Well, obviously I side with the RIAA because I am a corporate-controlled whore, sucking at the teet of big business interests and lining my pockets with the hard-earned money of the average American worker!
Good answer. Someone is abusing something, so let's just scrap the whole idea altogether. Let's see how this idea applies to other things:
Someone is using a computer to steal money from a bank. Abolish computers, and this won't happen ever again.
Someone is using a car to getaway from a bank robbery. Abolish cars, and this won't happen ever again.
Someone died trying to get high by sniffing carpet cleaner. Abolish carpet cleaner, and this won't happen ever again.
Twit. Just because you never had a creative idea in your life, does not mean copyright does not serve a purpose.
Let 'em be cheesy I say. Otherwise, you'll start getting things like this:
Scene: A grey-bleached forest-type world. A non-descript yet handsome man runs desperately through the dirty albino trees, seemingly searching for something. The New Age wind-chime music begins a slow crescendo as the man arrives at a clearing, where a small piller becons. As the man slowly realizes the end of his quest, a whispering voice can barely be heard to say...
"Conkers Bad Fur Day 2: Conker Get's Ripped...Only for the Nintendo GameBoy HyperAdvanced 2."
It's not worrisome because this information is suddenly available. A real hacker can get this information any number of other ways. It's worrisome because suddenly a million script kiddies can now get this information as well, and will now have a better chance of choosing the correct point-and-click tool to exploit the identified box.
Never work for an employer that demands your Social Security number; if asked for it, make one up and use it instead.
Yeah, cause this will never come back to bite you in the ass. I'm quite sure that when your employer finds out that you gave them a fraudulent SSN, you'll all just have a great big laugh over it, and they won't be calling the Department of Homeland Security or anything.
The difference being, you don't have to do anything special to see the flower bed. A better analogy would be if the ower of the private piece of land put in an underground wine celler, and I spent the better part of 2 hours digging a hole to get to said celler.
I'm quite certain that whatever this guy got into, it wasn't exactly linked to from index.htm.
Well the bible does say "No man will no the hour"...Hmmm...come to think of it, I think it will be right....NOW! Ha! Saved the world I did! Averted the apocolypse yet again!
I know everyone else is saying it, but holy shit. Fucking Republicans will spend millions (billions?) on tracking their every fucking move, but if they had their way wouldn't spend a fucking dime on feeding, clothing, or sheltering them.
After all, they're all just lazy good-for nothings who refuse to work for a living like the rest of us, right? Jesus, you just know it's all those hard-core Christian fundies behind this as well. Fucking hypocrites.
Maybe I just wasn't ever paying attention, but I don't remember the address ever being "windowsupdate.com"; it's alwasy been "windowsupdate.microsoft.com". At best there was some DNS redirection going on at some point perhaps.
While I'm sure this is technically true, some of us are responsible for networks that are slightly more complicated than an XBox, an HP Pavilion downloading porn and bootlegs 24-7, and an old P2 running Suse in our parents basement.
I'm sure that a serious push for lean software is right around the corner. Probably happen right around the time that people begin to embrace thin client computers.
If people were skinning Freedom Force with Marvel characters, you've probably got your answer to "Why" right there: Marvel is planning on releasing it's own Freedom Force-type video game.
You're high. Since you obviously know nothing about the site, allow me to elaborate. GameFAQ's hosts a message board community that is easily on-par with Slashdot or Kuro5hin as far as usage, with well over 600,000 registered users. They are currently hosting some 21000 FAQ's, 49000 reviews, 34000 codes, and 2300 saved games.
I seriously doubt that PA's bandwidth bill can even touch GameFAQ's.
In fact GameFAQ's does currently rely on advertising to make money. The problem is that running a site that big is too much for one person, and the advertising revenue is not enough to allow CJay to hire some help. This seems to be the main reason he's "selling" to CNet: he's tired of working 60 hour weeks just to see the backlog get progressively bigger.
I don't know about you, but I'd rather have my nVidia card optimized for, say, Quake3 or Battlefield 1942. Someone call ATI and tell them they've got their new marketing campaign.
I have a better question: Why is the remote control app suddenly a feature worth mentioning? Sony has been bundling this app with their Palms since at least the 615C release a year and a half ago, probably earlier.

"She kicks high" is without a doubt the best video game commercial evar.

That sound you are hearing is a thousand hackers and script kiddies going "Oh yeah?" in unison.
Because Toshiba wants to sell theirs for less than $6000.
Ever heard of a little thing called l0phtcrack?

And I liked the internet better when sites didn't get 50,000 hits a day and the owners could afford to pay for the bandwidth out of their own pocket.
Perhaps you should go back to 3rd grade and learn to recognize sarcasm when you read it.
It's just an unfortunate choice on nVidia's part.
