Really? I remember I tried UFS around 10.4 and it was just a nightmare, every BSD seems to have their own version of UFS and linux could never autodetect it just right for me, I eventually gave up and went with HFS+ which worked just fine with the minor exception that unmounting HFS+ didn't set the flags right and I had to run some HFS+ app in linux (or boot OSX) to reset the flags so it would mount. I assume some of that has changed, but HFS+ still works in linux without a problem and the apple software likes it a bit better than UFS.
The AES encryption has been public for a long time, nobody has found anything that would allow anyone to crack it with any computer out there today, the NSA has more stuff available and they still allow Top-Secret material to be protected with AES-256 (it has FIPS compliance), I doubt the NSA would do that if they thought there was any chance that AES could be cracked
Depends on how the password was generated, assuming I restricted myself just to lower case letters, then every letter can encode ~4.7 bits of information, that means a 55 letter sentence is going to encode more information than a 256-bit AES key, an average sized sentence is going to be long enough to do that, and even taking into account the patterns in language that sentence can still theoretically encode more than the 256-bit keys.
And if your smart you don't use a password, you use just a random number stored in a file and encrypt that with a password but store it on a separate device, I think they would find it hard to say that destroying a key is destroying the evidence and they would have to prove you actually destroyed it.
Pantala flavescens, the Globe Skimmer or Wandering Glider, is a wide-ranging dragonfly of the family Libellulidae. This species and Pantala hymenaea, the "Spot-winged Glider", are the only members of the genus Pantala from the subfamily Pantalinae. It was first described by Fabricius in 1798.[1] It is considered to be the most widespread dragonfly on the planet.
The English common names "Wandering Glider" and "Globe Skimmer" refer to its migratory behaviour.[3] The German name Wanderlibelle mean "migrant dragonfly". In Hong Kong, its name translates as Typhoon Dragonfly as it arrives with or shortly before the seasonal rain.
It seems to me that it has been known that it just seems to "show up" at specific times of the year and does migrate, but nobody knew just how far it really did migrate.
When you are small and light it is not actually required that you expel energy to float, the turbulence in the air can keep you going to a very long time for example water can stay in a cloud long enough to become softball sized hail and a glider can stay in the air all day, the energy is technically wind energy derived from solar and it is not coming from the object flying.
DKIM verifies the actual message not the server, yes it can be more work to setup, but you end up with end to end security and you can differentiate between different senders on the same IP.
DKIM gets the public cert through DNS, thus to let someone send on your behalf you can do make a private and public cert for the sender and then host the public cert at sender-month._domainkey.example.com, when they send an email they get the public from a DNS server you control which should be easy enough to segregate from other peoples mail servers.
The only reason i can think of is shity service. At my house on a good day i can get 1 bar outside or near a window and no bars with service on the east side of the house, cheaper phones don't even get that, and I usually sound a bit choppy, the land line is not as dependent on weather and I can always get a clear connection.
Land lines have a single center that an area will connect to as well as wires, blow up the switch facility or knock down a few telephone poles and service is distributed for days while the single point of failure each requires fixing. Cell phones are often within range of multiple towers and the individual towers can often be hooked up with microwave dishes instead of wires, there are no wires that will take out many cell towers through a single point, taking out a single tower often won't do significant damage to the cell network. And if you do take out a tower through any method they do have complete towers that can be rolled out and connected to the grid in hours, there is no need to complete repairs to get it operational. And power is not an issue either, most towers will have batteries that they can run off for a day or so (or maybe generators), a few years back when a bunch of the US lost power cell phones did not go out.
Yea, grant Facebook and unlimited license, I would not consider this license to extend to facebooks affiliates/advertisers. The issue is that its not facebook using it, they gave your IP to advertisers, and the ToS does not appear to give facebook the right to sell the unlimited license to anyone they please, but IANAL, so what do i know.
I seriously doubt that this remark about 'a big gouge in Route 1' was because of weight, but rather because of size. Perhaps it clipped an overpass. Perhaps (god forbid) it actually slid off the truck.
Most likely it was due to a hill, It happened at my house, a drilling truck with a large drilling assembly hanging off the back (for a water well) went up my driveway, and the rear end went into the pavement, dug a 1"x1"x12" gouge in the road, luckily it didn't stop the truck. And I've seen a bus do it (and they had to get it towed) when they tried to make a K turn in a neighbors driveway and the rear wheels left the ground.
when the mail man messes up they don't open it (and there are exemptions somewhere to allow them to open it when required). If you receive something not meant for you then you should give it back to the post office, don't open it.

gigawatt is correctly pronounced, "jigawatt", the "giga" pronunciation only became popular when computers became common

If you look at the article its just stating that the proprietary library has a lot of undocumented functions, and that one of these functions accomplishes a task in a manner that is contradictory to what the Apple docs say to do. The speed gained can be had by sticking a few lines in the.plist, safari happens to use an undocumented API for this, but the end result is the same. Nothing in the article says that the same results cannot be had by third party libs. The rest of the APIs may be useful, but there is nothing indicating that they do something that a third party app cannot do.
I'm convinced its the teachers, not the students. When you give the students laptops you need to teach them differently, when done right it works great.
For 7 & 8th grade my school gave me laptops (part of a Toshiba case study, Toshiba case study [PDF]), this started in '97 and they never had problems with it impacting student performance in any negative way. The classes are all small and the students all did as the teachers said, if you were not suppose to use the laptop you didn't have it out, it was that simple. Nobody could get distracted, when you used the computer the teacher would know what you were doing and would yell at you if you tried anything not related to school.
Granted there are always those that will use a laptop for something they shouldn't, I found that if the teacher controls who uses a laptop and when, then its easy to prevent any negative affects. In my school the laptops were only used for non-school stuff when the student was off school (either in study or home), and cheating from laptops was non-existant as test were never given with the laptop present.
At they school the program is going so well that this year they are extending the program to all students from 2nd to 8th grade, and i think it is a real example of how a laptop program should be run.

Yeah, sew their butts shut. That'll teach 'em!
If only that would help, lawyers are full of shit and it can only be explained by having a blocked arse.

It is a federal crime to open mail shipped through the United states postal service that has not been delivered to the addressee.
