Pretty sure the meteor information is actually just waste data. False positives that the military has to detect and catalog whether they are given out the information or not.
These sats are in geosynchronous orbit. In fact if the satellite launch detection system had a dark window where it wasn't getting coverage then it would be completely useless.
I saw a great segment on I think Discovery Channel about wolves vs dogs.
First, a piece of meat was tied to a length of rope and placed in a cage. Both the dog and the wolf ( on the outside of the cage, of course) were able to pull the meat out using the length of the rope.
Next, a piece of meat was tied to the rope, but the rope was then tied to the center of the cage, so no matter how hard the rope was pulled the meat would not move.
After a few tugs the dog ran over to the humans and looked to them for help. The wolf spent longer tugging on the rope, but eventually gave up and walk away, not even acknowledging the humans standing nearby.
There was too much micromanaging tactics right off the bat to hold my interest. If I had three spears attacking one guy I'd end up getting slaughtered in two rounds after two of his buddies showed up because I didn't keep my archer in exactly the right hex.
I rather enjoyed it. My Fridays were spent backpacking, kayaking, bicycling, sometimes even hobby programming, or Getting Things Done like doing banking/other paperwork.
This sounds like the script to a herpes commercial.
No, you are completely wrong. Firefox's built-in auto update is disabled on Ubuntu. There is a built in update service which notifies you of updates automatically, pretty much the same way that windows does.
But does that mean on each machine or simply that computers on school property must be filtered?
If it's the latter, I'd recommend filtering things like myspace and facebook via the school's net connection
But to put filtering on the machines themselves is just asking for the students to break administrative restrictions on the laptops. And then some overexcited school administrator is going to press criminal charges for some random computer crime.
Even less than that. The only ideology of Anonymous is getting lulz./b/ is full of trolls, and trolls trolling trolls. And then ultra meta trolls who troll the troll trolls. Most of the time they are trying to fuck with each other.
For instance, until it was reported by a real news organization, this could have easily been a 4chan user trolling the boards.
to require three different accounts to play online.
In all seriousness, what the fuck?
I have my playstation account. Cool, but that isn't good enough. I sign into my playstation account and now I have to sign into a konami account? Uh, ok. That's great, I guess they wanted something that the playstation account couldn't provide.
Ok, all set, wait a third account? A gamer account? Uh, ok.
Yeah, I played MGS4 online one time and decided not to bother again. Three login screens was too much for a mediocre game. Oh, and you can only have one character, but for the low low price of $10 you can customize a second!
Thanks for a reply fully out of context with the original post in this thread! I'm glad you were able to add information totally unrelated to the security of entrusting your data to a third party.
Could you please clarify the link between security of your data and having 2 replicating servers for a colo box? Or how having full access to your shared hosting account keeps the hosting service from invading your privacy?
And then perhaps explain how a cloud account is more prone to data snooping than a colo box or a shared account?
Cloud computing is no different than any other hosting service. Shared hosting, a colo box, a virtual machine, or a cloud account are all vulnerable. So unless you have a direct line to a tier1 backbone you're going to have to put your data into someone else's hands at some point.
Has anyone advocated using an openID account for your bank? OpenID is for sites like slashdot, or some random blog you stumbled across and will only post comments on a handful of times. Quite the strawman argument to say you're going to lose all your monies when you shouldn't even have your bank account linked to an openid provider.
What does that have to do with anything specific to openID? If someone is logging your keystrokes they've already compromised every account you log into.
In fact, openID is actually easier to recover from because you only have to change one password vs the password for every site.
That's the entire idea. You can have multiple open id accounts so you have multiple identities, but the entire point is to tie yourself to a single account.
My slashdot, reddit, digg, fark and technocrat accounts really aren't that important to me. I fact, it would save a lot of hassle if i only had a single log on for all of them. OpenID makes sense in that situation.
Now my bank accounts and credit cards are different. I want different accounts and passwords for each. OpenID makes no sense there.
I don't think you understand how openid works.
The only way to compromise all sites is for your openid provider to be compromised. You only provide 3rd party sites with a URL which points to your openid provider. You are forwarded to your openid provider (SSL cert verifies to you that the provider is legit.) You enter your credentials to the openid provider who then sends over a back channel that you are verified back to the 3rd party site.
At no time does the 3rd party site have any of your authentication credentials and therefore can not access anything on other sites which you use that openid account for.
They didn't show a funeral. They showed a remembered ceremony. Unless you saw a coffin somewhere I'm pretty sure that was just a public display of appreciation by the city

The shoebomber was stopped by passengers while the plane was in the air.

Ipods have not made you party of the trendy crowd for years. Ipods are nearing market saturation. At this point it is trendier to not own an Ipod.

200 miles is the exclusive economic zone.
International waters are 24 miles out.
So monitor your children's computer usage.

Universities have little reason to move to IPv6 beyond novelty. They generally have huge IPv4 blocks already.
Even less than that. The only ideology of Anonymous is getting lulz. /b/ is full of trolls, and trolls trolling trolls. And then ultra meta trolls who troll the troll trolls. Most of the time they are trying to fuck with each other.

But doesn't SLI mean NVIDIA sells two high end graphics cards? Why wouldn't they do this? It makes perfect sense in every way possible.
I guess D is dead? Could have been a lot of hype but it sounded like the language you were looking for.
For Windows XP type:
netsh interface ipv6 install
or
ipv6 install
depending on your service pack level. That was torture.

You wouldn't blame a php flaw on Apache so why blame an ASP flaw on IIS?
