And after all that, once your encrypted is duly decrypted by you it is displayed on the screen in cleartext. The hypothetical malware running on your untrustworthy PC simply swipes is out of the frame buffer and sends it to your enemy. (It might even encrypt it before sending it, sweet irony.;-)
Hypotehtical perhaps, but quite doable. Bottom line is if you ever look at your data in cleartext at any time on any device I've already pwned you. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
Unfortunately, not even that is enough. The current issue of 2600 magazine has a "how-to" article on breaking full disk security. Won't spoil the story by giving it away, but it does raise some question about depending on encryption for security in general.
Problem is the Google ad model is an auction model. How do you know you win? Your arch enemy might put your license plate/face etc in all the wrong places simply by outbidding you...
And neanderthal men have dna that's different from ours by only a handful of features. This supports the widely accepted theory that a large portion of violent crimes are committed by time traveling neanderthals and their pet chimps.
Actually, I thought tfa explained quite well how they look at specific non-coding markers in order to increase the signal to noise ratio. The noise being dna that codes for proteins common to most living organisms.
Not apples to apples: Oracle XE has severe limitations that affects scalability/usability: Max 4GB of data, max 1 CPU, max 1GB of RAM usage, only 1 running instance etc. etc.
More important to a corporate user is that XE is unsupported, closed source software whereas PostgresQL has corporate support and is open source. "Free" as in no cost is not the big issue here.
EnterpriseDB is a company that offers commercial support for PostgresQL. They have salaried people on staff that contribute to the project, much like IBM, RedHat etc. contribute to the Linux kernel. So I would say Monty's scenario is about as likely as Linux going away by Microsoft or Apple paying off the to 20 kernel developers. Some people just don't get how open source works.
Taking drugs means your body never learns to fend for itself, like a spoiled brat.
Nah, not quite. Let's clarify a couple of things: The appearance of resistant strains have little to do with an individual's immune system, use of hand sanitizers, drug-taking habits and so on. It has almost everything to do with competition between bacteria in a population. Healthy humans almost always have Staph aureus on their skin, and they rarely get sick from them. Our immune systems have evolved to handle them quite well. In certain scenarios they can get the upper hand, and it is probably time for an antibiotic. So far so good. Now, if we introduce antibiotics liberally into the lives of Staph aureus in general, the bacteria that are resistant will get an evolutionary advantage over those that aren't. They will thrive and multiply at the expense of the others. The result is that there will be proportionally more resistant bacteria around. So what happens is that in the quite unlikely event that you do get sick from Staph aureus the chance of the culprit being resistant is higher.
And it has very little to do with your individual use of antibiotics, your personal hygiene, your birth sign etc. In a sense it's not a personal issue at all, it has more to do with the collective behavior of populations such as Norwegians versus Americans. So what TFA really suggests is that even if you are an individual in the US who never used an antibiotic and never wash your hands you're still more at risk of getting MRSA than if you are an individual eat antibiotics every day and wash your hands every five minutes in Norway, simply because of the increased likelihood of running into a resistant strain.
Slashdot Mirror
And the other half runs Linux!
And here I was all along believing it had something to do with Bruce Willis!
When I saw "android market" I had visions of Star wars and little Annikin. Turned out to be about some stupid phone. Yawn.
Which is why the SPARC architecture is superior! (That was a joke, ok?)
So does the end of gravity mean we will all be flung off into space? If so, I have to say Verlinde sucks!
There. That should save everyone some time.
Not so fast, Mister. Where's the car analogy?
They promised us high speed communication via carbon nanotubes - and this is what we got. Just like that flying car they promised. :)
No, actually I think they use some kind of pump to achieve the suction. :)

No, I'm not kidding.
I'm really sorry to hear that
have a nice day
Let's establish some ground rules: I'll have any kind of day I want, ok?
If not lap tops, maybe tank tops?
The word you're looking for is "see-thru".

Google never heard of "Where's Waldo?"

Correct. And don't forget multi-state lotteries!
The Copenhagen interpretation sucks. I for one favor the Skoal interpretation of QM.
some seemed to think that the universe could be understood through geometry alone.
We now know better: It takes geometry plus slashdot to fully understand the universe.

non-resistent strep strains
Poor wording indeed: The "S" in MRSA stands for Staphylococcus, not Streptococcus. Oops. Alphabet soup can be difficult to digest, apparently. ;-)
Agreed. The best cars are the ones that crash several times a day. (Unless they stall and have to be restarted.)
