It sounds interesting, as long as there is no background noise, you are alone in the room with the system and the system itself isn't generating any noises (fans? DVD access? music or sound effects?).
But tfa is about people getting recommendations from complete strangers. And imho, this is a whole new level of needy.
Don't forget that this can also be used to determine what not to buy. A lot of people like this? Then I'm not going to buy it because I don't want to look like everyone else. Now, where's the rack that's beta testing the new "Don't Like" button?
The assumption is that an employee who lied on his resume would likely be fired, but a CEO is too important to fire.
The assumption is that an employee who lied on his/her resume would likely lie about other things as well. A CEO can lie about the most important information about their company. Lie to the board, the stockholders, the SEC, etc.
His CS degree isn't relevant to his current position, but the fact that he lied about it is relevant.
But I was also going to say "uhm... you think churches DON'T make money?!" They make LOTSA... tax-free money.
Very true, but their website is not how they make their money. TFS made it clear that porn sites "already make money from the Internet and, as a result, have a vested interested in keeping their sites malware-free." If churches used a 'pay to pray' web model they too would be more inclined to make sure their websites were clean.
About a month ago one of my clients got infected by going to their church's website. I was able to verify it simply by going to the church's home page with the browser agent set to any Windows browser (instead of as a Mac).
well, the webpage shows better intent:
"Attack servers, crack passwords, exploit services, beat encryption - everything you need to protect yourself from evil."
But the magazine cover says "everything you need to be evil."
But it amounts to the same thing. This information is out there. You should be learning from it and protecting your information instead of trying to censor it as some sort of apology of crime. Anyone who is interested in "doing evil" and capable enough to do so, will surely find lots of ways they can gather that information online or even from programming/networking books.
You are correct that the best way to learn to protect your servers is to learn what the attackers are doing to try to break in.
I was wondering the same thing. I know people here like to cast "The Man" in the worst possible light, but are they really just bitching that the FBI didn't jump up and down and wave their arms so that people would know that the server was back?
The FBI re-installed the server without telling May First / People Link. They just put it back in the rack and reconnected it (and presumably turned it on). Who knows what they added to the server? I certainly wouldn't trust the FBI in this situation. If they had nothing to hide they would have returned the server to the facility operators so it could be re-install but the facility's personnel. This looks like the FBI were trying to sneak it back in.
Andy Grove paid billions to get access to Area 51 alien technology back in 1998. What's so hard to understand?
Ah its that chip from the android that came from the future. What could possibly go wrong.
It was the chip used by the mother ship in Independence Day that could run the virus from Goldblum's Powerbook. It already had cross platform virtualization technology and was years ahead of its time.
Network-affiliated stations in the top 50 markets will have six months to comply.
6 Months, eh? You mean, the beginning of November? Once the election is pretty much over?
Chances are that there will be some stations (or station groups) that contest this long enough to keep it from being enacted before this year's US Presidential election.
So one candidate may simply buy up all advertising slots, and bring a few five-minute ads every hour.
Though this seems like a strategic move, most (if not all) stations would recognize this as something that would drive viewers to change the channel. If I saw a long ad from <insert candidate's name here> I would find something else to watch. If I saw that ad showing up regularly I wouldn't go back to that station until the primary or general election was over.
Candidates know that there is a fine line between wooing voters and pissing them off. It is not in their best interests to be identified as that candidate.
Some stations speed up, reduce or even remove credits from TV shows and/or movies just to be able to squeeze in one or two more commercials during a time slot. Some TV shows are cut down slightly when they go into syndication so more commercials can be shown. And let's not forget those irritating ads that overlay the current show - sometimes in a bottom corner and sometimes swooping in in an attempt top attack your attention.
I worked on HP-3000's for years (back in the 80's and 90's). A sturdy workhorse indeed. Unfortunately the only language we had for it was HP Business Basic. <shudder>
More money down the shitter. I can't think of anything a hacker would gain from a medical device. What would be the point? Are hackers just evil and nefarious and out to hurt people in the hospital for the lulz? I doubt it.
Some just do it to see if it can be done, some of them *are* out to extort money and will hurt people in the process.

It never ceases to amaze me how shills/whores can find a way to blame anything on the company in their crosshairs.
It's no wonder the quality of your posts are just a step above 'goaste' - your username is even reminiscent of 'goatse'.
Tommy Flanagan is posting on /.? Yeah! That's the ticket!

No fortune teller believes in their own powers...
You under estimate the power of self delusion.
If you're using Google, Facebook, etc as an information source it's a pretty clear indication that your real power is lying to your victims.

I'm sure it was returned.. um.. "better than they found it."
The FBI prefers to call it "enhanced". I bet they simply 'friended' it on FBIBook.com ;-)

Yeah? Then why are Illinois' last two Governors in prison right now?
I guess there's no saving them when they are so corrupt that even other politicians are embarrassed by their actions.
Laws written by the government don't apply to the government. This is just a simple misunderstanding (by the people caught NASA breaking the law).
I have trouble believing either the reason B&N gave, or your more sinister reason.

Attack Servers, crack passwords, exploit services, beat encryption - everything you need to be evil. (Ben Everard)
That sounds a little more nefarious than the summary implies.

I think you forgot to sell ads on the inside & outside of the plane (a la NASCAR).

Let's check our Pepsi cam to see what happened to the State Farm Insurance crash test dummy
Check out what's left of engine #2, sponsored by Chevy. It's just to the right of the Doritos "Forever Crunchy" rudder and air flaps.
800,000,000 million
That's a lot of millions
But ... my ATM machine will hand out that much cash money after I enter my PIN number ;-)
I've paid for polls to know what you want in your area. I am now paying to say what you want to hear. I'll then do whatever I feel like when elected.
If we're playing To Tell The Truth you're going to have to be a little more specific. ;-)

just had a crazy idea, require honest names for superpacs, like "Halliburton execs for Romney" or "Goldman Sachs managers for Obama"
Or "Earth slaves who hate Kang for Kodos"? ;-)

Believe it or not the HP-3000 was still being sold up to 2003, so though being introduced much earlier than the transputer it was produced later.

Yes, they should. It should be a separate certification that allows doctors and consumers to chose medical devices with confidence.
They all seem to include drive, box or cloud. Which one will be next? DriveBoxCloud? BoxCloudDrive? CloudDriveBox?
On the up side you can't be inundated with endless commercials if your TV is in an endless restart loop ;-)
