Shucks!/. ate my post. Here's a summary: modern Miatas have 4.6" of clearance. The current low end Jeep Cherokee has 8.0". Current model year of Volvo XC V70 has 8.6".
How many drive them on snowy roads? Everyone who owns one and lives where it snows, I bet.
I always get a charge when it snows here, and the SUV drivers in the no-season tires think that all you need is the latest Ford behemoth. I drive a '92 Mazda Miata. Yes, a tiny little roadster, but with snow tires. Until the snow is higher than the undercarriage, a Miata with good snow tires can't be stopped. Driving past SUVs in the snow is a blast, but I do feel bad when I see them flipped over.
If people are concerned about mitigating the risk of terrorism, fire, flood, hurricane, etc., on IT services, then they should seriously consider ideas like "on shoring" or "rural shoring". Having ubiquitous connectivity allows people to work anywhere, including all spread out such that a "disaster" (look at the etymology of that word!) would have to be truly epic to interrupt service.
That is why I always laugh really hard when open source advocates say that using this kind of software will yield "free support" (in the form of forums) and online documentation.
Open source projects, just like COTS software, requires a certain amount of (let's call it) marketing. In the case of open source, that marketing can include setting the tone in support forums that questions will be answered. For software that I advocate, I try to set just that tone. But I've also contributed to very successful projects that set just the opposite tone: if you're not reporting a 100% legitimate bug, then go away. I guess it depends on the goals of the project leadership. My goal is usually to get my software adopted by the largest number of people, because I believe in the law of large numbers: the more people using my software, the more people answering questions, the more people contributing value to the project.
Radmind leverages tripwire-like information to provide very large scale configuration management. It supports certificate-based authentication of servers and managed machines. The latest release supports compress in the network layer for cases where CPU is more plentiful than network bandwidth.:w
This is why precise diction--speaking and writing clearly--is necessary. It is often just as much the fault of the writer as it is the reader when a message's tone is misinterpreted.
I suggest you all give him a call. I already wrote him, as he is MY rep. I voted for him, since I wasn't going to vote for the other asshole. The recent redistricting in Michigan eliminated the seat of a politician who I didn't find repugnant, and now I'm stuck with this guy!
This is just conyers acting like a kook to "earn" his pay from the lobbyists.
It is fortuitous that Conyers will appear live at 1pm today on the Jack Lessenberry show on Michigan Public Radio. Maybe he should get to answer questions about DTCSA?
In the U.S., everything is younger, and most of it is built to accomidate cars, with wider streets, etc. As a result, the U.S. has always had that huge suburban and rural population that drives into work. In many places, there just isn't a mass transit option. I lived in metropolitan Memphis for a long time; there's no mass transit to speak of there, other than an aweful bus system. It's too close to the mississippi and too close to the water table for a subway (no one has a basement in Memphis).
It wasn't that way before WWII. I'm not sure how it was in Memphis. Perhaps you should review the local history a bit.
They did not find any evidence that Grokster publicly promoted abuse. They found "intent" by a corporation, which is not a person who can "intend" (even if you believe that a person's intent can ever be proven).
Hm. With that kind of logic, I guess gun some gun manufactures could be found libel.
China can muster more troops than the US? I don't think so.
Perhaps the GP overstated the case a little, but you're probably wrong: CIA World Factbook. It hardly matters, tho. The point was that attacking China to enforce USA Intellectual Property is crack-smoking, which is clearly true. However, a better lesson to draw from the Persian Gulf war is that war is not sold to The People as directly lining the pockets of Corporations. The Persian Gulf war was sold on fear, fear of terrorist attack, xenophobia, etc. I'm sure a war with China could be sold the same way.
Finally, if you don't want to screw it up, ask someone who has done it before. Paying someone $300/hr for a 10-30 hour review of your plan is dirt cheap compared to horking the setup.
FYI, I am the architect of the above deployment (thanks for the props). I am 100% in agreement about the 10-30 hour review idea, $/hr negotiable.:)
My god, moderators! Moderating as "Informative" a post citing Fox News, Special Report with Brit Hume "Political Grapevine" on the credibility of NYT? Please, beat yourself for 15 minutes with the clue-stick!
There are so many security bugs fixed from package release to package release, it would be a full time job to keep track of all of them. To quote a good friend of mine, "There's just no substitute for knowing what you're doing." A good sysadmin reduces the security footprint of the system. It's true that it's a full time job to track every package available for Linux. My suggestion is to not install every available package.
For the most part SSO is only really usefull within a small environment. Very rarely do I see a need to allow people to access more than one application with the same sign on.
I'm one of the authors of CoSign, which is a "traditional" Web Single Sign-on system. Really, SSO is explicitly not very useful in a small environment. SSOs are particularly useful in medium to large enterprise environments, primarily because identity needs to be tracked across many different application -- for provisioning, auditing, authorization, etc. An SSO reduces the security exposure in this environment, because the user's credentials are only used during initial sign-on, and not presented to each service.
OpenID's goals are somewhat similar, in that a form of the user's ID is made available to visited servers, without exposing information that might be important to the user. OpenID could be a big hit on the Internet if sites like GMail, Hotmail, and other enterprise environments that do strong authentication were to act as OpenID "homesites". Obviously, GMail isn't going to trust Livejournal to grant a user access to their mail. But LJ might trust GMail for a user to leave a comment.
A rooted box with a kernel module installed to hide itself, has to be completely restored.
You can repair such a root kitted box by 1) booting from clean media, and 2) running a tool like radmind that knows how the system is supposed to be and can fix it.
Instead of paying one star 20 million for a picture why not pay 200 actors 100,000 for several movies?
Not particularly on topic, but...
For the same reason that music that doesn't fit neatly into the pop, rock, blues, folk, etc, buckets doesn't get made: it's much more cost effective to market a megastar or three than it is to market many hundreds. Who will pay to see a big stinker movie if there's no "star power" in it?

This borders on yelling fire in a theater, because it isn't the theater owner that is getting hurt, it is the people getting trampled in the aisles...
And when there is a fire, how irresponsible is it to not yell fire?
A better question might be, "Is an undergraduate education useful," or "Will you learn anything useful in undergrad?"
"Well how do they hope to stop terrorists with this?"
:w
So paper is not sufficient to stop terrorists. But if it's laminated...!

And why giving the author the benefit of the doubt is necessary -- if one is interested in avoiding flamewars. On a closely related note: Unskilled and Unaware of It: How Difficulties in Recognizing One's Own Incompetence Lead to Inflated Self-Assessments.
