LOL. I only ever had bad service on my iphone when I was in some place like Yosemite and even then, I managed to get a few emails and tweets in and out.
They didn't attack the money-collecting parts of Visa and Mastercard.
They attacked the corporate sites. They didn't disrupt commerce.
- Seems they were letting them know they didn't appreciate what the financial companies did.
Zombie DOS Attacks Support WikiLeaks
There was more disruption than to the servers in H1. NewsBlaze.com is in another datacenter, but it seems both NS1 and NS2 are in the same place, in H1. So even though our webserver equipment wasn't involved, we were down too. Depending on DNS cache times, traffic slowly dropped off to just a trickle and then eventually nothing.
And it took them a long time to get that fixed, a lot longer than it should have. They never apeared to listen to what I told them when I called - and I tried hard to get the support staff to pass the message along. This is one of the problems with big companies - they don't listen to their customers at the times they most need to.
We couldn't have been the only ones in that situation. It would be interesting to know how many servers outside H1 were affected.
Thank you to the few slashdotters who visited the NewsBlaze story before the server became inaccessible. I'll be writing more about this.
The Planet Houston Data Center Goes Up in a Puff of Smoke
I think the judge's comment means they did it only to get money, not to protect something they were using, not that only big companies can make claims. Its ambiguous. And that ahouldn't have been patentable anyway, just like the Amazon one click.
Thanks, I'm not sure what caused that. I had to go to another office to fix it because my connection was breaking up today. All those errors were deleted characters.
It says - The research team combined images from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument aboard NASA's Aqua satellite and data from the Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS) on NASA's Ice Cloud and Land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) to unveil a multi-dimensional view.
Its not entirely consequences-free. if you remember, a few big spammers have had their lives jerked around, been stopped, fined and jailed. I know of someone who hacked into some corporate computers in the 90s, just for fun - he never did any damage. He got off on a bond, but it chewed up two years of his life, lost him his job and really screwed him up. There needs to be some deterrent otherwise people will do exactly as they please, without caring what it does to other people and with no fear it can hurt them. A DOS attack that cripples a business, puts people out of work or is used to extort money is not funny - except to jerks who have no responsibility. The problem with laws is they mostly keep honest people from doing something silly. The real badguys don't care.

Playstation 3 Review
Although there is a rather small library of games for the PS3 right now, you can expect some amazing games in the near future. Sony has the support of many game developers that have become famous over the years that will be putting out some high quality games.
The interesting thing is that previously, they didn't have enough data to show what was going on. Now they have data from the identical twin satellites.
Where do people get these crazy ideas?
Perhaps it is best he stays on dialup - best for us that is.
Or, as someone else said, turn off the PC and be completely safe.
Sheesh!
They are "warning" because the politicians never give them any money to clean it up, so now that its getting close to be a problem, they are warning the politicians they can't put it off for too much longer. They want more money!
I remember one year, a large piece of junk landed in Australia. Luckily, it didn't hit anyone. In 2001 after the Mir splashed down in the Pacific, Australia, New Zealand and Chile said they wanted some rules set up because their area was being used as a junkyard.
This satellite is being shifted in its orbit. They said it was to give better weather reporting. maybe they're moving it away from incoming junk. Satellite Orbit Shift To Improve South America Weather Forecasts Let's hope something doesn't hit it in transit.
Of course, this has to be done. Man is an adventurer. There will always be 1000 reasons to not do something. Nothing would get done otherwise. We wouldn't even be here having this conversation.
NASA Stardust Mission Capsule Brings Comet Dust to Earth
That little spacecraft was sent out on a 4.6 billion Km round-trip for 7 years, had a rendezvous with a comet, as planned - and it came back to earth and sent the payload exactly where they wanted it to. That alone is worth it. The main parachute opened perfectly after being packed up for 7 years. The money it cost is a drop in the ocean. The movement of the stock market can destroy that much in a few hours.
The research that made it do all that is all around us. The good that comes out of such things affects us in ways most of us don't realise.
I'm in awe of the minds that did all of this.
Hello Robert. My name is Alan, no reference to Tron
in my.cshrc, I have this: alias lh "ls -lt !* | head -15" alias lt "ls -lt !* | more" alias hog "ps -eo pcpu,vsz,args,time | sort -rn | head -11" alias ff "find . -name !* -print"
I use these and many more when I'm working on the newspaper. You can type these aliases on the commandline if you don't want to add them to your.cshrc and it will work for just that session.
So then I type lh in the CLI and it shows the newest 15 files - you can change that number to whatever you like.

The Chinese will get to it as they are cajoled into business deals. Its not easy to change from where you are to where you are going. There is a lot to be said for stability - but they can be pretty ruthless when they don't get their own way.
The world is evolving. Just because you've had freedom all your life, you can't make another country do what you want. All you can do is push and coax them along. They will get to it or their people will push them into it.
The whole world moves in cycles. There are lousy practices here in the US, where other countries are ahead. You don't hear them threatening to do dire things to americans because you are behind them.
Calm down a bit, you'll feel better.
Yes they are very good at doing that. They are one of the few companies with the resources and ability to get started and keep it going. Now they know the groundrules, they could turn it into a business.
