Probably talking about WDS/MDT/SCCM for managing and deploying Windows systems in bulk. The process for capturing a baseline for a pre-updated, pre-device-drivered, pre-configured image of Windows 7 and up is...painful, to say the least. And that's just on Windows 7 - Windows 8 introduced Audit Mode and deprecated the tools used by Windows 7 just when people were getting used to them since DISM and fighting with integrating updates in a way that doesn't see a reboot-mandating update breaking the whole chain is one headache after another. Then there's the convoluted amalgamation of tools in the server-side deployment suite like Windows Deployment Server, Microsoft Deployment Toolkit, System Image Manager, and System Center Configuration Manager.
Yes, it can be learned and understood. But for a lot of organizations' understaffed IT departments, it's a VERY daunting mountain to climb when there are other things to worry about and so a lot of admins end up either installing and configuring individual systems one at a time the old fashioned way, or turning to third-party tools to fill in the gaps.
They're already starting to do this via their long-standing Intel partnership. Kaby Lake (and newer) processors are only officially supported on Windows 10.
The obvious difference is that SMB was a game, run solely for entertainment purposes and which has no impact on your daily life or productivity. We play games with the understanding that we're engaging in interaction with the software under a particular set of rules for the purpose of creating a challenging experience.
A computer is a tool and the OS is part of its utility. An OS that imposes artificial limitations on what the user can do is akin to a tool dictating how its wielder can use it. People using a computer are generally not interested in a constant game-like experience with arbitrary rules and limitations. If they want that, they can install a game on the computer and run it to get that fix.
They are desperate for you to believe that you can't legally leave, but there are many stories of people doing exactly that. TSA knows that they don't have the authority to prevent you from leaving - that's why they threaten an $11,000 lawsuit that they try very hard to present as a "fine". Puffed-up screening clerks have told travelers "We WILL be bringing that lawsuit" and nothing has happened.
The only authority they have is to prohibit people from entering the terminal. They can try to get airport police involved, but airport cops don't always uphold TSA's narrative that you can't leave.
You shouldn't. "NAS" drives, at least as they come from WD, are just Greens with TLER so they don't drop out of RAID. If you're not RAIDing, or if you're doing software RAID with MDADM or ZFS, shouldn't matter what you use. Even with hardware RAID, it really only matters if you're doing parity RAID. 1 or 10 won't care.
With volume like that, you might want to consider moving to RAID 6 or even RAID 10, though the latter would require you to purchase more HDDs. RAID5 isn't really reliable at those capacities.
Right there with you, but that isn't the kind of drug testing TFA is talking about. This is referring to "clinical trial" tests as part of the approval process for new-to-market pharmaceuticals.
Adblock Edge works on a case-by-case basis, with Element Hiding Helper's aid in suppressing the whole-page darkening overlay, but I haven't found a reliable filter formula to work universally across sites. The other problem is that some sites make legitimate use of modal elements for "lightbox" photo viewers (though it seems to me that links to.jpg files would work just fine) or even login dialogs in the case of Spiceworks, and so a universal blocking expression would have to allow for these. It could perhaps be coded like popup blockers to detect user-requested overlays but there would be some wailing and gnashing of teeth before it was perfected. I recently resorted to the low-tech solution, which was sending a scathing E-mail to the customer-relations department of a site I was browsing (GelPro kitchen floor mats) stating that their modal overlay lost them my business. And yes, I did follow through by buying from their competitor. Not sure if I'm vindictive enough to scan and E-mail them the receipt, though part of me says it's the only logical way to conclude the interaction.
I think what a lot of people want to know is whether 7.1a is still reliable and, if not, how many versions back one must go to get a release that's still feature-complete but not questionable in security.
In the meantime, if you need to encrypt a file, you can use GPG and Cryptophane if you want a GUI. Nowhere near as elegant as TC but it should get the job done.
But TrueCrypt doesn't have master keys as I understand it. It's not like Dropbox. There's nothing an NSL (plague be upon whoever got the idea to legalize that) could discover that would do NSA/DHS/USA any good.
A FOSS project shutters itself and, rather than linking to a fork or posting tarballs of a few versions' worth of source, recommends commercial alternatives? If this isn't a hacked site then I'm thinking Lavabit - someone pressured someone else and in order to spill without spilling, they made the most absurd possible kind of announcement that they were closing.
This is it, right here. Mod parent up. If we have no other question answered in this discussion, I'd be fine with it as long as we get an answer to this.
Scope-n-grope is the most disgusting betrayal a government agency has perpetrated against the American people in recent memory (I consider it worse than the Snowden revelations). There is no excuse for what is being done to innocent air travelers and it is unconscionable that I would have no guarantee of being free from unwanted forced physical contact with government clerks (remember, they're not officers of anything) if I were to go to an airport with the intention of boarding a plane.
How can we guarantee that we will not be touched? Going through a nude-o-scope isn't enough, as they've been shown to alarm on sweat or rumpled clothing. Medical exemptions aren't enough as there's the risk of a TSA clerk overstepping their (barely existent) authority and demanding a grope anyway. Pre-(CHECK! LOOK AT HOW CUTE OUR TRADEMARK IS!) isn't enough as the T&C explicitly state that nobody is guaranteed expedited screening.
I'm happy to keep giving Amtrak my money - I don't care about speed and the experience is much nicer. However, I can't ignore principle. A US citizen should have the right to be free from unreasonable searches, and even if one does have to clear some kind of Checkpoint Charlie at airports, they absolutely must have the right not to be touched against their will.
I've heard of the practice of "hand swabbing" - randomly selecting passengers to have a cotton swab coated in some chemical run over their hands and tested for explosive residue. I do NOT consent to any contact with my skin (or any physical contact from strangers at all, excepting lifesaving medical procedures) - how would I go about refusing this and what would happen afterward?
Note that this question is academic - I refuse to set foot in airports and have done since the introduction of the Reign of Molestation in 2010, and will continue to do so until the RoM is stopped and (hopefully) John Pistole is sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole, the entirety of his sentence to be spent in solitary confinement with the cell door permanently welded shut.
As best I'm able to tell, there is no answer. I stopped flying 3 years ago (well, more now - October 2010) when they started with their policy of sexual assault because I realized that there is no way to guarantee I won't be touched. Strangers do not have my permission to place their hands on me for any reason, ever, and it was clear that there was a long list of secret reasons why these pig-thugs would take it upon themselves to force physical contact on a traveler. I've been taking Amtrak for all my long-distance trips (except for one in which my wife and I drove) and not only are there no security checkpoints (DHS poisonous-snake teams notwithstanding but I haven't run across those scum myself), the onboard experience is vastly superior to that of a plane. Definitely worth the tradeoff in speed.
This is the reason I (grudgingly) have a Facebook account. I'd have loved to refuse to ever sign up, but the only way to control other people's tagging of me was to have an account so I could forcibly remove the tags.
On my car (2008 Subaru Legacy 2.5i SE, USDM) it actually does. There's a keyhole by the trunk-release lever that can be toggled with the "master" key but not the valet key. It will lock out the lever and prevent the trunk from being opened.
There are keyholes by the rear-seatback-release buttons as well to prevent access to the trunk via folding the rear seats down.

MusicBrainz Picard is what you're looking for if you need to identify unknown audio files on your PC.

Which, of course, is exactly the problem.

But if we're talking mortar LAUNCHERS and pistols, well, I think he's done that once or twice. ;)

MDM software can do it and that's not provided by the device manufacturer - why not a countdown app?
Why'd they change it?
I just got to LV36 in RealLife,
In about 390 years you're going to have a really bad time.

How do we effect this?
I've heard of the practice of "hand swabbing" - randomly selecting passengers to have a cotton swab coated in some chemical run over their hands and tested for explosive residue. I do NOT consent to any contact with my skin (or any physical contact from strangers at all, excepting lifesaving medical procedures) - how would I go about refusing this and what would happen afterward?

What happens if I flat-out refuse this? I'm already in the (not-actually-)"sterile"(-at-all) area, what can they do?
As best I'm able to tell, there is no answer. I stopped flying 3 years ago (well, more now - October 2010) when they started with their policy of sexual assault because I realized that there is no way to guarantee I won't be touched.

Definitely worth the tradeoff in speed.
The only winning move is not to play.
This is the reason I (grudgingly) have a Facebook account. I'd have loved to refuse to ever sign up, but the only way to control other people's tagging of me was to have an account so I could forcibly remove the tags.
The twist: He's already kidnapped yours, too.
It helps for Beowulf clusters to be involved as well.
