And shoot during a game whilst your trying to sit and be a sniper? I think not...
And I'd be pretty screwed if I was trying to shoot multiple enemy's quickly, I try and focus on where they are, not blink them away - I grew out of the "I can't see them so they can't see me" thing a long time ago;)
Unfortunately bandwidth isn't that cheap everywhere (Australia for example)... shoplifting is a fairly easy target (Yes I used to do it quite extensivly). The only thing you have to worry about is leaving fingerprints and a video. With the internet there is much much more as every node is different and you can't control them all...
Agreed, not very sane... I'm not that hardware oriented, but within a VM you can't directly access the hardware, which I believe is necessary for 3d applications.
Not sure if you wanted a reason or was just posting an idle piece of info. Either way...
Isn't there a rainbow table you can generate against a WPA network based on it's SSID or something to that effect?
I've cracked WPA-PSK in under 3 minutes, but I got lucky on the dictionary key and I had, of course, gotten even luckier when I caught the initial 4 packets (amazing what happens when you power cycle an entire house:D), so I don't think he's BS'ing. Don't believe there is a way around a proper WPA enterprise installation (client and server certificates for verification and a RADIUS server etc.) but I've not really been on top of wireless lately. Of course, if you weren't using certificates but were using RADIUS then I'm sure there's a brute force in there much like PPP. I know of at least one network that requires your domain logon to access it... perhaps a vector there? That's not strictly attacking WPA, that's attacking the implementation, but if it nets me a few billion in credit cards, who really cares for the details!
Fear is the key. I've stopped watching the news shows out here (a current affair, today tonight) because all the do is put out stories that lead to FUD (now there's an acronym I've missed).
Someone mentioned the great firewall of oz. This is probably not that hard to implement in terms of system... Australia has, what, three main lines out of the country? Pretty much everything routes out of Sydney or through QLD (believe there may be something in Perth as well?) so all they have to do is a few boxes there and go from that. Time to fire up Tor and find a "linksys" network I think...
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity eh...
This happens all too often, it's funny because it was Business 2.0, but would we all be laughing if it was the main Ubuntu repository (multi-site distributions are conveniently ignored for the purpose of this post)? Or [insert OS/code here]? I know I'd be pretty pissed if this happened to my kit.
Let this be a lesson to you all... the laws of the universe DO hold true... and every man or woman can be struck down and proven wrong.
So they basically want a Google-y employee or, put another way, someone with the right fit factor. Does this mean that a highly qualified person, skilled and high standing in the community, but prefers to be quiet, in the dark and working alone won't make it?
I ask because my own company puts so much store in the "fit factor" that they end up hiring people with less skills than the other candidates.
Do I want to work at google? Well now, that's between me and HR;)
So for the geekier side of the community we'll get a penis pump to do the same job?;) Probably generate more power... whole new reason for porn on the internet "YOU CAN'T STOP ME MUM I'M POWERING THE INTERNET"
Yeah ok, bad joke, it's been a long day...
I was thinking these people could afford $100. Now its $175, I think, gentlemen and (gentlemen dressed as) ladies that we have found our proverbial 3rd step:
1. Create Idea for $100 laptop 2. Market Laptop 3. Raise Price by 75% 4. Profit.
No more 3. ??? jokes are necessary, repricing is the key!
It seems to be a common thing on the internet to be provided with a free service (yes some of us click on the ads, some of us don't) and then bitch and moan when something goes wrong. WTF. It's free! Sure Google has some of the best minds and biggest hardware, whoopdy-doo, they provide a great searching service (which, incidentally, is their primary goal is it not) and throw in some bonuses with their mail and customisation. They're not perfect, hell, they probably had some green intern in who moved the backup tapes the wrong way...
This stuff happens. If your going to bitch about losing a free service to some form of error, go pay for it and stop dumping crap about it on the front page of slashdot.
The wires don't vanish into the ether, they are the wires. That's why we call it ETHERnet! Now, if you don't mind, I need to extend mine so I can store more data on it...
At the risk of whipping a dead horse (namely coz we both have our own opinions;) and not having any statistics on me at the current time, transactions are (I believe) more overhead than the OUTPUT INTO statement. And there is more than just that keeping me on SQL Server (row_number() for example). MySQL is great, and its good to see supporters of it (I'm one of them!) but its not about the (Open Source) tool for me or my company, it's about using the right tool for the job, and SQL Server is the right tool for some of our jobs, as MySQL is for others.
I recall the name of the SQL management tools I mentioned in a previous post. SQL Server Management Studio for MySQL, it's put out by a company called EMS.
You can, but the problem occurs when you copy all the data then only delete half of it due to a power outage/system failure or some realignment of the moons of Jupiter. In this case the clause is there to do two things: Clean up your SQL code (one transaction instead of two) and to ensure integrity of your data deletion. There are other standards I look for, but this was a good example.
Whilst the link escapes me there is a set of admin tools for MySQL that are almost identical to the 2k5 ones for MSSQL. Truth be told it doesn't look as flash, but they are still really nice to use. The one installed on my laptop (hence not being able to remember the name) allows for highlight execution of part of script a-la the SQL Studio and cut and pastes fine, I'm sure there is more than one tool out there that can do this!
I use both MS SQL and MySQL in corporate environments for various purposes and have to say that I like both for different reasons. MySQL is "damned good" in its own right, but there are some ANSI features available in MSSQL I really have trouble living without (for example: DELETE FROM tblData WHERE fldValue = '3' OUTPUT INTO tblBackup). My thought would be to see what Google have to offer, if it helps me, then great, if it doesn't, it's great for the community, and in a few years time when MySQL has all the features I require I can finally throw out the MS SQL servers.
Hell, if I'm in that situation you better expect me to torture my enemy for information or perhaps for the . No way I'm going to let one person fail to suffer some pain if it means I can find the cache of weapons or the leader of the enemy (let's ignore WMD's shall we).
And how much crap did the people who did the torturing get into?
That said, if anyone invades my country and tortures people I'll be reall annoyed, so I'm thinking I may be a teensy bit hypocritical here.
Mod me flamebait or insightful as you wish. I'm happy to lose my Karma over this, so long as at least one person realises that despite the Geneva convention (or whichever one prevents torture) it is sometimes the only thing you can do to save more lives...
I've never used TiVo so I can't comment on that, but I've noticed that a lot of websites have ads I don't want to see. If I surf a serial's website at work to trial some software before we buy it I have to deal with porn all over my screen. Not something you want the Director or the HR department to see. I use adblock to stop these.
Cowboy Neal would be a little pissed if he realised I also block the ads on slashdot. This isn't because I want to stop someone from gaining revenue, hell, I click on those ads most of the time, but the fact is that I have an issue with bandwidth which affects my DNS. If I'm trying to load doubleclick google-analytics AND the website I actually want to view, this causes significant lag time on my pages. I'm not trying to jip someone their pay and (if I weren't a paranoid!) I'm not trying to prevent them gathering information... the simple fact is that loading the extra pages significantly affects my surfing experience.
Protection against double click isn't that bad... squid proxy and a block list is always a good start. I have a custom adblock list in all my Firefox browsers that blocks (among others) doubleclick and the google analytics.
I'm not a full on paranoid (can't stand using Tor most of the time for example) but it doesn't mean I have to give my information away just because someone went to the effort of trying to retrieve it. Bad enough they have my email and I log in automatically to that...
And is Google becoming the new Microsoft? Large enough market share to be scary, but still with enough competition that America can't really interject with the justice system?
Why not cut back on junkets, corporate events and main stream advertising.
AMD doesn't really seem to be a corporate chip yet (At least the places here in Australia that I have seen all run Intel's) so there's no real need to break into these events with their current chips. Their marketing in Computer magazines and so forth is great, but even that doesn't really help them. My experience is that people switch to AMD when suggested by their friends. Word of mouth seems to be their biggest advertising campaign.
Spending more money, yes, but on the right area's.
I'm thinking the joke is on the guy who modded me flamebait... obviously I don't plan to do anything of the sort! The example was relative to freespeech.
Someone modded me funny because they saw that. Good to know there's some insight still left on slashdot.
IANAL and this is not legal advice, merely a recount of a story
A friend of mine got pulled in by the big guns out here in Australia a little while ago. It was kept very quiet (for which he was grateful) because they stormed into his house to find him sitting at his table drinking a coffee, all his PC's turned off. His TrueCrypted hardisks were useless as he "forgot" the complex key in all the excitement of having his door kicked in by a task force. Probably not legal but can they prove it?
Of course pleading the 5th would just make you look guilty as hell;)

StarTrek is the most advanced record we have of the human race in space. Of course its rated informative... you don't mock history!!!
No some of them are heterosexual women... and some are homosexual women... and if you get REALLY lucky you might find yourself some bi-sexual women.
;)
Between them and the heterosexual men, we've covered the entire human race
