the most common method that spammers use is via open relays.
That's certainly true. Personally, I think corporations that continue to run open relay mail server should be fined. Especailly since you can just to ordb.org and see if you indeed are running on O.R.
But won't the bodies start to stack up fast? I mean, there are only so many hobos that one can kill for their stem cells. They could fit like 1000 embreyos in one Tupperware bowl. Now they will have to have an entire U-Haul truck rented to store all the hobo corpses.
I suspect that, when the search results were leaked, Mr. CTO's was on that list too. I bet he found it hard to explain why he was spending several hours each day searching for "hot barnyard action".
Apparently, 'certifed ethical hacker' is an actual cert one can get. But I don't think I would the term 'hacker' to appear anywhere on my resume. Unless I was trying to get a job with some black hat pseudo legal firm...that'd been sweet.
FTA: Shapiro's statement reflects a growing awareness among many technology advocates, and a long-held position at Ars Technica, that digital rights management schemes can be abused to create new revenue models at the expense of fair use, and the truth.
Can be abused? CAN BE!? This is a capitalist, corporate-driven nation. I think it would be more accurate to say that there is a "possibilty" that it "might not" be abused.
...except I am running Linux. No matter how hard I try, I can't get those dweebs at Linux Corp. to understand that I never paid for this copy. I keep calling them and asking for a invoice or bill or something. But I guess they don't have a record of my purchase. Go figure. Just lucky I suppose.
Mr. Moore sips a latte on his veranda on a brisk autumn morn. Some movement in his peripheral catches his attention. 'What the hell is that?' he wonders aloud. He tries to flick the small red dot from the front of his housecoat. Then with sudden horror, he realizes that that little dot is a projection. A laser projection. From a Microsoft sniper hidden in the shadows and fog. As he falls, dying, his last thoughts are of his recent dinner with Microsoft execs and what a naive fool he was to believe they loved him.
The assassin approaches the body and Mr. Moore. With a small shoulder radio he signals the job is complete.
"That's right. We got him. You shouldn't have to worry about Michael Moore any more" the assassin gloats.
"What?!" the voice on the line exclaims.
"I said I tagged that fat ass. He's dead. Let's see him make another inflamatory documentary now!"
"You killed MICHAEL Moore? Aw, crap...."
I would like the OEMs to go with a more minimalist view. I love the Thinkpad and its' bento box inspired design. Simple design is timeless. Of course, since Vista will be replaced by some Memphis/Longhorn hybrid in 3-5 years anyway the point is kind of moot.
seems more like a slightly upgraded Gamecube with a new controller
I guess that's like calling the DS an upgraded GBA with a second screen. And bluetooth, and dual games slots....
The Wii (I still hate that name BTW) will be the first console that is designed around getting the gamers off their collective arses. And it will allow users to download and play older N games. And, from what I understand, it will also come with 10 new iPods. Don't quote me on that last one though.....
How does this make FF 'horribly vulnerable'? The WMF flaw is, by definition, a Windows problem not a FF one. That's like saying your new alarm system is flawed because someone left the front door unlocked.
Mr. Anderson told me in an email... Mr. Anderson writes that as things move online.... I was thus a little surprised when Mr. Anderson told me that he didn't have any examples... Mr. Anderson told me the lack of an example of misses... By Mr. Anderson's calculation, 25% of Amazon's sales are from its tail...
It seems a little odd that these guys have such a vested financial interest in finding "something" every month. I'm sure it's just a method of weeding out the slackers who just want to sleep on all the flights and say 'everything was fine'. But couldn't they find a better way to check on these marshals? Like a secret shopper program or something? It works in retail.....
Lets face it, if the system can be abused it will be.
What your're describing isn't abuse, it's the American Insurance Industry. It's not really right, but it is legal. It's why I have to pay more for car isurance just because I don't always pay my Visa bll on time. Apparently, my low credit score equates to me being a 'less safe' driver.
"The next step is connecting the technology to databases that will tell cops whether a sexual offender has failed to register in the state or is loitering too close to a school, or whether a driver has an outstanding warrant. It could also snag you if you're uninsured, if your license expired last week or even if your library books are overdue."
...or if members of your church started going to the local mosque. Or if your employees started shopping at the competition. Or if a pastor spent a little too time consoling the local widows....
Isn't that kind of subjective? I mean, what's simple to one person, could be incredibly complex to someone else. And as a side thought, does this mean that simplicity is no where?
then get get pregnant, or a STD at age 16 and then guess what, their life is screwed.
It's not just their life that got screwed. hehe.
But seriously, teen pregnancy rates are much lower in countries (like England) that have a much more open view of human sexuality. If you have cable in England or Australia, you probably have a 24-hour porn channel thown in with your regular cable service. Billboards in Frace encouraging breast feeding of babies just show two enormous bare breasts with a tagline below.
My 12 yo daughter has caught my wife and I fooling around a few times. But she is in no hurry to have sex just because she witnessed it. She has been informed about it since she was 5 years old. There is no titillating curiosity. It's just where babies come from.
Everbody knows that easily 'humanized' animals (i.e. cute and furry, big eyes, or perceived intelligence) get complete protection. Whereas ugly animals can just suck it. That's why everybody freaked out when they found out dolphins were being killed in tuna nets. But nobody cared that 1000's more TUNA were being killed in tuna nets. I mean, have you ever seen a tuna? They are ug-leee.

That's only because Dish Network (aka Echostar) infringed on Tivo's patent.

I must have been absent in geek school the day they talked about friendsreunited.com. I had never even heard about it until I read the list.
My God! This man isn't a terrorist at all! He's a freedom fighter that's been surgically alter to look like a terrorist!

Yeah, AND you can totally Tokyo Drift race this thing. Because it's light. Word.

What? Anything we eat is food. I personally wouldn't call a chickens' ovulation cycle discharge food, but since it's eaten by millions daily, it is.
