Would you care to explain how Nokia's patents are not software patents when they are implemented by software? Care to explain how Nokia has a right to now claim that all of Apple's product line is infringing when Apple has "licensed" WiFi from the standards group? How can Nokia make claims against a company that has legally licensed Wifi technology?
You are retarded.
Apple is shit, their products are shit, and their "users" (zealots) are even bigger shit.
This has nothing to do with WiFi, but you're so much obsessed with iShit, that you can't even read properly anymore.
Knuth had his day. That day is the equivalent of building stone tools and hunting with rocks and sticks.
Today we are using bows and arrows. We have left the stone tools behind and can now express our imagination in ways that are simply beyond the scope of TAOCP.
But remember, we are still only using bows and arrows. The next big thing will be gunpowder.
You are a fucking idiot, and you are a perfect example of why everything runs like shit these days.
Change port. Believe it or not, it does help enourmously - I didn't beleive it, but then I've done it for shits and giggles, I haven't had a single brute force attempt on my server.
Also, use sshdfilter (or fail2ban, etc).
Those 2 will take care of most SSH brute force attacks.
And if you don't want any SSH brute force attacks on your server, use public key authentication.
How is this any different from building a large tower on your property, a city ordinance is a city ordinance. If it's not allowed it isn't allowed. Now is it right? maybe not, but then they should have lead a drive to change the ordinance before they violated it.
Holy crap, humans are really retarded.
Use some fucking common sense, for a change. We're turning into damn robots, obsessed with laws and regulations that regulate EVERYTHING.
Yeah, the bias in the 'article' (and summary) is disgusting. Vermont is simply doing exactly what -should- be done when safety procedures are not being met. I would hate to see -any- nuclear plants shut down, but it's a lot better to shut it down than let it run unsafe, even for a short time.
Having a nuclear plant not meet safety procedures/regulations, in the first place, is more worrying than anything else.
RAM is wasted when it isn't in use. The fact that the task manager in Windows says your RAM is used 95% tells nothing, and no it won't "result in slow-downs as the systems were forced to increasingly turn to disk-based virtual memory to handle tasks". I'm actually really surprised, and not in a good way, that "chief technology officer" of the company doesn't know this.
Of course that RAM is wasted when it's not in use.
That's why Linux does it properly, and uses RAM.
Unlike Windows 7, which uses RAM and then continues using your Virtual memory (read: hard disk), because it's buggy.
Which is the point, the French have been using lab tests to cheat at the Tour for quite a while. Ever notice how mysteriously one of the samples for Lance Armstrong went "missing" after the other was tested positive? The French just can't stand the idea that they were beaten fair and square by Americans so they trump up charges and try and get the results tossed out.
No wonder noone likes yanks.
Just look at your fucking reasoning, logic and generalisation.
Crime has many definitions, and there isnt a single one where this man is not a criminal.
There is a legal definition of wrong, misdemeanor, tort, or felony. Under this basis, the perpetrator is a criminal.
There is also the moral definition of crime, an offense, serious wrongdoing, sin. Under this basis, the perpetrator is a criminal.
There is the dictionary defintion, an action or an instance of negligence that is deemed injurious to the public welfare or morals. Under this basis, the perpetrator is a criminal.
Finally, there is the "I didn't graduate from high school, but I tried to," mentally handicapped, how you explain it to a small child when you are a bad parent who hides the real world from their children definition, which simply states that crime is a foolish, senseless, or shameful act. Under this basis, the perpetrator is a criminal.
If you happen to have another definition of crime in which this man is not a criminal, you are trying to use a different word.
No. You are a fucking idiot.
You are exactly what is wrong with humanity today.
People are so obsessed with defining things in words, that they've lost any touch with logic and/or feelings. Or common sense.
People like to share. They always liked to share. When I shared VHS tapes 20 years ago, noone was calling me a criminal. Nowdays, if I share an audio CD with someone, I am supposed to feel like a fucking criminal?
It's convenient that everyone will talk about democracy, majority, voting rights. Yet, they talk about such things when it suits them, but go and ask people to vote if they think sharing CDs is a crime. You'll get majority of people saying "no". Then ask same people if they think stealing/killing/whatever is a crime. You'll get majority saying "yes".
Don't you see a problem here?
I bet that in 20 years, I won't be able to share my toolbox with my neighbour.
We're, basically, slaves. I am okay with that, since I can't think of any way to change the status-quo. But I am tired of people pretending that they have freedom - when they' don't.
We don't have the even most basic of freedoms, and that's the freedom to be left alone.
Oh, look at that rant, I feel so edgy today;)
[and no, I don't care about this guy sharing some Wii game - I am just tired of all these anti-piracy-I-am-free-like-a-bird retards repeating same old nonsensical shit all day long...]
I often see many pro-piracy comments on slashdot on these things (probably also because pirates are more interested on the matter). But many times these are actual damages caused to companies. Putting out that game a week before surely counted a lot of illegal downloading and people not buying the game. Sure it's bad to for him, but those are the lost money for Nintendo. What's so wrong about them suing him?
There is nothing wrong with suing him.
However, slapping him with US$ 1.5mil fine is pretty retarded.
It's also apparently the case that the invaders were intentionally trying to bring down the server in a plan that backfired on the badly.
Look at this monkey.
Yeah, I just love crashing servers on Saturday evening, and holding my cock instead of playing a game. Not only that, but we were crashing the node while jumping our own Titans in.
Except the service wasn't interrupted by CCP, it was caused by the players from the attacking faction basically trying to slashdot the damn server, without using the established notification practice to give CCP time to move the node onto a more capable server in time.
You are a fucking idiot.
Sov was lost after downtime, and CCP can not reinforce the node without shutting it down. That's why they reinforce nodes during downtime. With old sov mechanics, it was easier, because sov was tied to downtime.
And how exactly the "players interrupted the service"? I mean, would you mind telling me what exactly we did, except pressing a button in an online spaceship internet game called "EVE online"?
I am so sorry if I wasn't supposed to press a button in this game. Maybe I should just give 15$ to CCP every month, and not even start the client? That would be ideal, wouldn't it?
What is this shit, looks like a damn advertisement for EVE?
EVE is horrible game, the performance is horrible after Dominion, and someone is trying to present this failure on CCP's part, like something cool?
I canceled my accounts. Not because I lost something (I lived and killed quite few hostiles, woohoo), but because I realized I spent more time waiting in this game, than playing it.
If I want to wait, I can go to a bus station. For free.
She had the following on herself -hand drawn map of downtown Jerusalem -Arabic stickers on laptop -"Fuck Star of David" pic on phone -passport stamps from Arab countries -various Arab publications -photos condemning Israeli military action in Gaza
Yeah, so?
Do you think Israelis are so special, that noone can have any objections? Or we're not allowed to criticize Israelis? Or to carry Arab publications?
I am fairly certain that the anti-virus software makers would have been approached by the FBI and told not to detect their particular trojan's signature.
Why would an anti-virus vendor from Spain (for example) have to listen to FBI's requests?
Yeah, I am a bitter vet, and I am so damn happy I got out of that shit world called 'security'.
People were just too dumb, they always wanted to buy products to "make them safe", while they almost never wanted to invest into training, procedures, policies, etc.
And if you allow me to upload a zip file to your site, will you strip out the swf file that's prepended to it? This is key: It's still a perfectly-formatted zip file.
You may start checking for prepended swf files now, but you sure as hell weren't yesterday.
How exactly is this FUD?
Okay. You've just uploaded the ZIP file with SWF prepended.
Then what? How are you going to make my browser invoke it as a flash object?

Let me paint it for you - if they lied about this, I don't even want to think what the else lied about (or will lie about).

Why do they charge for the game itself AND the subscriptions? It feels like double dipping.
Maybe you should play a MMO like EVE Online, where you just pay a monthly subscription fee, and game and all expansions are free?
I am not ready to pay $30-$50 for any Ubisoft game, that I can play forever. I don't play their game at all, though.
Yet, I pay $30 for 2 EVE online accounts. Every month.
And that's why movies made in Hong Kong are for Western audiences instead of Chinese audiences. Most Chinese will pirate instead of pay.
I wonder if retards like you have ever been to a movie theater in Asia, for example?

Define common sense.
That is the whole point. Common sense can not be defined, and it can't be put into laws and regulations.
Common sense would be judge saying "Get lost" when case like this even comes to the court.
It is incredible that we have laws for everything, but judges are seemingly not allowed to simply use common sense.
