they already have one, if the police search your computer and find an encrypted hard drive/container, you are REQUIRED to give them the key/password to access it or face 6 months in jail.
what I believe is, Google did this on purpose to encourage people to complain.
what this mean is 2 fold; 1. google gets in the news about a change to their site, people go to the site to check it out and complain.. 2. site gets returned to normal, people feel relaxed and happy its back and then googles some more, by doing this google refreshes its image as a simple search engine, because people still have in their minds, OMG how could you change this... boosts profits of advertising and encourages loyalty.
People complaining about google doesn't mean much to them, especially with something minor such as changing a background. but have 20 million people see this and then realise its gone will bring (if only temporary) a sign of relief. think of it as a carrot process, you entice users by showing something they dislike and then reward them when they find something they like, it makes the users feel accomplished and feel more part of the process.
now think of when those people are relieved they will then make use of this new fancy search engine they helped make.... even if it is an illusion.
remember they arent just IT techs at google, they have psychologists too.
Actually the immunity would involve him and his parties resources, including servers.
Servers; you cant raid a parliamentarian due to the very sensitive nature of government issues, secrets and what not. if TPB is hosted on the same server as other parliamentary resources then the courts will have a very tough time granting permission to take that resource.
Internet; they wont be able to shut down the internet because they would then censor the parliament parties website, a big no no,media would have a field day, it would be political suicide for anyone who does this.
The sony CPU architecture has it right with all its security and obsecurity.
untilize hardware keys, rom hash checking with redundancies, un-erasable logs of system access.
while 100% secure isnt possible with something as public as this, it will prevent more fake votes than paper methods.
include an electronic vote stored digitally on an encrypted flash drive (PGP maybe or with the decryption key stored somewhere else?), one vote sent to a db server (say used for media) and one printed to a spool ( a roll of paper, shows the constant stream of votes, if torn would indicate tampering at a certain point, usually stuff printed on it, time code, voted for, machine code...) then the spool is sent to the counting station, numbers are then recorded and compared to both the db (with lower priority) and the flash drive, no one knowing the true numbers (passive request; send the numbers, compares and flags a different station about the inconsistencies)
Software would be loaded through chips, which are verified on the day and destroyed 3 months after the election, giving time to audit the chips and election results.
now as always there are links in the chain but with oversight and dual process, this can be avoided to provide the most accurate vote.
i do encourage people to discuss and find flaws and provide solutions, as the more minds on this the more likely something might be developed.
not true.
i was at the mall a few weeks ago and there was an ATM with the pc door open, when i was in line i could see everyone at the ATM's looking it, was funny.
next week i go there, ITS STILL OPEN. yeah very secure, when EVERYONE using the ATM's have to have a peek, no one really cared.
that's why they have CD packaging specifically for this (that little box a tiny big bigger than a jewel case).
write fragile on it, as you cant expect the post to know what's in the packaging.
with malware popping up in fridges and ATM's, how long will it be before the malware infects one of these machines, maybe it will write web addresses on your incision.
Hey Terry, shouldn't you be in jail for Denial of Service
it doesnt matter where the spam comes from, its a business, it matters where it is sent from, shut down that and you've stopped it. Spam will always be around its just a matter of advancing technology to filter it, notice i didnt say stop it because like porn, its impossible to stop it all, its always evolving and advancing.
the poor internet is getting old and having a hard time dealing with spam, but its coping, i remember a while ago they said the internet will collapse under all the media streaming, well its still here; again when all the IPv4 addresses run out, people will move to IPv6 with maybe a slight inconvenience, but until IPv6, DNSSEC, DKIM, SPF is implemented we have to deal with outdated technology, and lazy people.
how stupid is this, the airlines want compensation because a volcano erupted, what about other natural disasters? they're opening a can of worms if you compensate business' for natural events.
what next? cruise liners will want compensation because the government didnt stop tidal waves?
train corporations will want compensation for when it snows?
its plain stupid for any government to control the weather or what mother nature does, so its very unrealistic to offer compensation because of this.
what you're forgetting is choice, when one makes a decision to put something outt here, one will see the choice people choose; no debate will solve anything beacuse its only 2 parties with 2 different perceptions.
When the government finally decides to go through with this, it isnt going to be overnight, firstly they will give plenty of time for manufacturers and owners to upgrade facilities, they will then start using dual tender, slowly reduce the amount of old tender and over the period of 10-20 years slowly phase out the old notes. then people will be used to the new notes and not notice the changes.
Welcome to the land of the "owe, i hurt myself, lets blame who's near my so i don't look like an idiot"
this is obviously a grab for cash, when genetic disorders like this cannot instantly be created from a flash of light, if she had a pre existing condition, light sensitivity, then i doubt she's gonna get that cash she so hope she would, poor girl is probably stuck in the middle of the greed from her parents.
now suing everyone who they detect downloading a film can be beneficial, they're opening themselves up to a world of hurt.
Technology these days allows routing pretty much through a toaster, many courts have said (not US) that an IP address is NOT an identifiable piece of information, some other courts also have rules that IP and any personal information should remain private unless court ordered to do so. So in turn they would need to get 20,000 court orders for identifying names, and then 20,000 summons.... tying up courts for small matters of downloading (compared to murder, fraud and assault), also considering proxies, TOR, encrypted traffic, peer blocking there are so many ways technology overcomes this "tracking" that if taken to court the burned of proof, potential for technical flaws and other aspects will make most cases moot.
I can see many judges just dismissing these cases just cause of the shear number of them. The industry may look at the numbers and think ok 20,000 people = $20 million in revenue, they dont think ahead and consider the social and legal implications.
I use Kaspersky, home and work, we use AVG at work (me being the IT Manager decided so) but after our website was infected with a javasscript trojan AVG didnt detect anything, i was wondering why the site keps on getting infected (default.aspx page kept on getting corrupted and generated errors), so i ran kaspersky on my pc, and it detected the trojan instantly (from the sites infected javascript), AVG said our site was clean. on that I have decided to look for alternatives, and will give MSE a try, but i'm keeping kaspersky on my PC as it seems to detect more than AVG (keep in mind this is NOT the free version but a fully licensed version)
heh it already died: Database Error: Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MySQL
and man is it slooooooooow!!!! didnt know they had servers on pluto
using the same password for their email account as they do with their social networking sites then people should expect to be compromised.
I suggest you use 4 types of passwords, one for accounts that wouldnt effect u much, one for email, one for social sites and IM, and one for bank accounts; with none of the passwords having anything to do with each other, e.g redball, orangeball,greenball... or whiteball, soccer, redflag... as this limits the guess work.
this "hack" was probably just stupid curiosity which will probably get him arrested, and once that happens he will loose a lot of control of the company.
well that's an oxymoron there, people all complain that they don't want to be tracked for their habits, but also complain they want more relevant ads, how is that going to happen unless the advertiser KNOWS what you like?
i am not opposed to advertisers tracking me cause i will then know there might be other things out there that might interest me, might even be better than something i come along off the street, remember the main goal is for them to sell you something you want.
With that said i block ads using Ad Blocker, one of the benefits with adblocker is the site can detect it and send you a little message on the site, thereby notifying the user, when sites do this i white list them, the main reason is, as everyone states, load times, it may be a bug or just slow servers but it always holds up the page, now everyone knows browsers aren't perfect but please.... if you do something to slow down a users browsing, u deserve to be ignored.
no disrespect t_ban but it isn't racism, i don't hate Indians because they're Indians (in fact i have an indian mate, Tushar.)... i hate indian coders, because i can never seem to find any good, honest ones... therefore i don't hire indian coders.. its logical; why would you waste your time sifting through a bunch of coders who have cheated you so many times.. its not worth it, I do concede there are probably some very good ones out there but its always hard to find good apples, and the funny thing is everyone knows how bad they are its just cause they're cheap and there's so many of them out there.
So now I hire (and support) local talent, it may be a bit expensive, but at least when they fuck up i know where they live/work, and have to follow the same laws, and when your software requires stable secure code... its worth it.
there are differences between an internet bank transfer and a wire transfer.
Internet banking transfers can only transfer to a bank within the country of origin, the Wire transfer is used for international banks, where there is more overhead processing, therefore is usually a set fee or a percentage of the transfer.
In Australia the wire transfer fee is $30 (CBA) and that was transferring $7k
a majority of people use paypal because its easy, there are protections in place (when they feel like protecting you) and its a trusted platform (you dont have to give your credit card details out to every company you deal with)
If you rely on paypal for an income your an idiot, as its been well established that any dispute or problem and your money gets held up for months.
If your paying a coder you usually keep the money in a escrow account, paying for goods you usually use your credit card (but paying internationally with paypal is cheaper and easier). If i was a coder i would prefer the money to be in escrow (unless your a dodgy indian coder, which i have had my fair share of and refuse to hire anyone indian).
and you always gotta be wary of people who use western union or transactions in e-gold.
