    Nice idea, but said company develops the solution, produces a few items to show the patent office, might even sell a few of these products/services to customers, then sits back on, ending the product/service line.

    Now they are legal, now they can flatten that patent with their big corporate asses :) Welcome to the patent system manipulation :)

    WOW! Easy there, I think what he is saying is that he has seen lots of crack attempts, lots of spam (from his observations) coming from those IP groups for those countries. He decided to use a brute force method of simply just nullifying anything from those IP ranges. Why is that prejudice? He has seen a problem from an address range and decided to block it. Might not be the brightest thing in the world to do, but it is within his right to make that choice as the admin for his network.

    So one admin decides to black list entire address blocks in order to protect their network, BIG DEAL! Their right and THEIR loss.

    I remember a few years back when we had a blackout here in Denmark. A datacenter a friend of mine was working for was somewhat proud that they managed to stay up during the blackout - only thing is, none of their peers stayed up, so they where not actually connected to anything :)

    But that is one of the cool things about an outage; okay I am a Sysadmin, so my job is to keep everything up and running... however during our annual plant shutdowns, I enjoy watching server utilization and network utilization drop to zero ;) I dunno, I guess it is a sick kind of pleasure :P

    Nothing like also sitting in our plant server farm rooms, listening to the disks spin down - A/C shutting off and then quietness! ;) No fan noise, no A/C noise, no noise from the plant...

  13. Re:Do you actually know any rednecks? on Western Union Blocking Money Transfers to Arabs · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Oh and one more thing... NO FUCKING TRIALS? Holy shit, idiocy like that is EXACTLY why this government has the power it does to take away our rights. Hey, you criticized El Presidente, they can line you up and shoot you, and say "this guy was carrying explosives". Of course, since they don't actually have to PROVE that you were doing so, no one would be the wiser.

    Here! Here! I totally agree! Why are people so insistent on letting their government tell them how to live? If you're caught carrying explosives or suspected of terrorist plots and there is evidence, a trial will only determine your guilt. Being held in Cuba for an undetermined amount of fucking time is not a fair trial and those that agree with the Bush administration's policy on that do not consider what could happen to them.

    I had one idiot at work tell me, you only go to Gitmo if you've held unsavory connections to terrorist groups or suspected terrorists. In the eyes of Bush administration (as stated by them in justification of their spying on fellow Americans) anyone could be a terrorist. My point to him and question was, if suddeny Homeland Security came busting down his door and hauled his ass off to Gitmo, would he have a problem with that? Of course his first reaction was, "That is insane, why would they come after me?!?! That isn't realistic." My response was, "Sure it is realistic, people make mistakes, you're mistakenly taken away to Gitmo for no reason, would you be okay with that? Being held without legal representation, being held against your will, no contact with Family or Friends." After much prodding, he admitted he would not like that. Gosh? Really?

    What is my point? Treat others how you want to be treated! Everyone always says, "Hey! I am no terrorist! They won't come after me!" I retort, "Prove it! Prove to me right now you're not a terrorist!" - They can't! No one can! That IS the point of terrorism, that IS the problem with preventing terrorism. You do not need to be Arab to be a terrorist, the idea of terrorism is about terror! And guess what? Groups that have committed terrorist acts prey upon the terror and fear they have caused, just as much as our politicians prey on the same.

    Question everything! Especially question those that claim they are acting in your interests!

  17. Re:Oh, Democrats on The President, The State of the Union, and Genetics · · Score: 1

    Right-wing blowhards who are philosophically opposed to the concept of charity continually moan about how the program is going "bankrupt" (in approximately 50 years) and that the Federal government will collapse, and that cloned Commie supermen will conquer the Earth. The reality is that in the distant future, assuming that there are not steep decreases in revenue, Social Security may have to start dipping into the general fund to cover it's liablities. God forbid we spend money to help people in wheelchairs rather than spend it on weapons. Or the SS tax might have to be raised marginally, assuming the military can't live without the newest Lockheed-Martin Death Ray(tm).

    Or perhaps put the money back in to Social Security they took out to support the general fund :) Couple years not spending on wars would help Social Security a lot one would think :)

  18. Re:Well then, is it or isn't it? on Symantec Competing Unfairly Against Spybot? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Perhaps Symantec tried using their own ghost explorer to browse images, got as far as seeing the S&D folder under program files then ghost explorer crashed. This naturally led them to the conclusion that Spybot had corrupted their images and not the fact that their ghost explorer application is crap and will randomly crash when browsing images or extracting files.

    I remember when I was trying to pull a PST file from a very old desktop image of a user's PC about 2 PC's ago (I keep an archive on DVD of old images locked away... for later recovery). Ghost Explorer would retrieve the PST and it'd be corrupted. I ended up having to restore the image to a HD and then mount the drive and copy the PST over.
