Instead, punish the FBI, by punishing the FBI. Fire their asses.
Fire them? That should just be the start of it. Indictments, followed by a criminal trial, followed by a stint in prison if found guilty is what should happen to them. Will it? Probably not, but one can hope that there is still a shred of sanity left.
While Michael Geist states that they are and that the US is deliberately blocking exports
The response from the U.S. is important as well. It is delaying market access to sugar from the developing country until the copyright reforms are in place. Until that time, Costa Rican sugar producers will not be able to sell their product in the U.S.
a technollama article that Geist cited does not seem to have the same opinion. They were not able to confirm a connection between the issues and in fact found information to the contrary.
I was able to track down some more information about this other than the poorly-reference Tico Times article. La Nación reported that the problem was first highlighted by sugar cane exporters in Costa Rica earlier this week. The exporters complained that they have 11.880 metric tonnes of sugar in storage, which has already been sold to American importers, but that cannot be sent because of CAFTA restrictions. The American embassy is quoted in that same article as stating that this has nothing to do with CAFTA, and that it is simply a matter of the country having reached its allocated sugar export quotas. This seems like an accurate appraisal of the situations, as I was unable to find a single reference outside of the Tico Times stating that the United States had threatened Costa Rica at all. In fact, raw cane sugar quotas for 2010 were announced by the U.S. Trade Representative back in September 2009, and are "based on the countries' historical shipments to the United States".
Yet, until the final piece is approved, the United States is delaying market access to sugar. Costa Rican sugar producers will not be able to sell their product in the U.S. unless legislators approve the last part, known as the 14th amendment.
but as the technollama article indicates, no one else has said this and it could not be confirmed.
I remember reading that the MSNBOT reads the "Robots.txt" file, but cpantesters has a lowercase filename:
This is not likely to be the cause. In the article the author states that "It seems their bots completely ignore the rules specified in the robots.txt," and that "I know this because I can see the IP addresses in the logs. ", one would have to assume that cpantesters have reviewed their logs and that they would have noticed if robots.txt was not being returned.
How's it possible that, on Slashdot of all sites, *I*, of all people, need to tell you that IP packets do not necessarily come from the address inscribed in their headers?
Maybe it's because most people here know how TCP works?
It looks like this might be a broader issue than just DLink routers. Several comments on TFA seem to suggest that the HNAP remote management interface is a part of the SDK for the board used in these routers. This implies that any router based on this board might have this vulnerability. The DD-WRT hardware incompatibility list happens to have a list of routers that use UBICOM boards.
Some other UBICOM based devices listed in TFA's comments include:
HiveLogic did an article last year about the top 10 programming fonts. Inconsolata was number 1, but I believe all of the top 10 were monospaced fonts.
"If thats the incentive, are you surprised at the result?"
Am I surprised? Absolutely not. Any system results in the behaviour that it rewards. Having said that and realizing that the problem is systemic, I pose two questions:
If the university does not exist to teach students, then why does it exist?
If the university does exist to teach students, then who exists at the university to teach the students, if not the professors?
The original Popular Science article is a much better read and includes additional detail, including the fact that the projectile will experience 5,000G forces. Definitely not for human passengers.
There's an app for that called morse texter. It lets you enter morse code on your symbian phone for texting. You can get it
here.. It's the only way to fly now.
There's a simple explanation for why Tmobile's coverage fluctuates so much even when you are stationary. It's all about relativity. I don't think they actually have any towers, just mobile trucks that circle the city from time to time providing signal. Think about it. The signal is fluctuating around like you are driving through the city, only it's not you that's moving, it's the towers!
... in order to preserve the jobs of human text to speech convertors.
When I was at university, these were called professors. I kid you not. I had more than 1 professor who simply read to us from the textbook. They couldn't have taught a rock to just sit there, but they brought in the grant money, so they stayed.
isolate currently suffers from some bad security bugs! These are local root privilege escalation bugs. Thanks to the helpful person who reported them (email Chris if you want credit!). We're working to fix them ASAP, but until then, isolate is unsafe and you should uninstall it. Sorry!
This doesn't really sound like the solution most people looking for.
Hello everyone, I need a little help from the slashdot community. I am interested in reading some of this author's works, but they don't seem to be available for the Kindle yet. Please take a few moments out of your day to help me by clicking on the link on each of this author's books that indicates a desire to have the book available on the kindle. Here is a link to his author page on Amazon to get you started.
Thanks a lot for your assistance. I look forward to reading these books on my Kindle very soon now.
They say the problem is easily remedied by maintenance crews using brooms and occurs so infrequently -- once or twice a winter -- that it does not outweigh the benefits of energy efficiency.
Tell that to the surviving members of Lisa Richter's family.
What they should have done is hijacked the botnet using the fall back domains, and either run a self destruct if there is one, or uploaded a new "version" that effects an uninstall. Of course, that would make their business, selling security appliances, less necessary.
No, what they should have done was hijacked the botnet using the fallback domains and nuked the offending bots from orbit. It's the only way to be sure. Seriously. Distribute a payload that reformats the primary boot partition.

I hope you weren't dictating this post in a public place. It could definitely be taken the wrong way.
Apparently the fact that the account holder was also male was not the first thing to cross her mind. I thought we had gotten farther than this.

You could have stopped right there and been correct.

Isn't the term for that "apple fanboi"?

But does it run on Lin... Oh. never mind.

Maybe they should pay in superintendents then, or did you mean principles?
Tell that to the surviving members of Lisa Richter's family.
Seriously? Does every American expect that? Do any Americans expect that? Does anyone in the world expect that?
No, what they should have done was hijacked the botnet using the fallback domains and nuked the offending bots from orbit. It's the only way to be sure. Seriously. Distribute a payload that reformats the primary boot partition.
Really? Perhaps someone could enlighten me because I didn't see anything in common between the two articles.
