But they have several reasons to call them internet crime
1) But "internet communication based/reliant crimes" is longer to say 2) "internet communication based/reliant crimes" does not really useful for narrowing the subject down 3) It gives idiots who are overly picky about pointless semantics something to bitch about so they can't do any real harm to themselves and others - it's a community service kinda thing.
OK, maybe he didn't/say/ it straight out, but given a couple of lines in the comment, I'm willing to bet pretty good money he did actually give it...
"On a recent call to a company, let's call it Givo, my account number was accidentally wiped from the system. Throughout the process, I spoke with half a dozen representatives who claimed I had never had their service before and at each step I was 'guilty until proven innocent'. What's worse was that at some moments, even when presented with evidence of my case history in their system, representatives would disregard it because the system told them my account did not exist and had never existed."
Given the two bolded sections, especially the second, It's fairly safe to assume he gave them the account number
Probably not, even though you managed to get Givo out of it some how... If you had, you'd realize (please pretend the rest is at all caps, the filter doesn't like it) he had the number, their database had lost it however. He even provided proof of other, prior accessions and transactions that they could verify.
If that were the case, how come so many random boards can boot from devices in PCI slots?
I have an Adaptec SCSI card and an SATA card in one of my machines (the latter because the mobo had a POS Sil 2114 that causes massive dta corruption), and it can boot off of those just fine. They are effectively random hardware dropped into the box, and the machine boots from them (ABit NF7-S v2)
I had another machine that could boot from both devices as well. I don't see why the fact that the controller is not built into the chipset should make it any less bootable.
it is imprecise, not necessarily inaccurate. I had that as early as high school chem, and several times in college as well. Unless you are suggesting they can't do anything by themselves... Which I hope you aren't...
Dont get me wrong, I've no qualms with Windows (I never had a problem with Viriuses and Spyware either), but for most of what I do, BSD is quite a bit better for me. Of the games I play it's only drastically different than windows on two of them
It won't update/install WoW, I have to copy the folder over from Windows. It doesn't crash in Master of Orion III or have the DirectX errors (whereas Windows after the first 2-4 hours of play in a given Windows install- cumulative, not per-session, it gets them every 5 mins...)
I haven't gotten flash to work on my BSD machine...
Aside from a couple games that I can easily live without, I don't miss it. A few sites have intros that can't be viewed, but I skip those anyway because they are annoying wastes of time.
And best of all, I don't have to deal with the lack of a mute button in Flash.
If he keeps it up, he'll start to know the agents...

AMD's New DRM
·
· Score: 3, Interesting
actually, it's an interesting duality there.
AMD, the more obscure of the two (AMD vs. Intel) was usually only picked by the tech-knowledgeable (but by no means had a monopoly on this group), and the indifferents/I-don't-cares typically went to intel
So, while this hurts the AMD fan base, what we are looking at here is ATi related...
In the big GPU vendors, until recently, nVidia was the vendor that didn't get the 'I-don't know or care' crowd, while it was ATi who got that crowed as well as the 'I know and care' crowd. Lately, the 'I don't know or care' crowd has been shuffled over to intel (I won't say they moved, because that could imply their own intent and planning).
So, until recently, this would not have been a bad move for ATi, but as of 2 years ago or so, ATi, like nVidia does tend to get more of it's users from the 'I know and care' crowd.
(A) make the drive itself a bootable install for machines that support USB boot (B) keep a Linux/BSD live CD on hand for those that don't support USB booting
and then there is no need open up machines and you only need to deal with the USB enclosure once.
usb drive: cat/mnt/img_name-* | bunzip2 | dd of=/dev/ad0
Of course, this has the problem that it requires typing out a couple of commands and it does not autoconfigure your machines (so you have to go in and manually make any needed changes), but it's a fairly inexpensive process.
Car: It'll bring a new meaning to the word 'kick-start' or 'jump-start'.
Notebook, well it says natural motion, and it's nano-machine based, so I'm guessing this is just air motion and maybe slight vibration... My notebook won't know what to do with all the power it generates
It is not unreasonable that we would be able to communicate with a type of life other than our own. We may not be able to exist in the same environment, or eat the same foods, but that would simply reduce the likelyhood of wars.
Rather, we would use things like radios or the future equivalent to communicate.

Yes, he must have accidentally logged into their database and deleted his account number.
Sorry, but your post is spoken like someone who has never had a logical thought.
so, basically the JMicrons wont boot because some cheap bastard is too cheap to give them a $5 or less bios?

Very true...
The biggest security risk is shared by all operating systems and hardware setups because it's not part of the computer.
It's the lump of carbon, water, and other trace elements/compounds between the keyboard and the chair.
I sense a possible lack of imagination here. (is that a good enough flame for you?)
Working from home, but needing to carry sensitive data.
Or consultants that have to travel, and carry sensitive documents.
Lots of legal reasons as well.

RTFA and my comment, so that you can understand why I searched for that and why your comment is irrelevant in regards to mine.
Thank you, and have a nice day.
Thanks, I have 2.2.1 and I got:
freetype2 > egrep -ri "cleartype" * | less -S
work/freetype-2.2.1/ChangeLog.20: `ClearType-like' rendering.
so, it doesn't appear to be there either.
I think they should raise the speed limit of light to 100c
(and as that will be too subtle for some, yes, it was a joke).
I did a 'less * | grep ClearType' in several of the directories in the FreeType source tree, and could not find the mentioned files.
Anyone know where they are at?
You are aware that in making that comment, you yourself are a tunnel visonary right?
There are valid reasons to use just about every OS out there, including Windows. Get over yourself.
Wouln't it be easier to
Host the image on a USB drive
(A) make the drive itself a bootable install for machines that support USB boot
(B) keep a Linux/BSD live CD on hand for those that don't support USB booting
and then there is no need open up machines and you only need to deal with the USB enclosure once.
I typically use a live Linux or BSD CD, and then use 'dd'.
/mnt
/mnt/img_name-
/mnt/img_name-* | bunzip2 | dd of=/dev/ad0
if you have a usb drive mounted to
[replace ad0 with hda if using Linux, or the appropriate device if neither]
create image
netcat
image storage: netcat -l -p PORT_NUMBER_HERE | split -b 1073741024 - img_name-
image source: dd if=/dev/ad0 | bzip2 -z -9 | netcat STORAGE_MACHINE_IP PORT_NUMBER_HERE
local USB HD
dd if=/dev/ad0 | bzip2 -z -9 | split -b 1073741024 -
Restoration involves:
netcat
destination machine: netcat -l -p PORT_NUMBER_HERE | dd of=/dev/ad0
image storage: cat img_name-* | bunzip2 | netcat TARGET_IP PORTNUMBER
usb drive:
cat
Of course, this has the problem that it requires typing out a couple of commands and it does not autoconfigure your machines (so you have to go in and manually make any needed changes), but it's a fairly inexpensive process.

Have they found the python? Maybe they think it's a safety hazard?
Personally, I say, it's google, if you haven't found the python, you haven't looked on the computers yet...
a mechanical Steve Balmer throwing chairs and shouting "Developers! Developers! Developers!"?
Oh they care about it.
It improves their economy, especially when they export the pirated items.
It typically brings a net influx of money, without an outflux. So, they care about it allright...
