If a poster on a forum posted information on where to find Barack Obama, and a death threat, would you expect the server that hosted that forum to be seized?
No. Don't shoot the messenger. Go after the person posting the threat not the vehicle used to publish it.
Um... airlines have low marginal costs? Where did you get that from?
What is the difference in cost to the airline of carrying N passengers on a particular flight and carrying N+1 passengers (assuming that N < the capacity of the aircraft)? That is the marginal cost to the airline.
1) You still need to use IPv4 if sites you need to use still don't support IPv6 or are unreachable from your network.
Actually the problem is the other way round. It should be possible to access an IPv4 service from your IPv6 network. What would not be possible would be for an IPv4 only host to access a serv(er|ice) on your IPv6 only network.
I was in Queensland a few weeks ago and it was wonderful except for the lack of daylight saving.
The sun was shining in my hotel window at 5am in the morning and by 6pm it was dark!!
In that case the timezone did not match the location. In the "correct" timezone, the sun is at its highest at noon. So there are equal periods of daylight before and after noon. So if it was light at 5am, then it should still have been light at 7pm.
They would be forced to change the name in the UK (and possibly elsewhere) as Mccain is an established company selling potato products including frozen fries.
Though the 'access gratuit' sanisettes in Paris are only open from 06:00 to 22:00, and it is not (or was not when I was there a couple of months ago) uncommon to see them out of use.
Any provision of the constitution can be done away with by getting 51 Senators and the President to sign a treaty. Though surely if the treaty violates the constitution, the 51 senators and president are acting ultra vires and therefore doing so as private individuals not in their official capacity and thus the treaty would not be binding.
Maybe a better test would be to have someone who is not familiar with Windows to test it. That way they do not have to unlearn the windows way.
Probably the best usability test would be to take 2 groups of people, none of which have any computer experience, and give one group computers with (bare bones) Windows installed and the other with a Linux. Let them experiment for a week or so and then give them all the same test tasks and see which group manages the tasks more successfully.
It is not just email. A lot of web pages have a 'pay me by paypal' button. I am sure that it is possible for a dishonest web author to link to a phishing site instead of the real paypal.
At least under UK law, if the sender claims to retain ownership then the recipients have the option of requesting the sender to collect the goods (or for small items provide pre-paid postage for their return) and if they do not to levy a storage charge. If after the certain period of time the sender does not arrange the return, then the goods become the property of the recipient.
I believe the situation is that Creative licensed certain technologies from Dolby for use in Windows XP, but they haven't ponied up for the licenses for use in Windows Vista. Surely any sensible company would have licensed the technologies for use with the hardware product, ie the soundcard, rather than for any specific operating system. Companies such as creative make their money from selling hardware not from selling drivers. So is it not to their advantage (more cards sold) for the full capabilities of the hardware to be available on as many operating systems as possible? - especially when they are not paying for the development/adaptation of the driver for these other O/Ss.
It doesn't weaken their position. The BBC have always been very up front in saying that they are having difficulty allowing Linux users to download tv shows in the same way that they allow Windows users because only on Windows are they able to ensure that the video is not redistributed. And what they, and most other broadcasters forget, is that they have already broadcast the show in DRM free digital format. So anyone with a PVR which can transfer files to a computer, as the better ones can, is able to (illegally) redistribute it. So putting DRM on the 'download later' files is like bolting the stable door after the horse has bolted.
Cross platform game development did not used to be that difficult. In the days before the PC became the ubiquitous home computer, many games were released for multiple different computers (eg ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, BBC, Amiga, Commodore 64) at about the same time. Classics like Manic Miner, Jet Set Willy and Elite were available for almost every home computer.
Yes... and the competitors products were not good enough. During the windows 3.x era, OS/2 WARP was touted as 'a better windows than Windows' and this was largely true. Yet OS/2 had a very poor takeup (outside of vertical markets like banks) compared to MS Windows.
The first slide says that mismatched shoes and belt shows an inattention to detail. Surely they are not talking of IT geeks here, as the opposite is more likely to be true - that the IT geek is likely to pay too much attention to detail and not enough on the 'overall picture'.
Sec. 117 is why EULAs contain the standard "This is licensed, not sold" language. Because you are not the "owner of a copy" (but merely a licensee), you do not have the right to use it absent the license. For one thing it is too late to put that claim in the EULA. In the shop the purchaser will have purchased (ie a sale) a box containing various bits of paper and optical media containing the software. The claim that you are being sold a licence rather than a copy of the software needs to be made no later than the transaction in the store.
Also such a claim is ridiculous. If you go into an art shop and purchase a print (or other reproduction) of a painting, nobody would claim that you are not being sold the copy but only a 'licence to view the image'. Surely the same must apply to software on magnetic or optical media - in both cases you are being sold a copy of the copyrighted work 'fixed' on the physical media.
Not only does the EULA try to force you into a new contract, it is a contract with a third party. The contract of sale is between the retailer and purchaser but the EULA is not a contract with the retailer but with a software house. Unless it is claimed that for sales of software you are not buying the package from the retailer but that the retailer is acting purely as the software house's agent (and therefore the contract of sale is between the purchaser and software house)
All ISPs should offer encrypted/secured SMTP/TSL services (RFC3207) on port and it is very desirable that they offer, as Google does, an SMTPS
smtps 465/tcp # smtp protocol over TLS/SSL Why smtps rather than STARTTLS within the normal port 25? Also they should support (and insist that customers use) an MSA on port 587.
"the current thinking is that the malware authors gained access to the servers using stolen root passwords" Could this be what one of the (all too common) SSH probes does if it actually manages to connect?
Slashdot Mirror
Could the MCPs not have insured against the risk of the (end-user) customer stopping paying while they themselves still have to pay Microsoft?
But with a DSLR and telephoto lens, the sound would have to be very loud for the subject to hear it.

For reviews in the USA, does this not go against the spirit of the first amendment (freedom of the press) even if not the letter of it?
I wonder how much was collected in the female restrooms, especially if the drums were on open view and not in the stalls.
I notice that neither of their demos work when presented with an IPv6 address.

She should have made the site password protected and given the username/password to those people she wanted to access it.
