Go Daddy has a history of pulling registrations without notification to domain owners. Remember seclists.org and familyalbum.com? Those domains were redirected because of third party complaints. The complaints were not even made by law enforcement. The GoDaddy TOS expressly allows them to suspend service at their discretion and they do it at the first sign of trouble.
I'm not defending GoDaddy in the least, but people doing business with them should be aware of their history and policies.
I'm just waiting for a massive Cholera epidemic to break-out, spread by the fecal coliform carried on iPads and iPhones. Please wash your hands and iDevice before leaving the lavatory.
All these security breaches remind me that the world has changed in an irrevocable manner and that it's only a matter of time before anything and everything falls victim to these types of attacks. Nothing is really safe anymore.
Nothing ever was. The only difference now is that this one made the news.
If you are REALLY interested in Doctor Who you would start with "An Unearthly Child". Forget this namby pamby "Try the 2005 series and then the older ones" B.S.
The 1963 series is the best to start with. The Doctor is a complete unknown and quite sinister, Susan is weird as hell, Ian and Barbara are out of their depth and just trying to survive. There is no guarantee anyone is going to live to the end of each episode and the stories are still surprising after all these years. Don't miss out on the greatest era of Doctor Who just because it's "old".
So long as you have encrypted connections, what's wrong with using 'the cloud'? I don't think you'll find any modern phone that syncs email with a desktop email client anymore. Why the heck would that be desirable anyway?
The problem isn't the connection, but who has access to the data once it is on the remote server? That is a difficult enough question with a hosted, off-site server but with cloud computing it becomes unanswerable because the data is spread (or should be) to various geographical locations. How accountable is your cloud provider for you data security?
The short answer is "there ain't none". You may be able to hack together an in house solution with some N900 devices, but they will probably be discontinued next year. After that who knows. As for the rest, all require using proprietary sync tools (ala iTunes) or syncing to remote servers (Driod, PalmPre, Blackberry).
What makes Go hard isn't anything particularly neat about the game.
Is just a boring brute force exercise.
I'm curious why you think Go is a brute force game. I'm not sure you've actually played the game before, maybe you're thinking of Atari Go?
A real game of Go has very subtle strategies. Using brute force tactics against a strong player usually ends in a loss, which is why computers have only been able to win against Dan level players on very small boards or with very large handicaps.
This is A VERY GOOD THING. We are fighting for the future of human knowledge. It goes beyond paychecks and copyrights. When information is shared amongst all people it brightens the world. When information is restricted and controlled the world is darkened. Anything that prevents one group of people from controlling others access to information is a heroic act. No matter how petty and small it may seem.
Don't get me wrong, this really sucks for the guy and is completely unfair. But this sort of thing happens all the time. If this were a rare occurrence, then yeah, I'd be up in arms. It's sort of not newsworthy anymore.
The only reason that these things happen is that every time these things happen everybody looks around and says "Well, these things happen..." and THAT'S why they happen!
Doesn't help in this case. I've had two friends get compromised in the last week. In both cases, since I was in their address book, I got V1agra spam from their accounts. The messages were from legitimate white listed Gmail addresses sent from legitimate Google servers.
Don't get me wrong, this was a really big mistake. It doesn't happen often at this scale, but it does happen.
In this case the prefixes what were mis-broadcast were sequential for the most part and covered several networks and countries, not a specific target. The bulk of the misrouted addresses were actually in China. They also didn't leak the routes (as in the Pakistan incident) but re-originated the prefixes, pre-pending their AS number to the announcement. This means "origin AS" based filters would have stopped the incident form even happening. I think that some poor technician fat fingered his BGP announcement, trying to do some traffic shaping. An actual attack would have been much more sophisticated.
You will have to make your own decision about your paranoia against China.
This kind of thing happens all of the time. Subscribe to the operators list at http://www.nanog.org/ and you will see reports of mis-announced prefixes every month or two. This is just China bashing and media sensationalism. (Which I do mind very much, thank you)
This is exactly why I donate to the Electronic Frontier Foundation every year. Until these rights are tested for the 'new' electronic medium in a court of law, we need a lobby group dedicated to securing them.
Great, so what are your suggestions for when congress or the supreme court violates the constitution? What about when a state law defies a federal law? Or vice versa? In the case of congress or the states, do the same. Bring charges against their actions and process them in a court of law. The supreme court can not actually violate the constitution since they are the final interpretors of that document.
I am sorry but if you are going to pin Bush to the wall, and claim it is to "uphold the law", you need to go after the other branches of the government as well, and at all levels. I agree. All members of the government need to be held accountable to the same rules and laws, regardless of party affiliation. This is what "rule of law" means.
It needs to be done regardless of how long GW has left in his term. If we are going to pretend that the USA is governed by the rule of law, GW and his cronies need to be held accountable for the way they have violated the constitution. It should be done now to show that the checks and balances built into the system actually work. By not moving on these articles congress is exposing the fraud that the American democratic republic has become, which may be the point Kucinich is trying to make in the first place.
kafkar Most rules and instructions are in place for a reason, to protect people.
But what rule did she violate? Is there a dress code for airport terminals that is kept secret by the TSA? She wasn't even in a "secured" area of the terminal.
Anonymous Coward If you were in a police state you wouldn't be able to say that without mysteriously disappearing.
Only if I was a real threat. As it stands now, anybody who points out that fascists have already taken control of the county is laughed off as a kook. Making them disappear would only add credence to their paranoid ramblings.
robert899 BTW: It's "Don't taser me Bro"
Ya..I'm a moron and Slashdot doesn't have an edit feature.
At this moment are all peasants living in a police state. This includes the US, the EU, and the Commonwealth. The fact that so many of you are saying that "She should have known better" just proves my point. Obey. Do not be different. Follow instructions. You have no one but yourself to blame. Don't taser me dude.

at least this time the powers that be didn't blow-up two buildings to make their strawman..
Unless you are the one running the cloud.

Here is a link to an old "Comic Book Artist" magazine interview with Alan Moore that definitively describes the DC/Carlton/Watchmen connection:

Yes he did. Negroponte is very insightful.
