If your remote sites have bandwidth issues, blocking streaming sites can help along with QoS. It's just another tool in your kit. It doesn't mean the sysadmin is being a douchebag.
Depends, did you ever notice a different key from the server? Did your SSH client warn you that they server key was different from what it had remembered?
Riverbed Steelheads can do this to optimize SSL traffic for WAN optimization. While this could be considered a good use of MITM for a company, and I wouldn't exactly fault a company for wanting to optimize their SSL traffic on their own WAN. It's still kind of scary prospect if a company's riverbed setup were ever to be "pwnd" by a "hax0r," particularly if it was set up wrong.
The Adafruit catalog has a lot of really nice kit for people like me who are taking the plunge into DIY in order to teach ourselves more about hardware. Something that seems to be lacking is the IC list. I know the IC list is geared towards usage with the various platforms that you offer as well, but are there any plans to expand the IC list to include chips like logic gates, flip flops, etc?
He attached a cube to an iphone, held it in the air, and it started charging. We have to go by faith that there are no batteries in the cube. Sorry but this sounds like snake oil.
I wonder how much money people who played those games have just "lost."
In the real world, I give you a dollar and you give me a widget. In these virtual worlds, I give you points that I purchased with a real dollar and you give me a virtual widget. And when you shut the virtual world down I'm left with nothing.
I see they're giving bonus packages for their other games but with the company sinking fast that offer seems pretty hollow.
I dropped my AT&T Uverse TV subscription and I have not looked back. I don't have to worry about dropped I frames because I don't have a DVR anymore. I don't have to worry about if I can fast forward through commercials or not because there isn't any to fast forward through.
North Korea's in I doubt that they have such facilities.
Like I said, substitute your favorite rogue (how's that mrpeebles ^_^) nation.
Any country that lacks the expertise but has the will will eventually obtain the tech. How about a biological AQ Kahn network?
So we put controls in place. That doesn't mean a rouge country with an axe to grind will. North Korean killer virus anyone? Replace "North Korean" with the rouge country of your choice.
1. Security, security, security: Windows XP Service Pack 2 patched a lot of holes, but Vista takes security to the next level.
One of the beta's for Vista already had a security patch issued. So yeah. Okay. They're ahead already!
There are literally too many changes to list here,
We would have to use a bunch of security lingo that you would not understand.
from the bidirectional software firewall that monitors inbound and outbound traffic to Windows Services Hardening, which prevents obscure background processes from being hijacked and changing your system.
Obscure processes will have to be signed by Microsoft. If this signing is forged somehow or there's a hole, yeah, goodbye Windows Services Hardening.
There's also full-disk encryption, which prevents thieves from accessing your data, even if they steal the PC out from under your nose.
JOE USER DOESN'T USE A PASSWORD WHEN HE BOOTS UP HIS COMPUTER. See a problem?
Perhaps most crucial (and least sexy) is the long-overdue User Account Protection, which invokes administrator privileges as needed, such as during driver updates or software installations. UAP makes it much more convenient for users to operate Vista with limited rights (meaning the system won't let them do certain things, like load software, without clearance from an administrator). This in turn limits the ability of malware to hose your system.
Okay, after laughing at the "and least sexy" comment for a bit and forgetting about the fact that Unix has been doing something similar for years with things like sudo, su, etc, let's take this apart:
This will have no bennefit for home users. Guess who has the root account? The owner of the machine! This is the same thing with OS X. A home user, when installing an application, has been trained to enter in the admin password when they want to install something. So if weatherbug prompts them, they'll do it. Once a program has admin access, of course it can do all sorts of things, rendering this UAP protection moot. The game is over.
How much time do you use your web browser/chat client/im app versus how much time you use other programs like graphics applications or word processors.
Don't light guns use intensity and not position to determine if you've hit the target or not? Why would they need to be "compatible" with a display device if all they depend on is intensity? Please someone educate me!
I had a conversation with a friend recently about popular culture and the current generation that is growing up in the western world. Popular culture dictates that people have three second attention spans. Just look at the length of time before a camera angle is switched in anything audio visual.
What kind of effect does this have on youth? What kind of effect has this had on my generation (being in the mid-20's myself)?
Can you catch all the pokemons?

I can smell Apple's hypocrisy.

Sounds like they actually listened then. Kudos to Google. Perhaps this will kick the other ISP's into actually competing again.
All that symmetrical bandwidth + restrictions against running servers. Woot! http://worldofends.com/
Very good point there.

Why didn't they get contracted out to work on Healthcare.gov?
Yeah, online exhibits would be nice.

In the real world I give you a dollar and you give me something I value at a dollar or greater. While that can be a widget it can also be a service.
In these games people psychologically treat whatever they buy as a widget.

It is great that AOL agrees with the reasons I dumped them back in 1998.
Joe Schmoe's kids just installed a peer to peer app and now when Joe Schmoe surfs the web his computer suddenly thinks he wants viagra.

Hopefully ethics will win over the dollar here. That is if the lobbyists don't attack first.
