  1. Re:Funny That on ICANN To Allow .brandname Top-Level Domains · · Score: 1

    Your domain should point somewhere. If it's a small system, everything probably points to the same thing.

    In their case, someone just forgot to set the A record for the domain itself.

    The question posed is asking about disk integrity specifically. TrueCrypt does not do this.

    a DDoS has nothing to do with security. It's only about wasting resources. It's not even hard to do.

    These guys should be taken out and shot. Ignoring all the service disruptions etc, just stop and think of all the power these jackasses are wasting.

    SIP Invites hardly qualify as phreaking.

    Indeed. You don't even need all that much horsepower to call that many people at once.

    Now, to actually -talk- to them is another story, but all it takes is a SIP Invite to ring the phone.

    Conversly, I've never had any such problems, and indeed have played multiplayer while in 'offline' mode. I should also mention I have almost 150 titles on it, having been with steam since it was just a half-baked WON replacement.

    I'll agree that throttling needs to be added, but that's hardly an issue unique with Steam. It seems almost every software vendor assumes users have unlimited bandwidth...

  17. Re:Can't they tie them down? on Studying the Impact of Lost Shipping Containers · · Score: 1

    GPS microchips (which, remember, often include a basic antennae) cost about $30 in single-unit quantities.

    That's hardly expensive indeed! Peanuts considering!

  18. Re:Can't they tie them down? on Studying the Impact of Lost Shipping Containers · · Score: 1

    Something tells me that a GPS receiver ($30 for the chip, not too much for an antennae), a power supply, submersion detector, and transponder antennae and equipment is not all that expensive compared to the container or it's contents. Aside from the battery, it would be reusable as well.

    I think the mass vs thrust of the vessel, and fuel constraints, might make that an issue. I suppose you could latch a transponder to it, note where it is and what the currents in that area do, and come back with something a bit more appropriate.

    I'm pretty sure that it's considered like any other salvage. That would make sense anyways.
