Hurricanes in NYC are very very rare regardless of time period. A lot of places build to withstand weather like this, there's actual building codes builders have to follow when building on the shore line of an area known to experience this kind of weather, this is why cities in the south east don't come crumbling down at the first gust from a hurricane. New York has a lot of old infrastructure, so it's not one of those. Insurance should cover a lot of the damage, but then they're just going to turn around and ask the government / taxpayers for money. I wonder though, because most of NYC's infrastructure is made of stone & concrete, how bad can the flooding damage actually be?
It would probably look something like a jet engine or non-detachable rocket to take off and achieve altitude and then a high-efficiency glide, or a set trajectory (ex. you lose 2 ft / min, so you have to plan a destination where you can reach it and still land). Of course, thinner atmosphere is an issue, in regards to limited night flying, or unexpected cloud cover, a battery can take care of some of that. It's definitely not economically viable, at least not yet.
First of all, tfa misses it's point completely, but hits on a bigger one. How to tell a crap sec pro from a good one, and at least I believe the answer isn't on paper. HR does background checks on anybody in any dept. , so saying this is discriminant is to generalize the entire work force, same with drug testing. Culturally... well you gotta have somebody that fits in with the team, otherwise you got bigger problems than network security. Most hacker / security types I know of you can't really tell apart from mainstream culture, the same intelligence that lets a sec pro do their work can also be applied to society's norms and standards. The guy who stays up nights and then forgets to shave and shower in the morning isn't an ideal candidate because just like they can't apply themselves to the real world, they probably won't be able to apply business logic to say creating group policy in active directory.
Now here's where it gets really overcast grey, I put DNS on my resume and you put DNS on yours, I understand DNS cache poisoning, you don't, to HR, to even technical non-sec managers, this looks the same, but guess what, you want the guy who understands how DNS applies to security, not networking. How to tell them apart? Very very hard & resource intensive, a test, interview questions, a real-world scenario. HR wouldn't know where to begin. And it's scary to hire a sec pro who doesn't know what they're doing. Security+ is basically networking + some common sense (ex. don't allow anonymous relay on your exchange server), but a dedicated attack hacker will come equipped with knowledge far greater than this, so unless the sec pro actually knows what they're doing, they're useless. Thoughts? Solutions? Ideas?
I'd imagine it would be to defend the government most likely, last I heard the private sector was still private. Now on a 24/7 timeline working 9-5... government hours, I think we come out to let's see... 1 hour of dedicated work a day.
Ah yes, Linux on a laptop, always a treat to your skull from the consistent and prolonged headbanging in setting it up. You could always use the installation CD that came with the laptop... oh wait no you can't:)
Seriously though, so there's a checkbox for dual boot on the installer, the last time I tried to use that, it "forgot" that there was a Windows partition and finished installing Ubuntu, thankfully I was pre-partition, so all I had to do was add a manual entry to GRUB for Windows, easy right?
I think that games on linux are a great idea, the platform (on most distros) is not nearly as bogged down as Windows is & it's a performance tweaking haven. Much less reliance on sub-par nvidia drivers with their limited configuration options. However, considering who the average PC gamer is, it would probably be suicide for the game industry as well, most kids in middle / high school don't know how to do stuff like set up a dual boot environment, or find appropriate working drivers, much less that the user base is mostly over at windows now for gaming and isn't showing signs of moving anywhere anytime soon (including apple).
Hacking probably isn't even the biggest threat on the internet, it's fraud, probably followed by something crazy like human trafficking : why CL requires you to have an account now. The problem is that governments want control over the internet in entirety, every last packet. While this may work for China & Iran because they control such things as the media & speech, the internet is right along those lines, but the problem is the rest of us, there's not a camera on every street corner (sorry UK), there's not a phone tap on every citizen, so why should the internet be controlled in such a manner? Most plans for the internet tend to incorporate something along the lines of such control. Having said that, in my opinion, we should let the internet control itself and treat crimes on it on a per case basis just like we do with everything else.
I kind of can't wait to switch all the "slow" users over to it, it's just different enough where you have to think a bit before doing something up until you get used to it and.... POW:)
What if you get the entry-level job and realize your peers are retarded and worst of all lazy?
My point is I think people are pre-dispositioned to their cockiness, I've met people at about equal points in their careers (decades ahead of me) and some of them were impossible to converse with without the instant urge to hit them, some are confident, but relaxed, and yet there's others who've been on a scenic tour of the IT dept. their last 20 years and don't that DNS is an acronym.
If I was consulting for a company and I clearly outlined the risk of allowing self-signing certs to them and they said we'll take it, I'd make sure I had something in writing... like an email & I'd do it for them anyways, if they get MITM'd later, I'd refer to them to the email. You can't always stop people from taking short cuts, but making them aware of the risks is more than most people probably do.
In the real world, dev monkey doesn't get to do what dev monkey wants, a good step would be to ask management what to do since customer won't change set up that way monkey covers monkey's ass and if the customer gets backed, management can deal with it on a my guy told you so basis.

Yes I do :)
And... XNA only applies to games / graphics I believe. The jist of the article sounded like "let's hope MS figures it out", which may mean... nooo.
I can't seem to find anything on google either way, are win 7 market apps backwards compatible with windows 8?
I wonder if this has anything to do with the ship being a replica, and the crew probably working for Disney :)

Wouldn't he then be getting charged with perjury?

Can the baby seals insulate the data center?
Windows 8 took an arrow to the knee.
There's two distinct ratings in the states: M & A, Dragon age is M:

A is for one of those stupid adult sexploits games that nobody plays.
Even The Witcher 2 with full frontal got M.
Remove the facebook & twitter links and you have a very 90s looking website complete with inline CSS & jscript :)
This is the kind of free speech limitation that prevents you from yelling "fire" in a crowded movie theater.
Hmmm... you've just summed up a lot of what's wrong with modern day developers in your sentence.

As a MITM attacker, can't I just spoof the sender's domain here?
Granted, it does add a fairly decent layer of complexity to the MITM : http://www.windowsecurity.com/articles/understanding-man-in-the-middle-attacks-arp-part2.html
To be honest...

No it's not, AES is public (among like 100 others), short of using a stupid password, good luck decrypting that one.

Nah, it's COD inspired... I doubt they actually understand the pros and cons of drone strikes.
Isn't there a plethora of quotes somewhere about how the smartest / wisest of us realize how little we actually know?
(This makes sense because ignorance is bliss)
