call server IPs.
People have mentioned encryption, tunneling, etc in the past...my question is: why wasn't this implemented from the start? Nothing to do with beating ISPs being meanie heads...but simple security for a private phone conversation?
This looks like a MAJOR oversight here...a key-based/challenge scheme on negotiation and then compress the encrypted stream. Oh wait. I just described GSM (cell phone).
Grant it, the ISP can tag packets destined for the VoIP servers...that'll take something else. Perhaps off topic, but this encryption oversight makes me wonder.
We've had fingerprint technology for a long time. In fact, the Samsung laptop has it built in. Why are (especially) government agencies using passwords? You can't exactly "share" your fingerprint with someone on the phone.
Now what about Google Desktop, Deadaim, et al that record your conversation? People saying that they're home-free from being haunted by their words later on are sadly mistaken. Just because AOL isn't listening doesn't mean someone else isn't.

The Flash intensive site features details on the mission, the crew, and the shuttle itself.
I'm glad they spent $7,500 on an ultra-flash-intense site. Your tax dollars at work.

Um...
/flushdns /registerdns
ipconfig

But wouldn't an easier way be just using dig to directly query the name servers?

It's all about the legal crap and their image.

Have you done this lately? I've never seen so much nonsense, rejections, security denials, et al.
No more lifting the remote to change the channel. So now the only exercise people will get is lifting the Bawls can?
Righs

Incase you forgot, AIM has built in encryption...just create the keys.
SQL injection to dump the entire DB and see it all in plaintext.
Is having plaintext data stolen worth not paying for an extra quad Xeon DB server to handle the additional encryption load?
