first location, Sandusky, Ohio, at Cedar Point amusement park. in 1993, I was working for a company building atm-like machines to sell tickets at venues like Cedar Point. I had to do some emergency maintenance, so I was inside the machine with the monitor turned around so I could use the internal computer. In this configuration, it looked a little like a trash can, and I would routinely have stuff thrown in on me. Worst was a half-eaten ice cram cone landing in my lap.

Second location, the Tito Barracks in Sarajevo, Bosnia, in 1996, just after the war ended. I was working as a contractor for the U.S. State Department, and we were setting up a system to keep track of the progress removing landmines - a process still going on today. We were still writing the system as the hardware (and trailers) were being set up in the barracks courtyard, with landmines surrounding us! I spent a total of two months there over two trips. I wrote about it and posted pics a while back on facebook:

Which explains why guns are pretty useless for self-defense, as it takes way long than a second to get your gun out, load it, disable any safety, and aim it remotely accurately.

Not really. Maybe a LITTLE longer, but not much more for the average person (I shoot competitively but I'm at best average and my time from draw to fire is between 1.5 and 1.75 seconds).

Some particularly good shooters can get a LOT faster. Bob Vogel recently had a Youtube video during which he managed to get in a draw, removal of manual safety, fire, RELOAD, and then a second shot off in 0.97 seconds.

"Secret" 3G Intel Chip Gives Snoops Backdoor PC Access

vPro processors allow remote access even when computer is turned off

Paul Joseph Watson | Infowars.com | September 26, 2013

http://www.infowars.com/91497/

Intel Core vPro processors contain a "secret" 3G chip that allows remote disabling and backdoor access to any computer even when it is turned off.

Although the technology has actually been around for a while, the attendant privacy concerns are only just being aired. The "secret" 3G chip that Intel added to its processors in 2011 caused little consternation until the NSA spying issue exploded earlier this year as a result of Edward Snowden's revelations.

In a promotional video for the technology, Intel brags that the chips actually offer enhanced security because they don't require computers to be "powered on" and allow problems to be fixed remotely. The promo also highlights the ability for an administrator to shut down PCs remotely "even if the PC is not connected to the network," as well as the ability to bypass hard drive encryption.

"Intel actually embedded the 3G radio chip in order to enable its Anti Theft 3.0 technology. And since that technology is found on every Core i3/i5/i7 CPU after Sandy Bridge, that means a lot of CPUs, not just new vPro, might have a secret 3G connection nobody knew about until now,"reports Softpedia.

Jeff Marek, director of business client engineering for Intel, acknowledged that the company's Sandy Bridge" microprocessor, which was released in 2011, had "the ability to remotely kill and restore a lost or stolen PC via 3G."

"Core vPro processors contain a second physical processor embedded within the main processor which has it's own operating system embedded on the chip itself," writes Jim Stone. "As long as the power supply is available and and in working condition, it can be woken up by the Core vPro processor, which runs on the system's phantom power and is able to quietly turn individual hardware components on and access anything on them."

Although the technology is being promoted as a convenient way for IT experts to troubleshoot PC issues remotely, it also allows hackers or NSA snoops to view the entire contents of somebody's hard drive, even when the power is off and the computer is not connected to a wi-fi network.

It also allows third parties to remotely disable any computer via the "secret" 3G chip that is built into Intel's Sandy Bridge processors. Webcams could also be remotely accessed.

"This combination of hardware from Intel enables vPro access ports which operate independently of normal user operations," reports TG Daily. "These include out-of-band communications (communications that exist outside of the scope of anything the machine might be doing through an OS or hypervisor), monitoring and altering of incoming and outgoing network traffic. In short, it operates covertly and snoops and potentially manipulates data."

Not only does this represent a privacy nightmare, it also dramatically increases the risk of industrial espionage.

The ability for third parties to have remote 3G access to PCs would also allow unwanted content to be placed on somebody's hard drive, making it easier for intelligence agencies and corrupt law enforcement bodies to frame people.

"The bottom line? The Core vPro processor is the end of any pretend privacy," writes Stone. "If you think encryption, Norton, or anything else is going to ensure your privacy, including never hooking up to the web at all, think again. There is now more than just a ghost in the machine."

Yes. Read this https://www.facebook.com/notes... Realize that they thought this was a good idea. Facebook's development practices don't particularly impress me.

Big deal. Courtney love says she found it, too. I think her diagram might be even better.

On 120% being a strawman:
Hawaii solar boom so successful, it's been halted, Dec 20, 2013:

On Oahu, 10 percent of utility customers will have rooftop solar by year-end, Rosegg said. That compares with California, where it is 2 to 3 percent, he said. And demand for new connections for PV has been heavy.
The new edict for Oahu mostly focuses on grid circuits where power available from rooftop solar reaches or exceeds 100 percent of the minimum daytime load, the low point of the total power that customers on a circuit are using.
About one-fourth of circuits on Oahu are at 100 percent, Rosegg said. At the current rate of adoption, Harris said, all electrical circuits controlled by the utility could be closed to small-scale solar within six months.
Changes could include adding grounding transformers or increasing the capacity of a substation, Rosegg said.

Combine the above statements with the power company allowing 120% Daytime Minimum Load(DML) that I found earlier, how long will it be before substations are seeing that 120%? Don't forget that commercial companies can install solar panels as well. I drive by that building fairly frequently, and it's not the only one with solar panels.
Another NREL study on Hawaii's issues, detailing technical information on WHY they're concerned.

So EFF, EU and Senate investigations into Google's privacy practices are non-existent and considering that Google is now one of the biggest lobbying concerns in DC I guess that it still can do no evil? Sorry the information is out there, like ignoring "Do Not Track" does anybody remember that one? It's pretty bad when Facebook even calls Google out for ignoring it. Oh wait, how about Google Buzz and the consent decree that went along with that? Sorry Google is a business and the business model it has is to mine users of its services by what they do, who they communicate with and where they go in the world. That's why I opt out, remove their shit and avoid it as much as possible and don't fucking trust little click boxes that presumably turn things off. Do Not Track in Chrome for example is one of those check boxes that didn't work. Today, quite honestly, I fear more from Google than I do the NSA because at least I have elected representatives that I can go after for that problem with NSA and privacy even with the slim chance that I may be able to change what the NSA does. With Google I have a CEO who thinks "If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place." That myopic, retarded view of privacy is what's at the heart of why I'm anti-Google because it permeates everything that Google owns or produces. So blithely saying "we don't do that" doesn't cut it because as long as my elected officials, the EU, the EFF and the ACLU are worried about Google, then so am I.

Goatse? This topic certainly deserves a reductio ad absurdum response." Even the most inexperienced newbie should be able to land a golf ball in a hole the size of a medium pizza. Maybe they should have instructiors like this kid: Four Year Old Scores Hole in One

I don't know about that...

Cloudflare said on their wall on Facebook that they were going to leave the site up, as a means of checking how browsers deal with revoked certs: https://www.facebook.com/Cloud... So Firefox is probably doing the right thing here. Last time I looked, Chrome didn't display any warning. Which is nice.

It seems to me that it is reasonable to say that Service Pack 3 for Windows XP finally made the OS a somewhat finished product. Service Pack 3 of Windows XP was released on May 6, 2008. By that measure, Windows XP is 6 years old.

This is just nutty. And please, tell us again about how your article makes all the crazy seem reasonable.

(sorry for the duplicated posting; the previous one was cut because of problems with the html marks)

In order to obtain a 90% reduction in the energy bill, cooling must account for 90% of the power of the DC. This implies a PUE >= 10. As a reference, 5 years ago virtually any DC had a PUE lower than 3. Nowadays, PUE lower than 1.15 can be obtained easily. As a referecence, Facebook publishes the instantaneous PUE of one of its DC in Prineville, which at the moment is 1.05. This implies that any savings in cooling would reduce the bill, at much, in a factor of 1.05 (1/1.05 = 0.9523).

On the other hand, I believe that this is not the first commertial offer for a liquid-cooled server, Intel was already considering two years ago, and the idea has been discussed in other forums for several years. I can't remember right now which company that was actually selling these solutions, but I believe it was already in the market.

You doubtless used the deactivation feature, not the deletion feature. The former is the default, and Facebook doesn't go out of their way to advertise the existence of the latter, but it's there and you can take advantage of it. I've tried to log into my account with my old password, no dice, and "forgot password" doesn't work either when I provide my e-mail address.

Of course, that isn't to say that they don't still have copies of my data floating around, though their data use policy seems to suggest they really do delete most of it: When you delete your account, it is permanently deleted from Facebook. It typically takes about one month to delete an account, but some information may remain in backup copies and logs for up to 90 days. You should only delete your account if you are sure you never want to reactivate it. You can delete your account at: https://www.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form=delete_account Certain information is needed to provide you with services, so we only delete this information after you delete your account. Some of the things you do on Facebook aren’t stored in your account, like posting to a group or sending someone a message (where your friend may still have a message you sent, even after you delete your account). That information remains after you delete your account.

Facebook explicitly says they do not allow you to delete your account.

I left Facebook a few months ago and specifically requested deletion, not deactivation. There was a 14 day waiting period, during which time I could log back into my account and reset the clock, but supposedly at the end of those 14 days my account was gone for good. From what I can tell they still allow you to do this: "If you don't think you'll use Facebook again, you can request to have your account permanently deleted. Please keep in mind that you won't be able to reactivate your account or retrieve anything you've added."

Frankly leaving social media was the best thing I ever did. It's a bit of a PITA with regards to those friends who seemingly only know how to communicate via FB, but even they eventually came around and started calling, texting, or e-mailing me. Only one of my friends really whined about it, because she doesn't have a cell and can't text, but she eventually got used to e-mailing me.

Yeah, right there you have the biggest problem with yahoo.

It's not only Yahoo. Facebook reportedly has a similar "verification" process to enable extra privileges, and some sites using Facebook login require this verification, such as AOL's The Huffington Post. So does Google, where the privileges include Gmail and uploading longer videos to YouTube.

Yes, I guess Abrash really dropped the ball when he didn't do his due diligence on what language the parent company of the VR company he just accepted a job at build their website in!!!@@@

What an odd piece of techno-elitist whining. For what it's worth, Facebook's engineering acumen can be seen in some of the software they've released, including the Hiphop VM for PHP as well as the recently announced Facebook Hack. They have contributed to a huge variety of OSS ( https://code.facebook.com/proj... ) - and things like the OpenComputer project ( http://www.opencompute.org/).

The scale alone of Facebook is an impressive engineering feat. That is entirely the point of Abrash's post, really.

13 is old enough.

Unfortunately, you have a saying in that. Well, not unless you don't have any friends, which may not even save you depending on where you live. Well, I suppose you could always move to Ecuador....

Fluke made a very generous offer to help SparkFun out, even though they didn't have to. This is FLuke's response to SparkFun: https://www.facebook.com/notes... I have been using Fluke products for years and used Beckman Industrial test equipment before that. In all the years I have used Fluke products I have never had more reliable test equipment. They didn't cause the seizure of those meters for SparkFun. The US Customs and Border protection did supporting a legitimate trademark filed years before. I'm not going to debate the details of the trademark. I've seen too much nit-picking over the last few days from people who aren't in a position to have to defend their brand/product from knock-offs. I think Fluke's response was very generous and in light of all the negativity directed at them for no good reason I would say that was a very nice gesture. It reinforces my respect for the company as a maker of high-quality test equipment and a supporter of the maker community and the industry that uses their products.

Ok then is it hacking if I open http://facebook.com/Some.Rando...

what makes it hacking or not? if theres a direct link on other page?

Nope. That NYT piece seems to have forgotten about the initial statement from Malaysia Airlines, which said the last time of contact with flight 370 was at 2:40am:
https://www.facebook.com/my.ma...
That was before the Malaysian authorities went into full denial mode and claimed last contact was at 01:20am. The 02:40 time was inconsistent with their estimated "crash site" in the Gulf of Thailand, which was one of the initial sources of confusion. However, 02:40am turned out to be the exact time of last military radar contact which they were forced to confirm more than 5 days later. Additionally, there were the "small" details that two transponder systems were turned off one after another more than 10 minutes apart, and that the ACARS system was turned off before the last voice contact with the pilots.
In order to fit all these facts into a theory of stupidity, you'd have to accept that: 1. an unidentified flying object the size of a 777 can just fly across the width of Malaysian airspace (more than 1 hour of flight time) at cruising altitude without being noticed by the Malaysian military 2. that 02:40am time from Malaysian Airline's initial statement just turned out to match the time of last military radar contact by complete coincidence 3. nobody noticed the time descrepancies between the two transponder systems turning off.
This is clearly beyond the realm of incompetance, and can only be explained with a touch of malice. The Malaysian authorities knew from the beginning what was going on, but was more concerned with the possible liabilities and damages to their "image" resulting from a rogue pilot, than with actually finding the plane. With wanton disregard for the 239 lives on board and their relatives on the ground, they knowingly misled the international community on a wild witch hunt across the Gulf of Thailand, delaying the search for at least five crucial days, thereby eliminating any possiblity of finding survivors (if the plane had ultimately crashed), and quite possibly lowering the likelihood of finding the cockpit recorders to near zero.

Plus I'm not sure what the cost of going to FB is ?

I think they would prefer to be hounded by those, as opposed to the NRA. If the recent events have shown anything, it's that anti-gun petitions and demonstrations are significantly less numerous than pro-gun ones - simply because most people who are vaguely for stricter gun control don't care all that much about it (not enough to get their ass off the chair and do something, basically), while a significant proportion of gun owners will treat gun control as a very serious issue and are willing to invest a considerable amount of time and money fighting against it.

Heck, it's a very simple number game even on Facebook itself. The biggest pro-gun lobby/propaganda org is, doubtlessly, the NRA. The two most prominent anti-gun lobby/propaganda orgs are Mayors Against Illegal Guns and Moms Demand Action. So, looking at their Facebook pages:

Farmers in California grow a lot of rice which requires a lot of water. Most places that grow rice have lots of water. In California, even in "normal" years, there is no rain in the summer (dry season) so they have extensive dams and canals paid for by state and federal taxpayers which provide them lots of cheap water. This year, there is a drought so the reservoirs are dry and the farmers are whinging seriously about "their" water.https://www.facebook.com/pages/%D8%A7%D9%81%D8%B6%D9%84-%D8%B4%D8%B1%D9%83%D8%A9-%D9%83%D8%B4%D9%81-%D8%AA%D8%B3%D8%B1%D8%A8%D8%A7%D8%AA-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D9%8A%D8%A7%D9%87-0566398004/211510419029158 http://remas2010.ucoz.net/inde... http://remas2010.ucoz.net/inde... http://remas2010.ucoz.net/foru... http://elenjaaz.blogspot.com/2... http://elenjaaz.blogspot.com/2... http://elenjaaz.blogspot.com/2... http://elenjaaz.blogspot.com/2... http://elenjaaz.blogspot.com/2... http://elenjaaz.blogspot.com/2... http://elenjaaz.blogspot.com/2... http://elenjaaz.blogspot.com/2... http://elenjaaz.blogspot.com/2... http://elenjaaz.blogspot.com/2... http://elenjaaz.blogspot.com/2... http://elenjaaz.blogspot.com/2... http://elenjaaz.blogspot.com/2... http://elenjaaz.blogspot.com/2... http://elenjaaz.blogspot.com/2... http://elenjaaz.blogspot.com/2... https://www.facebook.com/pages... https://www.facebook.com/pages... https://www.facebook.com/pages...

An Open Letter to Wacom,

Re: Drivers that don't drive properly, and are welded shut so as to be unfixable for whoever has the misfortune to need to use them.

Dear Wacom,

When I plug my Bamboo into my Linux laptops, it works perfectly every time. It does not, however, work at all properly on my mac, and isn't moving the mouse at all on this Windows 7 64bit laptop despite it having worked in the past, no new drivers having been installed, and Windows 7 saying the driver was successfully installed.

Please investigate how the Free Software community was able to write a working driver, hit your driver developers over the head with a clue-stick or other relevant therapy, and consider having open source (BSD licensed or weaker) Windows drivers---from which open source and Free Software drivers can be developed, maintained and debugged independently---written from scratch following advice of the Free Software community (but not copying code itself) and released under a BSD-style open source without restrictions license.

Since I cannot trust Wacom products to work on my Mac, nor on my Windows laptops, and my £200 Corel Painter software doesn't have a Linux version, I cannot justify the cost of an Intuos Pro no matter how much I love the idea if digital painting, and the philosophy of what was Fractal Design's Painter.

That I cannot trust Corel Painter to try to kick it's twice-a-day crash habit, means I can't trust it either.

Krita is a nice idea, but is at least a year or so from being production ready, and Gimp is not really a digital painting product, but a General Image Manipulation Program, so that is no substitute either.

You can put part of the blame on Microsoft for the driver issue for having such a stupid USB driver model, but you are the fools for actually trying to code to said broken model.

Yours wondering-when-Ableton-Suite-and-Reaper-and-all-my-VSTs-will-be-available-on-Linux-and-I-can-ditch-Windows-compeletly-ly,

An "account" has a name, mobile phone number,* e-mail address, and password. Each account can be the maintainer of one or more "pages" separate from the account's own timeline.

* Not all accounts have the mobile phone number filled in, but several Facebook privileges are off limits to users who have not verified ability to receive SMS at a particular number that is globally unique among Facebook users.

Mann referred to himself as a Nobel prize recipient - which the IPCC has stated he's not allowed to do. Why are you posting obvious falsehoods in his defence throughout this thread?

Care to elucidate what these falsehoods were? Are you saying the sequence I described (That is, some denialists mistook a certificate that Michael Mann had on display for a Nobel peace prize, claimed it was fake, only later to find it wasn't a Nobel Peace prize, but a real certificate he really received from the IPCC, thanking him for his contributions to winning the Nobel Peace Prize) did not actually occur?

Dr. Mann is a climate scientist whose research has focused on global warming. In 2007, along with Vice President Al Gore and his colleagues of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize

He WAS awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, along with Vice President Al Gore and his colleagues of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

It is one thing to engage in discussion about debatable topics. It is quite another to attempt to discredit consistently validated scientific research through the professional and personal defamation of a Nobel prize recipient.

Presumably this was written by a legal counsel, not by Mann himself. Perhaps he had an opportunity to correct the wording and didn't, when he should have. Perhaps not.

Notably, this piece of paper, which appears to the heart of your concern, was tested via an appeal against the lawsuit in question. The appeal was thrown out, because Steyns lawyers admitted it had no substance: see here.

Accordingly, your own argument is spurious and without substance.

PS: I'm also a "Nobel laureate" if Mann is:

A peace prize made possible by the people has now been passed on to the people. The EU won the 2012 Nobel Peace Prize, but the European Parliament believes this honour belongs to everyone. During a special ceremony in Strasbourg, the prize was symbolically handed over to 20 citizens of different ages and nationalities to represent the people of Europe.

Well, this is a matter of discussion between yourself and the Nobel Peace Prize committee.

Actually, his original lawsuit introduced a complaint for defaming a Nobel Prize Recipient. Legally, he made that claim. Hell, his FaceBook post about the suit still describes him as a co-recipient.

Is [receiving SMS] really the only way to verify a facebook account?

It appears so according to Facebook's help page.

You can tell I don't have one

I have no Facebook account either. I graduated and lost my college e-mail in 2003, before there was a Facebook.

Not trying to be that guy, just never saw the need for the most expensive way to send messages

The major U.S. cellular carriers are starting to include unmetered voice minutes and unmetered SMS with every contract plan for a smartphone.

Did anyone bother to read the ToS? There is not much private about these social network sites. If you read what you're getting into you wouldn't go anywhere near the place to begin with. How can someone sue someone else over something they willing agreed to by creating an account on the site? You would have to be irrepressibly stupid, or have the dumbest lawyer(s) on the planet!
