As I recall it, the standard sentence for a "denial of service" attack is four years in jail and paying $900,000 to the City of San Francisco. And even if they are located in Finland, Sweden or Bangalore it shouldn't be that hard to send the local police raid them to enforce US laws against foreigners living abroad.
Did you know there was a Greek Orthodox that's nearby and destroyed when WTC fell on it? Do you know that they haven't been given their permit to rebuild
Until the folks at St. Nicholas Church decide that they want to build a church instead trying to weasel more money out of the City of New York. That's how long.
Rackspace has an acceptable use policy. The Dickhead Outreach Centre knew what it was, and violated it anyway. "Spineless" would have been for Rackspace to ignore the complaints and do nothing.
The vast majority of greedy fuckers that brought our country to its knees don't work for banks. They are the dipshits who thought that they could borrow 110% of the value of an overpriced asset [...]
Really? Who did they borrow the money from? The honest, hard-working, selfless paragons of virtue who thought they could lend money to people with no possible hope of repaying it, then quietly break the loans up into anonymized securities and sell those off, pocketing the whole amount and then running for the border before anyone got wise to their scam?
And where did these avatars of goodness and caring work?
Just wait until Mr. Beck finds out that all of the street signs within three miles of the World Trade Centre site are now printed in Arabic numberals, and have been for at least the last nine years.
Why don't you drop that "poorly featured military industrial complex piece of crap" onto a rock alongside the LG smart phone and see which one remains functional?
First off, the would both have to _be_ functional to begin with. A device that cannot do what it needs to is useless even when it isn't broken. Second, even if the 'rugged' piece of crap is five times as durable as the 'cheap' piece of crap, you're still screwing yourself if it costs ten times as much to replace when it does break.
Surely there are more involved processes for approving a purchase of this scale than just throwing things at rocks.
Seen many "Be a surgeon in 21 days!" or "Criminal Law for Dummies" books lately?
How about a plumber doing all his work with a single screwdriver and no other tools, equipment or material?
Seen any incompetent programmers being sued or imprisoned for pretending to be more experienced or certified than they really were?
I think there might be a connection between these things.
Surprisingly, only a few of us students ended up in prison. Out of my class of 40 or so, only 8 of us ended up as wards of the state prison system.
20% of your 7th grade class wound up in prison, and this was surprisingly low? Unless you were already in Juvie, I'll rather not see the rest of your school.
"The teacher [...] was attempting to have the students think [...] This is not what we expect of professional educators" said Sharyn O'Neill, director-general of the state's Department of Education.
Perhaps the team at AMD had been drinking heavily the night before.
At eight o'clock on Thursday morning Arthur didn't feel very good. He woke up blearily, got up, wandered blearily round his room, opened a window, saw a bulldozer, found his slippers, and stomped off to the bathroom to wash.
Toothpaste on the brush -- so. Scrub.
Shaving mirror -- pointing at the ceiling. He adjusted it. For a moment it reflected a second bulldozer through the bathroom window. Properly adjusted, it reflected Arthur Dent's bristles. He shaved them off, washed, dried, and stomped off to the kitchen to find something pleasant to put in his mouth.
Kettle, plug, fridge, milk, coffee. Yawn.
The word bulldozer wandered through his mind for a moment in search of something to connect with.
The bulldozer outside the kitchen window was quite a big one.
He stared at it.
"Yellow," he thought and stomped off back to his bedroom to get dressed.
If you don't know what that's from, get off the computer and go to a library.
I don't think that's what 'older' means. It may be hard to believe, but there are still systems out there with video chipsets older than the r100, and support for some of them can be a little shaky.
And forty-three species of parrots! Nipples for men! Slugs! They can't hear. They can't speak. They can't operate machinery. Are we not in the hands of a lunatic?

So when are we going to see some action on this?
The Port Authority has offered them permission, land, and SIXTY MILLION DOLLARS to put up a much larger replacement building. But instead of taking the offer, the church demanded twenty million dollars in cash before they would do so much as put one brick on top of another.

they use Apache, which is a kind of Internet Information Server too. See? And that makes them an ISP just like Google is.
It's all so clear now.

How is this complicated?

Then you're going to see some serious hoo-hah.
And then imagine yet another series of unfortunate accidents involving undersea cables.
Alexander the Great's solution to unsolvable problems is just as effective today as it was in Gordium two thousand years ago.

How can it be better than the US voting system if it doesn't make sure that the right candidates win?
Perhaps watching 'The Empire Strikes Back' is not the best way to learn Astronomy.
He has. In fact his team is responsible for maintaining over two billion different functions that do those kinds of currency translations.

But Bing is already adding a 30% tip on top of what they were being charged. What's the problem?
I was hoping for something more like this.
Nice set of four bullet points there. All you need is some completely irrelevant clip art and a useless animation and you'll be ready to for the CUA.
Of course not. Everybody knows that the Tauntauns all live on Hoth, and they didn't even go there until episode V.

On a slight tangent, Taylor Mali has a few words to say on the subject of making students think.

But the time traveling dwarfs and Evil's fortress built out of Lego(tm) were completely accurate.

That's the Russian way of spelling 'J'.

That's an interesting knee-jerk reaction you had there.
Please.
