  2. Re:govt-sponsored on Cyber Attacks against Tibetan Communities · · Score: 1

    Remember, the US is up to it's neck into debt against China.

    That is why you hear nothing from your leaders.

    Tell that investors, they always require people to make these statements prior to make investment money available.

  5. Re:That will only work... on Japanese ISPs To Cut Net Access For File Sharers · · Score: 1

    The reason is that telecoms are quickly buying up ISPs, the telecoms have already stated that they hate the current internet infra.

    They just want to scare everybody off this infra and onto their centrally coordinated GSM/GPRS network.

  6. Best to use SSH... on Critical VMware Vulnerability, Exploit Released · · Score: 1

    I always use SSH as transfer between the host and guest environment, yes it is slower but so much saver.

    That I am able to copy something from you without you being able to stop me is called EVOLUTION!

    Yes, part of the problems of the US people is that they can't stand critics and intellectuals, it's their own fault that they are in such a mess.

  10. Re:Bring back Eudora! on Mozilla Opens Thunderbird Email Subsidiary · · Score: 1

    You are wrong, the last version of Eudora has been a disaster, especially IMAP, you must not forget that the code is quite old.
    It is not uncommon to start coding all over every number of years, often you get into a deadlock after some time, it does not matter how you plan things, also feature requests.
    This is because the future does not exist (yet), one can learn while stumbling though and this is what is happening around us all the time.

    I personally think that it is possible to let Thunderbird look and feel like Eudora, it just needs the right XUL overlays and graphics.

    Trojans, I removed some recently on somebodies system, the get it by downloading those fake codecs.

    You can fool most people in doing anything these days, it's called social engineering.

  13. Re:nothing to see here... on 'Friendly' Worms Could Spread Software Fixes · · Score: 1

    There is a easy way for this, it is called the on/off button.
    It is easy to inform the critical system admins and close off segments of the Internet to slowly resurrecting each node leaving infected nodes off until they are clean.
    It is a crime as such to leave critical systems on a single public Internet node without redundant private lines that enable a whole critical system consisting of multiple nodes to go private.

    A reset system like this can even be built into the hardware to lock/disinfect each node transparently.
    I will see something like this appearing within the next few years in Linux, repairing the kernel and file system according an install journal after infections or Trojans or anything causing the system to differ from the journal.

    This is about politicians investing in patent trolls and extortionist companies to finance their rule over you and I.

    Don't you people see that? If these people are forced to work they wont have time to plan their rule over us.

  17. Re:Compassion on Microsoft Under Third EU Investigation for OOXML · · Score: -1, Troll

    This has become that way because BushCo pressured to blew off a trial against MS while we all know that he should not have done that, administrators in europe saw the impeding power gap and dove into that and are slowly taking over authority about important international questions.

    That's the price for MS that BushCo sees the world as a collection of unilateral treaties while most world players prefer a multilateral environment, in short, despite the big army they blew it and underestimated economic power compared to militairy power.

  18. Re:Simple reason enough on Torvalds On Desktop Linux's Slow Uptake · · Score: 1

    Believe it or not, but I have been able to do this for many years in Mandriva, you must know that while Ubuntu is nice and has grown into a good distro in short time, it is a young distro.
    In that perspective you can give it some slack and I advice you to have a look beyond Ubuntu, the chance is great that you will fall in love with a complete other distro.

    I use Linux as server since 1996 and the desktop since 2002 and Linux still amazes me on how much improvement still is possible.

    Did not have any firewall or other measures.

    Internet in my perception became unsafe when all the trash came online.

  20. Do the managers of the US know what maintenance is on Tainted Pills Hit US Mainland · · Score: 1

    I begin to wonder reading all these stories.

    In the long run it is actually cheaper to do maintenance.

  21. Re:Do it the easy way. on Leaked Government Doc Reveals UK ID "Coercion" Plans · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This system shows that the ruling class is paranoid to the bone, I think it stems from the amount of poor people they see as potential threat to their pitiful life.

    They outright want to go back to the middle age serfdoms where people are owned, they see the 20th century as a nasty period when almost all would have went wrong for them.

    Being bribe able is a work prescription you need to have to be able to do certain jobs like being a politician, no honest person is able to do that job, being non bribe able makes you too expensive for the system that rely on low payments and big dossiers of all mishaps of politicians.

    The whole system breaks down due to dishonesty within their treacherous class where everybody is paranoid and nobody trust each other.

  23. Re:Alternative to DRM on HD Monitor Causes DRM Issues with Netflix · · Score: 1

    In most cases with pictures and video the watermark will be gone after converting to another format.

    e.g.: psd -> jpg or wmv -> mpg.

    This is the reason they want to restrict you in watching as well as copying.
    When you see the picture or video on screen then it has been copied at least 2 times, first to memory then to your graphics card frame buffer.
    In case of a picture it's a single copy and a video is a constant stream of copies.

    The only way to make it work is to keep you and me from entering our computers either physical or by programming.

    The industry is keen of making our computers and their connections work like the Cellphone/GSM model where the company is the dictator in a centralized network where all instructions of each component in each computer of every person is logged and is punished real time by the system when done something wrong, that done something wrong is of course arbitrary and up to the wimps of the dictator.

    All it lacks is legislation and a few disasters at the right time.

    Young people are not immoral they are different moral, they will change the rules just like the current dominant generation did to their parents generation.
