Hopefully this will bring some accountability. They can conceivable track the speed of police vehicles to make sure they are obeying traffic laws when not responding to an emergency. It can also be used to verify that an officer was where they were when they said they were there. Of course, this would only be affective if their friends back at the station weren't the ones monitoring.
The fact that this was allowed (if this is true...) is kind of sick. Even if you considered this behavior "no big deal", it still shows the maturity of the people left in charge of such an important figure. To a point it's about professionalism and integrity. But this reeks of incompetence.
I clicked on something, I don't know what, after waiting 2 minutes for the thing to load. As I site here typing this, I'm still waiting for whatever I clicked on to do whatever it's supposed to.
Maybe they don't want us to know what they do to give some mystery and go all virally on us. Is this just a dumb publicity stunt? Did anyone actually find information on the site?
>Corruption is like a wolf pack. while a lone wolf is possible it is abnormal. So once a bit of corruption is shown further investigation usually brings out more. While some of it may get away the worst of it is gone for a while. So while we may only hear about a small part it is the worst part and that will most likely get taken out.
Good point. And to further this.. Just because the S.E. is likely rare with respect to cover-ups doesn't mean that we should not applaud each revelation. Like you say, it's likely to reveal others. Let's push the snowball down the hill and get from it as much as we can.
The problem with the Streisand Effect is that it's only true when we hear about it. And more than likely only true with big names. I'd be willing to bet that it's more often the case the people *are* silenced. The percentages of stories that get out is probably very small. I'd be interested to see some study that gives an idea of numbers. How many "like cases" does this article of the Phoenix Police confiscating all of this computer equipment represent? Is this the one and only case, which we have heard about, or does this happen hundreds of time a day?
I suppose the role of the stories that make it big is to set precedent and awareness. But don't let talk of the Streisand effect lead you to think that the act of attempting to silence information isn't a powerful one. And that it isn't working every day against us.
What's the percentage savings? Is it enough to care or is it just another fun fact?
Simplifying / nanoizing / consolidation javascript and reducing the number of sockets required to load a page would probably be more bang for the buck. Is it worth worry about?
>>What sort of security do you put on your backup infrastructure?
It depends.
I guess it depends how valuable the data is, how current it needs to be. Does it need to be kept secret or simply kept uncorrupted? How fast do you need to access these backups. The harder for you, potentially the more secure.
For starters let's have a copy off-line in a location where the servers are not. Heck, choose another location for more security. I am thinking: A tape and a DVD in a safe with a lock on it. And another somewhere else.
If you really need to keep it safe, commit it all to memory and then shoot yourself in the temple.
While it may not be the correct forum for the poster to seek legal advice, it is, in my opinion, a welcome subject matter to our forum.
Perhaps this person will not be helped by the discussion, and perhaps I will have not learned anything from this discussion in particular. However, that fact that these discussions do make their way into these forums has been interesting to me. I agree that too many would be, well overkill. But I do think I benefit from these discussions. Copyright is one of those "gray area" topics. I welcome different peoples' takes on this subject. Sometimes it wears on me, but the fact that it comes up time and time again shows that it's not an easy problem. We're nerds. We love difficult problems.
It's blazing fast for dsl, but it's still dsl. You might find a way to make a snail slide along at 3 mph. That'd really shake up the racing-snail community, but don't think you'll be entering that snail into a horse race any time soon.
All fun aside, I suppose this is useful to a lot of people, and a great tech achievement. I'm just pretty confident that by the time it's consumer-ready, there will be much faster alternatives in place.
What is the role DLS today in the broadband world? Is it merely a bandaid for places with no other options, or something more that I am missing?
When I was a kid we didn't HAVE friends to play with, if we wanted morrpmgsss (or whatever you youngsters call 'em) we had to leave the house and truck down to the arcade. Then we had to wait in line to continue the life of someone else's character. And by "mass" we meant 4 players and we liked it.
It wasn't about exp and armor either, it was about gold. We didn't have to wait for a posse to go into the dungeon. Our games were ALL dungeon and we liked it. None of this customizing your character hoot-nanny. You got an elf, thief, hero or whatever and did we complain? No. And we didn't pay monthly for it either. We payed quarterly (well, with quarters anyway). So dying meant money. You kids have it easy.
So what's wrong with singling out #1? Oh, that's right, because there are other companies out there doing the same thing, which means no one should call foul. People should be forced not to take advantage of the spotlight to rally for their cause. #1 would never do that... I'm sure. So, why can't these fucktards protect their own interests? Contract firms and temp agencies are in a powerful position. People should keep a close eye on the relationship they keep with the Corporations. They provide a service, but reap profits largely disproportionate to the gains they receive.
I was working as a Temp once for Adecco and was put into a position that required I see how much I was being billed out for. It was about 40% of my pay. I had been in this position for a few years without a raise. At this point the Temp agency was making 40% of my hourly pay for doing nothing but send me the check. I did not get enough hours to qualify for benefits. I had well compensated them fairly for finding this position. Now it's just a milking scheme.
So, sorry to say, but you're right. Everyone should protect their interests. Even these "fucktards"
Is it possible to also have the ethernet for this device go over the power lines like so many home networking devices? Then you could literally plug it and and have it running.
I don't get why the article is being sensationalist about this. Is it simply a re-configured Apache? Is it a new closed source platform? I just don't know. It's curious, yes, but hardly frightening.
Competition *IS* good right?
Maybe I'm missing something like... Is the server itself doing anything odd other than "being mysterious"?

Well.. YAAH! Do we have to spell out every step? The only way to destroy the Moon is with a silver bullet.
SO if you have a silver bullet, you can destroy a Werewolf. I don't see the issue here. It's called transitIVITY.

Should we debate the questions: Who exactly is Linux for? What is it's job?
How can you show us something awesome and then say "ha ha just kidding"? Jokes are meant for absurd things. This was just a cock tease.
Slow News day? Correlation is not Causation? This thread is useless without pics? Whatever it takes; NO!
For the love of all that's sacred... the answer is NO NO NO! Please dear God.. NO! Because without Alcohol .. does a world even exist?

By "we" i mean you all. I'm not a nerd.
In WOW the style and feel of the world is important. Tools like these could ruin that without certain restrictions. Then again, so can't players.
We on Slashdot think so?
Me: "I'm sorry Miss, but there will be no cutting."
She: "But Dmomo, I don't just want to be with your CS Degree, I love you for you. Let me push your stack."

It's easy to stand on a soap box anonymously.
Is this similar to the BSD license for software?
Come to think of it, can the CC licenses be applied to software?
