Yeah, let's not argue about time... Sweep scans are very common - I get mostly ftp-scans. What I'm intrested is using virtual servers to fake a net of computers - virtual honeynet - net of honeypots. Could be cheaper and faster to setup than with real hardware. I've heard that there are people already doing this using
usermodelinux. With that one could setup a honeypot in minutes...
They're just hoping that a letter from your ISP, or them, will be enough to scare you into stopping it.
Eventually they hope that just fear to get caught is enough to stop people doing this. And those false positives will scare even those who wouln't use p2p for anything illegal. I don't like their methods, but I can see why they're doing it. They can.
update Those who drive on roads using a Mercedes tend to be better educated and make more money than their cheap car-using counterparts, according to a report from NonsenseResearch.
The study also said Mercedes drivers tend to be more car savvy, with more than half having been on road for at least five years. And the Mercedes faithful are 58 percent more likely than the overall driver population to build their own garage and also slightly more likely to tune, according to the report.
"With above-average household income and education levels, the Mercedes population presents a very attractive target for marketers, both online and offline," the research group said.
TS Kelly, director and principal analyst at NonsenseResearch, said that his company decided to publish the study after noticing the differences between the demographics of Mercedes owners compared with overall car owners. Kelly said Mercedes corporation is a client, but he said Mercedes did not commission the study nor was it made aware of the results prior to the report's publication.
You can do it with a default install in 30 minutes.
So you actually can predict that your box will be hacked by two individual hackers in 30 minutes, analyze what they were doing and write a doc about it? You'll need good timing. Please - please read the articles before begging for karma.
They didn't block off much city space, maybe (100 - 200m), and the chopper
flew down the square (Martin Place) between the buildings about 5 - 10m above
our heads.
Really? Hard to believe these numbers. Are you saying that closed area was about 100x200 meters or 100-200 square meters? First I can believe, latter is just like 10x20 meters... Wouldn't make sense. And since I've been near helicopters I know that being 5-10 meter under hovering or passing copter isn't fun. Dust... wind... noise... I don't say you're mistaken, but these numbers are just hard to believe. Flying 5 meters from ground in middle of city... Should have seen that.
Does anyone have urls to information about using rc-copters in movies - as models and / or filming? I've seen one in action and was really impressed.
That being said, I still don't think that movie piracy will have much of an impact. Even my uncle knows that the movie quality is crap, and if he really wanted to see it he would see it in a [home, real] theatre.
After five years the quality will be much better and dvd-burners are common. Won't have much of an impact? Yeah, theaters are still better, but you can download pirate moviez and watch them in your home theatre. I guess someone is paying big euros for DVD-manufacturers to delay dvd-burners... Doesn't really need to be fortune teller to predict that movie pirating will go up like a rocket.
Well - that wasn't on first page (unless you have checked "collapse sections") - human error - seems like we all do mistakes? =) All it takes is little bit checking of facts - if we post some news we should atleast read them first.
Galileo's two planned visits to the asteroid belt provided the first
and second opportunities for close observation of these bodies: in
October 1991 the spacecraft flew by asteroid Gaspra, obtaining the
world's first close-up asteroid images; in August 1993 it flew by a
second asteroid, Ida, and discovered the first confirmed asteroid
moon.
I saw this "news" long time ago in a magazine - and it seems that actually this is the first known asteroid with moon. Date in press release you linked is September 20, 1994... It just happened to be chosen as a astronomy picture of the day. Quite old news for the first page?
"its purpose is twofold: (1) to make a point about the absurdity of hidden "agreements" that buyers cannot know about until after sale, and (2) to be able to honestly say that I never accepted any EULA, and thus my use of the software is limited only by copyright law, just like a book or a CD."
Hmm... and removing that EULA click-through page you won't be liable? And the other trueth is that if I close my eyes I'm invisible.
If you have lots of slides and negatives and want them into digital format - I would use some service, there are several companies doing scanning and restoration of photos. This is quite a good subject - what will happen as we're moving from regular photos to digital - will the grand children have anything to look at? Paper has a quite nice user interface, world's oldest picture is almost 200 years... and doesn't need cd-rom drive or spesific software to look. Should we be concerned? It's very easy to destroy hundreds or thousands of digital pictures, but with proper cautions the quality of pictures won't be affected by time.
Very good points. It's true that there are significantly less cable / DSL-providers and they shouldn't use their monopolistic market position to dictate rules. My point is that we as customers shouldn't pay for something we don't like - even if there are only few choices... that's only way to show that we're not satisfied with their rules. Paying means supporting. We have choice not to pay, someone will eventually come and sell you something that you really want - its financial trueth
2) If they change the terms so that you don't like them, cancel your order. (yeah, easier to say... =) I lived last year without internet connection at home (so I lived mostly at work...)
When you order cable / DSL / whatever connection, how about reading what you can do or can't do - if connection provider says that you are not allowed to put server to that cable - choose if the deal fits your needs. If nobody buys their connections I guess they will be out of business or selling something else soon. Price / service quality...
My DSL provider doesn't like incoming 80 / 443 - so what? I don't need those - I have webservers on better connections where service providers like them. If cable companies would like, they could restrict the speed / data traffic in Mb/time period or whatever, but they are kind enough to trust people that they use the bandwidth moderately. They have right to ban people abusing their connections - using for something that they're not meant to.
Hey... how about dual head emulator for those of us who don't have $5k to spend on these neat toys - for those who want it today I suggest gimp to create background image with black vertical line in the middle...;-) Or quadral head? Yeah, lacks some functionality, but it's cheap.
I agree - it isn't good publicity to use domain names like fuck[competitor] to point your site (who ever does it) - most of people really get the idea that the domain name owner and site content is from same source. To emphasize my business I would never say anything so negative about competitors.
This seems like ethical question I've never seen discussed before. I understand both sides - would have been professional from Ford to ask 2600-guys pointing fuckGM to Ford's site - but also vice versa... would have been very nice from 2600 to ask Ford what they would like if fuckGM pointed to their site. And afterwards it isn't hard to say what would have happened...
2600: Can we point fuckGM to your site? Ford: That's not good business for us, please don't. 2600: We'll do it anyway. Ford: See you in court.

I just hope that open source software is legal in most countries in a couple of years...

I've also been looking for cd-only-linux-distro also and next one I'll try out is Mandrake 8.1 based Virtual-Linux
What would you have them do, duel for it?
How about couple rounds of paper, rock and scissors?
From what I've seen, this has potential.
Seems like a real potential to risk your already vulnerable windows machine.
