If I'm reading and understanding you correctly, you're suggesting that 150kT should be enough for anybody, right? (Although wouldn't 20Mt would be oh so grand.)
What about the once-flagship Nokia Lumia 900? Oh sure, nevermind; that phone will always be stuck at Windows Phone 7.5. As TFA says, only Windows Phone 8 will be upgraded. Pity those fools that trusted Microsoft and their %$#@! Windows Phone when they bought their new, first ever released (non-linux, non-symbian) Nokia Lumia, complete with new and shiny Windows Phone 7.5.
It would be very interesting to learn the stats on those buyers' subsequent smartphone purchases, assuming that was possible.
Let's say you really wanted to buy drugs on-line because you thought it was a good idea for whatever reason. Do you trust your own ability not to be traced (which is paramount), in addition to the quality of encryption and other feats provided by your dealer. That's a real risk. Plus, how many of these sites are honeypots, (and when/if they get busted, and their encryption isn't up to snuff they might as well be honeypots for purposes of this discussion)? Buyer beware.
Evolution in this case means not only good customer service, but quality encryption as well. Beware of dependencies, no pun intended.
The ELK Stack might be an option. In my field, (many) web servers can stream all their logs off-site in Real-Time using Logstash Forwarder (or instead they might use rysnc, or rsyslog, or...). A central server, in the secure private intranet perhaps reads and indexes this log data, (that's ElasticSearch, which is sort of like a personal Google for your logs, any logs of any kind, or other Big Data). Kibana is a user-friendly Angular.js application and presentation layer. If you're familiar with NewRelic for server monitoring, you can save views just like when using that tool.
Okay, maybe this is sort of like 'when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail', but this suggestion is the extent of my background in this area. Although I have had an itch to scratch, and so far, this is my best open-source result.
There's a ton of citations you should search for yourself, but I'll provide one I found that might start to help. Using this tool, it is fairly easy to parse out the myriad of hacker efforts at attacking the servers for example; even when you're the NY Times.
The US Feds are apparently working with the Gardaí of Dublin, and someone got caught with encrypted, but unlocked computers containing client CRM data. Now lots of dark sites all over the world are suddenly being exposed.
How many people died in the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge?
Eleven, although until February 17, 1937, there had been only one fatality, setting a new all-time record in a field where one man killed for every million dollars spent had been the norm. On February 17, ten more men lost their lives when a section of scaffold carrying twelve men fell through the safety net.
In other Googling I found an average of 120 people commit suicide annually on that bridge.
Should the bridge go away now?
Now that's one way to look at the question of whether or not a space tourism endeavor is worthwhile. Personally I think the environmental impact, vs. For Who and For What Purpose is a major issue. To me those are just incredibly wealthy people looking for fun ways to spend their money. This isn't like trans-Atlantic air travel in the 20th Century, which actually had a clearly demonstrable economic and societal purpose.
On the other hand, I can well believe nothing would have stopped those gentlemen under similar conditions from trying again. This is what they did as a career for-life, and economically speaking, they had a good employer and seeming economic benefit to do what they did.
Full disclosure: I am only a software guy. I try to do backups, but am only so-so there.
The LA Times has recently covered how Electronics For Imaging (EFI) clearly underpaid Indian immigrant laborers. $1.21 an hour in Silicon Valley, 122 hours in a week, and no overtime. Thank goodness EFI got caught!
Still, I don't think the non-IT general public knows an industry called IT *labor* even exists. Except for the Obama-care website snafu that is. (Maybe in Oregon, the folks there know about Oracle Corp. by now) Millions of iPhones are begging for greater robotic assemblies, because those gizmos don't build themselves, and it'll happen.
Where do you think Skynet will be sourcing its replicants from? C'mon, look at the timeline and start to do the math, then all this makes perfect sense.
For my workgroup/use-case we looked into Syncthing/Pulse and ruled it out because another requirement of ours is read-only sharing/distribution. So far, we're still stuck using the official Bit-Torrent Sync. In other words, so far, given our long list of fairly strict requirements, Bit-Torrent Sync sucks less then everything else.
I'm hoping git annex assistant will pass testing once I get to it. We're trying to distribute files using wifi at open-source conferences, using some kind of LAN technology, since we tend to quickly congest conference wireless/hardware facilities, and can't reliably work with an outside server. In our experience so far, Bit-Torrent Sync sucks less then everything else we've tried.
Here's an 'unofficial' open-source bit-sync client: www.yeasoft.com/site/projects:btsync-deb:btsync-server
It doesn't install on.rpm based distros so far as I can tell. I have a use-case that calls for drop-dead-easy cross-platform sync, and I'm leaning towards using git-annex assistant, but haven't had time to thoroughly test it yet.
Agreed. Gnome3 user here; and I like it! Me no likes Unity; although I can start to see how I might use it, due to recent evolutions.
Also FWIW, every single non-techie, former Windows XP refugee I've turned onto Ubuntu Gnome3 likes Gnome3/Ubuntu also. They tell me they can't believe they used to live that way.
Retiring and getting millions funneled into your pockets is far more lucrative than being promoted a rank.
The converse is also true. It simply isn't possible to enlist in the service past 39-42 years of age. Also, never underestimate the power of attrition. Now that you now, profit(!), right? God Bless America.
But seriously, think about the *many* that have truly made sacrifices for the entire country.
...while companies are given a huge incentive to reinvest their profits outside America.
So true! Where did the 8 or 9 Billion dollars Microsoft used to buy Skype came from? Or the 3 billion Microsoft used to buy Nokia with? Or the 1.5 billion Google used to buy their London District HQ?
iSight is not the first to spot the attackers in the wild. Other security firms, including F-Secure in Finland, have uncovered victims over the years. But iSight was able to tie various attacks together to expose commonalities in the five-year campaign. It was encoded references to Dune—which appear in URLs for the attackers’ command-and-control servers—that helped tie some of the attacks together. The URLs include base64 strings that when decoded translate to “arrakis02,” “houseatreides94,” and “epsiloneridani0,” among others.
“Some of the references were very obscure so whoever was writing the malware was a big Dune geek,” says John Hultquist, senior manager for iSight’s Cyber Espionage Threat Intelligence team.
First, what does the image of sexy exposed mud wrestlers below the text of TFA have to do with Whatsapp or VOIP technology?
Second, all Whatsapp is doing is making existing voip recording technology more mainstream and accessible. Anyone with an Atsterisk/FreePBX server can already do this, but of course that server stuff is not as mainstream as the Whatsapp client. Corporate call centers obviously use this technology every day, and use the disclaimer recorded greeting you must first listen to, before your call can advance in the queue. "This call may be monitored for training purposes" At that point, it is a good idea to also start recording the call on your own, and you're certainly free to do so. *IF* Whatsapp extended beyond its walled garden, this tool would give the plebes a means to record the call centers I've just described.
Uber said it will pay all fines forced upon its drivers by the authorities. Meanwhile the government said it will greatly increase the fines for multiple offenses by these same drivers, should they occur. I am with the government here, and welcome such regulation, as opposed to Uber's 'rating system' for driver's, or whatever Uber calls it.
Full disclosure, I'm a bicyclist and a pedestrian, and I feel threatened lately with the increase of in-car gizmos, and I believe only government will help people like me, except when it doesn't.
This is an interesting premise, especially for I.T. workers. For everyone else, there's enough computer illiteracy and lack of access, (and apathy) that such a diversion isn't necessary. I think you can also draw a sort of curve, given to the age of people and what is expected of them in terms of computer literacy. That age curve also provides a relative form of plausible deniability. But IT workers are screwed in this way.
It looks like Adobe is trying sell tools, which is fair enough. Adobe Cloud is req'd. Does it run on Linux? The most detailed spec I could gather is:
The Architecture, MAC-friendliness, and the Boost (a la NOS!)
Flash Pro CC is a comprehensively refactored, modular, 64-bit application. During the course of this release, the entire code-base was refreshed to turn Flash Pro in to a native cocoa application.
I'm not talking about what OS the tool outputs to, what OS is required to run this hot new IDE from Adobe? Or is this one of these things that'll run in Chrome OS maybe, and be cross platform that way?
Have you any idea what percentage of the Tube's budget is allocated just to keep the underground from flooding; a rather large unseen yet vital issue? Have you any idea what percentage of the UK's GDP might be affected by such a breach in the underground transport system?
I believe at least 1/3 of the budget is used for flood control, although I welcome fact checkers' efforts.
Last I heard, 16% of the UK's GDP was the financial sector of London.

Sounds like a classic FUD move, by a huge player with vested interests in the Dumb Pipe market.

But what would that possibly accomplish? Or right, it can run Windows.
A few weekends ago I read about someone that can bootup Windows 95 on their smartwatch.

Larry Ellison doesn't have a boat that comes close to that. C'mon Larry, you're losing your Mojo dude! And its made in Korea!
Of course his (Russian) Mig29 could probably sink it.
