I wonder how this makes Microsoft feel, and imagine the embarassment from having 3rd parties release hot fixes (work arounds, or patches) before your release cycle.
It's like the security community is slapping them in the face and saying that their current model of using patch cycles is not good enough for threats on todays internet.
In my opinion this makes Microsoft look very bad, this is that I know of the second time a patch has been released for an MS product before an official fix release.
And they even produce sourcecode for community scrutiny/review.
To eEye and others making these patches for MS products, thanks guys for making sure my parents don't get inundated by malware.
Yes, as we all know there is no way he is just a lazy typist. Especially given the nature of younger typers and grammatical shortcuts they tend to take when typing.
I was not aware of an actual examiner citing/. as a prior art source, I was however making the connection between the original/. offering of a patent being applied for.
It is interesting though that at least some of them have their thinking caps on.
Besides, I think if anyone got the patent it should be Mr. Roddenbury's estate.
Good point, take for instance Battle Field 2, I stopped playing after two weeks, when I noticed peoples profiles and them having recorded totals in excess of 2000 hours playing the game. For those who are math challenged, that's near 84 24 hour days of gaming. That's just sick, and to me utterly pathetic to spend that amount of time playing a game.
I am a US citizen, and I am utterly appauled [sic] at how my country feels the need to meddle in the affairs of other nations.
I don't think it right to opress people, if China so chooses to opress it's people then so be it. History teaches that even opressed people will revolt when they have had enough.
Given China's age vs the age of the US who are we to say they are running their country wrong or bieng wrong in opressing their people.
If we are a nation built on freedom why is there a need to force our ideals on a nation that isn't as open as we are. It seems that China's current method of governing it's people is working for them atm, why should they change?
By imposing our beliefs on them we come out the arrogant assholes on the block.
I'll be sure to write my congressman and let him know how I feel, and that China should not be sanctioned into bankruptcy to enforce our beliefs.
Signed Fucking sick of legislators who know how to run (read ruin) the world.
How about blocking any government block out for all time, this would include local and state, why should our tax dollars pay for some interns to "polish" or smear another candidate via a wiki. If Congress is in session I think they need to be doing what they do, not altering wiki's in a pointless display of high school behaviour. These poeple are paid to represent us and to make serve as our voices, not to frivolously squander money and time, yeah like they would never do that anyway.
Now if its similar to/. where a few lines from the article is posted in a headline, and a pic I see no reason for a problem should there be a link back to the original story. This generates traffic and possibly new users to your sites. If however said site is trying to plagarize [SIC] a whole story that is very different.
With BF2 though, I would hate to look up the bots stats and see the bot was ranked higher than me. This is in gest of course I'm sure there is some safeguard to prevent the bot from ranking. I wasn't aware BF2 had this feature.
Bots put back into games, why in Star Wars Jedi Knight and Knights of the Old Republic were there bots in multiplayer if you wished, but not other online FPS games? Sometimes at 3 AM you just can't get a decent number of people gathered for a good game, get 3 others, and a few bots though and you have something.
FTFA, the possiblity exists for other code excution. Refering to unauthorized code bieng installed via the copy protection schema in Starforce. The article did mention it was very few machines that experienced "driver issues", the mere fact that it paved the way for other malicious programs to install is what the focus is.
... should appear the day after I finally got my system cleaned from one. I had spent the last three days battling spyware, and popups and was ready to give in the towel.
I had ran Adaware, Spy Sweeper, Spybot S&D, AVG Free, Kasperky, Killbox, and HIJack This, still none fully cleaned it, it got rid of all the other junk and I had blocked my computers IP to keep it isolated on my network so newer adware wouldn't get installed.
I still had an odd entry in Add/Remove programs ( Network Monitor ) I had installed no network monitor, and upon removal it would complain about not finding the uninstall. C:\Netmon\uninstall_nmon.vbs". I decided to run a search on this and found it a variant of L2M ( Look2Me or VX2 ) yet all the anti spyware programs proclaimed my system clean yet popups still came. I ran across this thread, which helped me to clean it out. It lead me to this post, which finally helped me clean it. I had this entry in my registry under HIJackThis O20 - Winlogon Notify: - C:\WINDOWS\system32\.dll
Seems it was hooking into Winlogon and upon shutdown it was setting itself up to restart on boot. The fix suggested in the second link I posted was the charm, fixed it no issues first time and 12 hours later no popups and normal processes running.
fight any suit arising from this citing "prior art" which I think should make the patent null.
35 U.S.C. 103 Conditions for patentability; non-obvious subject matter
(a) A patent may not be obtained though the invention is not identically disclosed or described as set forth in section 102 of this title, if the differences between the subject matter sought to be patented and the prior art are such that the subject matter as a whole would have been obvious at the time the invention was made to a person having ordinary skill in the art to which said subject matter pertains. Patentability shall not be negatived by the manner in which the invention was made.
I'm impressed by your statement moreso that you mentioned you were Christian, yet support evolution. I would be one of those that doesn't support there being a God/higher power that created everything. I can however accept your theory that possibly if in fact ID exists part of the whole plan of ID was evolution, it is plausable. I also agree that no one may ever discover how things came about, then again perhaps one day we might. If God exists and I am wrong in my beliefs then I guess I will know for sure.
1) Send letter to RIAA complaining nicely.
2) Wait for letter to circulate internally as memo.
3) Sue RIAA for copyright violation.
4) Profit.
Or just prove how stupid all this copyright and filesharing crap is.
I can understand someone wanting to protect his/her IP, but come on they make it sound as if by sharing out anything I'm breaking the law. BTW, I didn't RTFA as I'm sick of the RIAA and MPAA, and DMCA making headlines, so I no longer waste my time reading about them.
That's fucking censorship! I'm sick to death of this administration taking liberties to protect me. If I choose to ride a motorcycle without a helmet and I die as a result from head injuries so be it.
I can understand them wanting to search for "child porn" but I fear this goes much deeper and that is just a guise to effectively censor all of it. Now you may think that this type of censorship is a good thing to protect the children, well I say bullshit. If you want you children protected get off your fat lazy ass, drop whatever your doing and monitor your childs online habits by watching them. Would you let them swim in the ocean without supervision? Hell NO! So why take a chance they may get to a pron site while online? Granted there are links that seem harmless, then blam GOATSE protect against that I can see. This will do nothing for the younger generation that is more computer savvy than ma and pa and who have secretly, hacked, or traded for a pron login pass for some site.
This is censorship of media, next it'll be the papers, oh wait those are censored.
Honestly folks, unless you want a few people in power telling you when to do this or that, what to eat, wear, where to work or live, then do nothing. Take no responability for raising your children. Above all continue to not vote, because there is no one worth voting for then bitch about how you have to make too many choices and life is so hard.
With archaic laws still on the books in many states, I wonder if this will open the door for people getting charged with breaking some antiquated law?
In my/. lifetime, little over a year, I have submitted maybe 3 stories, that I thought were/. worthy, of the 3 one was accepted. Now going by the rationale that certain users get selected more based on "slash-cred" mine would not have been accepted. I think the editors do the best they can with what they have. You guys must see so many submissions daily that the average/.joe/jane would have their head explode.
My opinion, if you want to have a story posted to/. submit something relevant and thougt provoking. Submitting something to ensure a flame war in the forums isn't the way to go.
I think the editors are doing a hell of a job, even you Zonk.
I went to an optomologist and got prescription glasses, though my case turns out I have needed them for years and never knew. What I have is a weak muscle in one eye that causes migraine strength headaches from the muscle straining to keep the eye focused. If you do not need a prescription there are I believe glasses you can buy at your local Right Aid, Walgreen, PharMor, Wally World that magnify your reading. A cheap pair of these may suit your needs allowing you to continue what you are doing and slowing the damage to your eyes being caused from it. From what I am told though your eyes will get progressively worse, personally I need to visit the eye doctor every 6 months, one more visit per year than the suggested annual visit.
This is entirely up to you though, but keep in mind your eyes have to last you your lifetime.
