I'm not leaving my wallet laying around but it's not absolute security. It might still be stolen and that's a PITA. A password written down will be lost if they're not in a logical place well organised and that mean that if someone figure out where it is, they have all of them. Or you can store the pwd in different places and forget half of them. Sure you can find a logical place where to store each pwd but either your too predictable or you won't think of the same place each time.
Or you have a decent IQ, are sure your friend won't betray you (but then, who will? ), and are very well organized in which case you're not Average Joe. Or you have the ability to remember 38 pwd > 20 letters... In which case you might not have lots of friends...
It's not difficult, it's annoying. And if you don't type it often, you'll forget it. And if you do type it often, it's even more annoying. And if you write the pwd down, it will be lost/stolen anyway...
They don't need removable storage device in case the network is down since there shouldn't be a network to begin with... I don't know about the necessity of storing the data, thought. That might be needed. Maybe they can take the hard drive away, read it, erase it, reinstalling it fresh with a self made installation CD and put it back. You can't be paranoid enough...
The knowledge of what the PLC does/is supposed to do isn't impossible to figure out, if you don't limit yourself to software hacking. It's isn't easy, but humans being humans, you can always social engineer your way to knowledge if you're good enough... In theory at least.
But then again, why would someone put a USB port on such a system? (At the very least, you can always erase the USB drivers before going prod.) And is it even useful to have a full OS? Do you even need an OS? Well, obviously it would be easier to use... and maybe cheaper to develop. But I do hope they'll compile a minimum OS for this one.
Oh yes, because the Japan's disaster as anything to do with hackers... They hacked the planet and made the earthquake happen. Wait, that's bad! It means they can do analog too!
willing to go for a joyride shooting people anywhere in the world... provided their target is week, poor and its counter-attack capabilities are laughable.
Hello? This is GNU/Linux here! If you don't like the desktop, you can always install another. Or not uninstall the one you like. If you really are a "hardcore user", this shouldn't even bother you.
As for the devs, I don't think that will be a problem at all. First of all, Those concerned with the change probably made it happend, and the others aren't even commited to work with unity. And then, With unity, and gain space on your screen, And it's pretty nice for a programmer, even if it's not that much.
Because the subsequent scientific medicine cost money and times and that the later paper aren't nearly as news-worthy, because you never find a Cure For Cancer after all?
And maybe because cancer being cancer, there are lots of parameters you can't quantify precisely so you ends up forced to use statistic to get some result?
Statistics may be overrated, but it doesn't mean they are worthless or meaningless. They work, provided you don't do anything stupid with them.
Either way, I'll drink a cup more of coffe, just to be safe, since even if their is no direct link, it seems to imply less prostate cancer in the futur... That is, until further experimentation find something more precise.
Not really since the "robber barons" consider it robbery when it happen to them.
They think taking bits you don't own is thief and they do it to others? I certainly think they deserve to be considered as thieves.
Then again, there is the intent of the owner of the code. BSD : He want to give it away? Well ok, you can't steal what is given. GPL : They want to share as long as you share alike? If you don't play by the rules, don't whine if you get sued. Closed sources inc : They don't want to share at all? Don't try. And if you do, get sued too.
That is all. GPL isn't an Evil Viral Licence. Well it may be viral but hey, at least you choose to get it. It's important. The LGPL is here too so you can use LGPL libraries with whatever licence you choose to use for your own code. It seems fair to me. They want to see what you're doing with their code, you can consider it part of the price. With that clear, I think the GPL is a good compromise between total liberty to take credit for someone else and the "Do your own code, punk!" philosophy. So if you ask me, I'll advocate the GPL rather than the BSD licence. And you'll certainly advocate the BSD one. Or you'll just flame me for being a communism, and demonstrate which one of us is a religious zealot.
And maybe you could figure that some of us actually do both... Dicking is no excuse to not be smart. And in the case of GP, I suspect this trick save him some time for the Dicking.
Indeed... I wonder what the fourth place mean in a list like this one. I mean you have all the "bad censuring countries" in there... (well, maybe not all, but the most significant maybe...)
I would almost be glad France isn't in this list, but I can't think of it as an example of internet freedom right now... except if you count incompetence in censorship as freedom... well maybe they do, Australia might confirm that...
Or China... Or Japan... Wait Every one does it ! Only in this case, I suspect incompetence rather than evil protectionnisme... With maybe a little big-brother wannabe.
Thanks... I normally don't make that mistake but it's a little late here... I need sleep. ( And since I don't get corrected to much, my English writing seems to be somewhat good. ^^ )

That's three frightening groups of letters in a same sentence! The cnrs sending antimatter via ups? When will the madness stop?!!
Well of course I meant "remove" storage device.
They don't need removable storage device in case the network is down since there shouldn't be a network to begin with... I don't know about the necessity of storing the data, thought. That might be needed. Maybe they can take the hard drive away, read it, erase it, reinstalling it fresh with a self made installation CD and put it back. You can't be paranoid enough...
I would be even more strict than that :
5. no storage devices allowed whatsoever. At least not in production.
Bullshit. Stripping down an OS is the least expensive things to do to secure this system.
The knowledge of what the PLC does/is supposed to do isn't impossible to figure out, if you don't limit yourself to software hacking. It's isn't easy, but humans being humans, you can always social engineer your way to knowledge if you're good enough... In theory at least.

That, my good man, is the art of war.
I think marketing is a dreadfull thing, but that doesn't change that Ubuntu is still GNU/Linux inside.
Yeah, and there isn't even a car in it... This is /. For F*ck Sake!

I was trying to get motivated to drink less of the stuff...

Fraking Schrödinger zombies...
You forgot to mention solar power... If it's not nuclear power, what is?

Yep, that's the one.
If anything, you're story is a wonderful example of the freedom of choice given by the linux distros. So thanks.
Also I think it's unrelated to the subject of TFS.
