An extension of their most certainly not dead Fair Game policy, which states that Scientology critics, or "Suppressive Persons (SPs)", "may be deprived of property or injured by any means by any Scientologist without any discipline of the Scientologist. May be tricked, sued or lied to or destroyed."
Scary stuff, especially for a group claiming to be a religion.
Yes, because it would be unconscionable to design a system where the duress code did not let you in. I would assume the duress code successfully authenticates you but alerts security.
The members of Anonymous that did these hacks, if, in fact, that is who planned them, are likely not the same people protesting the Scientology organization.
One of the things about Anonymous that makes it different than most groups is that there are no real leaders and that, due to its very nature, nobody really knows anyone else in the group short of a few people that they might know outside the anonymous forums (this is because on a lot of the boards that Anon originated on, posters are forced to post anonymously, hence the name).
So it's really impossible to tell whether the people doing this are the same ones behind the masks at the protests.
Spamming these addresses has effectively zero cost. Therefore, since there are real people at the other end, there is no reason for a spammer not to add them to their overall list.
I am better than you because I find it easier to lie to people, and this skill is necessary to be a good politician. Also, your father smells of elderberries.
Nah. I bet this could be designed in such a way that NAT still exists behind the router; the routed traffic can't actually get into the internal network of the users' PCs and devices unless they've specifically port-forwarded something in the router. Most malware worms spread by exploiting holes in Windows' WINS / file and printer sharing / etc. and if these ports are closed, there's no way they can get in (without breaking the router).
If I had mod points today, I would have modded you up rather than responding.
He lost me at that line too. I have *never* heard the acronym "YGTBKM", though it only took a few seconds to figure out what he meant there. And having LOL as a random exclamation in the middle of an otherwise serious line just made him look like an AOL teenager.
I think what non-tech-savvy business-people need to learn to communicate well with people like us is that in formal communications, we communicate formally, like I'm typing now. Just because we relax our standards a bit when we're perhaps talking to our friends on IRC or IM services doesn't mean that we'll do it in places where complete, readable English is a better method.
See, this is why I like (truthfully) having a list of all of these languages on my resume (save Perl). It can get me in the door to any company that seems interesting and innovative.
If it were legal to copyright rules and other such ideas, I could form a business made solely off of copyrighting rules and ideas that have not actually been implemented and suing those that do implement them. Sort of a patent troll on a much, much grander scale.
Why should I, as a Flash developer / animator, move to a less stable, less well-known, less-compatible platform from one that is stable, has many developers, is cross-platform (mostly), and can do, if I'm reading right, everything the other claims to be able to do already?
Not that I am a Flash developer (at least, I haven't been for a while), it's just a hypothetical.
I think the answer for Microsoft is "because we need you to help us create another hook to keep people on Windows." Linux beta, eh? I'll believe it when I see it.

This is more common than you might think; it has, in fact, been demonstrated that Scientology faked a bomb threat against themselves by Anonymous on YouTube earlier.

That only happens if you fail authentication.

We just keep the blank form and place Xs where appropriate. It's fun because everything fits it so far :^D
...they broke up Standard Oil and AT & T...
And in AT&T's case, have all but allowed them to reform.
If you think the "church" is evil as well. check out Operation Reconnect.
You can also find out why we protest.

Fixed that for you. Enjoy your karma loss.
Star Trek is what happens when the human genome is released as open source!
If you're a Web developer, you should ignore .NET and use something much less bloated.
There, fixed that for you.
I honestly don't know enough about Perl to say (something I intend to remedy one of these days) but my guess is PEAR is to PHP what CPAN is to Perl.
Indeed. See my signature for my feelings on the matter. ;^)
So, I'll use an IM service my company doesn't know about and encrypt the data through the line.
So the company should be in shit now for not having retained an impossible-to-retain conversation?

$30 million in bogus charges

$1.9 million in fines
=
$28.1 million of free stolen money!
Haha, I read it the same way. The misreading really highlights the real point of the argument.

In that nobody gives a shit about Silverlight except Microsoft and this is bringing attention to it.
Wanted: Experienced Silverlight Developer, must have 3+ yrs experience even though the product itself has been out less than a year.
;^)
Common enough on job boards anyway.
Check out ericatcw's previous Slashdot stories:
"Google Apps Slow to Replace Competition"
"Firefox Struggling to Compete as Corporate Browser"
Hell of a coincidence that they're all pro-Microsoft.

Good thing I never went to Ryerson. If I ever need to transfer to a school in Toronto, they're way off my list now.
