The advisory also warns networks to be on the lookout for attacks, and that anyone found to be aiding the SEA will be seen as terrorists actively aiding attacks against the U.S. websites.
i'm no friend of the SEA (or the sea) but if you read the actually advisory then you likely noticed that neither "terrorism" or "terrorist" is anywhere in the advisory. since he's written a flat out lie under the guise of fact, i think people should inform him of the error of his ways.
it's excellent that we are beginning to understand and build elementary biology and i want to see it go further because of all the good it can do. however, there's a "with great power comes great responsibility" aspect to all of this. we are getting ever closer to the point where this technology will be used to build the newest and deadliest weapon yet. a nuke can wipe out a large chunk of land with an explosion but a devious virus can kill an entire population with a cough.
you might be thinking this post is FUD but there is no uncertainty or doubt that when you invent a new technology, it will (foolishly) be used to make new and deadlier tools of war.
1) it's a small PC which is cool but there is something to be said for mechanical stability, which is why all those android sticks plug directly into an HDMI port. i'm not saying they should do that but they need to do something. 2) eSATA enclosures are costly (nearly the same price as the CuBox) so why not just have SATA port and offer larger cases that incorporate everything you need, like a power system so that you you can run this using your 2.5" or 3.5" drive? it would even solve the mechanical stability issue.
developers, take notice because these words ring true! while there may be some quibbles among people about details in this article, there are two things that have are universal truths.
auto-generated documentation is worse than useless: it lets maintainers fool themselves into thinking they have documentation. ... [crowd written] Wikis are an abomination. They are the worst form of “documentation”.
you have no idea how many times i've heard developers tell me to read the documentation only to find out it's just Doxygen generated with very sparse non-code text. it's a nightmare. "crowd" written wikis are terrible for code documentation, no question about it. however, privately written and maintained wikis can be a good editing tool for documentation.
if you want a good example of good documentation, check out the Qt documentation, it's has all the great things discussed, it's on the web, it's in a independent program and it has plugins that integrate it into IDEs.
it seems like a prudent move on behalf of the indian government considering the NSA has all but said they were spying on other governments. though there is the question of what system the indian government will switch to and if it gets hacked by other governments. realistically, they should be using encryption on 100% of their emails.
i think the real story here is that a large business actually realized the benefits of open source are greater than the ability to play the blame game by paying for vendor support.
Slashdot - and other news aggregation websites - should put warning labels on links that go to leaked classified information.
yes, that's it, let's have everyone go out of our way to help those poor souls like you that are helping perpetuate the problem. oh wait, here's a better idea, dont work for criminals or companies that help them.
it seems like this would be the perfect way for the NSA to get 3d models of your face for facial recognition and associating it to you is easy if pay for any skype services. from there they can pick you out of any video feeds they look at. this isnt paranoia, this is very possible. we already know they have full access to the system and this is just an incremental step..
i would like to import these and similar politicians that actually work to make things better for people rather than corporations to the US. even if everything else they do is horrible, i dont see how they could possibly fuck up the US more than our won politicians have.
I see and from what corner of the multiverse do you come from, where Red Hat aren't allowed to make money out of the Cloud?
i was commenting on the title being a pretense for the article being about open source when it's clearly just about business. the open source component to this article is merely coincidental.
Microsoft confirmed that although Windows 8.1 has reached RTM, subscribers to MSDN will not get the final code until the public does on Oct. 17, saying it was not finished
if the code isnt finished, it's beta software at best.
let's be clear, this isnt about open source at all. this is about businesses wanting a piece of the monetary pie. take your "it's about open source" pretense and shove it in your cloud.
I really liked the old game but got banned from the new account system for writing weapon switching scripts, ironic when UrT is itself a big ol' hack, alas the entire site is run by a single overlord with a very dogmatic view on hacking of any kind
well what you were doing is not considered hacking but rather cheating because it gave you an advantage over other players. UrT is actually not a hack, it's a fork of the original source code with lots of original content. a hack would be if you tweaked certain aspects of the game or had drop in replacement content.
are they actually planning to stop harvesting or are they just saying this to return to their previous state of denial? perhaps they devised a scheme to harvest organs covertly. if the bodies of the executed start(?) being cremated then it's plausible deniability.

we live in interesting times.
But the worst is going to be in "Votable" forums like the Slashdots and Reddits
i look forward to voting for Cmdr Taco's CardboardBox 7.
check out Cubieboard because it has lots of great features including a SATAII port but it doesnt have wireless. you can get the newest model for $60.

Back when I was 15, I dreamt of moving to America, the land of opportunity and individual freedoms.
the good news is that if you live in a certain lucky country, we will be coming to you!
on a serious note: i hope things get better... and that our politicians stop posting crotch shots.

If the road could talk to you, what would it say?
i'm guessing it would be something like, "OWW! OWW! GET OFF ME! IT HURTS!"
Did anyone expect anything less from this series of disasters?
i see what you mean but it's usually fire, tornados and godzilla coming through and wrecking the place.
So, what Intel are saying, is that they are going to take a SSD controller with unstable, buggy firmware
so... business as usual?
i think the real story here is that a large business actually realized the benefits of open source are greater than the ability to play the blame game by paying for vendor support.
then again, maybe grumpy cat is really in charge of IT.

sounds like Microsoft just got scroogled.

MICROSOFT, YOU ARE SELLING BETA SOFTWARE.
open source will always be the better choice in my book.
you must have blacked out the old days of GIMP. ;)
Vendors Push For Own Products In Market
let's be clear, this isnt about open source at all. this is about businesses wanting a piece of the monetary pie. take your "it's about open source" pretense and shove it in your cloud.
can we please stop using terminology like marketers? everything new and cool is suddenly a "killer app" which means nothing anymore.
so please, shove your big data up your cloud and paradigm shift your way out (better use your exit strategy).
mad? who me?
so... it has come to this.

quick google of the name and i found a github repo that's been up for years.
The officially supported ioquake3 engine by the Frozen Sand Development Team for the game Urban Terror 4.x
so what's the deal?
