So it's not done over SSL or TLS, that's unfortunate, but this isn't a bug, it's a lack of a feature. Who's going to be snooping your email traffic from an iPhone anyway?
Non-secure public WiFi? That's quite common and very vulnerable to hacking. Of course, I use imap+gmail+SSL, but this was a bad idea.
I still feel that Yahoo doesn't really take security seriously, in that you can't really force yahoo mail to go secure over https like Google can (it only secures the login page).
James Stephen Fossett (born April 22, 1944; missing September 3, 2007; declared legally dead February 15, 2008[1][2]) was an American businessman, aviator, sailor, and adventurer and the first person to fly solo nonstop around the world in a balloon. He made his fortune in the financial services industry, and was best known for many world records, including five nonstop circumnavigations of the Earth: as a long-distance solo balloonist, as a sailor, and as a solo flight fixed-wing aircraft pilot.
A fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and the Explorers Club, Fossett set 116 records in five different sports, 60 of which still stand, as of June 2007[update].
"Change" is exactly what you can expect the opposition party to be selling in any election. The only reason Obama's campaign seems novel is that we have the collective memory and attention-span of a goldfish.
That and maybe he doesn't look like the past 43 presidents (ie, not white male). Though I agree with your statement about the collective attention-span (another side-effect of 24/7 news outlet-spam).
Sometimes the screen saver *crashes*, and it becomes impossible to unlock.
Sometimes it just refuses to power on for no apparent reason.
Turning off the screen-saver password, for some bizarre reason, fixes both problems. Of course, that does mean I have to pay attention to where I've put my laptop..
Are you running Tiger? The password screen hanging issue happens to my wife's powerbook too. She deals with it by simply closing the lid again, which seems to reset the password request.
Actually to warm the catalytic converter the Prius will almost always run the engine at startup,
Uh, the GP post was talking about starting off a traffic light (say, after the engine is warmed up). Not to say you're incorrect (which is why the Prius will get better gas mileage as it's driven longer between breaks) but it's a different point than the GP was making.
The Prius during the startup phase is about as efficient as a Yaris or Echo during city driving (which lasts for about 3-5 min)... this is the reason my MPG numbers are lower now that my overall commute time is less.
Looks like the modernization is going to be real grid control mechanism (which is a Federal issue, since it's interstate) combined with something like HVDC to allow for reducing the transmission losses.
I just tried this too; every attempt to navigate to another app while using the phone was met with the password screen. Perhaps it's a firmware difference?
You're correct, my experience was user error (passcode had been turned off recently), so it looks (more) secure.
Actually all you need to do is call the iphone, then when the call ends you are back at the home screen unrestricted. On a slightly unrelated note most security articles seem to point out the obvious flaws instead of the clever ones (clearly the iphone lock function is only a slight deterrent)
That's interesting.
typical behavior when you realize you've lost your phone: Call it, and see if you can hear the ring.
Now when that happens, the person who stole it can answer and say "thanks for unlocking your phone!"
I just tried this, and although hanging up will eject you... if *while in-call*, the phone user navigates to any non-phone app (ie, safari) then hangs up the call, the phone won't re-lock.
This is unfortunate, but I can't think of an easy way to make the phone usable and secure for this use-case... which brings up the interesting point... Is the password really secure? Is it reasonable to expect PC-level security for what is, primarily, a phone?
If someone stole my old Nokia or Sony-Erricson, which didn't really have passwords, they would also have all my contact information, and calendar details. If it's a company phone and you're reasonably sure you lost the phone, shouldn't the first move be to remotely de-activate the phone, then try to find it afterwards?
In other words, your officemate decides to bridge your network connection through his computer without you realizing he's switched your cables. It doesn't really matter what the notaries say, because he can manipulate all of them to say the same thing, since all their responses are routed through his computer first. Identically, if he's on the server side, he can modify all the outgoing notary requests so all notaries see the same thing.
Couldn't this be resolved by each notary maintaining a certificate for SSL verification?
That would up the attack difficulty to be replicating separate secure connections to the various notaries.
Quoting: "Parents who had been paying $1,425 a month for infant care would see their costs rise to nearly $2,500"... WTF? How much do people in the US earn?
Yes, life in the Silicon Valley is very expensive. Of course, when we used a daycare for our kid last year, we only paid $1400/mo for full-day coverage, in the Silicon Valley... and there was no subsidy for us.
For $2500/mo, you can get a very experienced, full-service Nanny to come to your house and take care of the kid(s) for 40/hr week.
Life in other parts of the US are much cheaper (though places like Seattle, New York and Boston are probably comparably expensive).
Considering the median salary of your average Silicon Valley tech worker is about $80k, and that the average two-income couple would probably be making slightly above-average salaries (most likely have been working for 2-3 years or more), you're looking at $175-200k income. Single-income couples where a parents stays at home to care for the kid(s) aren't really target market of daycare centers.
It's clearly intended to taunt Yahoo!. What better way to intimidate a company that won't let you take them over than to team up with their inferior competitor?
Basically no voting system is perfect, but our current one (plurality voting, no runoff, first-past-the-post) is far from perfect, and basically results in a two-party system (where all third parties are spoilers). This, in turn, creates the Kodos/Kang two-headed defacto-one-party corporatist monster we have today.
Even though I think IRV would have flaws, I think it would be better than what we have. Obviously Condorcet (Ranked Pairs) is the least flawed system and we should go for it. Look at who uses Condorcet as an example of smart people trying to choose the system least gameable.
BSAs play a critical function in most IT project teams, and often pays just about as well as a programmer if you have any experience (entry level positions don't pay much, but you need to earn your dues).
In addition, if you get a bunch of experience and understanding of methodologies (UML, RUP, Agile, Requirements Engineering, etc), you can easily make good money contracting in large metro areas.
This role can easily transition into a technical/software project manager if you're good at time/expectations management, or into IT management (for large organisations).
In the UK, this role is also called a Management Information Systems Analyst.
Project managers shouldn't have that issue. The project sponsor should be advised by the project manager, and is the one to make the call.
Clearly in this case, the contractors felt they were being abused and ended the contract and the income rather than subject their employees to the abuse. Seems like the "sponsor" if they had one, was turning a blind eye to the bullying done by the PM, or actively promoted it.
Sad to say, I've seen this on more than one occasion. I applaud the contractor's higher ups for putting well-being over profits.
thats how you really make money on social networking sites: you sell out to established media conglomerates, and then go play frisbee. to keep a hold of the site, and thinking you are going to become a permanent internet portal, like google, is hubris, arrogance, egotism. unless you are planning to seque into becoming a search engine, and somehow actually take out google... heh, googd luck. but that's the only sound strategy to take if you plan on keeping the social networking site rather than selling out, upping the ante and going for the diamond ring
That's not the only way to play the game. Contrast selling out with the strategies taken by LinkedIn.com (make mone targeting a profitable niche), or Craigslist.org (don't sell out. Make money on a very small subset of your total base, site becomes a fixture on the internet uncorrupted by ads).
There are other ways to success... some of them involve giving up potential revenue.
It seems perfectly serious since one of the main security aspects of OS X is that root access is held sacred (as it should be) and malware is assumed to be 'stopped at the gate' by that policy.
You do realize that this exploit will not work on about 99% of the machines deployed, right? Read post above.
Once the Obama administration comes in and sets the white house in order, a good indicator that he's keeping his campaign promises would be the opening of this kind of data (if the FCC doesn't see the light beforehand).
That is what is fundamentally wrong with the Iraq War. Wrong with any occupying American government abroad. It's what was right with the US conversion of Japan and Germany from their tyrannies after WWII: we worked for several years to free those people, who then created their own governments.
Also keep in mind that Germany and Japan had strong republics before they became tyrannical warmongering countries... the Marshall Plan worked because it was restoring what was, not creating anew. Your point about Germans and Japanese being responsible for governing themselves (while we helped with funding and military protection) is also key: Iraqis, if they actually did govern themselves would probably make as their first rule to kick our (US Military) asses out of the country.

So most macs can boot from USB
I know, I did this to copy system data for my sister's iBook G4.
Macs can boot from USB. Have been able to for a LONG TIME.
Intel Macs can. Oh, and so can PowerPC macs.

Nice freudian slip... but totally true. Adding the word Enterprise to your product, you can charge like 1000% more. That's the Enterprice.

maybe their IT dept should be held liable for giving him a misconfigured laptop?
btw, why isn't this a YRO article?
