It's kind of hard to recommend a $650 phone versus a $100 tablet. The N810 is about $200 on ebay, and you can run Mer on it which is a combination of Ubuntu and Maemo if you want. I just stuck with the OS2008 version of Maemo for now myself. N900 is a lot of fun though, there's a lot of apps available already and the OpenGL ES 2 looks promising.
That only works on a KILLER's ip address. I have this one written in visual cobol, but I haven't been able to figure out what country uses the 359.x ip address range yet.
try searching for something like VelociRaptor "raid 5" iometer velociraptor is a 10,000k drive so it should approximate performance of any high-end 1-2tb desktop drive even if the review is old
I tried typing a more descriptive title but it doesn't allow very many characters. I figured most people here are interested in high performance rather than best value, and this article shows these new drives have better performance(*) than the Intel and Corsair Nova drives highly rated by the original article... So when I say it's a better article because it's reviewing things with better performance, maybe I'm not being fair. But I don't think many people would have a chance to read this article if I didn't write some sensationalist headline to go with it. Anyways, we should give the article writer some credit for reviewing these so quickly, he only got the thing in the mail 2 days ago!
Better because it examines the performance of a new controller series from SandForce which beats the performance of these ones by using lossless compression to write less data.
okay, what? The parent I'm replying to was talking about the bios disabling it on a supported CPU. I suppose you can say Intel and AMD "disabled" this on some of their chips too, but that obviously isn't what we're talking about when we say "disabled by default in the bios"...
it's not the chip, it's up to the motherboard manufacturer and bios programmer (AWARD, AMI, etc) to set these defaults correctly. My AMD 965 had it disabled by default. Maybe the motherboard would have enabled it if it detected an opteron chip, but I doubt it.
For systems that are destined for a server role (and for only these systems), enable the virtualization extensions. The threat of running malicious code as an administrator on servers is reduced through Windows Server policies and organizational best practices.
For systems that are destined for a client role, disable (and lock off) the virtualization extensions.
For systems that might be deployed in either a server or client role (such as high-end workstations), it would be prudent to disable the extensions by default.
I can see true automatic search engines like newzleech.com and binsearch.info being able to use this "we are just a search engine" defense, but NewzBin apparently uses humans to create the index. Stupid, and also an obvious step towards supporting piracy...
I would suggest asking makers of control panel software to include your CMS. One-click installs are a good way to tempt people to try out your CMS. Didn't check what type of server environment you need to be running, but just do some research on different control panel software and try to help them make your CMS available to their users. Plesk and DotNetPanel both support this anyways.
Okay, I thought this was pretty obvious. Seriously, how many of you think typing "keygen" into google is going to find you anything but a bunch of spam sites linking to each other, and if you're lucky, a virus to download. Type any word into Google, add "keygen", OH LOOK IT'S THE SAME WEBSITES!! Okay, not ANY word, but close enough. Anyways, if you did happen to find a keygen for something to do with Avatar on any website, there's no way in hell it's anything to do with the movie. You think some hacker at the movie theater made one for the fun of it? A 3D movie is not small enough to be spread online, nor can it be played back on any equipment available to the general public. If there's no way or reason to copy the data, nobody is going to worry about breaking the DRM.
Canadian health care isn't that bad - she's paying extra for this extended health care (or her company was) so they can still pull shit like this on questionable claims. At least if she had a more physical problem like a heart attack or gunshot wound everything would be covered until the part where they try to kick you out of the hospital early... Manulife is not in the business of paying wages for people that can't work btw, that is handled by the workers compensation board. They were probably paying for her psychologist and any medications, maybe she can't drink while on whatever they prescribed and yet she is shown drinking on facebook and they concluded she was "off her meds", or so to speak. Pretty sure you can't analyze the chemical composition of a drink with a photo, unless it was in a shot glass though. Who knows...
haha i wouldn't worry about that, the default is 128-bit AES encryption, as long as you haven't accidentally stored important passwords in the unprotected mode...
Q: If somebody steals my RoboForm Passcard files, can they get into my accounts? A: If you password-protect all sensitive Passcards and Identities and then it will be very difficult. Specifically, all password-protected Passcards and Identities are stored in files that are encrypted by your Master Password using AES, BlowFish or 3DES. So a person who stole your computer or password files, will have to break these encryption algorithms in order to get your passwords from Passcards. As long as you observe these rules, it should be very hard to use the stolen info: * Password-protect all sensitive Passcards and Identities. Anyone can see and use Passcard or Identity that is not password-protected. * Make your Master Password long enough and un-obvious enough, so that it cannot be defeated by a simple dictionary attack. Do not use any words or names from any widely used languages, make your Master Password at least 10 characters long. * Use AES, BlowFish, or RC6 for encryption, they are harder to break than other algorithms.
How to Maximize Personal Data Security in RoboForm. If you want to achieve the maximum level of security, do this: * Check "Password-Protect New Passcards" in the "Options -> Security" dialog. * Make sure that all sensitive Passcards and Identities are password-protected. The Lock icon should be yellow and locked, and the Protected menu item should be checked. Remember that anybody who can read files on your computer will be able to extract your sensitive info from any Passcard or Identity that is not password-protected -- so do password-protect them. * When you leave your computer, click the "Logoff" button on the RoboForm toolbar so that all entered passwords are purged from memory.
Yeah I agree roboform is the best, it's updated every few weeks for the last 5 years or whatever. The online sync is great, has plugins for all the browsers and even a special build of chrome (chrome doesn't usually support plugins so it's nice to see they recompiled the whole thing with plugins enabled and this preinstalled). Lots of useful features like a configurable password generator, selective form filling... It supports multiple users, you can choose the encryption algorithm, it can auto-logoff by timer or screensaver or whatever you want. I used to review software in my spare time and this one really beat out everything else, it does have a free trial so you can see for yourself. I guess, out of all the software I have, this is my 2nd favorite. I rarely "pay" for software but this one is just updated too often for me to waste time pirating, plus I actually want to support the development.
Crazy? Expected, really. Microsoft wants money, so one can't call them crazy. It's very easy for them to block unofficial hard drives because they contain a non-standard file system that includes a security sector (#16) that cannot be forged - only copied from another drive. Real retail drives have unique security sectors, all they have to do is start blocking the duplicate serial number drives. Part of the security sector is the drive serial number, and also the microsoft logo so they can sue you for copying it...
They ship with different brands of drives right now, western digital ones are the only ones that can currently have their firmware spoofed and security sector rewritten with an all-in-one tool (HddHackr). As of version 1.00 it supports:
- WD Scorpio Series BEVS/BEAS
- WD Scorpio Blue Series BEVS/BEVT
- WD Scorpio Black Series BEKT/BJKT
- WD VelociRaptor Series
I just bought a BEKT so I can have a nice 7200 rpm drive assuming they aren't about to start blocking them:(
Haha well make sure you figure it out, Microsoft managed to charge to my expired credit card when I refused to provide them with the new number:(
Have fun on hold!!
Yeah, that's what I mean. I am guessing since it works fine but crashes randomly once a day when doing memory intensive stuff, nokia supplied rogers with phones that don't run at full cpu or memory speed. the rogers firmware probably underclocks them. either that or nokia just makes shit phones that crash all the time...
It's the official nokia firmware I installed. You're not supposed to do that because Rogers wants your phone to play stupid screensavers and startup screens from them. Fuck them, I say.

It's to prevent hypervisor based rootkit attacks
