Yes it should, but it won't be. Those same corporations own those politicians and courts lock stock and barrel. The only time we ever see any government action against a corporation is when it's one corporation verses another, biggest bastard take all. There is no realistic legal action that any individual can take against a corporation. The laws and legal processes make sure of that.
Then no one should be surprised when JFK's words once again prove prophetic:
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.
Some people will say, "well duh, that's why you add a salt before you hash!" But where do you propose to store the salt? That's right, in the database. The one that the attackers may eventually have access to. It might cost them some time, and possibly some money, but it wouldn't be at all impossible to rent some time on EC2 or a botnet to effectively create their own specialized rainbow table for the job.
While this is true, you are effectively forcing the attacker to create a rainbow table for every possible salt value. Assuming that the salt value is different for each password (otherwise why store it in the database), you have forced the attacker back into using brute force.
Do they "ask" about pre-installing crapware when you first buy the phone? This was an ota firmware update, and they changed some of the pre-loaded apps. I'm much happier about the carriers providing ota updates and working on a solution to let end users "remove" pre-loaded junk from their phones.
Don't worry. Now that they are owned by AT&T you can look forward to ota updates
bricking your phone instead!
They certainly could sue. The argument is that, if you want to sell the product in the US, then you can't sell it without paying for a license outside the US. Otherwise, withdraw it from the US and only sell it elsewhere.
What HTC (and other manufacturers) should do is abandon the US until it removes its head from its arse and let it become just another third world country.
Other than that, this sounds like something I look forward to reading, after I copy and paste each chapter into a Word Document and convert it myself. : )
Please do us all a favor and put the chapters in the correct order when you do. The chapter on Continuous Integration, listed as Chapter 9, is actually Chapter 6 for example.
There is no way the studios will allow any of their precious precious movies to run on a device without them being absolutely certain that they know where the data goes from the network connection to the screen and they can ensure nobody copies it.
You know, high tech devices like DVD players for example.
I am reminded of an incident back in the dot com era. Some sales VP got an email with a virus, my security system wouldn't let him open it. His solution was to bring his personal laptop in, hook it into the company network and open the email. The resulting virus explored the entire network exploiting NT security share flaws and zeroing out (not just erasing, but filling with nulls) every MS Office document and source code file it could find.
And your network gave an unknown machine access to anything at all on the network because?
Despite being employees of West Coast companies, your Cisco or Microsoft reps might be among the missing (possibly less likely with Apple). Afterward, you might be able to push for a Rapture Discount on new software and hardware.
Moreover, it is really easy to get a visa to live in another country with IT skills. He should just pick up and leave and send the judge a 'fuck you' postcard from France.
He will need to go at least that far to find someone who is willing to hire him after the dick move he pulled.
he jury (which included a CCIE) clearly knows more about the case than you or I,...
Don't be too sure. The jury only knows what the lawyers present and the judge allows. This is usually a small subset of the facts that are known about a case.
The issue is not the tax itself, but rather who has to pay the state. You, the purchaser will pay someone, be it your state (which you are supposed to be doing if your locale has a sales tax) or Amazon, who will pass this on to the state on your behalf.
No, the issue is the tax. States are not permitted to tax interstate commerce and most states know it. That is why they create some other tax such as a "use" tax. Coincidentally, that tax matches the state sales tax rate. The ones that lose out are local municipalities that impose a small but non-zero sales tax.
They are in first and third grade, and when the box of newly printed books arrived, they proudly tried to donate several copies to the school library. The school rejected them.
So why didn't you donate them to your local public library instead?
There was a study done...I don't remember the exact details...where people who had been told terrible things about a person were more likely to have a negative reaction toward that person, even after they'd been told later that they'd been lied to.
If the idea is to plug in a keyboard, then why does it have a male USB plug, and not a female ?
Actually the article says something slightly different.
You plug it into a HDMI socket and then connect a keyboard via the USB port giving you a fully functioning machine running a version of Linux.
The writer specifically distinguishes between the HDMI port, which is plugged in, and the USB port, which is connected.
In the picture it looks like the device is connected to some sort of powered hub. The keyboard is also connected to the same hub. This is also likely where the device gets its power. What I can't tell from the picture is whether that is a simple powered hub or something more complex.
I'll second that, with an extra helping of forget their training too. It has been my experience that anyone can SNAFU a network, but it takes a CCNA to really FUBAR it.
On a halfway serious note -- is her work something that could benefit from the simulations being re-written to take advantage of graphics cards, using NVIDIA's CUDA or whatever the ATI equivalent is?

Why didn't you just drive down there in your fucking expensive Ferrari, or were you too busy getting a blowjob from your supermodel girlfriend?
Jealous?

...or we may end up with a lot of halfassed clients.
Sort of like the RIAA's attorneys.
What is needed is a filter that blocks IR, but passes visible light.
Maybe that's why he said:
I guess I'll be submitting a patent for a phone case with an IR filter for the camera.

Stop being obtuse.
Yes, please do try to be at least a little bit acute.

Emphasis mine.
This. Hopefully the update is still available.

Which cable system has this "Bacon" channel of which you speak? I want to subscribe!
The good news is that it is probably available as a Comcast channel. The bad news is they just show Kevin Bacon reruns.
What's that in Klingon? (I doubt I'd be surprised to get a correct answer to that).
I can't believe google translate doesn't have Klingon as a target language. Turn in your geek card Google!
4) Useful utilities to make their own coding projects faster. I wrote a patch for VIM that did code folding the way I wanted it done, for example
Care to post it somewhere? I'm not that fond of how VI does code folding myself and would be interested in seeing an alternate approach.

That would be ATI's Stream Software Development Kit.
Yes, it is over in exactly the same sense that the Cold War was over .... when Lenin died.
