The cause of the explosion is under investigation but Brooks says there are no indiciations it was anything other than an accident.
I am surprised that this type of an "accident" is able to occur. Did someone forget to cap something? Was someone smoking? I would hope that this kind of process would be somewhat failsafe.
If you're seriously considering this as a possibility, I'd say treat it like a DR drill. Burn everything down to bare metal and restore only the data. It's the only way to be sure...
That seems a bit risky. I cannot see any manager worth his salt giving authorization to purposely destroying data "to see if the backup works".
Judging from the restrictions being imposed the rest of the world that should be making more of us angry. Why there are not more people up in arms about the restrictions in the middle east is beyond me.
Re:DocBook - like HTML 1.0, only dumber

DocBook is being used for what HTML was originally intended - technical publications.
Why not just use HTML? It even supports pictures!
HTML was originally meant as a subset or replacement of SGML. The primary goal was to be able to share documents; technical or not. Tim Berners-Lee's main goal in creating HTML was to have a way to share information easily.
What is strange about that? It sounds like they want to secure the term for use in marketing the town. Cities are just looking for a way to set themselves apart and make them marketable.
It is just like Microsot patenting or trademarking their latest slogan ("Your Potential. Our Passion" or whatever it is).
Frankly, if nothing else it will help America have some idea as to what is happening, and that there is a war going on.
You would hope but how many Americans actually know about Wikileaks?
The fact that it has been in all major new agencies for the past few weeks leads me to suspect that most know about wikileaks. Understanding it is another matter...
Uhm, how do you make any money off your vending machine if it's a horrendously over-engineered piece of expensive technology?
My guess it will be a combination of higher prices and a hope that the act of matching the customer to a perfect snack will make them come back for more and more.
Also my bet is that these machines will only be deployed in very high traffic areas inside high profit machines; not at the the gumball machine beside a bus stop in the middle of nowhere.
One drawback, though, is that spinal fluid is obtained with a spinal tap, and that procedure makes most doctors and many patients nervous. The procedure involves putting a needle in the spinal space and withdrawing a small amount of fluid.
I know that more education is needed in this area. Any thing involving the back is inherently risky. The wikipedia article indicates. that well the risk is low it is a major procedure and not many people will be comfortable in having one for just a test.
Agreed. Everything was done within the rules of the game. And further more, from my read of the article, it was not $1,200 from an individual player but a collection of credits totaling $1200.
Next on/., $20000 worth of meat lost yesterday through ovens configured by accident to cook the food too hot.
In order for the exploit to work and jailbreak one of the devices, it first has to get control of the mobile browser on the device. The next step would be to somehow circumvent DEP (Data Execution Prevention), the memory protection on the browser. The exploit then needs to find a way to break out of the iPhone's sandbox environment and get root privileges on the phone. And finally, it would need to turn off the code-signing functionality that Apple uses to enforce its rules on official apps.
Quite a lot of things need to line up for this to occur. Not that it shouldn't be fixed but to make to big a deal out of this seems to be an overkill or "chicken-little-syndrome".
Agreed. The asker seems to be looking for some silver bullet there really is none. Ultimately it dies not matter what language you use or what paradigm you subscribe to. The only thing that will make you proficient is practice.
Maybe the best option is to take an introductory programming course at a community collage and see if you like it?
If your company has the resources and the expertise, consider developing your own specialized tools to help thwart attacks.
Unless your company is a security or firewall provider I find it hard to believe that anything developed in-house will be better than a commercially available product.
The summary fails to mention that the liked study only focuses on blind people. So blind pedestrians are no more likely to get hit by a hybrid then full sighted pedestrians.
A leading Chinese Internet regulator has vowed to reduce anonymity in China's portion of cyberspace, calling for new rules to require people to use their real names when buying a mobile phone or going online, according to a human rights group
It looks like some people want that to be the law, not that it is the law.
People can already be traced. In cased of extreme abuse the IP can lead to a subpoena which can lead to the ISP having to reveal the real location of who had that IP at that time. Why would Blizzard want real name to be mandatory for playing?

This is exciting but it looks like it has a ways to go before it is a viable treatment for humans.

If you don't like the FCC regulations, write your congressperson, get them changed.
You must be new here...
As the Microsoft trials taught us data is hard to delete permanently.
More importantly, wasn't Obama supposed to have the most transparent administration?
To be fair, all the information comes from 2006 or earlier; way before Obama came into power.

All the surveillance is based on MythTV. Seems open source friendly.

. Until this is better defined I cannot see it holding any legal power in any court.
The summary fails to mention that the liked study only focuses on blind people. So blind pedestrians are no more likely to get hit by a hybrid then full sighted pedestrians.
Even more so how many doctors or patients are going to have the knowledge to "examine the source code" and tell whether it is working properly?
Agreed it seems pretty obvious. At least not "really, really weird at best" like the article says. A more reliable source says it better.
