(B) any storage of such communication by an electronic communication service for purposes of backup protection of such communication;
So, if I download my email via POP3 or IMAP, and leave a copy on the server, which is the backup? I could argue that the copy on the server is the backup, while my local copy is the primary. What a stupid law to distinguish between backups and original copies!
The only problem I have is the layman will not want to "make their computer insecure by disabling secure boot" which only serves to stigmatize alternative OSes as the insecure option while Windows is viewed as "more secure."
More worryingly, what about when the "security companies" start promulagting the idea that "best practice" is to have secure boot enabled? Many of the security companies make money from the insecurity of Windows, so it is in their interest to make it more difficult to run Linux.
I think TomTom has given up on POI data. I have a stand-alone TomTom device and the POI data never gets updated when I connect it to a PC and ask for updates. Assuming it has the correct address, the navigation is excellent.
I think it refers to government financing for some sort of rail transport project in England, but I'm not as sure about that part.
It's not a "project". It is the right to run the rail franchise for the west coast main line. The rails themselves are owned by Network Rail and companies bid periodically for the rights to run services on those rails.
As you can see, it isn't just the account number. Perhaps you never saw the raw account number and just assumed that the numbers you used were the actual account number?
Don't. US banks don't use SWIFT for wire transfers. They only use it for passing messages.
This is not the case. I used to send SWIFT messages for a living, and transfers to and from the US was a large part of the job.
Get your mother's account number and wire transfer routing number. The latter is usually not the same as the regular routing number.
No, don't just get the account number. In my experience, the number that you need to use has the account number within it, but has extra digits. You need to know what these extra digits are. Probably your bank's website will provide the information.
Get the SWIFT address of your mother's bank's head office, unless they have a SWIFT address for transfers in USD.
Don't. US banks don't use SWIFT for wire transfers. They only use it for passing messages.
I have come across many software projects where TFM is either a set of examples, none of which match what I am trying to do and lack sufficient explanation of the examples for them to be usefully extrapolated to other use cases, or a description of the syntax of the input files with no examples of how to use it (so the semantics of the input files are not explained).
How many rational people strap the dog kennel to the roof of the car?
I am sure that lots of rational people do. As for rational people who strap the kennel to the roof of the car and then drive with the dog in the kennel -- that is a different and more important question!
So all you can do is play defense defense defense. You can harden your systems all you want but being a stationary and fallible target it's almost inevitable that you'll be compromised. It's too easy to compromise a system
Maybe the " defense defense defense" approach is flawed also (or perhaps the way that people "play defense" is flawed). Perhaps you start by looking at what technologies have been compromised most frequently and you avoid those technologies.
Today, chips are nearly always laid out using advanced, CAD-like software â" the designer says he wants X cache, Y FPUs, and Z cores, and the software automagically creates a chip. Hand-drawn processors, on the other hand, are painstakingly laid out by chip designers.
There are a lot of layout methodologies that are between the (frankly mythical) "X cache, Y FPUs, and Z cores" and fully hand layout. The top level may have more or less amounts of hand assembly, some blocks can be hand optimized, etc.. Usually, there is lots of glue logic which must be designed in RTL, synthesized and only then laid-out. And, for most blocks the process to create the logic design (RTL or perhaps gates) is separate from the process of laying-out these blocks. So there is room for manual involvement in each of the steps.
I thought Australian immigration requires anyone to be of at least 1 or 2 years (depending on few factors) as a permanent resident before they can apply to become a citizen,
Many countries have loopholes for people with enough money.
Seems like the real solution is to do even more extensive screening, to get an idea of what fraction of the interesting features actually turn out to be dangerous. Perhaps even finding a way to further refine the scans to find features that are dangerous.
Not when the followup diagnostics and unneccessary treatment are harmful to the health of those many, many people subject to false positives from MRI scanning.
The simplest explanation -- that Microsoft is handing over bags of cash to get this Windows 8 exclusivity -- both fits the facts and Microsoft's past behavior. So I'd say, yes.
This is actually quite a clever strategy by Microsoft. Allow UEFI secure boot to boot other operating systems on x86 systems, then get the processor manufacturers to make it impossible to make a useful(*) port of any other operating systems to new x86 processors.
* Yes, as an x86 processor, other operating systems will run, but if the power management cannot be access by the OS, it isn't going to be a useful port.
Actually, US-issued credit cards can be problematic in the UK because some ignorant shopkeepers and workers think that they cannot accept a card that does not have chip-and-pin.
You seem to have missed my point that I have had a bad experience with performance when using a hardware RAID controller. I got a lot of support from the vendor, who agreed that I was using appropriate enterprise-class drives. Eventually the conclusion from the vendor was that RAID cards were built to optimise certain types of usage at the cost of poor performance for other types of usage. Apparently what I was doing (or rather, what the company I was working for was doing) just didn't fit into the envelope of performance for that card.
In my experience, hardware RAID has other disadvantages: flexibility -- can you re-shape or extend your array with a hardware card? I am also at the mercy of the hardware vendor when it comes to the tools used to manage the RAID system.
Perhaps some kinds of usage make the ability to withstand power cuts more important than others (database servers, for example).
If money is no object and you don't care about flexibility, go for a hardware RAID card, but if money is a concern, I would spend money on redundant power supplies and UPS for the system first.
You give examples of time when a hardware RAID card would save data loss when software RAID would not, but what if the RAID card's cache is full when the power goes off? You are still going to lose data. Perhaps your examples are corner cases? Arguably, the RAID card is more complexity and more to go wrong on the system. What if the RAID card dies when writing data?
Yes, there are advantages to hardware RAID, but pretending that there are no downsides is not realistic.
All you need to recover the array in the event of a card failure is to place them into another server with the same generation controller or replace the failed controller.
Exactly. You have to go out and buy a new controller. In some cases, you have to match the firmware version. In reality, when you buy a controller card, you should probably buy a second card as a spare in case the primary card dies.
There is no such complication using software RAID under Linux. I don't have to ask if the vendor has made provision to make the RAID set portable.
There are a few cases where hardware RAID may give an advantage, but it is (IMHO), poor use of the money. The same money applied to other parts of your server can give more value.
I have seen really terrible performance on real hardware RAID cards using enterprise-class hard drives. And, yes, I am 100% certain that it was not a fakeRAID controller card.
Hardware RIAD in not a magic bullet for performance and they come with a nuymber of disadvantages (your RAID controller dies: good luck getting the data off the disks).

Microsoft has nothing to lose from this. Removing legitimate sites from Google's index only helps Bing.

Let me show you one bank's instructions:

From the same bank:
Perhaps there are cases where SWIFT codes can be used for money transfers, but this is clearly not the general case.

If my company is in the EU, but not the UK, I can't get a ".uk" domain name? Doesn't that violate EU rules?

Both examples and explanation are needed.
You mean, apart from known attacks on WPS, which is commonly enabled on access points using WPA.

Much too hard. Why decide that the new MAC address is? Instead:
macchanger --random eth0
The battery life would be very short?

It's written by Andrew Orlowski, which means that, in the article, everything Microsoft or closed is good and everything Linux or open is bad.

Use software RAID and buy from SuperMicro. Yes, $3k will get you a reliable server (perhaps with dual power supplies also).
