Not only did the French get there asses kicked out of Vietnam first they were the whole reason the US got sucked into that morass to begin with. Fucked mutual defense treaty and all. Stupid ass licking French.
Christopher Yoo, a professor at Vanderbilt University Law School, argues that consumers should be willing to pay for faster delivery of content on the Internet, just as many FedEx customers willingly shell out extra for overnight delivery. "A regulatory approach that allows companies to pursue a strategy like FedEx's makes sense," he says.
So, just how is the internet similar to SnailMail? The only thing I can think of to explain this statement is that this guy is getting a lot of money from some ISP.
All of us who make a living being creative understand the shortcomings of current copyright legislation and know that we need people to think about creative work in new ways if we are going to take IP law into the 21st century;
You must mean all the greedy bastards out there. Not all copyrighted works shared on P2P networks are illegally shared. There are quite a few artists out there that only distribute on P2P networks. IP law? There's no such thing.
It is easy to write cross platform apps in Python but it is just as easy to write an app that will never run on another platform without a lot of work. Just like anything else, you have to plan a head. ie. If you write an app to drive an ActiveX control you can count on it not running on a non-windows platform.
I often have to write GUI apps that run on both Windows and Linux and doing it in Python is very easy when compared to C++ or Java.
Where I live you couldn't get voice mail and when I had the phone company come out to do some repairs on my phone lines, he completely trashed my phone system to the point where only on jack would work and that one not very well. In order to fix my land line I would need to have my house rewired. I then signed up for vonage and dropped the land line. This has worked great and has cut my phone bill in half. Just as a side note, Vonage's tech support is outstanding. Maybe the competition will help improve the service that the old school phone companies offer.
there is a class of animals that demonstrates, by itself, the evolution of the eye. many kinds lizards have a third eye on top of there heads that just sense light level changes and movement as well as a pair of very accute complex eyes. so you have a class of animals that have both complex eyes and a very simple eye.
This post is the biggest crock of shit I have seen in a long time. First it places the the United States as the sole state responsible for taking care of the worlds problems. If you want the US to take care of the worlds problems, then the US gets to make the rules. From my understanding of the world political situation, many countries would have problems with that. If the US can't make the rules then you can't blame the US for the problems.
Second, how is the poster defining "biggest"? I think China may have a problem with that.
I love these jokers who like to make the US the scapegoat for the entire worlds problems
Then they can build their own root servers. No ones stopping them. I'd much rather see a fractured internet then have it under the boot of the UN. The UN is a currupt and incompetent organization. They can't even manage themselves. The oil for food program was a dead simple operation and look how much they fucked that up.
If things were left to this guy, nothing would ever change. Keep everything the status quo because it's to hard to make any changes. It's just plain lazy. No wonder this guy has such a crappy job, putting any effort into his career is just to much work.
Most of the terrorists in Iraq are not Iraqi's. So the people who are being pressed, as you call it, are not becoming terrorists. If your hypothesis about pressure and desperation making terrorists were valid, then why were there not a shit load of them during Saddam's reign. You can't get more oppressed than that. If you look at a typical terrorist, they are middle and upper class. A suicide bomber is not a terrorist, by the way. They are a slow cruise missile.
Why do you think a commandline shell will be exploited by phishers ? Do people get duped into giving their personal info to cmd.exe ?
Same reason that people currently get duped by PIFs and cmd files. Anything with an executable extension is immediately executable on download. On sane OS's you have to explicitly make a file executable.
The Beastie is written using the.Net framework but the scripting parts of the shell are COM enabled.
So now we have a more powerfull shell but no additional safeguards. So instead of requiring an advanced knowledge of Windows programming to create an attack, we now have a new but more powerful version of a macro attack. This thing is a god send to any criminal out on the net.

Wow a long winded apologist. So which country are you apologizing for?
Not only did the French get there asses kicked out of Vietnam first they were the whole reason the US got sucked into that morass to begin with. Fucked mutual defense treaty and all. Stupid ass licking French.
Guess my karma's going way down today.
Anonymous coward says it all. Run Frenchy, run!
The French lost Vietnam first. Iraq is going just fine. Now go cry into you boyfriends skirts you snotty French as licker.
Correction. The French are no stranger to losing wars. The French main contribution to wars are complaining a lot and running away/surrendering.
So next time you guys have world war, we'll just sit and watch. Sounds like a plan to me.

If anyone should rule the internet in my opinon it should a U.N. body but I like the internet just the way it is right now!
Yes! Let's give the most corrupt organization on Earth dominion over the most powerful means of communications on Earth.
What people believe is a subject for an anthropology class, not a science class.
actually, anthropology is a science. the study of people and cultures.

I've complained repeatedly about this and I haven't gotten a response.

Soon they'll be storing config in files, and have a CLI only version of their server.
An this is bad, how?
