by enforcing one of those stupid "passwords must contain..." rules, you're actually mathematically reducing the number of possible variations for a given password length, and also making it far MORE predictable, not less.
Everyone with more than half a brain already knows that there's a GIANT difference between what the NSA/CIA/Police/Government CLAIM they do, and what they ACTUALLY do. So I guess that just leaves liberals and WaPo readers.
I'm guessing thats really because most of the people of the world still don't live in first-world countries with significant disposable income and high-bandwidth internet.
The way he got into multiple US government systems was with a simple script that just tried logging into the windows adminstrator account with an empty password. Guess what, it worked MANY times.
at around 3:00 he said that while he was logged into these supposedly secure Pentagon, NASA and other US government systems, netstat ususally showed that there was a "permanent tennancy of other hackers" from around the world from IP addresses originating in Turkey, Germany, Holland, etc.
I'm just amazed this wasn't already the case years ago. It seems hard to believe that until now that there really are more PCs running windows out there than all the people with android phones in the world. I wonder if they've still been counting windows licences for PCs that have actually been disposed of/recycled years ago, and those running Linux and other OS's just because they actually got sold with a windows licence?
"It is against the law for anyone to distribute images of child exploitation."...said the company responsible for hosting and making availble those images.
Nope. This is a common misconception. Their job is to protect (and enrich) the US Federal government, not the US people. Thats also true of the police. Their job is to enforce the law, which is written to do the same thing. They really aren't (and can't/won't be) there to protect your ass. Thats just one of the reasons why the 2nd amendment is so important.
At least the sega arcade games have an array of IR transmitters around the screen, and the gun is actually a detector. That is true even for the older games with a CRT or CRT-based projector (House of the Dead, Maze of kings etc).
I don't think thats even slightly as clear as you sem to believe. In 2011, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), an arm of the World Health Organization (WHO), declared cell phones a Class B Carcinogen, meaning a âoepossible cancer-causing agent,â based on the available research. http://articles.mercola.com/si...
I believe the standard effectively just describes the nature of the interaction, and people can still use any DRM algorithm they want under the covers, so its still not a one-hack-cracks-all situation.
I hate DRM as much as anyone but lets face it, if he did not ratify it into the standard, DRM isn't then just gonna magically go away. The only effect not ratifying it would actually have is to ensure the continued existence of a fragmented mess of multiple different actual implementations across different sites.

Yeah sorry I'm not that familiar with the fucked-upness that is CA laws because I live in AZ, where You can legally carry here (concealed or otherwise) in a car or anywhere else except a few obvious places, even without a CCW permit.

I totally misread the headline as a 30GB Deportation Threshold.
At least In the EU its legal to stream pirated content.

A political point-scoring game, nothing more.
Ooh great anal-ogy.
>> Do they think they're the only ones who found these exploits?
I'm reminded of this interview with Gary Mckinnon (Scottish hacker of US government systems).

It stopped being anything to do with actual musical talent and started being all about marketing to gullible teenagers like 50+ years ago.

Please cite credible references that back up your claims about the unreliability of the WHO.
Isn't this the problem that Java was trying to solve?
>> You are quoting WHO & The Daily Mail? Seriously? Has the National Enquirer weighed in here yet?
The WHO is the health arm of the United Nations. Please provide citations that you are even more of a world-class authority on health.

I'm with you. I think the trouble with allowing any common-sense laws in is that the democrats would just see them as the thin end of the wedge.
Still not half as bad as the stupid American date convention of
Month-Day-Year.
