Wow, really? No verification for the unfiltered twitter-banter of people who claim to have read something on the internet? I'll be over here looking shocked and whatnot.
All clouds are free... you just have to go outside to see them.

The DC Snipers weren't really terrorists though, were they? I was about a mile away when the last victim got shot... we got several days out from class because of it. Just because some guy changes his name to Mohamed doesn't mean he's anything other than a nuts multi-murderer.

Isn't that just the crude way of saying "fight them over here so they don't fight us over here" or whatever Bush's stupid catch-phrase was? Actually, isn't that also the whole point behind maintaining a professional, standing army rather than a citizen's militia?
Well, I guess if this is the only good to have come out of making 'Water World,' then perhaps the movie isn't all/that/ bad... but it's still mighty close on balance.
You mean that every other operating system has this same bug? Including MacOS X, then. So, no... I doubt it's their iPhone 4. MS also has more experience dealing with stuff like this. Apple is currently experiencing what its like for a pretty girl the first time she gets blown off by some random dude she's attempting to con into doing her a favor.
In much the same way that soldiers have to shoot full metal jacket ball ammo, even in pistols, against enemy soldiers, whereas civilian cops carry hollowpoints, typically in rounds with much higher ballistic properties (.40s&w or.357Sig are comperable to.357 magnum, but in a shorter round. MUCH more powerful than 9mm). Basically, if a state trooper shoots you, you're less likely to survive than if a soldier shoots you.
Wouldn't bringing down salaries for IT workers in the health care industry reduce health care costs? Isn't that basically what the whole debate was about with regards to health care "reform" was about for the last 2 years? They need more IT people to support moving everything to computers, but that means they can pay them less at the same time, as there's a larger supply than demand at that point. Makes sense to me, even if it sucks. But not my industry, so meh.
You know this isn't the type of server that users ever actually/see/ right? Or have you never set up/run a DNS infrastructure before to know what DNSSec is actually for?
Isn't it kind of a big jump to go from "weapon of war" to "local cops can afford this?" I don't think the VA Beach or Norfolk police can afford much of anything that Raytheon sells. Of course, neither article mentions the price of this thing, but the general rule is "if you have to ask, you can't afford it." Of course, its not like Posse Comitatus means anything anymore, so maybe they'll just get a unit from the local military base to come out for the day and "adivse" them with it.
The same cheap, fly-by-night operations that trafficers in child porn, for-pay pirated material, phishers and spam lords favor? I don't know anything about this outfit though. Never heard of them until today.
They probably seized some equipment as evidence in an investigation and the numbers are just grossly over-inflated for sensationalist reasons. Seizing a couple of servers that have 10,000 customers each isn't the same thing as "ordering the sites off-line" -- it's seizing the hardware in order to protect chain of evidence and integrity of the data seized. It's still kind of a dick move, but I'm not really going to take the bitching of people who seem to be perfectly willing to watch movies but don't want to pay for them.
Yeah, well... live by the sword, die by the sword. Maybe if they'd quit trying to talk about how "magical" and "revolutionary" their products are like some sort of techo-Goebbles then they wouldn't get their hype bubble busted.
A lack of ability to properly configure a server can often lead to developers writing code that requires more than the minimum privilege level, wonky configuration "needs" without really thinking it through, and a mindset of "throw hardware at it!" Working previously as a system admin at a web hosting company, the new hires that came to us, usually with a lack of college education or experience with compiled languages but a lot of experience as "web developers", they answers usually involved excessive needs for additional memory. A lot of the resource abuse issues I had to deal with also boiled down to a customer installing a software package that had a lot of neat features but required dedicated hardware to run far in excess of what a shared hosting package or even a VPS could deliver without affecting quality of service for other customers.
I'll freely admit I'm not a good web developer, but I can hold my own reasonably well with Perl and C in the areas I work in then and now. My first instinct, however, is exactly the opposite of "buy more RAM" or "just let everything in through the firewall." Not saying all, or even most, developers are like that. But a very high percentage of the ones I've seen in action are.
I would expect an Executive Agreement has the force of an Executive Order to his underlings in the Justice Department to put forth certain arguments in court until a judge agrees and they become binding precedent thanks to that oh-so-brilliant principle of Common Law. In the countries where they have Prime Ministers they can just go straight to the "this is now the law" phase.
No, I've seen it. I used to have a pretty decent email pen-pal thing going on with Ken about 10 years ago. He's a pretty cool dude. The point is, yes, even if you see the code, unless you have the code to the compiler and build it yourself, then you can't trust the binary. Basically, you can't trust anything you don't create from scratch. There could also be back-doors in ROM in the hardware. Which is why I go on to say how even if you do your own audit you can't actually trust anything. Either you won't understand everything, you'll have taken in too much information and miss something vital or,as per your example, the real root of the problem will be so obscured from view that it doesn't even matter what you're auditing.
Unless you go through all the code yourself, there's no way to be sure of anything. And unless you're uber-bad-ass, its going to be really hard to understand every line in a massive code-base someone else wrote, let alone all they all play together. So, even if you do your own audit, you can't really be sure. Life's a bitch, isn't it?

how many of the results on a search for "medical informatics MS" are for a Masters of Science and not Multiple Sclerosis?
The calculators will be destroyed by the zombies to strengthen the brains of the humans, thus increasing their nutritional value to the zombies. DUH.
that's what she said.
See, your analogy breaks down because it relies on a fat, ugly girl having had sex enough to catch 17 diseases. That just doesn't seem real to me.

I'm pretty sure porn indexing isn't niche... or a hobby. Its the true reason Google exists.
