Running a persistent Linux OS off of it and the hardware write protect switch is nice as Windows tries to helpfully format anything that's not FAT/NTFS. Of course I've gotten kernel panics more then once booting off this when I forget to turn it back, as it fails to remount the root filesystem R/W...
Social conservatives keep demanding laws to regulate everyone because their usual tools of ostracism and shame are only effective within their own communities.
The header bar breaking scrolling was so annoying to me that I blocked all CSS for the site. Aside from the special indent it gives quoted text, I actually found a page devoid of all formatting whatsoever to be more usable than their redesign.
Corporations seem like a much more likely consumer of this data than anyone else. I'm thinking about downloading it just to see... I'll let you know how the sort time goes....
(un)fortunately, it's already sorted for you.
The bulk of the torrent is a 1.29GB bzip2'ed.txt file, which decompresses to ~9.7GB. It contains 170,879,859 rows. Took 7 hours to load that into a MySQL database. I basically only grabbed this to learn about database performance.
I pity both Windows Notepad, and the poor fool who unzips and doubleclicks it without thinking:)
Nothing better sums up their outdated business model then the fact that this study was done by 'The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry'.
The police have long benefited by the fact that most people inclined to seriously break the law are, on average, dumber than the detectives set to find them.
This plan could be even more beneficial for the intelligent criminal. When your IDS picks up probing from an IP used by the cops, you'd get a nice advanced warning to start destroying all the evidence. Compare this to the amount of time you get after they show up at your door with a warrant.
...encrypt it. Full disk encryption is relatively cheap, easy, and unobtrusive.
It would also be a gigantic red flag for someone expecting your password protection to involve clicking a flower icon at the windows login screen. Personally, I would just stick my data on a couple multi-GB encrypted volumes named gamedisk1.iso or hiberfil.sys. The last thing you want to do is give TSA a reason to get another free laptop.
If they really were trying to prove corruption they'd have surely hacked the other candidates as well.
It's also possible that their 'hacking skills' don't go too far beyond guessing a password and the other candidates aren't stupid enough to use a Yahoo account for official government correspondence.
The same here (.3 and.4 are also DNS servers). Far more reliable then my ISP, and lower latency to boot. Sadly, I just checked and they don't seem to be randomizing the source ports...
A far easier way then protesting it would be to make a 2-4GB truecrypt volume in a root directory named pagefile.sys. It's not like you'll be needing any swap, even on a long flight, with a decent amount of RAM.
I guess it was a mistake to mention 'damage' as my point had nothing to do with using a neighbors WAP to cause harm. That's more murky legal territory still not well defined in the physical world.
Actually, I really like the idea of a randomized default SSID and WPA key out of the box. Since most people would keep them at defaults it might actually make support easier then if you had people playing around with their own settings.
The router is not sentient. It has no ability to judge, and despite the fact that it may invite some people in does not mean it is entitled to do so or that they are entitled to enter. People are responsible for the consequences of machinery they operate. If you operate a router that is configured to provide access to anyone who asks, you have already given your consent to the requester. It doesn't matter if you are ignorant of this, could you imagine successfully arguing that you should not be held liable for damage you did with a bulldozer because you never bothered to read it's manual and just assumed it would work?
Am I the only person around here that doesn't think this computer is old? I suppose 3Ghz/1GB might be considered 'old' in computer years but there's no way in hell you could call that 'minimal hardware'.
Chinas ground-force numbers hardly make it more powerful. What good are troops if you can't get them to the fight? The ability for America to invade a country that the President has never even heard of within 24 hours is simultaneously one of our greatest strengths and our greatest weaknesses.

On a related note, I can't understand why someone can't actually provide HARDWARE write protect on a USB stick
If you're looking for one I've been using one of these:

Palin brought gunsights to the fight. Now she's facing criticism. If she can't take it, she shouldn't start it.
It's a bit ironic. A basic rule of firearm safety is that you never aim a gun at anything you don't intend to shoot.
The words 'Statement:' and 'slow painful death' caused my brain to read your comment in HK-47's voice.

Any chance they can make that permanent?
Use Addblock Plus and add the following element hiding rules:

Most people don't unknowingly wear a mask during their day to day activities. The same can't be said of network proxies.

You can change it back to the original format under 'Comments' in your user preferences.
No service, therefore no denial!
I read your comment twice before I realized that it wasn't a joke about the declining quality of television programming.
I can't wait to hear "My vision is augmented" by someone who doesn't get the reference.
