The proposed ACTA is far more restrictive than the current copyright/patent/trademark fiasco we have now. If people found out what the companies were trying to force down our throats, there'd be an uprising.
Which is why they don't want it released.
As an Alaskan, I'm appalled by what my neighbors to the south are doing. Also, as a natural-born Alaskan, I'm so glad that (import) Sarah Palin is no longer here. May she stay away forever.
...and another 'I' dotted in Oracle's plan to kill off Solaris, and force Linux as their high-end product.
I only have one Solaris server left, and I'm rapidly losing any real need to keep using it. In fact, I will probably end up migrating off of Solaris this year, just to be done with it.
Linux works just fine on my Sparc hardware, even my Ultra Enterprise 2, which hasn't seen upgrades or replacement parts in over 10 years. (and why it's still up and running, I don't know...)
If they're not gonna sanitize or validate, then why should i give them sanitized and validated data?
Additionally, there's no information on where their servers are located. So, the 311ms rtt is a huge disservice. Especially given that there's no indication on load at their end.
All in all, it's a POC, and i wouldn't trust the data as far as I could throw it.
But only because you haven't figured out that parents pass their genes on to their children, and that prior samples might be matched against 'new blood'
The great thing about a serial console is that it doesn't take long to figure it out. And you only need 3 wires to get there. Another nice thing about it is that it's point-to-point, so you don't have to worry about your signals getting lost.
Heck, you can create a serial interface from discrete components if you're really into fun.
So use your serial console for what it's intended to be used for: emergencies and initial configurations.
she said she went to school yesterday, but my best friend Mike who says he's in her class didn't see her at all, and that she hasn't taught class all week..
Doesn't, at first glance, see that all of these files aren't being placed there willy-nilly. Their computers are being targeted with simple malware, and the fine folks behind the malware find all of these fun and neat files and place them online for the rest of the world to see.
Also, making illegal the "non-user aware placement of software" ?? doesn't really need yet another law to do what is already illegal.
They just want the P2P buzzword, which does nothing.
Computer experts really need to get the message and the learning out that P2P is a misnomer, and that they need to take responsibility for the security of their own computes.
Oh, wait, personal responsibility? That's un-mer'can.

Different people can handle different levels of distraction. This is proven.
So, there should be tests. Depending on your score, you get to have (or not have) certain things in your vehicle, like radios, heaters, people, pets, phones, etc.
Really, some folks should not be on the road, even if all they're doing is 10-and-2, eyes sweeping.
From the standpoint of (an) IndieArtist -- They don't have a team of lawyers or sub-sub-contractors trolling youtube videos looking for so-called infringments.
So the only way that they would find out is by somebody else reporting it, randomly stumbling across a video, or by purposefully searching for their song titles.
In any case, IndieArtist would have to read up on DMCA takedown actions and responsibilities, because TANAL. Hopefully, before sending out any such takedown requests, they've actually spoken to a lawyer-friend to get advice.
At the very least, they would have had to "done their homework" and viewed the videos looking for infringing materials. But again, the concept of infringement to IndieArtist may be subtly different: Propagating their song by fan-made tribute videos can only increase their exposure, so unless they're really trying to stop something from getting out of hand, chances are they're going to "let it ride," or at the very least, contact the poster of the video and ask them nicely to remove it, or hey! "buy the CD if you haven't already."

Dammit, /., i'm logged in. why did you post me as AC?
Sigh.
Whatever.
I've done this as an Information Security person. Get a report, validate, pass it on to the cops and FBI.
Not fun at all.
Glad it's 10 years behind me.
Sure, if it's open source, then one paying customer can take the source and fork it back out to everybody else for gratis.
That's what open source means.
Trying to disguise commercially licensed software as open source is setting yourself up for failure.
Because didn't Adam fall down a lot on his during the Mythbusters attempt?
I always heard it was better to burn out...

Sigh. Security theatre is not secure.
Maybe now they'll "officially" release Android 2.2 with chrome built-in...
I can get a 1TB hard-drive for under a $100 at many locations (costco, google-shopping) so this seems like a big waste of money to me.

See, first we eat all of their pie, cheaply.
Then, when they're all out of ingredients to make cheap pie, we open up our fridge and start making
our own pies.
Then we can eat our pies, and if they want pies then they'll have to pay a lot more for it. Because we've got the only pie in town.
So, don't give them a valid address.
There is no consistency checking on the form.

worked fine for me.

Okay, we pardon it.

find my internet girlfriend?

To windows, and get 73% uptime!
Or.. that other OS that you don't have to license per seat, and get in the solid 90+% uptime.

Just, you know, in case?

This will be helpful to the geeks BBC, whom have been trying to get and keep support for non-microsoft browsers alive.
Unfortunately, this probably won't be alive long enough to make a difference.

Can I now avoid costly windshield replacements by simply spraying this stuff on my windshield after a ding storm, or crack?
Because that'd be nice.
Meh.
