    So, essentially you mean you don't mind being defrauded of your rights once, but you do start to develop objections after about five consecutive attempts?

  3. Re:Guys, we're talking about SYRIA here on Syrian Blogger Sentenced to Three Years in Jail · · Score: 1

    Why not? 'Interesting' is not 'Good' or 'True'
    For me this sort of ignorance is as interesting as a traffic accident.
    (I admit however, that with the moderation the poster will probably think he has made an interesting remark, not that his mental condition exhibits an interesting pathology).
    Btw. Modding this '+1 interesting' is inappropriate.

    I hear your congressmen takes letters. Mine does, but he ignores them.

  9. Re:Bias? on 500 Thousand MS Web Servers Hacked · · Score: 1

    From the FA: ...So essentially what happened was that the attackers looked for ASP or ASPX pages containing any type of querystring ...

    That is NOT IIS directed but it jut happens to only point to IIS servers.

    Also from the FA: ...So far we've only seen websites using Microsoft IIS webserver and Microsoft SQL Server being hit...

    So by your reasoning the loose correlation now appears to be 'incompetent programmers' and 'IIS+Microsft SQL server'.

    I don't know what to say.
    That's pretty obvious.

    How is the alledged fact that a LAMP stack would have been more vulnerable to this IIS directed attack relevant to this story? No claims of superiority for any server software in the blurb. Are you just trolling?

    I has nothing to do with democracy, constitutions or political system.
    Consumer protection laws have been in effect in europe since the middle ages, and are taken seriously by all parties. This is probably due to a tradition of draconian punishment for repeat offenders.

    I'm not getting free content. The content is paid for in the form of compulsory advertisement tax on the products I buy.

    The fact that Microsoft offered 44 Billion, half of it in its own shares and the rest in cash, for a 12 Billion company (1.3B shares*9$) gives you an idea how much they really think their own stocks are worth...

    That's nothing. Wait until they discover that part of your DNA matches their patented sequence. You will be forced to either pay up for the annual license fee for each of your 10^14 cells, or remove all traces of the infringing sequence from your body immediately.
