It's not at all hard to write a filesystem that can cope with not only damage, but even recurring damage. You've seen PAR files presumably? The same could easily be done on a filesystem-level basis (and I imagine, somewhere, already is for some specialist niche).
You mean like RAID-5? Because RAID-5 was part of the inspiration for the PAR2 format.
As an outsider, it seemed that the principles on which the US was founded could not be easily reconciled once it started picking up its own "colonies".
It could not be reconciled from the Declaration of Independence:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness
All men are created equal, except for non-land owners, slaves, Native Americans who could not vote and were discriminated against. Let's also not forget women, who couldn't vote in most states until the 1920s.
As an American who loves my country, I need to have the courage to face the reality --- that my country has ceased to be the land of the free, the home of the braves, but has turned into an empire which is moving towards oblivion
Not to be too glib, but the braves died out long ago under the watch of Andrew Jackson.
I have a serious question for you: why do you love your country? I can understand why one could love the ideals that your country was founded upon as they are beautiful. I can understanding wanting to get involved in politics to try and steer the country in a direction that you think is better than where it is now. Why a love of country, especially a country that has been doing immoral things for quite some time?
The last moral war the US fought, in my estimation, was World War II. It was declared by Congress, and the entire nation sacrificed for it. There was a draft. People left their comfortable jobs and went off to defend the world against tyranny, oppression, and genocide. There was a defined end goal.
Korea certainly did not fit that bill. Our entrance into Vietnam was based on lies. Beruit was Reagan trying to take the focus off Iran-Contra. The First Iraq War was based on lies and oil. Afghanistan was perhaps justified (though by no means moral, in my estimation). The Second Iraq War was also based on lies and oil.
The CIA has a track record of overthrowing democratically elected leaders if they judge them not in the best interests of the US. Remember the Iraninan hostage crisis? That was a response to the CIA reinstalling the Shah. Remember Saddam Hussein? The US put him in power.
Ever since the creation of the NSA and Hoover's reign at the FBI there has been spying on American citizens. Do not think that PRISM is new. The intelligence agencies have been making incremental gains towards it since the Red Scare. The biggest gain of all was convincing the public that CALEA compliance was important (that is, remote, digitally tappable equipment providing both voice and data flowing over the lines).
So, given all of that, why do you love your country?
We interrupt this program with a special bulletin.
America is now under martial law. All Constitutional rights have been suspended.
Stay in your homes. Do not attempt to contact loved ones, insurance agents, or attorneys. Shut up!
Do not attempt to think or depression may occur.
Stay in your homes! Curfew is at 7PM sharp after work Anyone caught outside the gates of their subdivision sector after dark will be shot! Remain calm, do not panic.
Your Neighborhood Watch officer will be by to collect urine samples in the morning. Anyone caught interfering with the collection of urine samples will be shot! Stay in your home, remain calm.
The number one enemy of progress is questions. National Security is more important than individual will.
All sports broadcasts will proceed as normal. No more than two people may gather anywhere without permission! Use only the drugs prescribed by your boss or supervisor. Shut up! Be happy!
Obey all orders without question. The comforts you demanded are now mandatory. Be happy!
(10:23:34 AM) info@adrianlamo.com: I’m a journalist and a minister. You can pick either, and treat this as a confession or an interview (never to be published) & enjoy a modicum of legal protection.
That sure sounds like a fucking solemn oath to me.
Adrian Lamo and Kevin Poulsen are rats and not to be trusted, and Wired is no longer the magazine of record for the technology industry. I have officially cancelled by subscription, and I seriously suggest that anybody who is interested in such a trashy rag read Vallywag for free.
For more evidence of Adrian Lamo being a lying rat bastard, listen to him try to explain himself as following his conscience in Informants Panel at The Next HOPE.
PS: He also lies about never having been controlling or being the subject of a restraining order. He is a real piece of trash.
I pirate HBO's shows because HBO wont let me get their shows with an iTunes purchase, they wont put them on Netflix and they seem to think I'll happily bend over and let them and Comcast have their way with my anal sphincter.
HBO shows are available from Netflix, but not Netflix streaming. I just got done watching True Blood last night.
I welcome this move. Sure hope you have enough of an infrastructure to keep, say, taxpayer SSNs, DOBs, mother's maiden names out of the cloud, not to mention the inevitable access to this cloud resource by the SIPRnet.
It's a good time for government transparency, whether intentional or not.
Is there any way that I can subscribe to his ISP, even if I'm not in the area? Someone like this should be rewarded for standing up for their principles.
When you go primarily from a content reproducer (Walkman, Discman, VHS VCR) to content producer (Sony Picture Studios, Sony Computer Entertainment), your view on fair use changes. Fair use is good when you are primarily a content reproducer as it ensures that people have a reason to buy your product. Fair use is no good when you are primarily a content producer as it gives people a reason to not buy another copy of your product.
I do realize this, but there are myriad of ways you can design a processor and you can implement the ARM instruction set in microcode if you so choose.
I'm more responding to the belief that processors in general cannot have bugs fixed in the field, not that ARM itself can be fixed with a microcode update.
This was one of my favorite features of Kirby Super Star for the SNES - you could summon a "helper" with special powers. If nobody was using the second controller, the game would control your helper, but the moment somebody pressed a button on the second controller, the helper was controlled by the second player. There are some places, especially in The Great Cave Adventure, where you NEED the help of the second player to collect all of the items (but not to beat the game, which can be done without collecting all of the items.
The helper couldn't "run out" of lives, though they could die, though it was a single button press by the first player to remake them. Items that regenerated health could be shared with the helper to regenerate their health an equal amount.
You do realize that ever since the Intel Pentium FDIV fiasco that their processors allow you to patch the microcode, right? It would be silly to think that you couldn't do the same with an ARM chip, especially when it's tracking a moving target like the CLR.
If you have enough signal for a voice call. My office is weird. I can't make a voice call, but I can text just fine.
There are plenty of situations where you have a radio signal strong enough and reliable enough for slow data but not for voice. Those are the kind of places that they're talking about.
There's a reason that you can get around the world with less than 5 watts of radio power on CW.
Pat Robertson never flew an airplane into a building or blew up a bus full of women and children.
You can bet your sweet ass that if Pat Robertson thought driving a bus full of true Christian believers who were willing to be martyrs into an abortion clinic would make him and the people that follow him martyrs and spark a great fundamentalist Christian conversion, he would do it in a fucking heartbeat.
He's smart enough to know that the backlash would destroy the evangelical movement, but don't think for a second that something similar hasn't crossed his mind.

Which both Candidate Obama and President Obama supported from the get go.
The fix is in, people. Do not worry though:
MIT has long since become a business incubator for the upper class that can make it into MIT and leave with no debt.
The hacker spirit at MIT is long dead. Only the zombie corpse of the hacker spirit lives on in people like Minsky.
As summarized humorously in this classic MTV commercial.

That's the beauty of a well-equipped Asterisk server: all of the convenience of direct SS7 access with none of that pesky paper trail!

There is no justice system in the US. There is only the legal system. Justice has no place in the legal system.

According to Wikipedia, all television signals have been transferred to other satellites. So unless your cable company hasn't received the memo, there should be no interruption of service.

Five years of working retail from 14-19 certainly taught me to hate the vast majority of humanity and swear like a sailor.
However, the good customers made up for the meager paycheck and the idiot boss.
