Whether this was a real story or not, that woman did no one any harm; if she did Megan any harm, that's for law enforcement to deal with, not the rest of us.
By digging up her personal information - for which no one had any real, legitimate use - much less posting it online - these bloggers have negligently put this entire family's safety at serious risk.
Look, the woman's daughter is a former friend of Megan Meier, and Lori Drew, who created the fake account was well aware the Megan had serious self image problems and had received treatment for depression.
Then how can you possibly claim that the woman did "noone any harm" when she wrote to Lori:
"Everybody in O'Fallon knows how you are. You are a bad person and everybody hates you. Have a shitty rest of your life. The world would be a better place without you"
Knowing what she knew, she should have known that reading this, from the cute boy that seemed to like her a lot, could have some serious consequenses for Megan.
I was there and another thing he mentioned was The Lemon Market which is a market in which the seller of a product knows much more about the product than the buyer.
The guy who invented this won the Nobel price for his work.
Guess what, in a Lemon market, all the Lemons get sold and only a few of the good products, the IT market most often is a "Lemon market", and that explains why the best products don't always come out on top.
and then you take the 640, divide by 2, get 320, remove the last 0, and get 32, the reverse of 23.
Then you multiply 23 by 30, get 690, take 42, reverse it to 24 and subtruct this from 690. You get 666.
What does that tell you? Ha? Ha?
And if you add upp all the digits in the number 1 + 6 + 4 + 0 + 0 = 11
And 11 is 3 in binary.."The Holy Trinity" Mening that this bug signifies the war between good and evil..
Those who write and submit code to the BSD project, do so knowing that the BSD license doesn't require those who use the code to give anything back to the project.
For crying out loud !! Microsoft Windows is even using the BSD TCP/IP stack and I don't see them giving much back to the BSD project.
It doesn't "challenge" that view at all. Evolution is mutation plus competition, you need the competition part. Of course they co-existed, as must have all consecutive evolution stages in every being's evolution.
Exactly my thoughts.
Think about this, archaeological and genetic evidence points to modern humans having left Africa 50000-100000 years ago. Modern humans are only about 200.000 years old as a species and yet, the Scanvinavians already have lighter skin full facial beards and some other biological features which make them distinct from those who didn't leave Africa.
We could say that the scandivavians "evolved" from the Africans to suit the cold climate, nonetheless the two are still co-habiting almost everywhere in the world.
The time period which the article states as a "proof" is 500.000 years long. Just imagine how the scandinavians, ot the inuits might look after 450.000 years if there was no communication between the two groups.
As my friends have noted since long time I feel pleasure from watching angry people. Even so as when people completely loose control and start shouting and screaming, I usually start laughing.
I don't know why, but it gives me this nice feeling of focus, empowerment and a bit of a weird feeling I can't describe but 'evil calm'.
Duhh, think a tiny bit and you'l see that this is actually a *political* case.
Russia has been trying for years to join the WTO and the USA has been blocking it's attempts, mainly on the bases that it doesn't enforce US copyright (When a commercial entity can manipulate foreign policy in this way, there is a problem) and this copyright case in mainly to demonstrate the will of the Russian government to enforce copyright and the said case is seen as a test example.
The sad thing is that the teacher, from a remote village, bought the computers pre-installed with windows so his claim that he didn't know that Windows was "pirated", seems perfectly plausible.
I think you will have to search hard among educated people before you find anyone that thinks the teacher should be sent to the Goulag in Siberia for this "crime".
well, now that those instructions are posted, surely it'll just be a day or a week until spammers work around that. So, nice idea, not much of a future, I don't think...
No, sorry, spammers are lazy.
Even if the only thing you do is proper greylisting, for example with Postfix + policyd, the amount of spam, you receive, will decrease over 90%
Nolisting is an excellent thing to do, if you have the IP address which can send the resets.
Why is Apple, the world's largest DRM company which loves to use it's lawyers to crush and close any blog which mentions it's upcoming product, now suddenly the "good guys" ?
While the average consumer is holding off buying either a Blue Ray or HD DVD, sony delivers a Blue Ray player with each and every PS3 it sells.
Although the average gamer might not be interested in buying Blue Ray movies, someone else in his family might (parents ?)
Also:
Single layer Blue Ray disk: 25 GB (up to 30 GB in the labs)
Single Layer HD DVD disk: 15 GB
the Blue Day disk has 66% more capacity, at dual layer that translates to extra 20 GB per blue ray disk. Now if you were to choose between the standard 4.7 GB DVD or a lesser 3.1 GB drive, which would you buy ?
> the police won't prosecute for crimes...
> The victim has to bring the case himself.
Are you sure on that? I wonder who brought those cases for murder.
The difference between murder and stealing your bank details is that you can give me your bank details legally, you can't give me your life legally. (and suicide is illegal, believe it or not)
Im other words, when I break into your apartment and steal your WII, you can forgive me.
However, I would be a lot happier if the law took care of this. You know, if Microsoft would give every police district across the world free software, tools and maybe even hardware to catch these guys, that would be the safest route--leave it to the law to take care of these matters.
The issue at hand is identity theft, the police won't prosecute for crimes like this any more than if someone searched through your garbage looking for personal information. The victim has to bring the case himself.
I have absolutely zero problem with Microsoft filing suit against those phishers.

70 years on and The Hobbit isn't in the public domain. It truly is a shame to see our constitution thwarted in this manner.
According to this chart, "The Hobbit", has been in the public domain since 21st September 2007.

The son of a coffee shop owner, Mr. Willman, a.k.a. Omni-Potent,

In an astonishing move, Mr. Gates has rejected the proposal!
I wonder if Mr. Gates gets a stiffy by a brutal demonstration of his powers, by crushing the life of a simple teacher.
Actually I reasd it as "Bill Gates is Missing",, but I think it was just wishful thinking.

According to Wikipedia, Blue Ray is up to 33 GB **PER LAYER** in the labs, that would give 66 Gigabytes for a *two layer* blueray disk.
And of course, a 3 layer "standard" blueray disk would be about 70GB.
And then there's reality, it looks like Sony will manage to shoot itself in the leg (head) with it's silly restrictions on content. (No pron).

How Google handles hacked sites
As it turns out, Google is very professional on this issue, notifying webmasters, putting timeouts on the "sandboxing", etc ..
Did I fall asleep and miss something ?
Why is Apple, the world's largest DRM company which loves to use it's lawyers to crush and close any blog which mentions it's upcoming product, now suddenly the "good guys" ?
While the average consumer is holding off buying either a Blue Ray or HD DVD, sony delivers a Blue Ray player with each and every PS3 it sells.
Although the average gamer might not be interested in buying Blue Ray movies, someone else in his family might (parents ?)

"Data used by Microsoft Word to construct a destination address for a memory copy routine is embedded within a Word document itself."
If this is a standard practice at Microsoft, I'm beginning to understand why they are so relunctant to publish their protocols and standards.
