Yes, bash on Google for stating what they did, but pretty much NO ISP provider to home connections allow servers on them. They never have. So keep ranting about how evil google is now, even though this isn't anything new. Upgrade to a business class if you want to run a server.
So Google successfully conned the nerd herds into loving them with ostentatious nerd-friendly marketing in the late 90s and 00s, and now that they have acquired their financial and political power, the draw back the curtain to reveal Microsoft's policies on steroids.
"Somehow, 'I told you so' just doesn't say it." - Will Smith.
No, what they have done is stated they are using the same policies as any other HOME internet provider and not allowing servers on those connections. Nothing new, ISP been doing this since the 90's.
Google plans to offer its own business-class services on Fiber. Can't have people running their own servers as competition. This company tends to claim support for whatever is politically popular among techies and then quietly go back on it when it affects their bottom line.
Most residential internet companies don't allow you to run servers via your residential connection anyways. Not like this is new or anything. Or is it "bad" because google is saying they won't do it?
Pussy Riot members are about to get out of jail? And Pussy is included in the list of "swear" words? Let me google it. Hmm, 2 years sentence passed down on August 2012, but they were arrested in March 2012, so if they get timed served, then March 2014. So to me, the timing is about right.
The load was so large that Crowd Control Productions (CCP) slowed down the game time to 10% of normal to accommodate the massive amount of activity.
"Its the same boring shit about how eve's terrible servers can't handle all the buffered state updates and slows to a crawl"
Or to see the half-full glass, it's a story about how EVE is the only MMO game that really even attempts to let stuff happen on this kind of scale; it's the only major single-server MMO, i.e., the only one that doesn't just cheat by only having as many people on any given 'instance' of the game as their server code can handle.
So, the story is their code and single-server suck because they can't handle the load, right? If the game has to slow to 10% how does that prove anything good? I can run a simulation on my home computer and have it run at 10^-100 slower than it would run on the cluster at work. It will run, but be slow as glass flowing at room temperature. When they can do that at 100%, I will be impressed.
Or you can play a game like Everquest 2 where the lag can get so bad sometimes (because SoE blows most likely) that it takes 20 secs for your button press to register, if not longer.
Judge Colin Birss, rules in favor of Volkswagon to ban Flavio Garcia, a computer scientist, from revealing details about 'Wirelessly Lockpicking a Vehicle Immobiliser' at USENIX in August.
How about if it "turns out" that this fella Flavio Garcia wasn't doing research alone, and that members of his team would want to "leak" the details on torrent sites?
We could still get them, no?
By the way, who believes that the fella Flavio Garcia, is the only fountain of knowledge on the matter?
It doesn't matter. Now everyone knows it can be done, other people will be working on it. Criminals probably.
Sort of like how once we made a nuclear bomb, other scientist were able to make nuclear bombs.
Indeed. Now that everything is 'streaming' and 'cloud' i wonder what their intended market is. For me personally, in the last year I only handled optical discs to copy them to my NAS. For long term storage the technology is too immature and delicate. Why would I buy this?
I have a fast internet and I don't "stream" or "cloud" stuff I watch. Pure download baby!
One only need to look at the City of Boston to see the full force of the Militarized Police State. One man, wounded and half dead, and the whole town goes Apeshit poo flinging crazy. Martial Law.
Or how about a few months before, when Big Bear Lake was also under Martial Law, for a lone gun man on the run.
If I were a terrorist, I would be planning on small time bomb and gun scare and go into "hide and seek" mode to shut down a town. A few buddies more and we could shut down every major metropolis in the USA. Wouldn't take more than a dozen or two to scare everyone and allow for the USA to go into full lockdown.
It will be the new 9/11. And good luck stopping 20 independent coordinated people from pulling this off. Pick off one, and nothing changes.
They couldn't stop 2 men with 2 bombs in Boston when they've been spying on us for 10 years at least up to that point. My opinion? They can't stop terrorism this way, but will create more incidences.
A very "American" sentiment, approximately equivalent to the "thinking" that led to the US marked inferiority in decryption and signals intelligence in the 1930's which in turn allowed Pear Harbour to happen.
And, once again, we have yet another example of why the warrantless surveillance is a bad idea. There was an agent (DuÅan Popov) working for the British MI6 who was trying to tell the US military about Pearl Harbor for months before the attack, but the US military didn't want to listen. In other words, Pearl Harbor happened, not because of a lack of intelligence (in the information sense), but instead a lack of intelligence (in the IQ sense) amongst US military personnel.
Pearl Harbor was known about in advance. Pearl Harbor was the scapegoat to get rest of America behind the war effort. In other words, the Military let Pearl Harbor get bombed so they good get into the war.
Nothing like some destruction on Americans to get the people behind you. And if that sounds like something that happened in 2001 also, where do you think they got the idea?
Yes, mining asteroids sounds like a nice plan. But much like flying cars, I do not see it happening any time soon. But fuck, it's great to talk about, isn't it?
I can believe their promise not to torture or execute Snowden. After ruining his life, having him spend the rest of it in prison will create a sufficient example for other would-be whistleblowers.
Our government lies to us daily. Eric Holder, the dude who said this, has gone on recorded lying to the public. I do not believe my government to keep the truth, they have proven over the last decade they don't give a fuck about the people in this country, just about massing and keeping power over everyone and everything.
In fact, we are the sort of country that our founding fathers fled to start a new way of life.
How many people here that are complaining about the government's actions voted for President Obama? How many voted for him twice?
Of those who voted for him, especially in 2012, how do you like what he's doing to your rights under the Constitution?
i didn't vote for anyone. Change? Please, He's a Token Politician, will say what ever gets him in office, then carries out his own plan (corporations plan).
This coming election? I will be voting. I plan on writing in Edward Snowden for president. Patty Murray I will NOT vote for (I live in Washington State), and any other politician in my state that thinks that the NSA is doing good work, ain't fucking voting for.
I'm getting tired of politicians who do not understand the constitution and who are not representing their people, but corporate interests.
I would recomment/prefer to build the system not as a robot but as scanner which guides the nurse and indicates the right position to her does the fine positioning on the mm scale.
I've heard they have a machine for this actually. When i was at the hospital someone was supposed to bring some machine up to get blood from me, but they just took it from my artery instead. The specifics i do not know.
Nurses, and whomever tries to take blood from me has a hell of a time and usually costs me a bit of pain. Recently I had to go to ER for some chest pains. It took them 2+ hours to get blood out of me. They never put an IV in me like they were planning.
So yes, I'd take a robot doing this. Technology has advanced far enough that machines can be responsible enough to do stuff like this, imo.
I was spanked as a kid, I smoke weed (and done worse drugs), I've been to jail.
Ya, I blame the spanking, not that fact that I choose to do the actions that led me to jail and smoking weed. (Sarcasm here)
While upbringing does affect who you are, when it come down to it, you choose to do shit. No one forced me to be a druggy, no one forced me to shoplift, no one forced me to sell drugs. I choose that path. And it was a crappy path and I also choose to change it. And I did.
I didn't need a 12 step program, didn't need belief in a "higher power" to get clean. I need to be honest with myself and stop using (talking heroin here, was a junkie too long in my life).
I took charge of my life because in the end, I'm the only person to blame for anything I do or have done.
And for the record, I don't think spanking is a smart solution to disciplinary problems. And considering most my problems were based on me being ADHD (that no one knew about till i was in my 30's) and not a bad person, all the spankings I got (and I got a lot growing up) didn't serve any purpose but to bully me. So now I believe there is a better way to do things. But I don't have kids so the lessons I've learned, or the ideas I picked up, won't be put to test and passed on.
I have supported the use of records and even following connections from a known terrorist, but this is insane. Pure insanity. No doubt this is because terrorists/spies have changed tactics, but still this is the wrong way to take solve this.
Terrorist haven't changed tactics. Look at the Boston Bombers, the NSA had been spying on us for years at that point.
Did they know about it? NO. Did they stop it? NO.
So them spying on everyone is a waste of time if they can't catch any terrorist with it. In fact, they are being the terrorist against their own population by this and other actions they have been doing.
... Between that, and allowing a heavy use of the (Catholic) confessional, and a focus on the Christian aspects, that child is much improved. The book was very helpful.
Ya, nothing like a catholic priest to give some "empathy" your kid.
But seriously, what the fuck does a Catholic confessional have to Christian aspects? The 2 are about as far as you can get from each other based on the same book.
Oh, I get it. Christian aspects. "Spare the rod and spoil the child". So you are beating the bully out of your kid now in the name of god? That should go well.
How many of those Dems who voted the amendment down also voted down Patriot act renewals while Bush was president? This proves, once and for all, that the Democrats are just as bad, if not worse, than the Republicans on matters related to privacy and civil liberties.
First off, you are asking a question that you do NOT know the answer off, and then saying that the question proves something, when the question never got answered?
Why don't you look it up? You got a low UID number, I'm sure programming is like breathing to you, so why don't you take the results from the Patriot Act Renewal Votes, and the results from this vote, and compare names to see who voted what? Then you'd have a definite number and a conclusive answer to your first question, then we can decide if your 2nt sentence is true or not.
Does the name COINTELPRO mean anything to you? Decades ago the government used illegal surveillance to attempt to quash the civil rights movement. What assurances do we have that they won't do this again? Why should we believe they have good intentions at all when they cannot comply with the 4th amendment?

I guess Putin really fears the Pussy.
Can you explain why you *didn't* get into a car accident in the last month?...
I can easy. I didn't ride in any cars last month.
