But even "cracking it elsewhere" is not such an easy task. If you use a strong password and store the boot loader on a removable drive that you carry arround I think you can be reasonably safe. Just take the data you really need and wipe the drive before connecting to the network back home, just for good measure.
Yea probably exactly like global warming (no matter how it turns out); people probably say, they had all this evidence, why did they not react / what a scare mongering, did they not see that there was totally no correlation... In the moment, things just are not that clear cut.
But it makes sense, to a certain degree. I have seen so many corporate security people that can't put themselves into the attackers shoes and thus miss obvious attack vectors. With purely defensive training, all they can do is repeat the good practices they learned, but not devise a defense strategy for their special case.
But how do you know that there is an attack? It always sounds so simple, DOS attacks are easily detected, but real attacks from skilled hackers should not be ?detectable from normal traffic, until it is too late. The security must be in place the moment it is powered on and some things just should not be connected to the internet. (A dedicated private net might be ok, in some cases...)
Right as if anybody needs money to create anything. If people are passionate about anything, they will pay for providing you with their creation. Sure it is nice to be able to dedicate full time to creation, but that does not preclude creation.
You know what, if a page is good and the adds ok... I white list the page...
And that is why Pirate Parties are elected into legislative bodies all over the EU. The Pirate Party may not be able to change much, but it creates a threat to the power of the major parties, who in turn start to address the issue in a more democratic terms. If we could just get rid of the two party system in the US...
The payroll department has the real names of the people on file. The operations department has the cover names. Separation of concerns, not that hard. Oh yea... and dispose of the documents separably.
Except that, to properly serve via SSL and not have a mixed content warning, you need to serve everything via SSL from the same domain. That means, that you also need to serve static files via SSL. If you have high CPU load on your server that serves static files, you are doing something wrong. Then again, where you server static files the CPU should not be the bottleneck, thus adding SSL may actually not hurt. But as always, it depends on your use case. Adding SSL is not a free operation; but it may be sufficiently small that you notice.
I once saw a demonstration by the local fire department with 2 cups of oil and one cup of water... It was titled, "why you should not extinguish a oil fire with water". HOLY SHIT THAT WAS IMPRESSIVE!!! I don't care if they exaggerate a bit, it is definitely a learning experience and very impressive to kids.
Words that show that you have no idea you know what you are talking about:
APT
Cyber
Hacker (!= late night coder)
Cloud
Tubes
Enterprise Software
Patterns
XML
etc.
Yes. there are people that try to extort you for money or try to steal your secrets. But it is a matter of IT security to look anybody out that is not allowed on your system; no matter if it is the teenager next door or some attacker living in china. So called APT are no more a problem than any other issue with IT security.
How about the contract ended and Samsung said they won't continue the contract under the previous terms. Then Apple asked under what terms would you? Then Samsung said +20%. And Apple said let me run that past our purchasing department... Samsung can't just raise the price by 20% on an ongoing contract. This was probably a renewal of an existing contract.
The idea that Samsung "told Apple they'd be terminating the contract" is silly.
That idea is not silly, when you add "under the current terms". The people at Samsung are not stupid, to refuse a large amount of money from Apple.
It would be a shame however if people's desire to give themselves a more impressive title devalued the status of engineers in other fields, especially when (as is shown, I think, by this discussion) it doesn't really add anything to call someone a "software engineer" because the title has no fixed meaning.
It even gets more complicated... To be an engineer you need an engineering degree, right? Well Computer Science, as the name implies is a Science degree. But most alleged software engineers have a BS or MS in CompSci, so can't be called engineer at all. (I am a Information Technology Engineer... (Dipl. Ing.) ^_^ )
Until you process petabytes of data and suddenly you it makes a difference of a couple of hours per run. All the coll dynamic web technology is really nice and empowering, but once you start hitting real traffic, it makes sense to invest into more efficient core systems. See G-WAN for how to do it right.
Ha ha ha ha ha! Good joke. Android uses the Linux kernel, but is definitely not GNU/Linux. That operating system commonly refereed to "Linux", you know Ubuntu, Debian, SUSE, Red Hat and friends is so far from Android as IOS is. OS X on the other hand is a (mostly) POSIX compliment operating system and than means that there is a good chance that you can get a source compatible compile of a GNU/Linux program. The kernel, although important in it's core operation, is irrelevant to the user space programs; it is all about API / ABI. I would not care if I had the Windows kernel on my system as long as the surrounding operating system is POSIX compatible. OS X is a "Unix" operating system period; GNU/Linux is POSIX compliant and you can make an argument that they share the same market... But Android is NOT a POSIX operating system and is a totally different market, irrelevant which piece of software they use.
What is with the 90 EUR (115 USD) cross Europe deal you get with Lufthansa? If you book in advance, you can almost always get that deal and they don't downgrade you in anyway. Sure it may be FRA - TLS or FRA - LHS, because they don't fly AMS-LHR, but I have never seen US airlines being cheaper; more like price parity.
Actually not answering the phone is considered rude to the person who is calling. Not that they notice, but the people you are with will and will interpolate it to them. But not asking polity to call back and talk on the phone for a long time is rude to your guests. It is not that clear cut, anything that interrupts is ok, but not making it short is rude. The ideal being, if you can put it off to later and sill do it, that is rude.
Looking at your phone all the time is like interrupting your conversation to talk to someone else... and yes it is rude and shows you are less important than that other person...
This is a very good observation. I totally agree with you; if you look at a child play you may see many different shifts in conception. An object can be one thing and the next moment something totally different. My gripe with modern technology is not that it is "distracting", but in most cases to rigid. Especially games, that are totally linear and predictable. The sandbox is great because it allows for any type of play, when do we see technology that behaves like a sandbox? I think technology and modern media restricts creativity.
He said age of consent. That is normally, depending on jurisdiction 14-16. Seriously, grooming a <14 girl/boy for sex is totally fucked up. On the other hand "seduction of a minor", what you are talking about is really broken, especially in the 18/17 case.
Back to the topic... The prime directive makes sense for evolving cultures. Most of the "development aid" in the last half decade made many things worse then better...

If they loose money for decades... how come they are still in business?
Mister Bond, your plane is waiting.
I bow before you for your great achievement! I have heard of that epic tale, but have never the option to thank anybody about it.

Client: Evolution
Looks like Exchange and Outlook to me...

Lucky you... The rates in Germany are 1-1.5% for a "savings" account. Yes, at an inflation rate of roughly 2.5%, that means loosing money.
Irrelevant. 15% of the personal computer market and 75% of the smartphone market, really is not comparing apples and oranges, right? Right?
