More like forced to enjoy due to lack of suitable replacement currently. Flash sucks, programming flash sucks, Youtube and cie are awesome but require flash to work. I agree (for different reason as Jobs) that flash shouldn't be encouraged. I'm not too excited at the idea of having run on my phone. Now section 3.3.1 is a whole other ball game of dick move by Apple. A flash to native iPhone tool or any other language X to native iPhone app are useful is an stupid money grab by Apple. But that's their choice, I'll keep enjoying my android phone and try to avoid helping pollute the web by never developing with Flash. Yes my site looks like it was made in 1995 why do you ask?
This was before SUN was sold to Oracle I believe. Back then SUN was trying hard to be know as the "Open Source" company and I believe this was simply a marketing ploy by McNealy to get SUN more business in gov. I don't doubt that he spoke to Obama but I think the whole thing was over hyped by SUN.
This is as sleezy as it gets for an ISP. I hope firefox and google setup some sort of trusted cert and use HTTPS for the traffic from that bar. That might make it much harder for them to do men in the middle attacks of the sort. Google could sue the ISP for impersonation or something similar.
Thank you backwardMechanic. Calling RedHat freeloaders is completely ignoring all the contributions they made to OpenSource. They did not write 100% of the code that RHEL runs on but they did fix a lot of issues that would never be taken cared off by the upstream project for lack of coolness.
The reality today is that the Kernel is mostly developed by programmers paid by large corporations such as RedHat. Same goes for Novell who employs a lot of opensource hackers.
I don't think this should be down modded so quickly. He has a point, in what way is Amazon forced to tell this guy if they killed this spammers account or not.
I don't believe this is Amazon real intent here. If these IPs end up dirtied and on black lists around the world, this could cause them more trouble. But why should they automatically disconnect these instances without first investigating.
I hope you are being sarcastic here right? I mean EC2 isn't only for simple web site hosting. There are tons of services that need outside access. SIP might be less common but it's still a possible that someone would use it for legal things like alerting a sysadmin that his EC2 is spamming the world. I could see a ACL service being provided by Amazon as a good idea but in the end, a lot of people will just open everything to make debugging simple.
I do get a ton of EC2 scanning and ssh attacks on a VPS instance I have with another provider. I still don't think we should automatically kill all of EC2 for this. I would consider dropping all packets from EC2 but I'm not sure if this will block S3 also which I'm planning to use.
All smart kids will have a spare network cable, power cable, and if possible a extra monitor well hidden. My parents gave up that stuff after discovering the uselessness.
OK. This is about as low in insight a post can get. The point of this questions is to find a solution to do what the OP asked. While I don't agree with content filtering, the parent should have that possibility without being a hardcore admin. Squid should be easy to use and remote shutoff is a ridiculously simple thing to do with a ssh script (make a button for it somewhere). Setting up access windows is also not super hard to automate with a gui and pam. The only issue is that with enough knowledge, the kids will get around anything (even your low tech solution, I know I did).
The question is, is there a solution out there that does all of this and can be installed quickly not, is this worth automating. That's the parent's decision, they feel it needs automating in their situation, you know nothing of their situation so you can't comment on if they need this or not.
Actually, you can download the.apk on the phone and automatically install it. As far as I know, that's not possible on the iPhone. I think this is an important feature. Also, I like that I don't need iTunes to install my apps.
The reason Universities can't higher the best of their student is because those students have much better opportunities out there. And like all large organizations, staffing is always a major issue.
Exactly, I find it funny how everyone thinks China is out to destroy the US. China will just sit there and keep raking in the cash. Only reason they would get upset is if someone was going to damage that revenue stream.

And yes I know HTML 5 is on the way (I'm working on projects that make use of it right now) but it's not their yet.

You are assuming that those 309 million approve, which is not the case.

Well, who says it's only one server doing the intercepting. I'm simply updating the description to bring it closer to reality

oh this isn't going to end well for old Mc
yes because everyone on slashdot never broke the law ONCE. We are all corrupt. Just at different levels of the scale.
Are you trying to be funny? I really can't tell. If only you could put a symbol or something to mean it was funny.

Be careful what you wish for. Governments would be worse.

And the net command is a pretty good way to have fun with administrator access.
actually it is, heard of cygwin?
If only windows had something as simple as chroot.

Where's the money in that?

Once again the pirates get better stuff then the legal users. Oh wait, MT this isn't about the *AA.

You should start the anti-rupert index fund ;p
