That number seems either misleading or bullshit. Earlier reports were saying that the vast majority of peer-to-peer filesharing goes through BitTorrent, and now a different network is supposed to have more than half of the traffic?
says that moving files created with Office to Google Docs results in the loss of data fidelity including the loss of such data components as charts, styles, watermarks, fonts, tracked changes, and SmartArt.
... and it took the Office team months of hard work to achieve that.
Issues on Afghanistan and NASA aside, it should be made illegal to tack irrelevant points to legislation in an effort to piggy-back otherwise ridiculous things into law or to sabotage bills with unpopular additions.
So... how many people are going to be hospitalized with poisoning symptoms after mixing large quantities of this in the hopes of drinking the elixir of immortality?
That word does not quite mean what you think it means.
An MITM attack is where you actively intercept a point to point connection, negotiating a secure connection with each end-point while pretending to be the other. It is not feasible to do this to a wifi connection because you can't block the real end-points' reception of each other.
This is just passive sniffing. You can do it on any wifi network, open or not, although you can obviously only read unencrypted data.
So I wouldn't be too blase about cryptography not being the weak link.
Also, it has to be said that the main reason cryptography is getting less emphasis as the weak link is the dramatic advance made in cryptography over the last few decades. It's not becoming less important, it's just become better. Since we get to the point where nobody could feasibly use an algorithmic brute-force attack against properly used household cryptography (OpenGPG), non-cryptographic attack vectors like social engineering or viruses are getting more emphasis.
Malamanteau is not only a portmanteau of the neologisms "malapropism" and "portmanteau" and a malapropism of "portmanteau", it is, of course, a neologism for a malapropistic portmanteau as well.
Gah. My head is spinning more than it did after this strip.
If you store weapons and don't adequately secure them, you'd certainly be in trouble.
On the other hand, if you left your cellphone lying around and it gets used to commit fraud, then you shouldn't be responsible for that. This is more like that, I think.
if commercial offered software has this kind of liabilities it will very quickly be extended to OSS software offered for free.
A free service is not governed by business laws because there is no payment. Even a judge who has never heard of computers should see that, so there is little danger there.
A strong response from gamer groups in the Australian Federal Government's R18+ public consultation has led Censorship Ministers to claim that more views from the community are needed before a decision into the introduction of an R18+ classification for video games can be reached.
Who the fuck did the government THINK was going to respond? And what the fuck did they expect them to say?
OF COURSE gamers are an "interest group" when it comes to legislation that relates to gaming. It is in their interest. By definition.
This is like putting legislation allowing gay marriage on hold because you suspect that it is being promoted too strongly by the "special interest group" of gay people who want to get married.
It is a proven fact that every computer running this "open source" communism represents tens of thousands dollars in lost revenue for the BSA. BLOODY PIRATES!
Google is under no obligation to spend effort making it easy to use their site in a way not intended by them - particularly since Google provides an actual API that does not need any scraping.
It's like reading the newspaper over someone's shoulder in the train, and then complaining that they turn the page too fast to keep up.
Sure. New cars will come equipped with a cellular connection, and every command you give to the electronics (accelerate, steer left, steer right, brake, etc.) will first have to be confirmed via the "always on" connection.
In order to prevent pirates from driving an unauthorized copy or second-hand car, the electronics will shut down immediately if they cannot get a connection to General Motors' license server, leaving you careening down the freeway at 100. Piracy kills!:P

Perhaps they mean 60% of the non-torrent traffic?
Of course my computer disrupts my sleep.
While I'm using it.

Seriously what the fuck.
No, it means, you're a witch.
BURN THE WITCH!

This is pretty cool.

It would be a political process filled with demagoguery, valuing soundbites over facts, and economic gain over scientific truth.
Hey wait a minute...

The pirates spent time and effort on cracking that. The company should reimburse them! :P

The GPL license includes a warranty disclaimer, though.
If you call it something that doesn't result in an acronym of "SCO", you'll find the idea to be much more popular.

Better write to the estate of M. Guillotin to license his patent for that. :P

I'll believe it when I see it.
