"...as they create a contact bridge between two points when they get electrocuted they release an alarm pheromone," says UT research assistant Edward LeBrun. "The other ants are attracted to the chemicals that other ants give off," he adds.
What kind of survival mechanism is that? "Oh! There's danger over there. Let's all go check it out..."
Do you know what a CEO is?
Now consider that this site has a heavy IT focus...
>that sounds like a big enterprise trun off to need a MS account to get all your updates.
You're right. Maybe we'll get an actual separate download that doesn't require a Microsoft Account for Win8 Pro then (which is what I'm running).
Because they want to catch all those people who weren't tricked into getting Microsoft accounts by the original Windows 8 installer and saw that they could in fact just choose a "local account" and not have something quite so easy for Microsoft to datamine.
I think you're confusing 1700 mhz with 700 mhz .
i see this story as being a GOOD thing, generally speaking. the feds are stumped by my iphone. now the only people we need to cockblock are in cupertino...
No, I'd say this is a bad thing. A back log of getting these requests fulfilled will only be used as justification for there to be a regular law-enforcement back door built into a later version of iOS. "This process is taking too long and Apple is being burdened with fulfilling these requests, if only we had a way of accessing an iPhone ourselves without needing their assistance it would make things easier for all parties when investigating terrorism and child pornography..."
What about our right to bear ARMs?
Unfortunately, on the street bear ARMs lead to bear hugs from shady people now.
Hopefully it's not a password you have used anywhere else.
These people definitely have a copy of the old database, and thus salted password hashes.
Anyone logging in right now is also providing their clear-text password and confirmation if it is the correct password, as well as their IP.
As it was pointed out in the TorrentFreak article comments, you could always choose to pretend you've forgotten your password and have Demonoid reset it. That provides no confirmation the password they had was correct. The password they have would only be useful on other sites that also use one's email address for username, and honestly anyone not using a spam or otherwise not-their-normal email address for registration for this kind of thing deserves to get hacked for their stupidity.
So the Demonoid that was distributing malware was not a fake... so the admins really were sending malicious code to people in an effort to "bring a community back to together"?
And now they want people to trust them?
Bah, the tempo on that performance is weird. Try this.
imagine Microsoft started going around to every business running Windows/Exchange, saying, "Hey, we deserve some of your profits. You're using our products to make money, and it's totally unfair that we don't get a cut." That'd be ridiculous,right? Microsoft offered a product, and you bought it according to their terms. If you think they deserve a percentage simply because you use their product to make money, then where does it end? Why can't 3M come after you for a percentage because you use post-its.
Well they did do something analogous to this when they were doing site licensing. I don't know if they still get away with the practice but at one time they charged a per desktop license fee. Not a per installed copy mind you...they quite literally charged per machine on the premises and it did not matter if it was running a MS product or not.
That's not the same as it only references in-business usage. This would be like Microsoft asking for a percentage of quarterly revenue from your company simply because everyone is using Outlook/Exchange justifying it as the email service helped facilitate business.
Or how about the Ford company asking a taxi fleet for a cut of the per-mile rate because the vehicles are all Ford made, ignoring that the vehicles were all purchased paid in full by the company already.
ISPs only have so much capacity to sell though.
Yes, and like any product when demand exceeds supply you would then invest in your company to increase your ability to fulfill it. It's called "business is going well -- we're expanding".
I can whistle and get a sandwich, now that I'm married.
Sometimes I have to added "sudo" before it, though.
Honestly, Windows 8 is pretty snazzy once you put a start menu on there like Start8 or something. I personally don't like the Classic Shell free ones, but for $5 Start8 is pretty awesome.
What's the difference between the Start8's Start menu and Classic Shell's? Classic Shell can imitate different Windows Start menu styles and you can go in and add/remove/change items individually from the menu.
The new, more obtrusive, more bandwidth hogging ads are coming.
Next will be the increase in frequency and length of ads.
Then the exodus will start.
Then there will probably be a site-wide remake or relaunch to try and get people interested.
By then a new social networking site will be getting hype and half their user will already have an account on it as well.
Then they stop using their Facebook account and start referring people to the other site who contact them on FB.
Then Facebook becomes another ghost ship of abandoned profiles like MySpace.
Thufir's a Harkonnen now.
