It's nice to talk about 100% uptime, but you can't protect your network from everything. As an example, what do you do if/when there's another Carrington Event and much of the power grid goes out? Yes, some of the backbone will still be working and you have backup power, but how much and how long will it last? Even if your data centers are hardened enough to keep the flare from frying your servers and routers, all you can do is hope that the electric grid comes back before your generators run out of fuel because if they do, you're going down no matter how good your plan is. And, as you can only stockpile a finite quantity of fuel, you can't guarantee staying up until the power's back. Yes, that's not the only disaster that could bring Apple and Google down, but most of the others are man made, and I wanted to show that even a natural disaster (or Act of God if you prefer) can overwhelm the best laid plans of mice or men.
IANAL, but my understanding is that a contract is supposed to represent a meeting of minds. If the terms are non-negotiable, no meeting of minds is possible and the document is not a contract, even if it calls itself one. Please read and understand the beginning of this post before basing any actions on it.
I must say that I'm completely underwhelmed by the reviewer's knowledge of his subject because ignoring bash itself, only two of the commands listed (cd and the two redirection commands, > and >> ) are built into bash. The rest of them are separate programs that are called by bash. And, calling a package of Linux utilities by the name of the included shell program doesn't exactly increase his credibility.
I did even better: I held up my VA patient's ID card. Not only is it useless as ID anyplace except the VA, you're asked for the last four digits of your SSN as a PIN. I imagine that a student ID card would work just as well.
I get invoices on my personal domain by email in.pdf format. Every one of them instructs me to print out a copy for my records. I'm sure that most people do exactly that because they can't get their heads around the idea that keeping a copy of the file is just as good and takes up much less physical space.
Speaking as an insulin-dependent diabetic (I've never been on a pump and don't expect to be in the future.) I can tell you that you're only looking at one side of the coin. The other side is hacking the pump to deliver less insulin than needed, causing the victim to go into a coma caused by high blood sugar. In that case, the proper treatment is insulin, and if the patient is awake and coherent, lots and lots of water to drink so that the kidneys can do their part in flushing it out of the system.
As FOLDOC explains, Intel tested this idea decades ago by putting one board in a 25 ton lead safe and another outside to see if there was a measurable difference in bit rot. There wasn't. " Further investigation demonstrated conclusively that the bit drops were due to alpha particle emissions from thorium (and to a much lesser degree uranium) in the encapsulation material." They ended up redesigning the memory to be more resistant to the effect.
Now then, using a regex to replace Hillary@clinton.org to XXXXXXX@XXXXXXX.XXX (which is the exact same number of characters, and thus won't break a binary if it is sensible) inside a.PST is pretty straight forward, and something a high level admin should be able to accomplish in a few minutes.
You don't even need a regex because you're looking for a fixed string. All it takes is to rename the file and use one line of sed, outputting a file with the original name. Trivial, especially if you have it run late at night from a shell script while nobody's using their email.
I've been using Fedora since FC 6, and it's been my only OS since F 9. I've helped several people migrate to Linux, and not put any of them on Fedora because it's a medium-geeky distro that's not for newbies. Generally, they end up with Xubuntu, to give them an easy to use distro that avoids the horror show of Unity. Of course, I also use Xfce, because I want to be able to customize my desktop more than Gnome 3 is willing to allow.
As far as I know, JPL is still using a program written in the late '70s or early '80s by Dan Alderson in FORTRAN for spacecraft navigation and maneuvering. The language it was written in may not be popular now, but the program Just Works, so there's no reason to re-invent that particular wheel.
Before you get too excited by this, you might want to ask Simon Illyan about the side effects and what can happen when the chip wears out. Believe me, folks, it's not pretty.
Yes, indeed. They've recognized our Weapons of Mass Cultural Destruction for what they are, the way Western Civilization will bring them down once and for all.
I'm retired, so my primary device is my home desktop. I run Fedora Linux on both my desktop and my laptop, and it's a bleeding edge testbed for RedHat, so in that sense, even the final version of each release is a "preview version." Of course, I never upgrade both of them at the same time, so that if and when something goes wrong, I'm not completely hosed.
The Cherokee tribe adopted a written form of their language (a syllabary, not an alphabet as such) developed by Sequoyah in 1825, and their literacy rate rapidly outpaced that of their European neighbors. The really remarkable thing about this is that he was completely illiterate when he started, although unlike most of his people he didn't think that reading and writing were a form of sorcery.
Has this moron Thiel looked at their anti-gay agenda even?
I'm sure he has. I'm also sure that unlike you he understands that this is just something that they had to put in to keep the Religious Right from bolting, along with all of that anti-abortion stuff. Nobody in politics expects those planks to go anywhere, but they insist on them to keep their more naive followers (who don't understand) happy.
That was my thought at first. However, if you RTFS (I know, I know, this is Slashdot, where people post first and RTFS later if at all.) you'll find that all it does is identify the font if it can. If you want to use the font, you still have to get a copy of it, and if it's a custom font, you probably won't be able to find it.
Holy cow, you guys are such fanboys... you don't even realize what this software is trying to do.
Yup! It's trying to use social engineering to get around the system's built-in protections. As of now, Linux still has better protections (Even if you let a malware program run it can't get at your system files unless you're stupid enough to run as root) but I'll gladly admit that Windows is much better now than it was ten years ago, even without the third-party protections that Linux doesn't need. And, I'm sure that there are attack vectors against Linux, even holes in things like SELinux or AppArmor. I was just pointing out that this particular way of infecting a machine is nothing more than a moment's entertainment on Linux.
What's really funny is running across one of those fake virus scan malwares when you're running Linux and watching it claim to find all sorts of virus infections in folders that not only don't exist on your machine, they can't because the paths are malformed for Linux. And, even if they try to download and execute their payload it doesn't work because the files aren't marked executable by default. Linux isn't perfect, by any means, but at least it's immune to that kind of attack.

And a good third of it is knowing the limits of your skills and when you need to go for help.

I'm not familiar with that film, but here's another movie with no women. In fact, it's the only film like that starring Clark Gable.

Actually, all three should go to prison. Jail is where you go when you're awaiting trial, prison is where you serve your sentence.
Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice used private accounts for classified emails
At this point, what difference does it make?

Just another case of suicide by cop. Think of it as evolution in action.

... the logs leave a precise record of the result.
Not only that, the logs are in clean 7-bit ASCII instead of some undocumented binary format so that you don't need some special program to read them.
