For the longest time, American Express had a password system that only allowed 8 alphanumeric characters and was case-INSENSITIVE.

Moreover, sometimes the AJAX used to submit your payments did not activate, and often, no feedback at all was given if a payment did go through.

This kind of vulnerability seems par for course for their tech team.

> The Italian government has just announced (16.30 CET, 05 October) that it will modify the proposed law to include only large online news websites and that all others (including blogs and Wikipedia entries) will be excluded. This is widely seen as a victory for the Wikipedia campaign.

Seems to me like exactly the outcome the initiators of the law desired. Make an obviously absurd first draft, "tone it down", get it passed and everybody's praising them for their moderation. Meanwhile, it's exactly the "large online news websites" that were targeted.
If country after country adopted this policy, VPNs would be useless. Darknets, on the other hand...

Absolutely, see the recent HideMyAss fiasco. At the same time though, they cannot shut down VPNs nor really monitor them too much -- that would create problems for businesses, and lose votes. Also, even acting at the EU level would leave out "rogue" states; I'm sure lots of ex-soviet states would love nothing better than kickstarting a specialized IT sector. We'll eventually get the internet equivalent of XIX century "free trade ports" around China.

Apple Shares Fall 1% After Death Of Founder Steve Jobs
One could also read this as:

Within the year, of the 650,000 first offenders, there is only a 6.8% recitivism rate. Further, 99.99% of those initial offenders have halted their behavoir before the third strike.

Also, a quick googling also gave me a population for France just over 65 million. Almost 1 out of every 100 people got a piracy warning in the last year. That's... pretty comprehensive.

I was expecting to agree more with the OP here, but this seems to be having either a decent deterrent effect, or the people are getting good at going underground.

This worked for Fedora 14:

# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/adobe-linux-x86_64.repo

[adobe-linux-x86_64]
name=Adobe Systems Incorporated
baseurl=http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/x86_64/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-adobe-linux

# yum install flash-plugin
There are 650,000 people who have been sent the first warning letter.

Only 44,000 have been sent the second.

Only 60 have hit the third strike.

We can't tell from those figures alone whether they all represent people who were genuinely infringing copyright and who really aren't any more.

However, if they are even close, this will have been probably the most effective campaign to defend copyright in recent history, and it will have done it with very little actual damage to anyone, unlike say the lawsuit madness of the US or various recent DRM schemes.

Appsumo experiences massive social backlash after Steve Jobs subject line
Harsh but true. Everyone seems to want to grant him instant sainthood. For instance, CNET's reporter asked Woz if he'd compare Jobs to Einstein or Edison. Steve suppressed rolling his eyes and very diplomatically offered, "No, he was more like Disney. He wasn't a lab guy."

Ultimately, he'll be remembered as the tenacious, aesthetic, ahole who fought, not for form over function exactly, but tightly controlled function wrapped in even more carefully crafted, instantly intuitive form.

I hope history paints a more balanced picture than the eulogies will, this week. Apple is Egypt. Its products are daring monuments, like the pyramids or the sphynx. However much they were inspired, in part, by its Pharaoh prince, Steve Jobs, history shouldn't forget the hordes of sweating engineers and artists that erected those monuments for us all to enjoy.
Hey, at least you tried. You won't be cursed with the nagging thought of what-if-I-did-that-thing-back-then like so many of us. =/

Sounds like they were trying to avoid liability. If you know person X has had his account hijacked, and you do nothing, you're probably liable under some law or another. If you don't know the exact identities involved, you can feign ignorance and probably get away with it.
I was once very close to a server (that was in active use) getting disconnected/wiped by a hosting provider because my CC expired, and their mail to inform me of that got lost.

Only figured that one when the site went offline, didn't come back, and I started bitching at their support.

So I have some sympathy for the CC company being lax with recurring charges on expired cards. Would be a nice service if they went ahead and called you up in such a situation.

Hero;- An entity which is idealized for possessing superior qualities in any field.

It is someone / something that is promoting your company or product, and is a 'hero of the product X' being promoted. Kind of like how, if we mention it to our friends, we become 'heroes of hacker news' ..
I'm not so sure about the origin, but it's commonly used in design/UX to showcase one primary or "Hero" product, and refers to a large space front-and-center above the fold on a page. Think apple's site putting up a huge iPhone image on release day (http://www.sprint.com is another good example).

I think this likely started in physical product sites and the lingo just stuck.
> Hadopi was a failure before it started.

Why? Whatever the criticisms, they seem to have a highly effective strategy.

> Trying to end filesharing is like going after marijuana users, it's a lost war whether you like it or not.

They can't guarantee to end it, any more than making anything illegal guarantees no-one will break the law anyway.

But if they can reduce it significantly, and thus provide a more credible level of protection to copyright holders, then that is still moving in the right direction. It is more in keeping with the law, which in a civilised society is usually a good thing, not least because if the law is bad then effective mass enforcement will make it necessary to fix that law instead of ignoring its flaws and having ordinary citizens risk legal sanctions by breaking it anyway.
Right, thank you. It sounds like it waters down the lay concept of patents, which is "I came up with something truly new and original", and should more like copyright in that it's more about preventing plagiarism.

All of these things (1. + 2. + HD video) have been working for me for a long time. YouTube 1080p content works fine, though I kind of doubt it's using VDPAU, so it's bound to hit the CPU (4x 1.9GHz i5, hardly cutting edge) fairly hard. I'm using the 64bit flashplayer 11 from the sevenmachines ppa.

Is the Telegraph one of those rags that tries to be controversial just to get views? I was (before today) under the impression that they were a reputable paper but they also had to take some shots at Jobs' personal live in his Obituary. What Steve did in his personal life is none of our business. Maybe he did treat someone in his life poorly. That might mean I wouldn't have wanted to be his personal friend, but it doesn't change the fact that Steve literally changed the world.
I'm mainly a Python programmer now but used to use PHP fairly extensively.

Not to mention that that's a trivial security mistake. ActiveRecord makes it very easy to just "read" the id, and ignore whether or not the user actually has access to it, or just guessed the id. Any operation using an id needs to be checking if you actually have rights to the object. Yes it requires an extra SELECT before you UPDATE or an extra condition (my ORM doesn't do that), but it's secure.
The ‘error’ above was pointed out by Maarten Schenk and soon picked up by the mainstream media in Belgium. They point out that if the verdict is taken literally, the ISPs don’t have to block the domains without the www. A massive failure

“It's better to burn out than fade away.” - Neil Young re quoted by Kurt Cobain

"No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet, death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it, and that is how it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life. It's life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new."
- Steve Jobs

Very nice. Most people love Steve for his work at Apple, and rightfully so, but I was always a bigger fan of his work at Next (I'm one of those weirdos who liked Nextstep more than Mac OS X; from a UI perspective).
The operator of the AskAmex account seemed completely clueless on security-related matters. I doubt saying, "visit this URL: https://www.americanexpress.com/?debug=true&heroOverride... would have registered as a problem for her.

AMEX made it incredibly difficult for this guy to report the issue to anyone who had the slightest clue as to its severity. Banging his head against the wall until someone finally clued in would not have fixed that communication issue. Full disclosure just might.

Request for Deoccupization of Wall Street
A few years back, when "Verified by Visa" first came out, I was taken aback the first time I saw it. It's not at all hard to imagine that you're being phished by this strange page.

I called the customer service number for my Visa card and asked if this was a real Visa card "feature". After spending a couple of minutes asking around, nobody knew what the heck it was.

If Visa has a division that takes security seriously, they certainly need to work hard on the customer-facing aspects of it.

The first three Twitter messages by the vulnerability reporter are:

“@AmericanExpress Who can I contact regarding security vulnerabilities in your system? I'm not available through phone, physical mail or fax”

“@AmericanExpress Just to clarify: I have vulnerabilities. This should be "urgent", so no technical support jungle please :-)”

“@AmericanExpress I've been trying to get in touch with AMEX regarding security vulnerabilities in your system for a while. Who do I speak to?”

I think this is not ideally expressive language when you talk to a lay-person representative on Twitter. I believe a better result could be achieved with simpler and clearer language:

“@AmericanExpress I have discovered a serious security issue in your web system (money can be stolen). Please help me report it to someone responsible.”

Erm. These are people who are going far out of their way to draw attention to what they believe are serious problems and try to build momentum for broad action to resolve those problems.

If you think that's a "joke", not really sure what I can say to you.

Similarly, if you think the appropriate response to this is to hand-wave into trying to blame the people who are protesting for the results of, let's face it, massive fraud perpetrated on the world by "certain financial institutions", I have a hard time even beginning to comprehend your worldview.

Absolutely! But people need to vote at every single level from city council to the Presidency, not just once every 4 years for whoever your favorite news stations tells you to.

I personally don't feel bad for or listen to those who refuse to vote.
Whoosh is fast enough for small amounts of data, or when the searches do not need to be performed in realtime. But, I agree, something like Lucene/Solr or Sphinx might be a bit better for indexing large amounts of content (i.e., the provided example of a webcrawler indexing web pages).
But the law is the law, not something very similar. Especially things like court orders.
I did get contacted by a Twitter account after venting there, but after DM'ing (160 characters?!) my request, they couldn't help me either.

They just want the world to be filled with a billion less people, first starting with people who are useless to society such as anyone associated with Wall Street. Of course, none of them will say this, and none of them know they want this, so you get all this incoherent blabber.
They've had similar password stupidities in the past as well, 6char alphanumeric is secure according to amex.

I'm presently having an issue with one of their internal departments who doesn't know how to set up SSH keys rather than some third-party FTPS over HTTPS software using passwords.

The password's nothing amazing but at least they have SSL going on. I'm trying to figure out how to teach them SSH without teaching them how to hurt themselves at the same time.
Good idea! The only concern I have is that you are requiring additional logic checks every time you use it. Have you run any benchmarks to see what kind of performance hit you are getting?

Steve Jobs on Living and Dying (2005)
I use a beta version of Google Chrome (latest 15.0.874.81 beta) from official repo (deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main). I remember it was shipped with Flash, but it worked not as good as I would like it to, so I was using 64-bit betas (not great either, to be honest), IIRC by disabling Chrome's own Flash in about:plugins. Now looking there I see only one Flash plugin, which is the one installed in my system (Location: /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so). So even if Chrome's custom Flash is better, as you imply, dunno how to turn it on for a test ride now.

Also

dpkg --contents google-chrome-beta_15.0.874.81-r103858_amd64.deb | grep -i fl

reveals nothing.

In short. No, it's not. Although our family may get one, even though we have an iPad. Why?

The Kindle Fire is a content monster. Amazon has 18 million content items in their store, and their Amazon Prime streaming library is huge. We're considering ditching Netflix altogether, going to RedBox for new releases, and picking up a Kindle Fire and an $79/year Prime subscription.

My iPad has a ton of productivity apps and a larger screen that makes it great for a general purpose computing device. Yeah, that feels a little crazy to say, but when I travel, it's so much nicer to carry my iPad than it is my 15.4" MacBook Pro. When I'm on the porch and I need to respond to emails, the iPad is what comes with me. I don't see that changing.
