Really? The beta for 7 comes out the same week as 6 is released? This version nonsense has got to stop. You know those periods are there for a reason... Hint: Big number for major changes that might affect reverse compatibility, 1st decimal for minor changes, 2nd decimal for bug fixes
While I agree he should have compared angled solar panels (anyone that has done anything with solar knows a panel facing south (in the northern hemisphere) will get more light than a panel laying flat, I think the idea he is going for here is for statically mounted panels such as would go on a building, not for huge solar arrays that have motor guidance etc. Besides, there is a great deal of loss from running the motors, so this could still be more efficient (although a great deal more testing would be needed to know that). Give the kid a break, at least he is trying to think - most of the other kids are playing video games which while entertaining, they don't do much for the imagination IMHO.
Is that why customers always tell me their computer feels slow after a while and the only way to fix it is to reinstall the OS? I just thought it was malware ridden and the "registry fixer" they ran (that was also coercion-ware) borked it beyond all chance of repair.
Which is great and all until they use them quantum backscatter thingamabobs to read your login from your noggin while your noddin'. Then they get your password and decrypt in a matter of seconds.
How slow/unstable is your internet connection? Why not just use RFC 1149 and use a CAT proxy? It is much simpler and there is no forensic evidence after a few hours.
I wouldn't blame management for the damage, but it certainly is foolish to not take proper precautions when firing IT staff with administrative access. The damage a disgruntled IT employee can cause these days is akin to burning a building down 20 years ago - you could lose everything.
Short of proxying every external connection, transparently intercepting every SSL transaction and substituting the certificates on the fly, I'm not sure how what you're describing is possible.
Yep. How much bandwidth are you handling and what time do you need it installed by? Do you want it setup to transparently capture information from other sources using prefix hijacking at the border too? By doing so it is simple as pie to fake the authority and pass bad certificates that appear valid.
Electronics don't like being just left around to rot. I'm not sure where you are from, but here in Florida humidity is a killer. If you let it run it drives off the damp. Printers that sit are printers that die.
We solve it by putting them in the landfill next to all the analog volume controls for radios that have failed over the years. Corrosion issues are rarely worth the time to repair anymore - especially on the cheaper MFPs which I'm convinced are all designed to have a lifespan of about 2.5 toner/ink cartridges.
Yep, I think the real problem here is that the rioting started as a response to (real or perceived) police violence, and the reaction was "add more police" and the situation got worse. Rinse, repeat. This isn't a problem of technology, this is the equivalent to trying to put out a fire at an oil refinery by adding more gas.
Seriously. I got to that line and closed the tab. If 'it can be brute-force attacked' is the vulnerability then I guess the security is shot on anything that doesn't self destruct after 3 wrong password attempts. This story is my cue to get back to work....
The solutions here are a case of "No shit Sherlock." Put in a random offset in the update cycling - They do the same thing for automatic software updates already. If you schedule for an update every half hour it might actually update anywhere from 15 minutes to 45 minutes (adjust delay as needed for application). The random staggering keeps everyone from grabbing an update (and thus cycling their power hungry appliances on) at the same time.
available bandwidth, not available speed. In other words if the connection on the other end is slow then I can also download other things simultaneously and use my total available bandwidth.
no, it makes data losses just as easy as they were before. It prevents data theft as the records are now (theoretically) protected. Without proper off-site backups they are still screwed if someone steals their drives again.
Do you do that on your laptop? Most people freak out about their phones but are perfectly okay not encrypting data on their other devices. people are weak and make mistakes. Unless you want to play James Bond for a living get a life and move along.
Yeah, tried that.... fail. Maybe your android is better, but vpn support varies wildly from model to model, and forget remote desktop or vnc - It isn't worth the frustration. I got a motorola droid with a hardware keyboard thinking "at least I can use the command line", but the key mapping really isn't appropriate for vi or anything serious in the shell. Sure it is nice to have access to email and the ability to remote in, but I have found many times where it was so frustrating I just said "forget it, I'm wasting my time" and got out the laptop. Anyhow, what I am saying is YMMV.
Yeah, I can't imagine cloudflare is particularly thrilled about this given that they had been discussing their technology with google in the past to improve optimization etc. That said, cloudflare has a free option, google does not (and at this time cloudflare has better response times than google under many conditions)

Yeah, I saw this twilight zone episode. It didn't go too well for the guy's psyche.

Fail. Turn in your nerd card. Seriously though, if you really don't know then you should read up about control character mapping.

and is rarely even turned on.
And we found the problem...

Not anymore. It functions just like the http version. Yes, it has changed recently.
....it is an anonymous coward. consider the source.

who are you getting a symmetric 5mbps for $250/month from? We are paying almost twice that. Is there any sort of SLA at that price?
No, it was the other data they captured while it was going through the wireless networks that got Google in big trouble.
we're surprised?
a USB 2.0 hub and 10/100 Ethernet controller are present on the board
No need to choose.

yep, check your ping times versus google - cloudflare rocks!
