No, changing MAC addresses is not an option either. What would you change it to? What if more than one person did it? You can really fuss to get it to work on cable, but a non-shared medium is going to send up a shitload of flags, and cause issues for at least two parties, if not everyone plugged into the same switch.
ipV6 with mandatory ingress and egress filtering at all routed connections, from the ISP to the backbone, and portable address spaces based on a logical heirarchy would go a lot farther.
the recent lawsuits that were stemming from some woman in the office being passed over for a promotion because some middle manager was boning someone else, and even though the bone-ee was qualified and deserved the promotion, the other employee, henceforth referred to as 'The Prude', felt that she would have to take a boning for a promotion, even though the boss showed no interest in her, had never implied that The Prude would have to be the recipient of a boning to get anywhere in the company, or had even acted in an unprofessional manner towards The Prude. She won money, and the companies cried foul. Now, instead of logic, they apply this knee-jerk reaction.
So do you think that there is going to be a shift in how computers receive software, back to a true client-server model? Instead of loading software on your computer, you just visit a website?
I know a lot of people are saying that this is the panacea for cross platform, or platform agnostic software, local disk crashes, and all the other issues which go along with it, but I don't don't think that I'll trust my data to IntellaMegaHumongoCorp just yet, and I don't think that my company will either.
It'll stop them bleaching $1 bills and printing fifties. The organized rings are still the big issue, but at least you don't have the secret service running after some kid when he copies his lunch money.
It was only a half-assed measure. I've been saying it from day one. Sequentially larger bills to avoid bleaching them and printing larger denominations on the bill, large watermarks that are difficult if not impossible to reproduce on consumer-grade equipment, put the metallic stripes on the outside of the paper so that you don't have to really study what it is, and different colours for different bills, will stop this penny-ante bullshit in its tracks. You won't have kids running off fake bills on their home printers, you won't have to put all the crap into the software to prevent people scanning it, and you won't have to fuck with people's laser printers.
Of course it means getting new presses and plates, but they make new plates all the time, and continue to make new dies so that every state can have their slogan on it, and Fark can have a Photoshop contest.
Just because you're paranoid, doesn't make it any less true.
You want to stop counterfitters? Design real money, instead of the single-colour, same sized bills that they keep making. Take the mom-and-pop operations out of the picture, then work on the foreign governments, and organized criminals.
Print out a letter to a congressman, or even better, one about a certain CIA agent who's husband doesn't want to toe the political line, or an e-mail saying who was responsible for the aforementioned leak, and tell me that it won't be a bit tempting to track it down, even if there was no actual crime committed.
There doesn't seem to be a wp-config.php file. I need this before we can get started. Need more help? We got it. You can create a wp-config.php file through a web interface, but this doesn't work for all server setups. The safest way is to manually create the file.
People are dumping because they're afraid that the company will get riddled with civil suits. I can't wait to see the class-action lawsuit commercials.
Personally I think 94.8% is pretty awful. I don't think 99.4% is very good either. But there is no doubt that audio quality is getting better. I only maintain my land line now for my HD Tivo to dial out from.
I only use my landline as a tax shelter to save my millions upon millions of dollars from the taxman.
How about Asterisk? Can it blackhole calls based on caller id?
I'd pay for it to be able to do that. Private number? Voicemail! Long distance number? Check the whitelist, then Voicemail! Known telemarketer? The special,/i> voicemail!
How long does it take you to download an MP3, or whatever media apple uses? Now compare that to a full length movie. If you replicate it during closing hours over high speed connections, then the customers can download it at wire speeds. Stream the files early, and every Friday, you can have dozens of new releases set to go.
Sell ad space for the people to watch as their movies are being transferred.
For the true shut-ins, let them download it off the web, but then they'll have to deal with all the other crap that goes with that; incomplete transfers, slow connections, huge bandwidth. Could you imagine if everyone in New York decided to download a movie every Friday? Even half of them?
What about walking into your local blockbuster, paying your money, and walking out with the movie on your Apple(TM) iPod(TM) iVideo(tm)? No need to return it, no late fees. Make it plug into your TV. Hell, you wouldn't even need a blockbuster, just a kiosk at the supermarket, mall, etc.
Alan has shown enough reason, good judgement, and overall technical prowess to be the voice of reason in these matters. Ask him. If he says, "Sure. It can only help", then sign me up. But I don't think that he'll be saying that anytime soon.
The same people who don't know that Macs still exist, that they have choice.
Just wait until the monitor companies start doing reverse checks to see if your computer is 'secure' enough, that your video card drivers are 'secure' enough, that your OS is 'secure' enough.
Then wait for the golden age of technology to crumble, us lower class citizens cast into the darkness of ignorance.
It's time to buy our own fucking island boys. Start printing passports, kiss your loved ones good-bye. Leave the sick and infirmed at home, let them deal with the mess. Just bring enough gear to hold lan parties, and enough guns to hold the corporations at bay.

Didn't see that coming. Maybe their old tactics weren't working so well, so they had to adapt?
Naw, it's an intelligent design!

Or to work. You might want to turn over every six episodes of Friends to prevent yourself from melding into the couch though.

How much do souls go for nowadays, and is it a lump sum payment, or in installments?
Also, they have a BHO remover. Firefox doesn't have that!
That's phase two.

You'd need a father of a donation too to completely fix their genetic makeup.

Just point the DNS to a child porn site, then rat out the complainers to the feds. Problem solved!
It's easier than calling them terrorists, and you need even less proof.
I forgot is a valid defense if and only if "I forgot" decrypts the files. Other than that, it's rubber hose time.

Hey, LinuxFormat from the U.K. costs me $18.99 an issue after exchange and shipping to Canuck Bucks. £8.99 sounds about right.
Caaught me off guard there. Good one!
And you saved me $19.99!
