Hijacking DNS resolution is way different thing than hijacking a site. This should have been made clear.
I just don't get the trend of nowadays about creating all those sensy-fancy super-dramatized fake titles, just to get the attention.
Being a little bit more exact and not making things up would be very appeciated from my side.
I wonder noone pointed it out before.
If you try to customize before buy it throws you "This section of the Website is compatible with only Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.x and higher. We are presently working on supporting other browsers. Sorry for this inconvenience. "
maybe time to rethink strategy when most of the skilled IT people are moving away from windows...

Well, it's not about my phone. It's about many phones which are mid-high level. They contain bugs, unstable software. As I said, is N90 shitty phone? nope, but software can be crap sometimes. Right now, I'm going for iphone because that gives me the highes freedom/price ratio. It runs unix kernel, I can ssh into the phone, i can install sw there - sounds ok.
Right, how comes I have new sony-ericcson and it keeps turning off anytime it wants. My friend experience the same problem, so it's not a bad luck. Another friend of mine bought pricey new nokia N90. And it crashes just similarly like my s-e. If they cannot provide stable softwar, they should let community try. Rather try and fail than not try at all.
I can't agree. I would like to have absolute control over what my mobile phone is doing. E.g. whether it is connecting to any bluetooth device or not. I would love to be able to log in to it over ssh to send sms to my friends. I would love to run nginx on it to be able to share my data with my friends over webdav even if there is no internet available. And many more things.
For me, I'ts good thing.
Btw.: have you ever seen an PC with ARM processor in it?
I don't know about others, but I would love to see new series of Young Indiana Jones which used to be aired in '92 and later.
Many people rates it very low, but for me it was very educating serie and was the only thing I used to watch in a TV when I was young.
I don't want to sound offensive, but if you knew the math behind computer go, you would understand that it's not like chess when it's worth to calculate possible moves of your opponent and consequently reply to them. In go it's enormously calculate the response for current move, so calculating your opponents move and then your reply is practically useless. Even that mogo do these calculations it is very improbable that their results are used often as it would have to play as pro to predict his/her moves.
I already claimed my doubts about the seriousness of the match.
The time the MyungWang spent thinking (7 minutes) compared to those of mogo (55 minutes) seem to say it all - it was not a serious match at all. It was just show off for the program. I don't know whether many people here know it, but pro players use to do this - lose with very small difference (1.5 in this match) to encourage the opponent and made him able to say "I defeated a pro".
7 minutes vs 55 minutes - decide yourself
I wonder most of people here are talking about encrypting and dual-boot linux environments.
But as I see it, once the officers find out that you are trying to hide something then the game is over.
There was one good post about rewriting beginning of file with some.avi movie or so and then use the real TrueCrypt volume (with offset).
This could be the most convenient technique of what was mentioned here, I think, but I would strongly recommend going through http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steganography and following some links, which will surely lead you to programs, which can "hide" your encrypted content much better.
Then you would need not to worry when they do 1:1 hdd image and try to analyze it...
so, rather hiding of encrypted content than only encrypting it
I would to point out that GIMP doesn't have cmyk support, so it's pure insanity to teach students program for graphics which has no use in real print world.
If I were you, I would stick with Photoshop 7 (or 6). Except few features (multi-layer selection, smart objects, healing tool) I do not miss anything in PS7 or 6. They are much faster and not bloated with things you will probably never use. Remember, newer is not always better. If you have seen movie Final Fantasy: Spirits Within, it was done using maya 1 beta through maya 2.5. http://www.lava.net/~shiro/Private/essay/gdc2002.html . And so far, I have seen only one movie which surpassed it in quality (another Final Fantasy movie). And today we have version 8.5 and it is not much mirrored in quality of CGI movies made... and that's 6 years from 2001 when FF:SW was made.
I do not know about other open-source software you mentioned(Komposer) but my guess would be that they are no match for commercial software (but if you mention Movie Maker, maybe they are:). Still, who would cut video in movie maker...
my last sentence: if people could live with old software, so can you...
that's funny, because opera has ad-blocking ability without need of any extension.

Well, back to 1997 - most of what deep blue was constructed to was searching in database! Until few last moves of all the games, the turns played by deep blue were all extracted from database. So it was more like Garry Kasparov against our DB of all played chess games. Of course, the games in database was only played to limited amount of moves, so the end-game became crucial. That how all the draws were made - Garry thought computer has calculated all the possibilites to the end, so he agreed with draw. The truth was, that computer wasn't that good in end-game as all people around thought. IBM commited this later...
Also, I would like to point out there is much more complicated game than chess, in which computers stand no chance againt human - Go.
Despite the fact that it is the oldest table game in the world, todays best sw can play its best at the level of beginner who played go for 2 months.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_(board_game)
It is believed that computers won't beat human in Go until nanocomputers become available.
Go is unsolvable in terms of mathematic equations, because what can seem as a bad move in the opening game, can end up as brilliant move in the endgame. And typical game in go lasts around 200 moves. There are more possible games of go in the world that there is atoms in the universe...
"A popular response is: ``If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear.`` [...] The truth is that we all do have something to hide, not because it's criminal or even shameful, but simply because it's private.''

In the point 2 they mention:
The practical benefits are extraordinary. In successful cases like Linux and Apache, the number of people who help out (whether they write code, or documentation, or test the system, or merely offer suggestions) can outnumber by far the manpower a conventional software house can muster. Open source tools and components such as the GNU C Compiler and the MySQL database have also benefited from a "thousand eyes," and these projects are in turn used as infrastructure for creating yet more free software.
but in point 8 it is postgresql:
8. What core technologies are you utilizing?
Database: Postgresql
The question is:
Which one do they really use PostgreSQL or MySQL?
I believe they USE PostgreSQL because in installation docuemtation postgresql is mentioned:
http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=installin g_postgresql
quoting you
If they had chosen MySQL, I'd be very worried and concerned as to whether it was a wise choice.
They hopefully did not. And made a wise decision.

Doesn't word hijack imply something else? More like hacked, took over, infiltrated? But use word like hijack for redirect is pretty ridiculous.
All owner rights start and end when vgremove command is introduced into the story.

I wonder if this is included in Total Cost of Ownership. i.e. I'm really interested in estimates how big loss this mistake generated to big companies.
the same situation here. some key binding preferences in settings would be fitting to some of us, certainly

hmm, there were more than 10 discoveries?
