Easy solution: Store self-signed certificate in DNS, access it using DNSSEC.
As an attacker, I'd just intercept all DNS requests, use a bunch of glue records to provide valid, but untrue DNSSEC records at higher levels which other DNSSEC records would validate against. Using a pregenerated seed, I could generate lots of records live on the fly extremely quickly too.
Your DNSSEC aware resolver isn't going to do much against someone who can do a proper MITM attack.
For every site you have to pay to get something online, not just information, there's at least 10 more that will give it to you for free.
Not in my experience. Maybe with generic things like news, but with highly specialized subjects such as specific up to date books for doing amateur radio license training by the RSGB, you're out of luck.
For the very rare occasion that it doesn't work I can always start IE.
The hilarious thing is that IE8 won't work for me on sites that don't work with Firefox. I'd need to use IE6 which isn't available on my OS. Before anyone suggests it, IE6 standalone executables seem pretty hit and miss too.
Right now even if I wanted to I couldn't install IE9 because it isn't supported by XP.
Considering the mainstream support life cycle for XP has ended, it's not really suprising. I do find it annoying when developers waste time on deprecated software honestly.
(Yes, I know I can get it myself, but I want the regular install so subsequent updates "just work" without me having to subscribe to a mailing list to discover when they have appeared).
My overall reasons for choosing Firefox over Chrome is the lower memory usage (I don't use stuff like adblock which chews a ton of memory), and sites generally are more likely to work for me in Firefox.
Examples of sites that don't work with Chrome but do in Firefox (either by some functions being broken or not working at all) in my experience: Zimbra's administration panel, Citibank poland, HSBC UK, Monster, Desert Sun Classifieds and others that I can't recall off the top of my head.
Is the "appstore" tag on this story referring to the Apple Appstore, or the Amazon Appstore... ?
Apple's trademark consists of "App Store", two capitalizations and a space while Amazon uses "appstore" as one word without a space no capitalization. It's obviously Amazon's.
There is infinite supply of spectrum if you are willing to invest in equipment to use it that way.
Are you intending to be intentionally miss leading? Propogation issues is a huge a problem depending on which frequency range you're using, then it's further complicated by the fact that you have a finite limit of how much data you can put through an allocated set of frequencies that fits your purpose, even with wide spread frequency radios
All frequencies can be split many many times.
You can introduce multiple feeds of data with wide spread frequency radios that use frequency-hopping spread spectrum methodology to work could certainly do this, but many frequencies would have issues of noise, doppler shifts and even obstacles. Then to further be capable of handling vast amounts of data... You're severely limited in range of frequencies you can use for this technology.
I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's a huge amount of engineering involved that would be difficult to provide a growing need for bandwith. Especially when these useful frequencies are taken up already by a lot of legitimate uses to begin with.
It's just an expression. It means to play an online game for profit by performing very menial tasks for long hours, then selling your gains for real currency.
I fail to grasp how this can be applied to Second life still. There isn't any 'very menial tasks' that I'm aware of where you can make money.
b) Bypassing security mechanisms is the key idea behind the DMCA line of argumentation. Why is copying a DVD an illegal act and breaking into a router is not?
Believe it or not, the US laws aren't international law. Holland does have the DMCA as a part of it's laws.
c) I spent considerable amount of time composing and testing a secure WPA key, which I keep to myself like my social security number or my ID card. Therefore, my WEP key is my private sensitive personal data that should be protected by law.
That does not fit the privacy law definitions of what constitutes as "personal information" used in Europe. A simplified version for your understanding:
Information, whether true or not and whether recorded in a material form or not, about an individual whose identity is apparent or can reasonably be ascertained from the information.
d) If I remember well, the contract and TOS of my ISP, who installed for me their ADSL wireless modem/router, specifically prohibits non-contractors (e.g. neighbours) accessing my router without my knowledge. In addition, in some countries, which escape me now (Germany?), it's quite illegal to operate an open (not password-protected) router.
I'm not complaining about the news / not news content of this, but it's at least 3 days old (for us here in Oz, even on the other side like I am). What's happened to/.'s timeliness?
I used to be in the PC gaming world and had a lot of fun - when the games worked. Crysis was the nail in the coffin for me (along with a few other titles). Too much managing of the BIOS, video card updates, patches, etc. When you have all the recommended hardware for the game and it still crashes, there is a problem. I've now sworn off PC gaming and bought a console and am quite happy with my decision.
Let me just put forward that I am in the PC gaming world and have a lot of fun. Games generally work fine for me and didn't require really any BIOS, video card updates. As for patches, Steam auto patches my games, so I don't really notice.
To summarise, I don't have the problems you're experiencing with PCs, I don't doubt you do, but just putting forward that this isn't something all PC gamers experience.
Minecraft needs a bit of graphical horsepower for its shaders and alpha not because it is terribly taxing on a system, but that Java is senile old hog.
I've had to write 3d simulations in Java that looked far better than minecraft and had far more complex meshes involved. It ran decently (about 40fps) on old windows XP systems running on a Geforce 4 with just 512MB of RAM, I doubt it would have ran much better if it was written in C++. It did not make use of JNI to escape the Java API.
Looking at the bottlenecks of where Minecraft loses performance on, it's problem is its implementation, not the runtime.

The one that really matters to me is produced code that executes faster and LLVM still does not do that sufficiently compared to GGC.
Maybe you can explain what the problem is with providing the source modifications to Samba, I don't get the problem.
I think you're missing the point, they don't want Limewire to pay, they want Limewire to go bankrupt and die.
You must be new here...
Slashdot is well known for having news articles late, duplicates and even posting articles from a few years ago as new news.

So, what you're saying is.. Because 'app store' is a generic term, you wouldn't know, correct?
As this is despite the fact Android calls theirs Android Marketplace etc.
So in summary, because it's a generic term, Apple shouldn't have that trademark.
I'm reminded of a phone call I got some years ago with an angry man who was very upset his 98 windows didn't arrive with his computer.
Apple's trademark consists of "App Store", two capitalizations and a space while Amazon uses "appstore" as one word without a space no capitalization. It's obviously Amazon's.

Both licenses. Fortunately the Standard C++ Library is pretty liberal.

It's still not an open configuration.
1) How do you mine gold or whatever in Second life?
2) Why would you mine gold or whatever in Second life?
Doesn't make my comment less invalid. The people I hang out with don't simply acknowledge a business card to be reality.
The "chicks" I hang out with are not fooled by a piece of paper.

Minecraft is the exception, not the rule.
I'm not really seeing a trend take place, honestly.
