They may have the right to show ads, as you say. But they have absolutely no right to demand that I view them.
If you're not willing to support sites you like by viewing ads, why do you visit the sites? No one is *demanding* that you visit their site. If a majority of people started using noscript and adblockers web sites would drop like flies and your internet searches would come up much emptier if not empty. My bet is even/. will go offline if advertising revenue dries up.
What's the chance you'll come up with another idea of equal or better quality that you can turn into something worth $$$? Keep in mind that this is harder than you might think.
I wouldn't put it past some media channels from leaking secret or classified information.
So the real question is --- Who/What agency leaked it to the press? If it was classified information, how did the media find out if it wasn't leaked intentionally (what does that say about the agency involved), and if it was intentionally, why?
It's not a poor comparison, it's a real world comparison. People are more likely to properly secure wireless networks than wired networks. That's my main point.
Where do you get the data that validates your statement that people are more likely to properly secure wireless networks than wired networks?
I only allow public key connections, and am only listening on port 2022 (I have no issues telling the world that).
My auth.log is completely empty of password attempts. Am I missing something simple-stupid or is the bot net only going after port 22?
You're not missing anything. I have used other ports for things like ssh for a long time. I changed after watching one IP try to brute force one of my sites for 8 days straight, 24 hours a day. Since changing ports I *very* rarely see a break-in attempt.
If the NY Times or any other paper wants to tell Google, "You may visit our site, but you may not remove anything from the store" they have every right to do so.
Which the NY Times or any other paper can do with a simple robots.txt file. No rocket science here.
I'm sorry, but however recommends using an HD as a backup solution, shouldn't be talking about backup.
HDs are NOT backup media.
I just finished up taking about 40 hard drives that I have used for backup over the years and consolidating them onto 2TB drives. Every drive (the oldest is about 10 years old) spun up and all data transferred without a problem.
I've been using hard drives to back up data for years and never had a problem.
Just because someone has the "right" to do something doesn't make it a fair or acceptable business practice.
Problem is, each of us have a different opinion as to what is "...a fair or acceptable business practice..."
BTW - No, MS won't sue anyone for installing Windows on any hardware it will run on. Microsoft is a software company and always has been. If MS tried to define what hardware Windows would run on they'd be out of business.
And if cops come calling they'd have a perfectly valid probable cause, namely a freshly arrested employee that you hired. If drugs were found on him, and at his house, then why not at work? If they don't have a search warrant it's only because it would be mighty stupid for a manager to say "no" to them. They'd just call your boss and the company loses two people for the price of one. No company can say "no" to a *reasonable* request of police. Besides, they can also arrest you for obstruction of justice or things like that, never charge though, so you only get to spend a night in jail, and then explain your actions to your boss again... good luck with that.
I've known a lot of people who were busted over the years and not once did the police go to where they worked to search or anything else. Nice straw man, though.
I tried Netflix a few years back for about 5 or 6 months but canceled. After a few months the throttle kicked in and it took forever to get flicks. I have other places to get videos since then.
Yup. My house is paid off. I have absolutely no debt. I don't owe on anything. I don't know what my house and property is worth right now, but I really don't care. My investments consist mainly of Canadian 1 oz maple leafs and cash which I keep at home. I'm a saver, not a spender.
as the Clinton administration proved, it is not punishable - "no controlling authority". The Obama administration which is already starting out with corruption will do the same. Status quo.
I almost went with a manual start generator and manual switch, but since I own my house and am an old, semi-retired guy, I opted for the expensive route. Sometimes I do travel a bit and it didn't make much sense for me to put in something that I have to be here to turn on. All my electronics are on UPS boxes but I have them sized to carry the equipment on each for about 1 hour. The ATS 'listens' and wants to see 3 seconds of out of tolerance line voltage and/or frequency before it kicks the generator in. The generator takes 5 to 10 seconds to start and kick in.
You may be right. I will say that when Cincinnati got the wind storm last summer, I was on the generator for about 4 hours. I was lucky. One friend was out for 3 WEEKS! Anyway, Kohler called me about 3 days into the outage to remind me about the 150 hour oil change. They didn't mention the plugs. They said they were calling all local owners to make sure they knew about the 150 hour oil change 'requirement'. It's simple. Stop the generator and there's a hose that drops down to change the oil. But you're right. Continuous operation is entirely different than intermittent.
Just quoting the manufacturer's maintenance schedule. I haven't hit 150 hours so I haven't even changed the oil on mine yet. I'd have to pull the plugs at 300 hours and see if the plugs 'need' to be replaced. Then again, as long as it's in warranty I will follow manufacturer's schedule. No way I want to void the warranty. I'll 'go cheap' after the warranty runs out.
My Kohler is exercised once a week for 20 minutes. The transfer switch holds the electronics that act as the timer and control for the generator. You can set it to run with a load (disconnects the house from the mains and powers the house) or just exercise the engine. 17KW Kohler and 200 Amp Automatic Transfer Switch
Look at the warranties for 'Whole House' backup power generators before buying. I got a Kohler 17KW natural gas/propane and automatic transfer switch with a 5 year full guarantee (Mine is natural gas, but an orifice change is all that's needed to run it on propane). And it's really quiet. It sits outside my bedroom wall and it's little more than a bit of a hum (easy to sleep through). But it was expensive to buy and install, and it's expensive to run, but when you need it, it's very appreciated. 17KW will handle most gas homes, but if you have all electric you better be looking at 25KW+. Those have small car engines in them (liquid cooled) and they REALLY suck up the gas. NOTE: Assume 150 hours to an oil change and 300 hours for plugs, so if you are expecting to be out for a week or more you'll need extra oil, oil filters and possibly a couple of extra spark plugs.
... because liberals don't believe in fairness - they believe in winning and advancing their agenda at all costs, even if it means politicizing the media, education, the courts, anything. By any means necessary.

Yeah - I'm visiting /. less these days other than to read the 'headlines'. Too much garbage in threads.

Stocks are going down. Don't buy stock.
Not to worry. Most investors have lost so much they don't have money to invest whether stocks go up or down.

Not to mention a full 5 year warranty. I've been very happy with the Kohler people and with their generator and transfer switch products.
