What's up with the second sale aspects? Are they allowing you to transfer this unique game they generated to some other individual for a charge? Hell, to give it away for free?
Until they are willing to allow that, it doesn't sound that great to me. I've never used Steam or game that much these days at all, but hell that could create a whole new market for used e-games.
Have you ever tried playing one steam game you own on one computer and at the same time play another steam game you own on another computer. You would think that would be possible since you bought both games legally but no, that won't work at all.
Why can't that change with this system? Going forward why can't steam user authentication become more global, and let the game instances they create be the key. Aren't they losing out on parents with minors and other LAN or NAT situations with those restrictions? idk, I've never used it myself, not an avid gamer. It just sounds silly to me that they wouldn't.
HDD manufacturers couldn't give us 1024... where would the secret NSA data go?
What about their work desktop policies?

Remote Access Policies
·
· Score: 4, Insightful
Provide VPN access, but limit them to only remote-desktopping into their current work desktop... then they are stuck with the restrictions, mappings, proxies, policies and resources they are usually allowed and have been signed off on. This is what we do to our "normal" vpn users. Also, Juniper Networks provides a nice sslvpn via web interface for those not able to handle a vpn client that this setup works wonders for...
Nope...it doesn't have to have a MAC address on the network. The point of a "terminal Server" is to provide OOB (Out of Bandwidth) Management. While, technically it can have an ethernet connection to the network, the "terminal" part of the terminal server provides a console connection to a router (the device itself is not a router either, but a black-box with multiple console outs)hence...its not physically on the network, but terminally connected to a device that is.
What it would have (if it is similar to how I use them, and yes I am a WAN specialist) is a phone-line for dial in access in case of emergencies.
See MRV's InReach product line for more information.
...though it could have a MAC address on the network, just saying it doesn't have too, and if it is "mysterious" and / or put there maliciously, in all liklihood will not, or it will be spoofed to prevent detection.
lol... that "super hacker" part got me too, and I'm sure anyone from undernet who knew him. But eh, MASSIVE POSSIBLE $$$ DAMAGING DOS = SUPER HACK I suppose to the media... How bout some props to Soulblaze (yeah yeah you sold out to M$ - ohwell) and the other folks who wrote those handly lil scripts for ummm...bandwidth testing.
gH for life! hehe.. no mention of the whitehouse.gov hack? =(
Thanks for the clarification... never used the Cisco VPN client, we run a Nortel shop. While configuration changes such as those you mention on Group / Policies I can see being a pain for a normal users to re-configure on their end (if they have too!? The point of groups and policies is for central control!).
...I was asking myself why do they need to? Sure, they stupidly (or not?) released this information, because as you say it was so shiny and makes one go ohhh and ahhhhh...however, I'm wondering if there's some other agenda for re-organization that is being pushed...its not like they are changing their public facing IPs...I can't imagine their policies were that strict to begin with if they had similar login / passwd combos. To me it seems they are complaining about all the work they need to do because Childs has correctly, albeit unlawfully pointed out how mis-managed and ass backwards secure the city of SF was to begin with.
Is there no push for the cisco client or runtime scripts that can do this if needed to hardcode something on their end?
bah, probably just over-analyzing a dog and pony show. But I do need to brush up on my cisco;{
Erica Derryck, a spokeswoman for the DA's office, declined to comment on the matter. The mayor's office, which supervises DTIS, did not return messages seeking comment for this story
To change the passwords, the city will have to reconfigure the VPN software running on every PC that connects remotely, which it has not yet done, the source said.
Because noone knows wtf they are talking about? Certainly the issue can be contained immediately by cutting VPN access as was mentioned, but even entering in new credentials for everyone wouldn't take that long... oh wait the configuring of each remote client? What does that mean, typing in the new password for these people with VPN access to their network? I deal with VPNs all the time, if they don't have a client they can manage and one that needs personal configuration because the password was compromised, they don't have the right client...even a web based sslvpn would be an improvement from what they are using
Some of the passwords would benefit from a change because they are identical to the VPN log-in name or extremely easy to guess.
Well I guess I don't know the credibility of what I came across in researching a different matter, but there was this description on experts-exchange.com (nope dont have the resolutions)here. I guess that's why I'm asking... any real world success / horror storries? Our issue turned out to be a newly rebuilt box after a failed hard drive with a mis-configured hosts file (that had had the patch applied, but was not the culprit).
I've heard of certain problems with at least IIS 6's DNS patch breaking certain servers [yeah yeah citations:]... just curious anyone with links to a "certified" fix?
Perhaps someone whose income depends on phishing, and who is at the same time bright enough to build a reasonably complicated rootkit. This person is smart, and has a clear financial incentive to figure this out. I'd argue that it would take him N/4 days.
Give an evil genius some credit, 2 hours tops and half that time's spent reading/., most of the other half on other evil online things; like pr0n and goatse.
Not missing the joke... but just wanted to point out for those who don't know, attrition.org has been keeping track of "lost data" and who's lost it for years...
He's not the only one with their head in their ass, errr...sand:
The Transportation Department made its own fuel-economy proposals public almost two months ago; they were based on the assumption that gasoline would range from $2.26 per gallon in 2016 to $2.51 per gallon in 2030, and set a maximum average standard of 35 miles per gallon in 2020.
I think the interesting aspect of this is the tensile strength ratio to mass or weight... at first I figured nanopaper would be mad stacked and heavy... but from the FA:
The new nanopaper is "quite interesting," says Mike Wolcott, a materials scientist and cellulose fiber expert at Washington State University in Pullman. In addition to making paper stronger, the nanopaper has large pores between the fibers, which should also make it easier and cheaper to dry, thus reducing the cost of any final product, he says. And because cellulose is the most abundant organic compound on the planet, nanopaper has the potential to be cheaper than more-exotic, expensive-to-produce nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes, says John Simonsen, a physical chemist and nanocrystalline cellulose expert at Oregon State University in Corvallis.
apparently the nanobonds are more porous... would be nice to see some comparison statistics on the physical properties between nanopaper and regular paper per square inch say.
I think you are missing the point. There is no Skyskraper to have a penthouse office in, there is no Rodeo Drive storefront, there's IP/TCP. Sure they could make as many artificial tiers as they want, charge someone a million dollars a packet for super-duper-awesome-rediculous speed... and artificially slow someone not willing to cough up money to this extortion racket, that doesn't make them right or in the spirit of capitalism.
A tangible entitiy of a storefront / realestate markup is more akin to having the latest quad-core racks and a nifty name for your website and good coders; not the routes it takes to get there.
If you want a quicker uplink, pay for a FIOS connection or your own dedicated lines but don't advocate them charging you in the middle for the bandwidth you have already pay for as well as on top of the bandwidth your favorite site pays for.
ummm... FYI: you can not mod and comment on the same discussion...
Do we really want a world where our packets can become illegal weapons?
also, this has been the case for years: DOS attacks. This definition does not take into account what service is being denied. In essence, Comcast is DOS'ing bittorrent protocols, preventing them from funcitoning as intended by sending malignant false packets. Sure they are targeting a protocol with these packets, instead of say a windows box to blue-screen it, or a website to ping it into oblivion. Should they be able to do so? What if it was VOIP protocols under attack?

Good for them to go main-stream with it ;)
What do Walruses and Tupperware have in common?

sorry...last day, won't be here all week =(

Nope. You have to work to be on strike!
