Exactly, getting a civil response is not the goal.
This seems to be less about ID and more about not getting civil responses. The professors don't give two shits about convincing anybody in the forums of anything.
Getting the students to do this, takes a retarded worldview and forces them to plop it down where it really wasn't invited with the inevitable hostile responses.
Which in turn, indoctrinates or say... brainwashes the students into viewing the outside, thinking world as a hostile place to their kind.
And, thus insures the students stick to their kind and stop looking at the outside world (especially the Internet) as a place to get good information.
This is simply brainwashing. A clever way to do it granted, but that doesn't change the affect on the student. They still come out suspicious and feeling attacked by the internet and non-whack people, the effect desired by the school administrators.
You would after you let others examine it and attempt to determine how it worked.
But, since that will never happen, you won't ever get a "fair hearing" (WTF, you think science is a court?) in your eyes.
If you had any brains and not just blind dogmatic stupidity, you would review the laws of thermodynamics and understand them before making your claim. "Devices" don't unseat stuff like that, "new theories" do.
I don't have any links, but I personally cleaned a PC that had a trojan on it that used netstat hiding tricks. I found it accidentally by looking at files I couldn't delete in the temp folder (trojans often mess with the permissions to make clean-up less likely).
The contents of the file was a text printout of the netstat command, re created every fifteen or so seconds, MINUS the offending connections. Just by waiting and opening the file again I got new netstat info.
Running the command, showed the contents of the text file, not the actual output of netstat. I could see traffic going on using a packet sniffer elsewhere on the network, so knew something was up.
Eventually just wiped and reinstalled anyway because it was faster than fighting it bit by bit.
So, there are such things out there, yeah, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for them to spend much time on it, but a lot of that stuff is made from "kits" now days anyway so it's not a big deal to enable the feature.
Every pile of shit republican is saying this very old talking point, and none of them can back it up with facts, and certainly not facts that were something the current president did without a lot of help from congress (and the R side of it no less).
It's just like the "he has to use a teleprompter thing" (see idiot AW who also responded with his "me too AOL LOL" comment) where thousands of photos of other presidents and other types of leaders are available on the internet, somehow, now, that the president is black the fact that he reads off one is some sort of valid criticism. Maybe his ability to do extemporaneous speech isn't that great (Bush was? Gimmie a fucking break) but when limbaugh or whatever other tard said it on the radio, the talking point lost that part and "hurrr teleprompter" was all that got repeated.
So.. In short, get some citations and start posting them or eat a bowl of dicks, really, if you want to go through life less useful than a bag of mashed assholes that's your choice, but if you want to have any credibility in rational discourse you had better stop thinking the talking point de jour is enough.
Also note, due to the expense they were often re-tasked to a different person.
An armorer could a lot of times adjust the armor to fit a smaller person, but not the other way around.
So any individual piece would be re cut to be smaller until no smaller person needed (or could afford it) happened along in the family before whatever technology advanced made it not practical anymore. Thus "that armor in the attic from great uncle Carl (that fucking midget) we couldn't use" ends up in the museum and other armor that got re-tasked got destroyed or used and NOT put away where it got preserved.
Armor size is a totally stupid way to measure people's size over time, there are tons of self-selecting things going on that keep it from being anywhere near a statistically useful sample. Actual bones, written records, and preserved clothing are much more useful.
I concur with the theory nutrition and health care are the cause. I first noticed this upon meeting the entire extended family of a Chinese girl (we were both under 18 at the time) who's elder sisters were born in China, Hong Kong, US respectively. And who's grandparents were backwater China-born.
Even with a bit of shrinkage due to age, the taller ones were the ones that had been in Hong Kong, and the tallest (my friend) lived her entire life up to that point in the US. The grandparents had been the same height as younger adults.
This, despite the fairly obvious "smaller women = prettier" bent in the family. (Her grandmother used to call her "ugly" because she was average sized American and had grown real bone structure rather than that lead-filled pseudo-bone the average back-woods Chinese had.)
Huh? With a URL in a web page the request comes from the browser run by the person sitting inside the network.
How is that a "remote web management" issue? Remote web management would allow a login attempt from anywhere on the internet.
This attack does not need that.
I think YOU need to go re-read the article and come back and explain how a URL on an internal machine is going to try to connect to the external interface of the router (which is what the "remote web management" does, turns on the WAN interface to accept logins.
An easy work around for this is make the router URL IP address on the LAN side not easily predictable.
Stick it somewhere in the 10. private IP space block and any code injection not also stumbling on the correct URL and will instead get a "Server not found" error.
This will vastly reduce the chances of getting hit by any future as of yet undiscovered security problems using a URL, updated patches or not.
The fact he was let out without complying with a lawful court order is the crime.
If we are not a nation of laws, we are a nation of thugs.
I hope a thug shoots you, your dog, and your family. Don't you dare whine and ask for justice, you just asserted it has no power and can dispense none.
It seems to me like the judge had good reason to think he's lying.
For fucks sake, if he lost 2.5 million, there's no receipts? No prospectus? No Fidelity account and history of day trading? No small business owner who says "yeah, he gave me money, I lost it in my business" If the guy wasn't lying, accounting for where 2.5 million went should be easy. Heck, with that much, he probably has an accountant who could whip up a report.
Furthermore, it is very very clear on the divorce papers for the filee and the second party what will happen upon hiding or otherwise restricting or even lying about money during the divorce. Go directly to jail due to contempt.
So he's either refusing to cooperate by paying up, or refusing to cooperate by not providing a good paper trail. Either way, he's refusing to cooperate and the contempt of court jail time is well deserved.
Your freeper fucking troofer shit link means nothing moron. Nobody need read link, comprende?
Rather than force the taxpayers to pay the bills for his depends, catheters and geritol they let him out. How he'll have to spend whatever money he's got left on his own health care, and he didn't get to use it (if he had it) for pleasure.
Those came out in 2007. So if the battery is the OEM battery, it's at the end of it's service life and sucks because it sucks, not because the encryption is using too much CPU.
The OP asked a stupid fucking question. Slashdotters are trying to answer an intelligent question, instead of the obvious "my butt itches" "well wipe it better retard" article we got. The only problem is, there IS no intelligent question buried under the prose.
It comes down to one simple truth that apparently a bunch of people haven't learned yet, so here it is thricely so it's emphasized properly;
Physical control = fucked
Physical control = fucked
Physical control = fucked.
Clear yet?
The answer "how do I brick my laptop remotely?" is "You don't you inexperienced little fuck, you encrypt the thing and not only protect against what happens during laptop theft but a WHOLE BUNCH OF OTHER SCENARIOS too."
Whole disk encryption is the ONLY way to reliably solve the problem of being out of physical control, all other discussion is either stupid or for entertainment purposes only. So don't you go bitching about the entertainment purposes only posts as being "offtopic" because that's pretty much all this can be once the first person to say "Use TrueCrypt whole disk encryption" Would you prefer 190 posts saying "Use encryption"?
And, 3rd shift workers get paid a premium for the inconvenience and medical problems that come with a nocturnal lifestyle.
This is just one more inconvenience. Talk to your employer if you think you deserve more money or fuck off. Your lack of ability to use your brain to make a living is not anybody else's problem but yours.
That's reasonable doubt. Defense needs to bring no proof, that's the burden of the prosecution.
Oh, I forgot, we are talking about the discarded prison population of the greatest Nanny State ever (UK) here, where there are no rights to free speech, self-defense or fair trials.
Yes in the article the malware is sniffing packets.
There are important differences though, traditional thought of "sniffing packets" involves a third party on a third machine, not something slightly more sophisticated than a keylogger on the same machine. Actual third party packet sniffing is still relatively rare, and the overly-long example in the overly-long summary doesn't refute that.
It's Palin-drooling stupidly obvious that if you get something infecting your computer you are going to have security problems, so I am not even sure why it's worth mentioning.
On the other hand, if you run a server and inspect logs, you know that just about any service gets pounded with brute force attacks from all over (which I assume are zombie machines). You can even look at the usernames used and follow what zombie is working on what botnet because they come in alphabetical order.
So, yeah, brute forcing it is way more common because it doesn't require an infection. (Make a Venn Diagram of the people using FTP who also get infected regularly and you'll find it's not that much of the population.)
The simple solution is don't open the service (or otherwise deny) to unknown IPs. I have all my networks all mapped out so I can reject traffic coming from elsewhere, I assume it would be easy to make a "visit this web page first" script to temporarily activate an IP for FTP access. I haven't done it because my IP changes once per year or so so for me it's not a big deal to do it manually.
Well, the average meth-head looks for something to smash the window before bothering to try the handle.
AND, if your stuff is unlocked and you have to make an insurance claim for some reason the insurance company can deny the claim based on it not being locked.
Locks won't stop a determined or whacked out person, but they do reduce the population of people who will get in, like kids, casual thieves, drunk people, those that would steal in broad daylight in areas where other people are, etc. and are worthwhile.
Escape velocity is approximately twice orbital velocity. * So, the ISS would need to have the booster equivalent of all the stuff they have up there COMBINED times two to get into Solar orbit as opposed to Earth orbit.
Even then, you aren't getting too far out of Earth orbit and run the risk of dropping the thing back from an unpredictable orbit some time over the next centuries.
So, no, it's not economical in any way shape or form to escape them, and it could be dangerous.
Deorbiting into the Pacific (which is usually where they target) is much safer and easier and can be done with a fraction of the fuel (they probably have enough on board).
It is my belief that the best Mech control setup that ever occurred was as follows:
Primary hand has the mouse when needed
Left hand has forward/back thrust, etc. controls
Twistable Joystick has up down, waist roll, and torso turn (Sidewinder Joystick)
Hat controls and keyboard, mouse, that weird thrust lever controller of the X-45 series (Saitek?) never ever matched up with the sidewinder joystick.
I have been looking for a new game to excuse buying a new rig, so this one might be it, but I just wish there were good and ROBUST twist joysticks that could handle play like the Sidewinder did.
