* Collective Soul are signed to Atlantic, a member of the RIAA.
No longer they finished their contract and decide to start their own label completely financing their own albums and releases. [url]http://elmusicgroup.com/%5B/url%5D
All I can say is thank God I build all my own systems, forcing people to buy something they don't want is a really unethical extortion racket, if I need to buy any prebuilt machine in the future I will always take the time to look for that 5% of dealers that will not make me purchase an OS.
Does a move like this do anything to effect all the current antitrust cases?
TFA:
We want to urge all system builders -- indeed, all Partners -- not to supply naked PCs. It is a risk to your customers and a risk to your business
I dont see why you'd get more than one album for yourself
2 reasons firstly, I keep one copy in my car and one in my house, secondly, the album was self financed I wanted to do what I could to support the band.
Not being a troll, but you should maybe use a bit more punctuation
I know, I know, I am dyslexic sometimes I have trouble with punctuation, however, I will make more of an effort in the future:p
I haven't ever really understood what the RIAA hopes to achieve from all their lawsuits and extortion rackets, I mean all they are doing is alienating their core market the way they have been going recently I can't wait for someone to make a stand against them in court.
I download music from the internet quite frequently, if I like the song I have downloaded I will usually buy the album if I don't like it I delete it, does this mean I am commiting a crime? In my case p2p has caused my to buy more cds than I usually would have if I hadn't of been exposed to certain artists and songs. Is this common I really don't know perhaps other people don't purchase cds by artists they like personally I like to support musicians I like.
One great example my favorite group collective soul release an album entirely self financed, the day it was released I was able to find tracks on p2p which I downloaded and listened to constantly, until my next paycheck came through at which point I went out and purchased 5 copies of the album 2 for me 3 for various family members, I did the same with two of their previous albums, I own every single album they have release in some cases more than one copy of the album, it gets interesting when you consider I discovered this group through p2p in the first place.
There is a reason for this, google is a superior searchengine, putting aside the regular flamewars on 'evil or not' they offer a better service than their competitors, this is why they are continuing to grow, additionally basically everywhere you look you see something related to google these days, even the whole china upcry, all publicity is good publicity.
The reason for growth with the other sites is because of basic marketing treads they are cool, they are new, myspace has grown because they offered a unique service that people picked up on, blogging is also a major area of growth the fact that blogger.com is tied to google is a likely reason why they are going better than a lot of their competitors, as for wikipedia, it is a one stop shop for all your information needs that and it has a great google ranking it is an unsual day for me to perform a search on something contained in wikipedia and not have that entry returned on the first page.
Pretty much everything in this article seems to be a complete rehash of things most web developers should already know, you should always be checking for possible xss/css problems, you should never depend on a cookie, never provide more information to the user than they absolutely require, always treat all input as tainted until it has been correctly validated, just because this article relates to a new technology doesn't mean it is refering to new vulnerabilities.
I am sure that some people can learn a little about security from this article but if you learn anything new reading this, you should go to any sites you have written in the past and take them down right away because chances are you already have a security hole. I recall quite recently a friend of mine was quite shocked that his AJAX application could perform sql injection attacks on his database, on looking at his code he was entirely trusting everything that came to it, I almost slapped him for that mistake.
I think I should take the time to do this, this year I will write a program for linux and make it run slow on windows.........oh wait it does that anyway.

Yep that would be it, good point well presented. But on the subject of paying attention (as you said TFA), 454080 vs 850968 new?
I can see their point, there are other ways to get around this problem and other tools available to people. OpenSSH is a secure project every feature you add is another potential security hole, so really is makes sense for them to refuse to add this feature, in other instances where there is no other way to workaround this problem the developers would willingly add the code to the project but this particular case has other solutions.

My concern is more along the lines of what they think they have learnt, yes I already know my networks are basically secure I know breaking into my networks is going to get most people prison time (DoD), however, I don't want the people going on these course to think they know something and start attempting to break into my networks and end up throwing packets at my networks causing me to have to spend even more time assessing for real threats, hence my original statement "script kiddies / real hacker".
Thinking you know something is wayyyyy more dangerous than actually knowing something.

I didn't see anywhere that mentioned any kind of entry requirements to get on the program, hopefully they will require company sponsorship to get on the course or else anyone that can get together the cash can learn these techniques.

Is this really news? seems to me it is a lot like saying, MS says the sky is blue.
There is so much malware out there that bypasses antivirus and spyware checkers, case in point when I used to use windows (I moved to Gentoo/Solaris 10 about 3 months ago) I was running ClamAV, and Norton AV, additionally I had 2 spyware checkers, all these products updated every night.
One morning I executed a crack program (I know but I was half asleep, oh and before people start complaining that I shouldn't use the crack, I purchased the software but it requires activation everytime you reinstall your machine and they won't supply a key after 10 reinstalls) my machine was infected right away with spyware and adware all through the system, my virus checkers didn't catch it, my spyware checkers didn't catch it, I was running all the anti-malware applications I could trying to clean the system nothing was working I was manually cleaning the registry. In the end I had to reinstall the system. I have a pretty secure network my PC had all the protection I could reasonably use but still I was heavily infected the only cure a complete reinstall.

Seriously though as someone working in government IT I see lots of places where security is very much lacking, money needs to be put into securing government IT systems right now as the recent articles on security at the DoJ shows. Investing in anything IT related but internal security is just stupid.
Cool lets get some of these sent to Nigeria so we can get some more 419 scams going on, I really could use a share in $10 million just for helping to move the money. This really works out as a winning situation for everyone, cheap computers for developing nations, Intel makes money, and I get some of the money left by a rich former head of state, hopefully I will get more invitations to be involved.
I don't think so. There are larger and better organized databases out there that already for sale. This is just a power trip thing. Nothing new
This is true but any information they add is just going to provide better resolution to the information they already have, they may already have more information in other better organised databases but by adding more information to those databases they end up with the ability to build better more detailed profiles.
Does anyone else find that the current trend by the government to collect any and all information they can to be a little spooky, the recent fuss about the NSA phone taps on US citizens sanctioned by the president, all these attempts to get information on peoples internet habits from search engines and ISP's. It is easy to say but think about the children, or think about the terrorists and any other sugar coating they decide to place on it, but the end result is the government is building a very large database of information on US citizens.
Seriously even if this online child protection act fails they still have all the information they are requesting, what is to stop this information being cross indexed with the phone tap information, and credit information and anything else they may be gathering end result a rather worrying profile of a large cross section of the US population.
I am usually not a paranoid person I don't subscribe to most conspiracy theories but this is a rather worrying invasion of personal privacy, at this rate bring in a few psychiatrists to review the files they are building on you and build a profile next thing you know you get a knock on the door from the feds arresting you because your physiological profile indicates a possible threat to the internal security of the US in the future, because of your worrying desire to take a vacation in Eygpt and since Eygpt is a mostly islamic nation you must be a terrorist.

There is information here
Damn you are so right, because I am risking my customers and my business by selling 5% less copies of their products for them.
The veiled comes into effect because it could be interpreted as a threat, I took the section I considered to be the threat.
