On the bright side, streaming media corporations can be a valuable ally against ISP bandwidth caps - which they should be if they want a viable business model.
They will quickly back pedal when they realize that credit card discount rates will be jacked up to 20% in France to counter the increase in liability that would come with such a move.
"Scavenging for copper" is a euphemism for exactly this. The only copper you find 'just lying around' is copper being used for power or data transmission.
I find plenty of coppers "just lying around" at my local doughnut shop.
"The cable is owned by the Georgian railway network who employs lazy contractors that bury lines just under the top soil. They commonly poach Comcast employees. It is poorly protected, but landslides or heavy rain may have exposed it to scavengers."
I would simply put both on a static content server, that shares both subdomain names, static.foo.com and static.bar.com. The locking of cross domain requests only happens for ajax calls to a root domain that's different from the originating request's root domain. So ajax calls between ajax.foo.com from www.foo.com/, should work (I think). They share the same root domain (foo.com).
+1 for the geocities use case! Winning!
I would agree that client side code is (relatively) accessible via the programmer (even if it is compressed); however trusting their server side execution of those includes is really where the trust factor comes into play. Most browsers will lock down cross domain requests. The real power is controlling what the server serves to the users that use that include.
For example, www.xyz.com decides to include a couple lines libraries from google.com, say, jquery, and analytics. By virtue of making the include, that third party site has the ability of pass messages back and forth via code generation (to bypass the cross domain issues) and manipulate the DOM of www.xyz.com in however it sees fit. Now, a security minded person wouldn't include a resource that's off-site, for this very reason. Good examples of this are bank sites like usaa.com. No where on that site will you see a third party domain resource, once you've signed to your account. Putting the resource files on www.xyz.com makes a lot of sense for versioning, but also securing the site from potential hacks of the third party (hacking that google's analytics includes or akamai servers is a juicy opportunity, but only if you could execute code server side).
When it comes to javascript, the best way to secure your site is to host your own resources, and DON'T use off site includes that are from untrusted sources. Even if the source is trusted, it doesn't mean your in the clear. Your best bet, is to always host your own site resources.
Most insightful! Go look at the top 100 on TPB, it rarely changes. Its all rap/hip hop. New content is trickled out now and other genres are decimated by the popularity of hip hop. And its arguable that the newest content is stifled, not by sharing, but by perpetual 'Black Eyed Peas' albums consuming to most shared spots. Music is a different monster, it has staying power. Its fairly uncommon to see movies rank in the top 100 for more than a couple weeks. There is a more natural turn over to movies than music. Music however, sticks around, sometimes years (before and) after its initial release.
I'm waiting for rock to be come popular again, then top 100 will be useful again. Until that time, I require very targeted search terms to get the music I like.
The author is completely and 100% incorrect in his conclusions. Yes, facebook and twitter have private areas, their purpose serves a need to sharing of information with some level of scope. If the author is so consumed by facebook privatizing information, he really should ask himself -- should it be private in the first place? Often times, the answer is YES. Yes, I would find it very reasonable for a person to want a blog, wall, etc., that is whitelisted for their own friends/family.
Companies that setup private facebook only ads, are only hurting themselves -- because they are privatizing information that should be publicly available. However, most businesses have all their content open and available to anyone, regardless of whether or not they are "logged in".
Moreover, the content of the internet is almost wholly bittorrent, streaming media, and the like. Back in the AOL days, internet traffic consisted mainly of email, IM, and images. We used to pay for pornography. Fast forward 20 years. Now we have peer to peer protocols, streaming video, private and public broadcasting venues for the individuals (free) and for corporations (paid) that constitute most internet traffic (with volumes of of free, indexed, edge cached, and categorized pr0n). Whole countries, where propaganda and information blockades used to reign supreme, we now have nations revolting because they are able to communicate globally. This is the exact opposite of what this article implies.
I would suggest to the author to go peddle his fear mongering elsewhere
J River Media Center is BY FAR, the best commercial tagging software available. It does have its limits around HTPC use (its theater view is lacking). However, your tagging environment is fully customizable. You can create views based on custom metadata if needed. Most programs, tagging is contained within a box, with J River, there is NO box.
It pairs nicely with XBMC for HTPC application. Tag in J River. Play in XBMC. (Get the android apps for both, you'll love it).
True. Long term nothing will happen. However, there is a prevailing reason why nothing will happen.
Several/.'ers have already posted that they felt closing their BOA checking account is the next move. Sure, the retail side of BOA will suffer, no doubt; but the mortgage side has a significant amount more momentum, and/or/urrr, consumer forgetfulness. Its not like you can just walk away from a 30 year mortgage. That combined with the general theme of people not refinancing and turning over homes as quickly as we once were, means that these home loans are going to be retained longer by the debtor on average.
Ultimately, BOA's stock will drop a couple points, but they'll bounce back with a viral Superbowl commercial --- everybody's happy. Bonuses all around!

Most already are. Re: Akamai.

Until I get an answer, I will just assume it stands for 'Successful Ulcers'
Storing passwords as hashes instead of plain text is now illegal in France,
... and only "save" the plain password in a "write only" file (text or separate database) with the unhashed passwords...
Your suggestion is almost as bad as the law they're suggesting. Most theft comes from employees, and not random some hacker.

White Stripes! Absolutely. You won't find them top 100 though :/ The downloading community is dominated by poor taste in music.
300,000,000 people can be wrong!
Host it on premise with security in mind, or suffer the consequences of third party outages/security/breaches. Plain and simple.
Australia needs to start buying its own servers and stop complaining.
There isn't much left to download.

How many people are running NT domain controllers on a Mac? Seriously... Naturally, my next sentiment is -- who cares.
