I mentioned that. When you hit a second account (easily gathered with my unique username here) then you *may* run into one of the other combinations. So no, not totally secure once one is gone.
I do not know... My security here, on my network, may well be better than that at some unknown company. I, for example, do not have to allow inbound traffic from millions of people. I can stop all inbound traffic that does not originate on my network. I do not have to have constantly running services that may have exploits of their own. I can encrypt all my stored data. I can use a VPN. I can even create my own VPN. I am able to configure a hard or soft firewall to very explicitly cover only my needs and do so myself so that I needn't worry about someone else configuring it properly on my behalf.
I can not say that my network is more secure than this one in the article. What I can say is that it probably is - I have no known attacks that have been successful. I do have a number of intrusion attempts in my logs. I can not be certain that I have not been successfully attacked but it is unlikely. I may not be more secure, which is a process - not an application, than this particular company (it is possible) but I am certainly more secure than the vast majority of online servers. I am also likely more secure than the lastpass site as well. Of course I am far less a target than they are - and I am certain I am vulnerable somewhere (beyond physical attacks).
I have a "universal" password. It basically remains much the same for every site but it is complex and varies per site.
Examples (not real, obviously):
myp@$$W0RD18117tSlashdot myp@$$W0RD18117tGmail
This has flaws, obviously, but brute force attacks are a small risk as is guessing based on intimate knowledge of me. Of course, if they get one they can get the rest. I attempt to mitigate this by having multiple combinations that I recall easily. If I am unable to remember the password then I just move on to the next format and try that one. I have maybe a dozen that I move through. Some of them include things like the year and I will change the password at the end of that year to a new one. Obviously my above examples are sanitized - they are not real examples.
My system is not perfect, none of them are, but it is one that has worked for me with no known security failures. If I am on a trip then I typically use VNC (encrypted and password protected) and do any serious things from a dedicated computer at home. My feeling is that it does not have to be hard to remember for it to be difficult to guess.
My niece has a friend (this is, sadly, a true story) who got their first credit card. She was pleased and activated it. She was so excited, and I kid you not, she took a picture of this card and posted it to her Facebook account. I am not sure how they got the 3 or 4 digit number on the back of the card (or if they did) but it took less than a day for the card to reach its limits and, sadly, she is not being held liable for the fraudulent transactions. Some folks should not be allowed credit cards or internet access. My point is, I suppose, that people do not understand even basic security.
You know, we called applications 'apps' long before the invention of the cell phone or the proliferation of the smart phone. In other words, your disdain for the word is a bit silly as it has been a part of our lexicon for quite some time.
You make it happen by creating your own music and living according to your chosen licensing scheme. You do not get to force others to license according to your desires. Make your model, try to make it profitable, and see if it is viable. I wish you luck. Seriously, no - I do wish you luck. I love concerts and frequently attend them. Sometimes I will even go see bands I do not really like just for the ambiance.
So, and not really extrapolating, you are saying that you want to live with the living conditions from back then... Do you think you will be royalty if you can just go back?Stop eating meat, stop eating anything not in season, put away your oranges, stop with your dental care, do not go to the hospital, stop using your computer (please?), and stop bathing. Hmm... That last one may not apply.
Having a good microbrew and an incredible calzone in a nice environment, with great music, is freaking awesome (should there have been a comma in there?)./quote>
I am no expert and tend to throw in the Harvard comma every time (even when not needed, as I understand the rules) for example. However, if I were to attempt to help you out (assuming you really wanted an answer) that is where I would have placed them. Again, where *I* would have placed them may not be correct but that is not usually something that people complain about.
Are you Thick (as a Brick)? Bass players can understand this... The DJ paid for the copies of the music (maybe). They paid regular retail rates and have the rights granted by that purchased medium. They can not then take that and play it in public for the purposes of entertaining the public without incurring new fees because that is not a right given when purchasing music at retail prices. Now, in this case, they played it on private property for a public audience - they played it in a restaurant. This means the onus lies with the owner of the restaurant - they have to pay for the rights to publicly play (or perform) the copyright music. They could have, if they wanted, played something with a different license and not incurred these fees. For better, or worse, music is usually licensed and the medium it is on is purchased.
I believe that, in the days of yore, you could buy media with the express purposes of public consumption but it was at a higher rate - namely that you could buy albums for your bar-situated jukebox and pay a single, one-time, price for that and the licensing for that included the right to play it in public.
Bass players can understand this. Yeah... Bass players...
We can argue about the merits but this is the current law and it has been in place for quite some time. You can change that but you can not change the current situation. In the future, depending on your vision of utopia, this may be different.
Maybe if you licensed ovens instead of purchased them? I am still not seeing what you are not understanding. More accurately, I am not seeing how you are not understanding. This is not complex - bar owners and bass players can understand it... Bass players...
In my area it is the bars that pay the bill. It is, as I recall, about $600 USD. I do some work with a band when they need a helping hand (drum or rhythm guitar usually) if someone is unable to make it or if they plan on being fancy for a larger venue. Either way, it is not paid by the band in this instance. YMMV
We should put RTGs on our ICBMs. Instead of blowing people up we could be like, "Hey, here is some free power." Then they might not want to blow us up.
Perhaps you do not understand... Imagine, if you will, a battery. Now this battery contains 1500mAh. You can drain that in a few minutes or you can drain that over a hundred thousand years. Which one is more likely to have an effect? The same amount of energy is being released but over a much longer time which means the effect is negligible. Now think of a chocolate chip cookie... Heh... We will start with small steps.
If my understanding is correct, and I am too lazy to verify it by looking it up, a documentary I recently watched put forth that, statistically speaking, the amount of aid that Israel gets is trivial compared to what they spend on their military. The assertion being made was that all foreign aid could be stopped and it would have no effect on Israel's military capacity. They threw a bunch of numbers up on the screen and cited them but I did not care enough then (or now) to verify.
I guess my point is that the aid given Israel is not that important to them and that they, supposedly, can afford it. I like Israel and I actually almost converted to Judaism (I did not end up getting married so that was an easy out) but I do think they need to change how they deal with Palestinians. There is a nice camp that is sort of nearby. They take a group of Jewish kids and a group of Palestinian kids, fly them here at no expense, and have them live and play together outside of their usual environment. It is small but it is a start. They get a donation from me every year even though their impact is quite small.
I can agree with them. If, of course, one is passionate about this subject then one should be willing to be reactionary up to an including risking themselves for their cause. I, of course, see this as a low priority. There are far more important things to be angry about and far greater things that need to be changed.
Does this matter when Google outsells Apple by a large margin? Example, if the average Apple user spends $1 and the average Android user spends $0.5 and the Android outsells the Apple by a margin of 10:1 then which one makes more sense to develop for?
I got lucky. I happened to be in the right place and at the right time. Initially I modeled vehicular traffic and later expanded to model pedestrian traffic as well. I started/owned my own business for years and, sure, I worked hard but no harder than anyone else - it truly was a matter of being fortunate and in a position where I could take the risks. I was offered a reasonable sum and sold my business so that I could retire. I still play around with some business silliness but am really retired more than anything. Also, wait until you notice my flipping of border and boarder. I never get those correct. I think that part of my brain broke too.

It is not for no reason. It is ransom money. If they "try to fix" the problem then the internet will probably stop working too.
There's drugs in them there CVSs! Those should be looted too. And maybe saved for the inevitable need of first aid supplies.

Is your wife a whore? If so then it might be a place of business with the intent to entertain the public.

Is your real name Jason Bourne? Given the moniker you use and all... I am sure that is it!

Very true but this was money that can sit idle for a long time. I do not need to worry about it.
