I assume that the providers were just notified by the researcher and were able to see for themselves whether the server is doing something malicious or not.
And when they look into it, they'll probably see a bunch of SSL-secured HTTP requests.
In addition every ISP I've dealt with, has a contract clause that allows them to cancel the service if you use it to violate the laws of the country - which is often the case when sending SPAM. You are then free to sue them if you believe that terminating the service was not justified.
A command and control server doesn't send out spam. It only acts as a server for the bots that do all the spam sending.
you have your kids turn on chatroulette, and you do the same. if you don't see each other, and you're kids are still not mentally scarred, you bogosort until you find each other
It'd need some way to determine how your eyes are focused though - whether you are intending to look at your hud or something distant. Hold up an object up to your eye about where your glasses would rest. Close the other eye that won't see the object. Look at the object, then look at the wall behind it.
Now look back at the object. Sadly, it isn't your eye. But if it had a fine enough resolution it could be compatible with your eye. Look down, back up. Where are you? You're on Slashdot looking for the display your display could look like. What's in your hand? Back at me. I have it, it's the iPhone 5 with a display so fine you can't tell the difference. Look again. The iPhone display is now a projector. Anything is possible when your device is made from nanoresonators and not a retina display. I'm modded up.
I have read the GPL many times over the years (as well as US copyright law) and while I can grok most of the GPL, parts of it continue to elude me. Its textual representation reminds me of bad software writing, decidedly worse than average federal law standards.
At the very least, it's better than the English translation of the Treaty of Armens.
Isn't the problem with Oracle here? It should not be that difficult to fix their software. What's the difference with Summer time change?
The difference with spring/fall time changes is that although the local time may change, the UTC time does not. In other words, your offset from UTC (eg: GMT-8) may get adjusted depending on your location's observance of daylight savings time but UTC itself simply marches on oblivious to anything. The leap second is the one exception.
I think the debate is more about whether a text-to-speech process actually produces a derivative work. Authors have argued in the past that it does.
It's a stupid argument though. Reading a book to your kids does not constitute the creation of a derivative work. There might be a point if you read a book into an audio recording device and then gave the recording to your kids to playback at their leisure, but in the absence of that there is no "work" being produced by a human or computer other than ephemeral audio waves.
One of my FAA coworkers was like that. He had to blow text to gigantic size on his screen, and even then he still needed to put his face up to the monitor to read it. I was glad the FAA gave him a job, but still felt sorry for him.
Hopefully he had an administrative job and wasn't an air traffic controller.
No, apple LOVES blind people, but the Author's guild may not love them as much
I wonder if the Author's Guild can be pursued under any sections of the Americans with Disabilities Act or the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. If a blind person needs a book to do their job or to learn in school and this book is unavailable in any spoken text version, if the Author's Guild has blocked access to the only means the blind person has of reading that book... it could be interesting.
Reminds me of the time Fyodor was over at the farm and he asked me what sex was. I said that instead of telling him what sex was, why don't I take him over to the horse pasture and show him? As we returned from the pasture, it was apparent that he had gained a valuable introduction to sex even though it did take him a few days to walk normally again.
Sorry, but no, people from Lebanon do not speak "Lebanese". They speak Arabic, specifically Levantine Arabic. If there were a sufficiently distinct language associated with Lebanon it might indeed be called "Lebanese", but there isn't.
THANK YOU! Here's a PDF that lays out some of the arguments against calling the language Farsi. We don't go around calling the English that people from Boston speak as "Bostonese", do we?
Regardless of the argument, your example leaves much to be desired. People from Lebanon speak Lebanese. If we shouldn't call the language of people from Boston "Bostonese", you're saying we SHOULD call the language of people from Persia "Persian"? That's exactly like calling the language of people from Philadelphia "Philadelphian".
Paypal does same for same purpose and charges $1, to put it back in 24 hours. Does Google do it? Or they can't afford? (!)
What does your post have to do with liking them apples? Anyways, in terms of money consider that had they implemented this program from day 1 they would have netted about $30,000 had every developer paid the $5, and those developers are getting grandfathered in for free. Obviously it's not about the money for them.
Yeah, there was a sweet full-color poster of Cassiopeia, and there was a really hot shot of the Gemini twins... quite the thing to behold. We also catered to the women too: the stars below Orion's belt were quite popular.
The problem is that $34/month seems to get you absolutely nothing. Unless of course you want 0GB and have your speed capped to 64Kbps up/down for the month. It wouldn't be unreasonable if the first 50GB were included at that price.
According to a recent study, the true economic value of an outstanding kindergarten teacher is somewhere around $320,000 per year. A high school teacher is not worth anywhere near as much. That's because, by the time students get into high school, they are too old for a teacher to change them very much. In order to make a significant difference in a student's life outcome, you have to get to them while they're young.
Wow, I think someone should pay me $750,000 per year to procreate and have children. Get them while they're young and all that.

I don't know weather to laugh or scream.
The local weatherman on TV doesn't know weather either.

As far as i remember, homo sapiens is about 200.000 years old.
Wow, that's a damn good memory you have. What was it like back then?
and most likely the most ruthless, skilled and intelligent of OMON. The elite of the elite.
Those guys i wouldn't want to be messing with....
So you're saying that it wouldn't be wise to point out to them that their logo is HOMO spelled backwards?
The thing is, "where it is," is in Russia. They might object to the US breaking in, rather violently in fact.
Not sure he was suggesting the US do it. Maybe he was under the impression the Russians had forgotten about it.
Actually the US is planning such a raid. Here is the classified mission footage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWS-FoXbjVI

That was pretty much his conclusion too. Among other amusing quotes:
In my defense, the price of your future photovoltaic system will never come down unless idiots like me pay too much today. You're welcome.

If they combined a wave generator with one of those endless pools, they could have non-stop surfing.

I prefer my nice reliable Toyota van. It has brakes.
You wouldn't prefer a Nissan Rogue?
Does anybody know of screen capture software that reproduces the "I'm recording video of my monitor using my shitty cell phone" effect?
Actually the GPL3 has patent wavier in it so it isn't just a license to do with copyright.
Unless Sun/Oracle released the code under GPLv3, Google can't waive Oracle's patents.
