You can also for free have them set it up so that they do phone authentication when you login from a different IP address.

I noticed the same thing when I got a dashboard update. IMHO, the companies should be able to change their legal policies on the fly -- as long as they are willing to refund you for all of the equipment/software/etc you have purchased if you don't find it acceptable.

Things were looking pretty bad for a while. They had a large number of low pop servers and it really made it feel like you were playing a single player game with a subscription model.

A few months ago they began consolidating servers and it had a significant (beneficial) result in the game. Between that and the implementation of "Group Finder" features, the result is that you have access to a lot more players to do content with which makes for a much nicer levelling and end-game experience.

Our file server cluster is still on hardware (although I do plan on virtualizing it eventually) so I don't have any experience with users running Access off of a virtualized file server, but I find this very surprising. I don't think Access is doing anything "special" with respect to file system access and its hard to imagine why it would behave any differently.

SQL server, Exchange, etc all are running wonderfully.

Logo and Basic (Apple IIE) around 3rd grade was my start as well. :)

Is this journalism or a stealth advertisement?

I'm hoping it isn't the latter because Slashdot editors should know how furious people will be if they ran commercially paid for articles without labeling them as thus (especially ironic given how much coverage this sort of activity gets on Slashdot)

I don't mind seeing information about commercial products that may be interesting to geeks -- but this made me feel dirty.

.. or can we?

I don't like the idea of having my emails, sms, etc downloaded by the police w/o warrant. I know they have some devices that download the contents of your smartphone. If you have a jailbroken iPhone, is there anything you can do to encrypt?

Slashdot has been my daily read since late 90s. I love this site. It must feel incredible to see something you've helped build grow into this.

Agreed. My wife and I have played through every character. I'm not going to say it is the best game ever made, but it has been one of the funnest games to play for us.

I'm not going to cancel my Netflix account, but I am thinking about switching to a cheaper version than I have right now. Right now I have 2 blurays + streaming. I like having access to the streaming, but I don't use it very much. I certainly am not getting $8/month of value from it. I'll probably just end up dropping streaming completely and give them less/month then I used to pay.

I understand that the streaming service is adding to expenses, but they should consider some sort of tiered usage (i.e. so many hours of streaming/month or something) otherwise it just isn't a good enough deal for casuals.

... but the first I think of is the irony that Orwell had it wrong. The govt won't have to force people to install cameras into their homes, we will do it ourselves...

Spats between hackers and international corporations is one thing. When you attack a foreign government, that starts to get awfully close to war which is a matter for governments and not their citizens.

It is also easy to imagine military and intelligence agencies behind these sorts of attacks and hiding behind their citizenry as an excuse.

This sort of thing is going to continue to escalate and I predict that lives will eventually be lost..
