this is my understanding (and some more)- basically that solaris is more useful as a server and less interesting as a desktop. at least, that's what i used to use solaris for.. back when you still had to pay for it.
some Banks do hardware authentication (USB key or RSA solution), especially for commercial banking/payment services. It just hasn't been rolled out to many retail customers. considering many banks dont provide wire transfer services over the web to regular retail customers, it may not be necessary in all cases (although online statements might facilitate fraud). but IMO, it isn't practical or even feasible to make anything "impossible" to copy/replicate or get around in some manner, but obviously more secure is better for this.
well, i think we all know how its going to end now. seriously though, the fact that scientists can study the molecular composition of an object flying through space is awesome.
"Gaming bigger than football and hockey combined 39% of the population has played computer games this year. The figures for football are 24% and for hockey 3%. 17% of the ones who play computer games do it regularly, compared to 5% for football and 1% for hockey. This means that computer gaming is almost three times as big as football and hockey combined."
around here, most people watch football and hockey, not play them.
the economy flows in cycles http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_cycles. open source has been around longer then most of them, depending on which theories you believe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Source_history. i don't recall open source dieing after the 2001 tech bubble, and that was pretty serious. actually, i think i upgraded my FBSD box's OS around then. For that matter, open source licensing is a preferred method to release programs/code for many different reasons, but ultimately because it's advantageous.
I don't understand why accusations are made before the review has been performed and conclusions drawn. I'm not sure whether anyone suffered from this specifically, but it doesn't seem responsible or professional.
I find it interesting that another company is getting pushed into supporting a platform that is no longer part of their future competitive strategy - DRM servers. The long-term cost of DRM will be high for companies that got on bored just as it is to consumers. I think eventually, if it hasn't happened already, both sides will unilaterally oppose it with record labels being the only supporter. hell, even record labels might come to their senses
I have 2 gigs of ram on an amd64 running ubuntu. i don't recall how large my swap is, although I think I set it pretty low as my hd is not that big, but the point is that I have watched the use of ram and swap "real-time" in a system monitor. i've never seen the ram deplete enough to activate use of the swap. that being said, i or someone in my position could probably get away with very little (500 megs?) for emergency use only
many institutions do have independent auditors inspect their computer systems. in fact, banks and other publicly traded companies do all the time as it is generally required by regulators and best practices by almost every professional organization. http://www.theiia.org/guidance/technology/gait/
they don't necessarily catch these types of vulnerabilities, but they perform a review to the level of sophistication that the auditor can and is directed to based on risk and budgeting by management.
additionally, many companies that contract with third parties, especially ASPs in this context, require a SAS70 (not that this is a reliable guarantee by any means) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAS70
i have applied to at least three jobs that all required me to take tests before i could be interviewed
1. securities sales - multiple page personality test
2. banking management training program - multiple page personality test
3. internal auditor - operations, accounting and technology comprehension test
granted, i was applying for my first job, so i did not have the experience you do. the personality ones really drive me crazy though
Perhaps not individually, but as a mass, they are. Surely obese people don't like being called "fat tub of lard" but in the end they do nothing to improve their condition.
bit of a generalization don't you think? besides, not everyone is big for the same reason. I don't think many would argue obesity isn't an epidemic in the US, but then again, we (at least I) don't like being told what to do "by the masses" whether they are more aware or not.
as for your comments about discrimination, what form of discrimination protection are you referring to that is inappropriate? labor law? handicapped access requirements? social curtosy to mind your own business and not call them slobs? can't believe you got modded insightful for that rhetoric.
i can't read chinese, and i have little idea the context in which these docs exist other than the domain they were apparently hosted and the authors implications.
however, the first two lines do translate to "Gymnasts reported to the National Registry"; the third '"No.", "name (in)", "Sex" and "Date of Birth", "native", "birth" and "registered", "Remarks"' and the last 'Note: The total registered 1050; which recognizes 753; first Note 297; exchange 13' according to google translate.
I agree, it seems like unnecessary regulation. Then again, a long flight with a dummy on a cell phone could drive someone crazy. I guess if passengers complained to the stuards, they could ask the person to hang up.
i seriously question yahoo's business strategy here. ok, maybe their music store wasn't working out. things happen. but the customers who paid aren't to blame, yet they're sharing the responsibility. at the time, they probably didn't realize the faults of drm- they just trusted yahoo.
so this calls into question- what will these customers (or you) do when yahoo tries to offer another new product? do you trust them not to back out once you've invested time and/or money leaving you holding the bill; yahoo is in the tech industry where innovation is required to stay competitive. you dont want your customers to avoid trying new things
he had 21 months for "spam". when they catch him, he'll face new charges for breaking out of prison. in addition, "When they were leaving, he forced her in the car" is that kidnapping? from minimum security "dormitories" to something a little rougher i imagine. bad move
i just realized what happened here. someone sent propaganda to zenpundit and he rolled in it instead of rta. next time lets use the firehose to spray him/her off.

yes, i remember when these existed. they deffinately are not relevent anymore, but thanks for the fond memories!

i noticed that too.

definitely. try throwing a few fastballs without warming up..
i think the poster is asking- why is it necessary to use a work-around to gain root access on an open device you own

yeah, if the IOC loses some control over its brand then athletes all over the world won't want to compete to represent their countries anymore! please

there is a lot of software that is only available for linux too ;) well, unix-like, but you get the point.
