what they don't include is those 200 jobs will most likely be brought in from outside. I doubt google is hiring joe schmoe to work in it's top secret data center, and I doubt a town of 12,000 has 200 brilliant engineers to fill the position(s).
Years of spyware, it's no suprise that they couldn't get it cleaned. How is this any different than a kernel trojan on linux? Reimaging sometimes is the only solution. It's far easier to muck a system up than it is to clean it afterwards.
and you entirely missed his point. Which was: either those shows can begin to provide the content online for people who want to download it and watch it on a computer, or they can lose their ass to piracy. Most people are willing to watch a few commercials if they can download the show they want, when they want it.
Not everyone, myself included, has time to be at their TV everyday at a given hour to watch their favorite show. I hate to break it to you, the studios aren't making any money when people Tivo either. I suppose next you'll tell us all how horrible it is when people skip the commercials using their Tivo? They can adapt their model, or they can die. Someone somewhere along the line will figure out how to provide those "expensive" shows on demand, and they'll reap the benifits. If not the current regime, then whoever replaces them. Stop being so naive and stop eating all the shit the **AA throws on your plate.
one note:
The apple "premium" on graphics cards can, and should, go away. They're using standard x86 hardware now so there is no reason they shouldn't be able to use the same gfx cards that all the other beige box OEM's use.
Not sure if you're not away, or just ignoring it, but SP2 wasn't a driver rollout, it was a security update. Just because you have SP2 doesn't mean you have anymore driver support than was in the base install from 5 years ago...
It's because we keep calling Russia a backasswords communist shithole. Suprisingly enough, Putin and company aren't all that willing to help us out when it comes to criminal matters. It's the exact same reason we wouldn't be too likely to let the KGB come into the US to extradite someone they were seeking. Why would they waste their time or money to help us? And they definitely aren't letting US soldiers on their soil...
right, because I'm sure you have enough people, with enough skill to analyze the entire linux source along with every other app you currently use. Or is it just that you trust someone else "would've caught it by now" if there were some obscure line of code that did *bad things*, or left a backdoor? Comments like yours are just a waste of bandwidth.
Funny, Symantec/Veritas Foundation Suite is deployed on at least one server in just about every major corporation in the world, and it's mainly aimed at *nix servers that are running FC. Turns out they are in fact making money off more than just MS, who'd a thunk?
If I had a dollar for every RHEL/Oracle/Veritas DMP setup I had to troubleshoot I could've retired already and I've only been doing it for a year...
that would be your favorite flavor of *nix then. The attack was carried out by misconfigured BIND servers. Last time I checked, BIND isn't the primary nameserver used by Windows, which is what I assume you were insinuating. These weren't windows zombies, this was drdos via *nix machines. Back to the drawing board on that one my good man.
Right, let's create a truly free market. I'm sure we can also magically erase all the funding the current "top dogs" have received from the government and our pockets. Let's also ignore the barrier to entry that exists because... where would a small local ISP even get the money for the permits to try and start laying cable in the ground to get that last mile?
Your idea sounds great on paper... no, not even there. If by some miracle a small local ISP did manage to get something going, the big boys would just roll in, sell broadband at a loss (because they can with the rest of the nation to pay for it), and put them out of business. When this was done they'd just jack prices again. Free market might have worked if it was free from the get-go, but it never was. There were always government subsidies and handouts. We can't "take it back".
Attack isn't an issue anymore. They're hosted on prolexic which can take whatever the spammer will attempt to send, no question about that. I can only assume it's either money, or users actually have left because of spam they're getting, or last but not least, these are truly Russian mafia who have threatened the guys behind BlueSecurity. It's easy to be an internet vigilante, it's a bit tougher when your life is on the line.
and that rectifies them of stealing a patent how? There's a lot of things I could do "better" than other companies that own patents, but that doesn't absolve me from the crime of stealing their patent.

because it's easier to hide corruption when you cover it up with lobbyists like Abrahamoff.
Guess now we know why she's the [b]PREVIOUS[/b] head of the RIAA. The infidels will be dealt with swiftly and without prejudice!
except that benchmarks have already shown ddr2 really doesn't do much of anything for the AMD chips because they aren't bandwidth starved as it is.
Do you have running water? Is there a road leading to your house that you can drive to work on? Do you have electricity?
Bring on the government intervention please.
you also pay 60% of it in taxes. Let's talk about takehome pay ;)
no you aren't. I was searching all over for it. Talk about lame not having it up anywhere!
so basically instead of the government sniffing your traffic it's other operators on anonet? And what if they happen to be government entities?

No need to picture it, I'm sure they'll have it in 3fast 3furious :)
Both work fine on my IBM a21m

AGAIN, NOT WINDOWS MACHINES. This was DrDOS from misconfigured BIND servers running on... you guessed it, *NIX.

it was ultradns that dropped, not prolexic. There's your answer.
guess I'll have to ask them :)

So what happens when you get struck by lightning and all electrical systems go down? Oh, right, you crash.
just ask Sen. Kennedy
