Did I miss something in the article? I clicked on a title promising the ruination of SWG and all I found was a guy contributing significant revenue to Sony while providing their players with a service they obviously desired. I understand th

You're absolutely correct - there are a lot of things that get rolled into damage cost estimates that aren't legitimate. I was just trying to explain how it's pretty easy for the actual & legitimate costs to be quite high as well.

Costs in hacking cases are mostly measured by time spent investigating & repairing * fully loaded employee costs. If you have to dump a bunch of servers and reload everything and audit your backups the costs rise very quickly.

They should have burned the midnight oil and made sure the same problem wasn't prevalent in other parts of the code. I understand that's the feeling here, but it's unrealistic. I've reported dozens of bugs to shops that ranged in size fro

I thought there were two different issues, though not being a rails jockey I could easily be mistaken. Even if it was disclosed four days before it was exploited I stand by my take if not my terminology.

Jesus, HN goes from zero to lynch mob faster than reddit these days. Guy drops a zero day on a major service provider, guy gets his account suspended (temporarily, it turns out). In what possible world is disabling an account that has recen

I've been curious what accounts for variation between ddg serps and bing serps for the same terms aside from the zero click and ads. Does bing personalization account for the differences, or do partners like ddg have the opportunity to infl

It does if all you're doing is singling out one specific participant and ignoring all other examples. Because then it becomes clear that you are just looking for either a good reason to trash that party or rush to the defense of the aggriev

Is the definition of lobbyist different in Europe? Is the Pirate MP just not subjected to lobbyists otherwise or is this just mock outrage? It is very hard for me to believe this kind of anti-competitor lobbying doesn't go on all the time a

vzw at least is quite fast, but I believe they both throttle heavy users.

Nope - they don't have an administrator account and installing unsupported software isn't allowed. You can't really manage or secure a sizable number of seats without those rules.

Pretty sure there is a default port that accepts connections as part of bitcoind, so you can just portscan for it.

Participating in this platform as a 3rd party sounds like the 2012 equivalent of inviting 1990's microsoft into your product meetings as part of "preliminary M&A" talks. Why bother guessing which games are the best to clone when you can

If you'd been on sprint lately you'd know it's because the whole 3g network performs like it's throttled.

It’s 2012. Practically everyone who’s paying for software is doing so through an app store: one click or tap and you’ve got what you want. Practically everyone buying software for mobile or from Apple? In the rest of the world almost no d

People mostly hate change, and metro gnome shell and unity all represent that. Why did people like Engadget go from hating Vista to loving Vista SP1 aka Win7? They had gotten used to it and microsoft gave them a good excuse to change their

I'm curious about b2g's security model but I haven't been able to find much of substance about it. Currently I'm pretty sure if you beat gecko you own any firefox tab that's open. Does that mean if you beat it on the phone you own the whole

I don't really understand what you're saying, but the odds are that they won't have any takers for the $60k and $40k prizes based on previous event history. And I doubt people will bother to break flash and the plugin sandbox over 50 separa

Between lobbyists, interest groups, the executive branch, staff attorneys, various agencies and congressional staff I doubt even a significant minority of law is written by actual legislators.

I'm not sure I feel strongly about either side of the discussion, but just to be clear you're saying you think it would be "an overwhelmingly bad idea to [create ebay]"?

Pretty poor reporting from the NYT. Amazon isn't "under pressure" from wall street to up their margins, they actually enjoy quite a premium valuation. And Amazon doesn't use cheap ebooks to drive sales of their kindles, it's the exact oppos

Wouldn't any traditional outlet use the phrase "released on bail" or similar? Released from prison is typically only used after a sentence has been served or overturned.
