The real question is, why do these hackers think the banks are responsible for this video or have any way to even take it down --from the internet, much less. Yeah, good luck with that --right, reputation.com? And why does everyone call this a 'YouTube video', as if Google had something to do with funding its production? Does YouTube have a DDoS problem from this group, too?
PNC and especially BoA's business practices alone qualify them as targets.
External boxes, though, have limited ability to integrate. The TV Guide program info that my Samsung DLP could display was useful until the broadcasters stopped sending it out, but an external box running something similar wouldn't be able to to change channels on the TV, so it would need to have the tuner integrated as well, basically getting one to a dumb monitor and an STB.
Once next years model comes out, firmware updates slow down and eventually cease. Then your smart TV will no longer receive any bug fixes, security updates or enhancements. Compare that to an external device like a Roku that is typically supported for years at a time. When it becomes hopelessly obsolete, you swap the out the box for less than a hundred dollars and have the latest and greatest again.
Roku's products unfortunately are obsolete right out of the box due to their staunch refusal to play DivX files. I wanted to buy Roku, but they don't want my business. Roku--, Boxee Box++.
In the future and we will have the same situation as the rootable Samsung printers. Someone will discover a serious exploit that won't be patched because all those products are at EOL.
True, I see it in all kinds of products, like the service processor firmware on Sun servers from a few years ago. Unlike those, at least, almost all TV's are going to be behind home NAT and unreachable from the outside anyway.
Ten minutes of my son screaming, plus the preceding half hour because we don't dare give him the device because we'd have to rip it from him forcibly. Which would you prefer, a quiet 4 year old or one in full-blown autistic meltdown?
You are doing it wrong. Head over to TBP. There are plenty of high quality verified FLAC releases with plenty of seeders
Yeah, but I like real music, not white guys with pinstripe shirts playing "jazz". And the tedium of re-encoding into a useable format. And all the RIAA attention you can eat
2 Good reasons: first, because he is a world class attention whore,... who actually calls himself "Julian ASSange". If he wants my attention, he'll get a real name.
Until 1983-84 when I entered the workplace I looked at vi the same way. I thought Jay Libove was the only one, but I was floored when I found people who should know better actually clinging to the thing.
Actually I have downloaded torrents of CDs I own. It tends to be faster than ripping and someone else has already gone to the trouble of doing all the metadata, downloading album art and most importantly checked the quality of the rip
I'm having difficulty reconciling the above ideas. With a torrent source consider the time/hassle required:
1) Find a torrent for a given album
2) Deal with the spam popups from the torrent site that loudly announce to one's wife that I'm surfing for pr0n
3) Watch the torrent to see if there are any seeds
4) Wait for the torrent to complete
5) When it doesn't, back to #1
6) Try to figure out if the torrent is for the remastered edition, or the one from 1983 that was done from a flexidisc off a cereal box
7) Figure out why tracks are numbered to 10 but only 8 files are provided
8) Figure out why only tracks 1, 3, 5, and 8 show up with the proper artist - hunt down the rest, half of which imported with no metadata and the other half of which erroneously show as being Ida Lupino's Greatest Hits
9) Replace the 50x50 cover art
10) Accept that tracks #2-6 were encoded at 96kbps
11) Correct the spelling of track #3's title
12) Inspect each track to see if it was done with some crappy-ass 20-year-old encoder
13) Hope that none of the files are truncated or sport holes
14) Hope that the RIAA doesn't catch you
vs
1) Buy the CD off half.com for $2
2) Rip it myself with XLD
3) Tweak metadata if CDDB (or whatever's in fashion this week) wasn't right
4) Know exactly what release I have, encoded with a favored encoder and bitrate, without tracks being truncated
The kiosk at Bellevue Square always has a handful of customer types, but since this mall is pretty much a Microsoft employee ghetto (eg. Tesla has a shop) that's to be expected. The Apple store is always surprisingly busy.
For a number of years I've used an MSWXP virtual machine for certain tasks related to service processors on certain servers. A couple of months ago I set up an MSW7 VM with the intent of using that instead - and I found that certain of the above tasks don't work. There is roughly a 0% chance of the server vendors issuing updated firmware.
When something goes wrong with that system, however, he's going to be knocking on your door to fix it, not a system vendor's. If it smokes and loses his PR0N^H^H^H^Hdata the blame will be on you, not on Dell/Apple/Asus/etc. Don't underestimate the costs there.

... and maybe Red Hat will incorporate this oh around 2015 :-(
Writing your own OS and applications from scratch, are you? Yeah, that's what I thought.
Is it *encouraging* MS Windows 8, or is it helping out those who have no choice?
Summary is also wrong in calling them the largest freshwater fish -- sturgeon are longer.

Plus, diesel is much less volatile than, say, gasoline.

If I WANT to tinker, *I CAN*.
Apple selling stuff that doesn't require a CS degree to operate in no way prevents you from perpetuating your virginity.
Lucky you. I set up a Linux desktop once, then CERT called me because it got pwned and was acting as C&C for a botnet.
That's hardly an option for most users.

Alternatively there is Usenet.
HAHAHAHAHAHA that's a good one.

So, I am prepared to say that the Retina MacBookPro is - by far - the best computer I have ever used in my life.
Your trackpad must be way less flaky than mine.

Linux, itself, is very widely accepted, used and relied upon.
... if one either doesn't need to use storage, or is large enough to have a dedicated dev team to write the missing pieces.
Let's compare then to other English-built engines, like the ones in Jaguars and the early Sterlings. Phear!
You're asking someone who doesn't *bathe* about how to look more respectable???

We have a complete unit that was used as our paper shredder for years until it became too bulky.
It grew on its own???
