This means your theory of elevated traffic might be true, however I do know that that space is monitored by the international comity and also, it may be improbable to have all lines cut the exact same way or within so close a time span, however impossible that after the first 2 ( and now up to 4 ) that any governments wouldn't make sure that it would secure the last lines left.
Now that you made me think of it, definitely another government, they would need extreme training ( more then rebels have ) and high tech equipment to get by security ( a mini sub possibly ) So we are now left with US/China/Russia.
http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/02/04/0158249 for the fourth time.... and China or Russia stand the most to gain as they would be the next ones to control the flow after the cables are cut, to reroute traffic through another source for the moment, and guess what, packet sniffing anyone???
"Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back"
That would be if we all assume it was our guys (Americans/Canadians) that did it, however a small third world country trying to pierce through oppression or a rebel group like al quedea might only have the means to drag an anchor on the bottom of the ocean...i still think it strange though they were all cut within a short period of time, no coincidences for me!
I am too willing to accept that something is fishy when the only 3 cables that were holding comm link to the middle east are somehow ALL cut in the same exact way. Send in the Grissom from CSI he'll tell you it is almost improbable to have the 3 cables cut in the same matter , more likely someone who wanted to cut communication, so the question becomes, not how or why, but more importantly who???
a comment like "How widespread is this kind of thing" makes me wonder where Zonk was living for the last 5000 years. How long has fraud or prostitution or theft been around....then of course, this is/.
I really hope someone at MS reads this, and finally knows what we think of their whining. Seriously are they for real? I hope they read this, and finally just stop pushing the OOXML standard once and for all.
NO ONE IS INTERESTED. STOP PLEASE...YOU'RE LIKE THE KID THAT NEVER KNOWS WHEN TO SHUT UP!
This is whats wrong with the music industry today, they say it costs this much , and that much and we need to pay this and that, and we can only give the artist this. But what about the snoop dogs out there tired of listening to the BS that build their own studios in their basement for 500k then record as much as they want, and the radioheads that have no advertising, excep to announce that whatever you want to pay for our song, just log on and pay and download. Thats advertising , free of course...
Were they given only 1% of the sales revenue. no! The music bus is so wrong...who decide the artist can only get 1%, who decides this cd is worth 14,95 when the other is worth 12,95 and they both had the same amount invested in them. It makes me sad, as the big companies decided what the prices are then cry when they don't get their 'fair' share.
All I can say is let this be a lesson to them, as for the RIAA, they are so desperate for any kind of real win, the are doing SCO all over again. They need to try to get that win to be able to go SEE someone thinks like us, I hope they get laughed out of court. Seriously , I hope the judge is someone like Judge Judy!
Here, here I was about to say the same thing, you took the words right out of my mouth. I have to say that Lars looked so foolish with his 90 million in the bank and crying that it was a bad thing to download for free metallica's music.
I am sure Bono and the boys aren't going to starve until we find an acceptable medium for purchasing music without having a monopoly that controls what it sells for. The music giants need to understand music is not going to be the next "black diamond fever" that the jews are famous for. Who decides that this one cd is worth 14.98 and the exact same cd with the exact same amount of advertising for a band in the same label playing the same type of music should be 13.97....hummm
I am for one all for pushing evolution, and if we need to "steal" as they call it until they understand we aren't putting up with it, then so be it.
Just like the big music companies crying they lost 60 billion in POSSIBLE revenue. They say it was lost because of all the downloading, but who told them it was fair to sell the CD at 22.00$ at walmart when the artist only gets 1$ per cd after the first 500,000 copies or so.
Don't tell me they advertised for a 5000% spread, I won't belive you, same thing with the movie business as well, why decide this dvd is exacvtly 12.99 and the other is 16.95...come on please....
All I have to say is information is free, we would be a much better society if we all put our efforts in fighting disease and famine and these things then worrying about getting paid all the time.
"Did you forget to pay me for your opinion this morning??? I own the words you speak."
Yes, I guess it has been a few months since I finished all 10 seasons, now I have been catching up with 24, Prisonbreak, Stargate Atlantis, and a million others my GF likes, will you pardon my overcompressed and under stimulated data storage module, seems the warranty expired a long time ago, and when I asked best buy if they could offer me an extended warranty, they just looked at my noggin and said, that's not our model, you may have bought this one at staples...
Slightly unfortunate you feel this way. The big wheel spinning is based on the sole fact that the more you perpetuate and stimulate, the more you get challenged. If we all stopped wanting to get involved and being fewer people as you say, then less and less chances for advances would be made.
I think of Bj Franklin and Tesla, without one you wouldn't have gotten the other. Yet had Bj been the same as you, Tesla would never have had the possibility to review his work, and grow from there.
The only thing I think you do raise a point about, is that by bringing ALOT of attention to your work, you bring ALOT of scrutiny. As with M$ vs. Linux, the only reason Linux isn't as vulnerable, is that it isn't as popular. Give it a few more commercial years in the limelight, then we would see alot more *nix viruses.
In ANY COUNTRY, the government controls the commerce.
Yeah but if u watched enough episodes of Stargate, you'll realize that Buddha was probably a GA'ould and would have know about this anyways, and may even have been a TO'gra...helping humans become more evolved. I would assume that by doing this, it helped us along to then be able to didcover our stargate. Whatever u do don't piss Tealk off!:P
I would prefer the converse, if they did delete your account emails all the time, and force people to just back up the emails off the server, then you have alot less traffic being repeated, and force all the lame users carrying hidden viruses to flush...like force 1st and 15th flush on your account, every 1st and 15th you loose everything...except the backups on your home pc!
Maybe they will think that all those kids learn their evil hacking ways playing too much MMPORG and will ban WoW,...er..wait I still have an active account....
It wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that India seems to be the ones handling the support, and that they are the worst for such things, oops we lost your information...but don't worry it's ok. Just means you will have to wait extra long while we laugh at how stupid some big corporations are by outsourcing their work over seas seeing as their quality control is different then ours
I know someone in the textiles industry and you would not believe the stuff they pull, shipments of 10,000 units with one pant leg 5 inches shorter then the other, then they say something like, we can give you a small rebate or try to fix it after the fact, which means you miss your deadline, which means penalty, which means revenue loss.
And try to make them pay for it, your shipment will get stuck at the border on purpose, and stay there indefinitely. India is a piss poor country, you think they care if your shipment makwes it on time, when they have to worry about being able to get food to their homes, and find a way to pay the rent as the 1$ an hour job doesn't cut it...India sucks
Maybe I might be a little newbs to this way of thinking, being i usually am consulting, but i always thought when the company doesnt want to pay for overtime, they just say "we wont pay overtime" and thats that, no? If they get more employees to cover the diff. of hours, they get what they want without breaking the employees back. Sucks for the employee, but I can make do with the pay I get, for the time I work, isnt that what I agreed upon to begin with.
Sorry, but I NEED MY GUI, I dont know of one person using WoW without a GUI, if you find one, send him my email, I want to know how he does it, and btw my WoW presence blankets, your *nix presence anyday.
What about just using hibernate like most people do, and drop your boot time to under 5 seconds on a p4 and keeping all your windows open just like it says in the manual....
Dude..just cuz u couldn't be bothered to know how an app works, don't say it doesn't. You are complaining about stuff that is all configurable through the IDE, and even your keyboard macros are there, in VS 2005,...maybe I could suggest a good book before blasting the best suite for windows development.
VS 2005 tips & tricks...says a lot about all the stuff u think is missing, but really isn't
Nothing new, this seems like the same old story over and over, sql injection to gain root, once u got it, then u got it for good, redirects to a web site with hacker friendly code, voila , you got malware. I am surprised that this is something still making news. I guess for the next generation of pc users, we need to educate them. I always said owning a computer is like ownign a car, you would never use a car without knowing how to drive, although you did buy the car. Same applies for computers, or in this case web development. Not because someone can throw some html and asp together that it makes them a web programmer....
Anyways I am just rambling as usual, go ahead troll me...
"the best way to predict the future is to invent it!"
There is...its called mega memory, the tools u need for learning to remember, a lot of people without chemical imbalance can quite easily force themselves to have good memory, only those with poor diet or diabetes suffer possible memory loss. After we know Alzheimer's is a 4th type of diabetes, then we can know memory is directly linked to good food.
I learned how to remember things on purpose, and advanced a technique to the point of being 98% in speed reading classes. I combined the power memory techniques ( yes i bought the kit for 59.99 late one evening...) and tied that with my reading and found that i could do so much more then before, my alertness for situations and how to deal with them, improved a 1000 fold, however i still suck in judging people as I am quite gullible sometimes.
Anyways, forcing a traumatic near shocking experience works every time, watch a movie with something that is shocking , and you will never forget those scenes, couple that with something u need to remember for the next day, and bingo.
I also think repetitive memory exists at the cellular level, making something like a 2nd or 3rd generation in a filed to be a way of increasing the effectiveness in that field ( that field being wrestler, lawyer, doctor etc...) which would indicate that the genes pass on some sort of imprinting in the cells.:p
