Actually, come to think of it, if TI loses on this one, I'm quite eager to start 'testing' satellite TV signals again... After all, it's just some keys used for signing, right? I purchased my hardware receiver for money, right? Quite the slippery slope, isn't it?
Yes. Finding keys on smartcards in order to watch TV program you haven't paid for is the same as finding keys on a calculator so you can put your software on it.
So, I am thinking these days to buy a console. Can't really decide.
PS3: nice little thing, has overheating problems, and update bricks it. I will love giving money for that. Wii: nice little thing. Update bricks it. I will love giving money for that. Xbox360: nice little thing. 54% of Xbox360 consoles had a problem (rrod, etc). Heats like crazy, and there is a high chance it'll die within a year. I will love giving money for that.
The major difference between our service and theirs is that our plans aren't rated by data transferred per month. In the EU, Japan, even Australia, end users have 5G, 10G, 25G plans et al. We're "unlimited" in the sense that we could download every minute of every day of a month and with the exception of being throttled (by either the company or our flatmates) could hit theoretical maximums well outside the financial means of these international customers.
So, you've never been to Europe. But you feel comfortable talking about it.
Guess I should call my ISP and tell them that 10Mbps flat-rage package I have does not actually exist...
I wanted to get back to contracting and do some more security work, because I miss it.
I was stunned by the fact that so many companies are now not looking for professionals with low-level experience, like before, but rather for people who have experience in paperwork. ITIL, ISO xxxxx, bla, bla, bla.
It's as if people are not actually DOING security anymore, but are just writing and debating about it.
No wonder they have budget issues, when they don't know what they're doing, so they need to spend lots of money to cover it.
And you get what you pay for. Like bugs guaranteed to put you at risk for losing saved data, discovered in beta, but released anyway without being fixed. The mother fuckers responsible should have lost their job... oh wait, it's open source.
I can't wait for you to tell me how many Microsoft (or any other vendor's) programmers have lost their jobs because they introduced a bug that ended up being remotely exploitable (thus getting hundreds of thousands of computers at risk). That's just an example.
1/ don't speed and there's no picture taken so no invasion of your privacy 2/ unfairly ticketed ? if there's a picture as proof I'd say it's fair you get a ticket..
Especially if they tampered with lights timing, so yellow light would last 500ms, for example.
If they knew which domain(s) worm will contact for updates, why didn't they ("authorities", let's say) give worm the updates? They could've disabled it or do million other things.
People still fileshare? Everything I want to listen to and watch can be streamed now. Thanks to Hulu and Netflix and iTunes I can get the latest movies and just about everything else! The costs for these activities are no longer prohibitive.
iran doesnt invade any country actively, but they invade them through the religious terorrist organizations they fund. hezbollah, hamas, ibda-c, numerous groups trying to invade pakistan, afghanistan are just a few.
much more annoying and dangerous.
And how is that worse than USA, for example, who invade countries actively/directly, and also push their vision of "democracy" onto victim countries?
Sorry, I don't like USA or Iran, but USA scares me more than Iran, when it comes to "threatening my security or way of life".
Well, with Bush it was certainly scary, let's hope Obama will change direction in which USA was heading...
I took a 4-5 year "break" from security (switched to other areas, kept 'in touch' with my first love;), because it really turned into all these things mentioned in the article.
I'm now looking to come back, I can't even imagine how it's going to look like in corporate environment, but something tells me I'll be disappointed:(

Few months ago, I wanted to watch a certain (older movie). I could buy it on DVD for 1 EUR (it's like 10 years old movie:).
However, I rented that same movie and made a copy, just kept the main movie.
Simply because original DVD has annoying ads and warnings and shit that I do NOT want to be forced to watch.
There you go RIAA/MPAA/FUCKYOUAA, I basically pirated a movie just because you're annoying as fuck with your warnings and ads. My brain hurts when I watch those retarded warnings and ads, and if there is any way I can skip them - I'll do it.

Windows 7 is another proof that enough marketing can make something good.
Windows 7, Windows 7, Windows 7, ...
I yet have to find someone who can show me what it brings me, over XP, that is worth paying 100+ EUR for.

Man, you are a fucking genius.
What the hell is this piece of shit, called "article"?
Using social engineering to obtain Xbox account details?
Oh my God, I would have NEVER thought something like that could happen.

What the fuck happened to consoles?
I don't like Microsoft practices and/or products, but I am happy they won this one.
I hate retards more than I hate Microsoft...

I guess this could mean that GSM operators can snoop on conversations made over their network.
Or fixed phone operators can listen to conversations made over their network.

Please, enlighten me...
So, even retards like this can get a job at Gartner.
Guess he never saw anything else than his home laptop.
I also go back to the old x25 datacomm days. so I thought 'huh, what? x25 is coming back??'
what a poor choice of names. clearly, intel has some VERY young people working there that have no idea about past things by the same name.
(admittedly, x25 was not as popular in the US as, say, europe)
o/\o X.25 buddies
The VPN mentioned is kinda bizarre if you think about it.
It's bizzare that you have no idea what the purpose of VPN is (in this case).
RIAA/MPAA will be sending notices to owners of IP ranges like 192.168.0.0/16, 10.0.0.0/8, 172.18.16.0/12.

I must be dumb.

Yes, everyone is living in the United States.
Nice to see at least something coming out of that region of the world nowadays that has no relation to terrorists or nukes.
Yeah. That region NEVER had anything good come out of it.
You are a fucking retard with absolutely no knowledge of history.
i'm not seeing how MS has done you wrong. use the app as licensed. this is like criminals whining about people putting better locks on their houses.
Were you born stupid?
I can't count number of time I've recommended usage of mod_security in order to prevent these types of crap.
I can count, though, number of times people implemented it: 0.

Failure to address the real issues (corruption, economy, etc) plaguing your society? Check.
Playing up a sense of extreme national pride, isolation and bullheadedness? Double check.
Burning a bridge? Triple check.
Putin, you would have made a fine leader during the Cold War for either side.
I'm sorry - what country are you talking about, because quite few fit into this profile.

So, they'll have free drinks, chit-chat for a while, and nothing will change.
They pretty much managed to make dialogs and all the other shit look like it's rendered through a browser engine.
Is that the "future" of "visual candy"?
