Mmm... I don't like that idea. Too much Socialism in it for one, and two the crap needs to sink. There are several news organizations that have survived online. They have interesting articles and reap advertising revenue. I don't want another dollar added to my interwebs bill just because NY Times can't figure out how to run themselves.
I just don't like ideas where someone is forced to pay for something they don't want because we feel the need to keep a dying industry alive( bet you can think of a few ). Now... if the newspaper organizations worked with all ISPs and offered them a cut of the profit if they marketed the $1.00 fee for their news and junk and the ISPs gave people the choice... I would be cool with that. We don't need to bail every dying business out. Honestly, I would probably pay like an extra 3 - 5 buckaroos per month via my interwebs bill if I got good news content for it. I'm willing to bet there are many folks like me, but there aren't many that would like to have a dollar added for another "bailout"... Just my $0.02
"Williams also hinted at tools pitched at enterprises designed to improve and speed up company-wide systems authentication. "When customers see and use the tools we are providing to support Windows Vista and Windows 7 deployments, we think they will be impressed," he said."
Riiiiight... tools. I see one tool and that's the asshat that thought this a grand idea. I have an MSDN subscription so I can have whatever I want from MSFT and I am so sick of DRM, Genuine Advantage, Activation and so on I might start punching babies soon.
This isn't a tool you f*ing jack*ss, it's a pain in the tush. A tool is something that will help you perform some desired action or reach some desired end. I'm fairly certain that no one in the world is just shaking with anticipation and excitement at the thought of using your "tools" to activate their copy of Windows 7...
Go ahead, put your tits online!! Why do moms that are nursing feel the need to show their junk in public? Now online... I don't really care about said issue, I just don't understand why otherwise normal women want to put their boobs on the web...
"By calling the extended stored procedure sp_replwritetovarbin, and supplying several uninitialized variables as parameters, it is possible to trigger a memory write to a controlled location. Depending on the underlying Windows version, it is / may be possible to use this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of the vulnerable SQL server process.
In a default configuration, the sp_replwritetovarbin stored procedure is accessible by anyone. The vulnerability can be exploited by an authenticated user with a direct database connection, or via SQL injection in a vulnerable web application."
Not that I don't think it's still shady... but... there really isn't a danger here unless you have a user that is already authenticated and can execute stored procedures or are vulnerable to a SQL injection. So you either pissed off the local nerd or you're a complete f*cktard and can't write a proper app... Either way you deserve what's comin!
"Women are 3 times more likely to attempt suicide than men, HOWEVER Men are 4 times more likely to die in a suicide attempt. Is this just because men are better at killing themselves than women? Or perhaps there is a gender difference in the reasoning behind why people choose to attempt suicide. "
I actually read a few things about that and it is because men choose much more violent ways to commit said act. Women tend to go for the OD, or poison themselves, while men choose guns, falls, or wrapping their car around a tree...
I know a few people that are generally unstable and I tend to steer clear of them.( I know that sounds shady.. ) I used to think I could help, but that is best left up to the professionals. Everything I said to those individuals would be turned into another reason to off themselves, I don't get it.... I don't think an Internet forum is a place to get help... most of the people on those forums are suicidal themselves. That is like giving a blind man a blind dog to help him get around... or... blind leading the blind.
I would say that if anyone you know or you have such thoughts... go see a shrink. Internet forums won't help. There are tons of organizations to help deal with those feelings.... and remember... hurting yourself to get back at someone won't work. If they don't give a sh1t about you when you're alive they won't when you're dead. Assholes are often heartless and don't care in general, even if you do succeed in making them sad that only lasts for what? a week... you're f*ing dead for good! Game over man! Do not pass go! That's it!
If you really want to get back at someone... find a creative way to F*K their life up... if they did you wrong( without physically assaulting them of course), buy a bag of weed and throw it in their locker, then alert the proper authorities and watch hilarity ensue(most dimebags will fit between the vents in the locker, then it's just an issue of timing). Think about it! Why in the hell would you harm yourself and those that love you cause some d-bag is acting up. Now I don't condone such things, but if you REALLY must act... don't act against yourself...
DISCLAIMER:
I am not responsible for your actions, nor am I saying I've ever done anything to anyone. Remember Karma... what goes around comes around. The people that are mean to you now will just end up being drunken, divorced, has-beens... Best recourse is to concentrate on moving yourself forward and let your accomplishments do the talking. AKA: Framing people = bad idea... along with anything else that could end up hurting physically or socially... bla bla bla...

Imagine coding without typing!! Oh how much that would rock! I wouldn't even have to be typing this right now... I could just think it onto the screen:: DREAMS::
That is a very broad definition of infrastrucure... and terrorism... if you hit a stop sign or a power line because you lost control of your car are you a terrorist? You affected "critical" infrastructure... We must be very carefull with this whole "call everything terrorism" thing. I think we are at critical mass with the current state of affairs. Our government has done a wonderfull job scaring personal freedoms out of us. Sure stealing copper and knocking out 911 service or power to an area is a deplorable act but not one of terrorism. The current tendency to call everything terrorism is very dangerous...
The first season was a bit weak I thought, but still pretty interesting. The rest were pretty good, the show had some success, until they went all soap opera on me... I did not watch most of the last season, or know if it is still broadcast somewhere... I for one am a nerd, so to some respect their target audience, I want to see spaceships, battles and things blowing up in cool new sci-fi ways! I don't want to sit there and watch a f*ing love story! The whole Starbuck, whatever the little Asian chicks name was, and so on type love story was booooooring! If this new Caprica show is the same I think I'd rather watch reruns of Biggest Loser or Yes Dear....
Erm... 1) That's soundboard pranking... been around for a while. ( http://tinyurl.com/5mlqkt ) 2) They weren't really a Unix company... more like a bunch of lying sacks of sh1te that had their ass3s handed to them in court. Good riddance to bad rubbish. As far as what Microsoft did, I think it was a good gamble. If SCO won that would have been good news for Microsuck...
The best thing to do before lifting or running is some streching/warming up much like you said. What I found to work best is to walk at a moderate pace for 2 minutes, jog for 2, run for 1. Then you can go into a lift or a faster run. The cardio should get blood flowing to muscles and get you ready for exercise. Only moderate streching is needed, like calves, ankles, quads and hams ( yea that's pretty much the whole leg ), the point is do just one or 2 quick streches per mucle group, then run to warm up the rest of your body. There was a thing about this in Muscle and Fitness mag a while back..
Linksys used to be good until Cisco bought them and pimped all the hardware so that you couldn't install 3rd party firmware, and you'd have to buy Ciscos bullshit. They nuked the hardware so bad that their own firmware was unstable, which was when I decided I would never buy Linksys again. At this point I don't think there's a decent router out there... I've tried Linksys, D-Link, Netgear, some piece of shit I can't remember the name of, and finally settled for Buffalo something or other. The Buffalo router while missing many features gives me very little shit, still not good as it could be.
Honestly the best setup I had was running Smoothwall, and that was a while back. My wireless router was just there to push signal, it had no control over my interwebs. It just sucks that I have to build a box with 3 NICs in it just to have decent f*ing routing, port forwarding and so on.
That being said the Smoothwall setup was pretty nice...
Oh and... WEAK D-LINK!!! WEAK!!! FEATURE!?!?!? GO F*k A GOAT! Maybe you can fool some regular reject user to believe the horseshit you're trying to shovel our way but when you talk to someone in the IT industry and feed us that shit... you're just insulting us. Go F*k yourselves... if you wondered how I felt!
So he was hacking into some system but cannot send an anon email properly... For fudgesicles sake!!! The most likely set of events was him finding someones password and stumbling upon an Excel sheet. That or the retards left the Administrator password blank... In which case I would have thrown the file on BT... HAHAHHAHA... From the article it sounds like he used someone's ID and passwd... So that's not really hacking, it's just getting into sh1t you're not supposed to be in. Now... if he found some server that was not patched properly and used a known exploit on said server to gain control/access, that is hacking. Next time just leave a note.. you know.. those funny 8.5x11" things called sheets of paper... they can be written on. If you're smart enough you'll even change your writing. Those 5" sticks that make marks are called pens... PS: Your fingers have a bad habit of leaving markings called fingerprints lol... so wear gloves... or just stfu and move on... leave the honeypot for the rest of us:)
Your comment is so short sighted that I would argue you have a problem with getting out and discovering the world. Not everyone that plays MMOs is a nerd living in their parents basement. I hunt, fish, am married, go out with the wife and friends, and play WoW. If your significant other is stuck in the game and does not come out of their dungeon that's another discussion, but don't attribute their character to everyone here. Most of the people I play WoW with are in the military and as it turns out that sh1t can be kind of boring if you aren't doing anything. Or you're stuck in some sh1thole town in Texas. It takes all kinds.
One dude I knew in game was a body builder, yes I met him in person. Everything can be done in moderation, even MMORPGs. You just have to realize that a day fishing > a day on WoW... So if you know someone that cannot see that, grow a pair and send them an e-mail with that exact comment. Don't come around here and act all superior asking if we're afraid d-bag... Who left the anon comment?
AT&T can kiss my white ass! I just read an article today about how they plan to patrol their network for "copyright" content. In my humble opinion they can go sodomize themselves... in case Google doing so isn't enough.
That being said, Google has done tons of shit I don't like either but it's fun to watch the... corporate violence?... ensue.
Do you work for the RIAA? A double agent perhaps?
That said... I agree this has nothing to do with the RIAA, but when someone says "music industry" most think of the greddy assbags that sue granny's and 12 year olds. That is the picture they have painted for the whole "music industry"./clap RIAA
Now then, if they weren't such ignorant douchebags they would figure out that the web is the future of content delivery. Not only is it more profitable but you have a larger customer base. I for one AM WILLING TO PAY FOR MY MUSIC!!! I had Napster for quite a while, canceled it when it kept telling me I can't play my DRM plagued shit WMAs... and tech support was as helpfull as... "overseas" tech support... The only people downloading music are broke ass college kids( or a large majority ) that wouldn't buy it in the first place, so in theory no sale is lost there... If this were the 80s they would be sharing/copying tapes... which mind you I used to do:) . I would give someone else's left nut to get a music service where I can buy music online, DRM free, at a reasonable price!
That my friend is why the RIAA is being mentioned here...
Hehehe, I just hope they weaponize it so we can blow up the whole planet in one fell swoop. Then when I turn to some form of energy, enter another dimenstion, whatever ( hoping theres an afterlife ), there better be an instant replay because watching our planet cease to exist from outter space would make a great YouTube video...
ACLU ? What's that ? I vaguely remember some organization fighting for American Civil Liberties but... I don't think it was the ACLU, they just fight for dumb meaningless crap... such as men having sex with little boys. Part of me thinks we're all screwed and the world is headed for another round of "Dark Ages" , but some say I am pesimistic.:0)
*Well, isn't it the US public that gives these politicians their undue influence?*
The problem is that every politician is the same ( as others have mentioned ). At this point I am looking at a "Same shit different pile." situation. I remember when candidates would tell their future constituants about what they are going to do to make life better. Now they just mention what they won't goof up like the other guy and point fingers, kinda like kindergarten. I agree that we had something to do with them getting there, but how many times has a candidate said something and has done the complete opposite... I mean look at Kerry the poor guy couldn't remember what he said from one day to the next. I'm surprised he could tie his own shoes. Republicans are supposed to want a smaller governmental presence, but Bush introduced the (un)Patriot Act and tons of legislature that craps on the US Constitution...
Anyway, point is I am as perplexed as you are as to how they A) Got the power to begin with( what did they promise that they didn't deliver?) and B) Who am I to vote for that will be a man ( or woman ) of their word and not turn around and sell my ace down the river.
The problem is that corporations have taken over US legislature. Nothing is done in the best interest of the consumer or the country anymore, or the world, it is done in the best interest of the politicians pocket. I mean presidential Democratic candidates have to raise 110 million just from California, how do you think thats happening? The stink of it is that it's not politicians that terrorits blow up or decapitate or hate, it is the US public. Trust me no one in their right mind would support the DRM tech that is plaguing the consumers, or wish to impose that upon another population. I just hope politicians in Canada have a better moral rhetoric and the testicular fortitude to tell him to fuck off.
