There's a timestamp tool, name of which I can't remember, which sets all your files to random timestamps. Run that once on the to-be-found partition, and then cron it on your unencrypted data, and you won't have to touch the fake partition again
Not arguing for piracy. Arguing against the fallacy that being able to afford the phone plan equates to being able to afford all its bells and whistles.
It's a time investment. Depending on where you work, $50 may be 5 minutes, or it may be 5 hours. Don't know about you, but most of the people I know consider time in vs time out when valuing things. Then again, most of the people I know have an idea what 'ls' does.
Some apps are quite expensive. The sling player on android is $30, not *that* bad, and a garmin app for over $100. But, if you're unlucky enough to have an iProduct, there's a $1000 bar exam study guide. You also have to consider the return on investment. A $50 stick of ram will last you years. A $20 android game? A few days, maybe.
How do you get something to run at boot on Gentoo? On Redhat? On Ubuntu? Hint: it varies widely with distro. The combination of startup scripts, configuration files, home directories, and even binaries leaves your trojan hunting for all these things. Combined with the fact different distros have different libs, means if the distro doesn't have the exact libs needed, the trojan won't run in the first place.
As someone who has written primarily C for the last 12 years, I find networking to be the easiest part of a program. Dealing with the unknowns (rc.d? init.d? rc.local?/home?/usr/home?/etc?/usr/local/etc?/etc/conf.d?/opt/bin?/usr/local/bin? kde 3? kde 4? xfce? fluxbox? etc) is infinitely more difficult.
Most recent attacks have been via stupid users, not buggy OS. The reason Linux hasn't been targeted is threefold: 1) next to nobody uses it, thus a waste of effort to write malware for it; 2) its users aren't retarded; 3) each distro is completely different, unlike different Windows versions.
With Cisco, you'll be on hold for 3 hours, until you read off your product serial number. Then they tell you you've reached EOL for the product in question, and offer to sell you an identical product whose only difference is the product number, at a vastly increased price. However, they won't tell you what the price is until you sign an NDA, because the gouge each customer differently.
They do this with pretty much every company they buy. Psionic and Riverhead come to mind quickly for me. The only reason they kept the Linksys brand was because they had no competing product at the time.
The real world is most users of MySQL don't care a damn about any of those. They care about which is easiest and cheapest to implement. So called MySQL experts are a dime a dozen. When you search Google for database software, you see MySQL on the first page of results, not Postgre, not MSSQL/SQL Server, and not Oracle. Lastly, other than standards zealots, who demands ACID compliance? In the real world, quality is often an afterthought.
I believe DLC is twofold. First, it means they can sell nearly empty games at full retail, and then charge you for "expansions" which just result in a full proper game (I'm looking at you Guitar Hero). Second, it means the game has virtually no resale value. It essentially guarantees a steady flow of income since you don't have to put any effort into a release product, and nobody will purchase said release product used. It's quite a clever con job, and it's legal and risk free. Cosa Nostra would be proud.
What makes you so sure he wasn't a victim of spam or the like? In the US, you have to show that the person knowingly and willingly sought out to download the images. If there's just 3, that's gonna be impossible to prove. If there's half a billion, then intent is easy to show. This was recently changed because people were spamming the hell out of other people with sick porn to try and get them in trouble. Distribution, on the other hand, ignores intent completely.
MySQL does support multi master replication, and it even has auto increment offsets. Not sure if older versions support point in time recovery, but with periodic backups (peh), replication, and query logging, you can achieve the goal quite easily.
Putting a proxy between the client and the server to handle the replication does not make Postgre horizontally scalable. Nor does doing a periodic table dump and copying it to the other machines. Postgre might be a ton more efficient than MySQL, but it is in no way scalable.
Google doesn't delete stuff as a result of a DMCA notice. They block access to it. Send a DMCA counterclaim, and Google will put your blog back up in a week or less.
"The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all."
Now, I know it isn't "laws" per se, but it still applies. Censorship has to stop when it starts, not when it finally effects you.
Don't forget that there's also laws on the books outlawing unauthorized uploads of copyrighted materials, illicit consumption of controlled substances, and not paying the man his cut. These too are only enforced when it benefits the politicians in charge at the time. In the last 10 years, I've lived in 4 different apartments, and have been asked for my SSN once. I said no, the landlord effectively said ok, and I still got the place.
Different guy, but I did some research. Closest is this: http://www.socialsecurity.gov/history/ssn/ssnchron.html "To make, under federal law, unlawful disclosure or compelling disclosure of the SSN of any person a felony, punishable by fine and/or imprisonment."
The glorious thing about this is that you do not need to provide an SSN to get a cell phone, or a utility service, or even a car. You can do all 3 of those with your ID, or even a letter from a utility service (credit reference letter). You are required by law to give your SSN for a line of credit or other account at a financial institution. Getting cell service is not a line of credit from a financial institution. You are required to give it to your employer. I'm pretty sure this guy isn't applying for a job at Sprint. If a company cannot do a credit check on you without your SSN, there's either some incompetence or maliciousness going on. Outside of employers and one bank, I've not had to give my SSN to anyone in the last ten years, and I've had plenty of cell phones, various utilities, and insurance companies.

This is where CALEA comes into play.

A good DBA knows to back up his database via replication, not daily dumps.
Putting a proxy between the client and the server to handle the replication does not make Postgre horizontally scalable. Nor does doing a periodic table dump and copying it to the other machines. Postgre might be a ton more efficient than MySQL, but it is in no way scalable.
Good point. Let's start with just New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Seattle, Philadelphia, Miami, Baltimore, and DC.

It's kinda like how Techcrunch keeps posting BS articles about Last.fm, and then censoring the comments about it. Top journalism there.
If Google handles all the keys for Gmail, how is that any different than something much simpler, say, something like DomainKeys/DKIM?
They also don't discriminate against students watching the protest from their dorm hallway who aren't involved in it in any away.
