There has always been a 6% of separation process to many fields of work, including crime labs. It is cool though to see this in action as it is being established as a new LEGAL means of catching criminals...good times, good times!
As expensive as it is costing all their clients...really...the amount of money that was lost due to these errors that should be free to be patched regardless of legit, non legit copy....think about the billions of dollars in damage and bandwidth with spam because of flaws in something you bought, and now have to pay for with time and effort to maintain the product.
A car does not have this many bugs, and has to be a certain level of safety before going on the road, knowingly using it on the road when you know at any moment your engine will drop out is a lack of responsibility on your part. Well same thing should apply to software especially that used in the office with actual damage value should anything happen.
You have an industry giant that has set the pace for what is acceptable now, patches upon patches which you must pay for (license) else if you don't it is not the maker's fault. I say..B*LLSH*T M$ is responsible for 99% of spam out there, and if they offered all those non legit copies of windows free patches, you would see most of those problems go away, no more zombie pcs... imagine no 5million emails a day of spam, why, because M$ cared to offer this for free (really free!) and in the end, that would play in their marketing favor for whatever they wanted to sell you afterwards, as they would be looked upon as the company that solved (even though they caused it) the spam problem..
thank you...., finally someone that sees the difference between windows and linux and what free really means. The web could be a much safer place if M$ was really wanting it to be, but they would rather buy their 10th porsche then offer some FREE updates for pirated copies of windows...and ultimately snip the malware problem where it hurts.
Can you imagine no more spam because all pirated copies of windows are now up to date with patches, wow, I really would have thought that to be a must for promoting windows7,..."here we know that life is not cheap, so we are giving you a freebie, windows patching , even if you have a non legit copy, this way when you will buy a new OS, next time you will think of us..."
>It could patch XP indefinitely, but that wouldn't sell more copies of Windows 7 My point was to make the web a safer place by patching all those bad machines, and not worry if steve balmer can afford a 10th porsche in his driveway...
I have to say, M$ decides to not support and leave all the sp2 users open to vulnerability because they choose to, not because they have to, as the patch works as well for sp2 as it does for sp3, so the fact they are cutting off the sp2 users is only because they want to make more money, and the people that have sp2 and have decided to not keep shelling out money for a product they purchased, means that now they are vulnerable and because they do not want to keep shelling money out, have to be content with a faulty product....
I just don't understand...if M$ really wanted to keep linux out for the count, they would just have to allow users to get security patches for free, and allow the internet to be a whole lot safer overall....just my 2cents
Allegedly broke in, until they actually show some proof, I find this just another tactic by those movie companies that are trying so hard to close down these sites...and secondly, for someone wanting to post anonymously or not using an account to post torrent files... seems pretty simple to spread....just don't take in usernames and passwords, or log who posted what, but still have a star rating to know if the posting is worth downloading...
3d for this, 3d for that, really , we need 3d like we need a third nipple...useless, especially for something like a documentary.... I tend to think hollywood just makes all these movies on purpose to waste money when we have a real problem with our planet (oil spill) that could use all the help we can give....seems pointless to go to the movies when our planet is dying, and we are doing almost nothing for it...
We always knew the twisted ways of hollywood to get tax breaks...this is just another way also of promoting that piracy really hurts the industry, sort of like stopping james cameron from getting his 5th bentley and such...
How long before these new species die out because of BPs lack of action. I heard on the news last night that the state council was very appalled at how much red tape was thrown up with this situation by BP and the federal US gov. instead of just doing what it takes, everyone needed to vote on things and the lack of urgency is disgusting.
This is exactly what I mean, if the Obama administration was as uncorruptable as they seemed in the beginning, they easily would have realized a long time ago, that BP has no real interest in cleaning this up.....they are stalling, and sadly, now humans are paying the price, and marine life....I would take Obama's daughter's hostage and place them in a thick capsule deep in the ocean, and tell him that the amount of time he has to save his daughters depends on how bad the oil is, the less oil is dumped into the ocean the more resilient the bubble is, the more oil, well you get the picture....I am sure that oil would have been stopped immediately.
It is all a matter of relativity, what relates to what....in this case, Obama for the longest time thought he was doing enough and could not understand why the media was saying that he was not proactive, well I think he really dropped the ball with this one...
Maybe they have a tough time finding the winners because all the entries are so lame, they would feel beneath themselves to actually award a winner....??? If you have 1000 morons hand in their projects , do you still award a winner even if that would go below your normal standard of what average contest level should be??? Remember this is the same company that had billboards everywhere of an engineering problem where you had to answer the question in order to even get an interview...
It's pretty sad that someone had to write a whole story surrounding the mystery behind this md5 hash sum, when it is plainly written in black and white on wiki, hence your link.
I find today's search engine illiteracy pretty appalling. especially when we give our story board to those same people....sickening.
Maybe Obama should set up a policy to adhere to these laws to ensure the safety and exchange of the goods with with these countries. I understand a computer that is broken due to a cd-rom that does not work is totally differnt then sending a 486 that has no ram no hard drive and a cracked motherboard.
I am 100% with you on that one, this will be their worst mistake yet, and I think not only will it hurt their future titles, but also this stupid battle.net hook up to your account so you can know that billy bob owns 1 millions games all of which are on his battle.net account, really irks me, i do not need to include others in on the fact i play wow, if i play wow, blizzard knows, and that should be it, no need to tell the whole world if i don't want to...really ticks me off....
Wait till the first REAL death happens because some kid got so upset of being ganked all the time by the same hordies, that he tracked down another kid using their names, and was able to determine where he lived, and shot him....wow, i mean WoW...that would be so....maybe not.
Atleast they have a choice, and the smart ones do give fake ones, however, no matter how you try, you can not post false info with wow....I tried, there are too many road blocks.
I would like to take this one step further and start provoking some hate mail or some other bad publicity, to show how stupid this move is on blizzard's part. I never would have guessed that blizzard would be so out of touch with their fan base, but this has shown me they have totally lost it. I was a devoted wow player for a long time, but will never post on any forums if this is the case, and will also read carefully all other EULAs from now on, as I am sure there might be more hidden info such as this saying they might be able to use your personal info which has nothing to do with the game to promote their own xxx (place whatever you feel like here, as I can not think of anything i would want to promote from a gamers perspective).....
I also think it is a sad show of what the gaming companies are trying to turn into, almost a google type of data mining center, but I really think blizzard is lost to us, will never be the same again.... : (
Or maybe to help replace the used up ZPMs the all the way down at the Ancient's outpost in Antarctica that way if ever the ga'ould try to take over, we'll be ready for them...
You paint a very credible and easily understood picture of how our government seems to be set up....a very sad picture indeed! Too bad we can't send jack bauer after any of these guys...he could make them understand what needs to be done , in the appropriate time frame too...
Ok, in a perfect world, but we all know that behind closed doors, there will always be things that can be done to get out of paying, whether one blows the other, rubs his back, greases his palm, I really gotta think that this is money we will never see again....for some reason (car industry anyone?) Although if the outcome of this means everyone can go to your local walmart to buy solar panels and be able to install them like they do ikea shelving, then I would have to say, lets do this !
Slashdot Mirror
its funny because people thought he was joking, little did they know how much seriousness there was to that possibility...
Did you read the original post?
>SP3 for XP is free and available
for those who has a legit license...
The bad ones make you appreciate the good ones that much more. Also if ever you want to help teach someone something, you will know what NOT to do.

Er, only if the copy is legit...er...or did you miss that little piece in the original post.
