Well the reason they state this is that it is possible an old header to the encrypted volume could remain undeleted and that an attacker could use that old header to decrypt a reencrypted volume. SO if you fired an employee and changed the passfile or password, he might still be able to decrypt the container, for example.
everyone should have health insurance. what is so strange about that concept? what is preferable to you? people turned away from the hospital if they can't pay? you provide the straw man of the hard working person paying for the lazy man's healthcare.
I think you are a little confused about how healthcare works in the US. People cannot, by law, be turned away from a hospital due to their inability to pay. Most states do not even let a hospital ask if you *HAVE* insurance until after they treat you and are discharging you.
The problem with the US healthcare system is that the poor have to seek emergency care, which is by its very nature more expensive. Often times they can't afford it and the hospital then tries to recoup its losses by charging everyone else more.
As it is, an ounce of prevention is cheaper than a pound of cure. However, I got an email from a friend who lives in the Netherlands and has been sick for the last few weeks. She told me that her government healthcare is great right now because they have budget money (new fiscal year) to send her to a specialist (she is a cancer survivor) to make sure she is not in remission. She has had problems in the past getting appointments for the proper tests and specialists due to budget problems. That sounds pretty broken too.
As a hard working individual, who grew up without health insurance in the US, I'd rather have what I have now than to go to the doctor and not be seen in a timely manner due to budget shortfalls. And no, we didn't have health insurance because my parents were lazy, they just couldn't afford to insure the family when my dad was self-employed.
Ok, let me correct myself. They can use it for those purposes but not use that information for marketing purposes. Says so in the article. So if they need to store it for processing purposes, they may do so.
The other reason to ask for a zip code, even when you're paying cash, is to get demographic information for where your customers are. If you're getting a lot of customers from certain zip codes, it can help you plan where to open another store.
Very true! Which is why if I like the store I am often willing to provide my zip code just in the hopes they will open one closer to me!
You can still use the ZIP code to verify a transaction. You just can't store that information. That's all. I think its a good policy, though zip codes are a weak security system!
Funny thing is that most drivers licenses I have seen have the zip code right on them! So if your whole wallet goes missing and they have your ID, they can do whatever the hell they want with your card at the pump. And then because your zip was verified they will probably fight you on any fraudulent charges!
If you can find an original apple TV you can crack that thing open and install the full blown Mac OS on it. Haven't done it to mine, but I did do a hardware mod to mine and it was quite simple to do.
I managed to get mine off Craigslist from an upset college student who wanted mommy and daddy to buy him a bluray player and not an apple tv. The kid was so spoiled, and stupid, that he sold it to me for less than the going price of a used 40GB apple TV and when I got home I discovered it was 120GB model. I would have thought it were stolen if not for the fact that he told me he was a student at a very expensive private U, and he had an $80k+ SUV in the driveway of the huge house his parents bought him...
Sure there is a huge difference between Xbox and PS3 right now, from what I understand. I've heard (can't see for my self, but it is from a friend who does have Xbox + PS3), that people don't enjoy playing Call of Duty Black Ops all that much because the wide open PS3 is rampant with cheaters. Even with the Xbox being a little bit better controlled, you still run into people w/ aimbots and map mods and whatnot that they use to cheat, but its supposedly much worse on the PS3.
Well you know... if you used cruise control on the highway, you could just take your foot off of the gas and put it on the ground in front of the brake pedal. Either way, you are crazy for using both feet because you really are likely to hit both pedals in the case of a panicked stop. Sure the brakes may over power the engine, but you won't slow down nearly as fast.
As for the brakes being stronger than the engine... I had a light turbo powered car that I could have easily driven with the brakes on. It would have just taken a lot of gas. I've even moved a truck with the brakes on before. Your brakes may or may not be able to out power the engines, especially once they get hot.
This is the same Holy Constitution that started out only letting wealthy white men vote after all. The reason civil rights get violated and privacy has "issues" is because the book is still being written on this one.
To be fair to the founding fathers, I think the idealists among them knew that the constitution would not have passed in 1788 had it provided the right to vote to non-whites, and even non-land holders. I believe the idealists were hoping that at some point the majority of the people would Do The Right Thing and expand those rights when the political climate was most appropriate for them. You have to remember that it was a huge step for them to break away from a monarchy in the first place. Some things are best done by baby steps.
Unfortunately, those baby steps can go both ways, in not only expanding the rights of the people, but also in taking them away. The federal government has been expanding its powers through the abuse of the commerce clause of that very document. It has its flaws, definitely. But it was written by men and can be no perfect than anything else that men create.
Had this same thing happen to me this last year, actually. I didn't ask for the address, but I did call the police to file a police report. Their response was "Why are you calling us?" They filed a report but said it was useless. Thing is, I check my credit cards every freaking day. I caught that at 8am the day AFTER it happened. It probably hadn't even shipped yet. That would have made for a great stake out. It just made me feel like the law enforcement was being lazy (though they may have had more serious crimes, like murder to deal with?).
Anyway. I was going on a business trip the next day, so the bank agreed to keep the card open until I got back and then mailed a replacement card (new number) to my house the day before Thanksgiving. I was quite impressed with their customer service. The bank was Chase, but they said they normally don't overnight cards. I've been with them for about 10 years though and they wanted to make sure I was happy. It was literally no fuss.
Right, but to me the disconnect appears to be the unwillingness to accept that this information is now in the public domain.
I believe that they are quite aware that this information is well beyond their control. There are other reasons they don't want people accessing the information. I've sat through enough FBI and DSS security briefings to understand why they try to compartmentalize people's knowledge. For instance, it's possible that someone may read through the leaked documents and gain information that augments their present knowledge and then makes that individual a greater security risk (and a more valuable target to spies). This would not surprise me in the slightest, particularly with regards to embassy employees. In my case, this is highly unlikely.
The only reason that the editing concerns me is that there is no way to verify that the information Wikileaks provides is not edited in mass. By editing anything you begin to wonder if they edited anything else. They did supply the unedited video, which does mitigate this to a degree. But I believe you must take anything that Wikileaks provides with the same skepticism you might take the words of a politician, or any other public person.
The justification for this is that myself and my employer have both agreed to only view information for which I have proper classification for, and have a need to know. They do not look kindly upon people violating that agreement whether at home or at work. I actually work on training simulators for helicopter pilots, it's doubtful there is anything in "cablegate" that would be of any use to my work, anyway.
I will say that my experiences did give me a unique perspective when I saw the "Collateral Murder" wikileaks propaganda video. I think that Wikileaks provides a valuable service but editing and editorializing that particular video clip did not sit well with me.
I certainly don't look at Wikileaks, but am interested in what happens to Assange. Why don't I look? Because the DoD has told my employer that we could get into huge trouble if any of their employees look at Wikileaks in the office, and (lessor) trouble if we got caught looking from home!
Yes, we all know the problem is the moron who made an IP standard that wasn't backwards compatible with the established standard and therefore making it more difficult to convince the executives to spend money on solutions.
I was just in Breckenridge, CO for Christmas and I can report that they do the same sort of thing to keep the snow clear there, as well. I don't know that they tow cars, but no one seems to park cars on the street there in the first place.
There are times when top posting is appropriate and times when it is not. If you're going to reply to things inside the body of the sender's email then it is of the utmost importance to make it easy to distinguish between the original message and the reply. A lot of people on mailing lists fail miserably at that and it makes it difficult to read their response.
Actually, Google purchased the Android OS project in 2005, two years before Apple even announced they were working on the iPhone. I highly doubt that the notification bar or the pop-ups for text messages were added after the release of the iPhone. Further, because the Android OS is so open, you can have competing text messaging software with the stock Android software that provides even better functionality than that which is built in (Handcent, for example).

The lack of security of SSD's is not new! So unoriginal, in fact, that Truecrypt.org doesn't even recommend that you encrypt an SSD drive!
