Why would I want to replace it? No DRM, works great, and I can burn shows I like onto DVD.
While it is very cool that you built a PVR, not everyone (like me) really wants to. There probably is no reason for you to ditch the PVR for a service. I have thought about building one myself, might be fun, but then I have to manage it.:-p But I would love to have a service where I could go back and watch shows when I want. I don't care about commercials. The break is a good time to talk to the wife, kick the dogs, take a pee. Hell, I don't find FF through commercials with my VCR a really good solution becuase then I have to look at them to know when to stop. Oye.
First, it ignores the possibility of the recipient creating a new account somewhere else. The market in recipient mailboxes is highly competitive because there's no reason for a recipient to only have one online identity.
Your assuming that people even want to have multiple email accounts. I will make the assumption that the majority of Inernet users have at most, two accounts. One provided by thier business and possibly one provided thier ISP, free account service, etc, for personal email.
I think the message here is if a sender is being blocked by an email provider provider like AOL or Hotmail, then chances are that is not enough to move "customers" to another provider and therefore market forces won't change the bahavior of customers.
Besides, you think that change your phone number is difficult, try changing your email address. Ugh.
Every software group that produces word processing documents seems to either be using or at least supporting ODF. Who supports Microsoft's format aside from Microsoft?
Standard, schmandards. The real question is who's productivity software (word processing, spread sheets, etc) does business use? A related question is what are the *costs* to business of switching to ODF? I used to use WordPerfect (I have since version 4.1) but I got tired of file format conversions with co-workers (yes, I did need clean conversion for all those plucky features like comments, edits, etc), so I switched to Office for work and home and I am one guy. I couldn't imagine trying to migrate to another format and recreate all the applications, tool, and corporate knowledge in Office products in some other suite.
Me thinks this is a PR move only and support for ODF will be forthcoming only if dictated by large customer body like the EU nations, but that support will be very, very limited.
I'm surprised that a programmer would not have the common sense to
disable active scripting for the internet at large, and only enable ActiveX and scripting for Trusted Sites.
Hrm, don't blame the victim. Sure, you can turn off active scripting (mainly javascript), but do you know how many sites fail to function properly without it and that is only going to get worse sith the rush to have more interactivity on the client? Think of all the hype around AJAX.
Nah, acripting in browsers (javascript, activeX, flash, showwave, etc) should be properly sandboxed so that they can't access system resources like the file system and execute commands. The problem lies with how IE is developed, not with a user regardless of thier knowledge level.
"You're on top of an exploding building, okay, so how do you not all die. It answers a bunch of those questions. It also raises some questions about what the G-Man's real role is in the Half-Life universe, so there are some surprises there for people"
So I am a big fan of Half-Life and Half-life 2. It's the only game I play when I have time, but I never got the story line. I think the Valve floks know how to make a fun (Ravenholm still gives me the creeps), interactive, addictive game, but the story line, such as it is, ain't too compelling. It's too bad too, because I think they did have an oppty to have a more interesting story in the game and the components seem to be available to provide more puzzle solving manilplate the world more.
A stunning victory for the Establishment and a horror show for private citizens everywhere. Welcome to 1984.
This was modded Interesting? C'mon, mod it Troll. It's not an Orwellian scenario when the firking users agree to using a service that doesn't hid the fact that deleted emails may be retained on back-up!
what would be the justification then?
most checking accounts with balances under 1000 never earn interest,,,
doesn't matter. They still have to report it and your account may make interest. I think last year my checking account accrued a whopping $120 which I duly reported as income.:P Ya know, to support the war and all that.
What is new is that apparently some companies are actually starting to get it.
You don't have to treat your employees like criminals in order to reduce the threat that an insider may pose. You just have to take rational approaches to tighten access.
Dude, get on the fan-boi band wagon. It doesn't matter if anything came before. If google does, it will be "better."
Seriously, this might be useful but I would definently want to encrypt that data. It still doesn't obviate the need for local back-ups. My data back-ups are routinely over 4GB is size. No way am I tranporting that up my stinking little DSL connection. But I could see a use for those few must have docs.

Everything you wanted to know about Visa's Cardholder Information Security Program.
Must be nice to have a lot of time on your hands. If I was to sit at work and read my FW logs all day and contact every ISP that probed my ports (That kind' sounds dirty) then I would probably be sitting in front of my PC 24x7.
Script it. Pseudo code to follow:
If (detect port scan) then do arin lookup; find abuse address OR assume (abuse@, NOC@, postmaster@) send email to address with logged entries. Log attempt.
I wrote something like this long ago but turned it off because of the amount of emails sent. But I could have just put in a counter to alert on the most egregious offenders like the SOB that attempted 2147 login attempts on my openssh server in a 10 minute time span.
those screenshots look amazing, however screenshots almost ALWAYS lok better than grafix...
Yeah, what kind of hardware do you need to get that kind of resolution? I have seen similar screen shots from other games, but never live. I want build a gaming machine and I want it cheap, fast, and reliable and I want all three.:)
I usually leave it on in my bag with netstumbler running. I always have my GPS with me -- on and next to the window (I've even taped it to the window on some trips).
Of first, why? Second, what kind of GPS you using? My Garmin GPSMap76 won't even get a lock or loses lock once we are zipping along at 400+ MP/H.
The "shelf space" battle will always tilt toward the console-playing, Best-Buy-shopping, mouth-breathing masses.
Not to be a dinosaur, but in the last 20 years, I have seen size of PC games shelf space cycle at least twice. The last big swell was when PC were selling like hot cakes a few years ago. I'd go into EB or even Walmart and somewhere like 75% of the shelf space was devoted to PC games. I think the problem now is that people aren't turning thier PC's as fast as they the "industry" thought they would. In addition, alot of modern games require some serious hardware like sound and viddeo cards that aren't always installed on units. So people don't buy the games because their machines won't run them. Christ, I have a pretty ripping laptop, but I can't play Quake on it.
I have to wonder, how many people in China are actually unaware of what happened there?
If their historical memory is anything like that of Americans, I'd say just about everybody...
Well, that is just a stupid response. I bet everyone in the US who watched the events unfold in Tianemann won't forget them. That is the power of the US press at work. Now you don't hear about the other 1000's of massacres and abridgements of freedom in the world here in the US becuase the major news outlets generally don't cover them. But that doesn't mean Americans will just forget.
That and the fact that several of the core developers actually live in Canada.
Both actually. In the 90's it was easier to import strong crypto into the US than export it. So alot of vendors who needed strong crypto in thier products, like VPN gateway vendors, moved out side the US so that they could sell to the US and to the rest of the world more easily. Also another reason why alot of cutting edge security shit comes out of non-US companies.
Yeah, but was it an 8086 Turbo? 10 Mhz or screaming fun. And yeah, there was a little orange button labeled "Turbo" that kicked the CPU from 4.77 Mhz to 10 Mhz. Oh, and a 10 MB hard drive.
At least the ones in the T and G series either don't have jumpers, or they are shipped with the jumpers set to enable. I have had to flash my BIOS a few times on different models and opening the case would have been a real hassle.

You can find the changes Activating ActiveX Controls.
Seems like some simple work arounds for newly developed applications. Hate to retrofit all the existing stuff out there.
Why would I want to replace it? No DRM, works great, and I can burn shows I like onto DVD.

Dude. Read the last 3 paragraphs. He's not exactly recommending you go buy this thing, just the opposite, he giving less pricy alternatives.

The exploit is a flop. The guy should get his money back.
:) Buyer beware!
Huh? It worked just dandy on all the machines I tested on. Well, at least the Metasploit WMF exploit mods did.
It's not the sellers fault those pesky white hat hackers discovered it so soon.
Jeff Forristal did a really good analysis of source code instection tools at Secure Enteprise Magazine.
