Or maybe nobody would be really "suprised" hearing about human rights violations by North Korea, and all such a publication of documents would cause is answers of "well, water is wet, what did you expect"? No hacker worth his salt would volunteer losing time for such a let-down. Better try to embarass countries which are supposed to be democratic...
But, seriously, has anyone an appropriate site to put after the RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} experts-exchange.com in my apache config...?
Preferably something which has still expertsexchange somewhere in its URL, but with lots of pictures of scantily clad ladies (which once were lads...) in it?
How is that different from now, where you can have the browser autocomplete the password for most login forms anyways? If the browser is hacked, the autologin password db is exposed too.
So this system just gives your verified email address to whatever site wants to have it?
One verified address. So just set up the system so that the browser can manage more than one such id. For most sites, you'd then use the id tied to a throwaway hotmail address. Or to a specialized server that only generates email lookalikes which you cannot actually deliver to.
Indeed, in most cases this works... unless the DHCP server is smart enough to know that the re-request came way too early (the Mac still has a lease, and it's still valid several hours...)
1. spoofing an IP will not get you past MAC address filtering
So you just spoof your MAC address as well. It's not as if this was rocket science (... as anybody would know who ever sat in a boring airport lounge..)
Right, you pair the devices, then you set it to hidden.
But as soon as you actually use the keyboard or mouse, packets fly around, which have this "hidden" number in their headers, from where it can be snarfed by the bluetooth equivalent of tcpdump...
something that would permanently send out a bluetooth beacon to make all Windows 7 or Vista computers within earshot show goatse.ragingfist.net fullscreen...
Might be fun walking through a computer shop (or just some offices...) with this on... And coming near to one of those giant display walls at a trade fair would be still better...
Look at the pictures. They are quite good, doesn't look random to be. Monkeys are intelligent creatures, not random rocks that fall on cameras.
Maybe they don't know the finer points of focus and exposure (but for that we have autofocus...), but they apparently know enough about keeping the camera level, and composition (probably by observing how the photographer did it and "monkeying" him... but it still takes "intelligence" to pick out the important bits to imitate... it's not enough to just hold the box any old way and press the button)
Now you owns the copyright? Obviously not the monkey's, as they are not "persons" in any legal sense (unless they incorporated, hehe).
Usually, for pets, it would be the owner... but as far as I understood, these were "wild" monkeys not pets...
In some places in Africa, you legally own any wild animals who happen to wander on your land. So, the rightful copyright holder in this case would be the owner of the land where the pictures were taken...
"Banks shall not share any customer data with outside entities, except in cases where the information shared and with whom was explicitly approved by the customer."
In this case, the customer does approve the sharing (by using the coupon...)
If he doesn't use the coupon, there's no way the outside party can know whether this customer belonged to the target demographic or not.
Problem is, most users wouldn't be aware of this. Or the price might just be "too good to let slip away", and wouldn't necessarily be related to the purchase being monitored.
Indeed, no sane consumer would send theirs back. But shops will have to send back any unsold inventory, so if you haven't yours yet, hurry up now to buy a bunch of them now...
Embezzlement is different than excessive executive compensation and is illegal in most places.
Depends on who does it.
Here in Luxembourg, the director of a charity (Transfair) affiliated with the ruling CSV party embezzled funds by buying fake services from her husband (who operates a web hosting company). She didn't get any problems from this...
A couple of month later, a member of parliament of the ill-liked ADR party does the same thing (gets a fake bill from a friend of his who operates an IT business, and gets that bill "refunded" by parliament), and he's sued and it's all over the news.
Moral of the story: if you want to embezzle, be affiliated with people in power.
Slashdot Mirror
next you will be telling me PowerPoint doesn't make you dumb after all either ;)
You're right. Powerpoint does not make you dumb. Powerpoint just makes the space shuttle crash.
Is there also a similar extension for firefox?
Never ask for permission, but just do!
Actually, these devices do put a load on the emitting antenna, and (if done on a sufficiently large scale) the broadcasters are not amused

A single, re-usable guidance system should be developed
... or they should just have subcontracted all of it to Croatia. The mess would have been the same, but at least the cost would have been much less!
Glad to learn that the boys aren't discouraged by the arrests!
No story about Microsoft and cakes is complete without this video :-)

instead of starting a nother never ending 'war on piracy',
O, and here I thought that the MAFIAA had that one started long ago already...

since the monkey used both his arms to make the photograph, it would be a bipod.
I'd think that as a monkey, it would be better endowed than that... making it indeed a tripod. So yes, jimshatt was right about his analogy.
Indeed, in most cases this works... unless the DHCP server is smart enough to know that the re-request came way too early (the Mac still has a lease, and it's still valid several hours...)
I know I'm stretching the glorified tripod analogy, but still...
Shouldn't that be pentapods? After all, monkey still use their arms for walking most of the time...

Or refusing it, for that matter...
If there was a third option "abstain", some people would probably still complain...

or to send him away
Doesn't help if 5000 people show up. They'll just party outside of the door, drinking their own beer, and inconveniencing the neighbors...
(and call the police if he doesn't go)
And if you don't call police, your neighbors will... which is exactly what happened here, but who'll pay the bill?
