Also I've been suspecting this for a while now, but I'm now sure enough to call it - you're a shill for Microsoft. You mostly spew hate at their competitors, doing "negative marketing" rather than "positive marketing," but I'm sure of it now.
And why would a device manufacturer lock the device to a particular OS? Maybe for the same reason they could be coaxed to only sell the device with a particular OS?
You're absolutely right, if you completely ignore history.
If you're still left thinking that companies that do not currently have any assets, and will never make any money, can possibly have a positive stock price, then I don't know what to do for you.
Of course the loophole here is the promise of future money. See: The dot-com bubbles (especially Groupon in the current one).
From what I understand this attack requires known data to be sent through from the public key (client) side, so that attack is pretty useless - if an attacker can force known data through your Tor connection from your side he's either broken into your computer or the.onion site (to plant the malicious JS on it).
Not really. This attack makes the encryption easier to brute-force later on by first passing known data over it. It's like if an attacker could force a known file onto your encrypted disk and know its exact location on the disk, that would then make it easier to brute-force the key.
So yeah it shows that there are some weaknesses in the algorithm, but if another party can inject known data into your SSH/Tor/OpenVPN session you have much bigger problems anyway.
Depends. If the error is caused by some inaccuracy in the disk reading process, then a dd image won't be as useful as the original. If the error is caused by a problem with the disk itself, then a dd image will be as good as the original for any purely software-based recovery purposes.
Also he should use dd or something similar to take a raw image of the disk as a first step. You've got a gazillion times as much space now, so store an image in case the disk gets damaged in the recovery process - plus you can keep that image if you want to try the destructive recovery process.
Why would just a through-hole connector cause such an increase in thickness? It might cost about a millimeter right under the connector, and any lower PCB layers would need to route around the area under the connector. Why is this such a big deal?
I agree with you. Something like a big Kindle would be best, although maybe with an OLED rather than e-ink screen (color's kinda important). Most of the stuff the iPad has is not needed for this. It's like buying an Accord to get around inside a big warehouse when a bicycle or golf cart would do the job better.
I filed down my cables from day one. I only plugged a cable in with the hooks still in place once to get a feel for how much force is needed. Considering that the connector is surface-mounted, the amount of force required to remove the connector is terrifying.
It's called a "through-hole mounted connector." Phone manufacturers just like to save a few pennies by using a surface-mounted connector, which is weak as shit.
*Yes this is even stronger, good for the improvement. But through-hole is strong enough, the problem of weak connectors was caused by phone manufacturers being cheap bastards.
That's how religious fundies see it anyways. To them, once science can explain something it means God didn't do it, which is pretty funny considering they consider themselves the most hardcore believers, yet their belief seems to be the most fragile.

And yes I hope metamod does its job with them.
"Try it again?" They haven't stopped.

IN YOUR FACE, 3D printer haters! How you like this "trinket," bitches?

Of course if Amazon had to, they could rip the storage encryption key from the VM's RAM...

Isn't that what ddrescue is for?
Depends. If the error is caused by some inaccuracy in the disk reading process, then a dd image won't be as useful as the original. If the error is caused by a problem with the disk itself, then a dd image will be as good as the original for any purely software-based recovery purposes.
Yeah other options first sounds good.

I'll continue to fill my free time working on personal projects or having sex or playing with my kids.
Why don't you just take a seat right over there...
Most of the stuff I hear about Anathem discourages me from reading it.
You had a good run, and you will go down in history as a trolling legend, so don't feel bad.

There's an HR manager that needs [to be] beaten repeatedly with a baseball bat.
You mean some don't!? :-P
Worse, most companies now consider us "consumable resources," but they're not using that term on paper...yet.

It's a COMMAND CENTER!
The geek doesn't want medicine.
Please don't confuse these nutball conspiracy theorists with geeks.
I'm pretty sure people have installed alternate OSes on iPods and maybe iPhones as well.
When has this been done?
