The only one's I've ever had problems with are the ones who sound like there's a 747 behind them because they're breathing into the headset and have an accent so thick, it sounds like somebody talking outside your door. I get that people who don't care for IT won't learn it and completely agree, but... those tech manuals aren't written by those same people, they're written by people who know what they're doing and are probably provided by the out-sourcee . Granted long before I call tech support, before I take that deep breath and dial, I know I can't fix the problem myself, I just walk through the steps and get my replacement. Their steps ARE comprehensive, and would fix say my monitor if I was a newbie and didn't check some of the settings first, not much for a finished back light though, the support realizes that eventually though and sends you a replacement. In my experience the problem has been more with pre built expectations of the tech support rep (ex. s/he's dumb and low level) that cause problems with tech support, rather than their systems that they apply to EVERYBODY.
IMHO, you need to talk to a lawyer (sometimes before you even start the project so you don't waste your time), I doubt a good one would charge you unless s/he had to file the patent themselves (lawyers file the majority of these) and if you find the right ones, they deal with it as a large part of their living (ex. defending a patent). What you may find is things get handled on a case to case basis with patents because of all the complex rules and regulations surrounding them.
Mailinator has been around for ages, this is not news, if you don't know what it is then:( for you, and as the article said back in the day it was by far the best way to get a temp email for signing up for something like a forum that requires you to register so you can get the link you need. IMHO it still is. The writer provided an epic insight into the battle between websites and bots, more than you typically hear of on a day to day basis. He went completely out of his way to implement this solution, nobody would ever code an intranet like this, but supposedly he also got results and was even able to implement a good measure. Great example of code being applied to the real world for those who haven't seen a whole lot of it.
I highly doubt 99% of websites are set up this way. Deny lists are a lot more popular than allow lists since you can never truelly know where ALL of your traffic is coming from.
The HP Slate 500 has been around for about a year, its a tablet PC replacement with windows 7 pro, Asus, Acer all make windows tablets like this one. What does that mean? VPN, Office, vSphere, SSMS, SSIS all working flawlessly on a tablet with a 10"-"12" diameter. I won't bother listing the vast array of other features these have for a tablets. If I want a desktop replacement I fire up VPN > RDP > my work computer and boom, i7 proc on my tablet. The Cisco tablet is just a well advertised edition to the lesser known tablets market. Cisco may pretend like it's the newest and greatest, but it won't even be the best on the market a year later.
Lulzsec missed a target it seems, maybe anonymous can catch up? I'm sure there's enough dirt on these POS execs on their computers to put them in prison for the next millennium, they will not be missed.
what's that? Most IT entities i've worked with (small business) don't have dedicated security teams, they have critical personal information that would make identity theft cheezy ez, but not security. The assumption has always been this can't happen to us, and chances are it never will, but NOW the "it may happen to us" mentality is starting to take over. Good time to work in the IT security sector, though some of the people I've met from there make me giggle:)
Maybe this is exactly what we need, newbs need to depart the "deep web" in some way shape or form, technical loss of freedom is one way of doing it.
Encrypted bittorent traffic + ipfilter.dat really shouldn't be an option in my opinion, and soon may not be especially if shit like this flies (thnx Lulz Sec for opening the door, though some may cry)
So here's the plan gentlemen:
1. a law passes that allows the ISP to mess with your traffic
2. Those to whom its applicable buy a server outside the border, somewhere the internet laws are a little more non-existant (Russia? Japan?) find your own country rofl.
3. Self-explanatory profit.
Look for a detailed guide upon law passing, until then keep speculating and feeding big brother your thoughts.
needs to hire less of the former and invest more in the latter. The only way the government can lock a determined individual down in their country via an internet restrictions approach is to cut the ethernet cable running to that person's computer. The internet as is is not by design meant to be restrictive, it's all technologies that have come after it that have waged the war.
Let me start out by saying if they kill off silverlight nobody will miss it I don't think. Now, because javascript is client-side based language, and so is HTML5, 100% of the source is available to the browser. This doesn't work for most commercial solutions. I don't understand the validity of the comparison, it's like comparing apples and oranges..NET works w/ jscript and html5, not as a competitor, nor is the latter a replacement. This kinda shit comes from newbs who probably wouldn't know where to start writing html1-4, much less predict technologies futures. Leave code to the coder people and go write about cooking, thanks.
When US secrets are published, those who publish them are considered terrorists.
When Russian secrets are published, the CIA busts open a bottle of champagne, and provides whatever needs necessary to the publisher to get the word out.
Thereby, according to the government it's better to be a foreign "freedom fighter" (terrorist to that country, hero to us) than a patriot (terrorist to us).
What I wonder is, say your a freedom fighter and you publish USA secrets, maybe they assume you are a terrorist organization?
DDOS / DOS attacks can be a pre-cursor for a far more malicious exploit. Lose the ignorance, think Sony. Going back to the topic though, accusations don't mean convictions and I'm willing to be it's a combination of posts & probably IP logs from the DDOS tool that got these people busted. On an individual level, I'm not sure how illegal it is to stream packets at an IP, but I'm not considering intent / circumstances as it's unavailable here. All in all, the nail that sticks out gets hammered. Somebody with the know how to get through million dollar IDS & IPS systems has demonstrated that they are above the concept. Still, I have a feeling this whole situation is going to make the internet a much less free place, start reading on SSL tunnels & off-shore server hosting?
Just a thought, but "5 years ago" sounds about right, when has the government done anything cutting edge w technology. I object to them not using HTML text vs a flash based format, or least providing the former, but what did you expect? AJAX w/ jQuery?
Also, PDF is available and there are converters for pdf to text that'll take care of the OP issue, overkill on my part to get a copy though.
I've seen a few different data centers, they all look about the same, why should we care? I'm pretty sure it was SUN Microsystems who came up with the modular shipping container design, which was back in the day.
It's most likey 25% of convicted hackers turned. They are probably defining hackers as site operators AND black hats who dealt in wares, keys, hacks, etc... or worms, viruses, data theft. Think about it, they can only know "hackers" they've caught. I would have thought the turn rate would be a lot higher considering WHY most people choose to venture to that side (it's not for you), the offer isn't probably extended to everybody. And of course to add a little humor, the people they actually want as informants, they can't catch. Script kiddies ahoy.
To add, responsibility is also a huge factor in the $ part. A coder might be more technically skilled than his/her senior counter-part... but... who is responsible for company direction, dealing w/ management. new ideas, and when something goes bad? All that should play into the consideration of $ vs time vs responsibility. Having said that the best job is the one you can do in 40 hours, at 60, you have no free time, and no energy. Also, coming in to work knowing that if there's a fire it's not your ass is a big thing to take away.
I think in Korea SC2 is very comparable to Chess, it's got a fan following but it's nothing like baseball or football in the states. People show up to gaming conventions all the time for all sorts of games just to watch. The original had almost unlimited depth to it's play style and from that arose a fan following, time will tell with the 2nd one, but right now it's at least partially playing off the glory of the original.
possibly Ideal web developer environment:
1 monitor : database management software (ex. SSMS)
2nd monitor: dev tool (ex. VS)
3rd monitor: website under development
Other uses include email & of course browser/ monitoring.
At this point I think space becomes a major issue for monitors, but if you can get 3 to fit on your desk and your coding not having to tab your apps in the middle of testing saves a lot of time a day, as well as hand motion.
Also, a common rule pertaining to developers applies here: if the equipment even increases the productivity of a developer by a bit, the equipment will pay for itself via the developer's salary.

When that happens that person is under-employed and under-achieving by miles and miles :)
