Hmm I'm done working with this sensitive data I think I'll put my laptop into suspend mode and leave this coffee shop to go home. But first let me go order one more for the road... Oh no I'm back with my drink and my laptop's gone. Good thing I encrypted my hard drive, my work will just buy me a new one and since all of the sensitive data was encrypted no problem I'll just pull the latest copy from the server and resume my work, none of the customers need to know that that all 1.5 million social security numbers, birth dates and addresses were stolen because it's impossible to decrypt the data on the drive.
It's easy to check for random versus encrypted.
Random is not compressible, encrypted is. Encrypt something with gpg then try and compress it, i think youl'l find it quite difficult
[root@dbserver root]# dd if=/dev/zero of=tmp.fil bs=1M count=20 20+0 records in 20+0 records out [root@dbserver root]# ls -al tmp.fil 21M -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 20M Feb 21 17:56 tmp.fil [root@dbserver root]#/usr/bin/gpg -z 0 --no-tty --batch --output tmp.fil.gpg --encrypt --recipient "XXX XXX <XXX.XXX@XXX>com> tmp.fil\ [root@dbserver root]# du -sh tmp.fil* 21M tmp.fil 21M tmp.fil.gpg [root@dbserver root]# gzip -9 tmp.fil [root@dbserver root]# gzip -9 tmp.fil.gpg [root@dbserver root]# du -sh tmp.fil.* 21M tmp.fil.gpg.gz 20K tmp.fil.gz [root@dbserver root]#
strange.. looks like encrypted isn't very compressible at all.
Glorified text editor? Have you ever developed real software or just cobbled together glueware shit that UNIX sysadmins-cum-developers call "software"? If you're not using an IDE you're probably not a very efficient developer. In fact, you're probably an asshole if you're a software developer who doesn't use an IDE in all but a few specific areas of development. e.g. I'd give device driver writers a pass if they use vi and 'make'. If you can't develop without an IDE you are probably not a very effective developer. The ability to program without fancy things like IntelliSense and code completion is a very good measure of programming skill. I use IDEs but I also realize that they are essentially... nothing but glorified text editors, just like Microsoft office. FYI there are plenty of IDEs in the UNIX world too, many on par with VS 2008 and I'd argue some are even better.
You're probably right, but I based my statement on what I found at http://www.nationalpriorities.org/costofwar_home which was found by a quick google for "cost of the war." Honestly though as with all things it's virtually impossible to give a real number for what it cost, give me enough time i could probably give you "proof" that it has only cost the us 10$.
STFU there's no reason to bring up the "unnecessary" war in every government action. I can think of about a half a trillion reasons to bring up the "unnecessary" war in every government action.
I hear the name "Ransom Love" (Caldera's founder) and into my head comes a dude with a cravat, an ornate basket hilt rapier, a big black hat with a feather in it, possibly a lacy handkerchief in his pocket which was a favour of some Maiden in a past adventure.
I hear "Darl McBride" and I just think frilly pink dress and cowboy boots. To me, "Ransom Love" sounds like a pimp's name, and "Darl McBride" sounds like a drag queen. You say tomato he says tomato...
I would also be able to answer and say "Yeah i loaned my laptop to dunbal that night I was out drinking at freds at tigerland ask chase, ben and dave the bartender."
LSU has a secure wireless set up that requires your username and password in order to sign on with WPA. So it completely solves IP/MAC spoofing. Their wired internet is vulnerable to mac address spoofing however they can narrow it down to the room that the connection occurred in. Both of these effectively eliminate the whole problem of "someone spoofed my MAC address". Mind you LSU is definately not MIT. I would suspect many colleges have this problem solved theres too much at stake not to.

Well, the fact that most users are not going to be using a compiler applies to Fedora and other distros too. It is quite irrelevant. Fedora is very different from OS X. Most Linux software packages are designed from the start to be easy to install by compiling../configure --prefix=/usr/local/nut --with-usb; make; make install. Most distros are moving to a system where you use pre-built packages nowadays however even my Ubuntu servers i end up having to compile at least one package by hand to get it where i want it. I don't think I've ever compiled anything on a mac OS X system and the user base apple is targeting is not going to be using the compiler. The user base Fedora and Ubuntu target will be using a compiler its a fact of life with linux.

But they didn't jump to a Unix base; they replaced MacOS with a new operating system based on NeXTStep. NeXTStep was first developed in the 1980s, many years before Linux even existed at all, let alone became established. NeXTSTep was developed in the 1980s by NeXT (Please note that NeXT is a completely separate company from Apple at the time the decision to use NeXTStep was made.) Apple acquired NeXT in 1996, the same year I first started using Linux on my desktop coincidentally. Linux was nowhere near as well developed as it is today, but it was already very far along. By the same token what became OS X was nowhere near as developed as OS X is today. I am certain Apple gave at least some consideration to using Linux. I'm sure they also gave some consideration to licensing Windows NT (Which was at 3.51 and had support for PowerPC at the time) and a bunch of other crazy ideas.

Oh, come on. They are not. That claim is plainly silly.
that claim makes plenty of sense to me. Most users of OSX aren't likely to be using the compiler regularly (I know my mom hasn't used a compiler on OSX). The only user of the compiler in regards to her computer was apple. Hence apple is the user.
What about if when the hash matches a domain (or domains) in the database, the whois server replies with all of the domains that match that hash, then the intelligent hashing whois tool simply compares the list of matching domains to the real domain and alerts the user if said domain exists or not.
So tell us then, Mr. Genius, how you will prove in a court of law that someone was speeding when they killed someone else in an accident? Don't most new cars nowadays come with black box style devices.
If you read what you're replying to you'd notice I was replying to a post which specifically mentioned airplanes and its been a long time since a world war 2 bomber flew over my house.
If a person says to a priest "I am going to rape and kill someone tomorrow" and the priest fails to act on that information, he will be subject to even more serious penalties from the police and theres nothing the Vatican can do to prevent that.
One less person that's consuming images of child sexual abuse is a good thing. Thats true, but look at the flip side, one less person consuming images of child sexual abuse, one thousand more victims of identity theft from repair techs "testing" the dvd burner they installed. It is a terrible idea to go around convicting based upon the criminal acts of those who discovered the evidence leading to the conviction. If we give a blank check to criminals of one type in the name of catching one or two of another type, how are we better off?
Fail to report it and you can be in a world of shit.
That could put one's lawyer, or priest in quite a pickle. Confessions to either or both are supposed to be confidential. Your attorney (presumably you wouldn't go around telling things like that to someone else's attorney) is granted an exemption to that under attorney client privilege, however a priest would be safe keeping it confidential provided it is something along the lines of "I did x in the past and i feel terrible about it" however if you told your priest "I am planning on doing illegal act Y next week/month/day/year" they are obligated to inform the authorities.
Generally there arent glass bottoms or helicopter crews in planes.
I'm not really sure how a laser would bring down a plane though. Do you really think the pilots are up there doing dives and loops and such? Have you ever been blinded by a driver who didn't dim his headlights? Now imagine something about 5 times as bright

If your encrypted files are compressible... It's time to look into a new compression algo...

Licenses are per seat, Siamese multiplets clearly need just one seat. As such they are multiple cores and require a single license.

LGPL would not require them to open source very much of windows at all. It would essentially require them to open source what they take from mozilla.

Once again, I was unaware that airplanes had glass undersides... strange.

If you fly in airplanes made out of glass... you're braver than anyone I know.
If you're serious they know, I worked at an auto shop for a while. It was always obvious which cars belonged to weed smokers and which didn't.
