it sometimes seems that Americans buy into their own publicity a little too easily
It might have something to do with the reality of where the majority of the power rests.
Like it or not, the US is the most powerful country in the world and easily in the top 5 most prosperous. That may change, and there may be other issues, but by a lot of quantitative measures we are objectively among the "best" or "top" or whatever you want to call it.
Of course that can all change rapidly, and "best military" or "most political power" doesnt mean "best overall" or "most moral" or anything else. Im sure this will get modded down by folks who are convinced im waving the "rah rah america" banner, but whatever.
Maybe its just me, but someone who displays a lack of integrity in their personal lives (ie, by breaking marriage vows / trust) seems to be a poor candidate for holding a lot of political power.
Meanwhile, there are some employers who have fired employees for giving notice and their act of disloyalty.
Im sure there are people who have been stabbed for saying "good afternoon". Thats not terribly relevant to "what should I do"; the expectation in the business world is two weeks, and Id recommend that you work for a non-crappy employer who wont treat you like crap when you do decide to move on.
b) can fire your ass at a moment's notice (i.e. At-Will-Employment)
And you can leave at any time.
I have never heard a convincing argument for anything other than "at will employment", honestly; it seems onerous and counter to the principles of free enterprise and liberty in general to tell someone that they have to employ this or that person against their will even if they suck at their job.
Cut and paste or typing on a screen knowing you can save it to disc for easy recovery later does nothing for the memory - indeed the whole act is designed to save data to magnetic storage rather than brain cells!
Baloney. Paper is also a storage medium, yet recording notes to it still commits it to memory. Likewise, typing is just as much as a memory committal as writing with a pencil.
I will say that multitasking aside, pencil / paper is just a lot more flexible. Unless you have a really good tablet or a good shorthand system, you will always be able to do more detailed notes with pencil / paper, as you can add diagrams, use creative indentation / emphasis, etc that are time consuming to set up on a computer.
It adds more virtualization features that "R1" does not have-- off the top of my head, I believe better physical device virtualization (ie, I want the serial port to be accessible in a VM; or I want a PCIe card to be directly accessible by the guest). Thats not something you can just add with a script.
You really dont seem to get that R2 is, as it always has been, quite a bit more than just a minor upgrade. Its not quite a new OS / kernel, but a lot of new tech is usually added-- enough that there is usually a domain and forest functional level with AD.
You might as well claim that vSphere v5 doesnt do anything "more" than v4, since they both virtualize. Except that one supports storage tiering, more robust HA / FT, larger extents, etc, so theyre not comparable at all.
The hit in performance and resources of Windows has resulted in a Documentum collection that just doesn't perform as well as it should or could.
Im curious how you measured this, if you havent run it on Linux. I ask because I see a lot of people throw this idea around, but I dont believe Ive seen recent benchmarks showing that.
He does not have to serve sony, he merely has a debt to them. If you are defining the word "slave" to include "has debt", then you are using a definition I have never heard before and which seems to be pretty counterintuitive. Raynaldo caused financial damage to Sony, and while we can argue over the amount of damage and the proper amount of restitution, there is no doubt that in a just society his judgement would include financial restitution.
Slavery specifically refers to being beholden to a specific master, which is a far broader term than "creditor". As I said, Raynaldo can still make any number of life choices, including deciding not to work; that in itself makes this clearly "not slavery".
I was not comparing the nature of the particular crimes, but the reasoning involved. Neither was I comparing theft with murder. I simply used those two because like prostitution, they are constants of human culture; but noone would argue that we should legalize either of them.
Don't underestimate the need for sex. If you are able to brush it off so easily, it's very possible that your genes are not going to make it. It's more likely that if you don't need it, you're not doing it right.;)
Obviously those friends of mine who remained chaste until marriage are fictitious and / or anomalies, right?
There are a lot of cultures that would argue pretty heavily against what youre saying.
As long as humans have existed, and as long as they continue to exist, we will have some form of "sex workers". As the single best thing we can do to increase their quality of life (particularly post-career, which as my not-quite-a-joke pointed out, fades with their youth), we can legitimize them.
There is a glaring hole in that sort of reasoning. You could say the same thing about murder or theft: it will always exist, so we might as well legitimize it in order to reduce the amount of harm.
The goal of laws isnt just to reduce instances of a particular thing to zero, and it hasnt necessarily failed if it doesnt do so.
When you join the military, youre agreeing to follow a different set of standards than the rest of society and voluntarily surrendering some of your autonomy.
If your higher ups say "dont do X", you dont do X. If you have a problem with that, you probably shouldnt be in the military.
There is no law that I am aware of which would allow the state to force you to work for a particular employee.
Some slaves in ancient Rome had a very high quality of life too.
WHat makes slavery slavery, is that you dont have autonomy. Having a debt like this does not remove your ability to travel, to change employees, or to make your own life decisions; it just restricts your finances.
"Slave" is a bit hyperbolic. He can still work a 40 hour work week, he will still have his own home / transportation, and he will still have a quality of life that is pretty decent compared to the vast majority of the world.
So Safari has some security issues as well. Where is the "master key" to export passwords?
Its in your OS keychain, which is locked with your user account.
You would think that people would take a few moments and google this stuff before wildly speculating about how it COULD be done.
I guess the underlying message is that if you leave a computer unattended the information is accessible to anyone. E-mail, passwords, documents, MP3s, etc.
The fact that you are now realizing this means "mission accomplished, you are no longer being deceived by security theatre".
Not on OS X/Safari. All my saved passwords are locked by a master password. A user without that master password can see that the entries exist, but they can't decode the passwords without first entering the master password.
According to the Chrome security lead, that is not correct. You as the user are required to provide that password, but any program can trivially make an API call which grabs data from the keychain so long as it uses your session. This is, he noted, a prime example of the kind of false security that everyone is demanding.
Im trying to envision what computer security would look like if designed by slashdot groupthink. I have a feeling it would be complicated, frustrating, and utterly ineffective.
You can't, but I wouldn't expect a local user to have the time to install a hex editor and decompilers on a machine that I use to extract a private key from the executable.
THe user will google "how to dump chrome passwords", see a webpage explaining how to install such and such extension which performs that task, and another webpage offering a 50kb executable which does that decryption by hand, and use that.
You want a golden example of this simply not working? Outlook password storage. Theres no "easy" way to show the passwords, until you visit nirsoft.net, and see that there has been an outlook profile password "decryptor" available for the last 10 years which anyone could use to dump all passwords. Now poll your friends: How many of them assumed that because there was no easy way to view said password, that an attacker could not grab it?
If i have access to the computer for 4 minutes, why couldnt I drop a malicious extension into firefox which waits until you have unlocked your password store, and then dumps the whole thing up to a website? Or wait until you visit your email provider, and grab the password form data as firefox fills it in?
The fact is, as has been explained ad nauseum, you cannot defend every single one of these vectors once the attacker has gotten access to your session; there is too many ways for him to dump those passwords.

Im fairly certain R2 does more stuff than R1.

I dont believe you can clear out debts imposed by the court through bankruptcy.
babysitters know how to google.
Is that not a valid threat which is actually more plausible than a black hat hacker?
Then they already have access to your files. The solution is to lock your computer.
Actually his argument is not valid if you use OS-based password storage such as Keychain on OSX.
The way it works is that all your confidential data (passwords, etc) are stored in a keychain, which is encrypted.
This is what they do. Im pretty sure they explained that about a thousand times so far. /thread.
So Safari has some security issues as well. Where is the "master key" to export passwords?
Its in your OS keychain, which is locked with your user account.
