One way to reduce this threat is to implement ACLs, only allowing traffic back to the Home Office public IP addresses. But that only defends against basic DDOS attacks. The type of hardware/software that you would need to thoroughly protect the site is prohibitively expensive.
Starting at $250 and supports IPsec tunnels back to the home office with nothing accessible to the outside. Not expensive at all. But neither is change a password and they did not even do that.
I would. My car would ping and knock until the sensor dialled down enough that my performance would suffer and my economy would go to crap. Seen it happen. And on my motorcycle, I would notice the other way as premium has less energy, and my low compression motorcycle runs poorly on it. Just because you wouldn't notice...
You mean like http://www.smallwall.org/ on any one of a half dozen other m0n0wall derived firewalls? Or DD-WRT? Of course since many of these people could not even be bothered to change the password, I think a firewall is pretty fucking unlikely.
For reasons I will not go into, I needed to Install Skype for Windows, and use a Webcam that works fine on ALL of my Linux systems. But after 30 minutes of trying, I could not find drivers for this Logitec camera that is detected automatically on Linux. I had a similar experience with some older scanners.
Nobody wants to deal with open sourcing drivers because you guys will never be happy. Something will always be wrong and cause complaints. And for what, the 0.00003% of their customers? As a business it doesn't make sense to devote time and resources to a project that only a handful of people will ever care about.
Big Linux user for years. Nvidia only since before AMD bought them. Always use the binary driver and am totally happy. I do not use Linux for religious reasons. I use it because it works better. The Nvidia binary driver works better.
So my "follow the money" joke, really should be this. IF the people in charge are asking for it, find and suggest a solution that can do it safely. If they are not willing to pay for your solution, find another, albeit less safe solution and present it with a list of assumed risks. Rinse and repeat until you have a solution they are willing to pay for with risks they are accepting, then do that.
They want easy, and cheap. That limits you slightly...
It especially is to anyone in the industrial Ethernet market. The selection is just crap! And for the prices they charge, that is amazing! But because there is so little choice, they just rape everyone that comes by.
But when you consider how much e-mail traffic itself has dropped, the spam drop is even more significant. I see more spam on FaceBook now then I do in e-mail.
They want to lock down standards and own the market. But the market will go to the standard with the most support, and open standards have a way of doing that better. That is how the PC won, even if IBM didn't. I am betting Google or Steam may end up the dominant player.
What resource limitations do solar and wind have? Does the sun ever stop shining forever or does wind stop blowing forever (outside of the obvious death of the star)? In principal, sun could be close to free, once that is true, we can recycle our current trash pretty much for 'free' and if we did, there is plenty of plastic and oil to go around for the upcoming centuries.
Because solar collectors and wind collectors are made of "stuff" and we have a finite amount of "stuff" to make them with. And that energy, once collected, is stored in some vary rare and expensive "stuff" too.
Sure there is solar, and wind, but they run up against some rather hard resource limitations.
Planet-based renewables, other than breeder reactors, are pretty iffy. Space-based solar (SPS) is very reliable, and doesn't suffer downtime from weather conditions, just like breeders.
Of course all of those things take extensive materials that we do not have an unlimited supply of. And Space Based Solar, if widely adopted, would increase the imported heat to the planet faster then fossil fuels.
Money is not a resource, it is a placeholder. I am talking about rare earth magnets, complex metals, and special carbon compounds. LiPo batteries are not made of money, you know...

It works on a real computer... :)

Ditto that entire post, many times!
You probable do not know what is in your smart phone at all. http://www.nvidia.com/object/t... http://www.nvidia.com/object/t... Nor should you when it just works.
I have been using them for over 10 years without a problem on dozens of systems with dozens of cards. Sounds like you may have some user issues.

Yeah why aren't they prioritizing that 1% Linux marketshare?
You mean 11%, right? Android is Linux, and Nvidia makes Android graphics chips. (And CPUs) ATI does not. Hmmm...
New "ATI" card... Nvidia and Intel graphics are well supported on Linux. (Which was the point of the article)
Really? http://www.theregister.co.uk/2...
Not really. If you look at the likelihood of being in surgery when the network goes down, or the surgeon gets hacked, it's pretty much negligible.
Not for that one unlucky guy... Someone will be there.
You obviously have not seen industrial switches. They make 2wire like like a paragon of security!
So the pointy haired boss can check the stats he does not understand with his smart phone to show other pointy haired bosses.

My only point was that his politics may have changed in the last 25 years...
I was wondering why he went there...
"If you're not a liberal when you're 25, you have no heart. If you're not a conservative by the time you're 35, you have no brain."
Perhaps we should see who he lampoons first...
It's still too much...
