That won't work for this particular attack surface, because cPanel installs Apache itself and doesn't use a package manager. As far as rpm is concerned, Apache isn't installed to verify.
Washington AG Slams T-Mobile Over Deceptive 'No-Contract' Ads 371
zacharye writes "Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson on Thursday ordered UNcarrier T-Mobile to correct 'deceptive advertising that promised consumers no annual contracts while carrying hidden charges for early termination of phone plans.' T-Mobile, which recently did away with standard cell phone service contracts and typical smartphone subsidies, is accused of misleading consumers by advertising no-contract wireless plans despite requiring that customers sign an agreement that makes them responsible for the full cost of their handsets should they cancel service prematurely ..."

The building was constructed with certain building materials and laid out so that it blocked all wireless radio frequencies in and out of the building - especially cellular traffic. If that is not illegal, I don't see how cellular jamming wouold be illegal.
Think of it like this. Suppose you're worried about intruders on your property. It's perfectly legal to put up a 10 foot tall fence topped with concertina wire, build your walls out of 5 foot thick concrete, and place some angry rottweilers around the perimeter. But it's not legal to erect a couple of rotating Gatling guns firing rounds out from the property to keep people away.

Nope, they haven't removed the app from users who already had it installed. It still works just fine for existing users, but nobody new can download it. I'm really sort of torn on this - Apple has the right to enforce its guidelines, and it appears that AppGratis technically violated the letter of the law. But did they violate the spirit? I guess Groupon and a number of others should be pulled, too, because they send out the push-messages each day as well...

Only one technology can deliver that: Nuclear power.
Which is why I was surprised to see that they're going to deploy this laser on the Ponce, an Austin-class ship with 4 diesel turbines. I figured they'd have chosen a nuclear vessel.

Microsoft Apologizes For Cavalier 'Always-Online' DRM Tweets 236
Adam Orth, creative director of Microsoft Studios, on Thursday tweeted that "doesn't get" objections to DRM schemes that require always-on internet connection to play console games. An anonymous reader writes "Microsoft on Friday released an official statement regarding the tweets: 'We apologize for the inappropriate comments made by an employee on Twitter yesterday. This person is not a spokesperson for Microsoft, and his personal views do not reflect the customer centric approach we take to our products or how we would communicate directly with our loyal consumers. We are very sorry if this offended anyone, however we have not made any announcements about our product roadmap, and have no further comment on this matter.'" I can't help reading those tweets in the voice of Sterling Archer.

I found 8.8.8.8, 4.2.2.4 etc. on there, which I'm hoping are set up responsibly. But I don't know of a "known bad" resolver to scan and see if the results come out differently.

I see that the Open Resolver Project has a tool to scan for offending servers in your IP space, but it doesn't explain what the results indicate. I'm guessing that an RCODE value of 0 means you're not part of the problem?

The girl involved in the Steubenville rape case I mentioned in my previous post was threatened with death and physical harm on social media for the 'harm' she was doing to the local football team by pursuing charges.
And many of these threats were made by girls, two of whom were subsequently charged for it.
