Disagree. If you flood the market with fakes, and then arrest everyone who buys the fakes, you'll end up with fewer people willing or able to buy the real stuff.
Quite. All these people saying "the Muzzies are no threat because they were trying to buy missiles from an under cover agent" are missing the point. If the undercover agent wasn't there they would have tried somewhere else and maybe obtained them, or failing that used some improvised attack.
We all know these religious zealots hate pornography!
Sharia law allows them to rape non-Muslims, have sex with nine year olds, have "temporary" marriages that only last 10 minutes, be able to force their wives to have group sex with them etc. This makes porn pretty well redundant.
Its not surprising that Wozniak stuck to tech rather than going into management. He gives his honest opinion, saying what he believes to be true. There is no place for this sort of thing in the boardroom.
Written by someone who obviously doesn't understand how https works. Your site URL is validated against a server-side certificate. The protocol starts with an exchange of public keys, then uses session keys for the session. This makes a man in the middle attack impossible.
Yeah, who here doesn't understand things. I live in a country that has been serving fake certs and other trickery even when trying to login to fucking Slashdot using HTTPS. If you believe that there is no way around or no tricks to use against users you are being unbelievable naive and/or idiot. Hell, even Slashdot allows this because it has non-https components even if you browse with https.
Go back to your noob-box and get some clue.
Bullshit,
Certificates are international, and whenever certificate authorities have been compromised their issuing certificates have been revoked.
https is your friend. Seriously on any wifi network you should use https for anything secure.
MITM attacks on public wifi hotspots are mostly trivial. Yeah, keep believing that using HTTPS is securing anything.

If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place.
Or in this case, if you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be broadcasting it over the airwaves to the public at large.
Just a thought.
https is your friend. Seriously on any wifi network you should use https for anything secure.
You can't be that stupid. I live in a place that has wifi where you log in with password. It is encrypted, but after logged in you can still sniff everyone else on the network. It still doesn't make it right to do so.
Likewise, your internet traffic goes unencrypted when it leaves your house. It doesn't make it right for me to plug in to that in between your house and ISP and capture that data.
Google and Marius Milner can go fuck themselves.
Nature is no longer selecting out "Walmart people" since we have averted most of the dangers they have faced in the past. In fact, we have even reached a point where people such as my sister (a typical Walmart patron) now survive and bring additional offspring into the world where she attempts to protected them from everything to an extremity.
Can you just imagine what the world would be like, if western governments such as USA and UK would engage in wars that mostly affect the civilian population and that UN would call illegal wars? Wars, that leave hundreds of thousands of civilians dead, wounded or homeless... Yes, I understand it's difficult to imagine even that but now imagine that the wars would have support from about half the population of those western countries...
I know that sounds disgusting and if something like that were to actually occur, I could see why immigrants from the affected countries would be somewhat hostile against those western countries and even consider the civilian population to be acceptable target. Nothing like that has happened, however, so that kind of attitude should be out of question!
That is pretty much irrelevant to whether or not we should defend against terrorism in the Olympics. No change in policy is likely to affect terrorists preparing for the Olympics. Actually in the UK the majority were against invading Iraq, but Blair went in anyway.
With reason. There are a lot of Muslims in Britain, 24% of whom think that the 7/7 London underground bombings were justified. With 2.8 million Muslims, that's 700,000 people who would think that attacks on the civillian infrastructure are justified. Even if only one in a thousand would be prepared to do something that is a real threat.
The issue isn't whether its paranoia, there is a real danger. The issue is does this add to the danger or contribute to safety.
My wife yelled stop a couple times like that at me.
Same here,
I assumed that there was some problem in the car, saw a layby and pulled in. It turned out she couldn't remember whether she had brought her wallet, looked in her bag, found she hadn't and then decided she could just let me pay. In other words there was no need to stop whatsoever! Then I knew that she is likely to see anything that might get between her and shopping is in her mind "an emergency".
This should be of no surprise to the followers of dharmic religions, when the buddhi (intellect) is active the paramatman (God within) is inactive. This is nicely illustrated by the iconography of Kali on the body of Shiva. Here Kali (representing Language and intellect) awakes and Shiva (the God-sense) sleeps.
s after the systems introduction. It also is based on the massive misconception that US banks are liable for fraudulent transactions. That is not the case. Typically in the case of fraudulent wires, US banks will simply reverse the transactions.
Do you really think that European banks don't reverse illegal transactions when they can? Surprise surprise, no bank anywhere will say "well you got that money fraudulently but you might as well keep it now". The issue is where people do multiple transfers to give themselves time to withdraw the money or purchase high-value resealable goods, so there is no money to refund. This is where bank's liability comes in.
But your insurance company will. Most insurance will only pay if there is evidence of theft, damage to the locks, etc. If there is no visible damage, then the loss is your fault for not securing the vehicle.
I am not sure about "evidence of theft", people have had cars opened by hacking remotes, or even being loaded onto a tow truck and claimed succesfully

Andy Grove paid billions to get access to Area 51 alien technology back in 1998. What's so hard to understand?
Ah its that chip from the android that came from the future. What could possibly go wrong.
Microsoft is a bigger, more evil giant than even Oracle.
I'm not entirely sure you've ever dealt with Oracle...
Oracle vs Google is like "do no good" vs "do no evil".
More like "do evil with pride" vs "do evil and hide".

This exhibition examines how the Star Wars characters are like us, what we may have in common, and what makes up our individual identities.
The prime example is CowboyNeal and Jabba the Hutt.

Hey, is that you Adolph
That laser can burn a hole through a gnats brain from an altitude of 30,000 feet.
This fact was demonstrated on one of the Pentagon's top generals.
... After which he ran as a Texas state Senator.
You seem to have "found" the wrong poll - the one in question is the one in question is referenced here: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/08/14/opinion/main1893879.shtml&date=2011-04-06 and here http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-399352/Almost-quarter-Muslims-believe-7-7-justified.html

So what's the /. UID of this thing?
Judging by the picture in the article, it is none other than Cowboy Neil himself.
You seem to have something against Muslims. Weird.
Since they are the ones who are plotting and making threats it would be more effective and just if they were the ones to suffer collateral damage.
"UK government uses civilian residents as human shields to protect their missile sites".
It'll make the terrorists think twice before blowing up those flats to eliminate the SAM batteries.
Or they could put them on top of Muslim tower blocks

I would have expected "Fuck, I wouldn't take that money-losing shit if you paid me".
Even mentioning that not all Hitler did was downright evil gets you labeled as a Nazi,
Curse the Volkswagen beetle!

How strange, I didn't notice - but copying and pasting again and the same thing happens!
Whilst the story in itself is deeply distressing, so are some of the comments from the Washington Post's article on it: http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/grandma-tsa-agents-forced-crying-4-year-old-to-undergo-tsa-pat-down-at-kan-airport-after-hug/2012/04/25/gIQAojLohT_allComments.html?ctab=all_&#comments One prime one being: "In this case, however, the child had completed screening but had contact with another member of her family who had not completed the screening process. This absolves the TSA entirely. I do not want ANYONE (muslim or christian or young or old) passing through a checkpoint after making contact with an unscreened passenger."
We know that Muslims use children as bombs so it is a legitimate worry
You could say "you idiot you deserve that".
