>>the developer releases a general security update that applies to everyone, you'd be fine with your host disabling essentially your entire site until you fixed it?
It all depends on the TOS from the host. Maybe the host declares that they disable clients that are contributing to (or may contribute to) network abuse. Unpatched machines will get compromised and become launchpads for attacks on others.
>>And if you're on vacation for a week or two when it happens? What then?
Would you rather come back from vacation to a disabled but uncompromised site, or to a enabled but compromised site? For the first case, you'd need to apply the updates and then restart the server. For the second case, you'd need to scrub the machine, re-install all your software and customizations, then restore your databases and content directories from backup.
>>I rather like the fact that the stuff I run can essentially sustain itself in my absence.
The point is, it can't. You can't secure a box and walk away for days/weeks/months. You need to be actively maintaining your servers.
Another down-side of being a simmer is that a lot of the custom hardware just doesn't work under Linux. I can easily run Falcon under Linux, but forget getting my Saitek HOTAS to function properly. Ant that's before you add on a ton of crap like custom MFDs and additional input devices.
The problem is MA is too small a market to force something like this. What you'll do is force car makers to stop shipping to MA. Dealers will be the ones hurt. Makers and buyers will just hop across the border and carry on as usual.
All you need to do is pull the negative battery cable and the onboard systems will reset. You'll lose the radio programming, and any other onboard counters (like oil or tire pressure) will be reset.
It's a PITA, but we've been doing that on oil changes for decades now. If you change your own oil, you'll need to swing by Advance or Autozone (or NAPA for their "know how") to get the "Maint Reqd" light to go off.
>>In my town, practical BATTERY range is an inverse function of the number of feet of snow on the ground.
FTFY. Not too sure about lead-acid batteries, but I know lithium-polymer batteries absolutely suck when it's cold. Expect that 30 miles to drop to 10 or less.
I don't think that will be an option for a *long* time. As it stands now, if you are close to your car (and have your keys on you) you can be charged with DUI/DWI. The cops argue that you are technically in-control of your car any time you are near it.
I've seen two DUI busts while people were sitting in a non-running car listening to music. I've seen one for someone who went to get something out of the car without ever sitting inside or turning the ignition.
And as long as we have MADD, it'll be hard to change. They will always come back with "what ifs" and TOTC and lawmakers will roll over.
No fan of the po-po here. But use some skeptical thinking. The individual "said" she had a dislocated shoulder and a torn rotator cuff. I see no mention of her visiting a hospital.
Still, if a cop's camera is inoperative, he should be charged with dereliction of duty.
That's mostly controlled by muscles/tendons in the forearm. They mention some nerve repair, but I doubt they really mean it in the way we think they mean it.
If this had worked, he'd have been exactly as bad off as before. He would have just looked *slightly* more normal and been a *much* greater burden on his caregivers.
No. See, you aren't thinking like a lawyer. You can patent something IRL. Then get another patent for the same thing by adding "on a computer". Then, get a third patent by saying "on the internet". Maybe a fourth by saying "on a social network".
OpenPilot takes care of a lot of the control of these things. The firmware is already completely open. It is being tested in many vehicles all over the world.
The hardware is supposed to be released as open source fairly soon. As of now, they are limiting production to ensure proper testing...
I have been using LastPass for a while now. And the more I use it, the more skittish I get.
It's not that I'm really worried about losing access to the 500 or so sites in my database. Most of those I could reset via email.
And my email password has to be rememberable because of my android phone and such.
I just feel really skittish about relying on something that, in-effect, is an absolute book of knowledge about me. I used to keep that book inside my head. Now, it's out there. And it keeps me up some nights...
Cable management at the desktop is pretty simple. But the submitter was asking about MDFs, IDFs, and comm closets. You should really avoid velcro and cable ties there.
Start with good comm layouts. We use 48-port 3750s with a 48-port patch panel right under the switch. Then, 1' CAT-6 cables are used to patch all the drops hot.
If you are stuck with an older layout where switches are in one rack and patch panels are in another, then get some vertical and horizontal cable raceways. I *love* the ones with little plastic "fingers" that have a plastic cap over the front.
Get loads of pre-fab cables in every length you can think of. I find 3', 5', 7', 8', 14', and 20' are most used.
I have tried labeling individual cables, but I found that it's better to have a cut-sheet inside the rack describing the patches. Write this in *pencil*.
RC glider guider here. Most of my flights are between 500' and 1500'; some higher.
I've heard about the FAA/AMA agreement on the 500' limit, but it is *never* enforced. Even at AMA sanctioned events, it's common to see glider LMR contests with every entrant pushing 2000'.
I don't necessarily agree with your "life critical" reasoning.
However, I would like to think that the data on my phone would be encrypted. With Android, it shouldn't be too hard.
Things like date/time of calls and SMS don't need to be protected. Neither would location data. All these things can already be determined from 3rd party sources.
But the contents of my SD card (photos, text of SMS, calendar entries, etc) should be protected inside a TrueCrypt partition and secured with a long password.
Under the UCMJ, he is granted a "speedy trial". They have 120 days from arrest to arraignment.
I have heard the defense is delaying the trial to have Manning evaluated for psych problems.
If the prosecution was delaying the trial, at 120-days the defense would have filed a motion to dismiss and it would, in all likelihood, have been granted.
I think you are confusing age of consent with underage pornography. In GA, the age of consent is 16. However, you can still be charged with possession of sexually explicit images of anyone under the age of 18.

Nice. I've probably installed IOSs compiled by you. It's always nice when the IOS tells you who compiled it at boot time.
Agreed. We see a ton of these in the most unusual places.
At a recent event, we utilized Cisco's Wireless Access Controller. We are an all-Cisco house, so it was an easy choice.

If you are a Mozilla guy (you say *our* users), is there an official 64 bit version for Windows? Linux?
No. See, you aren't thinking like a lawyer. You can patent something IRL. Then get another patent for the same thing by adding "on a computer". Then, get a third patent by saying "on the internet". Maybe a fourth by saying "on a social network".
Maybe your SP is different than ours, but you can open any SP in a Windows Explorer view and see all your files and documents.
Far from locked in.

It may not happen soon enough in the scale that will impact the majority of the people, but it is already happening.

Sure, you'll need the raw material, but we are at the point now where you could "print" an Ikea furniture piece.

He signed a contract. He violated the terms of that contract.
They aren't "persecuting" him, they are prosecuting him.
