    No, it's not. I suggest you do some reading before spouting off. This weapons BS is mongering by gizmag for page views.

    Woosh, apparently. My bad ;)

    It's called an open proxy scan, you dipshit. It's intentional.

    Wrong story, Bob. You meant to post in this one.

    This one's about a Skype bug, and the one before it a recent achievement at the National Ignition Lab.

  5. Re:Why does everyone mention sharks? on Record Setting 500 Trillion-Watt Laser Shot Achieved · · Score: 1

    Nope. It's fusion research stuff. Nothing to do with weapons.

    The shark thing comes from here.

    It's not a weapon. It's energy research (fusion in particular) - you know, for power generation?

    By that logic, we shouldn't have useful electricity since flying kites in storms doesn't produce a sustainable current.

    Lamar smith needs a very hard kick in the pants just prior to being thrown out of government onto his ass in the street.

    How long are we going to put up with his shit?

    There's no need. Had you actually read, you'd know that the 3-tone operator message prefix being played will cause the ACD to hang up the call and remove you from the campaign.

    OK, but what about AFTER the train would be complete? You have to keep spending those costs for your flight voucher system to work. Once the train is built it becomes cheaper.

    Cool, so you're a fucking idiot and cannot interpret results.

    Scroll the fuck down and look at the details for the other sections of the test.

    You had me up to that point.

    Hey now, those guys seemed to try to work with people, not just say "pay up or else." At least that's what I heard whenever I was passing by. Never heard them going after acquaintances.

    Doesn't matter anyway, poor leadership on the part of the owner has been bleeding the company dry, ironically. Been trying to develop some tools to sell out to other such companies but failing miserably at it.

    I'd name names, but I already posted non-anonymously and don't want them coming after me. It's bad enough I got screwed a paycheck when I left, I don't need their lawyer hounding me.

    Sure. Disable weak protocol versions. Disable weak ciphers. Disable client-initiated renegotiation. Those are some good starts.

    Run the test on your site and have a look at the results. That should lead you on the path.

    I'm hardly a Microsoft fan, but good! They seem to be taking a proactive approach here.

    It's not so much a grammar problem as just choosing the wrong words. You might as well turn your post into a mad lib.

    I wouldn't say you are more skilled... but I would say you are actually paying attention to your vehicle and your surroundings.

    That more than makes up for any gap in skill. You're miles ahead of the pack already.

    Then why bother posting at all? If you can't make it all the way through a comment before replying, then don't bother.

    Imagine this: if instead of just ignoring the packets, you could somehow make their DNS server say "no such host."

    Your analogy doesn't apply. ACD systems don't care about non-answers, they don't remove the number then. If they get an answering machine they can detect, they drop the call but keep you - but if they get a number disconnected or other telco error, they remove you - at least from that campaign. Nothing stops the meatbag in charge from feeding you into the hopper again later.

    Disclaimer: I used to work with these systems. I do know how they work, having implemented them. (for a legitimate collections agency, not bullshit "Want a cruise!?" nonsense)

  25. Re:Smartphone compass sensitive enough on Indoor Navigation On Your Smartphone, Using the Earth's Magnetic Field · · Score: 3, Informative

    My phone (HTC EVO 3D) has a compass, accelerometer, gyro, and flux sensors. It's sensitive to changes as small as a single microtesla that I can tell, though noise usually means your sample resolution is about 5, instead. Some filtering would probably do nicely, since I'm only able to look at the raw reading.
