She's a third year physics major. She knows exactly what she wants. MBPs, fuck off with that fanboy shit. You've never used OS X UNIX if you think it's anything like GNU.
Maybe she does. Or maybe she wants a general Linuxy feel, where you can open a bash shell, run vim inside emacs and 'rm -rf *' does what you expect. The mac works fine for this and the hardware is very good.
You can run Linux on a mac if you want to.
A Macbook Pro is a good answer. Any number of modern PC laptops would be fine also. There's no obvious best choice.
Second, what's you're requirement for not having the security benefit? Given that certs are about $10 a year and require negligible resources, what is your compelling reason for not having encryption by default?
Don't the government have their own CA? The cost to cut a cert should be less than $0.04. I know this because I've set up a real CA and $0.04 per cert included the costs of the operations along with the profit. The actual computing cost is negligible. The costs are the premises and pay for employees, spread out across all the certs they cut.
I'm referring to the early 80s, with things like Hard Hat Mack, Archon II, Pinball Construction Set, The Bard's Tale. At that age I was a consumer, not a developer. I missed the Nintendo thing, since I had 'real' computers.
So it's safe to say the rot happened sometime between 1985 and 1995.
he pulled an app off a public website, got it running on my computer in minutes and before we were done with dinner he had my wifi password
Presumably something you had recently typed and was in memory, had stored in a file, or had typed while the program was running. Your friend showed you a magic trick. "Look over here at my right hand while it does something awesome. Now look in my left hand to see what my right hand did!" It was his left hand all along.
It's ok, he'd never do that. He's just a friend studying security at college...
That's the first review of Cities I've seen. I've seen plenty of ads, because they're pushing it hard.
Anyway, I don't usually buy new games for full price. Steam is golden for waiting a few months and buying them when they do a special. I got FarCry4 this weekend on the weekend special. It'll last me through until Cities is on a special and by then the reviews will be in and I can know if it's worth it.
"DLC = unfinished game from price-gouging publisher"
No, not always. I can think of more than a few games where DLC released after the fact added huge value to an already good game. Speaking in absolutes just makes you sound like an idiot.
Rocksmith 2014.
Moar DLC! It made me unreasonably happy when they released Motorhead's Ace of Spades as a DLC a few weeks ago. $2.99 well spent.
The managers from EA were obsessed with the milestones. What was important was not the game, but the progress towards its completion, so we had a fixed schedule, and we had to deliver the game at these schedules. If you screwed your schedule, you were dead, since they paid when a milestone was reached. It was pretty arbitrary.
The game was cancelled before its end, once they realized that it was not even amusing and probably also because they killed games that had no commercial potential.
I doubt they changed much since this time.
I remember EA back in the Apple ][ days. They made some awesome games of clearly higher quality than everyone else. I remember reading how they set up to achieve that, because they were dissatisfied with the products they were seeing.
Right. TKIP was deprecated years ago. Even when it was standardized it was described as a TSN (Transitional Security Network), to tide lower compute power devices over until they deployed new silicon with the RSN (Robust Security Network) protocols.
A 12 character, alphanumeric + special character password, uniformly generated is about 70 bits of entropy. The pbkdf2 invocation to generate the PMK has 4096 iterations, causing the brute force attack to need to perform on average ~ 2^81 hashes before finding a password. This would not happen over lunch.
Did your friend's tool actually break WEP instead of WPA-2? Or did you have a weak password? Or were you using a weak EAP method? Or what other form of BS are you talking?
Until the price dropped and it became uneconomic. Current fracking is just using sunk infrastructure costs, but unless the price goes back up again, fracking will die.
The kernels default should be the revision the kernel implements. If the kernel implements five the value should be five. A report_acpi_ver= flag seems like a perfectly reasonable solution, but it should be up to the distros to override that with their boot loader configs; where someone might actually see it. If its really such a common problem that it makes sense to do that widely out of box in the first place.
Software should do the least astonishing thing, and I think having the kernel inaccurately report acpi support would qualify as astonishing.
Isn't working properly the least astonishing thing?
I use XCode on the Mac. I use Python and assembler and C and a few other things on Linux. I use Windows because my employer shoves it onto my work laptop, but only to VNC or SSH into machines on which I do real work (System Verilog).
I don't write big GUI apps. I do care about making sure the underlying hardware does what it is supposed to do. If it's not esoteric hardware details, it's not really my thing, unless it's a POS for a yarn store, which is punishment for something bad I did in an earlier life.
For a single machine, the Mac is the best compromise, since I can pull up a bash shell and do unixy things, but my job has me doing things on all classes of machine from the smallest microcontroller to the beastliest Xeon.
Slashdot Mirror
More like for 100% of tasks.
I tried invoking it on the Linux server that runs my back end and it couldn't even find it. It's worse than useless for that task.

But I play steam games on an overpowered desktop machine with an overpowered graphics card.
It's not a problem to leave the ethernet plugged in.

Once upon a time, I worked for EA.
The managers from EA were obsessed with the milestones.
What was important was not the game, but the progress towards its completion, so we had a fixed schedule, and we had to deliver the game at these schedules.

Something changed pretty radically.

You are talking about breaking passwords, not the encryption scheme, which comes later.
Password -> PMK -> 4 way handshake (session key establishment) -> Authenticated encryption (link cipher).
A 12 character, alphanumeric + special character password, uniformly generated is about 70 bits of entropy. The pbkdf2 invocation to generate the PMK has 4096 iterations, causing the brute force attack to need to perform on average ~ 2^81 hashes before finding a password. This would not happen over lunch.
Did your friend's tool actually break WEP instead of WPA-2? Or did you have a weak password? Or were you using a weak EAP method? Or what other form of BS are you talking?
Except that it's a known key with a known loophole?
You may as well try to tell me WPA-2 encryption is meaningful. It's not.
WPA-2 Encryption is an AE (Authenticated Encryption) mode AES-CCM (CTR with CBC-Mac). It has formally proven cryptographic properties.
What is your problem with it?
>typinf
Alas I'm not typing on it right now.
>Not everyone likes the layout of the HHKB
Until they've used it for a while. The right pinky-fn + arrow keys is genius. You don't have to take your hands from the typinf zone.
Ding Dong! We have a winner.
Happy Hacking Pro 2. I dropped a wedge of cash last month to replace my (non pro) HHKB lite with a Pro 2. It's incomparable.
I guess you get two chances before you're out.
What's it like to have no soul?
Universally the case?
Try telling Marvin Gaye that.
Until the price dropped and it became uneconomic. Current fracking is just using sunk infrastructure costs, but unless the price goes back up again, fracking will die.
If you thought it was easy to cure all the world's ills, wouldn't you expect it to of already happened?
The world doesn't stop on a dime, it takes time to switch to low CO2 technologies.
That's if you fix it at the consumption end.
At the supply end it take a few good armies to stop everyone digging it out of the ground and burning it.
Ahh, I see, so you actually _do_ know what it's about, but were feigning ignorance to appear smug and superior.
Very good, carry on.
To be frank, I wasn't really anticipating an 'insightful' rating. CGI works fine for my purposes, but I don't make pretty, interactive websites.

You must be new to computers.
Yes. All the way down to tiny cpus in tiny sensors.
If you use XCode then why would you want Linux?
I use XCode on the Mac.
I use Python and assembler and C and a few other things on Linux.
I use Windows because my employer shoves it onto my work laptop, but only to VNC or SSH into machines on which I do real work (System Verilog).

So long as they leave Sniper Elite 3 alone, I'm safe.
