There was another ISP/company that did the same thing as these media company's are trying to do today. They are trying to erect a wall around some parts of Internet access, to protect their precious. More power to Disney and these other shit heads. The last company that tried to erect a similar wall was AOL, and now they are a worthless company.
Sounds like someone is looking for a scapegoat. No, the auditors should not be held liable for a standard they have no control over defining. That blame rests with the PCI Security Standards Council and the Federal government who define the contents of SOX. It is already well known the standards for security set by PCI-DSS is laughable. There was a youtube about such from England, and I am sure there are other documents that confirm just how bad their standards are. The biggest problem with PCI-DSS is their firm belief that denial of the problems pointed out in that video works just as well as security by obscurity. So is this the name of the game now... sue people FOR following the standards, even when they have no control over them?
No doubt about it... Obama is a traitor to the people. He has mortgaged my daughters, children children future and it just a butt boy to the Mafia, I mean RIAA/MPAA.
Glad I don't have a moron like you for a parent. From the sound of it, you'd hardly bat an eye in the same situation. Geesh, the guy was not over-reacting at all. But then you are completely ignorant of the potential, or possible danger his daughter could have been in. Lucky for the OP his daughter actually *was* misplaced and nothing worse happened to her.
Ummm, fixing a car does not equate to purchasing a bob for a computer case. With your logic, Ford as an example would refuse to sell you some gizmo adapter because you didn't buy the car through their "authorized channel". Pfft. No, I think this is just a case of Alienware being dumb asses.
Well *IF* you have the TDRs and test equipment already to certify the installation, then your boss if full of crap. BUT, if you do not have access to the needed test equipment, then your boss has a point, BUT only that you have no accurate way to certify the install. That is the only valid issue your boss could have. Suggesting an individual cannot make a quality call is pure bunk.
Yeah the only reason Moskin has concerns is due to the propensity for the proprietary world to steal code, ie violate the licensing terms and NOT want to suffer the consequences. To bad. You think Microsoft would extract their pound of flesh for violating their licensing terms? Oh wait, why don't you go ask those who have had a visit by the BSA.
Still a gimmick no matter how you want to paint it... a combination of marketing koolade and running a processor at less than its capable of. Minus the overclocking.
That will never happen..... I don't think. They did after all have the option when deciding the kernel to use. You'll notice they choose BSD, who's license does not require they contribute back to the community they took it from. Apple has always been about lock in just as much as Microsoft.
Well, I don't know about you folks. But I think the persons qualifications should be other than a Masters in plant science. It seems our great protector from all things evil feels such a degree is sufficient to deal with technological security issues. Frankly, I think the person should be lower in the food chain than from the Cxx level of management. I am sure we, or most of us can recant many boneheaded decisions made by management types to the consternation of the IT guy who said, no don't do it that way, but management did anyway.

What Google is doing sounds just like the crap Microsoft has done all these years. Extend and embrace, meaning... we will take existing protocols and intentionally break them to make everyones lives difficult.... because we can.
Oh yeah. I can see a bunch of idiots thinking this is a great idea. Now, instead of Sony (as an example), controlling ONE of your devices, now they CAN control ALL your devices and REMOVE YOUR ability to use the material YOU bought. Fucking idiots.
Thanks for the heads up not to do business with your company and partner company who seeks the opinions of./er's about sending peoples SSNs over the internet. The question you should be asking yourself is, how do banks and credit card companies handle such extremely sensitive personal data and use a consultant specializing in such matters. Otherwise your HR person has committed your company to exposing its behind to all sorts of legal entanglements.
Sounds consistent with the way Microsoft works. Promise the moon and deliver a crater. It was their intention all along. Propose something that smacks everyones senses with a bat, then back off with something that sound more reasonable, even though it is not.
So in other words if we all don Joo Janta 200 Super-Chromatic Peril Sensitive Sunglasses our chances of survival increase greatly. I guess you don't really need to be smart to get a degree anymore.
the build STILL borks! You'd think, at least I would with something that JUST RELEASED they would be USING THE CURRENT version of dependencies. Nope! Not these guys.

If the peanut gallery did shut the hell up.... Slashdot would not exist. Come to think about it, Slashdot is the pachyderms heaven.

Well duh... use PCLinuxOS.

Lol sounds they are trying to recreate the gimmick boost buttons used on PCs ages ago.
Browser wars are soooooo last century. And that's the best a billion dollar company can do?
First find out just how much p2p is going on. I would be real surprised if p2p is sucking up your bandwidth.
on Linux, install XP or whatever, run all the updates and then make a backup copy of the VM.

Well if you feel like compiling from source, a guy here; http://forums.lunar-linux.org/viewtopic.php?t=535 put Lunar-Linux on his with minimal issues.
Use a real operating system. There is no such thing as a dot exe on a *NIX system. And yes, the "|" is called a pipe, so he used it correctly.

the Vogons have been able to do that for a long time and do wirelessly.
