Yep, it does, and I am freezing the nagios plugins package on all the monitoring servers I manage until it gets resolved. And when it does, I will be upgrading to the monitoring-plugins groups stuff. When Icinga and Nagios forked, there was a lot of "he said" "she said" crap. I guess we now know who was telling the truth.
They don't need to perfectly police it. The largest 10% of vendors sell 90% of the goods. As long as you collect from Amazon, iTunes, GooglePlay, and so on, you will get all the revenue.
The funny part is that this actually gives a competitive advantage to small stores to little to notice. Until they become big enough to be noticed...
When you buy drugs, or a girl for the night, you usually get to do what you want... not guilted at every turn and told you can't be trusted, and that instead of forking over $50 you'll be forked over for about $500,000 and a 7 year jail sentence for "piracy" because your DVD got scratched and you used a backup copy...
Something tells me that when you finally save up and buy that girl for the night, you will be very disappointed...
False! It's dirt cheap, just a couple hundred dollars. You filled out an application, paid a fee, and got an enhanced port scan.
That is PCI compliance for a network, not an application. If you have an application that allows credit card swipes, and goes to a clearing house, it needs to be certified as well, and that ain't cheap.
How exactly does your shiny new(annually renewed) PCI DSS compliance accreditation protect ANYTHING? PCI compliance testing does nothing beyond proving that you at least installed a consumer grade router/firewall between your card reader, card data storage, and the internet.
It also shows that you exercised due diligence in securing your network, and prevents you from being sued for gross negligence. You don't need real security if you can show that you had some and therefore can't be sued.
This one is my favorite. Why any retailer is running Windows on a POS PC is beyond anyone that knows how computers work. It should be illegal.
GEtting PCI compliance certification is not cheap, and you need it if you want integrated payment. So far, not a lot of open source POS systems are lining up to pay for certification...
Currently, I keep at least $1000 dollars in cash with me at all times.
Where do you live?;)
However, no one yet has a method for taking cash over the phone or internet. It could end up being cash and Bitcoin, or cash and something else, but cash does not solve all problems.
You want to look at that again? It is EXACTLY a PC. You can actually take any PC with a decent graphics card and install the software yourself! The controller is not even required, but I would want one. It is just not Windows. And while Steam does have DRM, the OS does not, unlike Windows. Also, no artificial limitations, like my desktop that has 24gig of ram under Linux, but Windows only sees 16... Yes, I know why... Now. After I installed it.
So all you're looking to do is meet the absolute minimum requirements and *maybe* match the performance and experience of a console, but with a PC box? What is the point of that? The only reason I would want to build a box to put the SteamOS on and attach to my home theater is if I could replicate the true PC experience on it. That means high resolution, high framerate, high graphical fidelity. I'm not going to accomplish that on $500 worth of parts.
Six months after release, you will be able to match console hardware for under $200, and double it for under $500. PC hardware keeps advancing, and consoles stay static for years. And as for resolution, these days everything is 1080p. There are a few 4k TVs out there, but a 30hz, I doubt gamers are interested. So low end still does everything your TV can show.
OK, how about this. http://www.directron.com/cheap-save-pc-3.html Use the dropdown to pick the Gforce GT630 for $70 and the entire package is $317. You can do better picking some parts, but this is a full package, assembled and tested.
That is never going to happen. Consoles are commodity hardware *at launch* with the specific target of playing games on one platform in one way. With PCs, you've got video cards that cost a couple hundred dollars more than both the XB1 and PS4 *combined*.
Whitebox PCs are as "commodity" as it gets. And there are Nvidia graphics cards that meet the specs under $100.
Because vendors don't bring out the economy stuff for CES, they bring out the concept dream cars! You can build one much cheaper than a console. And some people will.
If I just took the access point out of the box, and I am connecting to it on a local network, I am fairly sure I know EXACTLY the identity of the computer I am connecting to.
The computer doesn't know you did that, and there's no good way for it to know that which wouldn't involve digital signatures...
How about "Accept this cert forever, regardless of what IP it is on."
Or, "Accept self signed certs on local subnets."
Problem solved in two optional check boxes.
The browser warning is correct. You don't know the identity of the computer you are connecting to. Only that it was signed at some point, by somebody.
If I just took the access point out of the box, and I am connecting to it on a local network, I am fairly sure I know EXACTLY the identity of the computer I am connecting to. And as I am in the networking industry, and do this all the time in lots of locations, I see the warning a whole lot.
This video was clearly John McAfee's effective way to make Intel get away from the McAfee name: obviously Intel doesn't want to have drugs, half-naked women and guns associated with their product.
This is just based on my experience, but it seems like users are very quick to develop habits based on repetition. UAC is a good example, in that it doesn't take more than a few days to get used to clicking OK on the box that pops up when then screen fades out a little. Changing what the message says won't change that behavior.
When the safety feature interrupts you more often than it protects you, it becomes an annoyance, not a safety feature. Like the apoplectic fit browsers go into every time you want to use a self signed cert! Yes, my router/ap/storage appliance is self signed. Or the "You didn't check all the boxes in your jar" java warning that pops up every time you open a Trendnet camera, and can not be permanently OKed.

Slashdot Mirror
I have actually done that before. I got a call back. :)
Just remember, too much experience is bad. After you have 10 years experience you'll be too old to be employable. Anywhere. Ever.
I keep hearing that, and yet I keep working... Hmmm... And not only do I have 10 years experience, I have it three times!
They did.

If all of this is even mildly true, its quite an evil thing by Nagios to do.
It sure puts a new spin on the Nagios Enterprises side of the Icinga fork... So, who still thinks Icinga was making stuff up?

Not to mention that most of the popular POS systems run on XP, and still will for long after Microsoft has abandon it.
well from that perspective, so is a mac, and original xbox
only diffrence they are locked down more and don't distribute OS installers.
Um... That is kind of a big difference there.
Steambox is not a PC.

I just need Steam to create a Plex app on Steam and I'm all in.
Here you go. https://forums.plex.tv/index.php/topic/87253-linux-builds/ Feel free to send me money if you want. :)
And how many 3rd party titles were out before the launch of other consoles?
A spatial controller could be cool, like the Gyration Air Mouse, but I would bet Gorilla arm fatigue would be a problem...
