Tucked away in a tiny corner of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History in Washington, DC, ignored by most visitors, is a small display of a tiny rock.
You can touch this rock.
The description of the rock states that it is a meteorite from Mars that was collected in Antarctica.
I'd be all like: What the hell do you mean 'First thing in the morning'? I'm connected. I got my pager. I got my crackberry. I got my laptop next to my bed SSHed into the server. If the shit hits the fan, I'm all over it like white on rice, dude. There is no morning for me. There is no evening. There is no day. There is no night. I'm all about the IT 24/7/365.
there are SO DAMNED MANY easy exploits that will get you root or admin, that you don't usually need passwords to crack into systems...
that said, there is still a balance to maintain. passwords like "password" are just lame and too easy... a good 6-8 character password with letters, numbers, other will keep anyone from guessing passwords at random.
but you still have to lock down your systems to keep out those pesky remote sploits.
(also, the best password in the world is no good if you throw it across the 'net via telnet, http, and other unecrypted protocols.)
good passwords are just PART of the overall game of system security

Ironically I have both gone blind and gained super-powers!
I have touched Mars. Repeatedly.

Azul hardware (which is in production with 768 cores), supporting 700+ hardware threads in Java
Hmmm... one core per Java thread?
That sounds about right for Java apps...
Awesome! Now they can slow down my P2P traffic even faster!!
Hmmm.... yeah.... but what's that in Libraries of Congress??
I, personally, cannot wait for Kirk Cameron to post to the site a research paper that is a companion to his video!
Well at least he wasn't denied entry and/or sent to Gitmo on DMCA grounds.

Replying to my own post? Nice. I found this comparison between upstart and launchd. Long story short, launchd isn't event driven.
OS X went to launchd which is an init.d, cron, inetd, etc replacement. I'd like to see how launchd compares to upstart.
Here is the video of Shrub saying "If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator."
This satellite is part of Skynet.
If you outlaw DoS attacks, then only outlaws will have DoS attacks.
Won't somebody PLEASE think of the children!?
GCHQ developed public key cryptography in 1973.
He can't move if he's commuting like this.
I know I'm jumping in late, but if just a few people see this and respond, it'll do some good.
Go to the following sites and complain:
Department of Homeland Security - Select "Security Threats" - This is a threat to national security.
US Secret Service Electronics Crimes Branch - They do computer fraud cases.
FBI

This is already done with ships: This site has an article and a couple of pictures.
Ships are hauled up on to the beaches of Bangladesh and taken apart piece by piece until there's nothing left but toxic waste.
No, no, no. That's rule number three. Rule number one of Alien Abductor is that you don't talk about Alien Abductor.
There's a huge difference between these two queries:
to be or not to be
and
"to be or not to be"
Wired recently had an article recently about how brand names along just aren't cutting it any more.
Consumers are wising up the quality is more important than name.
Obviously these so-called "scientists" have never caught bees in a jar then stuck them in the freezer.
Man are they pissed when they thaw.
Ice age. Big deal.

Yeah, right. If I can take down clay pigeons with one of these, then I can take down a MAV.
They're on build 4053 and they won't be ready until about 2005 or 2006?
Woah. At the rate they're going, they'll be on approximately build 13000 by the time 2006 comes around.
Geez and I thought Gentoo had a lot of builds...
