An rsync transfer probably wouldn't stand up to cross-examination, since by its nature it can modify data it copies. You might get away with it, but there's so many variables that it would be very difficult.
Forensics people sometimes use special hardware that makes it physically impossible to modify the original image (i.e. read only in hardware), then do a bit by bit copy. Then it's very easy to say, "There's no way this data could have been modified on the original drive".
Lacking that, they might use dd on an unmounted drive to do a bit-by-bit copy. It's harder to prove nothing modified the original image though.
That's a minute fraction of the total market for RAM. As much as some people like to believe it, the world does not revolve around large business. Large business is actually somewhat of a niche market.
Because the easiest assumption is that inflation indexes represent an accurate overall picture.
If your dataset is "5,5,5,5,5" or "10,0,10,0,10,0" the average is going to be the same, but the implications are very different. In the first case, the average is much more meaningful than in the second.
To take your beef analogy, it's like saying that the averages show that 1/50th of the beef consumed in the US is consumed in New Hampshire, since there are 50 states.
One interesting thing: Inflation is higher than it seems in the US.
Wal-Mart and Sam's Club are actually causing many governmental indexes of inflation to appear lower than they are. So while the cheap junk that Wal-Mart sells is still cheap... Everything else has gone up around it.
It would be interesting to see an inflation index compiled that didn't include the Wal-Mart numbers, for comparision.
The second part of this is that in general when inflation hits, salary inflation needs to follow to keep customer buying power at the level and the economy stable. Wal-Mart's suppliers are pressured to cut things tight to be able to provide goods at the prices they do, which has the double effect of tending to lower average salaries, offset by the beneficial effect of increasing efficiency of suppliers.
So we need to be very careful. Walmart is definitely a double edged sword. It gives to us by keeping aggregate inflation low, and incresing efficiency at suppliers, but we need to be aware of the impact such a powerful retailer has on the economy.
It does matter how skilled you are because the benefit you bring to the company isn't quantitative. If your skills are a commodity, that's your problem. Don't fuck it up for me with your unions.
You have federally funded researchers that are getting paid anyway, they are just not allowed to touch any privately funded research that has come from new embryonic lines. They are getting paid the same amount either way.
It's stupid to pay researchers and then not allow them to work with the current research and studies out there, but that is what is happening now.
In every voluntary captilistic transaction, both parties are winners, the purchaser gets something he values more than the money he gave up, and the seller gets an amount of money he values more than the good he gave up to get it.
Yeah, but they banned lawn darts because a couple dozen idiot kits got hurt hurling them at each other. It's this ultra-left wing logic that "if it saves one life then it's worth it" that causes this kind of thing.

You apparently don't have to go clean up loser's computers at a company where they have little in-house talent or IT management.
It's not unusual to find a computer so laden with spy and adware that it crashes during boot, every 10 minutes, or serious parts of the OS are damaged.
An example, there was a computer I worked on, so laden with spyware that IE couldn't pop up the download dialog box, and since Windows doesn't include useful utilities, I couldn't wget or anything like that either. The CDROM was broken so I couldn't boot into linux either.
It really is as bad as everyone says here. People use it because they don't know better, and because those shiny boxes in Best Buy contain software for it. They don't realize there's a whole other world out there where software doesn't come in shiny boxes, and you don't pay "per user" for permission to use your own hardware.
I don't see how you can say it's political, FSF isn't endorsing any politicians. And it's certainly not hidden. 10 minutes with RMS will make it painfully clear what the agenda is.
That's like saying that the Red Cross has a political agenda to save lives.
Suppose they just closed the "server hole" outright. I have an in-hour PHP application that is used outside my company.
I download a GPL SMTP library to do direct SMTP... Does that count as aggregation? My scripts are require();ing the other GPLed PHP... I don't think it can get much closer aggregation than that... so is that GPL violating aggregation under this proposed GPL that closes server-side development?
What about things that are a little farther from the user... I have various web programs that generate output based on user requests using ghostscript that eventually gets sent to the user. Would that mean GPL compliance would be releasing the source for my entire in house application?
What's an "application" anyway? If I hyperlink to a bunch of PHP files from one main file, does that make it one application?
It's going to be very difficult to sort out these questions, and the FSF is going to have to be very careful to balance the usefulness of GPLed server-side apps with their ideal of "freedom".
It wouldn't close it, end users still will have the option of licensing it under the current GPL as long as the program authors followed the recommendations and said "this is licensed under GPL v2 OR later"... The "or" is the critical part, the user gets to choose.
The whole situation is insane. No one has explored the fact that it's only triggered by Slashdot's very poorly written, invalid HTML.
Sure, it may be considered a mozilla bug, but personally I'd hesitate to call any rendering problems on invalid HTML a browser bug. If they fix their HTML and it still happens, then call it a bug.

On the other hand, pulling it down immediately is bad forensic practice. You may very well be destroying evidence contained in RAM.
Ideally you would take it off the network, but keep it running. Ideals rarely get practiced when it comes to security though.
Sued by who?
It'd be a hard case to prove it created a "hostile work environment" if no one knew you had porn until an admin found it.
All this crap is just another case of moral busy-bodies hiding behind the guise of legal liability.

Gambling winnings in the UK are tax free?
I'm not sure what's more funny, your post, or that it was modded "informative". :)
I don't get it.. he's advocating building an index. That would point to the image of the original document. Which is what they already did.
It does matter how skilled you are because the benefit you bring to the company isn't quantitative. If your skills are a commodity, that's your problem. Don't fuck it up for me with your unions.
Well duh.
SELinux is a product of the NSA, and is now in all 2.6 kernels.
Reading the review, it sounds like they created a world very much like Medievia.
The government is paying for it though.
You have federally funded researchers that are getting paid anyway, they are just not allowed to touch any privately funded research that has come from new embryonic lines. They are getting paid the same amount either way.
It's stupid to pay researchers and then not allow them to work with the current research and studies out there, but that is what is happening now.
I don't think it was a question of poor care. As a rich poster boy I'm sure he had the best care possible. His injuries were very severe.
Think of it like HIV. No one dies from HIV, they die from the flu or infections, but the HIV was definitely the reason.
Is it really surprising that most of the advancement has come from research that hasn't been effectively banned?
That's like saying there hasn't been any advance in the theraputic use of cocaine or heroin.
The satellite is way the hell out there. Warfare satellites will be low earth orbit, not way up there like intelsat.
Economics is not zero sum.
In every voluntary captilistic transaction, both parties are winners, the purchaser gets something he values more than the money he gave up, and the seller gets an amount of money he values more than the good he gave up to get it.
Win-Win. Everything isn't zero sum.

That opens up huge problems with aggregation!

See, the thing is, the GPL FAQ isn't the GPL. It's just sorta the way they see it.
The GPL FAQ has no legal weight, other than seeing what the FSF might sue you over and what they might not.
