Quite aside from your important personal documents, it's good practice to keep scanned copies of every bit of potentially-useful correspondence, and throw them in a Dropbox.
This way, when (not if) your account get compromised the identity thief doesn't have to really dig through your life to get everything he needs. It's all in one place.
That would depend on the southbridge, not the CPU.
These are full SoC. CPU, GPU, memory controllers, PCI Express, SATA, USB, etc are all on one chip. Attach IO ports, memory slots, and storage connectors and you got yourself a complete system.
So you are expecting every small company to afford a large network infrastructure.
No. But I do expect companies that require their hosted services in order to function have backup plans should the service go down.
If in this case of the original comment about several hundred doctors not being able to access their information when the banks were under attack...several hundred doctors isn't a small company. That's a large medical organization. Or if whoever was running the service was treating it like an overloaded shared server then they get what they pay for.
Full disclosure: I'm in the process of getting my 3D finished up.
No, I don't think that 3D printers will be ubiquitous as computers, and cell phones, but I don't think they'll be a rarity either...eventually. They fill a niche but I think niche could be very large one day.
How many times have you broke something and wish you could replace it without having to buy a whole new item? How many times have you needed a project box for something you're building and it wasn't quite the right configuration? How many times have you wished you had some type of nicknack but you didn't have the ability to produce it?
All the above apply to me, as well as to the people I know that also have 3D printers. Maybe none of the above apply to you. But I bet you or someone you know would love to be able to create a custom cell phone case though. Or a special someone might like a lithopane of a sentimental photo. Or to help a child learn about physics and mechanical advantages with some custom gears.
CMOA? AWM? CMU? FRSCI? Identifying what an acronym stands for is very helpful when the acronym isn't very well known. Yes I know I can read the article and try to find it out, but it's helpful for summaries too.

Unless it is very clearly stated what the numbers represent, numbers like what the article state can be manipulated to state whatever particular angle the author wants to take. 3 to 30 watts for an enterprise SSD is a heck of a range. What type of statistical distribution do enterprise SSD fall in that range? For example, do all fall close to 3 watts but 1 particular drive that come in at 30? Is the wattage at idle? Performing reads? Writes? Sequential or random? Real world or synthetic tests? Is the drive a traditional SAS/SATA drive or a PCIe SSD that wouldn't exactly be an apples to apples comparison of power usage?
Plus, then numbers may just be flat out wrong. Go visit Seagate's website. Find me the "Seagate Enterprise 15K 2.5" form factor HD that consumes 1W of power when in actual use. You won't find it. They have some 7200 RPM drives that do when they are in "PowerChoiceâ Technology" idle mode. But it's not 1W in use. And it's not a 15k drive. But why let the details interfere with an article.
So, if I take a video of someone stealing my car, would I get arrested? Under what circumstances could I do that and not be charged? WTF doesn't gathering evidence of bullying get an exemption from wiretap laws?
Depends on what your state recording laws are. Do you live in a one-party consent state or all-party consent state? Are you recording just video, just audio, or audio and video? Does the other party have an expectation of privacy (e.g. recording bullying in a restroom). Was the recording done covertly or in plain view?
If someone stole your car that was parked in your driveway and you had a video only security camera in plain view, you most likely would be fine. If there was audio and you lived in a all-party consent state, then you're probably in trouble.
I assume her limited acting engagements got even smaller when film studios realized how badly most people didn't like her because of her anti-vaccine views,
When IMDB lists your "Known for" as a visit on The View in 1997, two Playboy videos, and Scary Movie 3, I wouldn't characterize it as "limited acting engagements". I'd say non-existent acting engagements.
Then don't use DynDNS's service. Use any one or multiple of the many 3rd party dynamic DNS services. Or use your registrar if they have such a feature. I use Namecheap for instance. I need a registrar. I need a DNS server. Might as well eliminate one extra failure point or add one extra point of redundancy depending on your setup.
And no company can assure you that it won't happen again. It's not as if they planned for it to break. They did something (or depending on the circumstances, didn't do something) and it broke. They can assure you that they are gong to try for it not to happen again. Or take steps for better testing, implementation, or quickly fall back should a snafu happen again. But they can't say that it won't happen again.
Well if Costco thought that they themselves could sell a million jars of peanut butter in New Mexico, then I'd say a million jars for two million people might not last as long as you think.
Even if a fraction of the million jars ended up being used at food banks, homeless shelters, whatnot, that still a fraction better than all of it being dumped into a landfill.
With Ebay, it's always a gamble as to what exactly you're getting and the condition you'll get it. But it usually will get to you within a week. With Alibaba, it's a gamble as to what exactly you're getting, the condition you'll get it, AND how long it will take to get to you (if it ever does).
As soon as backdoors or any other security related "features" get involved, I tend to think that anything is possible despite how things are suppose to operate.
I wasn't looking for it to go anywhere really other than pointing out the absurdity of saying that taking a bluray rip down to a 800MB divx rip results in just an acceptable loss of quality.
I'm by no means a audio/videophile snob, but you either have a blind and/or deaf if you can't see a MAJOR quality deficiency with a 800 bluray rip. What's the point of having a bluray movie if the first thing you normally do is make it look like crap?
I always rip it to DIVX. 800 MB for a DVD or even bluray rip is a great economy,
I do the exact same thing with high res pictures. I immediately will take the full resolution raw image and convert it down to a 320px gif. Or maybe a 10% quality jpeg. You get great economy that way too. Who wants to keep a 30+MB image around when you can have almost the same thing in 10kB instead!
Ask yourself this - how could someone in Syria contribute to code they've never seen before?
The same way that Western goods make their way to any country under export control, through intermediaries.
Coke can't sell to North Korea. Coke however can be sold (or made) in China and then gets shipped across the line to North Korea.
Is it really hard to imagine that Syria or Iran might be able to download from an intermediary country that might have a mirror of the distribution? Or had someone travel to such a country to download it? Or just went through a VPN or proxy? Or...
No where does it say that the original password of the deceased was requested and/or provided. Apple could just as easily reset the password to something that was known, and then provided the reset password. Or provided some other reset mechanism to allow the requester to set a new password.
I don't know. Police officers generally tend to know that drugs are illegal and enforce such laws that make them illegal without possessing a stockpile of them at their personal desk and/or at their home. They don't have to "research" the drugs by physically possessing them outside of an operational or laboratory (aka non-official) setting.
The same thing can be said for just about any illegal activity. You don't have to actively go out and find it to learn about it. You don't have to murder, beat, or rape to know that the actions are illegal to craft a law against them. Or to speed in a car, launder money, or commit tax fraud...although those last ones are probably bad examples as I'm sure many politicians are practicing experts in those areas...

Seriously? I think the easier question is how often to we get stuff that isn't from molded plastic.

Not sure that's the right link or not. That's about taxing freebies, not going after decades old debts.

Speak for yourself. I don't want to be her, nor do I want her to be my girlfriend (or wife or mistress or any other relationship for that matter.)
Checking my last cell bill, I think that's about the combined average rate for my kids and wife during any typical 5 hour period.

Were the patents involved design patents? If so, then it's not about what functionality was "invented" but rather how it looks as an entirety.
Well if Costco thought that they themselves could sell a million jars of peanut butter in New Mexico, then I'd say a million jars for two million people might not last as long as you think.
Even if a fraction of the million jars ended up being used at food banks, homeless shelters, whatnot, that still a fraction better than all of it being dumped into a landfill.
Where were the jars leaking? Were any jars not leaking but still could have had seals that were compromised?
