Hacking isn't bad. Malevolent hacking is bad. When I was growing up my grandmother, bless her saint-like soul, taught me about right and wrong. She used to take me and my sister for walks and point out the various caterpillars and other insects, show us how to tell time by the position of the sun, how to make butter, all that crap. On one walk we happened to see a beautiful custom '71 Camero with the key in the ignition, and no one else around. I said "Geeze g'ma, some one could just drive off with that beautiful car!" and I put my hands on the driver side window and gawked at the situation. And she said while that was true, and the owner was foolish, it was never-the-less not my car and threw my arms off the window. I said "we should find the owner and tell him/her about the key" and she said she liked where my mind was at but we should keep walking as it was none of our business. I thought about that day for years after and come to the realization she was right in many ways. One of the biggest lessons I learned from her was that just because you can do something doesn't mean you should do it. One of the best realizations of adulthood for me was realizing when I should do something and when I shouldn't. Its an inner moral thing. I've been around "adults" who act like when there is an opportunity to act/do something, they should do it. When I witness that stupid shit I just shake my head.
I've had to deal with a number of these tools throughout my career and the one thing that sticks in my mind with all of them is how difficult they are to install and learn, and how expensive they all are. Not ONE package was run out of the box in any of the installations I've dealt with, all required a number of customizations to fit the needs of the org it was installed for. Not too sure how you fix that, obviously bidness needs and all that.
This message, if accurate, should be easily verifiable. This part of the message is particularly telling; "Counter Measures [against] Panzers Not Working". It should be a small matter to look at some archives for D-Day's "K" sector at 3:26 on the 27th of June '44 and see if any other dispatches mention any particular counter measures against the German armor in the area failed.
Yeah, more people firing weapons with panicky children running around, what could go wrong?
I'm curious, what is you're ideal solution? We keep trying the "just huddle in the corner and hope the shooter doesn't shoot you" method, over and over again unarmed people show that can die like sheep with the best of them until the gunman is finally pout down. IF you advocate a gun ban, I'm curious to know how you would deal with the millions of guns already out there. We found out in this latest incident in Oregon that the gunman stole the gun he used. Would you advocate the feds going house to house, kicking in doors, and confiscating guns at gunpoint, until all guns are confiscated? Or are you going to say the current method (unarmed, hide cowering) is the best solution?
...they make it look like there are connections between the networks that don't really exist.
Hey, I'll be the first to say I probably don't understand this as well as I should, but isn't this a map of CA relationsips, and not "network connections"? Or by "network" do you mean the network of CA authorities?
Well, you're wrong. Without gommint over site on this these fuckers have no incentive to change it. Perhaps I found the volume increase more annoying than you did. Thankfully the gommint agreed w/me.
If we relied on providers to solve the problem (and it is a problem) it would take another 10 years. I understand they are doing this, and I do see a difference, but not much and all it will do is give them a reason to add a dollar or more as soon as they make it a "service". This way, they don't need to do it, and it gets regulated across the board. This is a good thing.
This is EXACTLY where the government needs to step in. Stupid, annoying things like this. When I heard the ban was coming I prayed then and there on the spot and my atheist heart warmed knowing there is a God who loves and cares for us.
You mean selling her own property for a profit? God forbid.
No. More likely she was setting up her own do-it-your-self export business. You can no doubt sell verifiably genuine Apple products in China for a nice profit even paying full dollar price for them here. Thing I don't get is how she was going to go through customs with all those phones. They'd stop her at the border for having more than two, unless she had an export license and duty stamps, which if she had the phones would have had to go through export holding areas quite apart from the regular passenger terminals anyway.
Soon as you can convince the Republicans there's oil on asteroids, of course.And as long as democrats can milk a few million out of it by "saving the asteroid", you betcha.
srsly, he strikes me as one of these "I'm rich, got there by being intelligent, and thus; I am greater than all of you, so piss off. I need to keep on doing whatever I want as I see fit." I'm feel in my bones that he did shoot that neighbor in Belize and was probably genuinely surprised that the local authorities wanted to bring him to justice. I could be wrong, but his pictures and actions to me just say "justified asshole".
If I were the board of McAffee Holding, Inc (or however they are registered) I would srsly think about changing the name of the corp.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
Not that I agree with being imprisoned for posting a video (much the opposite), just making an observation.
Well, you do have a point. Jesus did say to go unto the heathens if you want to convert heathens (paraphrasing of course); all others get the hell out of dodge if you don't want your head to go missing...

if you don't get media versions of a distro installing media players/codecs is hardly rocket science.
Rare, but it does happen, remember Bernie Madoff?
You guys do understand the difference between a Foxnews article, and an AP Wire article, right?
If the Fox News article and the AP Wire story are the same, whose the bigot?
I have no idea what my IQ is, never cared, and this study shows I was correct in never giving a damn about it.
The reality is that hacking isn't that bad.

This and our complete inability to embrace the metric system are one of the few things I'll accept that Europeans are right about.

It may have been known to which unit the pigeon was assigned, yeah? So perhaps the recipient knew where "here" was?

I hope you assholes are kidding. I am an atheist as should be plain from the context of my post.

I still remember Obama's 2008 race rally cry: "Mine will be the most transparent administration in (U. S.) history."
I now look at democrats who blame the republicans for the current state of government affairs and cry into my pillow.
OP here; use this link. I posted it in the article but /. saw fit to omit it for whatever reason.

Calling the police/security is reasonable. Using physical/electrical violence isn't.
Its only going to get worse. With measures like this being put into place without congressional over site how far can we be from a total police state?
Yeah, she should have done it like a slick democrap and just paid off everyone involved.
You mean selling her own property for a profit? God forbid.
No. More likely she was setting up her own do-it-your-self export business.

Glad I didn't buy a Nokia phone...
