That doesn't change the baseline fact that these groups of people are being brought together (buyer and seller) through email based advertising which is why SPAM will not decrease and should continue to be a major source of frustration for computer users for years to come.
1) Meat quality increasing and price decreasing (since anyone can "grow" their own) thereby leading to more healthy eating which would be the utopian way
OR
2) The demand for meat overtaking the quantity that can realistically be produced and thereby allowing a few people to grow/sell meat for a huge profit, thereby increasing the cost.
What this all hinges on of course is if they make this technology available to the everyday person in their home.
People tend to be uncomfortable and confused when dealing with computers and technology. They know that when a bank sends them a letter they should follow the directions (go to the branch etc). Why would they have any reason to expect anything different online?
The emails look professional, use the correct terminology and uneducated computer users have no reason to doubt what they are being told.
It's a long process to educate any user on ALL of the many dangers/issues on the net and there are more sophisticated and a tremendous number of attacks ALL THE TIME.
People think that just because they are power users or admins that everyone should natively know everything they do.... It's just not feasable. Regular users aren't reading security alerts, regular users aren't reading Slashdot. (hello to any that are) Regular users are doing other things that perhaps computer users don't do.
My understanding (and I'm certainly no expert) is that it follows a set path laid out by the materials it's meant to 'eat' so as long as there is a pattern that is clearly defined and seperate from the other parts of the pattern (which at nano sizes could be a struggle on it's own)it simply connects the dots.
Don't give away my masterplan to bring M$ to it's knees please..
Oh what the hell I'll share.
While simultanously using IIS and Exchange to make available copius amounts of copywritten materials, I'll be downloading every MP3 in existance using IE..
Damn, the number of people who flippantly assume a typo when they should take a moment and read the article is surprising...
Seriously, if you don't even bother reading the article then don't bother commenting.
As for the article itself, I think it's childish of CNET to even mention the issues they may be having with Google.
Google is under NO obligation to give any information to CNET. In fact it's commonplace for this very thing to happen in TV/Radio/Print all the time.
Why CNET would choose to stick that information at the end of the story doesn't make any sense to me, it has nothing to do with the story and is simply a cheap shot in Google's direction.
Because they wanted a complete black-out from within it's borders, nothing stops me or anyone else from using any hundreds of other open DNS servers...
This way they simply said you want IP address X.X.X.X.. well too bad for you.
As has already been stated by many others here, and in the FA itself.. The button displays a picture you have selected with the bank. Since no-one but you/the bank knows what image you have selected, you can have greater assurance that it is indeed the bank.
Please take the time to read the article before jumping off with "theories" about how something might work....
From the Doc: "Less than one in ten movies re-coup their original investment from the domestic box office and six in ten never recoup their investment . "
This was in addition to the statement that the average movie takes $98 MILLION dollars to make. Wow, so what they are saying is "We intentionally give people more money knowing full well that there is a better than half chance we won't EVER get enough back to recoup costs"
I'd be much more concerned that they need to hire a good economist to show them that 'if you spend more than you make, you are in trouble in business'...
And yet they continue to drive this witch-hunt in the hope that someone will take pity on them and eliminate the pesky "Internet" once and for all..
It tells the story of Anakin Skywalker (Canada's Hayden Christensen), the Jedi Knight who turns to the Dark Side of the Force and becomes the cyborg villain Darth Vader.
Are "spoiler" tags too much to ask for??? Now the whole movies ruined.............:)
is another man's mountain.
If you were "hacked" and when you went back to the 3rd party security company and were told "Well, that opening is so obscure that we really didn't think it was an issue." Who would be having their asses handed to them in court?
Their jobs are to be as thorough as possible, your job is to analyse the data and figure out what it means with the knowledge you have from working within the organization and understanding the quirks that are native to your workplace. Hopefully your boss understands that your organization (like all organizations) have little things that require special consideration and you (and the rest of the IT staff) are given an opportunity to review and provide your own detail to what was submitted.
of those lame trophy pages that used to accompany hacked sites??
This site hacked by "C00l D00Dz"
or as it seems we are approaching
This site seized by "the MP44 G4NGST4Z"
Considering none of the images are from their site (they all link to 419 banks), all the traffic this has generated has simply served to help take those 419 banks down...
This would do little to nothing to aa419.com (few k per visitor..)

No doubt. At a certain point, I would swear that they were simply messing with me to see how much stress I could take.
If you can't make the correct decision in 2-3 interviews (preliminary, technical, HR) then you are doing something horribly wrong..
There has to be some sort of checks/balances against this sort of random price adjusting. We (the consumer) don't have any options in regards to alternate sources for.net, so we just have to suck it up.
Doesn't seem right to me..
Compare the level of violence, gore, and intensity in Doom 3 and Half Life 2 and you'll find they are on completely different levels. Half Life 2 has guns and shooting and what not, but there are no blood smeared walls, satanic chanting, demons, etc.
WHAT????? Let's look at Half-Life 2 for a second (and let me say I am a big fan of the game), in Ravenholm, you have dead bodies hanging from trees, red blood EVERYWHERE not only smeared on the floors/walls but it looked like buckets of it was just simply tossed around.. When you shoot guys, blood splatters and not only that, ragdoll physics means that the body now slumps realistically. this gives more of a feeling of "killing".
I didn't even realize how this would sound until I was explaining one part where you throw a grenade at an enemy and was explaining how realistically he was flying through the air to my boss. He simply made the comment about how far we have come when games become about how realistically you can kill another human being, and how realistically they die...
Watching shot soldiers fall from windows and hit the ground in a heap brings Doom3 and HL2 very nicely in line with one another.
Did I say that? No, I didn't. But how the hell is a six year old going and buying a $50 game? Give me a break. What a worthless argument. If your six year old has a copy of Doom 3 that you don't know about and has somehow installed it on your computer and is playing it without you knowing about it...
As a tech guy saying this SURE I agree, but keep in mind that a fair number of illegally downloaded games are installed by savy kids on their technologically challenged parents/grandparents computer.
Don't be so naive to think that every parent has the knowledge or understanding how to find applications, especially if the child is savvy and has removed it from the start menu and desktop.

That doesn't change the baseline fact that these groups of people are being brought together (buyer and seller) through email based advertising which is why SPAM will not decrease and should continue to be a major source of frustration for computer users for years to come.
A quick Google search (in the images area) for "Perfect ten" doesn't provide me with much except for a pic of this
So I guess this is what all the fuss is about.
It never ceases to amaze me that people (users) continue to do business this way.
People wonder why the spamming never ends, it's because 72,000 perscriptions were bought through an email ad.
Spamming really does work, it's cheap, and highly effective as evidenced by the above numbers.
Hehe, great site, and great stories.. I think I'm in a pretty bat-free zone but should they venture near, I now know what to do!
Well, I see two ways of this going
1) Meat quality increasing and price decreasing (since anyone can "grow" their own) thereby leading to more healthy eating which would be the utopian way
OR
2) The demand for meat overtaking the quantity that can realistically be produced and thereby allowing a few people to grow/sell meat for a huge profit, thereby increasing the cost.

It's not as easy as that.

It's not sexy to make Linux look bad... And even if you do the zealots will simply fire back "What do you want, it's free..."
You are 100% correct. Google is a search engine, they don't create/post the content, they just index it.
My understanding (and I'm certainly no expert) is that it follows a set path laid out by the materials it's meant to 'eat' so as long as there is a pattern that is clearly defined and seperate from the other parts of the pattern (which at nano sizes could be a struggle on it's own)it simply connects the dots.

Watch the BBC TV Version, they manage to do a great job of that very thing *including the passage you mention*
At least I get to read this instead of having obnoxious people spittle in my face while sharing this sentiment...
(Side note, the IT dept is lumped in with secretaries here, and they have strength of numbers...)
