I was wondering why I got a busy signal through my DSL router this morning.

It doesn't.

Uh oh, I replied in the same topic (posted just above) as the person I stole the sig from. I didn't see your post until I had hit the submit button. That has to be like crossing the streams.

Google doesn't share the full CC number with retailers, from the Google Checkout Help page.

I didn't Google it and I'm not a lawyer or work with law enforcement. I had this explained to me by the police after a robbery. If the intent is theft you can be charged with burglary; if not, at the least you can be charged with criminal trespass. It may be more complicated, or not, but the bottom line is it's not okay to enter another person's private residence (and it's not limited to private residence) without permission. Blaming someone for having an easily copied key or weak security doesn't and shouldn't imply they are at fault. This is where you original criticism of the victim is weak.

Here is a definition of "Breaking and Entering" from lawyers.com: Breaking and entering. Here is the definition of privilege from the same source. According to that site those definitions are based on the Merriam-Webster Dictionary of Law. Here is another site that discusses burglary in regards to B&E: Burglary.

That would probably depend on your current residence. In the United States it *is* breaking and entering if you enter another person's home without permission whether your door is locked or not.

Your original analogy is shortsighted. Having a simple password is more akin to having an easily copied house key and not permission to enter a domicile. Your condescending belligerent attitude (relax junior) betrays your lack of intelligence and ability to think critically.

I have Java 6 update 19 installed and I get the same error and failed attempt using this link (weird url but it's the one from the TFA): test demo. The author also said the fix wasn't mentioned in the patch notes. Could this vulnerability have been fixed in a previous version and no one actually tested what versions/updates were actually vulnerable before publishing these articles, or did I miss something?

I'm glad it makes you feel better and it was the right thing to do, but it doesn't make me feel better. They knew what they were getting into when they got greedy. They're sorry it turned out badly and they look bad, but not really really that it was inconvenient for their subscribers.

I like DDO too and play sometimes. I'm a LotRO subscriber and the deepest harm they've cause is between them and their subscribers. That can't be undone, but time will probably let people forget and forgive if they don't do something stupid in the meantime.

It's not that they did something stupid, but that they got very greedy and chose to disregard the personal information and possible financial safety of their customers to squeeze out more cash. This isn't some unknown company or practice. It is the same gross scam Facebook flash game companies use to screw players. I don't mind RMT, micro-transactions, subscriptions, or other legitimate business models. Keep them fair and legitimate or face the consequences; in this case a loss of trust and maybe a few subs.

Google will be bundling both Flash and PDF reader with Chrome as internal plug-ins. The user will be able to disable them in the options menu. You can check out the article here at the Google Operation System blog.

This is it exactly. I'm probably somewhere in the market Sony and Microsoft are targeting. My wife and I are in our 40's with a couple young kids. We all have PCs and play games on them. We also have a Wii for playing console games. We have a Blu-Ray player for watching movies. I can't see us "upgrading" to a PS3 or an XBox 360. At

We play Wii games when we want to play arcade style games or play muli-player together. The Wii is fun and the graphics are good. Before we bought the Nintendo we looked at the PS3 and the Xbox. The cost of the hardware and games was a significant factor, but the deal breaker was probably the game selection. The Wii has a lot of titles that are fun for all of us either in single player or multi-player mode.

If Sony and MS make decent motion controllers I'm sure their player base will be happy, as long as the software works well with the controller. You can tell a sucky game because the controls are clunky. For initial release Sony and Microsoft need to make sure the games that support motion work awesome or people will blame the controller.

The thing that makes motion control fun is how you participate in the game. It doesn't matter if you can technically do something with more precision using keyboard sequences on the PC or button sequences on a standard controller. Neither of those give you the feeling motion control does in SW: Force Unleashed, for example, when you pick up your opponent with Force powers, toss them around in the air, and slam them to the ground.

No they didn't.

Windows 7 x64 Home Premium has: Telnet Client, Telnet Server, RIP Listener, and TFTP Client. They are turned off by default for security reasons.

I don't know why they weren't in whatever version you saw, but they haven't been removed.
