You are correct and my statement was for the sake of humor and to express my frustration with the courts decision. I am not unhappy with the result (invalid TOS) but the reasoning. Any TOS that is such a bunch inherently ununderstandable legalese should be invalid per se.
A post from Cpt. Obvious. I guess you will be hard pressed to find people on Slashdot who actually think the Klout score really says something about another person.
The purpose of the Klout score is, that some day people somehow will pay Klout for increasing their Klout score;-).
No one knows what the regime will do next, not us and neither the people they supposedly govern. Structured like they are, such governments become a cesspit of intrigue and internal struggles. This event has the certain smell of infighting. Just look up the sorry excuse of a statement about the "involuntary" block. ï
Does the EU require a 2 year warranty on calendars? How does that work?
Usually well;-).
In the first six months, any burden of proof is on the side of the vendor. So unless it's obvious that it wasn't used according to the specs, replacement is painless.
After six months, the burden of prood switches over to the buyer. Which may be a hassle, but doesn't need to be.
The possibility raises questions about Microsoft [...] as well as about the ethics of the zero day exploit market.
You're kidding me, right? You expect ethics on a market whose primary customers are spies and criminals? Selling to manufacturer is only the sale of the last resort.....
The answer depends on what you do hope to achieve by reporting.
If you hope the people to stop:
In case the origin is a company within you country, contacting them may you do some good. They will pull the plug on their malware infested machine. Attacker will use others.
In all other cases the only chance to have any kind of effect is to report dramatic damages to the law enforcement. Other than that, nobody cares enough;-). Even with dramatic damages, the chances for any effect are slim to none.
IMHO: In 90+% of all cases the answer is/dev/null the economical best answer.
A man comes with Chicken McNuggets to a veterinarian and says "Doctor, Doctor, isn't there anything you can do?"
Seriously: Any infected PC should be treated as it would contain contact poison. I would at least low format the hard disk and completely rebuild the system. In doubt i would rather loose data than allowing the infection to spread.
Olympia has long since ceased to be a sports event. This is entertainment delivered by modern day gladiators who sacrifice health and life in a quest for money and immoratility through fame.....
I agree, the word "hard" and "Sudoku" should not be used in the same sentence. When i still gave coding lessons, i used "solving Sudoku" as an easy example right after "Hello world".
You're right, but if i can pull a joke by simplifying Buddhism or Christianity, i always will. Sorry! I can only promise that i will pull no punches for any religion;-).
If the Buddhists are right, some patent lawyers and company executives are looking forward to an reincarnation as a pile of petrified sh*t at the bottom of the ocean.ï
There is no way they can make up that amount of bad karma.

Well, beggars can't be choosers ;-)
Reasonably capable general is on the market :-)
Does alcohol help you driving better?

In the future we will have to read those 36 pages of legalese and complete a test on it....

The question reminds a of an old joke:
A man comes with Chicken McNuggets to a veterinarian and says "Doctor, Doctor, isn't there anything you can do?"
Seriously: Any infected PC should be treated as it would contain contact poison. I would at least low format the hard disk and completely rebuild the system. In doubt i would rather loose data than allowing the infection to spread.
Take this you d*mn Yankees and get a tast on how it feels to watch "Game of Thrones" months later or through a TBP-proxy ;-).
Jackson would have liked to take material from the Silmarillion. But he didn't get the rights. The Tolkien estate doesn't like his movies...
Now they have a new space suite, they must travel ;-).
I think 90+% of all failed projects started with a great presentation. Bad presentations don't start projects ;-).
The right to arm bears shall not be restricted....
A good joke always brightens my mood and relaxes me which helps me to sleep better.
My experiences with a QNAP TS-459U-SP+ are quite good. With the QPKG-Extensions, you even get non-standard services installed.
I would still recommend to have a small 19 inch rack (on wheels) for noise protection and to have some space for expansion.

When did he do his last google search?
Must be some time, otherwise he might have found Firewalls from "traditional vendors" integrated into the Hypervisor like https://www.checkpoint.com/products/security-gateway-virtual-edition/index.html
The product is on the market for some years now....
Have you ever had automated something? This happens even in the consumer world and where the command-line comes in ;-).
Probably reacting to a flamebait i shouldn't reply to....
