I run OpenVPN on one of my OpenBSD machines on a non-standard port, it's the only way to get in through my firewall (another OpenBSD machine). Once I've made my vpn connection, I can then ssh to the other machines on the network.
To the question at hand, if you can identify the ip address that the breach originated from, plug it into Network Solutions' whois lookup and you can usually find the ISP the ip is connected to. They usually have an abuse email account listed in their whois info. If they don't have info, try plugging the ip into RIPE or APNIC's whois database and report accordingly.
Branding is key to getting people to use the stuff you created (and that you -want- people to use, lest you keep your code on you own machines). Ease of use keeps people interested in what you're offering by making the barrier to entry low. Many, many otherwise good FOSS projects die because of these two things.
Take LMMS (http://lmms.sourceforge.net) for instance. I've been trying to use it for a while now, and I'm pretty much ready to submit a laundry list of changes to the project, starting with a name and/or logo change (I've already whipped up a sample logo if the name must remain LMMS). The majority of changes are for usability, making things that should be obvious to the user stand out more.
I've tried to get guys on various message boards to look at LMMS as another tool to consider for making music on a tight budget even though its really not as complete as the tool it mimics the most (FL Studio - http://www.image-line.com/documents/flstudio.html). Those that do try all complain about the same thing: Usability... And they hate the logo.
It's my belief that in order for Diaspora to attract more people, it needs to be named something that more people can pronounce properly and either understand what it means or don't need to know thanks to the name (i.e. Myspace was just that... My personal space for useless crap on the intarwebs). When Ilya Zhitomirskiy died, I ran across a number of people asking me about Diaspora... except many of these people couldn't pronounce the name with a good number of them simply calling it "some other social networking site". From those same people, you would be hard pressed to find even one that knew what the word means or even how it's spelled if you just asked them out of the blue... And these were some pretty intelligent people (engineers, SE, ME, EE, etc).
IMO, the name itself is a barrier to people getting on board for these two simple reasons... Unless that's the whole point.
Please tell me more. I have a Windows 7 PC but suppose it dies five years from now, and I need a replacement. I goto staples, but a Win8 PC, and then what? How do I downgrade it to Windows 7? It isn't on stores shelves anymore (and frankly I don't want to pay for Windows twice... once for 8 and again for 7).
Please educate me and everybody else. thx
You should have a license key for Win7 and install media; use that to reinstall it in 5 years.
At worst, you may have to burn a copy of the install DVD if you don't already have one. I had to do this with my Inspiron laptop, it has a key, but Dell didn't ship media but they include a method to burn it from a "recovery" partition.
true to a degree. By today's standards these games, visually anyways, are simply dated against even some smartphone games. However, one thing will remain true about them (as well as many games made in the 80's): They're far more challenging than many games available today.
Hats off to Psygnosis for making such an impression on you and everyone else that played SOTB. Whether it infuriated you or simply challenged you like none other before it ('cause SOTB2 was infinitely harder), you still remember it well.
grab an Amiga emulator, the roms for the three games I mentioned and play them (also include Shadow of the Beast 2 and 3). Come back and let us know if you still believe this.
Shadow of the Beast, The Killing Game Show, and Awesome were my favorite Atari ST and Amiga games ever. Stunning graphics (for the time), unparallelled music, great game play out of their games. RIP to the greatest studio of my youth.... BTW, has anyone ever completed Shadow of the Beast 2 WITHOUT using the "ten pints" cheat?
Considering that there are several European countries that have blanket bans on GMO crops, you might want to include them in your "Brainwashed people (especially Americans, due to their culture) can't be healed very easily." statement.
Counterfeiting is about trying to pass 1 product off as another. They certainly look alike but without trying to pass it off as an apple product it can't be counterfeiting.
There are some amazing counterfeits out there. A trip to any swap meet/flea market across the US will turn up some good (and terrible) counterfeit goods from Coach bags, Louboutin shoes, to Rolex watches.
The Chinese have mastered the art of counterfeiting goods (and, apparently, entire companies).
I could go on forever on this one. It's very well documented that in 1997 Apple was extremely close to bankruptcy (some speculate days away) when Steve Jobs, then brought back to Apple as an "interim CEO", negotiated with Bill Gates to have Microsoft invest in Apple to the tune of $150M.
In response to another article, I and several others brought up the LG KE850 (aka the LG PRada) as prior art with regards to the iPhone's design patents. The LG KE850 fits the bill for 35 U.S.C. 102(a) since it had been described in the press long before the iPhone's announcement.
Quite a few other devices can claim prior art under this.
The "Fisher Price" UI could be disabled very easily. The UI could go back to the win95-2000 look with only a few clicks (6 clicks to "Windows Classic" style, 5 to change the start menu back Classic). Apparently, this will no longer be the case here with Win8
Seriously... How stupid are we as an "intelligent" species that we don't rely on the massive oceans for our water supplies? Desalinate it, pump it, drink it. I'm really surprised that a multi-billion dollar industry hasn't popped up to make this happen all over to planet.
why is this news to anyone? Software is -always- shipped full of issues to meet a PM's deadline in order to say "See!!! We got it done on time!" to justify their salary and existence at the company. "Ship it now and fix it after the fact" (if at all) has been the mantra of in-house and commercial software for 20+ years.
"Mexico has so far slaughtered eight million chickens and vaccinated 66 million more in an effort to contain a bird flu outbreak in the west of the country"
Guess there's not much to worry about when I return to Cancun for some much needed rest.
I watch TopGear as often as I can thanks to BBC America (the original BBC version, not the wretched, bastardized, hillbilly, neck of red American version). I'm a fan of Jeremy Clarkson on the show, love his wit and overall disdain for American cars.

The license you speak of exists on *BSD. Still waiting for commercial apps there.

AC said "cite sources"
I cite sources and note that it's very well documented.
AC says something completely unrelated.
AC proves him/herself to be a toll.

reminds me of the late 80's and 90's where malware typically deleted your files and otherwise screwed up your computer.
