Well, the other thing is that you cannot run commands on arbitrary data without privilege escalation, unless you are already root. It is simply conceptually impossible. Any process that allows you to access data above your privilege level includes a privilege escalation by definition.
My take is just that the article sound sensationalist and not very competent with regards to technology.
But if you run Linux from disk on a system, and you create a user with the same ID as the user data you're trying to access on that system, you can read all the data from that user. That is not privilege escalation, as far as I can see.
I'm just curious if anyone in the administration actually knows that US wireless companies use different, incompatible technologies. A phone that works on one carrier would, at most, have a chance of working on only one other carrier, and would, most likely, lack the ability to take advantage of the additional carrier's full spectrum, resulting in degraded service.
Yes they do know. If the phone companies hadn't been ready now, they would have waited until they were and then made the announcement. The administration looks good, pro consumer, where in reality you're still locked in.
And in a few months a new law will be proposed: 'The anti-terrorist and anti-child porn law for public protection', that requires ISP's to do exactly the same.
I've never encountered a situation, and am at a loss for an actual, private-citizen, real-world situation, where more than 3 rounds would be necessary except in the case of an incompetent shooter (i.e. poor aim).
Perhaps law-enforcement officers can be in situations where more then 3 rounds are needed?
Lately its configuration is such that if approaching from one of the side streets and the light is red, you have to stop and wait for it turn green. This doesn't seem to be any better than an inductive loop in the pavement, and thus the current implementation is a waste of money (IMHO).
The reason 'they' do this (well, in the Netherlands) is; if local people grow accustomed to the fact that they can always count on the light being green when they are at the intersection, they will after awhile expect it to be green. By delaying the green, people will slow down before they have reached the intersection, which is safer.
Don't know if this is actually true, but it's the rationale given.
I did not (and still do not) blurb out answers just because I can, I will only do so _after_ everybody else (mostly from the "doh!" category) in the room were stumped.
So you wait until you are sure that everyone does not know the answer and then you show everyone just how smart you are? Intelligent... Perhaps. Wisdom... Not really no.
So India is home to the "best and brightest" huh? This proves the country is populated by idiots and mindless drones willing to voluntarily enslave themselves to the government masters. May a thousand plagues beseige you.
Why? It is voluntary. What happens if only 1% of the Indian people actually allow themselves to be scanned? That would be a powerful signal to the governemnet that people don't want this system.
I am not that familiar with http headers, but wouldn't it be possible to add your own http-headers. So add 20 tags with 20 different zip codes? Firefox plugin?
"If a lion could talk, we could not understand him."
Really? Because most of the communication would be variations of "let's get that one!". Any other communication might be of the scented variant, which most cat owners already understand.
including your location and serial number used in the fight against piracy. including your location and serial number used in the fight against terrorism.
And this is an important difference between a microprocessor and music. With microprocessors, there is competition. But in music, there is no competition. The only way to get competition is to allow every label to produce the same CD from the same artist. Only then will price drop to realistic levels.

"calls may be recorded for training and monitoring purposes"
'may' instead of 'are', because that way when they screw up, they can claim that your particular conversation wasn't recorded.
Or it could be that their site changes.

So if I don't know... Prince Harry is pulled over and is found to be over the limit, his name will be tweeted?
Somehow I don't believe that will happen.

I always wondered, if people are not allowed to talk about this stuff, can't they just go to Mexico and tell people there?

Perhaps because NK has no internet save for a few places that are highly controlled?

You can start by not using words like "rectifying"
I don't know why; it’s a perfectly cromulent word
Ghosts returning to their den after they've been eaten by pacman, that's the fourth mode ghosts can be in,

switch the wifi off and not tell them
Yeah, because no-one will notice their wifi-dependant devices suddenly don't work anymore.

You think?!
Yes, he does. Did you not read the comment?
Again, in a country where politicians are regarded as little more than a group of high level thieves
Just like any other country in the world...
The only bit of networking gear I've ever seen burst into flames was ...
...
and it turned into fire in my apartment one day when I was out.
So you didnt acyually *see* it happen...

I don't even know if MS Project can export to HTML so that the others in the teams DON'T need to install it.
Where I work, the MS Project overview is printed. Apparently, that is the easiest way to convey the information to others.
OK, we're in mid-air, I take the gun, that I slipped through customs, from wherever I hid it and start walking towards the cockpit.
What, at this point, is the idea behind the camera?
Fixed it for ya.
Please please please cinema's all over the world, put this stuff on your walls... (I hope it helps against mobile phones as well).
If there's an emergency, I will walk out and tell someone who works at your place.

I understand the above scenario is not realistic.
