Typically those that use pgp/any email encryption in their email communications have good reason to do so, typically related to security and sensitive data. If both google users set up pgp, they could do it, google setting up pgp by default has financial consequences & greatly affects the level of support required. Google even supporting pgp is a testament to this approach, and the correct implementation of pgp: by choice.
If Google voluntarily encrypted messages between Google users (Gmail, GApps), and any message stored on their servers
He's talking about user to gmail server, https covers that. What you're talking about is something like pgp: http://www.instructables.com/id/Encrypt-your-Gmail-Email/ . Both users need it set up for it to work, but that's how encryption typically works, and it's there if you need it.
Nope, that's not how cyber attacks work, do you think there was an armada of servers powering stuxnet? No... it was a self-contained program that ran on Iran's resources.
With healthy competition, we wouldn't be having this discussion, ISPs would happily shoulder the cost to increase their customer base... wtf happened???
Nice, I've used somebody's portable generator to recharge before, but a solar powered charged sounds nicer, and more portable, just be careful to not leave your phone out in the sun with it, it will fry. Just like with cell phones of not-so-long-ago, the lithium-ion can't hold as great of a charge as time goes on, buying a battery at the 1-1 1/2 year mark makes a lot more sense to me than hauling two around. But, I just suffer till I'm eligible to upgrade again, my old atrix got about a day's worth of life towards it's retirement, and that's without heavy usage, I remember having to charge it after long calls too.
but... they don't cost $10 is the problem + you need to buy a charger for them... assuming all this is available for your phone and you know how to open your phone (tons of business people don't), it'll run you $80-$100 for OP's set up. Or... you can charge your phone at night, or during morning rituals if you don't like having your charger plugged in. I get at least a couple of days out of my phone, less with heavy usage obviously, but I've never gotten to under a day.
already own (older games)... would be really stretching it. A Linux version of new big title games would be a gigantic improvement over the current state. Looks like Linux users at least have Steam games to look forward to including... SKYRIM!!!.
Funny how crazy marketing / another crappy OS can remove the chains off the competition. Reminds me of what happened to Apple... oh wait what's going* to happen to apple.
Or... we could you know... secure the infrastructure systems, implement cyber security teams on a city wide level, lock down access to where you can't run executables off a flash drive, and obscure the details of the system... wouldn't stop 100% of attempts, but it'd be leagues better than we're doing right now.
Slashdot Mirror
Please don't. You clearly don't understand the security implications.
How many people do you know that have "redundant" firewalls?
That's like saying install 2 switches for every 1 and run twice the cabling and install twice the NIC cards. Not good.
It's a definition update though, so no downtime required.
If they wanted to, I wouldn't be surprised if they seized the nuke and told north korea to go sit in time-out.
Firmware updates = downtime. Required downtime rather than optional... not good.
There was looting going on during that as I recall. Not to mention, loss of criminal data, etc...

is the dumbest study I've read on Slashdot to date. Congrats. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/50510582/ns/health-mens_health/#.UQBxUWdBqrg/ is random better news. Also, male doctors have a higher rate of sexual misconduct than female doctors, study pending.

Wait, what? Gmail has a setting to make it run over https: http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=74765
If electricity in a city went out for a week there would be riots and looting. If gas refining stopped, your car wouldn't drive and you couldn't work.

If this guy worked on Windows 8 by chance. That would make a lot of sense.
Oh, a power case, suddenly starts to make sense.
Nice "hack"
Lol, what do batteries and phone cases have to do with each other again?

Read the comments on the story too, priceless. These people actually figure out how to breath on a second by second basis, fascinating.
Cry more?
We've conquered nature, we will probably never master it...
