The monumental amount of stupi-....one of the first things a 'hacker' does when launching an attack is obscure their origins. They use someone else's machine, like a University's, or a Hospital's, or even one owned by the Department of Defense. And you want to hand people a license to f*ck up what they 'think' (and I use that word broadly here) might be attacking them? How is the DoD going to react to Pfizer launching an all out assault on them because they 'think' an attack is coming from some DoD machines?
It takes weeks, months, possibly more to track down the owners of Botnets, from which Distributed Denial of Service attacks may be launched from zombified machines. That requires investigation, international at times.
And we don't need any laws for what is already an illegal practice.
I disagree. Firefox, built on the ruins of Mozilla Seamonkey, built on the ruins of Netscape Navigator (and, as an aside, most of Mozilla's stuff being built on the ruins of the Netscape Communicator suite), was \ is an attempt to flee the madness that was Internet Explorer (from a security and stability, also feature, standpoint).
Pretty much. What's happening with Firefox is what has been happening with the rest of the tech industry (albeit with a different 'leaders'). Who has been leading design for hardware for quite some time, to the great annoyance of many? Apple. Apple takes away the 3.5mm audio jack, and everyone else thinks it's a grand idea. Same here with browser design -> Google simplifies their design, and Firefox decides "Yeah, let's pitch {popular feature} overboard."
Someone needs to hold a group session at Mozilla, and ask them why Firefox (the browser) was created. Then take a snapshot of the blank stares, and upload it to their front page.
Hush, you're not seeing the advantage of this situation. People who have trouble operating a toaster will finally be stripped of their license to pilot a large, fast deathmobile (said innerworkings they understand possibly less of than their home PC). They'll need to get an A+ certification just to drive during daylight hours.
What this means is: in five years, only techs will be driving vehicles; everyone else will be on bikes.
Please no. The day I saw a service to translate.Net calls into COBOL lookups (or whatever they're called), I died a little inside. We don't need the future of the human race to end with the explosion of a vacuum tube, no matter how high the frothing-at-the-mouth accountant's calculated ROI might be.
Even the AlphaServer I have has been switched over to SSDs and Gentoo Linux (with all the fun that brings).
Yes, but this is Apple we are talking about. The i9 will probably not happen for a long, long time, if ever, just because cooling it would make their laptops that much thicker.
Sounds awesome. Intel is getting ready to launch its Core i9-series to compete with AMD's Ryzen 9, aaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnddddddddd Apple will be featuring neither. Tip your stock broker accordingly.
From the article (because the summary sounds insane -> if MS has found a way to keep Shadow Volume copies of files after a full disk wipe, the Pentagon needs to know about this), it sounds like he was running something akin to selective cleaning (i.e. CC Cleaner). The OS and other applications remained, while personal data was removed.
*Double-checks the periodic table and inventory* Uh, isn't this one of those elements we are chronically in short supply of? I mean, one hand, an increase in demand can lead to an increase in supply, but on the other hand...fairly certain we were restricting use of this one to building satellites & that kind of stuff...or with our movement back to coal as an energy source do we no longer care about that?
Not saying they aren't (probably are, everyone else is), but let's put it this way: "All those who believe they have an uncrackable product / network / service, take one step forward."
You'll notice the smarter / older people taking a step back when they hear that.
Right. So, they don't actually know what has been acting as a reservoir for the disease. This is similar to Ebola (pick a strain): the reservoir is bats! No, it's monkeys! No, it's in the water! Wait...
Most (if not all) RSS clients suck. I'm receiving stuff that normally would be found in a newspaper, why is there no option for a newspaper display option (Columns, pictures, organized with the headlines and first several lines to paragraphs with a link to continue reading more on something that catches your eye?)? Then there's the other problem: there is no standard for what is published via RSS: if I want to put together a page filled only with the latest comics from the web, Dilbert might publish just the image of their latest comic, while TheLeastICouldDo might publish a blog post (and somewhere in there is the comic I am looking for)...meaning I have to bust out the RegEx toolkit just to begin cleaning things up.
Relevant information, more signal, less noise. This the code by which all communication methods prosper and die.
Well, Venus does have (a) magnetosphere(s). More importantly, Venus is as close (in terms to mass and orbit) to Earth's twin as we are going to get.
Granted the atmosphere, in terms of pressure alone, will kill you; however, if we can devise a runaway method for trapping some of those gases into a more solid form...we could have a new planet to play with in a relatively short period of time. So ask yourself, what reusable catalyst would we need to create to transform that atmosphere into something a little more human friendly?

Agreed. Algorithms are made by man, and as such, are fallible; that they involve math / programming (Magic) merely obscures their origin.
Look, it makes for an easier prosecution if people believe they have rights that they do not, in fact, have.

Hmmm. I've read this book, and it doesn't end well.

In this case, I believe the 3 AM Vuvuzela Orchestra in D-minor outside their bedroom window is more appropriate.

As has been said before: Anything that is not forbidden is mandatory.
And to that degree, I envy the dead. They have seen the last of advertising, and all the subversion that goes with it.

Any CPU is a laptop CPU if you attach a large enough battery to it. -> Net Admin 101

Dowload? Guys, if you aren't even going to spellcheck the headline...
But that social network movie tho
You know, these pork ribs you made are the bomb. What's your secret?

Are we stuck in a time loop? I feel we've done this before.
