    Does this mean the piratebay has to be unblocked in the countries that (tried to) block it?

    Linux is free because big non MS companies invest in it so they dont have to pay programmers and their investor to reinvent the wheel twice a month.
    Linux is only "junk" if your computing experience amounts to wordprocessing and/or using an expensive version of MS paint.

    you elected him because we hacked your brain to make you think the fall of the american empire is a good thing for you.

    i'm definately not having a meltdown. Unless you count the morning after the night before on the day he got elected.

    i love how all the trumptons sucked up everything we put out to make sure hillary didn't get elected. everything from impending dementia to coloscopy bags to google hiding the massive number of stories we put out about trump.

    But its even more fun watching the post rationalisation.

    Do people have automatic DST adjustments? I ask because I don't own one.

  8. pretty much exactly my thought.

    skype gets mentioned a lot. either for using it to hack a victims computer or to warn people their conversations go straight to the google/NSA processing centers.

    But never seen referals to carry a converstion on there.

  9. Dont worry, next thing they'll be doing is making it a legal requirement that google can bundle in your name and address data too.

  10. which pretty much tallies with the above data that most business owners are republicans and that America is a pretty crappy place to live and work.

    This and more is almost certainly already known to the FSB. Its one of the reasons they have been so successful keeping the CIA out of Syria.

    Keeping it secret undoubtedly helps he russians more than anyone. but given the lack of love between the FBI and the CIA, they wont have a problem with that.

    zero days typically fetch at least $10,000.

    zero days are valuable you know...

    So when your DNS gets hijacked, every single person using your program gets hijacked to?

    Wow. That's inviting a very big law suit.

    Or you just cache the users repsonses? in which case, hijacked once, hijacked forever?

  16. You really cant "harden" any of the old versions of windows though (thousands of zero days knocking around for what are now unsupported systems), and stuff written from earlier than 2007 doesn't really apply to any of the new versions of windows.

    While a solid host file is essential (and as you say, there are lots of free ones around now), it wont protect you from material served from hijacked dns, which is fairly common practice now.

    not afaik.

    sudo still installs stuff as root, installing a malicious rpm will give that rpm, even by sudo, access to the entire system.

    this isnt true any more. i had several malvertisers try and push an install of an unknown rpm through chrome before i added the winhelp mvps hosts file to the system. If id been using something like ubuntu instead of an otherwise hardened system they would quite possibly have been successful.

    a rooted phone is gauranteed to send all your private data to a malicious ip address, wont even use a dns lookup. whats the point in changing the hosts file on a device already hard coded to send everything on the device to the bad guys. why are you recommending android users compromise their device?

    you obviously know nothing about android. you can only change the hosts file on a rooted android phone. which is basically a compromised phone before you even start.

    You mean someone other than the people who work in the uk government, like that bunch of criminals isnt enough?

    More importantly I suspect this will quite quickly drive many large businesses out of London. Those companies rely on their secrets, the prospect of any bored intern "with their heart in the right place" being able to send their every dirty secret to the daily mail almost certainly will gaurantee those already concerned by brexit relocate their offices sharpish.
