    It's most likely a publicity stunt that "hackers tried to hack our system!11!one" instead of an actual "real" audit / pen test.

    It's not worse that attackers can do that than that the company can do that.

  8. Re:This is absurd on Unsecured Wi-Fi to Become Illegal? · · Score: 1

    Well lets assume there's a similarity in packages from different OS (which would be the 'information' part of the package) and a difference (the 'identification' part). Now its not excluded by logic that you can build an OS which fakes the 'identification' part of the package since its the 'information' part which only matters for the information.

    No, the distinction is what cannot be disproven

    I agree with that but that's not what you've said in first place.

    And a Buddhist will argue if you want him to :) not that I am one myself but thats what I've heard

    Furthermore, in my opinion you can only classify the "theory" of communism since actions itself cannot be considered scientific or not, only hypotheses can.

    The world will never be at peace because somebody always wants something that somebody else has. Wealth, money, land, resources, etc.

    It's is okay for people to illegally download music, movies, and software as long as they're made by a big studio or artist. Even though this goes against the wishes of the creators and owners of the content in question, it is acceptable.

    It is not okay for you to use a GPL'ed piece of code without GPL'ing it because this goes against the wishes of the creators and owners of the content in question.
    that's not the onliy difference:
    1st is about keep making money and keeping something not free(freedom-free)
    2nd is about keeping making no money and keeping something free(freedom-free)

    that might be the reason for the difference.
  18. Re:Link to get it on 1 Million Firefoxes in 4 Days · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That's what I think, too. The extension management should be built closer in the installation. So if you install, you can select all the extensions you want and the setup downloads them for you, and installs them.
    I imagine a DAU (duemmster anzunehmender user[ger], stupidest imaginable user) downloading mozilla and not even knowing there _are_ extensions (except they read what's on the page at start). There is an improvement, altought, in the interface (see here), but you have to browse there manually and you gotta know what you're looking for on the firefox page (its small on the right side).
    Still, you have to configure it anyhow, like IE if you want it to work like you want, you cant go around this.

    besides, it imports settings etc from the IE, so you don't have to set up that much. (I havent tried that, I'm not using IE at all)

    I can't see the connection between:
    -something is linked to the pleasure centre
    -something is birth-given, and not learned

  22. theory: the joy of revenge on Revenge Really Does Taste Sweet · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I think if you revenge for something, you actually want to show your victim that you can "also do that", and the victim is not superior to you, and can push you around.
    so revenge is an act who increasess self-esteem which gives satisfaction (this is clear, I think).

    therefore it's not an instinctive thing, rather a "point-of-view"-thing which comes out of rationality.
    I myself think, I am superior if I stay with my ethics and do not hurt people in revenge. That doesen't mean I wouldn't hurt people at all, but not in revenge.
    This gives me satisfaction, too.
