Isn't there a truecrypt feature that allows you to have 2 passwords, each one showing a different partition. This allows you plausible deniability. Just hand over the dummy password and they can see the stuff you want them to see.
And if you don't have a second one, they're assume you do anyway, and torture you until you give up the 'other' password.
I imagine it would, it is just not the way it appears to be designed. It wasn't a big deal, the drive was running at the time but still sustained no damage.
Nice! I wonder if the mechanism has one of those g-sensors that auto-parks? Usually you'd expect a head splat onto the platters (SMART long-test, natch).
The funnier part was that my computer rebooted for no reason (it is set to remain off after power outage)
Maybe an un-handled SATA error killed the driver? I bet that code path isn't well-tested!
delivering intelligent policy management to support an automated "set it and forget it" approach to managing datacenter resources, including server deployment and storage management. Customers can define policies and establish the operating parameters, and VMware vSphere 5 does the rest.'
Linux, Fedora, and KDE stories aren't littered with meaningless marketing bullshit like this. A good Slashdot submission might explain some of the tech that inspired that blather, but this isn't a good one. I'd be annoyed if we got a Fedora story with this sort of nonsense to - it's not the product, it's the bias.
While CentOS is nice, you get what you get, and they're not about to share all the secret sauce they have figured out which you'd need to fork your own CentOS-like build process.
I suspect if Ascendos takes off, it could easily replace CentOS and/or cause many more CentOS build-process forks.
Ah... CentOS as it is is useful to Redhat. Redhat makes RHEL hard to figure out how to build, and the CentOS team has so few resources that it took them a year to get a release out.
But, Oracle has more resources and got theirs out way ahead of CentOS. That doesn't help RHEL. Ascendos looks like it has the right principles, and without strict binary compatibility won't be as attractive to some subset of CentOS users. I just wonder at what point Ascendos starts to become/as/ interesting as RHEL.
That's silly - there's plenty of work that is non-specific to any of the desktops, under the freedesktop moniker. The KDE and Gnome people are working on a wallet that works under both, but that also means it could work under XFCE and WindowMaker, etc.
Meanwhile, by not doing it all themselves (e.g. PAM integration) they have more resources to spend on KDE-specific stuff. This is a non-zero-sum game.
Flynn is the whistle blower. We seem to have a policy of punishing any sort of whistle blowing these days even if we have to fabricate evidence to do so.
Any admission of wrong-doing is seen to threaten the power structure.
From my perspective it would actually strengthen it, but, hey, I'm not a power broker playing by ape rules.
And the worse the corruption exposed, the worse the sentence
Not just retroactively - cover-ups can be a bitch too. I was told the other day that most of the evidence for the Enron scandal was in Building 7. Haven't verified that alleged fact for myself, but I didn't shrink back in horror and disbelief either.
> but how much extra will it cost parents who need to pay for care for younger children
Don't know, don't care. Perhaps the parents should have thought about possible costs before procreating?
Or, I dunno, maybe we can ditch the income taxes so families have the option again of the mother staying home with the children, and we can stop incessantly building an Empire?
I know I shouldn't be so cynical but I have to ask who is the new dictator?
The Central Bankers.
Consider this:
1) 2010 - Gaddafi announces intent to peg oil to the 'gold dinar'. 2) Feb 29, 2011 - 'National Transitional Council' formed. 3) Mar 19, 2011 - NATO Operations Begin 3a) Mar 19, 2011 - National Transitional Council announces new Central Bank of Benghazi and New National Oil Company. Because what rebel forces really need is a new central bank. 4) Aug 19, 2011 - Operation Mermaid Dawn (Battle of Tripoli) begins. NATO troops remove 1.4 tons of gold from Tripoli.
All coincidental, right? The real reason to go into Libya is because Gaddafi shot up 'his' citizens, like in Sudan, like in Syria, like in Bhutan, like in... well, the point is made.
t. In the end the penny dropped that this thing was a disaster and they sold the entire operation to an outsourcing firm.
That's good. We all know that it was a bad decision, and the market recognized that and dispatched the damaged assets. (I know, don't anthropomorphize markets, they hate that).
What's missing is a reputation system that would tag those bad decision makers as toxic.
So the allegations here are that Edward Naughton and Florian Mueller (neither of whom I am defending, by the way) have spread FUD to strong arm people into migrating to GPLv3 so that device makers won't fear the repercussion of violating GPLv2 and then having to do impossible legwork to get back in good standing and regain a license?
Totally coincidentally, The Hurd was recently released.
Is it time to go after Linux at the FSF and Android is just an easy target? Is Linux now the enemy?

FYI: Prison is a correctional system. It's a punishment for wrongdoing. It's also a rehabilitation for wrongdoers.
This depends on the jurisdiction. In NH, the only legitimate purpose of prison is reform.
Come to think of it, Flat Earthers thought that was peer reviewed also because a handful of ships captains said it was true..

It is supposed to sit on that edge, there aren't bumpers on the sides.
Will it vent if you put it flat? I have a WD external which has no bumpers at all, doesn't seem to get hot.

After the news about Steve Jobs I really had to check and double-check the date on this. Not April 1st?
What makes you think he didn't promise somebody back in 1999, "I won't retire a day before Steve Jobs does"?

yes, but the css has been broken for two months, so you can't see it.
The Billings method prevents fertilization. It also allows you to know exactly when you can conceive if you are trying to have a child.
So you're claiming a 100% success rate for everybody who uses the Billings method?
Stop being an ignorant bigot.
Do you even know what a luteal phase defect is?
Since Progress uses the Soyuz rocket, I was curious about the Soyuz escape system. Looks like it's pretty well thought through.
Still, I'd like to see Space X's Falcon 9 ready to replace the Soyuz rocket.

Nah, let's cut school days instead.
Their position on condoms is inconsistent. They are against them for the prevention of pregnancy yet support the rhythm method.
The trouble is, the rhythm method works by timing, so there will be fertilized embryos that die because they came too late in the cycle.
So, the Catholic teachings have killed far more babies (their definition) than if they hadn't come out against condoms in the first place.

On the long scale, markets do correct. On the short timescale, they don't.
Most companies don't tie compensation to long-term performance. Things like stock options, employee ownership do, to a certain degree.
Reputation is quite valuable. I doubt Amazon or eBay could be commerce giants without them.
