Yes, but it will remain that way for largely practical reasons I think you meant to say largely economic reasons. We are forcing people into an educational situation when their brain is not ready for it. Apparently the money is more important then the learning experience.
What are you talking about? How can giving a secret key to a third-party 'secure DNS'. If I am the only one who has a key to my house and I make an additional copy and give it to a third-party, my house is now less secure. Why are you and the article spinning this as a some greater level of security.
Your correction about IP vs DNS spoofing is correct.
That is what I meant. If MS owns both the browser and the server, it could track whether pages visited also hit the real doubleclick servers and take 'appropriate' action. IE 7 already has 'Phishing' filter technology which sends your URL to a central server. Combine that technology with the doubleclick server and viola...
Personally, I run Centos at home and on a server for a non-profit hobby. However, for work, I purchase the license and support RH.
They have pretty much priced themselves out of reach for the non-corporate user. Prior to the Fedora project, I always ran Redhat on everything.
The fact that Centos can provide the builds they do is a testament to OSS movement.
The blame also should fall on the regulators allowing this genetically modified foodstuffs to be sold without public disclosure. All the 'free market fundamentalist' types should be in favor of labeling so consumers can decide if they want to buy this stuff or not.
You don't have to buy anything, just walk up to a representative sample of people who think that global warming is anthropogenic and say, "actually I think it's probably just a natural cycle." You must have more faith in people than I do. I was listening to C-SPAN callin a few weeks ago where there were two sides to the debate:
Patrick Michaels of the Cato Institute and Daniel Lashof of Natural Resources Defense Council.
The Cato Insitute guy seemed like a denier/shill to me. He is also a Professor at Univerity of Virginia. However, the point I wanted to make was that there was a caller from Florida (sounded like an older woman) who asked 'What I want to know is how will this global warming impact me where I live?'. The essence of her question was that she could care less what happened to 'others in the world', would it impact her in Floria, in her retirement house. Completely lost on her was any concept of 'Global', or 'Ecosystem', or 'Feedback loop', or 'Weather does not stop at the Nations Borders'.
This raises the larger question...At what point do you stop funding the scientists investigating that the Earth is flat? At some point, the evidence becomes
overwhelming and those who ignore it really are 'deniers'. I'm not sure about this particular scientist, but a lot of those skeptics are funded by
the very corporations who have a vested interest in doing nothing. For how long was there a group of scientist who claimed that cigarette smoking could not be linked to any negative health effect data?
You hit the nail on the head. The Cellular carriers are being slowed because of the extra customization required to disable all the useful features that
cut into their profits. It takes 10 times longer to disable the capability for the owner of the phone to load their own local ringtones, use their own Wifi or Bluetooth on 10 different phones rather than 1. They've got to test all those crippled permutations which slow time to market.
This is mainly marketing hype. The Seagate drives are now the worlds most secure because they are shipped in a 'Clamshell/Blister Pack'. I dare anyone without specialized tools to access it.
which was aborted in 2003 due to privacy concerns Actually, it wasn't 'aborted'. Congress using their power of the purse, held hearings, said it was unlawful, and specifically defunded it.
The fact that it has resurfaced just shows that this administration could care less about the law. [See yesterdays articles about the FBI abusing
national security letters]
At the federal level, it depends on the president. Clinton was fairly liberal with his pardons. Bush is tight with his. Whoop dee do.
Most of the 'controversial' pardons are granted the last day of office, so there is not enough data to compare the current president and former. Report back in 2008 when there is more data.
What makes this different is that the seller wrapped their product in DRM. The whole justification for DRM was
to lock up the content to protect 'their rights'. If you wish to return a product, the DRM can be used to revoke your rights, effectively relinquishing your ownership. A return requirement makes perfect sense for DRM'd items. The problem is the sellers want to have it both ways--selling their DRM version,
but not providing returns--a lose lose for consumers.
While you are performing your calculations...Please calculate the cost a 1 trillion dollar Iraq War financed via our debt on a per household basis. I imagine the interest on that alone will be enourmous. That war is a cost due to our reliance on foreign sources of energy. Unfortunately these hidden costs never get mentioned in the cost analysis against alternative sources of energy (solar, wind, etc).
a lot of counties decided to revert to old-skool paper and pencil voting because of the same issues
Unfortunately, pencil and paper voting was rejected. Of the 5 prototype pencils tested, 4 contained lead and the one lead-free pencil was determined to lose it sharpness after several votes.
Perhaps, but they will also list the same amount as an expense--thus the amounts would cancel out. That is why when you due your due diligence you look beyond the press releases.
And sometimes when things are going to get 'rough' they turn off the cameras or put other squad cars in the camera field of vision to defeat the recording.
Come on, I think cops are a pain in the ass as much as the next guy, but they don't just beat you for no reason.
Yeah, sometimes the suspect is black. Sometimes they dont have the 'right attitude'. Sometimes you get a cop who had a bad day and abused their power to feel better about themselves. And sometimes you deserve it.
No, I think the OP read the article headline of 'Google Launches Website Optimizer' and thought it had to do with optimizing the HTML of a website. The article should hasve been titled 'Googles Launches Ad-Revenue Optimizer to Select Advertisers'.
FTA, 'Wonderfulbuys.com customer service manager Frank Joseph initially said the site was "unhackable" after being contacted by a washingtonpost.com reporter.'.
Here is a reporter contacting you with evidence that data from your website is being trafficked on forums associated with identify theft/credit card trading and your first instinct it to say its impossible. With that attitude no wonder that website didn't have good controls in place.
However, a subsequent manual review by ScanAlert determined that hackers broke into Wonderfulbuys's database through a previously undocumented security hole in the site's shopping cart software, which the company had custom-made by a third-party software development firm based in India.
If you read the article, you will find that there was NOT a checklist mentality. It was actually the opposite. The FBI wasnt sure what they wanted and relied on a 'trial and error' mentality.
I love how even in this case where the government completely and totally outsourced the software development to the private sector, there are tons of/. posts about the government incompetence and how they alone are responsible for this taxpayer fraud. The FBI was not the expert in software development. They hired a private sector company to provide these services and the company failed and overcharged. The company did not perform ethically.

Perhaps the next IE update will add a new 'feature' to detect if ads are blocked/domains are localhosted and deny access to the webpage?
Despite your 'homelinux.net', are you running this on Windows? It crashes on 2.0.0.3 on Linux for me.
Maybe the story should be $38billion lost because someone forgot 'mt -f /dev/st0 setblk 0'.

Its misleading. Some folks were saying, 'If you ignore climate change, millions of humans could be killed'. He took it personally.
