I see no evidence, or even any indication, that Sony Pirated that book. It could have been purchased by Sony, or even by an employee, and was saved in a private folder on a server share.
Wikileaks, on the other hand, has now very clearly pirated the books.
For those complaining about Adblock plus selling out... Have you actually looked at the requirements for Ad's that adblock will allow (even paid for?). Personally, I'm in full support of Adblock Plus campaign to pressure ad companies into returning to non-intrusive and non-annoying ads. Advertising *can* be a positive thing if the money helps sponsor content on web pages *and* potentialy provides useful information to people who might benefit from learning about a product or service.
Google used to be on the forfront of promising a clean and non-annoying ad network. They built their whole search engine reputation on it. Unfortunately, they since sold out and became the biggest pedler and annoying ads currently in business. A firm hand is needed to bring the entire ad industry to heel and hold them to a standard that will control public annoyance and malware both. If Adblock Plus can achieve this, while getting paid for their own work in the process, all the power to them. I think Firefox should partner with Adblock Plus to include the plugin by default with new installs, while getting a cut of the sponsered acceptibe ads.
I don't really know, but I can throw a couple educated guesses from experience. There are two reasons:
1: Motion Blur. This is even simulated in high end animated movies. (look at a scene in a movie like Shrek of How to Train your dragon, and watch frame by frame where there is motion.
2. Conistency. 24fps looks ok so long as it is consistent, either because of how the brain receives the image naturally, or just a matter of conditioning since we've been watching movies at 24fps for so long. I know when I watch video that is not properly de-telecined, (29fsp, but every 4 frames there a repeated frame) it immiediately looks very jerky and unwatcheable to me. Video game frame rate tend to swing wildly.
Replying to my own comment, reading some of the other comments that were posted since mine, I see have some reading up to do on this new fandangled SNI thing.. That's one problem barrier down:)
So I'm just going to send everythign in plain text instead. That'll show em.
If you need true secure communications, in as much as any such might be possible, there are other solutions for that, which don't involve any kind of central authority. (As soon as you have a central authority, you have the weakest link of attack for a larger target.) This is encryption for everyone else, so passwords aren't being sent in the clear willy nilly by everyone who connects to their favorite sites from public wifi spots, (as an example of a real potential problem with today's security practices.)
That being said, I think they are wrong about this being the missing piece... if it were that easy to use https everyone would at least be using self signed certs by now. The standard has to be updated to reflect the reality of shared IP virtual domains. And why no TLS for http traffic yet? Even if there is no authorative signing, the web browser could then at least warn you if the cert of the a kown server suddenly changes, indicate potential MIM.
If the PC has less than optimal cooling, it's possible, even l iikely, the drive temperature will exceed operating specs at some point. Even if there is no ill effect or any long term problem, the BIOS will forever more report "Imminent Drive Failure" on every boot if BIOS SMART is enabled.
I searched 2 years ago for a means to mount ext4 filesystems with system assigned file ownership. I found many bug request asking for just such a feature, (and exactly for this reason, so the file system can be used on a device that is meant to be portable across different systems.)... but the devs handily found excuses to not do it. Maybe this will light a flame under the nether regions of the kernel devs in charge of the filesystem. EXT? is a great filesystem over all, and I wouldn't hesitate to use it for any system or permanent data drive, but what is really needed now, is a journaled filesystem that is designed with features for system protability.
Actually, Firefox did it first. Profiles, and the profile Manager have been part of Firefox since the beginning, or so near, I can't remember otherwise. It's just bypassed on start-up by default, unless you know how to start with Profile Manager to get it going.
Leaving assite entirely the debate over death penalty to begin with, when we have to put down our pets, vets don't seem to have any trouble putting them to sleep, (and then inject more and more until sleep becomes permanenet.) Maybe the state just needs to fire to their medical experts and hire some country vet?
After all this time, i still remember the good ol' days having to clean up MonkeyB... it's nice to see the old timer ideas getting put to more modern/criminal use
If security was at all a real concern, let alone a priority, java would never install itself as a plugin in every browser it can find, ready to run arbriary code from untrusted sources, by default and with every update. All credability here has been lost ages ago.
I think more regulation on Bitcoin trades can only serve to help protect people from Ponzi schemes. No, I'm not like those other people who call Bitcoin a Ponzi, they are not. However, the exchanges that are now springing up are amost a perfect recipe for one. Someone sets up an exchange, pople open accounts to which they deposit money to engage in bitcoin trading, exchange operators help themselves to funds, either for operational expenses or to line their pockets, and instead back the accounts with bitcoin, bitcoin innevitably suffers a 'market correction,' there's a run on the cash accounts, and the exchange can't keep up with the cash withdrawals, voila, classic ponzi.
Nope, they couldn't even charge him for Tresspass, The closet was publicly accessible... (and was even being used by some of the public as a coat closet.) Using the network jack he found in there, however, was a no-no.)
Not exactly correct. He *did* have legal access to Jstore. Where his mistepped is creating a automatic "spider" to fetch the articles for him, against terms and service.
The 'crime' here was violatoin of terms of service. It was the equivalent of having out too many library books at the same time. It is the *same* Federal crime as creating a Facebook or Google+ profile under an assumed name.
Prosecuters refused any plea bargain that did not involve jail time because Aaron was politically emberassing to some.
That should be as easy as *not* installing Trumpet Winsock. (No TCP/IP in Win 3.1) As far as Internet goes, Win 3.1 was a really secure system. Malware writes had to be creative and resort to tricks like infecting Boot Records and binary to infect systems.
Nix on that one. MS security essentials is the only anti-virus that did more damage than an actual Virus. With default settings, SE took it upon itself to delete an entire e-mail folder in thunderbird, silently and with no warning, because of a simple e-mail virus. Not quarantine, mind you, just outright delete.
Does Unity still play Hide the Menu? That might seem like a pet peeve, but I think that right that demonstrates just exactly how much attention is put to "useability" of Unity.
It takes a while, but if you really want to be sure of your hardware (as sure as you can be, at least.)
Check the SMART status. If there are any re-allocated sectors, make note of the number.
Run badblocks with the -w switch against the drive (from a Linux live cd of your choice, for example)
That should completely read/write test the drive 4 times with multiple patterns. There should be no errors reported. This test will take longer than overnight on modern drives.
Check the SMART data again. Be wary if there has been an increase in Re-allocated sectors. This is considered normal and does not constitue drive failure. However, most drives should not have any reported re-allocations so early in life, and this may indiacate you have a drive of marginal quality.
My personal experience is in very small business, so maybe I'm missing something here. But I find the ability to research and adabt to any required technology to be a core part IT. Something I expect any competant IT employee to be able to do themselves on an as needed basis (and in the case of people with aptititude for the work, something they would do even if not needed.)
If IT workers need to be lead by the hand to a training course, that's probably a job that would be better outsourced anyhow. IT is not the secretary pool, or people who know how to click and double click. (That being said, I work for a company that will, within reason, gladly expense anything I submit in expenses for 'training', including books, seminars, etc.)

Rats have poor eyesight and navigate by smell and tactile (whiskers.). the real story here is that they used any brain power at all.

I should have been more clear. I was talking about the menu bar.
The the previous versions of Unity I tried, the menu bar would be hidden at the top of the screen until you moused over it to see the menus.

Do not try this on SSD drives.
