"Hmm a person can break into your back yard with the intent of robbing your house or going through your personal files that you leave on your desk, but if said person were to get hurt on your property, they can sue you." Interesting thought there.
I say that if they are so bold to push this information then they wouldn't have problems formally publishing their list of contacts, or better yet, I'm sure one of them is a customer somewhere... I am sure since they are such noble people they would have no fear of their private corporate information being shared? What if their grocery store started giving out information on the food they buy? What if we got to see what blockbuster movies they liked to rent. Even better, what if we could simply list the websites they have visited in the past year at home. Too bad those corporate clowns can't see this, because they know the reality that one single disgruntled employee with their name could drop these things to the internet, and watch them flop around about privacy.
Indeed a stupid move on their part. However remember those people who are in charge of that wear a white shirt, maybe a Tie and have no idea what 'high traffic' protocols are. It brings a simple thought to mind. How much VoIP traffic can one reasonably produce in a month? What if you are backing up your 8 Gig itunes file to a remote server for safekeeping? What about that 20 gigs of your family photos or movies? It seems like they are taking a step to combat piracy in the wrong direction. Ye be unprepared Verizon.

IsoHunt Shut Down?
·
· Score: 1
Indeed, I do wish that IsoHunt had more legal downloads on it, but its an open 'forum' providing users the option to add in seeds at their desire, and with that you instantly meet what is in demand. The fact still remains that yes illegal stuff will always be in demand but this does not change the difference that it is just another medium providing an open method to finding information, in this case torrents, just as any other provider such as google and yahoo. Seriously go look for a torrent as you would on IsoHunt on Google.. you will be suprised to see they openly provide the resource as long as a page has a match somewhere in its content. One simply needs to have it written on a page anywhere on the internet.
Perhaps the next step would be seeing if a movement will be against search engines and filtering extensions.
The point is IsoHunt is purely a medium which people could search out torrents. The purpose was to make a library of legit legal torrents that people have created. With positive ideas such as IsoHunt's it also brings in the idea that we can also share that which isn't legal with our friends just as quick. To manage this idea would be riddled with problems. Would you shut down google because it linked to bomb making instructions, or even torrents directly where you can get your favorite Adobe product for free? The answer is simply no. It's just another attempt to target a resource that is popular for being able to find things efficiently.
As already pounded to death your comparison is flawed and somewhat a bit of a trollish response. While not always the case most people who intend on informing the website owner or even the community about a software flaw is much like someone saying over the intercom that there is a BMW in the parking lot with its windows down. Yeah someone could abuse it and exploit that fact and jack your nice stereo, you could go out and roll up your windows, or hey you could just leave it and depend on your alarm system to protect what is a noticeable flaw.
Is it simply offensive to help someone out with what they might not have noticed?
It's odd how this is displayed as point the finger method rather than addressing the issue of what allows hacker's to do what they do in the first place. It's like getting a box of lego's and telling someone not to build something other than what was on the cover of the box. People are always going to think outside the box. What frustrates me though is not the fact that money is wasted (If you want to call it that *I don't*) or the fact that it's actually very common for systems to be bypassed but rather the sad little word that is used to point the blame. Hackers... wow you really know how to cover it up when you really don't know who to blame. After all wasn't it hackers (Used in its correct orignal form) who make technology what it is today. Isn't that the same mindset of thinking outside the box and taking action on it is what gives us linux today. I think people are so fed on the generalization of who to blame that they don't take the time to identify the problem and study the problem. What's worse is that a whole list of 'catagorized' people fall under hackers, both good and bad.
Sadly enough this reminds me of the whole virus / antivirus story that people pointed hackers as the original problem of why we have to invest in product product product. Really the moral of that story is programmers were having fun and it evolved and got out of hand.. then fell into a common ground to people who wrongfully apply the knowledge.
I think instead of placing blame whining about who did what how it occured I think the focus needs to be pointed to the fact that not only does the technology exist for both negative and positive influences but those in the industry can shout out to the fact that a huge chunk of the IT financial claims have been handed out not to a intelligent hacker who was just seeing what was there or a destructive adolecent who wanted to upset someone or a collective company, but rather take a peek at the money spent on fixing someones mistake, or misconfigurations of the simple devices.. someone not doing their job to ensure that something simple as a programming error is not patched properly..
Moral of the story before I rattle on for days... Don't bite the hand that feeds you....
In the case of having personal backups I think it would be better off having the backup in the same building as the computer that is being backed up. Think for example you are stupid and delete your 100 gig hd. You have it all backed up but if you had all that on the internet.. then you would be transfering 100 gig and eating away a path to your house. In this case it might be wise to have a usb hd or a tape backup or something like that.
As far as corporate offices go however... there should be multiple backups one on site and one off site. Lets say you have a large chunk you need to update. You can do that locally without stress on the outside networks. However in case of destruction or whatever case that would prevent you from using local backups a remote one would be helpful in restoring what is needed on a "Must Have" basis.
Well it all depends on who exactly controls the software world. Innovation doesn't always fit inside the box as we all know. If we limit our creations we need to think of specific guidelines to which that limitation can uphold.
As often said in larger scale business, "If it doesn't follow the exact agreements or rules then we don't support it." Ironicly this isn't a new practice. The same logic that is being applied here is the same reason ISP's often SAY they don't want you using or running servers from your connection. They for one cannot support something they don't either have the training for or have had permission to show someone how to do. Secondly dell points out a valid fact in that say removing a certain part of a file in your computer that is attached and sold with WindowsXP is 100% spyware. Well Windows probably says somewhere in that adorable user agreement that we cannot tamper or remove such devices. That user agreement (like Napster2.0) blocks Dell legally from saying to all their users to get rid of it because if dell did that microsoft would have a big cry fest over it. Unfortunately this is also true with not just Dell but Gateway and HP as far as im aware. (I havent had a chance to check out other systems.) My best suggestion is for users to become aware of spyware and to understand that it may not be a direct issue with A large company that builds the systems. Hint to those who wish to get rid of spyware for free! http://www.safer-networking.org/
I personally would fork out the bones for a quality product expecially one that involves linux community. I think if those that had a problem with the way something is done should definately join up on the development crews and submit bug errors and feature requests.

Im sure this exceeds the 'millions' value in trends data.
You Tubes' Google Analytic s already displays this trend.
Exactly, imagine having to organize that level of data.
I wonder if they play WoW on that system too?

Stupid stuff should always be modded down.
Who needs nukes and guns when we could be plagued by boredom in life after the patent war ends.
One game says it all! www.enemy-territory.com. something perfect for the warhungry penguins.
Imagine the privacy invasions with these techniques but imagine also the coolness of the future finally becoming the present.

They could start suing for taking snapshots of your desktop for copyright infringements.
If only we could solve this with two guns, two bullets and 10 paces.
Well it all depends on who exactly controls the software world. Innovation doesn't always fit inside the box as we all know. If we limit our creations we need to think of specific guidelines to which that limitation can uphold.
That was hilarious. Sad enough they probably perform twisted stuff like that. Screw with your mind to make it bubble.

Thought they decided to stop at RH9 and go Fedora? Are they refering to fedora being a future desktop solution or are they indeed refering to RH9
