it WASN@T a fscking test... it was an article showing just how fscking dangerous it is to put an unprotected box on the internet... fer fecks sake... next week they let it get infected just to show what happens...
Home firewall/router software is better than nothing, and a small firewall/router hardware combo is probably better than that. Personally I perfer the Lynksys hardware.
ah yes... nothing underlines the superiority of Linux better than an XP user having to hide behind a Linux based "Hardware" firewall/router...
it's not the real artists... it's a cover band playing in the style of the orignal artists... the cover band has some seriously good players in it though. Drist's guitarist, Marcus Henderson, provided lead guitar on 20 of the game's 30 cover tracks.
A report on the imprisonment of fine defaulters claimed that: defaulters on low incomes are often imprisoned on the grounds of 'culpable neglect', as the court judges that they have spent money on other priorities than the fine. Many such defaulters are in practice imprisoned because of an inability to manage on a low income. (Penal Affairs Consortium 1995:3)
A number of studies have pointed out the material difficulties faced by defaulters of fines. One study based on 35 case studies of defaulters (including television licence evaders) showed most of the defaulters to be out of work, often for more than twelve months (National Association of Probation Officers 1994). Most were living on State benefits and had multiple debts. Most offenders end up defaulting on their fines because they need the money for things such as shoes and clothing, food and housekeeping, rent, rates, unspecified bills, light and heating, and public transport (Softley 1978). The crucial problem appears to be that offenders are given fines that they simply cannot afford to pay. This is in spite of the fact that courts are required to take into account the offender's means in the setting of fines. Table I shows the number of people imprisoned for defaulting on fines for television licence evasion by gender between 1991 and 1995. Over the 1990s there has been a sharp increase in the number of persons imprisoned for defaulting on fines for television licence evasion, from 394 to 749. There were 235 females and 493 males imprisoned for fine defaulting on television licence evasion offences in 1995.
would Apple let them use OSX in the movie/show if it was going to be used by the villains? Mind you... I wouldn't be very surprised if Microsoft paid them to use Linux for the villains... and Vista for the heroes... all part of product placement and the image that Microsoft is trying to project of Linux being a hackers OS... (hacker in the bad sense of the word)
or a Hex editor... I have "fond" memories of examining z80 binaries for particular opcode sequences and non-opping them out... ah, the good old days of cracking Spectrum programs to remove the manual "code" check failure jump so that it always passed...
so how long will that survive on the surface? It'll have to be tough to withstand ordinary wear and tear... the contact points where my fingers hold the mouse on my desktop are already worn smooth and the mouse has only been in use for 6 months... sounds like snake-oil to me especially the nano-particle crap...
unbelievable... they wasted two mod points on me that could have been used to mod two other more deserving posts up... idiots... when I made my OP, there were NO posts in the topic... none at all...
For that matter, they all could basically be because someone ran a code-audit on Firefox recently. Something like that would raise the 'found vulnerablities' level through the roof for the moment, but it really doesn't mean there are bigger problems with it; just that there was a concerted effort to find them recently.
somebody did... recently... like just a very short while ago...
seriosly... have you ever examined what's there? approx 50 torrents of weird stuff no-one's ever heard of or ever will... CC licensed work suffers from a fatal catch 22 at the moment... there are no big names using it... and until there are, there won't be any...
a far better site for music is here at least there are "names"
can anybody trust any third party firewall product when it has to run via Microsoft's Security Center... can you believe it when it says it's blocking an outbound connection to the mothership? Or that an incoming connection from the Microsoft Mothership to some DRM component was really blocked?
WHo's to say that the Security Center hasn't just fooled the third party app
You cannot trust anything done by Microsoft on windows anymore. Especially after they showed just what their real priorities were when they patched the WMA hack so fast and forced it onto users when it wasn't a security problem. The other shoe is dropping... look at what they're doing with WMP11... they intend to force the third party companies to run via Security Centre so that their forced updates cannot be blocked. Vista will be updating itself in the background and you WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TURN IT OFF OR BLOCK IT. They will be able to do anything they want to your machine and you won't be able to stop them. More to the point, it won't be your machine...

Have you seen how Fox news is reporting on the Foley incident??? they're effectively claiming that he's a Democrat!!!
a glorified metronome that can't keep time... just like our current drummer...
you're not gonna get a vote in 2008... there'll be a state of emergency declared and elections suspended for the duration...
he wasn't doing an ordinary job... he's the managing director of a small electronics firm...
just wipe that Apple crap off the iPod and stick Linux on instead... then you're back in control of what you can and can't do with it.
