It's been my experience that people from the middle east can't even stay connected to Dungeons and Dragons Online reliably let alone hack the US government. I don't think they quite have the technical infrastructure to mount a large scale cyber attack even if they decided to attempt it. Thus the script kiddie DDOS bullshit against banks. They'd have to buy all better routers and bury some fiber before they even had the infrastructure to make the internet work sufficiently in their country.
So you've got an ISP that uses ipv6 and you get your own address so every service on the internet is guaranteed to work (sort of). Then you've got an ISP where rumor gets around that you all share one IP and that might cause a gigantic list of problems, break a ton of services, prevent you from accessing millions of websites that IP-banned "you," etc. Guess which ones customers are going to go for. You need zero technical knowledge to tell someone that with one ISP a ton of stuff on the internet doesn't work and with the other it works just fine.
How would that ever happen though? If the file is encrypted completely from start to finish using their system to avoid legal problems, and I may be wrong about this, then the meta data on the file is included as well. So it would be encrypted differently if it had so much as a different file creation date or last modified date, right? Because those are 0's and 1's somewhere in the file itself.
Real dedupe programs for non-encrypted files typically ignore meta data like that when comparing two files. Barracuda does that for example. So that means files hit their servers unencrypted and are analyzed before being encrypted, which puts them in the same hot water as they were in before because they could easily determine what the file is and if it's copyrighted.
If I get a $5000 biometric lock for my door then install it horribly wrong, it's not the lock's fault. I didn't read way into the description of the flaw but it seemed to me like they just coded it like idiots and you don't need some sort of magical SSL decryptor to pull off the hack. I think, given past history as evidence, he's just a fat, stuck up, arrogant piece of shit that rushed out a crappy, half-working service to basically give the finger to the people trying to sue/arrest him and now he's trying to save face since he props up his entire ego on what he thinks people think of him and his products.
"but those of us in the early parts of their careers will be the ones who have to deal with the problem." I'm 25 and we don't use Unix here. Those two statements are not unrelated. Yay, it doesn't affect us.
Read the Quran. It strongly promotes violance, sexism, war, intolerance of any other religions, etc. That is Islam whether most muslims act that way or not.
Paypal in the US uses a credit reporting company to verify identities. They don't actually do it themselves. How are they supposed to do it themselves in England?
Make it over 23 letters (or 24, I forget). The end. That's unhackable by anything anywhere ever. Then it can be "gorillasgorillasgorillas1" and it won't matter because nobody could ever possibly hack it.
Why would burying them in the ground seem like a better option than recycling the metal and the engine and various engine parts? Quite a few fit into automobiles or a car could be designed that used the parts. How strong is the evidence that anyone anywhere ever actually put them in the ground?
I believe this is cure for AIDS #3 on slashdot. Cures for cancer are at about 14. Cures for aging in general, at least 4. I think solar panels are at about 1000% efficiency too if you add up all the stories.
That thread didn't mention the price anywhere. Any idea what it goes for approx? Amazon didn't have any idea and some online sites seemed to suggest around $75 but that's not for sure.
MSSE sucks, okay. That aside, AV-TEST is a fucking joke. Their top three products on their site are the worst overall products I've ever seen. Yes, they detect viruses. They also slow your system to a crawl, have awful user interfaces, are terribly priced, have bad scanning options, slow scanning engines, have false positives like crazy, and and generally terrible. They apparently didn't take much if any of THAT into consideration unfortunately. Obviously the tests were tailored towards certain products so the whole site is a giant joke/advertisement.
C# is faster. Java is one of the slowest things I've ever seen in my life. All that "we run on any OS" overhead is ridiculous. How are they even asking this?! Java games run like crap. Open Office is slow as hell. Fishbowl is slow as hell and takes 4x more memory than it should. Java is super inefficient at the cost of being compatible. C# runs a lot closer to natively on any OS.
Skype has video and you know it's only a matter of time before realtime video chat is mainstream on a console. So call your lawyer and start filing your lawsuit now because there's about to be a hurricane, chat roulette style. This time for more minors so I'm sure we can add the US senate into things. They tend to jump on stuff like that.
Progress and "prosperity" mean a lot more to China than people's health. I have a feeling an entire city could drop dead and they still wouldn't do anything about their environmental problems. In fact, they'd probably just say that's how the problem solved itself.
They're all competing twice as hard as a year ago to bringout the fastest, biggest, cheapest drive and suddenly an OCZ Vertex costs $139 instead of the $79.99 I paid on 4 builds that I used them in in the past. That's the definition of price fixing. Companies are killing each other over price and then suddenly they all stop for no apparent reason and raise their prices.
What are you talking about? Every time you write to flash memory, you have the erase and rewrite the entire 4096 bit block. So 1, 3, whatever. It doesn't matter. Citation?
They wasted all their money buying pot, imagine that. Still the same cause and effect chronologically. I really don't think that social and economic factors affect how quickly and effectively my brain can process information. Constantly messing with my nervous system with drugs, well that just might do it.

But my server doesn't have a touchscreen! lol

The ship is sinking! Throw off anything that makes money! Yeah, that makes sense
From that review, it appears they just barely beat Windows 8 at bad UI design and counter-intuitive functionality. That's hard to do!

Aaaaaand AV-TEST responded already:

I bullshit you not, there's a Norman: Security Suite Pro 9.0. I seriously doubt that's what they meant to type though, given the context.

Failure to properly plan and fund and implement IPv6 for your own company is not what I would call a failure of IPv6.
