One thing is for sure this problem will not be fixed on the /. forums. Try theses

Ya this has been going on for years in the US. they gave up mostly because loosing the PC warrantee was just to great a loss. They wanted the manufactures to honor the PC warrantee after reformatting and installing a unsupported OS "Linux" lol didn't happen. This ruling is just dumb and not well thought out. but that's the only friendly market they "Linux" have, the EU.

Seems they have a few unhappy customers

I've never had my passwords guessed. They have been given away by the likes of Target,Wallmart,Sony,Facebook,EA, and the long long list I don't even know. 1 brute force attempts must be blocked period end of story. Any business who has customer data in an unencrypted formatte when stolen..opps Given away, must be fined 50 million dollars per customer data stolen..opps given away. You laugh at 50 million I am however not laughing. its time to get serious

I believe they don't want to stop it that will stop them from doing things they already know they shouldn't be. Im with you take the toys from the scriptkiddies tool box

Something is so very wrong with a web site or software program that allows any kinda brute force password cracking attempts. How many times can I type in a guess to a web site I might have forgotten the password too? Its way less then 10 in 1 minutes time I can tell you that.

Thanks, I would never ever figured that out in a million years.

Please share, wtf is a SJWs ???

just because I am a /. member doesn't mean I know every abbreviations nor should posters think everyone knows them. Just a pet peeve I have man don't take it personal.

But its not morally wrong to fire people and replace them with robots who don't do anything except make the owner almost 100% pure profit? There's nothing morally wrong there in your mind? IMO robots should only do jobs that are almost 100% going to kill a human worker. Our society depends on wages earned robots don't earn anything They put people out of work that's is bad for a society that depends on wages ours. they make the owners far more profits that is morally wrong IMO.

I don't use self check out lines. They haven't lowered any prices in fact the prices have steadily increased.And smaller box sizes higher prices. Self checkout means Free labor for your supermarket. I don't work for free. I will say I will never use a drive through I have to click buttons for no fn way. Wondering when the public is going to say this is enough. Isn't the food industry soposta supply us with food, not less food for higher profits? Give the consumer less charge more force consumer to buy 2 because the box size was lowered.

And your world without rules and boundaries would be? We already have prisons full of people who think they can do just what the hell they want.

Are you really asking that question because you don't really know the answer or because you don't really like the answer? Im guessing a stripper who is at work would expect that to be said to her. But how about the women going about her own business? You dont know.

Im betting women would love to switch from being sexually harassed and stalked to just being called names like dike. Come on man, what we men have to deal with is on a whole different level and men do it to your face as much as they do it online.

"Quote"In broad trends, the data show that men are more likely to experience name-calling and embarrassment, while young women are particularly vulnerable to sexual harassment and stalking."End Quote"

That's a misunderstanding. that's a whole lever of different.
