f you're not here, you're not under the jurisdiction of our laws. What happens if I kill somebody in the terminal before I get through customs? Think about it!
A better solution would be to create a file that has the same checksum but different contents. Name it the same thing (add "fake" to the name) and release it into the wild. Their methods will produce false positives as a result (bad for the person doing this) but it won't stand up in court and therefore make all other cases with evidence discovered from the same methods invalid.
Some clarification about the people effected by this.
Do you know how to create an SSH/SSL encryption key?
if no
end (you are not effected by this problem)
if yes
Have you ever created a key with your machine?
if no
end (you are not effected by this problem)
if yes
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
create new SSH/SSL keys end
If Linux ever wants to make it to the desktop we have to put things in terms everyone can understand. A casual user, such as myself, might understand that he/she uses SSL while using his/her bank's website and panic upon reading this article. These issues need to be clarified.
Would MS bother to make these clarifications? Damn right! Unless of course, they try to cover up the fact they made this mistake in the first place.
That would only play right into their hand. The network would become useless because someone searching for songs by Amy Winehouse will receive thousands of hits for files of idiots humming the song "Rehab" instead.
You are correct that the easiest way to defeat the methods they deploy is to flood them with garbage, but how is the casual user supposed to filter out the garbage without The Man doing the same?
The closest analogue I can think of would be currency. The Treasury Department changes the design every few years because it takes a while for counterfeiters to, reverse engineer, develop copy techniques, and perfect methods for mass production. By the time that's complete a new bill is in circulation.
I'm always happy when somebody comes out with a puzzle that nobody can solve (yet, I suppose). Makes me feel less stupid than not being able to solve the ones that tons of people can solve, like the Rubik's Cube. I'm sorry to inform you that several people already have.
In my day we had one dimension and did we complain? I did, it went something like this
Dah-dah-dah Dah-dit Dit, Dah-di-dit Di-dit Dah-dah Dit Dah-dit Di-di-dit Di-dit Dah-dah-dah Dah-dit, Di-di-dit Di-di-dah Dah-di-dah-dit Dah-di-dah Di-di-dit Dah-di-dah-di-dah-dah
Note: I couldn't use -. because of the lameness filter.
In theory you could use nothing. A vacuum tank would have less mass per unit volume and therefore buoyant. However, it's container would also be under immense stress. Using current materials, a container strong enough to resist this stress would make the Zeppelin too heavy to fly.
It is possible to find a happy medium. You could fill a rigid tank (zeppelins by definition use rigid tanks) with low pressure helium(as opposed to sea-level atmospheric pressure helium) to reduce the stress and keep the vehicle lighter than air. A similar example is the way passenger aircraft reduce the cabin pressure slightly to reduce the stress on the fuselage except in reverse.
Keep in mind I haven't run any stress calculations or anything to see if this is even feasible. I'm just rambling ideas off the top of my head.
As a taxpayer, I will make you a deal. You can have broadband on taxpayer dollars, if you allow the Cape Wind Project to be completed with no further bitching from Senator Kennedy.
From what I understand by reading the SEC website, it is only required by law to disclose a company's proxy voting policies. The policies themselves are not regulated. i.e. they can count unvoted shares however they want.
I don't use ANSYS very often, but in my company's training session it was brought up. The new versions of ANSYS are much better than the old ones, but they still don't have a traditional "undo" as most people know it. Instead, the new version keeps a log of all actions you have taken and you can go back and delete those actions by hand (assuming you know what you did).
In older versions (about 5 years ago) it had no undo function what so ever. You had to save your work often and if you screwed up you had to close without saving and reopen your project. It was very frustrating. Especially if you are a beginner learning how to use it in school, as I was.
From the Google proxy:
For the other items of business, you may vote "FOR," "AGAINST" or "ABSTAIN." If you elect to "ABSTAIN," the abstention has the same effect as a vote "AGAINST." If you provide specific instructions with regard to certain items, your shares will be voted as you instruct on such items. If no instructions are indicated, the shares will be voted as recommended by the board of directors.
In most companies, an abstained vote counts as a vote in favor of the board's recommendation. The shareholders didn't necessarily vote down the proposals, but instead didn't vote at all.
you must wait a little bit before you may use this resource How long is "a little bit"?
Some funds in my 401k had issues with the crisis in Darfur. The board recommended that the fund do nothing about it. I voted that they should. Unfortunately, a no reply from other shareholders is counted as votes for the board's recommendation. Most shareholder's don't even open and read the proxies, let alone vote on them. I would sell the shares but it's my 401k and all of the available funds are managed by the same company.

Please mod parent up. Though I don't like it, the parent is technically correct. You aren't in the US yet so the constitution doesn't protect you.

Remember, checksums are not foolproof, they can be forged.

This is on the SSH server side. If you are a casual desktop user, you don't have to do anything.

If you time how long it takes you to solve it, the original is 5D.
since the sides of the normal Rubik's cube are colored, it was already 4D.
can they please DDoS Nigeria? I think that would truly be to the benefit of everyone in the world, excluding Nigerians of course.
This guy stole the whole idea from The Simpsons episode "The Boy Who Knew Too Much."

Once fusion reactors become commonplace this won't be a problem.

by abstain I mean not voting at all, as opposed to an option called abstain.
just thought I should clarify.
