Hate to break it to ya, but Cisco only bought Linksys 3 years ago, so you probably can't put all of the blame on Cisco if you had some of those routers for 5 years or so. Also, if you kill them that fast, are you sure it's not an environmental factor like overheating?
Seriously though, I think the idea is that spammers think honeypots are more likely to run non-RFC compliant servers and that RFC compliant servers are more likely to be trusted by recipient servers. That'd be my guess at least.
Ummm, not exactly. They aren't really abusing trademarks. Try going to.biz and nothing will happen. There isn't some boilerplate advertising site that icann or verisign or whoever is trying to profit from.
Though with the tiered approach to pricing-you are right, that is squatting.
I fail to understand how auctioning would work. How long would bidding be open? Does that time frame start when someone first wants it? Why wouldn't extortionists just wait until someone wanted a domain then start running up the bid until the person who really wants the domain gives in to them?
Auctioning off domain names sounds like a completely ridiculous idea to me. Why do people keep suggesting it? Are people that clueless?
No, no, no, no, NO! Alpha and Beta testing is just that: TESTING. Alpha testing is usually closed testing used inside a company to try to find major bugs and test new ideas. Beta testing is usually a little more open and is used to find small bugs before release. Many beta tests even require NDAs.
Just because Google thinks adding 'beta' on the end of a bunch of their products is cool, does not mean beta testing is for marketing.
Well, I guess I'll rip on your comment a bit, but I won't resort to calling you names...
BluRay... Ummm, yeah, I don't feel too good about this tech, nor do many people because of the past Sony media problems.
Online movie and music store... So, you're telling me Sony will let me burn those to take with me too? Even after their attempt at preventing this with their rootkit? I don't think so.
Webbrowsing and other desktop apps... Yes, because that is why I get a game console, to write up my resume and lookup porn.
Tilt controller = pointer bolted on, so you already discredited this one, even though it's a good feature.
Every single developer that supported the PS2 onboard with their games for the PS3... that falls under the 'Full backwards compatiblity for all PS2 titles umbrella', or is there more to it?
Harddrive upgradeable with stadard store bought drives... Wouldn't that void your warranty from Sony?
The whole HDTV thing is questionable currently, but I think it will be valuable in a few years when HDTVs actually become more mainstream and when that happens the non-HDMI connector on the cheap version will likely be useless.
Please cut out the pointless fan dribble and give us the useful features.
The sad part: you're right, the PS3 will do really well in the marketplace. I know this, and it is because the large majority of consumers are stupid.
Actually, rock is better. Glass is actually a supercooled liquid, and will eventually flow into a puddle; though it would take greater than 100 years, so you would be ok if you used glass, but rock would last longer. But then would they still use the same file formats we use now? Will we still be using binary computers? Would people have any idea what the stuff carved in stone is?
I still want to know how illegal it would be for me to run a Kazaa client with a bunch of word documents renamed as MP3s to try to get the RIAA to sue me.
No, acording to the MPAA/RIAA, Blu-Ray not just a container. You only paid for the license for the content as it is on the disc. If you try to copy it to your HD on the console, you might be violating the DMCA and copyright laws!
So, if you were passed out from a heart attack and couldn't give anyone 'consent' and an EMS rolls up with paramedics who are certified in CPR they wouldn't be saving the person's life, they would be "using CPR on a victim without their permission"?
They said the idea of using electricity to heal wounds is 150 years old; so no, the general idea is indeed old. The thing is, the electricity has to be applied in a very specific way to work. You could guess and get lucky and heal yourself with the above mentioned device, but(what I read from TFA) the old idea only works if you guessed right.
BUT, I think these guys found the mechanism by which electricity does this (which is new) and I'd also bet they actually have a way to reliably use the electricity (frequency/voltage/duration combo) to reliably cause healing.
I have a plan where I can pay a certain fee for long distance calls. It's one fee, to anywhere outside of my 'local network. I don't pay a fee to be able to make a call to Kentucky, a seperate fee to be able to make a call to Norway, and a seperate fee to be able to make a call to California. It's one fee to make a long distance call. That's what my plan says, that's what I get.
Now let's move on to internet, I pay a fee to get a maximum download bandwidth of about 2Mbps and maximum upload rate of about 750Mbps, that's what my plan says, THAT IS WHAT I SHOULD GET.
So if I put up a bait coumputer with Kazaa installed or whatever on it and put in a bunch of bogus files with random data in it that is the same size, and hashes to the same value, and has the same metadata as coprighted music on it, and they tried to sue me for these non-music files, and could prove it, I could sue them for lots of money?
Nah, it's just that women tend not to have an interest in science... until now. I can see all the feminists switching from their women's studies degrees to Biology.
At least I can still lift heavy stuff!
I'm not sure what the mobile phone coverage is in Finland, but here in America, it is FAR less than perfect. Too many people wouln't be able to use this system from their home for many banks to use. It would work well in cities where coverage is good (and where most people live) but too many people live in spotty areas of mobile coverage for the banks to completely switch to this.

We complain when Microsoft quietly releases patches, why would we ever expect less of Apple?
How would you go about something that isn't visually programmed? Like, how would you go about programming a web server?
Shhh! Or they will catch on!

No, it IS part of the treatment. It won't work without it.
You've been watching videos on Yahoo!Launch haven't you?

Don't bother, I laready know the answer is yes.
Yeah, a bidding process on .org sites, or any TLD, would lead a crazy amount of extortion.
You must be new here (the world).
It's called politics. So it'll likely never happen.

Any lawers want to help us out? Pro bono? Could be kinda fun!

In general parlance, could someone who plays in increments of less than 15 minutes be considered a 'gamer'?
