Could they elaborate? I thought "Burning Man" was like the west coast version of Bonnaroo. I don't see how "hippie fests" have anything to do with developing great software. But then again, I don't like hippies.
Exactly what aid did FEMA deny or not produce that was requested by the Mayor or Governor?
The levee system was only recently completed. It was only designed to deal with the storm surge of a category 3 storm. One that could withstand this storm was only considered last year.
I'm not making excuses for anyone. I am sure there are foul ups all around, however, to act as if this is all the fault of the federal government is wrong.
If we really want to blame someone, let's blame the guy that thought it would be ok to build a city below sea level next to the ocean.
Actually, it isn't. Bad example. It was known for years that the levees would break given an adequately severe storm. The Feds just didn't give a shit.
What? "Didn't give a shit?" I suppose if they "did give a shit" they would have turned off "the hurricane machine" or something? The levee system was not designed to take a hurricane of this magnitude. The best thing to do would have been to evacuate New Orleans.
Ok, I'm going to rant. Not at you in particular, so please don't take this as a personal attack.
As I said this is a rant. I am sick and tired of hearing people whine about "The Feds" not being able to handle problems that were clearly created by an incompetent Mayor's reaction to a bad situation.
In other words, if the file is written somewhere that a user with a higher privilege could execute, then it would become a privilege escalation. IE itself is not escalating any privileges.
I would say the ability to write anywhere on the filesystem to be a real problem.
It's not running in the kernel. It doesn't run with privileges that are above the current users. In fact, there's nothing about IE's "integration" that Mozilla isn't just as vulnerable to (in effect, anything IE can do, so can Mozilla, because IE just uses userland API's the same as Mozilla does).
Homeplug is the consumer standard for in house data over powerlines.
HomePlug is also the standard that Motorola is using for their low voltage Canopy system. It operates on the 110/220 side of the transformer, not one the medium voltage lines.
Homeplug has actual hardware based filters to make sure it does not interfere with amateur radio operators. It does not merely change the modulation technique like most BPL providers have done to mitigate interference.
Next weekend I am launching an access point on a sounding balloon. Estimated peek altitude should be around 109,000ft. That should give me line of sight of just over 400 miles, however, the antennas are very small and I do not expect such range unless someone has a serious groundstation.
As I understand it, water is resonant in the infra-red portion of the EM spectrum. Microwave ovens use 2.4GHz because at that frequency RF energy is absorbed by water, but not my plastics and ceramics.
I have a friend who is an American Citizen, born here, white as can be. He's a private pilot in his late 20's. He bought a 1 way ticket in advance to get home after flying for work. He had an Air Marshal sitting next to him because he was one of the highest risk passangers for that day. (And it happens a lot) Folks, that's what we are spending money on.
The reason they do such things, especially to high profile people, such as celebrities, is to make sure arabs know it's not just them that are being scrutinized.
BB: I had some friends at a company called Enterprise Integration Technology, and somebody there asked me, "What would be your ideal Web server?" So I wrote about a bunch of stuff that I thought was missing from NCSA's server -- some stuff that still isn't in a lot of Web servers like revision control and stuff like that. I put it on a page and said: "I should come up with a name for this." The name literally came out of the blue. I wish I could say that it was something fantastic, but it was out of the blue. I put it on a page and then a few months later when this project started, I pointed people to this page and said: "Hey, what do you think of that idea?"
Someone said they liked the name and that it was a really good pun. And I was like, "A pun? What do you mean?" He said, "Well, we're building a server out of a bunch of software patches, right? So it's a patchy Web server." I went, "Oh, all right."
LM: That never occurred to you when you thought of the name?
BB: When I thought of the name, no. It just sort of connoted: "Take no prisoners. Be kind of aggressive and kick some ass."

802.11 balloons are so two months ago.
Just kidding. We had a few problems, but hope to do better next time. I have done the math this time and know what is needed to make it happen.
Everything from templates to control flow to business logic is written in Ruby
Uh, doesn't business logic belong in the database where the datagnomes live?

I thought XLR was used for low level, balanced, audio signals.
For less loss on long speaker runs, I would use 600 ohm audio transformers.
I love seeing posts on /. like this. MySQL? Your using it right now. :)Hehehe.
I use ntbackup for such jobs. Backup from the source, restore to where I need it. I hate xcopy because of all the reasons you outlined above.
Come on! Wonder Woman, Batman and Two Supermen (None are Sci-Fi AFAIAC) but no Incredible Hulk?
This is completely wack! This person needs their nerd credentials revoked.

The primary responsibility for evacuating New Orleans was *THE MAYOR*, as witnessed by his recent statement, "There is only one Mayor of New Orleans". He had a 300+ page written document for evacuation. It was not followed.

A privilege elevation vulnerability exists in Internet Explorer because of the way that Internet Explorer handles Drag and Drop events. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by constructing a malicious Web page that could potentially allow an attacker to save a file on the user's system if a user visited a malicious Web site or viewed a malicious e-mail message. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability.
Thanks for posting this. I just upgraded from 0.86.1 It took a whole 2 minutes!
Here is an interview with the guy getting 40Db over S9 noise.

Isn't the POTS system closed?
No, it is an open standard, regulated by the FCC, 47 CFR 68.3.

Linux was mainstream that day in 1998 (or 99) I walked into CompUSA and bought the Linux version of Quake.

Reflector 925 Channel 2 gave me nice clean NASA audio with no dropouts. Can't say the same for the Yahoo's video feed.
I agree. Indians it is :)

The FAQ is wrong.

WTF?? Until this comment I had never heard anything about it being named for Native Americans.
What kind of speed do you get?
