Of course, if wear leveling was performed perfectly, then pretty much the entire array would fail at once, right?
I have 4 wheels bearings on my Chrysler, and even though all of my wheels rotate with a perfect synchronism, only one of my bearings fails at a time, and the other ones don't follow ther brother in the next few miles...
Remember that at this scale, only an atom of difference could make some of those individual bits fail a year before the other...
Now, for the first time, collaborators on the BaBar experiment at the U.S. Department of Energyâ(TM)s (DOE) Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC)...
I mean, I guess this experiment has nothing to do with testing on animals
The publisher of this boxed release of Ubuntu Linux is ValuSoft according to Best Buy website. Going on the ValuSoft website, I found they're a *cheap stuff* publishing company, and even worse, I couldn't find Ubuntu on their own web site...
This makes me ask the question: Why don't they sell it on their website too if it's such a good idea to sell it?
This is utterly serious! And only a matter of time before attackers compromise DNS on servers and/or clients.
The good news is this is a really strange situation where the fix does not immediate reveal the vulnerability and reverse engineering isn't directly possible.
And wow! Great news! There's a very critical flaw over the entire Internet name-to-IP infrastructure. But don't bother, it will take time before the bad guys find what we fixed...
Does this bill loosens the rules for US-to-Canada communications? Because, oh my god, what if the NSA did know about my next vacation to Quebec City...
I've been caught by my girlfriend... she received a message on an online dating service (WTF!!!) from a guy searching for a Fu** friend. This guy was *ME*. Someone stole my picture off Facebook, and sent it to my girlfriend pretending *HE* was *ME*. Maybe I should just deactivate my Facebook account if I want to keep my girlfriend. Or maybe I should prevent her from having an account on an online dating service!
Ok, I got a link for this, I knew I read that somewhere... It says 10 percent every one billion years or so... pretty small fraction isn't it? But with all other parameters taken into account, like the runaway greenhouse effect, the effect on Earth's warming is a little heavier.
There are cycles on our planet, and that's a fact. We can count at least 4 cycles of global glaciation that we know of. But at a scale a lot greater than the human one, our sun is growing fast. A couple hundredths of a percent every decade. So our faith is there. As the sun will grow larger and larger, our planet is going to heat more and more, and there's absolutely nothing we can do about it.
In the course of our tiny human life, we will never see the planet completely ice-free, nor will we ever witness Nenets Beach. But it's a fact we can see a slight difference, and it's a fact that WE make a slight difference on climate change. But our destiny is that of our Sun
Would it not be really easy to misattribute the sources of these attacks to Chinese-gov't sources when everybody in China connects to the Net through a gov't-controlled firewall? It would also be easy for the Chinese govt to just say "We have investigated on our side, and the exact source of the attack is a very well known hacker from Shanghai. We arrested him", while in fact, it came from a govt spying center dedicated to attack other govt's infrastructures. What would be the difference between a Chinese-govt-generated packet, and a well-known-hacker-generated packet, once it got through their firewall?
I submitted this story, and am a french Canadian. The google translation was not wrong, the article really stated "the U5 countries". I did some research after I posted, and found really NO INFORMATION about this "organization". Maybe it's just a term internally used by the Canadian secret services. I'm as confused as you all about the presence of N-Z on such a short list:-)
Now imagine I have a high resolution scan of a contract for which I want a signature pasted to it, like the fax example you gave at first: You cut the signature of someone, paste it at the bottom of the contract, then scan it at a high resolution.
You then take Photoshop, enchance the contrast so the whites are white, and the blacks are black. Then you use that pretty little Photoshop eraser, and make sure the border of your pasted signature can't be seen. This is kid's stuff!
I still don't understand why a fax signature can be accepted too. The only signatures that should be approved should be Ink on paper handwritten signature, and certificate authority certified digital signature via EMail. I would feel a little safer then.
I am an IT radio chronicler in Quebec city, in a radio which has been nearly dismantled by the CRTC 2 years ago. We were 50 000 people walking down the street to get our message heard by the politicians, we received a lot of attention from the medias saying that freedom of speech was taking a hit...
What happened? The minister responsible for the CRTC said that she would not get involved in the debate, saying that the CRTC was an independant regulation commission and that it would be perceived as an invasion of the government in an independent commission.
What did she do 2 weeks later? She got involved and promised to make room for an Italian television station in Toronto, spoke to the CRTC to make sure the television station would get approved. Why did she do it? She had Italian roots.
Politicians in Canada get involved only when they can get a personal benefit of the actions they take. If the Minister responsible for the CRTC had suffered from Bell Canada's traffic shaping policy, he would make sure that the CRTC will take the decision to make Bell remove its traffic shaping policy, unless a brown enveloppe full of dirty money lying on his doorstep has been put there by some Bell Canada executive.
Like everywhere in the world, politics is no more than corruption. Even in Canada.
And what happened with my radio station? It's been bought by a friend of the regime who frequently has dinner with CRTC administration members, the controversial morningman has been fired, a new and more "regime friendly" morningman has been hired, and now, the ex-morningman has his own radio station on XM satellite radio, struggling to get 300 listeners.

It's been unnoticed probably because it was displayed in those unbranded cheapo kiosks selling Phantasmagoria for 9.99$ and Outpost for 4.99$

Yes, and my post was exactly a joke... maybe not a good one since I had to explain it...
*Hum hum*
As of july 7th, 3:46PM, I no more have a girlfriend...
Will they finally be able to sell vacation to other planets and just "implant" the souvenir of this trip in my head? Exciting!

A picture is worth a thousand words... North Korean people are really green, they shut their cities lights at night!
Funny... nobody from North Korea downloaded Firefox 3.
I don't know about what gives the least headaches, but I know that what gives me the most headaches is white characters on a blue background...

Anyway, the Internet is ALREADY a global Red Light District...
