I've logged on for the first time in years to post this.
I am a serious FPS gamer, from the way back, and owner of a DK2. If they don't figure out something to solve the motion sickness, it'll fall flat.
I always found that honeypots also attracted MORE attention to the network, rather than serving as a tool of defense.
Essentially, even if you did get the police involved to the point where they could trace the hackers, chances are they are using some type of TOR technology, and the ones that aren't, the little bobby droptables of the world, probably aren't worth prosecuting.
Save yourself the headache and forgo the unnecessary risk and stress of honeypotting.
What scares me infinitely more than giving my ID to a government institution for obtaining a service (drivers license, Liqour store, etc), is the fact that the public sector will be charged with creating a secure, robust, dependable system. It would seem like an absolute blessing for one with questionable morals to be able to steal identities, obtaining records for advert purposes, etc
Less expensive? I thought MySql was free? Any MySql admins here? Are there certain features (grid, flashback, partitioning) that aren't available with the free version?
My name is Paul and I'm posting on behalf of Slashdot security team. We are performing a random security audit on your account. If you could provide me with your username and password, then we can conclude this test and move on.
I rtfa, and its confusing. It started with talk of cloud computing on mobile devices (with no mention how the constant speedbump of network lag were to be overcome) and then droned on about a new chip architecture.
Sometimes its better to use a tried and true template instead of re-inventing the wheel over and over and over again. This has further ramifications when you include time to test case, database interaction, security modules.
Judging by the tone of your post, you probably feel you can write better code faster than the aforementioned templates. I wish you the best of luck with your blossoming career, but if I can offer a bit of advice, get with the program or start your own company.
I am an Oracle DBA for BagOfPucks(tm) company, and I just so happen to chum with a head software security guy at Symantec. He informs me off the cuff everytime there are undocumented zero day breaches, so that if pertinent (which they sometimes are), I can act accordingly to protect the system.
Of course, I offset this with buying pizza and beer. Its a very good bartering system, I would imagine that if they ever needed to rebuild an Oracle backend, I would be tapped:)
We use a firebird DBMS at work, and it is an fairly decent flat file solution, but its not on the level of MySQL.
It can be used to serve multiple clients, I've read into people storing massive amounts of data in it for testing purposes, and it does have some cool features (Instead-Of triggers on views), but I think MySQL is the more "mature" solution.
I'm upset that the americans are spying on us Canadians, so much for our brotherhood. Spying on allies? Sounds like a deal breaker for me. Furthermore, the isolation, polarizing view of those in power, for example Hillary Clinton, is evident. American and Non-American? Why word it like that? I interpet that as "with us, or against us."
Hmm, this is interesting, are you using a gravel field or the long lines? I've personally seen fields successfully over many years in much smaller plots of land (sections). Possibly due to the percolation value of the land.
But agreed, too far from starbucks, so the people will selfishly pollute. I know I'm not providing a realistic alternative, I'm just unhappy with the decision, if it does go ahead.
Not necessarily, in less dense population you can use the septic field technology. I realize this might be a hard concept for a lot of people to swallow, but whats comfortable for the individual might not be best for the global society.
They may have to move.
And I don't mean to the ocean, I mean to less dense parts of our planet, spread it out a bit. They might have to make their living off the land, have to forgo certain luxuries, but its better than a constant stream of feces entering into our most valuable and fragile ecosystem.
Give the guy a break. Honestly I think the big win here is not the simplistic level design, its the fact that Gearbox has allowed the guy to develop using the digital property (likeness of Duke). Its still worth a lot of money.

I was sicker than a dog using my occulus.
Prepare to be poon'd, consoles
Apple products made from plastic. Plastic is a byproduct of refined oil.
Ergo, Apple is dependent on Oil, so, in no way, will Apple, ever be more valuable than oil.
one meeeellion? In a decade?
Get out town, that wouldn't even cover our bar tab for our sales people's trips in a year.
For any decent O&G company, that literally is pennies.
I read that as "NSA fires idle supercomputer"
Too bad stupidcomputer, should have kept busy while the economy was slow!

Who's to say this isn't somebody employed by Newt to read these books, to make it seem like Newt is a well-read, intelligent, individual?
I wonder if this also covers unintentional content that gets released to the public through less than obvious means? (bugs, hacks/cracks)
I mean, when the hot coffee mod was dropped, independent of the developer or publishers control, didn't that send the ESRB into a tizzy?

I don't think they could do it successfully....

And that Albert King fellow, never learned how to hold his bloody guitar right, upside-down-backwards, flipped over, jeeez!
What was his nickname again? Oh right, the one of the kings of the blues guitar.
We must not be classically trained.

Nothing to see here, moving along...

This isn't the exact solution, but you sould be able to tunnel a skype connection over the Tor network, for a short period of time.
Depends on the length of communication, which isn't stating in the question.

Mod parent up hilarious. If I had the mod points, I would.

One word: Septic
The ocean is not your toilet.
Well good for the bean counters then. I'm sure a vastly more important question would be, "where is the largest concentration of tanks?"

Probably due to the fact that people slam the phone down 82% more of the time, because of the antenna reception issue.
Just saying..
