A blog is a term for narcissists. People who don't feel comfortable with the term "we" had to remove that for the sake they might feel like they belong to something larger.
I was going to post something to this effect. I think the big issue is being in the middle of work more than anything else. The problem is if Linus is still using a Mac, Spinrite 6.0 won't work. Spinrite 6.1 will though it's in beta.
The US government has been corrupt for a long time. The difference now is that Manning and Snowden have basically pulled back the veil of secrecy enough to see that the Wonderful Wizard is nothing more than a crotchety old man. Not even a nice one at that. We have been on a slide since the 1950s. The only way we came to prominence is that the rest of the world leveled itself and somehow, sans Pearl Harbor, we remained untouched. What do you get when you have only one functioning economy in the world? Hello new World Power. The Soviets worked hard to bring themselves backup up to speed and quickly became the second Super Power. The Soviets had a shoddy structure though and fell to pieces because of that. Because of this, the US has lost it's primary enemy and looks around the world for others.
Compare the US to Rome, and the history lines up so perfectly it's scary. Look at how the past two presidents tried to take power away from the senate. Look at how we spend more money on entertainment than we do on science or any other industry that will advance us. Look at the type of entertainment we have today where what we watch has little relevance tomorrow rather than something we will watch and cherish years or centuries from now.
We are in the bread and circuses phase of the empire. Everyone is poor, but continue to be entertained, so they don't care. Religion is continuing to come into prominence again as it did in the the fall of the Roman empire. The rest of the world is advancing and our ideas are quickly becoming outdated. Our influence on the world is waning and we have very little to show for it. Other than a flag on the moon marking one of our pinnacle moments of advancement.
Yes, so the people who were told to put your faith in God and give up your HIV meds are not mentally impaired? These people drive me to the point of de-evolving to where I find flinging my own feces as a proper retaliatory response.
As long as he is getting his money, why should he care about his fortress. Say, that's a nice fortress you have there. So you have an automated environment system that can be accessed remotely? That's nice. How do you like your house in the middle of the summer? I think that's a great time to turn on the heater?
This guy is a tool, and I won't feel bad if he is harassed for some of the things that he allowed to happen under his watch.
He is right that there will be some people that get upset if Snowden is arrested. Just as Sony about what happens when one that the hacker community supports gets arrested or even mistreated.
After what I say this weekend, I would say that Sony had a small bout compared to what would happen if Snowden is arrested.
Last I heard, the Dark Tangent had a wife. In fact, I met her just this weekend, in the flesh even. I am pretty sure there were a lot of presenters at Defcon who had wives and/or children younger than the age of five. Oh, but here's the best part. There were children at Defcon. They were hacking. They were proficient as well.
I didn't win the Edward Snowden look-a-like competition though.:/
A good pen tester has to not only give you results to what he is doing, but also inform the company of how to fix what they are doing wrong. An example would be something as simple as upping their password complexity. Use Enterprise WPA2 instead of Personal WPA. Lock off your ports or lock up your switches. Upping password complexity.
Opportunist is correct in that there are the security testers who just invade and churn out a report that says: blah.
These guys get paid, but aren't worth much. Many of them probably don't understand the tools they are using or how they work. The problem is, the security industry really doesn't have much credibility yet. There have been improvements. But as with all gold rush opportunities, there has been a flood of applicants claiming they know what's going on. This is the same as any industry though. Security is picked on, not unfairly mind you, because a lot more money is tossed around.
Main components like the mainboard? BIOS or ufi? No one could ever put a phone home program in a small bit like the network/wireless adapters. That would never happen.
Seconded. I was hoping Blizzard was going to dump Activision and go back to developing new IP instead of rehashing the same 3 ideas over and over again.
I don't know, they seem to misdirect the audiences more than anything else. I know there were some toys out for Pacific Rim, but we are talking $20 top end Neca products. Where are the cheap Hasbro toys that you can find on all of the Walmart toy shelves? Or Kenner, or anywhere else. Instead we had a giant robot/monster movie pretty much directed at grown ups. RIPD was dead on arrival.
Also, you cant have 30 block buster films in a summer and expect them all to do well. Dial it back just a bit. I am not going to see two or three movies every weekend, the entire summer.
Then again, look at how Pacific Rim and some of the others are doing overseas verses here in the U.S. Del Toro's movie is going to probably end up with 80% of the gross coming from markets across the Pacific. After Earth was bleh. Lone Ranger was actually actually pushed forward by Depp himself. White House Down and Olympus Has Fallen were both recycled ideas that should have been stopped before they got off the ground.
Considering many of the foreign students that I watched learning here in the states, they can manage to stretch that $100K. Many of them walk to stores, they spend more time studying and less time drinking. They don't take the breaks between classes and stay the hell away from the XBox 360s, movies, PS3s, and the Wiis of the world. They are thankful to be here and bust their tail off to be here.
That being said, yes they are overly thankful. I did work my way through college, sleeping during the days, going to school during the evenings, and working until the AM hours. And still I feel like I could have done better. Perhaps I am insane. Perhaps I should try and do this again. No I didn't have the traditional college experience, but I have a job, a home, two cars, and my student loans are paid for.
Yes $100K is pretty chincy. But that's till closer to getting a free education than most people will give you. Especially if you are trying to get into a reputable school.
I agree that there should be penalty to this shotgun approach. Just enough to sting a company such as HBO. $2500 per instance? Why don't start a petition on We The People and see how that plays out. Not saying something will happen, but VLC or someone needs to stand up for false accusations to protect material that isn't supposed to be removed.
Except for the idiotic times where Internet Explorer sends me to the wrong location. Or takes too much time to load an applet. Or Crashes for some inexplicable reason where the other browsers seem to just work fine.
Your savings only mean something when you have productivity to go along with it. What good is a green car if it spends 5% of the time having to get towed from place to place?
That pretty much sums up my opinion on the matter. Here we are bending over to the government action to "protect us." But then when the police and other government agencies get access to these technologies, what is to stop them?
I think the best quote about this was the following:
1960
Government Agent 1, "Let's get everyone to wear a radio transceiver so that we can track their every move."
Government Agent 2, "That will never work. People would never agree to such a thing"
2010 Customer, "Can I get my second iPhone please?"
Discovery Channel is an easy target considering the fact that at one time it was a channel that was actually informative and provided some intellectual value. But as time progressed, the intellectual value was supplanted with entertainment value which was funded by advertisement value. Basically we live in a world driven by consumers. Unfortunately the stupidest people consume the most.
Another easy target would be TLC. This channel was once called, "The Learning Channel." I don't honestly think I could refer to that channel as such without vomiting in my mouth a little bit. The learning was completely removed in the full title of the show, "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. there goes the learning portion of this channel"
Another frustrating loss is the History Channel. While I grew tired of the WWII/Nazi Channel, there was a great bit more for that channel to explore. Instead, they decided to go with the "Aliens/Conspiracy/NASCAR" route.
Perhaps this is the normal evolution of entertainment. Perhaps this is why Seth MacFarlene is so excited to do Cosmos with Neil DeGrasse Tyson instead of another Family Guy spinoff or Ted type of movie. I so want to hear about Cosmos and I hope that Fox doesn't kill that series like they do so much else. I feel there is a demographic of people out there just hungry to learn, but they are flooded with so much crap that they don't .
I would disagree with you, but I am posting this on Slashdot instead of working on another project. So apparently I am proving your sarcastic point correct.
Don't forget Werhner Von Braun. It's not like we ever would allow former Nazis confidential access to key systems in the US government to accomplish tasks like get us to the moon.
His Methodology is complete and utter crap. Company growth should be included, but also look at the long term strategy, customer satisfaction, employee satisfaction or employee turnover rate.
I think Brian Driscoll of Hostess needs to be on that list as well as Leo Apotheker, not because he was a CEO this year, but because he failed so bad at it last year.

It was painted blue before that, but the paint wore off.
In other news, water is wet and the sky is blue.

And by replying to this I am feeding trolls.
A lot of racists idiots on Slashdot means that the anonymous cowards will be out in force. Awesome.

I am not seeing your point.

Seconded. I was hoping Blizzard was going to dump Activision and go back to developing new IP instead of rehashing the same 3 ideas over and over again.
I use R8.5.2. For the most part the search functionality is good. There are some times where searching turns up screw results.

That was quite a while ago. I can't even remember that far back.
