The problem is that your old keys and the messages they encrypted are available for cracking now and forever. Most people only encrypt important messages, which are easy to look for in a mailbox, and at a later time could be easy to crack. There's probably even a good change the data in that mail could still be important.
Now, if all emails were encrypted, it would be harder to immediately see what messages in a mailbox deserve your attention. But then at a later date CPU speed may make that a negligible difference.
Wow, that's a great policy. Because a giant video will kill the server less than a few HTML files. And frankly most here will either quit watching after the first minute or the first few pages of an HTML presentation anyway, so HTML wins, where the file requires you to download the whole thing before making a decision to only watch a tiny piece.
Sorry, but quicker turnaround does not change this. I have a Blockbuster a few blocks from my house where I do their 2-movie at a time Pass, essentially the same thing as a 2-movie Netflix account. There have been times where a movie has sat on the shelf for 2 weeks. This is very rare for me, as we usually watch it within a day or two and run down the block to turn it around. Blockbuster is definitely losing money on us.
Wowo, just like all the dozens of others that think they are going to kill YouTube. If Yahoo can't do it, then these little fly specks can't. Google is the closest competitor.
There are plenty that advertise paying you for your videos, but honestly its too much trouble for someone that just wants to post the 100,000th mentos and diet coke video or a video of some girlfriends talking about masturbation.
I think when referring to desktops, they mean user desktops in a corporate setting.
In our case, we do not back up the desktops and constantly remind people that if they do not sync their data to the file server, they will deserve the pain when (not if) the disk crashes. Everyone gets a quota on their personal area and we tell them not to save crap like MP3s or AVIs to the server or the files will not last long. This saves backup tapes for the actual corporate data.
Project data gets saved in project specific areas where they can be tiered like all other data on the server. No need to tier data for the desktop. They are free to save all their other stuff to their PC with the understanding that it will not be restored when the drive dies.
"Of course, most people doing PC-to-PC and PC-to-phone calling are probably using Firefox" I'd like to know which anus he pulled that out of. I use Firefox myself, but that comment (and the whole post for that matter) smacks of noobie stupidity. And this was accepted for posting? Me thinks that Slashdot is starting to slide toward the Digg level of submission quality with this type of crap.
Boo hoo hoo! Won't someone please release a patch for Windows 3.11 so that I'm not pwN3d every 5 minutes after I log in? I can't stand that no one makes software for it anymore.
I agree. Windows ME was some sort of half assed attempt to sell Win98 with a few of the freely downloadable things and some "enhancements" as a Windows 2000 Home Edition. Thank goodness I saved time and money by avoiding that crap.
Right on brother! I too am a simple man. All I need is my vt100 terminal and 9.6k modem. Now, can someone tell me what happened to all the BBSs? Perhaps I should try this Windows 3.1 I've been hearing about.
The cost of electricity 5 years down the line is probably going to play the biggest role in determining how much hardware you can run AND cool. Consolidating systems into VMs makes much more sense because a VM is not using its entire allocation of memory all the time, so it's easier to save on hardware and energy costs by having fewer systems - the VMWare mantra.
The only place I have seen that this is not true, is when you have a large compute farm, where each system is dedicated to running just that one job, which can take tons of memory (GBs) and always hits 100% CPU for thousands of jobs. In that case I would rather run without VMs because each machine is exactly the same as the next one and imaging a new system only takes a few minutes, localization and all.
Actually, with Windows Server 2003, you are allowed to either run 4 virtual copies off of one license or one physical copy off that single license. I'm sure that makes auditing licenses very much more confusing, but its obvious MSFT is pushing virtualization. VMWare really is a sweet setup and with the free player and lots of free GuestOS for Ubuntu and Fedora you can't afford to not try it out. If anything you no longer have an excuse for not deploying test environments before rolling something into production.
Yahoo's offering is definitely second (third?) to YouTube and Google Video. YT and GV offer a consistent interface, where in many cases the Yahoo link to the video can either display the video directly or in some cases takes you to the video's site. Very inconsistent.
How do computers do fare against Ishihara colorblindness tests? Besides helping prevent unauthorized intrusion, with certain layered test images, you can help the color vision impaired by accepting the values for both the impaired and unimpaired versions. See page 4 of the above link for how they are contructed.
I'm confused. Which are you advocating? a) Freezing them with fire retardant foam b) Hack off a few appendages with an axe c) Drowning d) All of the above in that order
Well, actually the spammers already have our addresses. Or haven't you noticed? I dont think they would have gone to such lengths to get what they already have.
When I tortured him repeatedly he confessed to being "a spanner, or whatever, just please stop!!!" so that was close enough for my taste. Remember a worldwide spammer bloodfest starts one village at a time. Now, does anyone have a very large collection of garbage bags I can borrow? It also looks like this village can go up on ebay since I couldn't be precise about who was and was not a spammer.
Hell, I use Linux for a desktop all the time! Through RealVNC. I use Linux for where it is best suited for me - on the server end, for things I would not trust Microsoft to do. For my full desktop, I use WinXP because I just want to watch the DVD or video or just burn a CD with the apps that are ready to use - I don't want to dick around with a conf file or args until I have appeased the gods of CLI. Sometimes you just want to watch a clip and then move on.
Perhaps they should work on an extension framework for 2.0 that will make it less likely that authors will write leaky extensions? Obviously the vast majority of extension authors are not getting the idea that they need to check the code.

Drives like the WD Caviar RAID Edition refresh the data during idle cycles.
You can pick up the WD4000YR 400GB SATA drive for about $150.

They were marketing as such, even though I thought it was a step back from 98. Gladly, that's the one MSFT OS I never experienced.

Forced frames == fucked.
Looks like the Gecko folks don't care for people running Win98/ME either.8 887

This is in direct contrast to people asking for GDrive. Either you want Google to have your data or you don't.

I think any one will do. Why be picky?

How centralized are torrents? Hmm? Hmmm?
Who attacked SETI? Have aliens been performing a DDOS attack on SETI?
I heard someone attacked SETI from orbit!!
