Actually that is intentional and well thought out. It prevents people from typing in that IP and trying to do something. When real phone numbers appeared on TV or in songs it was quite annoying for the person whose number that was. They are just trying to avoid similar inconveniences.
Why not just use private network IP addresses then? It's not like there aren't thousands to choose from. Most of the general public probably wouldn't know the difference, making it much more "realistic."
they played a lame censored version of Jet Airliner, with the words "funky shit" changed to "funky Stuff"
There's a radio edit of that song with the line changed to 'funky kicks.' As far as I know, Miller recorded it that way.
What's surprising is that when Money for Nothing came out, MTV did not censor the part about the 'little faggot with the earring and the makeup' which did create quite a stir
True, Bioshock's gameplay was slow for the first level or two, but the plot is what drew me in. Well, that and the art deco designs.
The first two Halo games were terribly slow for the first level (or first part of the first level). Hell, in Combat Evolved the player doesn't even get a weapon until he runs half-way across the ship.
And, for the record, you suck at Halo 3. AND my uid is lower than yours;)
I knew a consultant in Europe who didn't fly and travelled[sic] internationally by rail (almost) exclusively...
That would be a great option for me if all of my international business travel took me to Canada or Mexico. Call me crazy, but I'd rather fly than take a trans-Atlantic (or trans-Pacific) train.
Whether they hate Microsoft or love Microsoft, it still makes a lot of sense that if you're providing Unix-based services, you'd also want to be using Unix-based client-machines. It would just be a better solution for a variety of technical and non-technical reasons.
Until you factor in the time and cost associated with training the marketing department, various accounting departments and other departments filled with non-technical persons who have probably never even looked at a *nix-based machine on how to use the new stuff.
In a (well, my) perfect world, everyone would be running some flavor of *nix. That, however, is not a reality for a good portion of the population who still refer to their web browser as "the Internet."
There's not a big enough savings advantage to downloading them and saving them vs. just buying them myself.
For some people, it's not about cost savings or convenience. It's about bucking the system, screwing the man, and not giving royalties to the MPAA and megacorps like Sony. Top it off with the fact that that you're doing something (arguably) illegal and immoral, and you have a movement. A revolution, if you will.
I'm not necessarily saying I support it, but I think that's the mindset of a lot of people.
But a key generator (or something what would appear to be similar to a key generator) may not necessarily be a "bad" thing.
I think the point Sycraft-fu was trying to make backfired on him. Why was this user given root (sudo, whatever you want to call it) access on this box and running an FTP server that was so poorly configured? The real point is that AV software can't be depended upon. Nor can the operating system's willingness to allow root to create an FTP server, world writable, with a root directory of/. Even *nix would allow that. The policy maker (since this guy was obviously dabbling in something he knew nothing about) should have prevented this from happening.
Whole systems scans should not need to be performed more than once, on install.
Whole system scans should also be run every time the definitions are updated. AV software tends not to know about a particular virus signature until that virus has already been released in the wild. If you don't re-scan after updating your AV, you could have a previously unknown -- but now known -- virus that will continue to go undetected.
Ya well turns out they can if you are dumb enough to have a world writable FTP server with the root directory of/, which is what this idiot had done. I don't even know that it was being used for anything other than a public warez FTP, but still, the point is MacOS couldn't defend against extreme stupidity.
Well, hopefully, the Halo movie won't have flashes of the actual Halo video game (with "Insert Coin to Play") popping up sporadicly, ala House of the Dead.

RISC architecture is gonna change everything!

Here were my answers: butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly.
Funny. My answers were: butterfly, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina.

At least Palin wants creationism taught alongside evolution.
While running for Governor of Alaska, Palin supported the open debate of creationism alongside evolution in schools;[41] however, she noted that "creationism doesn't have to be part of the curriculum" and that she would not use "religion as a litmus test, or anybody's personal opinion on evolution or creationism" as criteria for selection to the school board.
McCain didn't actually vote against it. He wasn't present.

Yes, this was a SCHOOL... these are the people teaching your kids what to think...
I like to let the TV teach my kid what to think
Actually, it's the third split. Motorola spun off it's semi-conductor division in 1999. Business Week article

How on earth would AV catch this?
In Soviet Russia, discussion generate this!
Actually, the coward had it right.
The story is about a PowerPoint attack (PowerPoint attack you!). So, if we reverse things ala Soviet Russia, we get "You attack PowerPoint."
Only a New Kids on the Block fan would still be buying tapes...
Leave the poor guy alone. It's not his fault his first and last names are both euphemisms for 'penis.'

I'm sure cell providers have some kind of "SendMessage(msg, *@provider.net)" functionality.
So, if the U.S. gets invaded I'll get an SMS saying "All our base are belong to them?"
Does that mean AOL will continue to lead the world in spam?
Mod parent up. Great idea.
