So 4.5 hours isn't that bad, charging at 3 hours isn't that bad either. Why don't you just got outside and bike or run or walk or anything else in this time, it wont kill you.
On a serious note, 4.5 hours isn't that horrible. I mean yes we would like a much longer charge on the battery but at the same time it's 3D on a game system. I remember getting 4.5 hours on a cheap set of battery's on the grey gameboy and I was sound as a pound. I didn't even get new battery's for a few days being I was in grade 2, the kids will live trust me.
It's rather easy to encrypt modem data, so well it does have to be open, it doesn't have to be unsecured. I'm still not sure it's entirely his fault, I think there is some ownership that needs to be placed the people who's computers carried out the act of dialing the numbers. Just like your responsible if a kid falls into your pool if it's not blocked off properly, you should be responsible if you computer is not secured properly and carry's out an act such as this.
The hardware port needs to be open yes, but the hardware port can still have simple rules set on it, not to mention you can decrypt on SOME modems, not all but some. It's actually a CCNA lab you can take during the training. I'm NOT saying that these people would know enough or should know enough to configure modem based network security but none the less it is possible to have a secure modem.
A) Did these people not scan there computer reasonably enough to detect the malware.
B) Did these people run a completely insecure OS allowing them to be infected
C) DId these people have enough common sense to run firewall software to prevent the infection
D) Did they not notice there modems dial out to a number they didn't authorize
Now I will grant that this guy should be punished, BUT i think there is or should be a reasonable assumption that computer users have to protect and check there own PC's and it's not entirely his fault, Now if the malware dialed once for a short short burst and never again then it can all be put on the guy who developed the malware, however if there was enough time in the attack to scan and detect the malware then he's not entirely to blame.
If these people didn't take the right steps to protect there computers then it's kind of like someone with an unsecured access point complaining when other people use there router, to a lesser extent even a WEP encrypted router. For once can we point out the fact that most users, present company excluded are really just not secure enough on there PC's .
Over all if there's nothing the users could do and they were completely the victim then fine, they can't be blamed. I'd be very very surprised if most of the reason this happened wasn't because the PC's were unsecure, running a horrible OS and sitting on a unsecured network with no firewall and virus/ spyware/ malware software.
My data shouldn't be easy to get off, I know a while ago there was a post about SSD's being high risk for data but now it appears there more safe? If the police want my data they can figure out how to get it off, of course if I'm doing something illegal I'd have it highly encrypted but then again why would I care. They want the data they can work to get it!
It's never been a good Linux system, sure it took the configuration away but it left the user with a bloated and slow system. If thats what you want just run windows.
There is no reason to wire that much money to several bank account for an online girl friend, if she's worth $200 000 why didn't she move to him and then he would know she's safe. Move Before she was kidnapped of course.
Key logging software is not the solutions to kids being in danger on the computer. I don't want to make a percentage but I'm sure the number of computers under secured is above 70%. Key logging does not keep kids safe and it does no prevent any issue. What parents need to do is to use high level security firewalls and filters to block kids from being able to get to far on the Internet.
On more then 1 occasion I've been told by family member that there computer is secure because they have norton. When you end up looking at there setup it's so sloppy and grade 8 hacker could reroute it, which also means that a click kid on a mouse can get around it. What really needs to happen is parent have to be taught about how computer security really works and how to setup security so it's effective. The key logger is just the icing on the cake, but its in no way a prevention method.
Fair enough, as for the universe thing I 've seen it swing from 10 - 20 so I really don't know what to pick. I've also heard it nailed into like 13.1 etc... It's still pretty wide. Now I will admit that 13.6 is a great estimate I mean when you leave the billions that's okay. That would be acceptable accuracy.
Okay so it's not so secure, for secure data use secure highly encrypted mediums. If you encrypt the data on the SSD does it matter how much is left, if you end up with encrypted data how can anyone use it with no clue on how it was encrypted, for going good crackers and hackers. I'd assume there not pulling off full data, just fragmented data so that's even harder to put together.
2 and 10, That's not a very good re-guess. I mean it's kinda like when they say the universe is between 10 - 20 billion years old. You need to be a lot more certain, I would give them 9-10 times but 2 - 10 is just to wide a range. It would be like me saying I'm anywhere from 1 to 100 years old and being fine with that range.
Why not take these hackers and hire them on to find out where to increase security. Or an even better idea release 1 version of the PS3 to be hacked as a fun HIY (Hack it Yourself) project and one that can't be. The HIY wouldn't be allowed on the same network. I really don't see this big issue with this, the hackers are showing Sony where they need to improve so now Sony needs to take that information and create a better product with it.
Even if the problem is in hardware you can do alot of stuff with low level bootrom code to make security interrupts that can block / patch hardware low level attacks.
He's completely right, That's not a Troll comment at all. To defend him Balmer did say "Linux is a cancer" so I don't really see your point holding up well. When you don't know what a Troll is it's easy to call them out, Your a car, isn't a car someone who calls a troll wrong?
No a car is not that, just like the com64 isn't a Troll, you just think he is for this comment. I haven't read his other stuff but this one is fine and right.
There just worried that people will start seeing how much better open source is as an over all concept, so it's just better to ban it before Microsoft needs to explain why there not open source.
This is a great reason to NOT have a auto mount enabled. Don't get me wrong I do enjoy auto-mount but at the same time it has a good deal of risk with it because you can't unintentionally mount a FS you didn't mean to.
I like you post, Thanks for your reply. To be correct i should really change the post I made to read my preferred GUN / Linux setup and not the generic. I respect your view point.
If your beginning the trip down uC lane and your looking to get into amateur projects
For amateur projects I said it's one of the best!!, I stand by that. Sure there are better industry and consumer level uC's for people who are designed larger projects but over all the Arduino + AVR uC is a great board and uC for people beginning or that want a reliable platform.
I love the Arduino, it's one of the best uC's I've ever used. It has a top notch C environment, good source of compilers and resources and amazing support through forms. If your beginning the trip down uC lane and your looking to get into amateur projects then I highly recommend the Arduino. It so nice to work with that in college we used it power are third year project.
I know I can't spell and I know my grammar is horrible, but thats what happens when you have a learning disability. If you want to write a book have fun, I don't. You apparently can't read in any capacity other then to correct my spelling and grammar. You just like every other person to respond has managed to pull sentences and quotes out of my post which don't exist. I never said the kernel has an opinion. It's one thing to have bad spelling it's completely another to see sentences and quotes which don't exist. Clearly your in the group of people who see the sentences which aren't there, get some help!!!!!
Fair enough, your points work. However I have ported some projects to run on different hardware. I love people that seem to read this line about me being better then them, which it never says in my post. If someone wants to quote it for me word for word then then I'll shut up but they can't because it never actually says that anywhere. So just for the record people can read this:
I'm NOT better then anyone, just I run better Linux distro's
I had to use ASM because the timer's we had were buggy in C and kept skipping every few days on the time period, I'll dig the code up and send it to you.
Debian and debian derived projects are for people that are to lazy to use a real Linux system. Any Linux user who is lazy enough to rely on the binary Linux distro's are really just admitting they don't actually want to put the time into learning source based Linux.
Ubuntu well the most popular distro is becoming so much like Windows it's disgusting, Any ubuntu based distro is just ripping off a poorly designed root. Debian might matter in the grand scheme being it's one of the big distro's that started off Linux but now it's a bloated Linux distro which spawns children that aren't bringing Linux's best features to table.
If you want to call yourself a Linux user, take a LFS cd and start compiling, if your not going to make your own distro using LFS then grab a good distrobution that actually makes Linux use act the way it's meant to be used. Slackware, Gentoo, Rock, T2 are all great distro's because they force the user to actually know thats going on with there system and care about how there system works. Ubuntu on the other hand cares more about how the user can use there webcam or get on facebook then about how the system runs.
The binary vs source argument has been long made and long argued but the fact is that you CAN NOT get the performance specs out of a binary distro and that just doesn't seem right, at least to me. When you have the chance to get your hardware to run faster and run with the exact feature you dictate then why wouldn't you choose that path. If you experienced then it's not alot of work to learn how, if you learning how then it's worth the time to learn the right way, Once you know the right away your not going to want to go to the debian style distro's unless your lazy and if your lazy then don't use Linux.
Linux is meant for computer users who care and when you go binary your not caring your just using and that is not a good methodology to live by.

One more hour of having your wife in bed with you, that would but a strain on my heart.
Looks good, but then again I've always needed the max and min buttons. It will come down how quick you can adapt.

That would work but I have ........... in OS class it was like 2000 lines of x86 assembler. Then I rewrote it in C to see the speed difference.
