On the other hand, for e-mails, it's not that easy. This is end-user level
More and more STMP servers support SMTP-TLS which theoretically provides the same level of security for emails between servers as HTTPS does. However, there are 2 problems:
1. Many SMTP servers only have self-signed certificates, so certificate checking is not typically used with smtp-tls.
2. Emails are vulnerable on the server if the host cooperates.
About a decade ago I bought several 12-hour S-VHS tapes from england. For whatever reason JVC refused to sell any tape longer than 9 hours on U.S. shores, perhaps to force customers to buy more of them.
Did you actually check the running times of the tapes? IIRC, VHS tapes in PAL machines run at a different speed to VHS tapes in NTSC machines, so it may be that the actual length of tape was the same, but they were marked differently for the different markets.
Still seems odd. Typing existed long before PCs. My mother is around her age and learned in high school on a typewriter.... hell I learned on a typewriter! It was just another class in public school that nearly everyone took. Maybe it's a US thing to learn to type?
I grew up in the UK. I am not aware of any typing classes in schools when this lady would have been in school. At that time, I think there were specialist training centers (not public schools) that taught typing skills.
Also, it's not so simple as just learning to type. The most common screen reader (JAWS) is very expensive and horrible to use. Other devices (such as Braillenotes) are also very expensive, and braille is quite complex. Yes, if you used the software or devices to do a job, you would buy them, but this lady doesn't appear to work.
Sanal received a phone call from a Police official of Juhu Police Station in Mumbai directing him to come to the said police station to face the charges and get arrested
I'm not clear on how instructions from the police to come in and be arrested are "nothing to see here"? Perhaps you could explain?
Are you kidding me? You honestly think MS should still have to remove IE? That would make Windows the only operating system that doesn't bundle a browser of some kind. My kindle (not fire) even has a browser. There is no reason a modern OS shouldn't have a browser bundled.
It should have a browser, just not necessarily IE, as in Europe where you get the option of using one of a variety of browsers.
I agree. Why did not one of the Lumia 900 reviewers have problems with data connections? Why did so few reviews mention the terrible Browsermark and SunSpider benchmarks? No, they told us that, despite its single-core processor, the Lumia is smooth and fast. Normal use apparently doesn't include using the browser.
The reviewers told us how the chassis of the Lumia 900 is wonderful to behold, despite the ugly protruding screen.
It's not a donation, it's payment for use of the technology which was developed and then patented.
Under newspeak, payment to American patent trolls is "supporting innovation" while payment to foreign governments that paid for development of new technologies and then patented them is "a donation".
Thatâ(TM)s the key point here: The Lumia 900 isnâ(TM)t targeting iPhone or Galaxy users; itâ(TM)s targeting the 41% of the US public who still own a feature phone. If youâ(TM)re already firmly set on getting an iPhone, the Lumia wonâ(TM)t stop you â" but for walk-in customers, the $200 price difference is really quite significant.
A quick glance on Amazon shows new android phones at less than $300 without a contract. T-Mobile has lots of Android phones available at $0 + plus a contract. Those current feature phone owners will find that more attractive than $450 for the Lumia 900, or about the same as $0 to $99 with a contract. It's not a new class.
SMART is only useful to possibly confirm that a drive has a problem. Only a fool relies on it to notify them when there's a problem. I've probably replaced somewhere around 750 hard drives here at work, and of those, under a dozen were still accessible and displaying a SMART failure.
Are you monitoring only the Pass/Fail condition? Because IIRC, the Google study showed that an increase in the number of reallocated sectors was a good indication of future failure. While I have not swapped out anything like 750 drives, I have found that a combination of smartd to monitor the drives and logwatch to tell me when the reallocated sector counts start to increase has usually given me a warning about imminent failure.
There are quite a few circumstances under which an officer can search you.
Yes, and IMHO, the Supreme Court has badly let down the citizens of the USA by allowing BS reasons for searches. I really odn't believe that the framers of the constitution intended that the police could stop someone in the street and search them just because of the policeman's "safety".
Which is why you're supposed to tell your travel schedule to your credit card companies. Lazy or a troll?
Recent experience: My wife went to the UK (we live in the USA) recently. I phoned the credit card company in advance and told them she would be in the UK. Cards on the account have been used in the UK on a fairly regular basis. Her card was suspended within a couple of days of her arrival. So, what's the point of calling the credit card company?
All these planes are landing in the US (a fact the summary conveniently leaves out just to stir the pot, and send you up.
The article does not just leave that out, it contradicts it, and goes further, mentioning that it applies to flights that do not enter US territory, so do you have a citation that this only applies to flights that actually land in the US?
I quit using rdiff-backup when I discovered that all my backups had been failing for a while because rdiff-backup did not like a filename (I think it was very long) and, instead of skipping the file and continuing (or even handling the odd filename), it had been hanging at that point. I consider that a giant FAIL for a backup system.
rdiff-backup wasn't doing anything that I could not do with rsync and some scripting anyway, so, what's the point?
I use (software) RAID-1 for my/home directory, just reinstall the OS and apps
What do you need RAID for at home? Would it matter if your home computer was down for a few hours?
RAID is not for backups, it provides continuous operation if a hard drive goes down. I really doubt that many many home computers need this.
Since you already have 2 hard drives, a much better use for the second is to remove it from the RAID set, put it in an external enclosure and use it for backups. In an external enclosure, it can be removed from the system, perhaps even cycled offsite.
Nobody even comes close to being as consistently bad as PacBell/SBC/AT&T.
My phone, which is on T-Mobile, does not receive text (SMS) messages from AT&T. This is 100% repeatable. It receives text messages from every other provider worldwide, but never from AT&T. I suspect this is because my number was with PacBell and I ported it to T-Mobile.
How do I solve this? I suspect that the only way to solve it is to take the number to AT&T for a month and then back to T-Mobile, but this will be a tremendous hassle.
I have had similar upsell experiences that were quite funny. I was looking at car audio. Salesman: "that model isn't very good, it will break down, why don't you look at some other makes", me: "OK, what have you got with features X,Y and Z". Salesman: "crickets.wav".
I wonder if the salesman learnt to ask what the customer requirements were before attempting the upsell?
For me it was the time I went there to buy a monitor and walked out when someone wasn't at the front checking receipts, so a guy comes tearing down hallway outside the store (in a mall), yelling at me to stop, grabs the monitor and holds on,
Frys also has someone at the door, but I always just walk past. They have never tried to stop me.
Tape is incredibly reliable - if that tape worked the day you made it (which somehow people never learn to check, despite every major backup software product supporting doing that automatically). Some times tapes and tape drives fail in use, just like disks. But once that tape is stored, it's good for a couple of decades (depending on format, of course, low-end tape sucks).
Which nicely makes the point that I have been making here on/. for a while. Tape is great for archives, while hard drives are great for backups. if you need to store the copy of your data for a few weeks (for the purpose of recovering the data in the event of a disk failure or accidental deletion), it is a backup, if you need to store it for months or years, it is an archive. Most small businesses need backups. Many large buisnesses and government agencies need archives.
That was the lightning strike that wiped out your $55K cheap solution where you're storing the data SOX requires you to keep.
Ooops.
Now you get to explain to the execs who now risk jail time why you were SOOOO fucking smart.
You would probably get a pay raise for this. Backups destroyed with plauasible deniablility. Perfect! Your employer doesn't want the backups, they are required to store them, but if they are accidentally deleted, well, that's just convenient when the SEC or some other agency comes calling.
The group of people who understand the nature of Sony, the relevance of this kind of behavior, or care at all is relatively small.
A couple of years ago, I sat next to someone on a plane who sold broadcast studio equipment for Sony. When I mentioned the rootkit fiasco, he had no idea what I was talking about.
Assuming that Apple has not advertised 4G in any Australian-targeted advertising, they should be OK.
Read this page and then note the "au" in the URL, not also the prices in Austalian dollars. It is clearly targeted to Australia and it highlights 4G capability.

T-Mobile will unlock a phone 40 days after it was bought, no need to wait 2 years for the end of the contract.

It's only Windows that makes it hard to store your files on a file server.
100Mbps Ethernet has been cheap for over 10 years and provides perfectly adequate speeds for most tasks, even if your files are stored on a server.
