Yeah well you can do it offline, or you can probably cross your fingers and hope to survive a transient ENOSPC condition. It happens to desktop users all the time, accidentally.
All you need to do is write gibberish to a file until the device is full then unlink the file, and do that repeatedly until your paranoia is satisfied.
I don't have a link. Flash is the basis of the Sonos Controller, which has a Super-H CPU. SPARC Flash Player can be downloaded from Adobe's own website. ARM Flash Player comes installed on the Nokia N800.
I assume these happy renters are laughing their asses off now that high-horse jerkoffs like you are losing their shirts on real estate.
The fact that people live in apartments does not reflect poorly on their ability to manage their finances. Indeed, in this asset deflation climate they appear to be geniuses on the level of Warren Buffett.
I don't see it that way. The iPhone is extremely cheap in terms of up-front cost when compared to a laptop computer, and for many people it serves the same purpose, perhaps even better than a laptop would. If you compare the price of the phone data plan with the price of a land line and internet service, the AT&T iPhone is competitive. When you view it as an alternative to a laptop for a household that doesn't have a computer, it makes sense.
It makes even more sense if you think about a small business. Maybe the business already has a desktop PC for keeping the accounts and whatnot, but if the business owner has to travel to make sales, or do other fieldwork, an iPhone can make a lot more sense than a laptop if the needed functions are mostly email, address book, wayfinding, and so forth. Considering that the business traveler is going to need a mobile phone anyway, the iPhone comes out way ahead in total cost of ownership.
When you think of small business in this context think of a landscaping business, roof contractor, tow truck driver, or something like that. Not all people with low incomes are shiftless buffoons sipping from a 40oz of Mickeys on the stoop of their public housing project. Most of them are ordinary working people and many of them are trying to run their own businesses.
I don't really need a link, because I saw the jet and met the pilot at Mojave airport. Of course, the fighter is unarmed. It's just a stupid rich guy's toy.
Technically it doesn't work by balancing the load, it works by UNbalancing the load. You get the best bang per watt by making all of your servers run at 100% maximum power and turning the rest off. As service quality begins to degrade on the maximally loaded node, you turn on additional machines until they too are overloaded. Repeat until all your servers are powered on.
Actually, "other Microsoft guy" Paul Allen has been flying around escorted by an Alpha fighter for years. So maybe Larry Page and Paul Allen can have their personal air forces get into a dogfight over Mojave while they watch the action from their loitering 767s.
Any chump can transfer money out of any bank account with nothing but a fax. Try it some time. People don't do it because it's a felony and people generally don't want to go to prison.
Also, there were several CSRF attacks that came across Bugtraq in 2000 and 2001. Some of them were against banks.
Firefox 3.1 (pre-release) uses less memory than Firefox 3, which uses less memory than Firefox 2. Compiled javascript takes a tiny fraction of the total memory used by a web browser. The vast majority is uncompressed bitmaps and string fragments.
Was going to, but according to my salesman they reconstituted the development team because so many Bridge users complained about having to switch. He could be talking out of his ass, of course.
Thomson Reuters has a version of the BridgeFeed Toolkit (acquired by Thomson via Bridge, and then Reuters) in both C++ and Java APIs that works on Linux. The feed provides live quotes, historical data, and wire news, as well as cross-references and ticker lookup. It's not F/OSS, but it runs there. The product is very expensive.
The Bloomberg system incorporates the Gecko rendering engine from Mozilla. That's only barely topical but I thought I'd mention it anyway. Bloomberg is also extremely expensive.
At the end of a disk's life, it is usually 3-5 years old, during which time the sensitivity of the pickup and the magic of the DSP have doubled more than once. So your attacker takes your discarded disk and installs the platters in a modern mechanism, enabling him to read, with his much more sensitive equipment, magnetic fields that the original mechanism was unable to detect.
HAHA good one. California has been outpacing USA GDP growth for years, with 4.4% annual growth for the last several years. You may have heard of some of our famous companies like Apple, Google, HP, Oracle. I could go on, but what's the point? People like you are immune to facts and logic. One of my favorite moments of 2008 was seeing Phil Gramm on television remarking how the USA should adopt the fiscal policies of Texas, because Texas was the shining light of economic progress. Well, I decided to check on it and it turns out that Texas has had lower per-capita real GDP than the national average every year since 2002, *and* that Texas presently has the highest tax burden ever experienced in that state. California on the other had has been experiencing rapid expansion, has per-capita GDP well above the national average, and has a shrinking real tax burden. Those of you who think of California as some kind of backwards socialist paradise need to check your facts.
Do the batteries in your laptop last for years? I think I replaced the batteries in my HP48G twice during my entire undergraduate career. You can take an HP calculator out into the field on a data-collecting expedition for days or weeks on end without worrying about the charge. And whereas I've worn out the keyboards on a number of laptops over the years, the keys on my 15-year-old HP calculator still work perfectly. There's still a lot to be said in favor of special-purpose hardware.
Yeah I found it funny that the lamers in the write-up think the Pentagon is protected by Medeco locks. Sorry, no. The Pentagon is protected by men with rifles and grenades.
I don't care what label they put on it: it's still unsafe native code garbage. You will note from the exploit and discussion that the problem lies in mod_wl.
Reporting to the vendor is pretty much useless. They will stonewall you and then, for something as big and inertial as Oracle, the patch will come out five years later. It's much more important, and, to me, much more aligned with sound ethical principles to report the problem immediately and directly to the public. By doing so you give the users and administrators a fair chance to quantify the risks of using the product, and to try to offset those risks with countermeasures.
If you just report it to Oracle, they'll bottle it up. All those chumps paying a million dollars a year for Platinum Support 5000 Ultra will not get to hear about it until the fix is in, five years later.
The fact that Oracle has tens of thousands of employees points to the fact that Oracle does, in fact, offer a substantial cash incentive for finding bugs like these. The problem is not the money, the problem is the architecture. As long as things like Oracle are written in a massive jumble of C and other low-level, unsafe languages, they will be crawling with bugs. All the money in the world isn't going to get you to a state of zero remotely exploitable flaws.

There is Flash Player on SPARC, on Super-H, and on ARM. So basically your entire argument is wrong.

Not to mention that satellite ephemeris have been a working feature of XEphem for 15 years.
And yet, the economy of California is still expanding relative to the rest of the country. What does that tell us?

You must have an iPhone. On every other platform (Windows Mobile, Palm, S60, and BlackBerry) you can easily write and deploy your own code.

Suspending the disk by rubber bands will also ruin the performance, unless you have a high-end disk with rotary acceleration compensation.
