Points of fact: 1) He didn't hack any banks. He was working in a payment processing company that had monopoly in Iran. 2) The card numbers and pin numbers were kept in clear text in their internal systems 3) He did complain about it repeatedly to his bosses, who blew him off 4) He posted the pin numbers and account numbers to a blog. Pin numbers have some digits before and after; They are not quite usable in person. In order to use them online a second pin is required which was not posted. 5) the Payment processing center's license has been revoked, and all people are in panic trying to change their pin numbers. The only action all ATMs allow is pin change.
You need to write tests for your code so that testing can be fully automated, with the issuing of one command. If there are no ways to automate your testing, you need to write software that allows you to do that, and then use it. If it is useful enough, you can even sell that.
I am sure there are photos from that scene taken by foot-mobile element that got there. Showing your RPGs and stuff. I am waiting for it to show up. It won't.
I personally think the pilots/gunners were overeager and jumped into action way early. Like all other sting operations you'd see in your local TV show, it was better to establish intent from the people on the ground (Photographer and other people with AK-47) by just doing a fly-by and tempting them to take a shot at the helicopter. After they fire at the helicopters they would have been fair game. But shooting them before being fired upon is what caused this war to last longer than necessary.
Most of companies I've worked for/with don't have 'relocation' department; They simply outsource these stuff. chances are that this is a simple/deliberate miscommunication on the side company that does the outsourced job of relocating you. Talk to your recruiter about this. Spell it out for him/her; Be completely polite but precise and to the point. It did work for me.
Isn't this what Microsoft wanted SCO to do? (litigate the Linux back to the stone age). Guess they failed there and are retrying again, this time with Novell as their minion.
If dialup is that bad for you, why don't you get 4 or more phone lines and make a router that splits your packets across them; Do the same thing in your boss' home. There; you have a 256k line.
Dear Mr. McBride, The license I have with all of Linux distributions I've used in the past and am currently using, allow me to change the distro and sell it to my customers. It also allows me to configure 10000 users on a system that I own, and it comes with the full software set required for all people that I serve. Does your license allow that? Does your software do that? Also, I'd like to receive a free evaluation copy of OpenServer 6.0 to verify your claim: "I would challenge any kernel out there to match us head-to-head". Please contact me to get my address for software delivery. regards, Masoud
Being from land of mullahs, it is more than 6 figures, maybe around 9 figures or so. (4 million barrels of oil per day times 365, divided by maybe 3000 mullahs that rule the darned place).
For reverse engineering over the wire, he needs a server, and a client, and a tcpdump alike thing to see what is happening. That, according to my understanding of BK's license is prohibited. plain and simple. Now, it can be argued that he hadn't agreed to the license, but, pray tell me, how the hell he got access to a network port between client and server (which is kinda necessary in reverse engineering over the wire) in the first place?
Amen, brother! The problem is that how do you detect spam? I am not talking about blocking netblocks from, say, China or wherever. If one could do it in realtime, (during delivery that is), you could slow down and send 450 err code.
ISNA accepted funding from Palestinian militant groups. Hamas and Islamic Jihad helped sponsor the site, and consequently the site was sympathetic to their viewpoints - at times, even running banner ads.
Example?
ISNA advertised for fake charities. Several now-indicted or convicted fronts to radical groups were also major contributors to the site.
I've never seen what you are saying. Do you have links to their stories?
ISNA advocated the killing of innocent Americans.
Bullshit. Link?
As any Muslim knows, our faith and the Koran does NOT espouse violence against innocents. The ISNA site, on the other hand, frequently published and distributed hateful anti-American literature encouraging the forceful conversion or even murder of innocent Westerners.
This is the only shred of truth in the parent post. I wonder what moderators where doing when they read this. ISNA happens to be the only news site reporting about July 99 from the beginning, since most of its reporters are from students and they had much better reports than anyone else. They happen to be harrased by the government (or at least, the judicary branch and Tehran's District attorney), and now from their hosting company. Isn't politics fun?
Do you know why? Because their (acutally, our) courts don't respect international copyright laws. You could buy WindowsXP cdroms for $2, and around same price for Exchange servers. Now, we all know that MSFT doesn't give out security patches to servers with well-known stolen^W public serial numbers, so their servers remain unpatched, and the spam begins! Why use of stolen software? 1) it is cheap, and 2) They are under embargo from the Uncle Sam, so they can't buy support, say, from RedHat or Suse (Now part of Novell). looks like it works good for everyone, except Iranians, whose most of their young men are becoming drug addicts. Correction: Hard drug addicts.
Hey Pat, You have my best wishes and prayers. You made me a linux dude with the 60+ floppy version of slackware back in 94 (it had 1.0.9 kernel). Do not read slashdot (not for now anyway). You really should be resting and resting. Yours faithfully, --mas
Let this be another entry in the WAR ON series, after: War on drugs (with no results, other than taxpayer's money being spent) War on Terrorism (Sure, we are much safer now than we were in 90s, and Usama is still at large)
Sure they can. Check your congress' budget book and try to look for those 'missing' numbers.
NSA is known to try to implant backdoors inside commercial algorithms or prodcuts, with certain '3rd party' experts coming to your office and asking to help you 'strenghten' your algorithm. For a real life example of Cryto AG surrendering: Look here or Lotus notes .
It just makes it harder, not impossible. Remember, PGP/SSL/GnuPG is part of the solution to a secure communication channel. If your Private key is compromised (by any reason), you are toast.

That might explain the porn your your monitor, agent Smith. It cannot explain the lube on your desk.

Last I checked, Brits didn't use gunships in Northern Ireland.

The method to do this has been around for many years. It is called planting trees.

Heh, dude...
MSFT has around 60000 employees
Google has around 6000
MSFT has around $50B cash in bank
Google has around $10B (or 7? I don't remember)
Trust me, chairs ARE being thrown in MSFT.

And I thought 640k memory was enough for everyone. Wait a minute, was it me or...?
In other news, GNU/Linux still remains the biggest projects ever collaborated on the internet.
Let this be another entry in the WAR ON series, after:
War on drugs (with no results, other than taxpayer's money being spent)
War on Terrorism (Sure, we are much safer now than we were in 90s, and Usama is still at large)
I wonder where will THIS take us.

Apparently, in the previous versions, users were only able to email themselves.
