    And when those rips run out because they can't decode BD anymore?

    Gotta love UI features like this where it doesn't tell you about them.

  3. Re:Bug? on Left 4 Dead Bug Patched Quickly, EVE Exploit Takes 4 Years · · Score: 1

    Why is this a bug?
    Because it's not intended behaviour

    do XBox servers all have sv_cheats enabled

    No, see above.

    or is this deemed a bug becasue all servers on the xbox are hosted by players which could potentially enable/disable the cheats to their advantage?

    No, they're dedicated servers, as the article stated.

    So this is pretty much like every other social networking site where you have to pick a username?

    How about making it so ProcessMonitor actually fully unloads when you quit. Nothing is more aggravating then having to reboot because a lot of games consider it a hacking tool and refuse to run.

    But no body, no 1,000 pounds of steel, no bits of rubber, no airplane seat bits, just a few, highly flammable personal items (clothing, ID) that happens to have the name "Steve Fosset" on it.

    Who said it burned first? Maybe it broke apart and then burned. Maybe it didn't burn at all.

    Jeez, the first new waves of botnets are from the third world. Script kiddies and mass mailers will be so proud!

    Not really. You can't exactly scan an IPv6 range with the same efficiency as you can a IPv4 range. The chances of finding a live machine on the other end is really really really .... really small.

    Then that's a bad comic strip in my opinion. If I have to read more then 2-3 strips back to figure out wtf is going on then the author really chose the wrong medium.

    I shoudln't feed the troll but you obviously fail at common cents. (Yes that was intentional)

    $0.015 is equal to 1.5 cents.

    $1.00 is a dollar
    $0.10 is ten cents
    $0.01 is one cent
    $0.015 is 1.5 cents.

    I'll give your troll attempt 1/10

    Some people here will undoubtedly react in this topic, saying that this family "brought it onto themselves" or "should have read this or that".

    I'm saying I'm disgusted, utterly disgusted how these companies treat their customers. Why isn't there a procedure in place that calls the customer upon reaching some limit like $500 or $1000 and warns them?

    Since when did personal responsibility jump the shark? I mean yea it's not very nice of AT&T but jesus christ people stop blaming those Big Evil Corporations when you screw up.

    The AirCard allows users to connect to e-mail, the Internet and business applications while traveling, according to AT&T's Web site. On the Terry family's bill, they were charged international fees for the service.

    The Terry family said they asked an AT&T employee about the service before their son left the country. They said they were told nothing about international fees.

    Did they even ask about international fees?

    From the AT&T website about their plan.

    Included Data 5 GB
    Additional data $0.00048/KB

    So figure, $20k @ 1.5 cents a KB he transfered about a Gig. Looking at the video some of the sessions were a few hundred megs so I really can't find AT&T all that much at fault here that they didn't check the rates.

    A graduate of Virginia Tech (Phi Beta Kappa 2000), Brad has experience in systems administration, systems programming and IT management. Today, he primarily works on IT security reviews and writes programs such as Find_SSNs. Brad also assists with incident response, computer forensics, departmental database design and management, and works with students in the IT Security Lab as needed. He holds the SANS GCFA (computer forensics certification) and the GIAC STAR Payment Card Industry certificate.

    I think somebody needs their money back from their forensics certification.
