These aren't tricks. Tricks are for kids. Dogs do tricks. I've met some stellar Magicians who have spent decades perfecting their own illusions and they call these effects. Some actually can become hostile to the suggestion of tricks. They may be forgiving, but I've met many masters who burn up inside. It's like calling a psychologist a shrink.
I never like it when people suggest pirating software as a form of protest, if you think the DRM is too intrusive, don't buy the game at all.
Isn't applying no-CD cracks a form or protest? If you irreparably scratch or damage your game disc and still have it installed, you either go out and buy a new copy to play or uninstall it, right?
Investigating a compromised system is one thing. I believe the GP was more about discovering that the system is compromised in the first place.
Precisely -- the system was immediately shut down, contents imaged and further investigation was done outside of that environment. I simply lucked out. This individual was sloppy and I found the rootkit later.
It's not their job, but it makes me more comfortable when they take a global stance against oppressive governments so they hopefully continue to keep me in the loop with my own.
My local PBS station carries Mhz Worldview which carries Russia Today, Al Jazeera, France 25 and NHK World broadcasts. I welcome this move.
Hopefully we won't bomb their headquarters again like we did in Iraq. I can honestly say I get better, factual news from international sources about my own country than what CNN/MSNBC/Fox/ABC/CBS provides. It's pretty easy to see where the blackouts are when all the US networks won't cover one story but the international networks do.
Yet people are still pissed off because AJZ played Osama Bin Laden videos? I for one wanted to hear what he had to say. I think Americans deserve to hear all perspectives.
True story with the WDTV Live. After a year, firmware updates stopped, except the last one which removed defunct services and tried to throw on a more feature-rich Youtube module which it could not handle, causing them to constantly freeze.

Remind me again what rights of other individuals Aaron violated?

I heard you like phones, so we put a phone in your phone so you can talk while you talk.

I got lucky, and I know the inherent risks of doing such.
I cleaned up an a backdoored Debian system after discovering md5 sum mismatches on all the ssh binaries from the original packages some time ago.
debsums is a nice utility to check this for you, granted that the attackers didn't modify the signing keys and installed their own package.
The south shall rise again!
Finally someone found a practical use for those old Cobalt servers.

One specific slot machine with a theme (like cats) with a casino of many other machines with the exact same odds, but good point.
How is that any different than a person who invests hundreds into a particular slot machine, then gets upset that it gets replaced for something else?
Actually the values were simply toggled.
Put them in adult-only gaming pools. Problem solved. Who the hell wants to play against 13 year olds anyway?
I miss the days of having a pager. I'll turn on my cell phone if I want to make my location known to call a person back.
Half off on copyright infringement if you capture it in the theater at 24fps?

A modern TV is just a big computer monitor.
With a tuner, speakers and more inputs.
Worked for Snake. The Playstation Controller was essential to make it happen.
Why is the ingenuity of Islamic extremist Syrian rebels praised but when the Islamic extremist Palestinians do it, it's an outrage?
There have been bot nets that have used Bittorrent DHT too, so should we shut that down as well?
I liked it when it was Quakespy better. One game, worked 100% as advertised, and filled a desperately needed feature that we now take for granted.
