Does having selinux=0 on the commandline mean that all selinux patches in the kernel do nothing whatsoever? Wouldn't it be better to, somehow, get a kernel with absolutely no selinux code?
Probably, but make sure whoever is providing that kernel for you is also providing you with security updates so you're not jumping out of the proverbial pan.
Just the other day there was a story about the US having more oil and gas than Saudi Arabia, and somebody commented that the EU still needs Saudi oil, so I responded that perhaps the EU should deal with their own problems then.
The groupthink mods on Slashdot still think the Marshall Plan is in effect. They ought to talk to the ghost of Charles de Gaulle about that.
Isn't it nice when the media refrains from absolute wild-ass random speculation and waits for the facts? Wouldn't it be nice if/. posters could be trained to do the same?
hey, man, that's why Slashdot runs stories a week late - to avoid all that realtime misinformation.
Almost certainly what the summary/title is trying to say is that the new technique does not make its surrounding radioactive
I agree, but it's worth mentioning that it's not that huge of a problem with the existing systems. If you've ever been to a tokamak, the inside is lined with copper. The neutrons do make the copper radioactive, but just a little bit, and it's back to normal copper in a few decades.
It's more of a maintenance downside than it is one of nuclear waste - if the copper gets too radioactive, it becomes harder to maintain the plasma.
Many people who deal with mutliuser systems require ACLs and MACs.
Yes, but the remaining question is "why does Snowden have a slide deck on SELinux?".
Perhaps it's the *only* example he could find of NSA doing good work that did not subvert Americans' security so he took it along to demonstrate fairness.
Or perhaps not. For now I'm using selinux=0 on the kernel command line and separating concerns with virtual machines.
But at least make something that can be fabbed. MIPS and ARM are doing great with implementing reference designs.
Heck, I'd *love* a Chinese factory to take an open graphics card spec and crank out $9 low-power cards for me to use in a server. PCI is fine, but it kills me to put a $50 GeForce card with a heatsink and fan in a normally headless machine!
FPGA is a great target for distributed development; just support those who want to implement it in an an ASIC.
'Black market' is just a propaganda term for 'free market' when a government has banned some portion of that free market.
It's the items that are sold that can be of dubious moral stature, not the mechanism, unless you assume a priori that all government bans are moral.
Fortunately a Constitutional Amendment was passed giving the US Federal Government the power to prohibit recreational drugs. Oh, no, wait. Well then, fortunately the US Federal Government has a general police power. No, that's that's not right either. Fortunately there are now more black men in prison for drug 'crimes' than were ever slaves... ah, hell - it's moral because they have guns and are willing to use them!
Those who understand math can understand how badly they're being screwed
I'll let Carlin get this one:
They don't want people who are smart enough to sit around a kitchen table and think about how badly they're getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard 30 fuckin' years ago. They don't want that. You know what they want? They want obedient workers. Obedient workers, people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork. And just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime and vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it. And now they're coming for your Social Security money. They want your fuckin' retirement money. They want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street. And you know something? They'll get it. They'll get it all from you sooner or later 'cause they own this fuckin' place. It's a big club and you ain't in it. You and I are not in the big club....The table is tilted, folks. The game is rigged and nobody seems to notice....And nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care. That's what the owners count on. The fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white and blue dick that's being jammed up their assholes every day, because the owners of this country know the truth. It's called the American Dream, 'cause you have to be asleep to believe it.
I think we can guess this one: "We need more money."
That aside, I was reading a paper this morning about how the fluoridation chemicals that most cities put into their water supply, aside from causing cancer, causes lead to leach out of plumbing. America has half of the world's fluoridated population. Coincidence, perhaps.
Humanity tried constructing limited governments that nobody, even by vote, could seize control over everybody in most aspects. Even that seems to be on a slow, grinding down failboat.
Failing isn't the problem - rather, we'd expect failures of old systems as society evolves and the old ones become obsolete. Communications technology is certainly a big part of why they're becoming obsolete - in retrospect we may conclude (by reduction) that the telegraph killed the Republic.
What gets to be a problem is when the entrenched/enriched interests in those power structures fight the failure, usually against the society that is evolving. That's what's happening now.
Bureaucratic incompetence has been the strongest protector of civil liberties to date
Wait until one of the aggrieved nations decides to do a 'limited kinetic action' on this facility - only to cripple the capabilities of a program that's being run in violation of international law.
I'm sure DC will simply view it as judicious global policing against a rogue power.
If the city has a problem with certain property owners they can request data on those specific owners.
I wonder when they seize my-diary.com if they're still going to claim third-party disclosure as a legal theory and insist that people have no expectation of privacy in their data.
The city shouldn't be permitted to go on a fishing expedition to prove a theory.
You say that like the 4th Amendment applies to Herr Bloomberg.
This is just like the NSA demanding all phone records from Verizon with the possibility that only a few may be terrorists.
NYC has its own army, its own missiles - why not its own NSA? Those guys in DC shouldn't get to do all the goosestepping!

No it's your own stupidity that kills you in this case if you buy those for your servers.
Can you can point to something better or are you just spouting off again, AC?
All server mobos have integrated GPUs.
That would be great if it were so, but it's not.
probably enough to sign a piece of paper talking about some endangered owl on the future plant site....
Don't be silly - SOP these days is to clear out any endangered wildlife on a potential plant site before EPA gets wind of it.

So about as safe as Fukushima...
No, that's completely different.

If you're going to need to land right away, you'll probably be able to stay with the same person all the way to the ground.
Are all ATC's certified on small plane operations?

Grandma is not, and boy will she be pissed if the pols put her on furlough.
They've already cut her effective benefits in half with bureaucratic accounting tricks.
Makes me wonder why we pay for the other 90%.
Who else is going to deny every application to build safer, more modern reactors?
Like they were going to stop earthquakes???
How's that joke go - "What do you call 90% of an agency's bureaucrats standing out in front of a tsunami"?
Easier to hold.
And carry. Heck, even a whiskey flask is curved.
You have surely noticed your hand is not totally flat.
Nor any other parts of your body. Except, of course, my washboard abs. hahaha - yeah.

Seriously, Samsung can do neat stuff and have it have nothing to do with Apple at all.

My guess: someone used some REALLY bad assumptions for electrical infrastructure planning. . .
Hey, don't be too hard on the electrical engineers - James Clapper told them that the power requirements would be really low.
Could it be simplifying their tech support somehow?
Not if they start getting a thousand calls a day about this, after this article...
