    I really like pressing esc then period - it gives you the last argument of the last command :)

  2. Re:Don't Build Your Own Device on DSS/HIPPA/SOX Unalterable Audit Logs? · · Score: 0

    A variation on one I have seen is daily logs which are signed, the signature and last ID are inserted in to the top of the next days logs. The signature and last ID were then published publicly (website, newsgroup, etc).

    Altering old logs means that you have to alter all the sub-sequential logs as the signature changes, which obviously chains down the logs. As the signatures / ID's are public it becomes extremely unlikely to go undetected.

    Obviously you could decrease the "rotate" interval.

    I read about this on Stamper at http://www.itconsult.co.uk/stamper/stampinf.htm

  3. Re:Erase "something"? on Software Deletes Files to Defend Against Piracy · · Score: 0

    You'd better make sure you read the license you agree to before you enter your pirated serial number...as if I was him, I'd sure as hell have a decent disclaimer about that.

    I'll also wager that unless he a is a complete monkey (which is quite possible) the serial numbers will differ more than a few digits, so claiming "accident" would be bollocks.

    I don't understand why he wouldn't just encrypt your home directory / random file...and you get it unlocked when you buy a legit license, got to be better than deleting it.

    Anyway - I agree that its opening him self to being sued, how ever unsuccessful this may be.

    I'm not upgrading to Core 2 - I've just fitted 2 x Opteron 270's from eBay for ~300 pounds. Should be pretty nippy and is cheaper than a new board and new chip, and should be quicker :P

    Core 2 isnt the only option, its just a good one.

  8. Zen Internet on True Unlimited Broadband in the UK? · · Score: 0

    They do a 8mbit package for business use, which is availible at home which is unlimited. They are also a bunch of massive geeks and theyre network is one of the best in the UK.

    Think its about £80+VAT / mo - which is alot, but not split 4 ways.

    http://www.zenadsl.co.uk/ML_Business.aspx?page=527

    They've won the ISP of the year award in the UK for several years running.

    I am on their 8mbit home, which has a 50gb cap. Which I hit most months on my own - so I will be upgrading soon to the above.

  11. Re:Not the first on 15-Year-Old Girl Survives Rabies Infection · · Score: 0
    From what I can find, the CDC (centre for disease control) states;

    To date only six documented cases of human survival from clinical rabies have been reported and each included a history of either pre- or postexposure prophylaxis.

    (taken from here, about half way down)

    Also of interest is another page with some more details about the "cure" they used on the 15 year old, the best bits are bellow;

    Willoughby said he had not expected Giese to survive when she was admitted to the hospital. But he said he studied numerous cases of the disease, and a team of consultants, including CDC officials, decided within four hours to go ahead with the experimental treatment.

    "I knew that this was a 100 percent fatal disease, so I knew there wasn't much we could do," Willoughby said.

    Willoughby said he could not reveal the exact drugs that were used because medical protocol requires scientists first to publish the results in a medical journal. He said they were two anesthetic and two antiviral medications.

  18. Re:Random fact... on The Bugatti Veyron · · Score: 1
    With the same tires, my car would probably stay neck and neck with this thing up to about 30 MPH, but then my ability to accelerate starts being limited by horsepower instead of tire traction.

    Assuming you had 4WD, traction control, and launch control (and it was all as good as that of a Veyron - which I doubt), you would have problems with 1) your clutch - doing a lauch with massive tires would probably cause it to slip if you had enough power or 2) stall the engine (if you had less power/good clutch), or 3) you would get too much grip and your engine would bog down, or 4) you would break a driveshaft


    Basically, you've got no chance against a veyron, even to 30mph. The Veyron is designed to have 1000bhp (and rumoured to be capable of 1000kw) - and so would have less worry about these problems, your mitia or whatever was not designed for 0-30 runs with massive tires
