I'm not surprised if the botnet is already up and running again, controlled from a new location.
I would be pretty surprised, seeing as how the controller is in custody.
Well, at least that's what they are saying on the news. If the botnet found a new server and someone else is controlling it now, I hardly think they would let that reach the news.
I used to think capital punishment was wrong, but I don't anymore. Seen to many crap from my fellow humans.
Yeah. We need capital punishment for running botnets, poor driving, poor opinions, disrespect for live humans, poor grammar, too. Especially for anyone seeing to many crap.
They can cut off your electricity, as it's enabling you to use illegal content. They can garnish your wages, as it was earned applying knowledge aquired illegally. They can remove the blood in your veins and sell it, as that was produced using food you purchased with money from your job using knowledge acquired illegally. Next time, PAY for your pr0n, or don't be suggesting the use of use those positions you learned watching it on the job, just stick to whatever the client proposes.
That's the main achilles heel of online free speech. Too bad nobody's figured out a solution that scales to everyone. Using other people's IP only goes so far. You can run all you want within Tor, but nobody wants to run the exit nodes. Plus, it brings the problem of anonymity for real crime with real victims, and therefore real investigations, right into the anonymity network. I run a cybercafe, it's a constant legal preocupation. I think of just closing all the time, many around here did...
If we can prove beyond reasonable doubt that he is indeed the mastermind behind all this, I say we make a spectacle of him.
Hang him, and broadcast it on all networks at prime time. Have his remains rot at the rope for a few weeks, with daily updates on the news.
You only get such honors if you do horrible things, like scare people with smoke, and can be associated to a region that sits strategically near vast oil fields or other military goals. Actually sabotaging computers at most earns you one minute on one evening of news, some jail time, if you can wring it, perhaps of recognition and sympathy and a good job afterwards.
Hope Google, or anyone, manages do keep high compatibility between versions and platforms. Need more interoperability, to stop losing open source apps.
Hitler's politics are nowadays mostly described "Nazism", but he invented nothing, the underlying philosophy was Fascism. It was embarassingly also adopted by many US corporations of the time, a short-sighted, desperate reaction to the growth of anarchism and soviet communism. In regards to production, Fascism's model for distribution of labor was Corporatism . Corporatism mostly survived WW2 and continues to guide labor distribution. As corporate products, all cellphones would be results of contemporary Corporatist labor ideas. Open source however, important component of Android, has some labor performed in a method mostly compatible with Anarchism, (kernel.org, et al) and some labor from Corporatism (google.com.) so it is a rather a mixed animal, but already breaks with pure Corporatism labor management ideas. Even iOS has some open source, though perhaps not enough to make it mixed. Pure Corporatism-production would include no open souce code at all. That would leave us with WinCE and many other proprietary cellphones systems.
Evidence that windows os's are aligned with Corporatism, associated with Mussolini and Fascism, and adopted by Hitler and the Nazi, are that Enigma, the famous military encryption code, ran on Windows 95, and was created at George Mason University.
They are not the main obstacle anymore, its greenwashing, lack of public information on effective actions, and political stalemates due to business interests, business as usual. For example, huge efforts to sell cars doing 45mpg only, instead of 25mpg, but almost none to encourage anyone to leave the car home, which would be 0gallon per mile, and everyone can try to do it, no fancy new car requirement and limitation.
Nothing there to see. Whatever makes human beings tick, it is there when alive, gone when dead. You can slice and x-ray the cpu all you want, you wont figure out much about system and OS design. You need to find the right kitchen with the right lady making cookies, and the correct keymaker with the right key to the right door. I could just tell you now, but you arent ready, you wouldnt know if I were just another writer offering false cookies in a forum.
Tinfoil hat owners, spooks and company are likely busy with this stuff. People are never concerned of course - they are protected by their privacy laws -- on paper. In practice,all sorts of illegal data is *never* secretly collected by *any* weird groups, who *always* abide by all laws, and are *never* made available under *any* negotiated secret agreements or channels. Such backroom agreements and channels don't even exist, except in the minds of tinfoil hat, paranoid weird people's fertile imagination. Everyone on this side has their rights protected, except the enemy of this side and the other sides.
What did they think would happen? They released documents that put Afghan civilians and US troops at risk. This isn't protecting democracy, it's treason. Wikileaks is giving aid to the enemy. The founder should be in prison, and slashdot is whining about the donation page getting shut down?
Wikileaks is not American. US soldiers volunteered for army and war, and the US voluntarily invaded Afghanistan, therefore, both placed in conflict and danger out of their own choices. There wouldn't even be any war data to leak otherwise.
I think it's fair to say open source is a great idea, freedom in coding, and the freedom creates some difficulty to standardize things, one of open source's difficulties. Eternal conflicts and icompatibilities among BSD versions, linux versions, packaging systems, command versions, libraries, standard directiories, all complicate developing open source apps. Its a tough challenge. Freedom to modify and fork, lack of centralized management and control, is pretty basic to open source. Perhaps big advances in open source could be made by making open source the front and center for the advancement of numerous open standards, for many more things, that multiple projects willingly adopt, such as metadata, file formats, libraries, etc. Worked for html. Common strategy in tech - make the standards yours.
imho every tech company would sue every other, amounting to a kind of denial-of-service clog in the legal system. No possible resolution of so many suits other than renegotiate the rules, or a truce, which is what we have now. Liberty of ideas is not what we have now. We have a kind of invention ideas "pax romana" reality.

I used to dread the day where I would want to reformat my phone, too. Now I don't, I just have to reformat my phone.
unless you're on *nix
Unless your *nix is a jailbroken iOS without modifying the password.

Hey, it worked back then, crime rates were much lower. Come on, just be pragmatic.

"the borg" is a silly scifi notion from last century that only old people even care or know about
I'm not sure I can find a good modern analogy. Botnets? The Power Rangers? Credit cards?

Investing in Java is a safe bet in any case, even if predicting the future is always a risky proposition.

Off with their heads!

Wikileaks is a great project, but its not too clear how people can help them.
I'm all for cyber espionage, especially if the data is leaked all over. Perhaps people would figure out how manipulated they are.

Wikileaks are good
Help me out...WTF does this mean, and WTF does it have to do with rollovers?
"Give me money. "
It's in legalese. You wouldn't understand, it's a lawyer thing.
