There is also chance that something was dropped on the network drivers and often data can be deleted from those networks drives by domain connected computer (if that is being used, as I assume is the normal set-up in those environments). It is not only stupid, it is highly dangerous. It should never be done and as you say, this type of stunt should only done in VM, but I recommend only on VM using Linux or *BSD as host Os for added security (where it is possible to run the whole thing inside an choort for added security). It would also be more added security to have that computer on its own LAN (own gateway and so on) disconnected from every other computer in the house.
As for the VM, drop some extra viruses in it in zip files or something that might get the scammers to copy it to there own network and let it burn to the ground in the IT sense of the word. They at least are never going to call you back after that.
I have received this type of call, but I don't have zombie VM with Windows XP or a secure set-up at the moment. So I just hang up on them when they call me.
No cable company has started to use DVB-C2. I am not sure why that is. No television on the market support DVB-C2 at the moment. Many high end television support use of DVB-S and DVB-S2 today.
Only DVB-T and DVB-T2 are for over the air. DVB-C is for cable service. So Xbox One users in Europe are going to be able to use it with both over the air and cable service. In Europe using cable (DVB-C) is a common form of getting television and often it is part of the rent that people pay.
Anything that is a sphere and orbits a star is a planet. Asteroids don't have sphere shape. Same goes for comets. The reason for the name "dwarf planets" is that of naming issue. There are more than 100 planet object out there, most of them smaller than planet Mercury.
Haumea is a planet, but is minor elongated due it's rapid orbital period.
Then there is a chance of Earth size planets (both above and below in size and mass) in the outer region of our solar system that have not yet been discovered. At least there are clues about them today, even if they have so far not yet been found. It is my guess they are going to be found, given time and advances in technology that allows for better detection of outer orbital planets in our solar system.
So it appears that the new IT bubble (or internet bubble 2.0) is starting to show signs that it is about to burst. It always starts with companies like this one, since they normally run out of money first. This collapse is going to be interesting.
> Tell that to the many nations that are not part of EU.
Here are the nations that are not in the EU currently. Many of them are currently in the process of becoming EU members.
Russia (Are never going to apply for EU membership under current status.) Belarus (Are never going to apply for EU membership under current status.) Switzerland (EFTA. Submitted EU application in the year 1992. Has been frozen since that time.) Norway (EFTA/EEA) Iceland (EU candidate) (EFTA/EEA) Lichtenstein (EFTA/EEA) Macedonia (EU candidate country) Montenegro (EU candidate country) Serbia (Not yet EU candidate but has applied for membership) Bosnia and Herzegovina (Has not yet applied for EU membership but is expected to do so in the future) Kosovo (Has not yet applied for EU membership, when it might submit an application is unclear at this point in time) Moldova (Are going to submit application in the future. When is unclear. No time plans on application as is.) Ukraine (At this point in time it is too early to know when an application might be submitted. No time plan have been put forward for this move as is.) Turkey (EU candidate and have been since 1985.) Georgia (Have shown interest for EU membership, but not put out plans for EU application.) Armenia (? I am also not sure if they meet EU legal requirement for EU membership or application as is.) Azerbaijan (? I am also not sure if they meet EU legal requirement for EU membership or application as is.)
Micro states in Europe have not yet applied to EU and remain outside EFTA/EEA. They are however many in close cooperation with EU and many of them use the Euro as currency and have other deals that give them access to the internal market on the same level as EU member but without representatives and voting rights.
Ukraine is not a member of NATO by there own chose (that is why Russia did what it did). But for the countries that are members of NATO are now seeing military build-up due to actions of Russia.
As for states. I am using the same definition as is being used when it comes to U.S states. All of the states in question have some self-rule when it comes it there own internal affairs. All of them have there own parliaments to set local laws (far as I know). Germany has two parliaments, one on federal level and one of state level. This works for most part in the same way as it does in the U.S, there are differences between counties since not all countries have the same system. But the principal is the same in this case.
Russia is being hit by sanctions and its conflict in Ukraine. That is also the reason why Russia has been making stronger ties with China in past few months. They are going to continue to do so.
> The result is it can't adequately respond to challenges (ie: Crimea, the PIIGS debt crisis), but everyone still hates it for cramping their style
They did respond with sanctions and they hurt Russia badly. The effects take a little while to appear. Ukraine is not a EU member state and that is the only reason for Russia invasion into Ukraine.
> In the long term it's probably much better for Europe if Europeans decide to go the route we Americans did, and create a truly Federal state with it's own Army.
Countries in Europe and EU member are not interested in such move. Never have been and I don't expect that to change. There are also far more states in Europe then you think. Germany is made out of 16 states (U.S model type of federation), UK is made out of 4 or 5 (+ dependences and so on) states. There are in total of 50 states in Europe as it is today. Not all of them are EU members. This is according to Wikipedia.
Europe got NATO for defence.
Germany is made up of 16 Länder (states). Switzerland is made up of 26 cantons (states).
There are 85 states in Russia alone and many of them are in Europe (geographically speaking). I am not counting Crimea, since Russia illegally annexed it into Russia. For me it is still part of Ukraine, it is just being military occupied by Russia in illegal manners against international law.
You clearly do not understand what EU is about. As a policy GM crops fall under Common Agriculture Policy as it is set by the EU member states ministers (along with EU parliament).
The whole thing about GM crops is ridiculous, since all food is in fact GM crop. It has all been modified genetically with selective breeding over a long period of time.
The anti-EU crowd in Europe does not know or have interest in reading history of how Europe was before the invention of EU and its predecessors. All they want is a Europe that doesn't work and would be powerless in today globalized world. Isolated nations in Europe is not good and never has been. EU is the only way, while it is far from perfect it is the only way that seems to work and is going to continue to work.
I am not a citizen of the U.S. Never have been and I don't plan to be one at any time in the future. What you don't realize is that Russia most likely are paying Snowden for his trouble. There is no such thing as free meal in the spy world. That rule clearly applies in this case.
Russia did go into great length into housing Snowden. They do want there investment returned in some form.
He is a "useful idiot" with a lot of information in his pocket. When they are finished with him, he is either going to be returned to the U.S or he is just going to "disappear" into the abyss.
I am sure this is going to create an zombie apocalypse due to some mysterious and unexpected side effects. I better get ready to build energy based weapons so that I can survive whatever is left once nature has taken its cut (vultures, dogs, cats and so on).
Google is the king of the new IT bubble. Last time there was an IT bubble Yahoo! was that same king. Guess what is going to happen, one day the bubble is going to explode and then implode and Google is not going to be king (monopoly) any more. There are many good reasons not to apply for an job at Google. But people have to find those reasons for them self.
In Europe (this applies only to the 28 EU members and also EEA/EFTA members [including Switzerland]) member states this is against EU laws on consumer protection. I don't know if this is the case in the U.S since I don't understand the U.S legal system as it today.
> D) Greece has been reduced to a third-world country because of EU's, ECB's and IMF's decisions. Even free vaccines have been cut. Spain, Portugal and Ireland are sharing a similar fate. Italy has also experienced a huge recession because of EU's policies.
Greece did this to them self. I also want to point out that health care related matters are not subject to EU rules or laws. Expect when it comes to travellers and tourists getting health care if they need to via the EU blue health card. As for Spain, Portugal and Ireland. They are all recovering. If you want to know why this happens you have to ask your bank (if it is an big international bank, but ask anyway if its your local bank. He may have taken part in this too).

This translates to friends of Putin. There is no reason to believable anything they say. Being a corrupt and all.
While that is true to some extent. It is also the amount of IPv6 addresses out there. I doubt Turkey or anyone for that matter can block all of the IPv6 address all the time. The block file would be huge if it was to be done. I am also not sure if current censorship software supports IPv6 blocking. It might do so already, but I don't keep up with those things.
Twitter can get its own/32 range. That is a lot of IPv6 addresses to have. Even if you just use one/64 block at the time. Maybe we need 512-bit IP address space (that way above massive IP address space) to prevent censorship for good.
The problems are in the basic sense two or three. I am not sure. One of the problem is that people creating the content are not getting paid. This applies mostly to writers and musicians. I am not sure the status of actors in this regards. One of the problem is also copyright grab of corporations this is done via exclusive agreements that remain valid for number of years sometimes decades. There are often also agreements that means (common in the music industry) that means the corporations them self own the copyright not the creator. This has also been taking place in book publishing. It's bad and I don't think it's getting any better in this regards. There is also no point in having copyright 90 years after authors death. Unless when you view it from the corporation preservative. Since corporations can and do last for hundreds of years this amount of time is no issue at all. As for my published material, it's all going to be publish domain sometimes at the start of next century if it's not grabbed by some corporation (I plan on doing my best to stop that from happening).
The there is the public. Today public want the free lunch. I don't have much problem with that if the supplier is willing as often is the case. Sometimes it's not. Piracy isn't a problem since it increases sales of DVD and blue-ray's. So I don't technically have a problem with it. People who don't intend to buy the music, show series or films are not going to start to do so just because they downloaded the material in the first place (it just gets watched and then deleted in most cases). As Netflix has shown this is also an service problem. People are willing to pay for entertainment if it's at low price and easy to access. What the Sons of Anarchy doesn't understand is the service issue. If his shows are getting pirated it's because they are not easy to find or access.
Here is an news about the end of the free launch. This applies to more then just internet companies, http://www.economist.com/node/...
I'm just starting my writing career and as such I have not sold many copies of my short story that I have published now.
The larger problem is not Google or Disney. It is the culture of free or close to free material that has been created in the past few years. The $0,99 books are good example of this. While people still have to pay for things in real life they have to get income. This applies to writers as it does to anyone else. People now have unrealistic expectation of what items cost when they are digital. It is not the cost of distribution that is the issue. It's the cost of living for the writer in question. This is also why many old time writers (and other types of artists) are having hard time adjusting to new times and the digital age.
The digital publishing is not without it's problem. It's only at certain price range that I can get 70% of the sale price. Where I sell my e-books if I go over 12,99€ (or local equal) I only get 45% (still better then the physical copy returns) of the price directly in my pocket and this out before I pay local taxes of that income. If I sell paper version of my book, the e-book has to be 20% cheaper then the paper copy. If I want to make a decent living from writing I have to sell a lot of copies. I might one day do so, but so far it has not happened.
Let's be clear on copyright. Today it's set-up to service the corporations. Not the actual content creators, regardless if that are writers, visual artist or music creators. That is why it's so long and that is why it's always getting extended. There is nothing complex about this issue and never has been. DMCA type laws are also good example of this. I am not sure if they help people like me, a lone writer with no lawyers or the financial resources to stop anything if an book gets torrented (in fact, that might actually help me I guess). Since DRM lock are no good since they get stripped away from the e-book. People who did not buy the e-book in the first place are also the people how are unlikely to do so at later stage.
At last. The shameless plug of my first published short story. It's DRM free.

There is a lot out there that we don't have no clue about and there are discoveries to be made (if the funding holds).
