As a Republican you do realize that in the past 20 years, your party has changed drastically.
... and even more so in the last 4-8 years. Before 9/11, I thought Bush was pretty good, and or the most part Republicans were at least pretending to be conservative.
Since 9/11, I feel very betrayed by the Republican party. Living in fear of terrorism is *not* a basic conservative philosophy. While I think removing a bad dictator was a worthy cause in and of itself, (discussions of who put him there aside) I think too much has been done in the name of national security, which has eroded our constitutional rights. I'd rather risk more danger at home and keep my rights, thank you very much.
Unfortunately, I don't see Democrats doing any better, and there are numerous other issues that I disagree with. So what to do? The only thing I know to do is to keep trying to influence members of my own party to return to the original beliefs that made the party good.
And why oh why, I have to ask... WHY is the one with the higher bar the typical design for guys? Might as well call that bar a nutcracker.
On a related note, if you like to tinker with your bicycle, *always* be sure the seat is properly tightened. Tipping forward is bad enough; tipping back and landing on the tire.... that's a whole new level of pain coming to meet you.
Yeah, this was my thought as well. TFA is, as usual, slim on the technical details...
Yeah, but does that really matter? You are one of the three people on slashdot that actually reads the articles (which I think is against the rules here). I know I didnt read it.
;-)
But if it weren't for those few people, I wouldn't know that TFA is slim on details... now I know that I may as well not RTFA. So thanks, article-reading-person! You're our hero!
If you feel that shouting your protected information across the room without some form of encryption is a great idea, hey, go for it. Basic security 101 - Fail.
I didn't say it was a good idea, or good security. Nevertheless, anyone who overhears that info and *uses* it, is doing wrong.

If you are busy writing down what you hear and/or intend to use it, yes!
you'd only pull a bit over 24KVA if you include lighting and a fridge so unless you are a moron a 100A service panel should be enough.
It doesn't work that way. Sure that may be enough for the usage, but the design of the wiring includes a bit of over engineering I suppose, for safety.
When you calculate the maximum number of outlets allowed by code, multiply by the number of circuits, and also count light circuits and heavier appliances, there is a a minimum size service entrance that you must use, according to the National Electrical Code.
I don't remember using KVA for any calculations in building houses, but here's what a typical house may have. (I'm like 15 years out of the business, so this is from rusty memory.)
My own house: Outlets - generally 4-5 per circuit, about 8 sets.
8x20A circuits
Oh, plus 2 more for furnace and washer.
That's 10 20 amp circuits.
Then I have a range, dryer, an air conditioner and a heat pump with electric backup. That's a double pole 20, 3 30's, and a 40, all double pole for 240 volts.
That completely maxes out all the available slots in a 200 amp square-d main breaker box.
So while the actual use never meets the full potential, it has to be sized that way due to engineering and saftey codes.
I don't know where you are from or what century, but your numbers are too low. A window air conditioner can pull more than 5A by itself.
The standard around here in KS is 200 amp mains for all but the smallest of houses, and most circuits are 20 amp circuits, with 30,40,and 50 amp circuits for stoves, ovens, air conditioners and dryers. It's hard to find circuit breakers for anything smaller.
I remember helping my dad, an electrician, replace many 100 amp service mains because there wasn't enough room for another circuit.
Mind you, that doesn't mean they use all that power, but it's just the regulations to ensure each part can handle a given amount of load safely. Read the federal building code, you'll see how much it usually is.
There is a way that will fool most people. While the certificate should throw an error if the domain doesn't match the cert, the attacker could still get most people to not notice.
First, hijack the dns for "mybank.com". Once the dns is completely poisoned, use that to redirect to a page that redirects the web browser to "mybankowned.com" which the attacker has already registered and set up a legit cert for.
The site "mybankowned.com" then mirrors the original bank site, and passes through all communications, but recording everything it wants.
The only way this is detectable is if the customer clicks on the certificate or looks at the address bar and realizes that "mybankowned.com" is not registered to their bank. The cert chain is fine, and so that dog didn't bark.
unless *.victim.com = *.slashdot.org... and btw, the attack also caries glue records that can overwrite other records, including the nameservers. So by getting you to go to aaaagjghfjgf.slashdot.com, they have made all slashdot pages bad for you, and the next time you log in ( to their false page), they have your account information.
Like I said, I'm not advocating caseless, but this is the one good argument they have. It's easier from the programmer's perspective to be case sensitive, for sure, and some real difficulties exist for trying to make a good caseless system. In any case (I groan at my own pun), having such similar identifiers for different semantic meanings is a bad idea.

Well, that's a redundant statement too!
I don't think the choice of song has much do to with the poor quality... ;)
That's true of any programming language. Welcome to the "science" part of Computer Science. It's what separates the wheat from the chaff.

Oh, the /. collective lost our standards around here a long time ago...

No, actually neither of those facts are relevant. The branch that Ubuntu comes from is irrelevant. Ubuntu is quite stable in its own right.
Why this is a troll but the BSD post isn't is beyond me.
Ooohhh, the amber screens. Those were awesome! Obviously a better computer. (Despite the fact that both terminals went to the same VAX)
It's called Ubuntu.
You forgot the step where you realized you stuck the USB connector into the ethernet slot. It fits, I kid you not.
Having a newborn baby, which fills the trash with tons of vile stench, is a sure fire cure for forgetting to take out the trash. Trust me.
Sure, all I see are stars.
yes, it's a classic. http://www.bash.org/?244321

Ah but most people don't type https. They just type "www.mybank.com" and let the browser assume http which gets redirected to https when they login.
whoops, I didn't mean to post yet, cause I switched from going from memory to actually looking at my own breaker box.
And truthfully, I need a few more circuits because if I try to vacuum upstairs, I trip a breaker with all my servers on it.
I don't have a large house, I'd say I'm in the 50th percentile of homes around here.
