Actually, women nine times more likely to kill men than sharks.   Grin
Look, let's be reasonable here.

We hunt deer, we prefer to kill the bucks.

Sharks hunt human meat, they kill men.

Come on.....
Look at all the fur coats. Women are the root cause.
Sharks hunt human meat, they should kill women.  Grin

A cyber bar between US and North Korea - If US wins it will be a  Pyrrhic victory.
USA has many vulnerable targets available to be exploited by North Korean Hackers while US hackers has very few targets to hit inside North Korea.

The US can quickly escalate a cyber war into a military war. North Korea will be mindful of that.
In the Sony case, the US government has said that all options are open.

We are on the verge of a huge bubble... buy today or cry later  Cry

i also think that a bubble is imminent, maybe not as a big as the one of 2013, but something that will recover the price

A recovery to the previous ATH would be nice.  Smiley

I didn't mean that they faked the hack, only that not releasing the movie might be a publicity stunt. Trying to make the best of the situation. But as you and others said, even doing that cost them and cinema chains a lot of reputation, so that doesn't seem the case. But I doubt North Korea was behind this. Too much of a convenient scapegoat.

The retaliation seems to be at North Korea. Internet was down for quite some time in Korea.

I think bitcoin is trolling us and is gonna do what is least expected. When everybody shout they are expecting the price to go up it usually goes down, just like when people were saying it will retest $275 it didn't Smiley

Everybody has been saying that bitcoin will explode in a few years.
Hope at least that comes true.

First of all, your premise is mistaken and in error.  By taking the most advanced civilization of 2000 years ago, not "the average".  Even with that comparison, Africa has cars, mobile phones, computers, which Rome did not.
none of those cars phones and computers were invented by africans

the truthful but unpolitically correct answer is that africa is in the state its in because it is inhabited by lower grade races with lower intelligence than whites and asians who aren't capable of running proper societies and providing for their own needs. even when civilisation is handed to them on a plate such as in rhodesia and south africa they still go back to their savage ways and turn it to shit.

Colonization was one reason why Africa has historically been poor.
Indigenous looters have now replaced colonial looters.

USA sanctions against Cuba have 50 years history  now, who will know what will be with sanctions against Russia

Cuba is a small country. The USA was not bothered by such a small market being excluded. Russia is way different.

There are suggestions that the movie halls didn't want to screen it and Sony took the flak for acceding to their request and not releasing the film.

1755  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Sony Leaks Reveal Hollywood Is Trying To Break DNS (internet killing solution) on: December 18, 2014, 10:32:14 AM



Most anti-piracy tools take one of two paths: they either target the server that's sharing the files (pulling videos off YouTube or taking down sites like The Pirate Bay) or they make it harder to find (delisting offshore sites that share infringing content). But leaked documents reveal a frightening line of attack that's currently being considered by the MPAA: What if you simply erased any record that the site was there in the first place? To do that, the MPAA's lawyers would target the Domain Name System that directs traffic across the internet.

The tactic was first proposed as part of the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in 2011, but three years after the law failed in Congress, the MPAA has been looking for legal justification for the practice in existing law and working with ISPs like Comcast to examine how a system might work technically. If a takedown notice could blacklist a site from every available DNS provider, the URL would be effectively erased from the internet. No one's ever tried to issue a takedown notice like that, but this latest memo suggests the MPAA is looking into it as a potentially powerful new tool in the fight against piracy.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is Hollywood a mortal danger to the internet? If they can break it, what then? Can they use those tools to erase websites that are deemed too critical to them then? When is this going to stop?




Trying to get every DNS provider to agree to this would be very, very tough.

2015 can't be as bad as 2014.
As somebody who discovered Bitcoin in 2014, I sincerely hope a recovery is imminent.

To add to that, the Grand Imam of Australia condemned the siege as soon as it began.
