Is there a file that or something in init that gets activated on sleep? If so, should just be a matter of "truecrypt -d" or something like that whenever the machine is going into a suspended state.
The article also notes that a lot of the tech in these is new, so older games don't necessarily take advantage of it. It would be interesting to see how this looks a year from now.
I'm not even sure it's a performance thing. A lot of countries in Asian have employees putting in some fairly insane work hours compared to their western counterparts, and you'd be hard-pressed to convince me that Samsung employees in N America are harder working than those in Korea.
However, it seems to almost a prestige thing. Additionally, it's probably harder in many cases to move somebody from N America to Korea/China/Japan than vise-versa (comparatively more people in those countries at least speak *some* English and transition easier).
Like my XP soundcards that don't work in Vista/7? My Vista devices that don't work in win8? How about programs that require.NET [insert non-latest version here]?
I see your doctors and raise you... teachers (especially older teachers). Basically the attitude is "we're here to teach, not to learn" (or pay attention to some young whipper-snapper telling them how to use *their* equipment).
Indeed, if we allow these "anonymous" comments to stand, how about if somebody creates an anon account to accuse somebody of being a sex offender, or something else which could get them into a lot of trouble? Just because it's a business doesn't mean they don't have a right to fight against abuse. As it stands, it went to court and a judge has ruled. It will be interesting to see if the posters are real customers, trolls, or rival companies.
the NSA will be able to spy on it without trespassing any law regulating spying on its own citizens
How do we figure this? Supposedly spying on foreigners INSIDE America is OK, so why would spying on citizens OUTSIDE be legally acceptable? I thought it was about who is being spied on, not where the information is...
The bad news: The VAX server has been owned The good news: The hackers are asking for $5000, but they've agreed to take the $75k/year VAX admin position you posted instead.
When I hear most people talk about decriminalization, it's regarding marijuana. Generally this is based on its rather low level of side-effects or negative health effects in comparison to legal drugs such as alcohol or cigarettes etc. They also mentioned various potential health effects esp in the treatment of certain medical conditions.
What I don't generally hear is people supporting decriminalization of cocaine, heroin, etc, much of which is provided by these the drug cartels. It's wishful thinking that legalizing pot would kill the cartels, as it's not really a primary cash product for them anyhow. It might put the seedy dealer on your street corner out of business and free up cops to deal with other issues, but legalizing pot is not going to do much about drug tunnels, cartels, or the criminal activity associated with them.
"if it's true that Facebook has been silently marking users as publicly 'liking' a page because they mentioned the page in a private message"
So some guy who's a closet "X" mentions a page about "X" in a PM to a friend (whom he trusts). Facebook notes this, and marks him as liking "X" to the whole friends list, including many old-fashioned relatives etc.
Seriously, low-power dual-core x64? I use an "E" series quad-core for my home server, but even that's stretching the definition of "low-power", at least from a power-consumption standpoint. If you just want a router and NAS you'd probably be a lot better off with either a multi-core ARM (or possibly atom/VIA CPU if you want X86).
Power consumption of a multi-core x64 CPU is definitely going to be a fair bit higher. That said, you could probably accomplish something similar with the aforementioned consumer hardware for a similar price or less.
I like my Q10 for work stuff, but frankly the Q10's keyboard is not as usable as the old bold. The main reason for this seems to be that the keys are mashed together. I noticed that a "Q5" is available (how do they come up with these numbers??), which has keys spaced in the more usable "chiclet" fashion.
Personal opinion: It was somewhat more interesting than the previous. It had less filler, but still enough that you can realize how they're stretching it out to make three movies out of a single book (vs 3 movies for 3 books with LOTR).
I guess part of the issue is that these days, places are accepting BC in lieu of fiat currencies. Nowadays you can buy a pizza with BC. Unless the pizza place is listing a [local currency] value for the transaction, that fluctuating value is going to be a PITA to nail down to dollars.
How is the value of a BC calculated? They're pretty volatile value-wise. I don't really understand US tax law, but I thought that they weren't taxable until changed into dollars or whatever.
What happens if you have $500,000 worth of BC at tax-time and then the bottom drops out so that they're only worth $50k the next month?
Not quite what I meant. Basically, they can probably do it within XX% accurate, where on a really good day that XX% might be in the 90's... but that still means that some poor bastard in that region between 1-10% could be misidentified and end up on a terrorist watch list with a bag over his head and a secret trial...
Just because you've connected 123.233.266.41 with "Bob Smith", doesn't mean you've actually connected to the right person. We've already seen cases where RIAA supoena's to ISP's have gotten the addresses of grandmothers who can barely use email much less file-sharing... so how do we know there "connections" are accurate.
With homebrew, at least you can make sure it's as up-to-date as possible. Some of the ISP gear is *OLD* and there's no guarantee that your ISP is pushing out any sort of regular security updates (or that they're even provided by the manufacturer).

Indeed. If they have access to your RAM, they could copy that and probably filter an open document of there just as well as a password.
Good game developers make games to run at reasonable performance on the most machines. it sells a lot more games that way...

Do many senior managers read slashdot or net-security? Unless it's in Times/Forbes/etc they not likely to read about it.

No, in some ways he gets worse treatment than mass-murderers. They, at least, are allowed to have books to read.

Yeah, sounds like a really good idea.

Well, once the efficacy of current antibiotics is gone, cancer may fall down the ladder in terms of being a main cause of death...

Now you can send embarrassing typos with complete wrong words instead of just mistyped characters?
Seriously though, I thought that autocorrect was bad, but swype seems to have a real twisted sense of humor.
Why not just use salt?
