By illegal they meant against police department policy. That means instead of going to jail, anyone breaking the rules will get a slap on the wrist or a verbal warning or like 1 day suspension.
You can boot from a DBAN disc and 0 out the entire hard drive and say it randomly broke
or
Download the secure shredder application that normally comes with Spybot Search and Destroy. They do offer a separate download. Drag in anything sensitive and it overwrites it with garbage data. Then to clear off anything you may have deleted in the past without securely overwriting it, use CCleaner's "wipe free space" feature which by the way is turned off by default. Anything that's listed as available space on the hard drive is overwritten with 0's. You can also nuke your internet history and temp files first easily with CCleaner.
I guess yet another author has fallen victim to not knowing what the hell they're talking about again. Our technology isn't good enough to do true biometrics. Any system like he outlined is a glorified fingerprint scanner. It's not a magical device that "senses" your finger. Any biometric device takes some set of 0's and 1's and compares it to other 0's and 1's and if they match to a certain degree, it's approved. That means any of them can be faked to be close enough or hacked to approve wrong data.
Fingerprints are an image file compared to another image file. Iris scans are an image file taken by a camera and compared to another image file. Face recognition is the same. All three of those are infinitely more fake-able than a password.
To get my money now, you have to get it out of my wallet. Good luck. To fake my face, they need to take a picture of my face. That's a bit easier. To fake my fingerprints, they need to get a hold of my fingerprints and I definitely leave those in more places than my wallet. You may recall that the Mythbusters made a laser printed fingerprint on a $100 laser printer, licked it, and got past a top of the line $1000+ fingerprint reader. To fake my iris, they need a closeup of my face, also not so difficult. There really isn't any biometric data that's good enough right now to be used in financial transactions short of a DNA sequence and I'm not giving them a DNA sample and waiting weeks to buy a bagel.
I disagree. I think he made the decision very objectively. He carefully weighed "I'm an overly-aggressive asshole" with "I support security theater over logic when it comes to airports" with "I'll be such a famous anti-terrorist, zero tolerance judge and get famous in the media" and made a logical decision. Of course, all he managed to do was get famous in the media lol. Time to start looking for a new job hopefully since he's proven to be completely incapable of doing his current one.
After 9 weeks of MS Server training then 9 weeks of Redhat training at my college I was like hey, let's check out Linux. So I downloaded Ubuntu and now I can say with 100% certainty, don't use Ubuntu! There is no root (aka Admin) login by default and no GUI ability to run things as root. That means if you want to do something administratory, you have to get out some very long, very annoying text commands. It's unbearable. I gave up after trying to install Java.
I have heard from friends that Linux Mint is a lot friendlier but haven't tried it.
Oh, I remember it. I used to work for one of those companies. It happened right after they bought out all my content for a flat rate though hehehehehe. Oh and an actual story with actual numbers from Slashdot a year or so ago stated 50% of all clicks were fraudulent and it was from a Google report that they themselves released. These days I do think it's increased and I do think it's 90%+
Is that the one that would erase magnetic tapes in the drive when the power supply shut off because of a massive EMP blast every time? Or is it the one that overheated under all conditions because Steve Jobs didn't want a fan because it ruined the design?
I'm 25 and I play a Sega Genesis emulator sometimes because those old games bring back fond memories and had such a different play style and difficulty. That's sort of the difference here. Who the hell had anything positive to say about punch cards back in the day that would make them want to experience it again? Fires, drops, manual collating, 1 missing card...everyone hated them! Nobody is going to say "oh wow, this is so fun just like back in the day" because it wasn't; it sucked.
Fire them and hire people who aren't immature, offensive, middle schoolers in adult clothing. If you think I'm kidding, my company just fired someone approx 2 hours ago for that reason.
If you look at the Twitter status page, it says Twitter Site Issue - 2 hours ago with a short description. Then under that, there's a button to tweet that message. How? lol. But wait, 3,704 people somehow retweeted it according to the counter....WTF?!?!?!?! There are 3,704 magical Twitter wizards, hackers, or people plugged into The Matrix at the moment apparently. Now they just need to find out which one of them used their dark magic to crash Twitter lol.
I'm 6 seasons and 2 episodes into the X-files at a rate of about 3 episodes per day on Netflix AND I arrived at work today to find 1 motherboard and 2 power supplies in 3 manager or department heads' PCs were fried due to a power outage AND Twitter and Google Talk are down. So obviously, combining all those pieces of evidence, there's an electricity monster loose in the US power grid.
So they just assign these viruses an arbitrary nickname, right? I think "Crisis" was a pretty funny shot at Apple, seeing as how they refuse to admit the last month or two has been one for them because of viruses. But if anyone can just randomly assign it a name, why not go all the way and name it Lol@Apple then the next one Lol@Apple2 etc?
So a technology that at its core is electrons moving through a metal just isn't suited to have metal touching metal to charge it? WTF? And for a green energy, a big selling point is that you're going to lose a massive amount of energy in transmission through directed energy beam absorbtion? MEGA WTF. If people smoke a cigarette while pumping gasoline, they blow up. If people electrocute themselves despite like 50 safety measures while charging their electric car, they die. It's called natural selection, okay?
I've coded even 70 page websites by hand. It's just not worth it to use any tool. I've never seen an autogenerated code in my entire life that is remotely useable. One lonely nbsp inside of a paragraph tag and it's a piece of crap as far as I'm concerned. I do use the link management and other nice tools in dreamweaver and the realtime preview with split view but other than that, it's hand coded.
If you get super fast at typing, there is no GUI in the world that can set the height, width, border, and background color faster than typing it all inline inside a style tag yourself.
You're saying they ran out of customers? Ummm I don't think so. Here, let me suggest a market research project for you. Go up to anyone you know and ask them when the last time was that they clicked on a web ad. I've never had anyone say they had ever. I think 90-100% of ad clicks are fake and internet advertising is a scam. Stupid companies that don't track ROIs don't realize that it's a complete waste of money or they assign some made up number like "value gained from visitors that at least came to the website via the ad" without realizing they're clickbots. I think the entirety of the decline is companies realizing they're wasting money and it's not a 1.0+ ROI.
In case you didn't know, it was based 100% on the latest Iron Man appearance in The Avengers. He hacks speakers to play that song in the movie.
By the way, Persia? Did they do the research for the article in the Bible? Most other sources call it Iran now.
There's a rule in business. If you make money off of primarily 1 main product and everyone universally hates your product, you're eventually going to go bankrupt. Welcome to advertising!
They said gamers but what they meant was males. Females of course have universally not given a crap about big weapons firing off in games. So if they take away alpha male, testosterone junkie, fake power trip crap, they might actually get some female to play big titles.
If I had to describe using a desktop without a mouse and keyboard, I would have to say: BAD! I can type 98 WPM on a keyboard and when gaming with a mouse, I make joystick users on the Xbox look like penguins trying to play using their wings. But I guess it's common knowledge at this point that the resounding theme out of the market research is "people want SLOW!" The slower the better! The longer it takes to type out a wall post on Facebook, the longer the user gets to enjoy it.
If it was me, I would print out their patent summary cover sheet on a piece of paper, fold it into a paper airplane, light it on fire, and throw it at them at the start of the proceedings. That might give them a hint as to what I think about their patents lol. But seriously, does anyone know if that type of situation allows the judge to invalidate the patent itself or would that have to be a different case or a different person?

1. learn how to read
2. stop trolling

I have heard from friends that Linux Mint is a lot friendlier but haven't tried it.
But the real question is, can it run bitcoin mining software? See, you thought I was going to say Linux or Crysis, didn't you? lol.
;-)
P.S. most miners are run on Linux btw

Actually, every black hole is the same size and they're quite small. I believe what they meant was mass.

He actually invented the Halo series and thought it was the internet.

It worked for Facebook (myspace) but then again it's about to not work for Facebook...(Facebook lol)
