This brings up a point, why should Sourcefire sacrifice its profits/capital gain for National security?
Why should anyone or any company be exempt from sacrifice during times of war? Those profits are counted in US dollars, US dollars our soldiers are giving their lives to protect. They should be grateful for the chance this great country gives them to earn one thin dime.
It is YOUR responsibility has an adult to view what you want to and if you come across something offensive how hard is it to hit your 'back button' on your browser?
And it's YOUR job to convince people that your position is the right one. But telling people it's THEIR job, and THEIR burden doesn't win you many listeners. The point is, there is no point telling people to take responsibility when they don't want to. Trying to turn it into a duty for them to do so makes it even less palatable.
Please people start thinking for yourselves, and be not afraid of public opinion or the governments opinion.
We were using battery-backed RAM-based disk drives for database indexes 10 years ago. The news here is that flash RAM is finally catching up in terms of cost and performance, not that memory-based disks speed up database performance. That is old news.
EVE servers are using DRAM-based storage, not flash-based. They specifically mentioned the product they are using, too, when crowing about the recent upgrade: http://www.superssd.com/products/ramsan-400/
Well to start with, dnscache supports simple ACLs for recursion requests. You can have a publically accessible DNS cache for your organization, which won't resurse for the whole world. Better to use a VPN, though, but not everyone can do that. So if you gotta do it, dnscache is a good choice.
The authoritative server tinydns does not cache at all, and so it is useless for this attack.
"The last thing you want to do for a shared use computer is have it be something without a disk... and with a tiny little screen," Gates.
Thin client:
Earlier this year, Google founder Larry Page said his company is backing MIT's project. He showed a model of the machine that does use a crank as one source of power.
"The laptops... will be able to do most everything except store huge amounts of data," according to the project's Web site.
Only this round, it's Larry Page instead of Larry Ellison. But the song and dance from both sides are the same. Microsoft wants to sell OS and software for Intel fat clients, and Oracle/Google want to sell hosted services for thin clients, so they can hold all the data. Fat vs Thin clients.
So because you don't bother to read the rules, that exempts you from following the rules?
I have to scroll and click to use the product I paid for, regardless of what is says and whether I agree to it. My only other recourse is to not use the product and not get my money back. What happened to the rule of not attaching terms after the sale? That's illegal everywhere else. They don't follow the rules, why should I? Woudl you be OK with your car lease company sending you a revised lease agreement two years into the lease stating that you may not install 3rd party CD players in it, under penalty of losing the car? No one would accept that from a car lease company, why should I accept it from software vendors?
Just like how a health club has rules saying you can't take towels home or take photos in the locker room.
An online game isn't a health club, and you can't take any towels home or take photos of other patrons. Besides, the health club offered a signed contract which was presented to me with all the rules laid out before I signed it indicating my agreement and paid them any money. They can't alter the rules before the contract expires without giving me some consideration. When you have established the legal precedent that clicking on the buttons necessary to use the service I already paid for constitutes a contract, and that it also constitutes to consent to modification of contract after the sale, then maybe you have an argument. Until then, Blizzard enforces this only because no one has challenged it in a real court. But no one has, because it's just a fucking game.
No I don't agree to anything. I just scroll the bars press the buttons I have to in order to use the software and service I already paid for. I don't read the text, it is as immaterial to my having bought the game and paid for the service as anything an NPC says in a quest, and just as binding.
It has to be drawn somewhere, and to me this is where it makes the most sense: If you allow the keyboard to issue commands while you are not interacting with the hardware in anyway, you are botting.
I have a better idea. If you do not physically move the bits from the memory to the game card yourself, with your bare hands, you are botting. In fact, if you fail to transmit your next ganme move via smoke signals from a fire you started with flint, you are botting. The game is all about interactivity, you see.
Blizzard has most likely monitored his account over some period of time and seen, "hey, this guy is doing identical actions all over".
If they monitored anybody's account, they would see the same thing. You cannot advance in the game without repeating the same actions over and over again.
All this does is give a headsup to the botters that they have to throw a little random action in now and then, a delay here, a pause there, and the botters will keep going undetected. But a real player logged on and activating his character with his fingers on the keyboard gets the boot because he wasn't random enough.
ProgressQuest had it all completely right. Best MMOROG ever.
Well if the meaning is construed as loosely as that, then it's easy to conclude that the Jewish and Christian worlds have been far, far more prolific inventors in the past millenium than the Islamic world.
And it's also a crock. What the hell does that mean, anyway? "Islamic invention" and "Christian invention" mean nothing. It demeans the creators of those inventions to propose that the superstitious traditions of their culture should get the credit for their genious.
So how about that Christian nuclear energy, or that Jewish cryptography? Pretty snazzy stuff the people of the Book produced, eh?
What is it about Islam that inspired these inventions, assuming they are all "Islamic" inventions.
Is the nuclear bomb a Christian invention? The automobile? What gives? Why call something "Islamic" if Islam had nothing to do with it. You might call these inventions non-provacative to Islam, or compatible with Islam, but that's about it. They were not invented because of Islam, they were likely invented despite Islam, just like all the Western advances were achieved while dragging the Catholic and Protestant Christian churches kicking and screaming into the future.
If an AOL user has you in their whitelist, you bypass all spam filters. No fees, no forms to fill out, no feedback loop to maintain, nothing. So all these charities just need to tell their users to put them in their whitelist before signing up for mailing lists or whatever. Lots of sites do this already, because they are aware of spam filters.
Consider the four to six hours of re-playable entertainment you will receive with the expansion (sorry, episode) for $20.
Yeah, but I have to do all the work entertaining myself with a game. With a DVD I just sit back and let all the sweet, creamy entertainment goodness flow into me. DVDs should cost more because they DO more.
All our lives, we listen to music, even live music, coming from a single source.
I don't know about anyone else that is part of this "we" you speak of, but I do not live in an anechoic chamber. I hear sounds and echoes coming at me from all directions. It is the only-two-points stereo that is artificial and distorted.

Not only do you pay through the nose for a game that you don't even get to own, but they throw ads at you inside the game as well?
Glad I didn't buy HL2. I was going to wait for it to reach the $10 bargain bin and check it out, but now I think I will pass on that too. If my presence in the game makes them money, they can go fuck themselves if they think I am going to pay a dime for that "experience." HL2 should be a free download if they're advertising in the game.
Nowhere in the article, nor on Saitek's website, is there any indication that this speaker set uses the Bluetooth wireless protocol. In the article there is the parenthetical quip "think bluetooth" that is used when describing how it connects to the PC, but the device is not a Bluetooth audio client, and Saitek makes no such claim anywhere on the product website.
Parallel parking? No problem, just step into the parking space and transform back into a car. Or if the space is tight, leave it in biped form, or use the motorcyle space.
Long line to get into the parking garage? Just tranform into a biped and climb up the side of the parking structure to the empty levels and park. Although that's only possible if the parking is free, like everywhere but L.A. But that would be great for weekends at Vegas.
If your employer has a rideshare/transit reimbursement program, I wonder if taking this to work in biped form would count as walking?

He asked specific questions to his accuser and they were replied to by generic form letters.
Obviously Blizzard uses bots to detect bots and to handle customer service email.
EULA is now an enforcerable contract with a fanatical following on Slashdot. Who'd a thunk it?
I wonder if that will carry over to the next thread about the next change in Microsoft's license terms.
Has anyone ever established that an EULA is a valid contract in any state?
