The main issue now is, how did it get hacked, as millions of users are using hotmail/live-platform daily without problems.. Maybe the reporter was a bit dumb and put his login-account details on a hazy-website for some reason (like an external importing app, or a maulicious App for his phone/tablet/whatever)..
It's not like an account can be hacked that easily (just as easy as a GMail account could be hacked)..
So the hacking of his account doesn't have anything to do with the service itself..
talk about opinionated, it's also widely agreed that it was NOT! a justified attack on civilians.. But I guess you're an american, and ofcourse you have a particulair view on this matter.
And WHY should the US threaten NK and Iran for trying to defend themselves from an agressor like the US. I don't say I'm happy with NK and Iran for propably having Nukes (far from it), but since the US has them and are still creating new ones, who in the hell are they to judge and threaten any other country. ALL! countries should stop creating nuclear weapons and dismantle ALL they have, but as long as the countries who threaten others are still creating them any other countries has just as much right to do the same no matter what horrible regime..
And again, I really don't like those horrible regimes to have them either..
Maybe you american's should try to see how the rest of the world is looking at you, yes you have a beautifull country, but there are people leading your country who believe they own the world and the rest has to listen to them. How do you think we europeans feel when we read about US demanding an EU citizen to be handed over to them, but when we demand it from a US citizen we can go fuck ourselves.. Or when the rest of the world agrees to some treaty, but the US blocks it for their own filty reasons.. Or how about we having to give a lot of biometrical information if we want to fly to the US, but if we demand it from a US citizen you scream outraged..
As I said the US is a beautifull country (landscapewise), but the rest of the world is seeing what kind of agressor it has become.
I have done enough reading, and even a lot of UN countries still believe the US didn't have to drop the bombs, even back then among the US goverment there was a lot of debate..
I know NK and Iran aren't the stablest countries in the world, and I too wouldn't like for them to have nukes, BUT as long there are other country still making nukes (like the US, which are still making them and replacing the old ones with better/more powerfull ones) they have the same rights to create them as them. If all other countries would stop making them and dismantle ALL they have, then ofcourse NK and Iran shouldn't be allowed to, but that's not the case.. As I said, I'm not for them to have nukes.
Uhm, you do know that even american/european rockets fail a lot of the times too, and they have 100+ years of knowledge according to you.
If other countries are allowed to create/test missiles/rockets, who are we to bar NK to do the same.. I mean, there is one country in the world who still makes the most missiles and we know they even are willing to use nukes and kill a lot of innocent civilians even if it isn't necessary (as they have used them twice), but we still allow the US to make them..
And it's the US that's threatening Iran and NK, and IMHO that give those countries the right to develop weapons to defend themselves (even though I wouldn't think it is a good idea), it's not like the US has such a sane goverment, they also do whatever and whenever they please (and it doesn't matter if it's the republicans or democrats that provide the president, it's run by a completely different group anyway with the presidents and it's staff as puppets)
but doing it on consoles of other countries, it means it's actually an act of war (IMHO) as it's not something that is allowed by INTERNATIONAL Law.. but oh wait, the US doesn't give a rat's ass about international law unless it is in their favor..
So now if the US does it to our consoles, we are allowed to do it to their consoles...
But people who buy the bluray's don't have any problems, as their player just plays the discs.. the only people who have a problem with cinavia are people who try to play ripped movies with tv's/receiver's/players that use the cinaviadrm..
This is fun for what he show's, but it doesn't work for everything.. Also we already have stuff like that since Visual basic 6.0.. In the end it does do compile, the only difference is you don't have to hit the compile button..
Yes I have used the developer preview of Windows 8, and though it might be great for a tablet/phone, it sux balls for a desktop.. Come on, not being able to close an application without the use of taskmanager? Application is suspended if you switch to another? and having to use the scrollbar (when using mouse) to scroll the whole 'mainscreen' while using your finger it doesn't matter where you place it and scroll? And what's up with all those big text stuff, comeone, I didn't buy a big screen for nothing...
Oh and let's not forget about the search.. what kind of crap is that, typing your request pressing enter, no result but an app starts (because search isn't implemented for the first default selected app)..
As I said, it might be great for a tablet, but for desktop it is just bullox.. I like my taskbar, so I can see what's running, and for games it goes fullscreen anyway, or if an applications want's to it can also go fullscreen..
Well, what the hell has social services got to do with this? If the newsitem is real (and the images where not of his own children) why the hell do they bar him from being with his children.. One of the biggest problems with social services is that it has too many employee's who don't know their left from right, and those morons have to decide about YOU? No f-ing way... those people have already shown so many times they are incapable of doing their jobs right, it's just not funny anymore.. In a case like this (as I said, if we know all there is to know about this case) and it where my children, then NO-one can stop me from being with my kids..
Just think of Muzzies with nuclear weapons instead of planes to fly into our buildings
instead of just your own goverment doing such a thing to get a lot of laws passed and incentives for invading other countries (which they otherwise wouldn't have a reason for).. Just do some research and you'll find too much coincidences and questionmarks for it to be a real terrorist attack by some muslims extremists, some stuff, like calling of fighterjets, can't even be done without the help of the goverment.. and let's not forget the use of cellphones to call home from the airplane even though at that time it wasn't even possible from within a plane at that altitude..
Also let's not forget the biggest one, the 'pulling' of building 7(?) on the same day, which normally requires weeks of planning and setting up to actually 'pull' a building like that, and they can do it in just a matter of hours? yeah right..
Why not sacrifice a few lives if it can give you a lot of power, hell it makes common sense if you really think about it, but ofcourse it goes against all morale... Enough movies have had such a scenario, hell even an episode (the pilot) of the lone gunmen (x-files spinoff) has an almost exact storyline only aired a few months before (and ofcourse has been recorded and created well before that) and quess what, by the same company of the one that owned the WTC towers (which also both collapsed in a too controlled manor for it to be by the planes (the building was actually constructed not to be able to collapse if anything would happen on the higher levels, but mysteriously it did)..
And people are afraid of Iran creating nuclear weapons when we should also be very afraid about the US for creating such devestating devices (and especially a country which still creates nuclear devices and have proven to actually use them (and made a LOT of innocent victums (by direct hit, and later due to the radiation) with that action which wasn't even necessary to begin with)..
I'm not for Iran having nuclear weapons (far from it), but if other countries (like the US, France and israel) still are making/having them, then I must admit that Iran has just as much right for having them as the countries telling them they cannot. Those countries are just a bunch of hypocrits when it comes to such things..
Uhm.. here in the netherlands and a lot of other countries, being payed by the month is usual.. But even then it doesn't matter as (non buggy) salary calculation application keep this in mind because taxes and (a lot of) pensions already have it in their calculationrules..
And you wonder why people are going to bomb/fight goverment facilities.. What nonsense is this kind of crap if you can't even discuss a simple thing as those tunnels. If goverments are issueing unnecessary warrants like this, then they should be targeted because that just goes against all democratic sense.. It looks like even hitler was more lenient than the UK goverment..
If they were planning to bomb something instead of just exploring the tube's then it would be a whole different matter, but comeon, stop this useless abuse of power.. what's hidden in those tunnels they don't want 'us' to see?
yeah, I know, I'm stupid for bringing this up, but it's exactly what Sony did with OtherOS, you paid for certain functionalities but the seller changes it's mind and screws you over..
What the developer did in this case seems illegal to me from a consumerlaw standpoint.. But these things are stuff why I rather just have the old physical discs/carts..
There aren't many apps that instantly show up on your phone/tablet (unless they were already running in the background).
I even hate it when an application DOESN'T have a splashscreen (like firefox or IE), I have to wait and guess if something is happening before the actual application is shown.. A good application that has any loading needed should show a splash/loadingscreen, so a user knows something is happening, best is also to actually have a progressbar/object, or a line which flashes a lot of texts with what it's loading. It might slow the real loading for a bit maybe, but not the perception to the user, as he/she see's something is happening.. The lack of a loadingscreen (and therefore a long waiting time between the actual double click and seeing the first screen) is a big indication of lack of userinteraction knowledge.. ofcourse the best thing would be not having a loadingtime at all, but since you are targeting a large crowd, you have to keep in mind that there are people with slow devices/computer and people with superduperhyperfast devices/computers, you'll keep them both happy, as the slow one actually sees something happening, and the fast ones don't notice it, as it's gone before they blinked their eyes.. so the first line of code in an application that has something to load, is showing the splashscreen, and then go ahead with loading anything..
And how secure is having only openid to login into every website? Now they only have to hack into your openid account to get onto all those different websites, making it much easier for the hackers.... yeah google i understand why you want everybody to use your openid, so you can track them even better....
If there's someone you don't want to have access to your encrypted communication, it's the media, we all know they will use it for their own benefits. Why should media have access to the communication, there is no need for it.. the only reason people want it, is because of their sensation hunger they need to satisfy, and that can NEVER be a reason for not having encrypted communications.. Civilians don't want their cellphones to be listened in on, so why wouldn't officers have a safer working enviroment by having encrypted communications (as it's their asses that are on the line, not ours who sit behind the tv watching the mayhem)..
And with the new MacOSX on ARM you'll have to buy ALL your software over again as it won't run on it, just like you had to when they switched from powerpc to x86..
The fact they won't filter the content is good, but all the woman asked according to the article is for the man to move to another computer (where the monitor wasn't as visible as the one he was using I guess), so therefore I think the man should have relocated..
Under EU patent rules, a company that hold patents for standardized products are required to license them out indiscriminately at a fair price.
but the problem with Apple is, they think they are special and want to pay less as all the other companies, as Samsung is having them pay exactly the same as the rest..
What kind of moronic thing this? So if i'm interested in weapons and bomb and I download a recipe I'm a terrorist? WTF? as long as there are no real materials ordered/in possesion to actually build the stuff, people are free to the information.. So I guess there is more to this than the article mentions, as only having downloaded the documents can't be enough, it's not like it's childporn or something...
Slashdot Mirror
err, on his Windows machine.
or Android device, or OS-X device, or Linux device.. it's not like Windows is the only OS which has malware..
and what if he just had a crappy password (or used it's password everywhere and another site was hacked), no OS can guard against that..
The main issue now is, how did it get hacked, as millions of users are using hotmail/live-platform daily without problems..
