China often threatens and does replace google.cn with Baidu's site. The thing is, Baidu is not as good of a search as Google, so users would rather see Google.
When somebody is giving you a silly punishment for what you're doing that annoys them... coming up with a way to live with that punishment in place and still do what you want is a great way to frustrate your oppressor.
What's going on when somebody in China is allowed to ask 700 people of any kind about any political issue? Isn't that close to that "voting" thing their leaders are afraid of?
And that's really a 4:1 ratio of apparent db to the chair position... no accountability in a voice vote unless somebody makes a request that the roll be called.
The chain of events is nothing newsworthy.
1. Microsoft claims copyright on its internal guide.
2. Microsoft sends DMCA takedown letter... site refuses.
3. Microsoft sends DMCA takedown to server provider, server provider must take on the liability or take down the whole server, server provider decides to down site.
What's newsworthy is that Microsoft is now saying "sorry" and letting the document stay up now. If you didn't know there was a law enforcement back door in everything Microsoft does, well, here's your proof.
There's no way you can get the US onto a treaty without getting that through The Senate, and right now the score there is 59-41 giving the Republicans only the power to filibuster and not pass anything without the help of at least nine Democrats. This will be debated. The treaty will be rejected if it's as bad as we're fearing. What are we worried about?
As the Republicans are saying on health care that the people are against it, but the Democrats were elected by the people with full knowledge they'd try to do this... they seem out of place.
Who's representing the US in the ACTA negotiations. If it's just the usual **AA people, then good luck getting this past The Senate.
SI's Swimsuit Issue is not a run-of-the-mill issue of the magazine... and sometimes when sports issues warrant they'll even publish a normal SI on the same day. But, like special issues of Time and Consumer Reports... those don't have to even go to subscribers if they don't want them to. Easy to exclude such things, or include them if Google really wants them, in the eventual contract.
Most magazines are glad to sell their content from back issues for money. So, if Google gets permission from the publisher, and then charges for back magazine items in the same way they have a paid-for newspaper archive search... is that really headed for the Supreme Court?
And since GoDaddy is aware that their GoDaddy Girls ads gain them some men, but offend some women, they operate several other domain registrar brands that seemingly have no connection.
If you give them a non-root user with all of the privileges of root, there's no way for them to know if you've really given them root. You're trying rule-out possible problems, you don't want to give support a false answer they can hang their hat on.
Yep. Reminds me of when I tried to set up a firewall password for a software vendor, only to find my boss constantly deleting it. He wanted to make a big deal out of every time they wanted to log in... I had problems that only they could solve so I needed them in frequently. He was basically wasting my time.
When my trivia game was hosted at EV1Servers (now part of The Planet company) I kept my root password on file with them at all times, and quite a few times support logged in and helped me with a problem, like telling me the reason my webserver went down was that the Warnings file in Apache had hit the Linux system limit.
This isn't GoDaddy the domain registrar looking for your passwords, this is GoDaddy the hosting provider wanting to log in to a customer's VPS that's running on their hardware, and most likely is calming down a paranoid admin if he's yelling at Slashdot about a "security breach" when support wanted to log in.
Fourth, activate the Emergency Broadcasting System, which uses AM radio, for a Presidential address. That will get through even if almost everything else is down.
EBS is dead... long live EAS. That plan includes all cable, XM/Sirius, and broadcast radio and TV systems. But, the problem is without power, you can't broadcast anything. These guys didn't understand the seriousness of the problem, and therefore lost their ability to activate EAS before they had a message to send.
You missed the point. The wargame was put up by a non-partisan group... it was the participants who spent too much time arguing their personal viewpoints instead of doing what a government should do.
Slashdot as usual is a little bit behind the times... this "Cyber-Shockwave" wargame was recorded by CNN with Wolf Blitzer hosting, and broadcast repeatedly on CNN last weekend. Would been nice if we could tell some of the trolls here to go watch TV and come back when they were better informed.
By the time the wargame was over, they didn't know where to send the nukes. They knew the server was in Russia, and they could contact Russian police to get that shut down... but they didn't know who set this server up. They didn't know if this was Russian, or people pretending to be Russian, or Russians hoping they would think they were putting up a Russian diversion.

When somebody is breaking the rules/laws in order to get there, they shouldn't be allowed to present their product on the marketplace.

With all of the "free trade" efforts leading to "We'll take your jobs, thanks," maybe this is something we should inflict on China.
If it's Hollywood dictating rules for the world but not adding to the force of law... how is that different from what they do already?

There aren't as many orphan magazines as there are orphan books.
Did you read my original post? Google has a paywall for old newspaper content, they could easily erect one for old magazine content if needed.

Check the TOS. You agreed to pay the costs of investigating, and to give over your domain if you were truely spamming.
And since GoDaddy is aware that their GoDaddy Girls ads gain them some men, but offend some women, they operate several other domain registrar brands that seemingly have no connection.
The problem was, everybody needed to be an authorized user in order to make plans to keep their business going without phone, data, or power services.
If you give them a non-root user with all of the privileges of root, there's no way for them to know if you've really given them root. You're trying rule-out possible problems, you don't want to give support a false answer they can hang their hat on.
I had supposedly breached their TOS.
What was your alleged offense and how do we know you didn't do it?

Nothing to see here... move along.

Too little too late. The threat vector in this attack was a trojan smartphone app. The malicious code was already here.
