I have a dynamic ip update client installed on all my computers, which works great, but I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as far as rootkit/klogger/whatnot solutions without ending up potentially (compromising or) weakening the security of your own hosts (before the loss), especially something avail. on various OSes?
Sounds like the movie "Untraceable" (2007 or 2008).
Any hoot, I'd think spreading this sort of "material" bot-wide would serve to (eventually) lessen to risk of prosecution for holding such content or at least increase the complexity of the process of discovery or incrimination.
Was making a new ISO image using nLite and Windizupdate yesterday when it turned out that the plugin didn't install automatically on firefox 3; not wanting any other surprises, I tried to download version 2 instead and simply couldn't navigate to it for the life of me!
(I did end up installing the windizupdate.com plugin using their installer.)
Yes, here in Quebec (Canada) some peers would graduate with a Professional diploma that lent credit towards a trade, and others a Secondary (high school) diploma that sent you off to pre-university studies (CEGEP) for those so inclined.
That's nice for now, but eventually she'll end up having already (albeit indirectly) covered the curriculum for a given year!
Happened to me in early high school; got switched to "advanced" class right away, which was still far too lethargic for me despite being filled with studious geeks/nerds and goals, so I lost interested all-together and dropped out.
What if the Chinese gov simply told a bunch of lonely Chinese teenagers that they'd get access to playboy.com if they ran some scripts for them on the weekends?
anyhoot, here are the only "facts" from TFA:
- over 20 branches of CA gov hit - "U5" is quoted from a note given to Stockwell Day - link to China is unconfirmed by US and Canada - in an unrelated case, Le Monde (France) traced attacks back to Chinese nodes
How many printers does it take to pretend to download a file?
or...
How many peers on an "infringing" torrent might actually be,..., "just looking"?
Won't these (scientists) fall under a reasonable false-positives margin, considering it's not in a peer's nature to sit back and enjoy the smell of fresh pulp?
a co-worker of mine has a setup where his pool water is pumped through a sheet/cover on the roof of his house and back into his pool, thus heating it. (The "cover" just looks like black roofing so you can't really tell it's there from a couple of houses away.) Of course he is still using actual grid power for the pump itself, which is also part of the filtering system.
So your wife is missing, and the cops are asking questions; we're assuming that they're trying to find her and any clue would help. However, you ask if you're under arrest, you are told that you are not. Then you say nothing further, get up, and leave.
Don't you thus become the prime suspect in a jiffy?
At the very least you're not helping the cause, which might be to actually find your wife. So how does one navigate this one?
In my experience good UI design requires the very rare and special talent of setting one's ego aside and actually looking at things from another's perspective. Might this gift be what some tales refer to as "courage"?
Also, in usability testing, you quickly run out of proverbial virgins... y'know, the ones that feel like they're touching your product for the very first time.
Let's *dare* and imagine, even if only for a moment, that some of those developers have accepted the idea that Linux ain't for the mainstream, and thus code with that target market in mind, thus skipping some of the obvious basics for (perhaps) a more exhaustive feature list. Then the responsibility (of keeping things simple) might actually lie with the distro makers to carefully pick the default apps used, that is, only if they are indeed branding themselves as a desktop solution for *everyone*.
Interesting how "other" developers are quickly either stupid and/or don't have a girlfriend... yet, something about "doing it" for every "release" had me wondering if there was a hidden meme somewhere in there.
Me? I'm no developer. I'd much rather have a girlfriend.;)
(I am, of course, assuming there was no change to the physical aspect of the security during this migration.) Might it be *that* difficult for our presumed teenage malfaiteurs to reboot on a removable media and mount / to reset root's password? Since one of the first HOWTOs I landed upon back when I was discovering Linux offered just how to do that if you'd lost your passwd.
What they need to do is have a process for detecting when an account is spamming. They do.
When I tried using Gmail loader to transfer old mail from Apple Mail and Lotus Domino to Gmail, it took some trial and error to get it right; I quickly found myself blocked for a couple of hours for "sending too many undeliverable messages with external recipients", and this, for merely several hundred messages at a time.
Should this be used as safety-wear, like in a full-body suit, then what about the need to *cut-in* to treat an injury or to remove someone from a wreckage (à la jaws-of-life)?
A close approximation would be your browser storing passwords in the OS's key chain, and (optionally) your keychain being locked with a different passwd/key than your account's: so all we're missing is a context-sensitive menu on all "password" (masked) fields to generate a hash (or new complex password) for you.
You don't manage site passwords anymore, they're all "secure" in complexity and unique, you only remember the pass phrase to your key chain. (Is that not like encrypting a volume as opposed to files?)
--In retrospect, is there an already supported means (API?) to delegate the storage and retrieval of keys/passwords, so you could set your browser(s) to point to a (portable) encrypted and pass phrase protected keychain file (on a USB key perhaps)?
Since god is everywhere and in all things, etc., I once got a rather motivated room mate to admit that therefore, he was god!
It took the good part of a half-hour of running around in circles, after which I simply started selectively agreeing with a bunch of his hallmark-approved claims or conclusions until, in the end, he had nowhere to turn, he was cornered by his own words, and then I asked the question, and not being an idiot he knew it was coming, and so he immediately answered with "Yes!"
He had no choice but to admit (humbly?) that he was god.
I have to admit that at this point I did smile, nevertheless, that was the last time I ever felt the need to prove that point to myself, and I don't mean to (dis)prove the possibility of a god, but rather, to end the debate according to their own verbiage.
"If god is in control of everything then why is it the most religious countries get hit with major earthquakes, flooding and tsunamis?"
The way you ask your question begs for a rhetorical blessing such as: Wouldn't "control" be the relish of a punishing god, as opposed to a (for)giving one, and wouldn't then such disasters be simple reminders of its influence and wrath?
It's only human to want, if not need an explanation, one that is possibly as grand, reaching or mysterious as the emotions that we encounter as we taste the meat of life, be it pain or awe; the further distanced from empirical reality one is able to conceptualize, the less contradictory the answer need be, while when less is derived or known, the easier it is to wave/explain (these) away.
However, in the case of such disasters, one's ability to cope as an individual and perhaps even as a group is not limitless. I would rather think that the more a region is under (un)natural duress, the more difficult it may be for the populace as a whole to move beyond mere spiritual survival, and thus the likely continued prevalence of (or reliance in) any given system of beliefs.
The main problem is that "every" call to 911 must be treated as a valid emergency call until/unless proven otherwise, thus tying up resources for a significant amount of time; imagine the other end of a pseudo-silent call, you're a 911 tech and you can hear odd sounds, perhaps movement yet nothing helpful; is this someone grasping for their last breath and not able to speak on the phone due to injuries?
They could be helping someone in real need instead, so it's important to avoid accidental dials/calls.
In our office space here, we're regularly asked to be careful how we dial outside calls because getting an outside line requires dialing a 9, which could be accidentally repeated, and making a long distance has you dial a 1 next; apparently there's a few calls a day from our building!
Homeland Security has advised that there are unconfirmed reports of Sony-equipped suicide bomber kits being available on eBay to replace the common C4 chest-to-belt package.
My personal computer is my home entertainment system and my main communication device; using it for movies (rentals and downloads), television series (I don't own a TV), music, gaming, email, passive blogging, news, chatting, online ego massaging (dating site), social entertainment (youtube and random stuff), photography, educational materials (pr0n), banking and purchases.
It occurred to me that I was practically always in front of the darn thing, using it or at least always interacting with it, yet could not find any of the activities specifically wasteful.
I made two changes however, for one I stopped playing Wow, but that's simply because I lost interest, as I found it to be cyclical, but this didn't affect or reduce my computer use by much.
The other thing I did was setup all my email from various domains to get forwarded to my cell phone. It turned out that I would often go to the unit just to see if I had new mail, only to end up sorting non-essential arrivals, that could have waited to be processed at another time.
Now I get the first 140 characters of each email on my phone, live, and can even reply to it directly (using the phone) if the message requires some urgent response. Since I've made this change, the only time I actually sit in front of the computer to handle email is once in the morning, and once at night.
I used to just sit there, sort if like I might be waiting in front of a television, waiting for something else to come on, but now whenever I use the computer, I'm actually doing something with it. I used to see myself as dependent and didn't like that feeling and thought I ought to do something about it. Now I'm only dependent on my computer in the same sense that I'm dependent on electricity.

Use Opera Mini, meant to use on phones, but should be even more pleasant on an actual computer.
The key here is that remote proxies digest the content for you first, so that way you're reducing your actual consumption to the essentials.
