How well does that work with IPv6? If a client has a/64 then they can do quite a lot of trial and error if each IP is blocked one by one.
You can change the action that fail2ban performs and make it block a range of IP addresses. I already block/24 IPv4 netblocks after seeing attacks from close ranges of addresses.
You'd still lose, because Disney can easily outspend the plaintiff's, for no real payout [ok, you can get your jobs back for 6 months until we lay you off! + lawyers fee's]. There's no penalty for violating the law.
If this comment was aimed at my point about a right of private prosecution, it doesn't reflect how things often work. Often initiating a private prosecution embarrasses the government into action.
But still, those people who advocate "small government" need to remember this when they are replaced by H1-B employees.
He knows the law was sold to the public as not permitting this, but was written to permit it, because that's what the people who paid for the law demanded.
Actually, I don't think that H1-B can legally be used in this way (I am not a lawyer, but this is my understanding of H1-B rules). The job isn't truly outsourced because in deals like this, the company (Disney in this case) retains too much control over the H1-B replacements, so this is a clear case of using H1-Bs to replace American and resident aliens at lower wages, which is not allowed.
Then those "small government" types starve the agencies that should enforce the laws, so that the laws go unenforced. What I don't understand is why the USA doesn't allow a private right of prosecution in the same way that the UK allows.
And what is the better choice here? 16-core Opterons at 2.6 GHz, 8-core Xeons at 3.4 GHz? Are power and thermals limiting factors here? (A full rack cupboard would consume something like 25 kW, it seems?) There seems to be precious little straightforward information about this on the net.
There is another factor to consider. If you ever license software that is priced using a per-core model (for example LSF), you will find a great advantage in going with the Intel solution.
But in this circumstance, the DHS can detain anyone they want.
Did you miss the part where the DHS also harrassed her when getting on domestic flights? I know courts have said the TSA can search people because "terrorists", but if the searches are not truly related to terrorists then they are unconsitutional and illegal.
So you think it is far more appropriate for them to have to develop a nonstandard plug rather than trust in the honesty and decency of the citizens of the UK?
Uninstall Flash. Just stop using it. Encourage your friends to do the same.
I would, but I listen to Pandora Radio on my desktop while at work. Pandora needs flash.
I don't know if it is something that I am doing, but in the last month or two, flash seems to crash far, far more often. Several times per day (and often several times per hour). I have installed a flash-block plugin and will see if things improve.
Everyone understands that, in the current system in the USA, politicians have to give and take. The problem that people have with this is twofold: 1. Because the whips have much less power than in other countries (such as the UK), politicians in the USA can blame others when they don't do what their votors want them to do. 2. People get upset when politicians abandon core issues in the name of "horsetrading".
People understand that they won't get everything their representative promised, but when they get only token, minor changes, that's when things are wrong.
I could see someone wanting to own a car that they never drove because they had a driver. The thought is silly but I can picture it and know it is certainly true in some cases. I love to drive.
Your personal anecdote is interesting, but it has little relevence to my point that a tiny number of people want more objects just so that they can possess them. Look at the prices of art by famous old masters and how the value depends mostly on who painted the picture, not on the merits of the artwork.
They know that a ban on Whatsapp would be immensely unpopular and would make millions of people realize how stupid their drive against encryption is.
Instead, their intent is to force Whatsapp and others to voluntarily hand over the communications of their users, much like Blackberry (reportedly) agreed to do for countries with regressive regimes.
The one thing I don't get is that flights are constantly over weight, or at least that's their excuse for jacking up baggage fees, so how do they expect to handle the extra weight from 80 more people?
Where did you get that idea from? They jack up baggage fes because they can, no other reason.
Planes can also take more or less freight -- but freight doesn't pay a much as passengers, so they would prefer to make up the weight with passengers rather than freight.
You are using outliers to claim all of humanity is bound by those rules. There are plenty or rich people that just live and dont worry about increasing their wealth. Trump is a greedy fuck, nothing more. Dont use greedy fucks as an example for all of us
The problem is that those outliers will fuck up utopia for the rest of us. Their greed is the downfall of society. We already see that today, with increasing wealth disparity and historical data that shows that overall reduced wealth is associated with increased disparity.
Says the guy who wants 99,999 ferraris so he can drive a different one every day. You don't? Huh, weird, I guess there is a limit on want, need, and desire.
Go ask Floyd Mayweather what he does with the cars he buys: he is known for buying them, then never driving them. Why? I have no idea, but he clearly feels some need to own them.
It's an interesting concept, but I think that it is flawed.
The problem is that the people who want Reputation don't really have the skills to get it. Look at society today -- sociopaths are over-represented amongst the wealthy. Many of these sociopaths don't have any advantages other than their lack of concern for others. Thus in a true meritocracy, they would not be wealthy or have a good reputation.
Society has to deal with these socipaths before any kind of meritocracy is possible.
I took a look at the postmaster tools, and as soon as the DNS update goes through (which proves to Google that I'm allowed to manage our postmaster tools) I'll have a better idea what options it gives us.
I registered and validated a couple of domains. However, the tools show no options for me. Probably we don't send enough emails to gmail, but I also wonder if what it needs is a number of emails AFTER registering.
Why the hell would I want to try to manage Windows - with its configuration management based on APIs (WMI, CIM etc.) - with a shell and tools designed to manage Unix, where configuration management is based around text files?
This needs to appeal to Unix users -- Why would experienced Windows users want SSH when Powershell can be used to manage remote computers?
Firstly, I would imagine that a combination of Powershell utilities and coreutils would be very effective. Secondly, not everything is about configuration management. I use cygwin extensively in my job, running a BASH shell and using many of the coreutils to start, run and analyze processes.
Some low-level customer support person didn't do what they were supposed to do in order to stop the calls
Initially, yes, but what about the calls that happened after she initiated her lawsuit? None of the lawyers asked if the calls were continuing? None of the bosses asked if the calls were continuing? This wasn't just a low-level f*ck-up.
Indeed, Microsoft wants BSD to succeed over Linux. BSD can be controlled, Linux can't due to the licenses used.
I'll probably be modded down to troll for this but: Microsoft indirectly sounded the death knell for a product today that was killed by Linux -- Windows Phone.
Greece, and the officials who they voted into office. They created their own mess. They lied about that mess. And, they got help, but still couldn't get their shit all in one bucket.
So much wrongness in one post.
1. You have no room for the idea that bankers (and their enablers) who knowingly lend money that cannot be repaid do not share in the guilt?
2. It wasn't really Greece that was bailed out. Instead, it was the banks that own the debts.
3. Arguably, the austerity measures already imposed have made the situation in Greece worse, not better.
4. Here is the real worry for EU politicians: that Greece may make a successful exit from the Euro. Other countries might want to follow.

No need to develop a new plug, just use a round-pin plug

What the government want is the "Great Firewall of the UK". That's what we should call it, instead of the "Snooper's Charter".

Reduced dividends to stockholders. Or reduced retained earnings (which should result in reduced stock price).
Without a BASH shell, GNU utilities, etc., not likely to have much impact.
