What stands out is that, in the US, your murderer will most likely be of the same artificial group than you.
I would guess that it means that people tend to stay among what they perceive as "themselves", and so that you are more likely to be murdered by people living close to you ?
Of all these murders, how many mugging going bad ? How many times was it by an aquaintance ?
On another note, I wonder if these statistics exist for hair color, or even eye color for that matter.
It would still feels weird with a mod 360... x being in N
1 360 129600 -> Zero (360^x) 1 360 720... -> Zero ((x==1)?1:0 + 359 * x... weird, I know, but I'm in an hurry. 1 360 719 -> 359 (1 + 359 * x) 1 360 361 -> One ((x + 1)& 1 + 360... I don't even see what the fourth number would be)
Sony called its PSX "PS One" when it was becoming obsolete. Maybe it's what they expect about this already low-middle range PC.
If the address you used for them is the only one that has got infected emails in a small time window...
Maybe they are affraid of their reputation. Maybe they are the one who sold the list. Maybe they just don't care.
It does not really matters : they failed to protect their custommers.
I also have used one email address made unique for each "service" contact for years. I don't even bother to complain anymore when something fishy happens : I simply overwrite all the (mostly already wrong) information for the benefit of their database then delete/disable the account and delete the email address. This also work wonders for "lesser" social contacts that may be... unenlighted... enough to forward a chain mail.
By the way, knowing the name of said provider would help your fellow geeks & nerds.
On the web site, the payment methods only display the last four. Are you telling me they kept the first four "just in case" ?
One could hope they store the last 4 four digits separately, and the full one in a place that can only be written and not read by the web site systems. But then, one could hope the one(s) responsible for this understand the basics of security.
And then again... first and last four ? How so ?
A) 1234-XXXX-XXXX-5678 ? Waste of space ? Really ? B) 12345678 ? Then why tell they are the first and last four digits ? Did the thief really needed more information on what he got ? C) 1234-9999-9999-5678 ? Call me paranoïd but given the "first and last" I can't help but think it's likely.
My subscription is cancelled already and I'm cancelling my credit card right now.
I don't understand why no group of (American) consumers has ever organized to buy a lot of product (ie: one each); then return said product because of the ridiculous EULA. After all you can only see it when you open the box. It should be printed all over, or readily available next to the boxes. Of course there is the risk that people would start to know what they are (blindly) agreeing to. (I expect some can actually read)
Can a shop reject the return of the game because of the EULA how would they justify it ?
I expect it's less of an issue with digital shops since a simple click could lead to an EULA that "nobody" would read.
Nowadays I feel EULAs are looking more and more like "you agree to give us money and we agree to take your money. The service, product, support,... may or may not work, exist and/or publish some private details of your live. It's not our problem, nor our fault.".
A language is easy to learn: you only need to know how to loop, how to branch, how to define/make/call a function, an object and its methods and you are basically set. What's less easy is the API: what are the tools, objects, functions, collections, IOs, whatever readily available to you with that language and does it cover what you are interested in. The difficulty here is that it's usually big, so at first it takes a while to find where is what you need.
Anyway that's not the issue here. First you have to think right. For this you should learn algorithmic (ie: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithmic ). Then only you can pick a language. Take one with garbage collection: Visual Basic, Java, C# and avoid scripting languages. When you will feel comfortable with one language the other ones should only require a minor effort.
The root will use DNSSEC ? So what ? It does not change a thing for anybody not wanting to take advantage of it.
_ one has to explicitely ask for the DNSSEC information to get it (it's a flag). Otherwise it's just a few more unused, somewhat heavy, records on the root zone files. _ there are not a lot of TLDs using DNSSEC. Granted there is at least one (.se) and probably some are ready to unroll it too but it will not be done in a day.
When more TLDs, registrars and registrants will be DNSSEC compliant and when the end user will switch to this then only we will be able to really feel the increase in bandwidth.
When asked for such a simple task, bad developers (and smart-asses) do it like this:
System.out.println("1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10");
Of course if you ask instead for a quick-sort implementation, or a median (especially after a quick-sort;) ), a RB-tree, an AVL-tree... then it's easier to identify the losers.
The controller just looks like a controller. If you zoom the 6 small shots you'll see it's different (and I would not pay 1 cent for the Datel one) It has bumps and flats where the MS one is all splines. It looks very cheap. Looking at it I get a "Chinese crap" feedback.
Do I understand correctly that Verisign has been corrupted ? If it is true, it means that Verisign authentifed certificate aren't worth zlicht. It's a good thing removing a CA from the CA root is a simple enough thing to do.
I'm particulary glad my "secured" sites are using a CA I generated (on a non-networked computer) and that I distributed to the users.
Yes, ridiculous enough level to put me off TV already. (16 years and counting)
I also make a point avoiding labels whose ads were: _ a sing-song _ insultingly stupid _ misleading (ie: "This TV uses 30% less power!"... ok ? than what ?) _ heard too often (more than a couple of times a day)
To make them "pay" does not cover all the annoyance but it helps.
The day I start to see obnoxious/too much advertisement in a game is the last day I buy a game of that company. The day they all do it is the last day I buy a game. I'll do reruns of the last 25 years instead.
To clear-up and guess "details" in such a manner that a picture, wave, music, whatever can be seen or heard more easily by a human is very nice. Good for old pictures and sounds. I can even buy garbled culprit face reconstruction as long as it cannot be used as proof in a court. This sounds like a new, must-have, expensive, photoshop/gimp filter and congratulations.
But...
Anybody doing anything serious would use a secure, ciphered, way of communication. Not clear text, clear waves, or screen fonts/colors easy to "measure" electromagnetically from afar. So the eavesdropping enemy communication does not, in my humble opinion, hold. (Maybe a century ago)
And last but not least. The bigger issue is that it does not show the most important thing: reality. Nobody can create reality from a subset. You can be smart as a monkey* but you can only guess, presume, imagine what's missing. If an MRI is taken from any part of my body, I want ALL the REAL dots there. Even one missing dot could actually be something serious (Will it be guessed ? Not guessed ? Just my luck.). And a wrongly guessed one could make me panic enough to give me a serious heart condition. So no thank you.
A DNSKEY is put at the top of the zone. (ie: yourdomain.tld. IN DNSKEY blablablablabla) Your server is supposed to be authenticated using some other mean. (ie: X509 certs for https servers & cie)
Please also note that there are no "certificates" for DNSSEC, only very basic key pairs:
_ Generate your zone-signing keypair (rsa/dsa) and/or your key-singing keypair (idem). Generate them for the algorithms used in the zone (hopefully NSEC3, else NSEC and its damn zone-walk issue) _ Put the public key record into your zone file and sign the zone (opt-out or not) _ Give the public key digest (or public key, depending on the TLD's policy) to the registrar (So it can obtain the DS record for your domain)
Done: the DS on the TLD will be the link with your domain's key(s). Note that the TLD will be trusted because either the key is "known" either it is authenticated by '.' whose key will be "known".
Note that the chain will only be complete when '.' will be signed.
I had Windows 7 installed on my Mac Book Pro/bootcamp for a few months now. After the last bootcamp update Windows 7 crashed and self-destructed ("the installed windows os version does not match blablabla..."). None of the repair solution worked : I had to re-install it from scratch.
Atheism is the belief there is no god or gods. Hence it is a kind of religion. Agnosticism is the absence of belief whatsoever. You don't belive there is (a/many/no) god(s).
I find puns on mixed langages... difficult. So a "viola" in english is a "viole"... right. Still, that "oi" inversion erro is common. I doubt much people have that kind of humor. (As for it to be funny or not... well... to each is own ^_^ )

What the hell is wrong with their numbering conventions? They went from Xbox 360 to Xbox 1? Are they starting all over again from version 1?
No, they just switched to a mod 360 versioning system.
Then it should be Xbox Zero

Let's go wild : add a story to the bundle. Something to link all that pointless "action" together.
A bit avant-garde maybe ?
Wohoo !

I just see the game screen but cannot do a thing. (I don't have many add-ons)
Works fine with Opera.
