Dumb. I didn't even Smile A Little Then Stop.
Because there are some who really don't know -- DOS means Denial of Service, usually from a single origin -- which is the closest relative of the DDoS, ala Distributed Denial of Service which stems from many different origins.
Facebook's 1 Billion Users is very simple -- There isn't 1 Billion (unique) Living, Breathing, Computer Using Humans on Facebook.
If you believe there are actually 1 Billion, completely unique users on Facebook, then I need to ask that each of you turn over your Internet Licenses, power down your computers, and find a new hobby. You are just to dangerous to be allowed on the Internet without adult supervision.
Ever hear of bot nets?
You know...all those virus infected zombie computers that have been using networks on IRC for years. Well...these bots are now using Facebook, Twitter, and probably any other social network now.
If you still refuse to believe the facts. Well...I guess you must be OK living your lives being gullible -- unable to reason or use logic to derive a truth that actually makes sense.
As for the author, Ashlee Vance -- you are a failure as a journalist. You fail, because you are unable to do any real research to uncover real information and only write stories that have potential for getting your story published and hopefully someone will noticed you and throw fame and fortune at you. Keep Dreaming!
Only gullible people fall for those websites or any social engineering ploy. Not everyone who thinks they are good at social engineering really are as good as they think. The truth is their targets are probably just gullible and are easily fooled anyway.
I'll just say it...if you can socially engineer me, and get some really valuable information about me...then you are good at social engineering - period!
You make it sound so easy...which its not. Reverse engineering hashing algorithms still require a lot juice, and a lot of luck, and even more patience.
For example:
A related-key attack can break up to 9 rounds of 256-bit AES. A chosen-plaintext attack can break 8 rounds of 192- and 256-bit AES, and 7 rounds of 128-bit AES, although the workload is impractical at 2128 - 2119. Basically you have a better chance of being struck by lightening, on the same day you win the Lottery, than being able to break it!
It would take 631 thousand years to crack just one of my passwords - and considering you may need to crack at least one other before you got to that one, I would say, go ahead and try - I'll wait...........
I use Google+ because when you first join...you are asked verbatim whether you would like them to use your information for advertisement revenue. Now whether they actually don't do this when you say no is another issue. I supposed I would know if I were logged in and suddenly the ads started showing me things tied to what I was typing or to what was being said during a meet up.
And lets not forget that the number presented can never represent the number of REAL users versus automated/bots/scripts etc. So I can guarantee that whatever number Facebook claims is its user number, does not mean they actually have that number of actual real living people using the site.
I KNEW IT... I always wondered why every time I got high, I would end up in the kitchen searching for snacks, instead of seeking out the local heroin dealer.
MacPorts is not a port of FreeBSD's ports collection or pkg. Have you ever used FreeBSD before? MacPorts is closer to portage than it is to FreeBSD ports.
Nope...you are clearly wrong.
Yes, I have used several versions of FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD. Based on you being an Anonymous Coward, its also very clear that you are a troll just trying to start a baseless argument designed to illicit a negative reply from me. Portage is a Linux based package manager made popular by the Gentoo distro of Linux. The UNIX core running under OS X is BSD based. Mac"PORTS" is based off PORT in FreeBSD. If you had any real experience in *nix *nux based operating systems you would know this and would have replied as a real person and would have backed up your argument with some actual facts.
Here is the most obvious citation from Wikipedia, where is clearly states MacPorts (formerly DarwinPorts) is similar in aim and function to Fink and the BSDs' ports collections (McMillian, 2002):
CLANG is just nowhere near mature enough for total replacement of GCC. Not every port will build with CLANG...see MacPorts which is an OS X port of the FreeBSD package manager. MacPorts has been attempting this since Lion was released. I have posted numerous times how it was a bad idea to force CLANG as the default compiler, yet for some reason, developers of package managers are completely blind to the fact that the user base they support with these package managers tend to not have the same systems, or different needs, or in most cases, a lack of experience with compiler troubleshooting.
CLANG is messy too...it doesn't handle warnings very well and tends to crash during compile for the smallest warning that isn't really considered fatal by the upstream developers. Most package manager communities are volunteer based, and do not have any method of upstream sponsorship to give the user base a place to go ask for real help. Most package manager developers (MacPorts) tend to take the "You Can Always Ask for a Refund" stance because they don't get paid for their efforts and think that their shit doesn't stink.
GCC should never be replaced completely, and I think FreeBSD is about to learn a terrible lesson.
Um. I think they already do that. It why so many wars are going on. Instead...why not just prove it, rub it in the faces of all those who are wrong....and be done with it.
Keep on the look out, as there will be a staged "terrorist attack," or a "false flag" operation, for which Iran will be blamed. As Iran and its leadership have already been demonized, the "false flag" attack will suffice to obtain US and European public support for bombing Iran. The bombing will, of course, include more than the nuclear facilities and will continue until the Iranians agree to regime change and the installation of a puppet government.
Its how the US was able to move from Afghanistan to Iraq so quickly, and why we were able to re-deploy back to Afghanistan to "finish what we started". Its also why Bush never found and killed Osama bin Laden, because Bush was never after him, he was after Saddam, the oil reserves in Iraq, and the corruption of all the reconstruction contracts.
...I was wrong when I once said that all the crazy people should be let out of the hospitals and let to run the governments of the US. Nope, it is now very clear that the crazy people should be kept locked up, and furthermore should not be allowed to read the news or anything above their education levels.
I mean...I really think that "Interpretation 101" should be elected as a required course, starting in elementary school. Because it is again, very clear, that people should not be allowed to interpret anything that they are not qualified to do.
Another Reply From Rumblefish CEO - Looks like Slashdot may have had an impact for greater good:)
An update for you: I watched the video personally and it was clear that there was no music on it at all. The YouTube content ID system mistakenly associated the birdsong with one of our artists / labels and sent us the claim. So, of course, we have released the claim. We're not sure why the video was ID'd that way but are looking into it.
All...
I wrote a pretty heated email to Rumblefish earlier, and below (with his permission) is the response I received from the CEO Paul Anthony.

Hey Jeff, it's Paul Anthony, CEO and Founder of Rumblefish. I have to say, I appreciate your passion for what you believe is right and your willingness to go to bat for it.
I just caught wind of the thread going on at Slashdot and have started replying to posts. It's very important to myself and everyone at Rumblefish that we do right by creators. If we have in fact been sent a claim from the YouTube Content ID system that has been misidentified...we'll happily release it. I'll make sure we look into it, and are doing so now.
I'm gathering from the thread that the issue is obviously over singing birds....sounds like an outside case to me that we represent birds singing in nature....but in cases like this it could very well be A: Something completely different in the work B: A simple mistaken piece of content by the YouTube content ID system or an error on our part.
Before you launch a full fledged, and rather passionate by the tone of your email, assault against my company...I'd appreciate the opportunity for my team to actually look into this. We're a group of people who love music, love content creators and show up at work every day to do right by our artists and labels by sending them royalties for the use of their music.
So why was Zuckerberg never convicted for the actual damage he caused to Harvard's networks? Six months academic probation for actually causing harm, and financial damages...please!! No matter what Mangham's intentions, he didn't cause damage and probably did point out some flaws in the FB network/systems. Which was exactly what Zuckerberg stated to Harvard when he was being questioned about his actions. Zuckerberg being as cocky as he is, thought he should be thanked...but when someone does the same to his network, that person gets actual jail time.
I meant it like taking away a child's favorite toy...as in, America has lost its way in a jungle of made up definitions and beliefs of what being democratic really is and I wish the Chinese would hack us and take away our democratic ideals and values so we can't have them anymore. Certainly not for them to use....as if!
Yes...and Eolas was founded in 1994.
Not to mention, Arpanet was invented in 1968 and patented in 1970, which was followed in 1986, when one LAN branched out to form a new competing network, called NSFnet (National Science Foundation Network). NSFnet first linked together the five national supercomputer centers, then every major university, and it started to replace ARPAnet (which was finally shutdown in 1990). NSFnet formed the backbone of what we call the Internet today.
All of this happened before 1993...so Mr Doyle is giant douche...period.
By evil...do they mean - don't steal personal information and use it to make profits, and don't change security processes without letting the users choose, and don't force users to opt-out of privacy feature "enhancements" in the effort to protect their personal information, and certainly don't call things "privacy enhancements" when the enhancement is actually a way to make more profits from other people's private information.
If memory serves me...when I signed up to Google+, I was asked up front and directly during the sign up process whether I would allow Google to use my personal information to target advertisement while using the site. To me...that is the exact opposite of evil.
I think Mark Suckerberg needs to wake up from this dream he is in.

I have 416 ports installed on my Mac from MacPorts. They all built fine.
What version OS X? What version of XCode? When was the last time you updated or rebuilt your entire base?
