I've ditched my satellite television plan in favor of a Roku player and a Popcorn Hour Box. The Roku is for Netflix's Instant Watch ($8.99) and Hulu Plus ($7.99). The PHB is for watching offline stuff, like ripped DVDs, streamed off of my PC in the other room. I considered going the media PC route but I have very little space available in my living room and I cannot stand fan noise. Both the Roku and the PHB are fanless and low power.
I've been more than satisfied with the content available and you can't beat the price. The major downside for me is that when my girlfriend is watching television I can't play ping-sensitive online games, despite using IP ToS tagging and traffic shaping tools to prioritize my game packets.
The article didn't mention any actual vulnerability detection. The price per infection at least quadruples when you consider that the web site would have a very difficult time determining in what ways each client was vulnerable and then providing the proper payload. The quoted price per infection was for advertising only. Since AdWords uses the logevity of your web site to rank your ads on their results pages, you would need to host this on a paid-for web host/connection because a hacked account is very temporary.
One explanation is that those clicks are by security researchers, probably running a virtual machine to test the link.

"I can't help but think that you're missing the point of an encyclopedia. An encyclopedia is expressly made for non-experts so that they can get a general idea of what a subject is all about. It's a tertiary source--digested primary and secondary sources served up in a non-threatening, approachable manner."
Right on.
Throughout my primary education I had to write a handful of term papers. They were about South Africa (3rd grade), John Adams (5th grade), the anatomy of a cell (6th grade), and Vlad the Impaler (7th grade). I used an encyclopedia as my primary research material for all of these. If had to use those Wikipedia entries (I think I used Britannica), I'd have likely been mired in confusion and missed the deadlines.

It was slander. The principal should have immediately called the police and asked them to contact MySpace. MySpace will release information about the person who created the profile as part of a police investigation.
Then go check it out. The difference between the FF 3.0 offline application support and web page caching is that FF simply provides a storage model. The applications are responsible for ensuring that they have the information that they need. And, btw, the browsers _can_ get offline browsing right, but you are in very small minority of people who want it. You could always fix that yourself in FF or Konqueror.
Actually this is exactly why agencies should _not_ share information. Aside from obvious jurisdiction limits and the group-think problems (e.g. "every intelligence service believed the Niger story"), there is an undue burden on the larger, more capable organizations (i.e. NYPD, LAPD) to do the work of the smaller organizations. The fact that different divisions of the FBI could not share certain information, and especially that the FBI and CIA could not share certain information, was by design. It was written law, designed, debated over, and voted on by legislators. It was not some side effect of legislators operating willy-nilly as the Bush administration implies and the naive half of the Congress seems to believe.
I would also consider their pro-active response to the bot/spam problem (let's face it, they are one in the same) in my purchasing decision. However, I'd much rather see them just rate limit that customer down to ~32 kbs because many, many people would never notice the difference between that and their spam-saturated 128-384 kbs uplink (I'm assuming DSL or cable here), but the botnet operators would find that useless.
"remote" in this case only means "not local." It does not, in any way, mean "far away," as the attacker has to be able to inject fragmented IPv6 packets, which is extremely hard to control (impossible?) from the other side of a layer 3 device.
I don't think the results of that comparison are so clear. Where the 360 does better, it is significantly so but not really a deal breaker. Where the PS3 does better is much more in-your-face stuff that makes the 360 look childish. Examples:
* The rear view mirror and the street light in the last Need for Speed picture. Where are you looking? I hope you are looking at the rear view mirror or traffic signals while diving instead of the buildings. So... bad drivers should buy the 360 and good drivers should buy the PS3? *grin* * The last two Madden pictures. The visor is disgusting in the 360 shots. The scoreboard looks considerably better in the PS3 shots. Who cares if his jersey is clearer on the edge of the frame on the 360? The jersey numbers look clearer in the PS3 shots when it matters; during and just before the play. * In NBA 2K7 the PS3 looks too blurred but the 360 has too many jagged edges. Both ugly but I think the blurring in the PS3 adds a nice touch to the moving players.
Check out this quote from Time magazine's 10 Questions for Michael Dell, from January 11th:
Would you take over the day-to-day reins of the company again?
I'd have to give them up first. I haven't stopped being involved with the company all the time.
But taking over as CEO?
No. [CEO Kevin Rollins] and I run the company together. I haven't changed that, and I'm not going to change that.
For the past year or two I've half-jokingly told people that I think that Linux has as much as 35% marketshare when you discount people who use nothing but a web browser (since in this case the OS doesn't really matter, so the user doesn't have to make a choice). I'm curious what the real number is. Does anyone here know how to find out?
Linus et al focus on the high end largely because the kernel improvements have a very limited impact on the quality, maturity, etc of a desktop system and the kernel work for the high end usually benefits the desktop (e.g. udev, hotplug, etc re: flash drives). The way desktops really grow up is through application integration and developing resource-sharing technologies (e.g. alsa, arts).
Listing facts without linking them coherently with motive and also tying it together with a possible timeline is akin to diagnosing yourself with a disease because Wikipedia lists nearly all of your symptoms even though dozens of other diseases, which you haven't read about on Wikipedia, also exhibit all of the same symptoms.

Even if you're running a single application, that application can benefit greatly from operating system processes running concurrently.
Wikipedia's Root nameserver entry says that 4 of the 13 root nameservers are run by private companies.

Fortune seems to have a penchant for covering this material poorly. This is the best coverage they've given thus far.

This search returns a cached link, but when I try to view the cached copy, it's mysteriously no longer there. Anyone know why Google might do this other than the obvious conspiracy theory?

m5hosting.com is great if you don't mind spending $105/mo. Good service, good connectivity, no discernible botnet traffic.
Why are you analyzing your code? What are you looking for? Performance optimizations? Security flaws? Bugs in general?

True. True. "Game Developer Complains About his Dev Platform" -- not news, not stuff that matters.

I've used joker.com since 1998 and I have never had any problems with them. They charge $12 per year, but the service is definitely worth it to me.

Actually that is a problem for OSS and Free Software, not Linux.
