Yes, but you see, the encryption means that the bank itself has to do the work. In the case of lawsuits and PR issues, they have PR people and lawyers to deal with that, so the bank doesn't do much more work than lifting a finger and saying "go, mortal, and do thy job" or something.
Working at a data center myself, I'd say that heat might be more of a concern than power, but SSD trumps existing platter-based media in that regard as well. Something that doesn't move is much cooler than a few platters spinning at 15,000 RPM, after all.
That's just it, all the semicolons are in use in their code; they can't spare any more towards the article because they're probably running short for their own purposes.
Oh, I'm just talking of things that I've directly experienced myself. I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if this is an old trend that's been going on for a while.
And from what was said by the admin team at SA, Network Solutions wasn't any help to them at all, either. Funny, that.
It wasn't even that Comcast's domain expired. The pair involved in this managed to gain access to Comcast's Network Solutions control panel and had full authoritative control over the domains.
Apparently, according to the linked articles, they pulled it off twice, too. This wasn't a case of "oh sweet, that's not registered anymore, yoink", it was a case of actual wresting of control.
The question is if the weakness in security lies with Comcast (i.e. a weak password for the panel) or Network Solutions (i.e. weakness in their portal, weak transmission of passwords, etc).
Other websites that I know of have had this happen in the past, and the common trend seems to be that Network Solutions has been their domain registrar. The largest site in recent memory that this occurred to other than Comcast was SomethingAwful.
Perhaps it's a sign of a more underlying flaw in Network Solutions' security?
The problem here is that a lot of people do think that nothing apart from money has value. Most often, they're the ones running the corporations that most of us dislike.
Unless some settings legitimately vary per PC, such as key bindings and graphic detail.
Given, at least for graphical detail, but unless you're using something crazy like a 7-button mouse at home, keyboards are keyboards and mice are mice.
And admittedly, I made a bit of an assumption about the USB storage thing; my area doesn't have many internet cafes, sadly.
Agreed, this does feel like a bit of stating the obvious.
I think what they miss about FOSS is that at least some of the developers in the community do it as a hobby or for practice (or even resume padding so they can get a paid development job); compensation isn't that much of a sticking point for them.
Portability. You really don't want to have to drag around a USB key everywhere you go on the off chance that you get to play a game of TF2 or what have you somewhere. Plus, in a place like a internet cafe or LAN center, will the establishment let you bring an outside storage device and put it on their hardware? I don't find that likely.
And would you even want to? Too many cans of worms. This lets you keep your personalized settings pertinent anywhere you go. It's hardly necessary, but it's wonderfully convenient.
I mean, true, we really do need to get back to our normal routines of spaceflight, but we also need to make sure it's safe and that we're not going to lose any more shuttles due to microfractures or falling ice or whatnot.
Of course, this is also why I think that more effort needs to be put into commercial space vehicles, so as to make spaceflight more commonplace.
One would assume (a dangerous pastime, I know) that they have measures in place already to regulate this... Community moderators? Checksum analyzers? Who knows? I think there'd be a way to stop it...
They aren't creating or removing itemry or gold or characters: They're facilitating the migration of said gold, items, or characters from one character/account to another, then handling the money transaction and taking a nice little cut while they do it... That's all it is. You get a guarantee from the people that maintain the databases that you WILL get your phat lewt that you just paid 50 bucks for.
Are they hoping that everyone who wants to buy & sell for RL cash are going to just uproot themselves and start fresh on the new servers?
In the article which I saw first on the WoW forums before I saw it here, it also states that when the system goes live, you can migrate your characters to the special Station Online servers, meaning that only people who want to buy and sell via SOE's system will be there. If you want to take a gamble with IGE or eBay, or not buy/sell at all, then you'll remain right where you're at.
If you'll notice, most of the PvP mounts are far different from their normal Level 40 counterparts: For example, the PvP Mechanostrider has headlights for eyes, where the normal one doesn't, and most of the animal mounts have battle armor that the normal mounts are lacking. They are far from "black pallate swaps of the current mounts", as you claim them to be.

The fact that the oil can be captured and reused, as well as the membrane itself being reusable.
While it's true that IE's security isn't much better, they do have a point.
Apple just needs to turn the tables and tell people to shun IE and use Firefox/Opera/what have you, is all.

See, you're a perfect example of the 'air rage' they're trying to stamp out. How dare you be angry about flying coach.
Might be careful with that; I think 3 ounces is more than the allowed amount of liquids on a airline nowadays.
If you're not happy with the content of the current stream, inject a RST in there instead of just making noise about it.

While the non-premium version is a downgrade, hardware-wise, from the current XBox?
Doesn't this strike anyone as a bit confusing and such? The current XBox has a hard drive in it, why wouldn't every XBox 360?
Sure, I can see the WebTV being a "premium version" perk, but a hard drive? Give me a break.

There will be if Blizzard finds that ganking and griefing are taken too far and are making an unplayable environment for people.
