No law to worry about breaking if you don't know about them. Not much different than the po-dunk town I live in; I can't even go down to city hall (which is a tin shack add-on to the town repair shop) and get a written or verbal list of city law just because of the flat-out dis-organization and un-realization from the city counsel themselves. Seems to me people are doing them selves a favor in Schenectady not buying into this $200 joke. Just another botched, baseless and wasted revenue attempt IMHO.
Did Google CEO's mention quite a few months back that they were implementing data mining search technology to track viral pandemics against what people's keyword searches were for on Google? I wonder what happened of that. Maybe it'll show up on my new Google Dashboard.
Instead you can brag about how you're too good to have an account on any such sites.
...too good? or not a passive, social parasite looking for any outlet to 'get noticed' or 'get attention'. You choose to waste your time posting to the world about what you did every 5 minutes for the last hour with your My-Twit-Face account and 'hope' your friends make time to observe it. I simply take that time and spend it with my friends.
...no, it's not anything like that. It's so I don't have to be like you and brag about your mega-uber friend list which is solely derived off your MySpace hit counter. Friends don't comein quantities, they are counted by quality. Wait until the next viral social fag-wagon hits... you'll be the next emo kid to slit your wrists b/c you don't have any more "friends".
I feel it as a personal accomplishment I *dont* have social network accounts on Facebook, Myspace and alike. It's bad enough people openly don't care about privacy or salvaging their identity, but ITFA, this clearly lets you 0wn any account in an auto-login status. And the guy is absolutely right... what typical, non-aware user doesn't? Glad to see all those bad script-kiddie hack sites that boast breaking into social network accounts for $100 a pop will lose a bit of their income to buy Mt. Dew and oreos due to this being publicly uncovered...
Why is this even tech news worthy? It's pretty apparent to any *NIX junkie local exploits are JUST as alarming and harmful as external service or remote kernel exploits. If you're only worried about what external threats and this article caught you by surprise, you should probably go back to the drawing board... or read less/. and learn more about the OS you're supporting. In the Linux environment I support at work, my *biggest* threat are users who know just enough how to be dangerous... and if I see any trend, it's that local exploiting and vulnerabilities should hold a bit more focus an attention, especially with the rise with the Linux desktop movement and the Ubuntu bandwagon; regardless if the user is a power-user, Linux breathing fanatic or wanted to try a Live CD, it's the exposure and curiosity that will bite you on the frontline keeping your users in check.
Fd Linux was a pretty popular distro back in the day (cira ~2000) when floppy drives still thrived on sub-pentium machines. This was big competition against others like ZipSlack (Slackware on a ZIP disk) an LOAF (Linux On A Floppy) or muLinux. I really liked Fd Linux. I think development has tailored down quite a bit in the last 3/4 of a decade. However, this has all the console love one would need... it comes equipped with 'lynx' and a like. Hell it's even got limited hardware support for wifi (802.11b)... pretty sweet stuff on 1.44mb that's for sure.
FTFA, I can't help but notice... so where is this object that made the ~65 foot crater in the earth? I don't see it or anything of even substantial size in the crater hole to show what made that. I get the breakup that happens in the atmosphere, but there's nothing there to show what made the impact. Weird and spooky. Glad it's close to Halloween or I'd throw my 'conspiracy' flag up in the air in a heartbeat.
There's *still* so many incompatibilities with the co-existance of 32-bit and 64-bit apps between Windows (or Linux for that matter) that already don't play nice or work without a great deal of grunt work to make it work. And there's talk and development going on for 128-bit OS? Good thing it is *exactly* what Robert Morgan claimed it to be on his LinkedIn site: Research. It's like some people try to some how motivate Moore's Law to act and function at unrealistic speeds...
And a personal caveat: One more reason that social network is stupid and is a social pathogen that should be eradicated from the internet.
So the biggest complaint FTFA is the improvised/hobbiest/hurried/hasty assembly from Nvidia to make it for conference presentation? I'd say in the end it's still the card, it got demo'd and who cares. It'd be a different story if it was shipped out to the public consumer market that way, otherwise I wouldn't have a problem using it as long as it performed. Duct-tape Engineering at it's finest and it got Nvidia through their conference. I applaud. All that oppose, go cash your/. geek card in at the scrapbook store.
Weigh your laptop before and after you enter and leave the country... to do what? How are you going to detect a 15g to 100g logging circuit that's more than likely (if there was malicious espionage intent) designed to fit or mount into current hardware and not be detected on a scale that's accurate down to 0.5 pounds. My point, you're not.
I'm not ignorant to the fact that something as compact and sealed as a Mac Airbook or alike would take some real damn EE talent to pull something off but it's nice that ITFA they choose to have a separate laptop for overseas verses state side and re-images it when they leave. Just hope they practice good VPN security measures at their companies...
I'm not quite sure wtf I/my friends/my family/any creepy fucker online/joe random/internet-equipped chimp at NASA/anyone would want to know anyone's whereabouts or what they are doing every waking moment of the second. Twitter is a 21st century abomination in itself; too much hype for 160 characters, IMHO. I can think of plenty of the most boring piped together, reg-ex'ify'd *NIX commands that serve a better purpose than some Twitter posts in the same character count.
I believe people in less fortunate/democratic countries fight for their right of privacy, but it seems like all the social networking flamers feel quite happy giving that up, and to silicon America, mind you, for doing the 'in-crowd' thing.
I'm pretty damn proud of myself for *not* jumping a bandwagon such as this social networking toilet spin.
I bet this is the government's conspiracy theory secret plan to flip all those 'cash-for-clunkers' cars for good use and pocket the $50 Billion on booze, hookers and free lunches.
Someone remind me of this article on my 2 billionth birthday... then I'll be sure to have dug a hole, strapped on my uber thick 'Hancock' shades and living off of kitten jerky and my own urine by then.
Who said anything about/bin/ls (sounds to me you're being a bit troll-ish and off-topic for sure). This isn't a debate about architectures; you back up what you think is necessary for; 1) importance and 2) time saving in case of a disaster. From that aspect, it's almost wiser to back up the OS; if you're patching regularly, you've added that much more overhead to your re-build again.
I guess if you're intention is to quack about ~100K of disk space (or OS as a whole, 3-4GB tops per server) you're a fool at best.
And I'd also like to hear from anyone who has an LTO-4 in THEIR HOUSE backing up their home system. I think you missed the point: Tape is cheap for home solution if you aren't bleeding edge. I think that falls in line with *any* sort of media for home backup solution.
I use a pretty wide set of media for backups for my closet of hacked together servers; anywhere from SATA hard drives that I just hot-add and copy to, to still using CDs and DVD media for a tangible backup. But in the end, I really love tape. I've got a Dell Powervault 100T 20/40GB DDS-4 external SCSI tape drive ($40 eBay tops) and with a few open source tape backup tooks from freshmeat.net and a handful of tapes, I feel really confident in my backups.
To me, tapes have ALWAYS been a reliable tangible fashion to back super important data or server/OS content and get it back, reliably. I've been doing this really light setup for almost 3 years now and it's never failed me and it's really not that expensive at all if you stay on the back half of tape technology. Upfront cost wouldn't be any more than $100 if you did some serious online shopping for the tape drive, 5-10 tapes and a SCSI LV card.

Now that my future family dream to live on a white dwarf star has been crushed... my only hope is that black midget stars are better.

Why can't a pregnancy test be negative? It's called pregnancy test for a reason, not "Still a Whore" test.
