Im still running my 2.2 Ghz Dual Core on a mobo i bought 6+ years ago . . i'll upgrade when that dies. Its perfectly fast enough for all my games and everything i need to do.
its really not that hard to write protective measures for, of all things, input validation. thats literally day 3 material in any intro web programming class these days.
And to be honest, I really, really think its 50/50
While in undergrad, I worked as a Dell Rep, so part of my job was to go into computer stores and see what the local competition offers in terms of deals.
I would more often than not (75% of the time) get a sales pitch covered in fairy dust claiming this Dell can do X,Y, and Z when I already know it cannot.
I would also get pitches (maybe 75% of the time as well) claiming that a Dell running Vista needs certain specs for whichever type of user I represented that day which fell into the gray area of lying/ignorance.
The point I am getting at is this only happened at BestBuy, not Circuit City, or Media Play, or any other store. They just presented the facts and from the pitches I heard, it was pretty obvious that they were coached to sell X amount of RAM for normal users, X++ for gamers, etc. These grouping categories were universal and similar everywhere EXCEPT at BestBuy, which is why I have a problem with Bestbuy. It wouldnt be inconceivable that BestBuy hires imbeciles for their computer department, but these imbeciles are being coached based on shady guidelines. And the really bad part was usually BestBuy offered the best price, so they really didnt need to BS the customer.
Bestbuy has a constant track record of trying to confuse customers with computer terms so they will fold over and pay.
Claiming the IP has to be synced is 100% BS because there is no NIC or USB port on the glasses, so saying the BestBuy computer experts (which i use loosely) were confused on the new technology is a cover up.
Isnt it amazing that the phone alone was their reason for switching?
I was with AT&T for 6+ years but for my first smart phone I gladly switched over to Sprint. Their unlimited everything plan defecates on anything Verizon/AT&T offers pricewise, and the blackberry isnt bad at all.
I would look into something different if I were you.
I just got done cleaning out my gf's computer that got infected with Conflicker. She had Avast 5 and it updated every.3 seconds along with MS updates, etc etc.
Influence the power brokers? Why? For funding? (rofl) A pat on the back? (eh, push at best) Turf war? No, theres plenty of 'turf' for the FBI/NSA/whatever other org you're thinking of to go around.
probably. after getting away with it for so many years, they probably felt invincible and got lazy . . which is something i could easily see myself doing.
Critically, one suspect also made direct connections from his own computer to try and reclaim control of his botnet after authorities took it down around Christmas. Investigators were able to identify him based on that traffic. They were able to back up their claims with records from domains he registered where he would eventually host malicious content.
I feel like some criminals are just stupid . . I mean really? You do all this stuff from your home computer? If I ever had to 'go rouge' I feel that I could last for years just off of common sense alone by using different public computers in a place with no cameras. Hell, I may even use repeatedly use someone elses computer just to further shed the blame.
There is a huge market for American comics state side . . the problem is for Manga/Anime is when it takes months for a comic that I can read online for free to be available for hard copy, which is what the article is trying to tackle.
As an avid manga reader, I'll admit that I would most likely read my stuff online for free, but I still buy a few movies if the series is really worth it to me.
If they want to cut down on 4 years in HS cost (which is silly in its own right) talk about condensing the curriculum into 3 years instead of just cutting that last year of much needed school out.
All he was stating is that they are bringing information already made public to a centralized location.
A proper analogy would be you were selling guns for $0.00 (but still required purchasers to do proper paperwork) and whatever they did with said guns is on them.

Nah, parent is correct.

Lol, look at the name of the guy you are arguing with . . . please dont feed the trolls!
I was 100% sure the $850 mil company was Myspace until I moused over . . . am I the only one??
Nominated for most insightful post of the year.

Checkmate.

Who told you about Area-52????

Win of all wins =)
I see what you did there . . . .
Where are his mod points??
You sure about that?
That makes zero sense.

Parent is modded funny, but hes right.
If it is the page's fault, then they should render wrong in FF/IE/etc, not just Opera.

sigh, back to my desk job . . . .

What the hell are you talking about?

And people do still purchase cartoons
Ooooh . . . too soon? (i would of modded this funny though!)
Exactly what I was going to post.

There is a severe fallacy in your analogy.

Did you mean to post that as AC? Or do you really think gravity is a theory?
CounterStrike was the first thing that came to me when I saw the title :/ (is this bad?)
Best. First Post. Ever.
Aye, but while this is true, Apple is seeming to take the stance that the more orifices it makes you bleed from, the better.
