There actually are some consequences now for allowing an obviously heavy concentration of criminal activity on your networks. It's just not going to be accepted anymore.
When will Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T accept the consequences of their users' criminal activity?
Perhaps the malice these researchers feel towards Latvia is similar in some way to the anger the RIAA feels towards filesharers?
FTFA: "interfering with the operation of a mass transportation vehicle, a felony under the USA PATRIOT Act."
Yelling at a bus driver? Felony Leaning in front of an oncoming train? Felony Talking on the transit radio band? Felony Putting pennies on train tracks? Felony
Somehow, my youth was filled with felonious behavior. Perhaps the Homeland needs securing from scamps like me.
The web is an incredibly huge piece of the internet.
Please tell us about these 65,000 other services that need a properly functioning DNS. Since the only protocol affected here is HTTP, and the only applications that use invalid URLs are either human-driven (browsers) or malware, I suggest that the NX response is fundamentally outdated and useless.
These pages are helpful for the typical web surfer. In fact, an automatic URL "fixing" service would be one of those revolutionary Web 2.0 features that exists in the recesses of the web, part of the infrastructure and totally natural to use.
Yes, it breaks some scripts and runs contrary to published standards, but it presents a new (actually pretty old) conception of how the web should work.
What's it like to get a shot in the eye? I assume they anesthetize you so that can't flinch or blink. But are you conscious? It seems like a waking nightmare to watch a needle slowly approach your eyeball and there's nothing you can do about it.
I suppose it's a pretty routine operation, but yikes, the needle in the eye...
The technology is very interesting, but you can't get any traction unless people are willing to actually buy and wear the glasses. As geeks, sometimes we overlook the attractiveness aspect of new technology. We shouldn't, it's half the battle.
There was a show describing natural immunity to HIV. In fact, one of the interesting discussions was how the prostitutes in Africa had actually developed immunity to the virus.
The evolution of HIV is unfortunate, but the true tragedy is the legacy of European colonialism in Africa. This legacy means that ancient tribal beliefs and superstitions are still prevalent because it was easier to pacify the natives with animism than with modern religion.
So you have bands of young men raping young girls, gangraping widows, murdering albinos, and other horrendous acts in the vain attempt to cure themselves of HIV.
The opportunity to bring Africa into the modern age was thrown away and now we are faced with a backwards, superstitious continent without education, reason, law and order. The responsibility of colonists is to raise the living standards in the colonies. Europeans didn't do it, and now we have multiple strains of HIV and no hope to stop the epidemic.
When the government starts censoring things, I find that it is usually because of national security issues more than anything else.
Look at your government and seriously think about how on the ball they are about anything.
You'll find that the only thing they are ever on the ball about is national security. That's it (unless you're an unfortunate American in which case that's not even something you can believe in). So when the government starts freaking out and censoring things left and right, you can bet that there's something important contained in the leaked files.
Now, it's up to you to keep what you know safe and secret from Al Qaeda and other terrorist organizations.
I'm of the opinion that Metallica was never the same after they kicked Mustaine out.
If this interloper wants to talk about "extreme" Doom-ness and other "hardcore" features, I think that we really ought to consider the quality of music that Dave Mustaine brought to heavy metal. Both with Metallica and eventually with Megadeth.
The iPhone may be a small platform, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't also look at the possibilies it presents. That would be justice for all.
If I choose to torpedo my own future by electing to use a paper uploaded to turnitin, the only one hurt is me.
Or is it?
How many people with tons of promise got turned down/away because of their inability to express themselves in some random test?
In the company of fellow nerds here on Slashdot, I have no qualms revealing this, but I sucked at written essays. But my intelligence isn't proved in some one-time essay. It's all about how I create real solutions for real problems. It's never about some random problem that some dumbfuck in some ivory tower created.
Choosing to bypass testing is the right answer, no matter what the question.
Despite the tendency towards corporatism, I believe that there is still power in the government. It is the power of each individual to exercise his vote. I don't believe corporate interests have taken over.
Like Luke Skywalker, I can feel the good in the system.
Well, gollleee. We oughta just drop a fuckin nucular bomb on those inconsiderate ingrates in afganastam. That ought to make them see the light (no pun intended).
Seriously, what is your argument exactly? Our enemies will stop hating us when we kill them more efficiently? Time heals all wounds?
Do you support our full withdrawal from Iraq and Afghanistan?
While perhaps not the most disciplined troops in the group, Americans who hvae passed through the educational system and who have access to a television are well-versed in patriotism.
What the military doesn't need is free-thinkers. Hackers, by virtue of their status as hackers, are not necessarily free-thinkers. If they've passed through the American educational system, they've already been trained as much as the military needs. The American public school system is designed to train patriots. I wouldn't worry that these "hackers" are incompletely trained.
An American bomb falls on a wedding in the Swat Valley and creates 50 new terrorist recruits.
An American soldier kills three people in a private home in Iraq. The youngest son witnesses the carnage and becomes a life-long anti-American soldier.
A young girl witnesses her mother ripped to shreds by a missile fired by an unmanned American drone.
The War Against Terrorism (TWAT) is a fight against innocents. To claim any less is simply a rationalization of the pani inflicted upon those who have nothing to do with with true terrorism. And what's worse: Each attack leads to the creation of new terrorists.
Maybe the US government can hire script kiddies to wage war against "terrorists", but true hackers should fight the government. It is our enemy. It is the enemy of every life-loving person in the world.

500 dollars for the winner, but you are expecting evolutionary neural nets, genetic programming, fuzzy logic, and temporal difference learning.
The temporal difference between the effort to build such an AI and 500 bucks seems a little too great.

I'm sure glad that the Homeland is secure from this miscreant.
The DHS wants you to think of them like this: http://www.dhs.gov/index.shtm
But this is what they really are: http://www.ice.gov/
No quarter to tired, poor, huddled masses yearning to breathe free.

There were only two people in the world who ever looked good in round glasses: John Lennon and Mahatma Gandhi.
This poor lady looks like she needs a wedgie.

Why can't the CPU contain a register which holds a random number which is updated with every clock cycle?
The GPL promotes one type of "open" source model.
Open source only means that the source is available to the users of the product.
Customer service is a cost. But it also buys goodwill when done right.
It's sad that Apple has done this and marred their customer-centric aura. However, such settlement terms are really par for the course.
