Last time I checked, standard platter-based disks had the same issue -- a problem that is solved in server/enterprise environments by placing a write-cache battery in the RAID controller.
In a desktop environment I suppose one could embed a write cache battery into the SSDs to abate the issue, but in a laptop environment it'd be unlikely you'd even encounter it since you'd have to be writing data while running out of battery, in which case, you might well deserve it:)
Type "jailed for refusing to testify united states" into google....
In short, if you're testifying against someone else, you will be served with a subpoena. If you plead the 5th, you may be offered immunity. Should you still continue not to testify despite being granted immunity (thus nullifying protections against self-incrimination), you'll be held in contempt of court, again, indefinitely until you cooperate or the judge decides you've had enough.
This is not true -- in many circumstances, a judge can hold you in contempt of court for not revealing an encryption key, and you can sit in jail indefinitely until you cooperate. This is especially true if the encrypted information you have the password to gives evidence against someone else, not yourself, which the 5th amendment does not protect against.
3,764 now -- it looks like slashdot is really working, unless it's also been posted elsewhere. It's interesting that thanks to whitehouse.gov's use of cookies, I didn't have to sign in. The fact I had previously signed petitions made it a one click process to sign. That fact might be responsible for at least some of the clicks that actually sign the petition.
I learned my astrophysics from a four-year, highly selective university actually. Sadly, I only took two classes, and my memory while writing a slashdot comment is less than perfect after so many years. I mixed up redshift and blueshift, as already pointed out, but what I was trying to say remains the same.
I also haven't owned a television or received any TV broadcasts since 2001, so I'm not sure if you are referencing a real or imagined television show.
That said, while the big bang theory does not necessarily require a collapse, hasn't a collapse or movement together towards forming a massive singualrity (as it was during the big bang), one of the mainstream theories they teach in these astrophysics classes?
Under the Big Bang theory, the universe will eventually collapse in on itself, likely at the speed of light. The tell-tale sign will be redshift instead of blueshift being observed from Earth to various astronomical bodies. What I'd like to ask is how does this change our understanding of the ultimate fate of our universe?
I think if someone posts an article critical of other people's resumes, their resume better be perfect. If their picture makes them look hideous, well, they did a bad job and shouldn't be giving advice to others. That plus the content being a jumble of buzzwords that makes it hard to figure out what she really does makes me think not only is their slashvertisements going on -- but the people writing them aren't even as competent as the average./ reader to write and post them.
I think it's fair game. If you post BS, you will be called on it. If you want to tell others how to make their resume look, yours better be perfect, not the kind that makes me click away from the page instantly. I've hired many over the years and I would never take a second look at Yvonne's resume, even if I had a position for a writer to make blog posts/etc on social media.
Check her out on LinkedIn. Her resume is rambling, confused, filled with recommendations from junior-level staff, and uses a lot of buzz words without describing what she actually does. Plus, check out her picture. Who beat her with the ugly stick?
Oh yeah, I"m a third-degree connection of Yvonne -- resume is seriously unimpressive. She's probably never broke through $80k/year pay grade in 12 years in Silicon Valley. She has recommendations but most come from low-level employees like "Help Desk Technician."
With this level of person posting here, I don't think reason/rationality might help...this is a Silicon Valley B-Side person desperate for any job, who is willing to mess up slashdot for a living. She has few other options.
Back in those days, Slashdot didn't have ads about working for Red Hat, EMC or other massive corporations that care little for individuals in the face of lengthy, restrictive HR policies.
Just like the RSA hack..the infiltrators here appear to be just after signing certificates. They must have an objective to hack a client that uses Bit9 systems and thus required whitelisting. That means that some client of Bit9 is about to get seriously compromised.
Your analysis of the "Three-Fifths" compromise is lacking in historical context. At the Constitutional convention, counting slaves as 3/5ths of a person was the result of a debate between the north and the south. The South, wanting more representation in the house of representatives, wanted to count it slaves as people. However, since they had no other rights, the North suggested they also count their chickens, hens and pigs for representation, since those were chattel (property) as well.
The only reason it was included in the final document is because it was expected that both the slave trade (which was abolished) and slavery itself would soon be abolished in the United States and this become a non-issue and just a temporary placeholder to get a Constitution to replace the poor institutions of the Articles of Confederation.
Anything based on a false premise is false. Your understanding is in poor historical context -- no one believed in the rights and personhood of slaves, just in counting them for their own myopic political advantage. It was not a matter of philosophy.
Additionally, I would appreciate it if you stopped attacking any group of people, whether it be "the left" or anyone else, with scornful, trollish phrases written in all caps. You clearly have a good vocabulary and some intelligence, but your responses are personally directed at entire classes of people and mean-spirited. That doesn't make anyone want to read or believe your points, it just tunes people out who don't already agree with you. Rhetoric 101.
My question was rhetorical, but thanks for taking the time to answer rhetorical questions that you categorize as "bad."
Your response is filled with "weasel words" --e.g. "libs" "the left... ignorance as well as arrogance" and shows a clear right wing "tea party"-esque bias. I wish you could communicate in a more respectful way. Note that I am not a "lib" (which is a derogatory term), nor would I resort to name calling of any group.
To respond to your points: While legal fiction has long existed in the common law system as an essential component, corporate personhood as implemented in the United States is quite peculiar. In it, officers of a corporation are often and typically shielded from criminal prosecution. Their legal status as persons (persona ficta) allows them to sue, and be sued for torts and other civil matters, but they are generally not held under criminal prosecution, with exceptions for the most severe cases such as Madoff and Enron. Again, a feature of our peculiar common law system.
Your final point seems like a combination of two things: Samuel Huntington's "IvI" Gap -- Ideals versus institutions -- and the difference between "de facto" and "de jure." My point, in question form, was that 250 years of common law has changed our country's constitution to the point where foreign citizens are no longer even considered persons, and are considered outside of U.S. court jurisdiction. That is an absurdity that deserves recognition.
There ARE managers who don't ostensibly do this discrimination. I break them into two groups: Those who discriminate silently, and the "Social Workers." In the second case, the "social worker" HR officer tends not to last long, because, HR is not about being a social worker and giving opportunities to the underprivileged. That's actually a great way to staff the company with poor talent and run it into the ground. Sad but true.
Speaking from honest experience, it's an uphill battle for someone your age.
Generally, IT companies looking for junior level engineers or programmers want a smart, young person who is up on the latest technology. From there, they can be trained in "best practices," and specific skills for the job. Usually, they are very happy just to get the job and willing to put in 10-12 hour days and learn things as fast as possible. Once they are up to speed, the company gets to keep them for at least a couple years, paying them a low rate.
Also, there's the political issue of the fact your managers and mentors will generally be much younger than you...and that can be a hard pill to swallow for the young guys (who might behave brashly and arrogantly) and you (who might feel bad being talked down to by someone who could be your son).
Most young IT workers will have to switch companies to get into a better pay grade. There's not a lot of IT companies hiring 50+ year old junior engineers, so that's another stumbling block.
Older workers cost more for insurance, benefits, and typically salary; are likely to have families, and not be willing to put in long hours. Also, at age 58, that means an employer can only expect a few years after training you before you retire.
If you can find someone willing to hire you, go for it, but my experience in the industry says that it will be very difficult to start at entry-level at your age. Just an honest opinion.
His bust has to do with interdiction of the package -- which is how they've been finding drug dealers for decades now.
If he left evidence at his home, or on his home computer due to lack of encryption, of use of the Silk Road, then that's why they found it. Sounds like basic human intelligence methods to me -- with no real connection to the Silk Road. Everyone knew these risks were present and I don't think it's going to change much.
I had one of the first Facebook accounts, opened in 2003, as a college student at one of the first ten universities Facebook opened up to.
I never used the account, added a single friend, but it is still active an undeletable.
I can also guarantee that not a single photo exists of me tagged with the correct name. This is a benefit towards using a middle name or made up name as an alias amongst friends.
I knew to do this because as a teenager, I had a hacking background. But those who did not, have now willingly given facebook all their data. I'm not one of them.
When technology catches up so that you can reduce the set to let's say, 10 possible matches, and then have an analyst coordinate it, will it be too late to go back?
What happens if Facebook goes bankrupt, and someone purchases this data?
It appears the road forward is a minefield of caveats.
Thanks for the insults, AC. I am aware right now only "Friends" get matched in the database. However, I am very much aware about face.com's facial database that Facebook purchased, which NEVER required someone be within your "friends" and still did a pretty good job of matching it -- or at least, reducing the set of matches to something that can be discriminated by a human operator.
It's only a matter of time before the technology evolves so that it doesn't require the limitation of a set of "Friends" or "Connections."
Man walks out of a gay bar. Has picture taken by anti-gay vigilanties. Facial recognition allows them to find him on Facebook and show the picture to his family, forcing him to be "outed" and ending in a Tyler Clementi situation.
Countless other examples of how this can be used to severely harm people by parties who don't even know them..
If the FBI had access to Facebook's database during the days of COINTELPRO, it is doubtful the American Civil Rights movement would have ever occurred.
Facial recognition is an amazingly powerful tool for law enforcement when it comes to political adversaries -- imagine a scenario where local police and the FBI could just pop a photo into the special "Law Enforcement" console on Facebook, and find out who the person is, who their friends are, what their likes/dislikes are, what they order online (what kind of ads are targeted), etc.
It's also sad that most young activists these days are all over Facebook and have been giving it all their information since they turned 13 (or earlier if they just ignored that 13+ stuff), so by the time they become involved, the government has an easy way to find out literally everything about their personal lives. Just upload a picture of them snapped at some political rally, and voila!
The problem is Facebook is so addictive, I see such compulsive behavior clicking photos, and when you block facebook on networks, users downright have panic attacks.
Sounds like George Orwell may have been right: We love big brother.
