My buddy and I even made up names with random letters in a string of 15 or 20, then some porn words stuck on the end ".com".
Sure enough, two days later some squatter had them.
I think the leak is in the registrars themselves. Imagine the money someone could get from the squatters by simply setting up a script to automatically email these queries somewhere.
"Never a more wretched den of scum and villany" describes the whole domain registration process pretty well I think.
No, but the wear-leveling routines in the drive will happily move around your existing data so that rarely written sectors are available for heavy writing operations.
Seriously, this "issue" comes up in every discussion about SSDs, and it seems like people are just unwilling or unable to accept that what was once a huge problem with the technology is now not even remotely an issue. Any SSD you buy today should outlive a spinning disk, regardless of the operating conditions or use pattern. It is no longer 1989, engineers have solved these problems. Actually, I think the issue is there are differences in the drives that don't come up in the articles themselves, so that detail gets left out every time.
So, it's inevitable that someone who doesn't know this particular detail, but is already familiar with how platter based magnetic media work will come up with that issue in pretty much every discussion.
The problem is it's new. That's all. (Or, perhaps that techno-journalists write about stuff they don't know enough about.)
And it's always the Dems doing it. (Remember Tipper Gore vs. Ministry (the band)?)
Note however, once in office it's all reduced to huffing and puffing and no real progress.
It's the Democrats equivalent of the "abortion issue" where they make a lot of noise to get that particular fascist-leaning voters to vote for them. Then claim "well the rest of congress didn't want to do that" when that same slice of fundies starts to expect action.
Its BS to get votes from soccer moms and other retards.
Once you are old enough to see a few election cycles, you start to notice this stuff.
Or is flash on a web page (say, a bank) along with a normal form with a post command to the online banking server also threatened?
Basically, what I want to know is if with a flash enabled browser on my bank's online banking login web site with their crappy annoying SWF file, do I gotta disable Flash to be safe?
Actually, I have a ritual I go through with all my new "friends" users who need help.
I take them into the parking lot and smash a used computer, then have them help out with a few whacks.
This of course, gets around and computers share this information over the tubes. Henceforth, computers recognize you as "one that may smash me" and magically start behaving in my presence. Then on the way out, I mention "try not to click on random shit so much" and usually the problem goes away.
Every modern OS shipped in the last 5 years has had a built in command line FTP client. Even the one in Windows is brain-dead easy to script for most mundane tasks.
Just sayin. You used OSS software because you wanted to. You are part of the problem, not them.
The same folk that don't bother to read the manual and instead pick up the phone to fix an error.
Are the folk that don't bother to read the manual and instead pick up the phone to fix an error FOR THE EXACT SAME ERROR FOR THE EXACT SAME REASON. And who miss an also important bit of information they would have picked up by skimming through the manual working on the first issue.
People who don't read manuals need to be fired. Seriously, if you won't even attempt to be a marginal worker at your job, get out. McDs is hiring I hear. (Oh, wait, you gotta memorize their manuals TOO, at least they are in PICTURE form.)
And reboot is a way to get a few minutes to Google the issue to have something to try next (in case reboot doesn't work).
Likewise, "did you reboot?" "no" "Ok well do it now, and in the future, reboot before you call me" is a way of establishing who is in control and who gives the orders in the tech support situation.
Of course, that strategy doesn't work if you are the kiss-ass front line tech, but if you can say "I'll contact your boss and have him write you up for being uncooperative and wasting my time" folks straighten out and do what you tell them. (Never done that, but could if necessary.)
The reboot is the first step to getting them to do what you need them to do, and tell you what you need them to tell you, instead of them telling you what they think the problem is and leaving out small but critical details about what the issue is.
In other words, sometimes you have to humiliate them to get cooperation.
Well Drew did get the "ass ads" (seriously, naked man's ass) pulled because people bitched about it.
I think there's details in the blog entry, and either the ad network got dropped or threatened to be dropped.
I never saw it though, I block all ads from both Slashdot and Fark. (Pretty much everywhere else too.) It's my internet, you all can get the fark off of it or figure something else out to make money. My eyeballs belong to the hotties at the bar I frequent.
Since when does "responsibility" equate to retaliation by some petty bureaucrat as in the case here?
It seems to me the responsible citizen doesn't let their government officers get away with strong-arm tactics, thievery and all out corruption. That's where responsibility comes in. Not with "leave an easy trail for someone to key your car".
W.O.P.R. the "geek created" machine was wiser than the entire republican war feed-money-to-haliburton scheming machine 20 years before this particular war.
Imagine not starting a pointless and unjustified war, and I can imagine not losing one no matter the means.
Rumor has it some laser guided bombs were filled with cement and used as k-kill devices during the last Iraq war to take out tanks next to civilian targets.
At sub-orbital re-entry speeds, you don't need an explosive to fark up a tank. And if you can hit it reliably you don't need to go boom, it just shatters because a big block of stuff just came through the top, out the bottom and into the dirt below.
You can get radioactive crap all over already anyway. For many decades the radio-source for X-ray images was a box full of radioactive material. A lot of them now use a device to make the radiation, rather than a substance. These things are supposed to be regulated, but can and do go missing.
There was one that got "scrapped", taken to Mexico, melted for scrap and came back as parts of tables, they followed a trail of little pellets into Mexico with some geiger counters. But didn't know anything had happened until the tables were on the way back "hot". No missing device, not picking up the radiation on the side of the highway.
The idea that a new, useful, and tracked tool is going to be more dangerous than old, discarded, and perhaps untracked tool is foolish. There's already plenty of places to get radiation without risking buying one of these things.
You are already under the risk of someone doing something with radioactive material, these things won't add to that to a significant degree.
In short, you are already a victim of the fear mongering ignoramouses/a-holes.
Likewise, the stated mileage doesn't sound like it takes into account things like being stuck on the freeway for hours while your engine is still idling and consuming power or being stuck in downtown traffic so, while you're unlikely to be driving your full range daily, it seems just as likely that with greater urban congestion you'll be running through a lot of power while you don't manage to actually go very far making the need for frequent recharging necessary.
Care to explain which model of electric motor uses power when it is stopped?
I sure hope they don't start selling those in hard drives or my laptop battery time is going to suck!
and we don't like each other. Seriously, "getting away from it all" is code for "getting away from all of you bastards".
Snark aside, you have no goddamn clue about the geographical, cultural and population make up of the US if you think there are many places where one can combine a commute of 6 people into one trip consistently. Stop thinking about it, it won't freaking happen.
Only when small suburbs served by trains to the metro area are Americans traveling together to get to and from work.
Anyway, you are right in spirit, if people really felt the hurt in gas prices they:
- would check tire air pressure more than once a year - not accelerate like maniacs only to wait at a red light - take the stupid roof-rack off when it's not being used - ditto for the bike/bike rack (some people want it to be SEEN, not to use it) - clean the extra crap out of the trunk - stop driving in ways that force them to brake a lot; tailgating, speeding, driving too closely, not in the appropriate lane, etc. (Braking removes energy from the moving car system that you don't get to use to go forward.) - turn off air conditioning
Once I started doing these practices, my mileage increased considerably with no other changes to the car. (From about 20 mpg to about 28 mpg the "sticker max" for my car)
Remember, MPG says nothing about how fast, how cool, how elite and if you got there before the other dork on the highway. It's just how much gas you used to get there.
How come then when I bit-bucket all Pacific Rim traffic my Spam drops to essentially zero?
Wanna explain that? (Russia is quickly catching up, bless them.)
Not only that, the brute force, probe, bot, and other crap attacks stop too.
The "wanted/garbage" traffic ratio is about 1:300,000,000 for my services. I bet you we could cut the fibers under the ocean and most folks would not give a flying fuck. WE put up with a tremendous amount of garbage from those a-holes already, and I really really have no sympathy for their need for additional control.
They'll fuck it up anyway. So, don't let them have it.
Way to not get or refuse to answer the question! Escalation is one small step in the process, the OP was asking about that overall process, not the one step in the.sys file.
Local privilege escalation an be executed against the user account used with IIS (for example) no?
Or, perhaps the guest account, or whatever is used to display default printer shares on an otherwise unshared machine.... etc.
One would think if there is evidence there is zero day stuff out in the wild using this, someone could have captured the attack profile and stated a basic fact about that profile; do you gotta be doing something stupid sitting there in front of it to get this or not?
Seriously, if you can break up a task into small chunks and process it faster than some computer can, WTF difference does it make if it fits your definition of some benchmark or other. Did the data get processed? (_) Yes (_) No Who cares if YOU define a supercomputer a certain anal way and decide it isn't fastest under XYZ criterion.
You and Tom from Tom's Hardware should get together and chew the fat about your benchmarks.

What happens when you run the same napkin math on a drive that has Windows, Office, and two big games on it?
That leaves you about 10 GB of space to use for writes for swap, temp files, etc.
I could do with a 64 GB primary drive on my gaming machine.
Disk performance it the main roadblock to getting on the server first, which has a huge advantage over slower-loading players.
Yes, I am a LPB. Sue* me.

So does this still require a malicious site?

Being "decided on a per state basis" was already tried.
That was before the Roe vs. Wade case, and abortion was pretty much illegal all over the US.
In other words, that position is specifically designed to not sound evil but still is to it's core.
