    Lawyers, it is great to have them, but very expensive to have them pointed against you.

  2. Re:now, if someone could handle the weather warnin on Book Review: Threat Modeling: Designing For Security · · Score: 1

    Right, in weather watches alert to favorable contitions for adverse incidents and warning alert that shit is imminent or going down at the moment. It's why in the midwest large portions of states may be covered under a Tornado watch, but the actual warnings are much more sparse. The difference between a weather warning and a "Terrorism warning" though is that generally the weather makes no special effort to conceal its intentions.

  3. Re:Not a good idea on Ask Slashdot: Modern Web Development Applied Science Associates Degree? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Pretty much this. People going into an associates program generally are doing it for the vocational training with the expectation that when they graduate they can get a job where they continue learning and training in the craft. For this sort of curriculum you want to start with the basics of learning the relevant languages and tools, and bleed into working on practical projects before the end of the program. The biggest challenge in a two year curriculum is going to be introducing databases.

    These things actually do indeed exist. You know in the *NIX and Open source universe things that approach this are rather standard.

    What you send along to though can include things potentially mor idenifying than your IP might have ever been. The lesson is that there are no magic bullet solutions to anonymity and security which do not involve some degree or reading and learning how things work.

    There's a lot of fun to be had running OpenGenera. Don't knock it until you try it.

    This electricity bill was explained last Slashdot post. OpenBSD builds for VAX. OpenBSD builds for 68K. I for one am happy someone builds modern software to let the Vaxen run.

    Well, Canada is an easy locale to turn a lot of BTC into local cash. An example of a hard locale would be Somalia.

    In Canada that actually should be rather easy.

  20. Re:Stand their ground on Wikimedia Community Debates H.264 Support On Wikipedia Sites. · · Score: 1

    Why do we need hardware decoders in this day and age. If you want to offload work from CPU cores why not a fucking FPGA. Is this still the 1980s? Open formats possess an inherent advantage in the decoders being open to review. Who knows what exploit can be overflowed while decoding a video on a closed codec like H.264. The x86-64 still has loads of legacy cruft in there waiting to be exploited. There is abosolutely no reason for anyone purporting to provide open content to lock that content into proprietary formats.

  21. Re:Stand their ground on Wikimedia Community Debates H.264 Support On Wikipedia Sites. · · Score: 1

    Pretty much. Open standards can't gain ground unless someone insists on using them. It is like Microsoft's Office Documents in their battle agaisnt literally anything else. If no one objects to the propietary lock in, the open alternatives have to fight for their survival at a severe disadvantage.

  22. Re:Any yeast found ? on Ancient Egyptian Brewer's Tomb Found · · Score: 3, Informative

    Tetracycline family antibiotics are actually very popular for use in humans. Like any antibiotic though resistance is a concern as is making sure the antibiotic in question is effective on the pathogen casuing problems. Tetracyclines tend to be bacteriostatic antibiotics rather than bacteriocidal (so they require use with a functioning immune system to have maximum benefit) which along with their side effect profile makes their use a bit more targeted in practice generally than some other antibiotics.

    Well, the big problem here is how his CEOness handled the aftermath. This everything is everyone else's fault mentality he has is going to keep him from ever getting that three billion dollars. I mean when asked if it would kill him to take one iota of responsibility he answered "Yes".

    Well, when the major constituent of Cheerios (oats) doesn't have a GM variety, this seems like a cheap way to give the people what they want. Even if the reason the people want it is poor.
