Yes they should be out in the streets causing mayhem instead. The thing is, people need some sort of entertainment in their lives, and i'd rather be indirectly subsidizing some tv than have even more youths wandering the streets or having loud outdoor parties 24/7.
Care to expand upon this? Comcast has a direct connection to their users, so they can do any man-in-the-middle attacks they want, but a random sysadmin would not have that kind of access to pwned master servers unless one of said servers just happens to be one of theirs!
I guess that depends on your definition of modern. I've heard of all sorts of athlons dieing from inproper heatsink installation. Maybe Pentiums are better designed in that respect with the auto down-clocking and having a heat-spreader.
Perhaps people who are probing, should spoof their address to match another command and control unit. Is it even possible to spoof another server's ip address across the internet and get return packets? I would think you would need to pwn the server you would theoretically spoof and then probe from there.
In fact, after reading through http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1674, it looks like you can send packets, but never get any responses, which may or may not be good enough to trigger a DoS against that server -- unless the admin just whitelists those ips.
What about an old black & white film versus a new remastered & colorized film? I'll admit they can sometimes do it subtly and well, but many times it looks horribly fake.
I like how you bring up what are now considered the "real reasons" of the Iraq war and then insult anyone who doubts Bush. Are you really saying that his and his cohorts outright lying about the entire purpose of the war and jumping on the 9/11 bandwagon are excusable, and that calling out those lies isn't objective or reality? Who exactly is the sheep here?
Well sure you can plot anything in two dimensions as long as you drop enough variables. You can at least use color to make your 2d chart contain additional data at the expense of colorblind people being able to differentiate some of it.
I, also, have a Dell 20" with 1600x1200 resolution, and haven't really noticed many color issues. While the blacks certainly aren't perfect, they don't have any weird silvery issues. My guess is that the wide-screens have more polarization issues due to the extended viewing angles.
I don't know all the nuts and bolts of redirection, but from the examples above, I think that your browser really is connected to the phishing site via AOL, Live, or Yahoo, so that solution would not work. Well, maybe it can choke on links that seem to have domains or URLs embedded in them.
There is a pretty large high-end market where people will pay upwards of $4-5k for a gaming rig. The look on their face when they realize that 99% of the games on the market only take advantage of a single core? Priceless. Instead of multiple cores making my game that much faster (and really, I think the video card is the biggest bottleneck) I am more interested in background tasks causing less drag on the game I'm playing. That is where multiple cores will come in handy. Though to be fair, I don't see much (if any) slowdown in my single-core overclocked amd3700 while gaming and downloading multiple torrents and having various apps like firefox sitting in the background.
Hmm. Thanks to Netflix, uTorrent, and AdBlock, I haven't seen an ad in *months*! While a free cell-phone sounds attractive, and even if i could stand to watch some targeted ads, I don't trust or want to run their proprietary ad software on my computer, and I don't trust the long term availability of their service. Much like how I have my email on a long-term provider like gmail, instead of trusting it to my local isp.
You think he should have reacted in a knee-jerk fashion and spoke out against the officers? That sounds incredibly short-sighted. In fact, I think this just goes to show that Kerry actually things about the repercussions of actions before carrying them out. Answering that final question was a clever move.
Actually, I'm just like him. I happen to detest commercials and don't watch *any* live tv anymore because of them. Netflix and torrents provide my tv entertainment now. I do, however, believe I can withstand just one 30 second commercial per break. They could even charge the advertiser more for the spot, as the commercial doesn't have any competition and would make a bigger impression because of it.
Not serving up a page to someone who isn't going to click through saves you costs that won't produce revenue. Go ahead, alienate your potential customers, lets see what kind of user base you end up with. I would consider the less profitable users to be a simple cost of doing business.
Oh, and I would think that someone viewing your site without clicking adds is several levels of magnitude less a bottom line impact compared to someone sitting in a starbucks without paying and depriving a paying customer a place.
I'll tell you. By hosting the ads themselves. They vet the ads, they host the ads. They don't just rent the top of their page for every crap ad in the world to get thrown in.
Exactly. The only ads i've seen in *months* are the adds on hardocp.com because they host them themselves, and i don't bother to go out of my way just to block them. I've even clicked-through on a couple of interesting ads.
Good point. If we *all* switched over to wind power, it could slow the wind to the point that clouds that form over the oceans and lakes never make it over land, thus causing rivers to dry up and rain to never fall on land. It would be a devastating disaster!!! I am so glad we have these fossil fuels to burn instead.
Amen to that. Even silly fluff like Buffy the Vampire Slayer is fun and entertaining when you have some 100+ hours of storyline backing it up.
At one time, I was wanting to buy all of the season DVDs for 24. But then I noticed how completely outrageous the prices were, and now I just use netflix for my entertainment fix. With all the commercials on TV and the price of DVDs, it's almost like they're both *trying* to drive people away.
Is that any different than the millions of decent people who believe in god? Maybe they're just showing their disdain for one ridiculous religion by joining another *even more obviously* ridiculous religion.
Do they even have laws protecting free speech in England? As bad as the U.S. seems to be getting, at least Manhunt 2 is legal here. I just wish various nice European cars were legal here as well.
Wouldn't the speaker's insanity tend to prove, or at least substantiate, his claims of radiation having negative effects? If he were completely sane, it would indicate that his exposure to radiation had minimal bad results.

Last I heard, the Earth rotates, and since we are both in the Northern hemisphere and even roughly the same latitude, you should be able to use the same chart -- http://media.skyandtelescope.com/images/Comet+Holmes+Finder_l.jpg

That would just result in the Tor server, or servers, getting DoS'd. That doesn't sound very friendly to the Tor network to me.

You'll have to be a little more subtle if you really want anyone to fall for your strawman.

Yeah, I really believe you have a 900MHz K6. (I know, you meant an athlon or duron as even K6-2s maxed out around 500MHz or so)
Other than that, I agree -- most non-gamers would be fine with it.
That's a good point. For that matter, it still drives me crazy how difficult it is to open Microsoft Works documents in Word, and vice-versa.
