News to me. DOSing is usually done with the purpose of making sure no one can get a reliable connection to the server. That "no one" usually includes any person trying to also execute a more sophisticated attack.
You may be able to bring them to court if the 6 year old had said "I was involved in that crime that happened.".
As it would happen though, I agree with you on the age thing. The news I have been reading seems to place most of them in their mid to late twenties. Which is much worse for them, since people will think they should have known better.
I don't think it said anywhere that the upload was the illegal part. It's just a means for pirated data to be detected.
I'm not familiar with any lawsuits over the possesion of illegal music either (as opposed to sharing), but it's hardly a jump to assume that a court, when given evidence that someone has illegal data, would just think "It must have magically appeared!" instead of thinking it was shared (and hence still valid for a lawsuit).
They are shown in several instances to cut metal, what metal is the core made from?
Also, if it were bare metal striking bare metal, why does it spark so much on a simple non-sliding hit?
If the core is telescoping metal with a sufficient rigidity to take hard strikes, you would figure the nesting pieces would make a saber with a "blade" much thicker near the base, and thinner near the top. Why is it not so?
Wow. That's not even remotely what I took away from his comment. He was making (I assume) a joke to the effect that it would be difficult to mistake one for the other. Since that very type of mistake is what this is about, it is a pretty absurd lawsuit.
It's all about spreading the word. Advertising costs.
Of course if you were God, you could simply change the billboards without paying for someone to do it.
Reading any book does not make you a better person any more than violent video games make people violent. The ability to read at all certainly makes you a more useful person. There are a number of very intellegent yet very horrible people in the world.
I've never been on a commuter train (just a historical one in Utah). That actually sounds like a really pleasant way to travel. Better even than driving yourself.
I sincerely hope this is just a sarcastic joke.
There will always be a safer way to travel, but that doesn't mean it's "ok" when people die because their vehicle wasn't good enough. My grandfather died when his car was hit by a large freight truck. The guy in the truck was just fine of course. Does that mean the death was deserved since his car wasn't as well "armored" as the truck?
Apples and oranges. No one would care if they had more than one browser (I think it's a fair bet most people do). It is a horrible idea to run more than one AV system.
Also, just because they could now bundle it in, doesn't mean it is the best option. Since they had to let other people do AV, most people have their own now. It would be a bad practice at best to make all the machines run two AV systems, and people would cry foul if the software they paid for was forcefully removed.
Microsoft isn't really able to solve it at this time, but it isn't really an incompetence thing.
Because the only other option is just never to communicate information. All encryption can be undone given enough time, processing power, and a big enough sample of the data. The critical thing is just keeping up with the changning tactics and standards.
Not much. You're talking about stuff on the nano-scale. So small, it won't even look different to the naked eye. The same thermal compounds should work with about the same amount of efficiency.
Yes, if we discount things like ex-judicial detainment in gitmo as an inconvenient counterargument to rule of law and politicians calling for the summary execution of a non-American for treason for publishing as an inconvenient counterargument for freedom of the press, then yes, the USA is a shining example of a democracy.
This is part of the problem though. When illegals don't get treatment under our laws, people whine about it (even though it should only apply to actual legal citizens). Then when they hear about someone being suggested for a death sentence because of breaking our laws, they think that they shouldn't be held to them. You don't get to have it both ways just because it is more convenient.
If you sell out the safety of our people, and then are caught, you absolutely deserve to die. At least we usually use quick methods (provided we ever get around to it with all the crappy legal battles). Most other places wouldn't be so kind.
Just becuase you make an old phrase popular, doesn't mean you get to own the phrase. People have used the term "app" in place of "application" for a long time. Furthermore, it is natural to assume a store selling apps is an app store (much the same way one selling groceries would be a grocery store). Given that the term is older than Apple's use of it, and highly generic, there is no reason Amazon shouldn't be able to use it.
My interpretation was that the zero and zero verify was actually not necessarily related to the destruction. I thought they were saying they zero'ed it, and then ran a test to see if the drive was perhaps still viable (after a clean wipe). Failing that test, they then destroyed it. I could be wrong on that though.

*golf clap* Well played sir.

Its Okay, everyone already knows computers are soul-less monsters. Christ has no place in them.
Yeah, but of the many profoundly wrong preachers, his word is most recently wrong. Pick someone else.

Sad and hilarious at the same time... I think you may be right.
I've never been on a commuter train (just a historical one in Utah). That actually sounds like a really pleasant way to travel. Better even than driving yourself.
Democrat right? BOTH parties are screwed up. Equally too.
So some Americans are slanted against Iran, and your slanted against Americans. Hardly gives you any room to speak.

So then I assume you believe no one would take offence to your comment either? It's a public forum, not that I condone it, but people are jerks.

(well ok, shouldn't be, who knows what the courts will decide...)
That's the most terrifying part of the whole thing!

Excellent point, but given that these types of lawsuit are usually usage type specific, it doesn't really apply here.

I thought they were saying they zero'ed it, and then ran a test to see if the drive was perhaps still viable (after a clean wipe). Failing that test, they then destroyed it.
