You can actually get this to work with VMWare's free (as in beer) ESXi. I have played with it on laptops. You can assign the memory addresses of the graphics controller to one VM. I never solved the keyboard issue directly, had to plug in a USB keyboard. You also lose all access to the console itself, (not that you need any once things are setup).
Naturally there is no way to toggle between VMs either so you will have to use the management tools from the machine you have the video assigned to create additional VMs and then interact with them over the virtual network.
I wan't to try this with Zen now that it has dom0 support. It would be slick as hell to have physical access to one VM while having as many more instances of machines I as I like.
Great plan, would be crooks can get a complete inventory of my home electronics, just by doing a zone transfer. This will make burglary sooo much more efficient.
He may not be an asset anymore but he certainly can be a liability for a nation with an all volunteer army. I know allot of people join up, because they know that they will be treated for the most part pretty well. They get to retire young with a good pension rather than the crappy 401k (which can turn out to be worth nothing potentially) the reset of us get. I really think the military knows its not in their interest to screw over ex-soldiers en-mass.
I realize that there are many cases where people are not treated so well, but that is actually not norm its just what the news reports.
leaving my front door unlocked doesn't give anyone the right to enter my house
Perhaps not but at least here in the states the law recognizes that its less bad if someone does. If you leave your door unlocked and someone just decides to have a look around your place, but does not take or damage anything, they won't be in much trouble. They would be charged with trespassing which is much less serious than breaking and entering. Personally I think that is a correct distinction to make.
Also when you make these comparisons to the physical world understand why the laws were created in the first place. Consider that burglary traditionally is defined to have to take place at night, while during the day the acts would be breaking and entering, at least at common law. Again burglary is more serious because of peoples expectations of feeling safe in their homes at night and the value that provides society. The issue with trespassing is that it would be a irritating to have people coming uninvited into your home. Breaking and entering, and burglary go to your feeling of safety.
So if we are going to equate hacking your voice mail, or your e-mail with someone entering your home than we have to accept that people have the same expectation of safety with these things and I don't think many do.
Are they pissed at the Sun? Perhaps they are just doing it for you know the Lulz? or because given all the flap about this they think it would be funny?
Personally I don't have a problem with Lulz or Newscorps phone hacking. Obtaining and publishing information is what News agencies you know do. I think the bigger problem with our society is people record to much, and are careless about how they protect and dispose of it.
The phone hackers destroyed no property, deprived no owners of any of its use. I don't think there is any real harm here. As far the policing thinking that little girl might still have been alive, come on if she was dialing into her voice mail they should be all over the phone records to find out where from, the real story there is BAD POLICE work. Information wants to be free any secret you keep you have to work against entropy to keep that information concentrated with you otherwise it will diffuse. If you don't put energy into doing that then it will diffuse. IMHO its not News of the Worlds fault people selected weak voice mail PINs, its their fault.
Perhaps if you had a less aggressively pitched roof you would not have such a large volume under roof to heart in proportion to the living space and your bills would be lower.
I am not a Clinton fan but he is probably correct on this one, at least in the context of the continental United States, and lets leave room for a few exceptions like our very arid South West region.
Suppose you live in Cleveland, Augusta, Boston, New York, Billings, Minneapolis, Louisville, Seattle, or some such place. Now lets assume you are right and your heating costs generally exceed your cooling costs. You might think a dark colored roof's absorption of solar radiation in the winter would be of more value than a white roofs reflection of it in the summer would be. Well yes, but in the summer your roof is exposed, but in the winter is probably covered with bright white snow anyway, so what color it is makes little difference.
Yes many people do shovel their roofs in the snowier climates, but few scrape them clean enough they are not for the most part white, all winter long.
This guy is suggesting that Federal Procurement isn't a process of objective evaluation where the best(as in most appropriate to requirements) products, services, and vendors are selected? What you say its system or rigged bids? You mean evaluation criteria is not select to best represent operational goals but instead to ensure a preferred vendor gets the contract? Wow crazy, never would guess that from casual observation of the past 40+ years of US history....
I am so glad we hire these qualified public servants with their first rate insight to warn us of these dangers.
1. That would would for like a week until someone id10t in CONgress decides ISPs simply have to redirect all tcp/53 or udp/53 traffic to a compliant DNS server. which will of course give rise to plenty of shareware/donationware DNS proxy applications that let you point your system nss library resolver at localhost, and then that app turns around runs DNS on some other port, perhaps even with an SSL layer to thwart packet inspection.
2. The other issue is DNSSec. I don't don't agree with the TFA that this prevents ppl from using DNSSEC. DNSSEC is record level authenticity and integrity. Its not system level. If I am molesting your DNS in a DNSSEC world, I can't tell you www.google.com points to 64.220.36.5, without your being able to see the signature is not correct. If I send you SERVFAIL though even if you can't easily distinguish that from adulterated record with most software in use. Even when you can what do about it? Your local resolve should say SERVFAIL when the DNSSEC record is invalid, application stops, my DNS server refuses to tell you the address application stops, sure you might know better and know that names out there but what can do about it? Return to part 1?
I don't buy this argument engineers can't run a business. I have never met an engineer who disagrees with the mantra "measure don't guess", and few who would not try to apply it to the business side.
Engineers are perfectly suited to understanding costs, risks, sales figures, inventory turns; and determining how to optimize those things. There is NO REASON someone from the engineering/technical side of the business can't run the business. Now when it comes to the actual selling, marketing, negotiating, yes they should hire people with the soft skills to to those things effectively. Those people don't need to be setting the agenda though.
I keep having this discussion with people again and again.
It does not matter what social, organizational, or legal controls your put in place - It does not what technical controls, acls, encryption, strong identity validation, etc you put in place -
At some point any information stored will be either abused to facilitate some originally unintended purpose or will be leaked and subsequently abused or published by another party.
-The take home needs to be "think before you store" and we need to tell our politicians that data retention rules need to consider risk of abuse as part of the cost and that as a society we might not want take those risks even if they solve immediate problems today.
Its not because they are trying to fool you into thinking you are talking with an American. The issue is lots of those names are really really hard to pronounce for native English speakers who have no experience with Hindi.
I have worked very close with lots of India developers, the ones who actually come here tend to American-ize their names rather than pick a new one like John. Punjababriu becomes Prabu for instance. The later I can say correctly the former it took him helping me many times to learn to say correctly. You know I felt really bad about it too. Nobody likes it when you get their name wrong. Most of us don't want to go around hurting the feelings of or insulting others; or suspecting that we might be. In this case he knew it was not a respect thing and that I was trying really hard to learn to correctly say his name, but still.
Really these call center folks are doing you a kindness by sparing you the embarrassment of having to try and repeat a name that is going to be hard for your say.
---The computer can look at the U.S. budget deficit, and come up with a balanced budget that will make most citizens reasonably happy, or figure out how to structure a health care bill that will provide every one with excellent care at an affordable price. You might think that the failure of the U.S. government to do so means that nobody can, but that is a failure of politics, not intelligence.
I doubt it a computer could do a good job at maxing the desired out puts and minimizing the required inputs. Humans have a different sense of fairness though and how we subjectively feel about it has a lot to do with how happy with it we are.
---When a computer can come into contact with a piece of art (photo, literature, comic), understand it, and have it mean something that the computer can learn from, and then examine something else, and apply the lessons learned to this new thing, and sort among many different things its learned to figure out which ones are most similar.
Again I am not so sure a computer will be able to respond our art they way we do. I am not sure another intelligent biologic organism, say from space, could either. Its our art, and it reflects on some basic levels experience we all share. A computer won't see an image with same analog input devices we humans use, When it reads our writing it won't be able to know what it feels like to draw breath with human lungs. Will it be able to pick out facts and chronology sure. Might a computer have an idea of what its like to watch the sun rise someday? Very possibly but it will be a very different idea than the one you an I have.
I don't think its BBQ specifically so much as cooking in general. Cooking is actually a technical process after all and learning it offers a nice effort / reward pattern that tends draw people in.
Chemistry and Physics play a large part in cooking. There is tons of opportunity to experiment and solve problems around maintain conditions and generating reactions and effects you want. Its pretty much the things geeks like doing most and after that the reward comes in that you get it eat it!
Food is probably the most basic driver and behavior enforce in minds so cooks a notice positive feeback echo chamber
Nah you just unload them and leaving them still strapped to the carts until they sober up. Half of them won't really even remember the "trip" so to speak.
If you also restrained the passengers you might not need to sedate them exactly. You just need to drug enough that they can't execute any sort plan. There are drugs that could be safely used to do this.
We could srap the passengers down real good to some sort of wheeled dolly like device while in the terminal, pump them full of LSD and then just load'em on the planes like cargo.
You can't do much serious harm with it. It binds chemically to parts of the brain and once those sites our full up more of the drug floating around has little effect. So you can get the dosage grossly wrong and still incapacitate people for a long period of time without exposing them to much risk of overdose.
I don't think I would like that very much at all. Which is why I should be able to ask my doctor to shred my medical file, or at least portions of it. Does that mean treatment may not be as effective in the future yes. I not anyone else though should get to chose how to weigh the risk it leaks against the value of storing it.
I think personally in most aspects of life right now we grossly over value keeping records and grossly underestimate the risks of leaks and the costs of fallout from them.
I am in favor of the release of ALL hacked data. Even when it my hurt people, even when it may put lives at risk. All in all I think all the secrecy, and covert action makes us weaker not stronger. It creates more division and strife in the world not less; why? because it always comes out eventually; even if it takes decades.
When I was very young my mother gave me a simple bit of advice. See said if you want to be sure nobody every reads something, don't write it down.
Wow simple eh? much simpler than encryption schemes, dealing with vetting 10s of thousands of people to receive secret clearance, etc. NATO higher ups need to speak to each other pick up the damned phone and don't make recordings of the call. Data that is not there can't leak.
People should take this to their personal lives as well. The average teenager would probably be lots happier if they themselves as well as their school mates put a little consideration in what words they commit to paper, or Facebook. Conversations between a few people will be forgotten, everything else tends to get distributed more widely or to resurface and cause more grief at the wrong times.
Yes in 2011 we can record everything, we can store a life stream for every person large with or without their cooperation, but WE SHOULD NOT WANT TO DO THAT.
Sounds like the argument someone who is being well served by the current hierarchy would make; actually it sounds down right like the Neo-Communist Chinese government.
As a parent poster pointed out if you don't hold their is a higher power than man, then you have only two real choices. Everyman is completely sovereign unless and until he can be conquered and subjugated by others. You have anarchy. The other option is really to hold that because there is no higher power than man the collective judgment of men is enough, which gets you your argument any society where a majority derive benifet is perfectly ethical. There is nothing standing in the way to returning to the institution of Slavery for instance.
Before anyone gets cute and points out gee lots of our supposedly Christian founding fathers held slaves blah blah. Yes ok your right, to a point but many of them expected that the institution would not last. Sure enough it did not.
I don't know about that. Facebook owes I think much of its early success to its at the time exclusivity. First it was just Harvard, then it was Harvard and some other top teir schools. People joined because it was people they already knew personally and trusted or people that had already been vetted by the administrations board of an institution they have some degree of trust in, who they would be encountering as other users of the service.
Then Facebook expanded to pretty much any College, which still restricted its users to a particular social economic group for the most part. They exploited the comfort level of that trust. Then after the users were path dependent of FB they violated that trust and through the doors open to all. I never would have created an account if FB had been like it is today when I signed up.

where will you get a tape drive from in an emergency
That is certainly something you should have address in your disaster recovery plan, but I would not characterize it as a hard problem to solve.

I hate to say it but if it does not take much for the snow to clear off your roof you probably should insulate it better.
Perhaps if you had a less aggressively pitched roof you would not have such a large volume under roof to heart in proportion to the living space and your bills would be lower.
Possibly if the tarp is completely opaque, otherwise the filtered light and trapped moister will probably make the moss worse.
