I pay $15 a month here in central Indiana. For that amount I can put out up to six 33 gallon barrels. Of course, I occasionally put out two to five PC chassis and a few monitors and no big deal occurs. They just haul it away for my $15 a month.
I think you'll find that some URLs are mean to be 'private' in the sense that the site admin hasn't come up with a more sensible means of securing an area. It's bad practice, but it happens. I used to know of some 'pay' chat sites where the subscriber's password was embedded in the URL. Capture somebody's history and you could trivially masquerade as them.
It's horrible security design, but it _is_ intended as a key to a lock.
It's Wikipedia, not Amazon or PayPal. Most people don't care enough to use a strong password.
But you are so wrong. People who have 'bought into' the Wiki thing are very heavily invested in their 'identity' on the site. Similar to how people cling to their on-line identities on many other venues.
No, what he's saying is 'it's not just Bush, and a bunch of political opportunists should stop trying to make it into a Democrat versus Republican thing.' Face it, it doesn't matter if you vote for the left or the right wing of the big mean buzzard if it's coming for you.
'Paying tribute to the boys in Washington' has been and is the entire crux of the DOJ vs. Microsoft case. People like Larry Ellison and the Apple folks have always had well-heeled lobbyists and close connections to the 'men in Washington.' Microsoft had the arrogance to thumb their nose at the whole scene.
'the correct URL' translates similar to 'the correct combination to the mailbox at the Post Office.' That someone came up with and publicly announced a means of 'cracking the combination' does not change that.
But there's no 'hope' for me. I'm not even applying to get an MBA. And I think I'll go sharpen my swiss army knife...
Producing non-DRM chips for the 3-5% market segment that demands them would be foolish. Sure, that 3-5% (fanboi)segment might at this point represent 58% of their current market, but designing oneself into a niche is no way to grow. It isn't profitable to mask a part for low volume markets. It's expensive to carry wide inventories where there's only a tiny market for half the catalog.
I don't know of any other reasons why one would want to run Windows 2000 instead of XP. Except maybe activation (oh, boo hoo).
Well, activation, and shelling out a couple of hundred bucks to Microsoft yet again, for crap I don't need or want.
Mozilla is a hell of a good browser on Windows. (Dunno about Foxfire, tried it once but they ripped a lot of good stuff out to 'AOL' the User Interface, IMHO)
Nope. The US engaged in the largest 'land grab' and conquest of Native Americans after independence had been established. There was abuse when it was a colony, but it pales by comparison to the 'westward expansion' of the 19th century.
We can all hope China will one day set up a representative democracy (again). They had one for a short period in the early to mid 20th Century. Sun Yat Sen was instrumental in that period. Sadly, the Communists didn't carry on with his vision of a free China. (nor did the KMT, for that matter)
Credibility is about not sneaking in through a backdoor function to get information that you KNOW will be delivered on a schedule that has been cited.
No, I don't think any of these 'victims' of Stanford will be putting this experience on their resume. No company wants to hire people who take tips off blogs and IMs to do end runs around 'authority.' The one or two civil-libertarians out there who happen to be involved in some HR function are far outnumbered.
Not sure what you're getting at with the 'I screwed up...' bit. That's certainly not the impression I get from what I hear of the people busted in this whole incident. How many of them withdrew their application to Stanford honorably?
If you buy the right 'brand new printer,' you should have no problem running Word for DOS with it. If you pick some shit-new Inkspray garbage printer, you're SOL. Pick something that talks PCL or Postscript, you'll have no problems.
It's very similar in some respects to picking the right printer for Linux.
The vast majority of people will never see seven figures in their lifetime but they'll defend the idea of the right to make obscene amounts of income, just so they can hold out the dream of one day being more wealthy than everyone else too.
It's not a matter of self-interest. It's just believing in fairness. If somebody else can make big bucks, all power too them. It's nobody else's business preventing them from doing so, if done in an honest fashion.
How many people have said, "We must believe in God, for if we do, and he does not exist, nothing happens. But if we do not believe in him, and he does exist, then we are doomed." But, it's fairly clear he does not exist.
That's a rather awkward distortion of the basis of belief in God. Faith must sustain itself, because if there IS a God, he's not gonna fall for some fake-belief based on pragmatic considerations. Hence, the faithful do NOT base their choice to believe on the short-sighted idea you expound.
Anyhow. Just stick to something you understand, and stop spewing the parodies of religion that you find amusing.
Wow. Has China punched a hole in the Great Firewall to let authentic China-indoctrinated thinkers emerge to read and comment on Slashdot, or have they established cells of astroturfers outside the country?
Well, somebody probably needs to chime in about the difference between the etablishment/expansion of a democratic country, and a communist dictatorship increasing it's land mass.
Additionally I will expunge all visible references to IE and Outlook (on the START menu, in the Programs menu, etc.) and ensure his default clients are set to firefox and thunderbird.
Way to go! Let's all emulate Bill Gates to defeat him.

Q: Who uses weak passwords (apart from other vandals trying to pull off the same stunt)?
Richard Stallman. (grep the page for 'passwords')
Also, from the queue on K5, this article might just be the death squirms of the nailed troll(s) anyway.
Oh yes, indeed. Because anybody who makes a concerted habit of trolling Wikipedia is gonna consistenly use the same password on all their accounts.
Right.

The constitution vote went 'No' in France, and it will do the same in the Netherlands.
We can hope this now means the dried husk of 'EU' bureaucrats will blow away in the next high wind.

Indeed. Algore's version would be smoother, would go down easier, and he's much better at directing an army of bureaucrats.

No, in fact I am comparing a 'private entrance on a public entity' to a 'private entrance on a public entity.'
Unless you're going to pretend that the web server in question was going to just throw up a public list of who had been accepted for everyone to read.

Just check off the link that says 'willing to moderate' and let the 'infrastructure' of slashdot fester and spew.

I suppose it could be me, but what the hell...
Using that same reasoning, it's clear that you're totally opposed to the dictatorship currently ruling China.
I can't say the same for the Sino-astoturfers spreading the anti-Lama meme.
Only because I enjoy certain aspects of the Star Wars Christmas Special, I maintain that somebody should go back in time to aprox. 1979 to kill Lucas.
I mean, the hell with all this revisionist crap.

Okay, fine.
Sophmoric profanities aside, you make a certain good point.
Let's just substitute 'the screen door at the back of a resturant' for the one I originally specified.
Better hope the cook isn't one of those dudes who has his own knives and keeps them sharp.
