btw, that SL8500 has what appears to be a max capacity of 90 Petabytes (!!!) so i'm wondering.. who would have that much data to backup? I can think of lots of businesses with large amounts of data.. but 90,000,000,000,000,000 is a huge number. Anyone I can think of who would have data that size would probably over write much of it quickly. Like google is always updating their databases, fFor example. And i believe the government prefers dead-trees.
For one I think CERN expects to generate on the order of 4 petabytes of data per year in a year or two. I think other large particle colliders may generate the same amount of data. Other places that might generate the same amount of that are pharmaceutical and genetics/proteomics/biology related projects.
No it isn't. Attach your wireless access points to a router, set the router to reject non vpn connections, and use strong crypto to encrypt and authenticate vpn connections.
1 Rogue acces point and all your passwords are belong to us.
2 deassociate the hell out of them waiting as long that they give up those fancy dandy little VPNs of their, or wifi all the way for cable.
Nothing prevents users from installing a rogue access point on a regular wired connection so that point doesn't really count. If you're worried about someone on the internal network intercepting communications then you can use encryption all the way to the internal server that provides the service the client is requesting or to internet gateway.
As for point 2, a DOS attack doesn't compromise security. It just means that the target will either switch over to a physical cabling or spend some time identifying the location of the attacker. Remember, that in order to mess up the wireless connections, you have to transmit signals and that can be used to locate the transmitter.
In either of your cases, the user isn't any more vulnerable to a compromise then someone on a wired connection.
No it isn't. Attach your wireless access points to a router, set the router to reject non vpn connections, and use strong crypto to encrypt and authenticate vpn connections.
If your attackers can get through that then give up since they've probably already installed loggers and bugged your home.
It is the same thing to the general riding public, especially when it's a casual rider astride one of these creations. Slashdot is the general listening public. Neither speaks to the quality of the device itself.
Actually, it's not. Take the $7000 bike, there are objective differences in the bike that can be observed by anyone. E.g. it weighs 1kg less, it's rolling resistance is 10% less, etc.
The stereophiles tend to claim subjective differences and say that they can hear things that can't be detected by instruments. Add in the fact that most refuse to do A/B double-blind tests on components and the propensity to claim things that don't make sense physically (putting green ink on the edge of cds, randomly placing discs in a room to "clean" up the sound) and it's easy to see why people don't buy into most stereophile's claims.
FD2 doesn't come with a boot floppy image. My Linux box doesn't support boot from CD, so I couldn't even install it. That seems silly.
The reason why boot floppies aren't available is that the 2.6 kernel image no longer fits on a floppy. The bootloaders don't handle loading a kernel image that's split between floppies and stripping down the kernel to the bare essentials apparently doesn't help.
You're getting your tactics mixed up. Some are OK by the Geneva Convention, some are not.
Sexual humiliation -- Not OK.
Sleep deprivation -- OK.
Violent beatings -- Not OK.
*Threat* of beatings -- OK.
Causing pain -- Not OK.
Witholding pain medication -- OK.
Physical disfigurement -- Not OK.
Loud music -- OK.
Etc, etc.. You get the idea, the Geneva Convention is surprisingly flexible.
You're wrong. The geneva convention prohibits physical and moral coericion including threats.
In particular,
Art. 27. Protected persons are entitled, in all circumstances, to respect for their persons, their honour, their family rights, their religious convictions and practices, and their manners and customs. They shall at all times be humanely treated, and shall be protected especially against all acts of violence or threats thereof and against insults and public curiosity.
Art. 31. No physical or moral coercion shall be exercised against protected persons, in particular to obtain information from them or from third parties.
So withholding pain meds, sleep deprivation, threats of torture, loud starvation, etc. are not okay according to the convention.
Also, threats of physical violence don't really do much unless it's credible in which case someone probably gets hurt in order to make sure prisoners understand that they might be next or that the interrogators are willing to go further.
Yeah, wrist and/or ankle weights change your weight distribution and puts odd stresses on your joints. They tend to mess up your biomechanics and in the end increase the chances that you'll get some sort of overuse injury.
I guess everyone else doesn't have too worry about your group. David Beckham is an overhyped soccer player who is above average but not spectacular when compared to other superstar players. On real madrid, he's probably the 4 or 5th best player.
Despite what you said, if you look at bug 7959 in the mandrake bug database, you'll see that official still has the problem. Mandrake's fix is apparently setting the bios mode to lba before installation. However some people have reported the problem is still around with this workaround in effect.
Besides, Mandrake has a 2.6 kernel and doesn't have this problem. Sounds like bad QC on the Fedora group.
Actually if you check Mandrake's bugzilla, they have the same problem. You can check it out at here. Mandrake listed the bug as resolved/fixed although it doesn't look like it actually was fixed.
Netherlands is Flat, it's mostly those darn hills that interfere with wireless.
The Netherlands is pretty flat except for those buildings and homes that stick up and block line of sight transmissions. I'm sure that a neighborhood won't have those pesky buildings, trees and similar things that could potential block line of sight to people's homes.
Intel has a design center in Austin, Texas. Tulsa, Tejas, and Prescott where designed there and Tulsa is a city in Texas. Alternatively it might be named after the more well known city in Oklahoma.
Intel picks code names based on geographical locations near the place where the chip is designed. So the chips designed in Oregon have code names taken from places or things in Oregon. Likewise the Pentium-M chips designed in Israel have code names based on locations in Israel.
An electron beam, on the other hand, is just that, a beam of electrons. And electrons do not pose a radiation hazard.
Hmmm... and that's why the radiation that plutonium emits is harmless (beta radiation = electrons). Incidentally, any electron beam traveling in an curved path emits radiation including x and gamma rays depending on the parameters. Likewise, stopping an electron beam with something like a metal block gives you x-rays if the electrons are travelling quickly enough.
You fell for it. It wouldn't be a secret message if any average programmer could figure it out in 5 minutes or less. The message is actually encrypted using a one-time pad. The real message is.... actually you should figure it out on your own.
A little warning though, some incorrect one-time keys will give you grammatically correct english messages. Those messages won't be correct however.
The only problem is that the space junk can be traveling a few hundred mph relative to each other, so it can make for some pretty spectacular collisions should it ever happen (and its been speculated that certain impressions and chips in the Hubble, for example, were caused by "paint chips", although I'd speculate it's just comet dust or other natural space debris).
The problem isn't the big stuff, it's the small things. Taking your example of collisons, suppose you have a small piece of metal colliding with a satellite. If the relative velocities are large enough, you get a nice spray of particles from the collision. Now each of the particles is potentially dangerous if it's of a fair size (paint chip size) and it's relative velocity is great enough.
Although there is a lot of space up there, there aren't as many useful orbits. Take for example geostationary orbits. There's a small band where you can park satellites to get this orbit. Of course that is where debris is most likely to be since the satellites are the ones presumably generating the junk through a variety of ways (shedding material, collisions, etc).
I'm surprised that more people have made jokes about grits especially hot grits placed in various people's pants. It's a story about grit for god's sake. This is like having a story about computer clusters and not seeing any jokes about beowulf clusters.
When was the last time you heard NWA on the Radio? They are not talking about censoring everything. Just public broadcasts. Personally I agree with them. Broadcast TV and Radio has gone too far.
I've heard it with a bunch of other songs like cop-killer as well as some fairly abrasive punk songs in the 94-96 timeframe. There was a radio station (Radio Free 102.7) that had uncensored music on between 11 and 12 each night. Apparently it was kosher with the FCC since it was late night broadcasts.
It's easy to find real-life applications that are serving single clients. Look at most message boards. Most varieties of PHP messages boards I've seen use MySQL as the back end. In that setup, there is only a single client. The web server is the client. The web server itself may have multiple clients, but nonetheless, the database is serving a single client.
That's not a single client. Unless the message board only has one user on it at a time, it has multiple clients accessing and updating the messageboard at the same time.
It's companies like this that really have the confidence and trust of the 'mass' market. By openly supporting and helping people that will for the most part not give them any return they really show up the likes of SCO with all the crap they have been shovelling out of their head office.
What are you talking about? MySQL AB changed the client libs from LGPL to GPL. That messed up a lot of things but it theoretically generates more commerical licenses for MySQL AB.
Add in the unusual gpl interpetation by MySQL AB where programs that use mysql for commericial use are required to get the commericial license and where distribution is interpeted to be copying the program between servers even within the same company and you have a company that is doing it's best to create FUD and force companies into buying commericial mysql licenses.
Oh yeah, the developers made vague noises about how people reverse engineering the client/server protocol and creating an alternate license may get sued by MySQL AB.
First off, almost all those things you mention aren't an issue in MySQL anymore. Maybe back in 3.23, but as far as 5.0 and 4.1 go, they've disappeared. MySQL has always been built with speed in mind. It deviates from the SQL standard when necessary and has been slower to implement all of the standard, but! Everything that's implemented is done with speed in mind. So it has a huge speed advantage over almost every database out there.
Why do mysql supporters always bring up how version 4.1 or 5 will support a feature. It's utter bs to compare features that are available on a stable release that have been around for several years with features that are in either in alpha code (mysql 4.1) or a future version (mysql 5.0). Not to mention that features that were supposed to have been in mysql 4.0 have been pushed back to 4.1 and may get pushed back again.
By that logic, postgresql has point in time restore (PITR) support which mysql hasn't even mentioned. PITR lets you restore the database to a given point in time. E.g. your program went crazy and deleted a bunch of entries that you need. With PITR you restore the database back to just before the data was deleted. Postgresql 7.5 is going to support this.
Incidentally, mysql's speed seems to be missing if you start looking at performance with multiple clients querying the database or when queries get more complicated. Mysql also tends to be okay with incorrect or wrong behaviour if that increases speed.
Dude, your brain can figure out if a program will halt on a given input (obviously not all brains for all problems, but point still stands.) A computer can't, and will never be able to with our current models. It's called the halting problem, look it up. There are many problems like this... computers are great tools but they aren't the holy grail of problem solving. Sorry.
That's just so wrong. No one has shown that there exists a person that can figure out whether a program will halt a given input. People may be able to do subsets of these but no one can has been able to show that a person's brain can figure this out in all situations.
Incidentally, you can write programs that will analyze certain programs and figure out whether it will halt on certain inputs. Just because the general case hasn't been solved, it isn't necessarily true that specific cases are also unsolvable. A trivial example would be to check a program for a loop with an exit conditiion that can't be solved.

Not really, since McGuyver and and the Professor are fictional characters, DaVinci wins by default.

The would have been out a lot sooner but companies are still having problems with the panels randomly blowing up and injuring people using them.
That's not a single client. Unless the message board only has one user on it at a time, it has multiple clients accessing and updating the messageboard at the same time.
