Isn't collective punishment a crime against humanity?
Only if it happens during war-time by a power foreign to the victim.
Article 33 of the 4th Geneva Convention:
Article 33. No protected person may be punished for an offense he or she has not personally committed. Collective penalties and likewise all measures of intimidation or of terrorism are prohibited.
Article 4 defines who is a Protected person:
Persons protected by the Convention are those who, at a given moment and in any manner whatsoever, find themselves, in case of a conflict or occupation, in the hands of a Party to the conflict or Occupying Power of which they are not nationals.
So, unless a Megaupload user is
not a US national, and
has been captured by the US as a prisoner of war (or his home town has been invaded by the US),
he cannot claim that this is a war crime.
Even Kim Dotcom himself couldn't claim protection under article 33 of the Geneva Convention:
He was not captured in the scope of a conflict or occupation: indeed, he went to New Zealand willingly, and New Zealand is not at war with Germany (Kim's nationality).
New Zealand authorities captured him willingly, there was no (direct) intervention of US forces here (the MAFIAA's nationality), and New Zealand is not at war with the US.
Moreover, the "punishments" that the Geneva Convention speaks about are executions, and grave bodily punishments, not mere deprivation of access to one's data.
And you've missed an important point: he lives in an alpine setting. That's not the kind of place where the local sheriff will give a fuck about anything short of someone getting shot.
But it kinda brings a stop to the hypothesis Sea level to 10 feet doesn't it...
I get that prepared statements arn’t a panacea for all vulnerabilities, but I always thought it pretty much did defeated the SQL injection stuff. Are there some this doesn’t eliminate,
Well support you need to sort columns according to a variable criteria.
sort firstname,lastname,birthdate from user sort by ?
doesn't unfortunately work. So in that case you'd still need to use string concatenation to get the column name into the statement. So this needs to be sanitized/compared to a list of known-good values if it comes from a web from.
When execs are bailing, you know that's a sinking ship.
The execs weren't bailing. It was just their cup of coffee that fell on the keyboard, which happened to type out a resignation letter, which then fell into an envelope...
I wouldn't be very surprised to find out this wasn't voluntary. Being asked politely to resign so you don't have to be fired is pretty common in these types of jobs.
Indeed. You are never fired from rim jobs, you are farted in the face...
The only way to actually get fired in this type of job is if you smoke while on duty.
A quick search of the RIM jobs site lists openings in TX, CA, FL, GA, IL, WA, SC, NC, and CT.
And almost everywhere else on the face of earth too. But I have a suspicion that these jobs are not actually jobs for the brain, but rather jobs for the tongue...
I once walked my pet goat over the main square of a small Belgian town, and made the national news. The mayor was interviewed on TV, bragged that he involved federal police, and that the culprit would face dire punishment if caught... but here I am, still free, alive and kicking. But apparently the German shop where I bought my Guy Fawkes mask got bothered...
Most funny thing: during the interview, it was obvious that the mayor was struggling hard to not burst out in laughter about the fun stunt...
Most people who need to worry about a resume/CV are bright enough to realize they shouldn't be caught cracking/hacking into other's people's networks & computers.
Guys, they're a company out to make profit, and they're going to put the game back up in time.
In your dreams. The only thing they will do is, after some ten games or so, they'll stop pulling games just because some modder bragged about them "being exploitable". Maybe earlyer if bloggers overdo it, and brag about too many games at once. Maybe later if the bloggers are smart and wait a couple of weeks between each different game...
Also anytime the UK government felt like shutting them down they could. The UN won't defend a country it doesn't recognize.
Even easier than that: they could just shut down the Wifi access point, which would be on UK territory... Same weakness than the raspberry pies in the sky, really...
Paying money to target advertising to leak private data so you can track them down to attack is, well, an awful lot of effort.
Could be interesting for politicians who want to "expose" politicians from opposing parties. Given that 10% of the population would be vulnerable, and most parties have more than 10 members, this could be a worthwhile method of embarassing opposing viewpoints.
Slashdot Mirror
I can post photos later on of the second N900 she used, with most of the keyboards plastic covering rubbed off through normal usage.
Dude, buy your poor lady a dildo!
She does use it a lot tho.
Maybe you should spare some time for her in bed...
I can't see what others see in it.
They see a phone which is at the same time a pocket Linux computer. For other purposes, there are sausages, cucumbers and bananas.
I had the N900, used it for several months, I don't consider it worth owning at all
You must be a windows troll, or worse!
(the wifes one died physically after 6 months of usage
What did she do to that poor phone? I hope she handles your dick more carefully, or else you're in for a world of hurt!
I think you were in cryogenic stasis since ~2007, which is ironically the last time Nokia made a phone worth owning.
I am the proud owner of a Nokia N900 (which is very much worth owning) since end of 2010, which is well after 2007.
Gawd, the astroturfers have become so obviously these times...

And yet, even though all of these might fit this topic, only the last 2 have happened in this story. Hmmm...

That's all I have to say really.
but first take the quiz
That being said, bananas are more fun. They are a very versatile fruit (for the passive role, just cut off the tip).
Unfortunately, it seems that at least some of the Ulrich Drepper "don't reopen" replies were not actually him, but an impostor...
Udpcast recently switched from glibc to uclibc in order to stay small enough to stay bootable from floppy.
CIOs shit bricks.
No wonder everybody's resigning from their RIM jobs...
From the few lines at the end of TFA, something like "Rats abandoning ship after having chewing through own hull" sounds more appropriate.
If we're with naval metaphors, "Captain falling into lifeboat after having steered the ship into rocks" works out too.
When execs are bailing, you know that's a sinking ship.

You are confusing with the Costa Concordia. Edward Smith, the captain on the Titanic went down with his ship.
you need to wet your palms first, then it feels better.

Does the M$ package comes with proprietary IP?
That'd be a golden shower, not S&M

Wikileaks had dirt on every country where the US have/had an embassy... Which doesn't leave that many.
