...Newt would find himself arrested, having clicked the link to review his lost package or overdue library book, etc. If you don't understand the Internet then you shouldn't opine on how it should be regulated.
One watering hole attack later, the entire populace of United States would be under indictment. Think FaceBook injection...
Make a watermark file, then use winzip/7zip/winrar to compress that file with a very long passphrase like "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy cats," then concatenate your watermark file to the end of your document file using the command line:
copy realdoc.pdf+watermark.7z watermarkdoc.pdf
The document should still open, but it will now be tagged with your watermark. I see this on pictures all the time (people steal pictures, frequently).
Nobody operates directly anymore. So anything that looks Chinese is likely just a bonnet node rented out by one criminal to another... And any code operated, even if compiled in Chinese, is likely outsourced or borrowed.
The cost of this is broader than the affected users. Almost every person that the affected people had ever emailed got sent a bad email with a link to an exploit kit.
We all need to do better with passwords from storing them to using them more than once. I'd like a SSO-like two factor authentication where each person can pick both parties. That would get more players out of the password storing game, but we would be centralizing our risk. And not everyone can afford a randomized idea like SecurID on one side... And 2 independent players can't verify that you didn't foolishly use the same password with each. So, I'm still looking for better ideas, but I would be immediately happier w/ more options and fewer lawsuits.
I've done things as simple as opening the top of the drive and it started working again. This isn't a long-term fix, but it seems to confirm that the drive was just a little tweaked. I'm guessing that the freezer trick has a similar effect of shifting things, just a little.
Replacing a circuit board is pretty far out as I bet each drive has an individual defect map, so it would likely have random problems after. I've seen this done, with success, but I wouldn't bother.
If it matters a lot, get somebody professional to help. If you can live with total loss, I'd sure pop the top again... just long enough to transfer the data.
This is really a fill-in-the-blank story. You could easily drop in "malware" or "criminals" or the "evil" empire of your choice and that would easily reboot this conversation. Tor is going to protect whoever uses it.
I agree with this. My experience is that the quality and support are much higher and you get opportunities like built-in docking station ports, flexibility, such as multiple hard drives (I have four), and easy-to-upgrade parts. My battery is also top-notch quality so even after years of use it holds a good charge. Never had a better experience.
This is not quite the same, since you CAN change the passwords on an iLo/riLo or DRAC... the problem is that most people forget or don't. So you thought remote root was unavailable until that dictionary attack is remotely performed against a local console.
...the cars are so efficient, they don't make much heat. So if you live in the North, your car heater may not ever heat up your car, since it uses non-existent engine heat. The AC works much better.
Also, in snow, most of these very-low-riding vehicles bottom-out on almost no snow as they are lowered to reduce drag.
Mountain driving isn't too sweet either... nothing like hearing the gerbils scream as you go up an incline and watching your battery go dead halfway up a mountain (then you have half an engine).
Now mine is very old, so maybe the idea has gotten much better...
They were debating should they spend $10,000 to have a child repeat the 3rd grade because they can't read at grade level OR pass them on to 4th grade and spend $10,000 on tutoring for two years. So flunk a child, and punish the child with shame OR pass the child, and punish the child with an unrealistic sense of accomplishment. Both ideas punish the taxpayer. If a child cannot read by that age, in my very humble opinion, we should be looking to punish the parent.
Education begins at home. That is where it needs to be fixed. A child is like an investment: if you invest nothing you should expect to get nothing.
If this debate is about developing a recipe for success, let's try to stay away from the topics of public education and unions and focus on those recipes. My recipe includes having lots of books and spending lots of time reading them to my children.
They had a more nuanced idea, the ability to take a scientific formula scribbled somewhere and understand/translate it, but essentially it was the same. They basically substituted f of x for a bicycle.
...the benefit of mortality is that bad people always die. No matter how much power one sociopath picks up, we only have to tolerate them for a century. Let's not ruin a good thing by "fixing" that.
...and you just need to eat it. Good things don't go unnoticed, though. It is these sorts of experiences that will separate you from the pack, later in your career. It will pay forward, one way or another.
If you want to get paid, negotiate time at work to perform these tasks or don't do them.
There are side-effects: once you make an app, you will be expected to support it forever... and likely you won't get any time to do that, either. I would make part of the agreement to hand over the code is that you will not support it.
I made this very same point the last time this was "news": we seem to be upset that they are using a product to do exactly what it was designed for. This is like being upset that guns can be used to shoot things or poison being used to kill things.
I'd like some tools help with the generic of bad ideas like:
deletes with no where
usage of with grant option on objects
grants of public to individual objects
inserts of text into numeric fields (where we started)
lots of joins without lots of index usage
I always find that programming helps explain the math. Instead of taking someone's word for it, you can just derive what they say. If we all grew up this way, learning math and using programming to illustrate the result, this wouldn't even be a conversation. We would arrive at university with the theory under our belt, and we would have the skills to expand it if desired or focus on the application of what we already know.
Maybe Microsoft can help with a simple change to all their browsers: before an add-on is engaged, have an "are you sure" window. Or add an always off management option for snap-ins with related management utilities. Even better, like drivers, maintain awareness of major add-ins and what is ok, then go to always off on any version with a known exploit.
More impressive would be to simply be aware of the exploit. Simple: look for Java, or any other add-in, downloading something that either has an executable magic byte or a magic byte mismatch to file extension or a broken magic byte.

I had exactly the same thought. Marshall Brain's dystopia. But his utopia solves this problem... unless it takes an "I, Robot" turn for the worse.

OMG! They might use CISCO FIREWALLS, TOO! CISCO is the DEVIL!
This comment right here should seriously end this conversation.

This is what I'm thinking: where is yours now? Mine, too, is sold. It reminded me of most of my textbooks. I would rather have the idea easily added to Excel, so that it might be useful not just at school, but maybe at work. Something along these lines: http://www.tushar-mehta.com/excel/software/utilities/iga.html My other thought aligns to this: http://www.despair.com/tradition.html
