All my modern hardware will have no problem with this change.
I have older hardware and software that simply doesn't know anything about SHA-2 and never will. Should that hardware stop functioning just because Google thinks that pulling down weather forecasts requires perfectly secure SSL connections?
Changing oil and timing belts don't obsolete the car, and they wear out. Software doesn't wear out, but for some reason we get forced into upgrades that INTENTIONALLY OBSOLETE FUNCTIONAL SOFTWARE... and thats what I'm bitching about.
Just because you picked a nick that revolves around Microsoft doesn't mean my concerns have anything to do with MS, and indeed they don't. I could give a fuck what MS does.
And no, I won't install Linux just because you think I need an inferior experience. You assume Linux runs on my AVRs... which it does not, just like SHA-2 doesn't, because there isn't enough CPU to do this shit in real time... and I have many deployed with wiznet chips that do the TCP part... including SSL... and guess what... linux doesn't run on them either, so fuck you and your linux fanboyism:)
Anything I have that will run Linux is capable of running FreeBSD so you won't catch me dead running Linux, and anything I have that isn't capable of running FBSD isn't capable of running Linux either, or Windows for that matter, so basically, STFU since you don't have any clue why I care.
Luddite, heh, do you even understand what the word means because you sure don't act like it.
The best way to deal with terrorism is to neglect them totally. Don't let them on TV or radio, or Internet. Fight them behind the curtains.
You must be an out of work journalist with this sort of common sense. No one will hire you I'm sure.
The reason we have 'so many' school shootings these days is not because we actually have more (statistically, we don't actually) its because they are all televised, some of them nearly fucking live... because the news media now days has to have us hanging on ever breaking peep about this shit.
So you take people who want attention... then give them wild amounts of attention... and then they are shocked when the next emotionally disturbed guy who... WANTS ATTENTION goes on a shooting rampage...
The news media is the problem. Though you seem to actually have a brain, so keep up the good fight but good luck, you'll need it.
Without some kind of incremental snapshot, with read-only privileges after the snapshot, straight replication is next to useless if someone does "rm -rf/". And it happens *all the time*.
So... zfs covers that... since it does exactly what you suggest.
Sure, if you can afford to buy 3 times as much disk
What? If you want mirroring or RAID like qualities, yes, you need to duplicate data, thats true of any mechanism like this... you do realize thats what things like NetApp do too... right, just mirroring or raid?
and roughly 10 times as much network bandwidth as you ever really process with,
... this makes no sense? How does the network come into play here? You're just making random shit up?
ZFS is nice if you can afford one sys-admin/Terabyte of data to try to keep it up to date, but it's just not been stable.
The company I work at rolls over roughly 50tb of data PER DAY, several petabytes worth... in ZFS...
You'll have to pardon me if I doubt some random Anonymous Coward spewing clear ignorance has any idea what 'stable' is after making such stupid statements.
ZFS replication is for synchronizing file system snapshots. rsync is for syncing some files.
Entirely different purposes even if they seem the same.
ZFS encapsulates the entire storage channel. It is your volume manager all the way to your file system. It knows of every single change that occurs, when and where it occurs and what it changed. Sending a ZFS snapshot gets not only the snapshot being sent, but every one in between. ZFS does deduplication, compression, checksumming, and the snapshots stores every file system attribute that exists, be it simple permissions or full ACLs or other extended attributes. ZFS replication is a disaster recovery feature.
Rsync is a way to keep a couple directories synced up, and in doing so requires reading the data in question multiple times for every time you want to sync unless you cheat and only look at file sizes and times, which will miss plenty of things.
Rsync hashs files for compares and then copies the file.
ZFS replication makes block for block copies of the file system data based on changes that it KNOWS existed. It doesn't have to find changes, it KNOWS the changes.
You can make a script that will wrap rsync in some of these features, but you will never get anywhere near ZFS replication.
ZFS snapshot send a 25TB drive with millions of images and files and only a handful of tiny changes... it'll occur in minutes.
Rsync will take weeks.
You can not 'build these features' into rsync for all sorts of reasons, some of which involve around essentially recreating something like the work ZFS does... but doing it everytime you run rsync, which would be painfully slow. rsync can not accomplish what ZFS does because it does not know the information required to do so and it can not know the information required to do so unless it happens to be running on top of ZFS where it can query for that information and... at that point, its painfully inefficient compared to zfs send.
If you rm -rf/mntpoint on the source dir: with rsync: On next sync, if you have delete enabled, you've lost all your files with zfs: the next snapshot transferred will remove the files... of course, they'll still be on both the source and destination hosts in any previous snapshots so rollbacks are trivial.
This is an example of why Linux fails as a desktop.
One guy in the middle of some podunk area of South Asia who doesn't want to make any money at all can turn out an insanely stupid and insanely popular game in a couple weeks by himself.
You've got '10 years' and its on 0.4 and hardly any fun at all...
Open Source games are going to fail repeatedly. Artists who do the actual meat of games are not stupid enough to work on YOUR GAME for free. Without artists and story tellers guiding your way, your design by committee games are going to continue to suck. You can't just hack shit together to make a work of art.
We've been bullied by people telling us they are making changes for our own good for years. You aren't the first, Microsoft wasn't either but they are the most recent example on your scale.
You'll become irrelevant too if you keep pushing shit that people don't like.
You want to promote better security, I'm right there with you.
You want to cut off older technology, using security as an excuse for forced upgrades... well, you can go fuck yourself.
So you gave them a game that showed food and let them play for a while, then put a bowl of candy in front of them... and they ate the candy...
So... just curious, have you ever put a bowl of candy in front of a kid and they DIDN'T EAT IT?
Yea, thats what I thought. Kids eat candy when given the opportunity, film at 11, big break through in child psychology!@$!@$!@$
You could have saved yourself the study and just asked any parent. Of course, these are the people who will immediately tell me how to raise my child because 'they've studied it' yet none of them will be socially capable of forming a relationship long enough to actually have one of their own.
Other amazing nuggets from the study:
Fat kids like to eat Showing kids food makes them want to eat (If only someone had made a dog salivate or something as a test sometime in the past we would have figured this out sooner!) Advertising works when done properly
God damn, I wished I had some common sense in a can, I could have saved you a fuckton of money and time and you wouldn't have been contributing to the problem with your retarded study
Real numbers of course... Which is why I worry more about being hit by lightening than I do any form of gunshot.
P.S. I don't worry about lightening... Not really sure why you're trying to imply either one of those things is likely to actually happen to you... Perhaps it's because you don't actually know jack shit about the statistics and your just buying into the bullshit the media sells just like the guy your pretending is being ridiculous.
Your both paranoid nut hubs from where I'm standing, pretty ignorant too. But you guys go ahead and blame gun control and not the sensationalizing media for your fear.
By making such an ignorant statement against such a large and diverse group of people you are in fact behaving exactly like the behavior you're pretending to condemn.
You're just another prejudice prick who thinks by projecting your prejudice else where no one will notice your own issue.
Sorry to inform you but that only works if you're surrounded by people as ignorant as yourself... Which is not the case here, even Timothy and Bennett probably out class you by an order of magnitude and they're fucking stupid.
I love the ultra liberal morons like you, so prejudice and yet the only one you fool is yourself and other equally stupid prejudice fucks just like yourself.
They already get a cut, its the rent they are already getting paid.
If they want a 'cut' of the Air BNB revenue than they should have put the property on AirBNB themselves, and dealt with the risk of not having a solid income that doesn't depend on random people booking the property like the person who is currently paying you... even if no one bothers to rent from AirBNB.
Any land lord that think they get more needs to be taken out back and shot in the face repeatedly, along with the cable and telecom people who pull this same sort of shit.
YOU GOT PAID WHEN YOU RENTED THE PROPERTY THE FIRST TIME ASSHOLES, FUCK OFF.
Charge more for the property or put no-sublet clause in the lease. You made your bed, fucking sleep in it.
The ideacthat there are to many people is an american urban legend.
No, it isn't.
Without oil we could not produce enough food for any first world nation on the planet, and I'm only talking about the required fertilizer, forgetting the entire rest of the chain.
We can not survive at the rate we are consuming resources our population WILL shrink unless we find alternatives. Modern cities are 100% completely unsustainable and ridiculously wasteful when you look at intelligently. They can not exist without oil for many reasons, not just shipping. Disease without modern (read: oil based) medicines would be rampant, electricity would be short since we don't power ALL our nation from coal or nukes, and since people refuse to allow nukes, we'd go to coal... which isn't going to last forever either, not like its forming as fast as we dig it out of the ground.
Our population density is WAY too high, ridiculously beyond whats seen ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE ANIMAL KINGDOM.
By every measure, if we looked at people the same way we look at say... rats... the entire world would be losing their shit at the plague of rats.
We only ignore our own destruction of the planet because we refuse to acknowledge that we're a pest to the planet.
Oh... and any grocery store that throws away '50%' of its shit... is a store thats going to be out of business in a couple months so that one probably really isn't that big of a concern, it won't last long enough to waste much.
You do realize that if the road gets wiped out while they are trying to decommission the plant... they'll just build one on a bridge, right? As a Floridian, you're probably aware of just how good Florida's construction crews are at rebuilding after the REGULAR hurricanes and tropical that come pretty much every year...
Building roads and bridges is pretty trivial and cheap compared to decommissioning a nuclear power station. And do you know how they brought a lot of the construction materials to the site... probably by barge actually (thats what happened at the Crystal River plant)
And decommissioning takes years because its cheaper to wait out certain things than to deal with them while hot. You have to shut the planet down, get it into cold shutdown (no need for active cooling measures), remove the fuel, then wait for all that shit to 'cool down' radioactively enough that it doesn't require robots to work on it. During that time you go tear down all the other crap thats not radioactive and wait for 10 years. Then you come back and get the rest of it with men in some radiation suites that cost about 1000 times less than trying to do it with the robots you'd have had to design, build and use if you tried to do it immediately after shutdown.
But to answer you actual question.
Yes, thats all been thought of, before the plant was even built, its all part of the initial environmental studies and is public record if you really want to go digging for it. At one point Looked up all that information for the Crystal River plant, so unless the state was thinking completely differently between the studies for the two stations we're referring to, yes, they've thought of all that already. It might no longer apply (environment changes, hence this discussion), but its been considered.
We can move them. Yes, it would suck complete and total ass and be ridiculously expensive and environmentally dangerous, but the sea doesn't rise over night without an Earth quake so in the many many many years while the water is creeping up the shoreline towards the plant... we can decommission it and move the dangerous bits to higher ground.
Well, in theory we can... unfortunately the utterly retarded NIMBY anti-nuke crowd will ensure that instead we'll leave it right where it is cause god fucking forbid some accident might happen... and instead we'll just let it pollute thousands of square miles of sea and destroy our food stocks instead... because thats way better than moving some dangerous materials in a controlled and actually very safe method.
So you either move it and don't tell anyone, so that NIMBY morons don't have a chance to stand in the way of the trucks doing the moving (which makes it way more fucking dangerous!) before you get it to higher ground. Remember these are the same morons who would swallow coal dust and get cancer for sure rather than take the risk that if they hang out at the nuclear plant after a major disaster they might have a slightly higher chance of thyroid cancer... that can't be proven scientifically anyway.
Besides... nuclear reactors are water tight from the start, at ridiculously high pressures, if you get them into a cold shutdown state, you can just leave them under water for centuries without anything actually happening. Put a concrete sarcophagus around it so that nothing can easily damage it and forget about it. By the time it actually starts leaking it will have decayed to something we don't care about nearly as much.
I would say that the original response to DataBreach was probably shear ignorance. It was probably a response written by someone non-technical that doesn't understand that it wasn't DataBreach that did the deed, but rather they discovered and were notifying them.
Look at the way the HIV site reacted. Seems pretty clear that the original response was an angry/hurt reaction and the apology likely occurred after someone technical pointed out what was actually going on.
Admittedly, I didn't read the article, but I'm guilty of that sort of response and the later discovery that your hurt/angry response was directed at the wrong person and having to go back and say sorry about it...
Netscape has never been able to actually pay attention to what the users of its browser want. The new netscape, which you kids know as mozilla, is behaving 100% EXACTLY like the old Netscape...
Firefox stopped being the best browser right about the time ie6 was deprecated. Yes, IE sucks, but FF sucks more actually.
This is all simply an extension of their inability to write a browser.
Not that they don't have some talented developers, they do... but they just let them do whatever they want and have no focus on actually delivering something users want, so they keep coming up with all these retarded silly side projects and all these retarded bloated 'features' in firefox... its only taken them 15 years to realize doing everything in XPCOM and JavaScript was a fucking stupid idea.
Yea, because we want laggy desktop sessions... NoMachine is for linux fanboys who can't be bothered to use a real remote desktop client, if you think VNC is good, you're sorely out of touch. VNC is shitty, whats worse is the idiots who do X over VNC instead of using the X protocol... I think you know them as... NoMachine? Yea, thats right. All they did was take two systems capable of network display... and replacing it with a shitty protocol.
Your shitty notebook from 10 years ago didn't fit in your pocket and function as a phone. And do you think you're impressive because you had a laptop 10 years ago? I had luggable's 20 years ago, does that make my dick bigger than yours? Probably not.
If I can pull my phone out and plug it in to a keyboard/mouse/monitor(s) and it function like my desktop that would be freaking awesome, because my phone fits in my pocket, is always with me, and I don't notice that I'm lugging it around.
But I don't want a desktop UI on my phone, that fucking sucks, I had that 15 years ago with WinCE.
I don't want a shitty tablet/phone UI on my desktop. I can do that now with Android, its shit.
But if I can pull my phone out, hook it up and run real desktop apps, I'll switch to Windows Mobile so fast the length of the day will change.
No, fanboys, Android can not do that because there isn't a single Android app that does anything useful for me from a desktop perspective. iOS can't do it because Apple flat out said they have no interest in doing it, which sucks because I prefer an iOS / OS X style of thing so I could have a real UNIX... but if Microsoft does it, then Microsoft will have another customer because I care about computers doing what I want and being useful to me... where as you seem to just be an ignorant fanboy.
There is no device on the market that does what the GP refers to, I know, I've been looking for one since iPhones got fast enough to do some real desktop (minor) work. There are some android based wanna-be's but they run neither OS X or Windows apps, so they are 100% useless to me since I need at least ONE of those for my job.
I want only a phone. And my phone is also my PC. I don't want to carry a shitty laptop around even if you think that makes you super cool.
If the dude is asking on slashdot how to store his email... that he's been using 'since the 90s'... trying to get him to understand imap now is probably a waste of time.
If he was capable of setting up an imap server, he never would have asked the question.
If you think the Ewoks or JarJar are what make or break the movies then you need to get out and enjoy the real world... Take something for your silly hang ups on unimportant bits of a story, and to put it bluntly, get a fucking life, it's just a couple movies guys... If those are the things you get hung up on then you've utterly missed the forest for the trees
... My 250s would have no problem reaching several thousand feet. I know this because it takes about 20 seconds to shoot past the existing 400ft maximum and by that point the have a vertical speed of over 1k feet/minute (max I can monitor) and they have a solid 5 minutes of full power flight after that.
You have no idea what can be done with these things. If I put another battery on it, they'd be over 250'grams, but I bet I could easily get it to controlled airspace at 10k feet msl. (Where aircraft fly at 250 knots or more, jet powered aircraft)
No, it allows them to find the person it's registered too. That has absolutely zero to do with who flew it... Just like it's not the registered gun owner that shoots people, it's the guy who steels the registered handgun.
Are you that fucking stupid that you think the retards that are ALREADY BREAKING THE LAW BY FLYING NEAR CROWDS AND OTHER GROUPS OF PEOPLE are going to register?
Too stupid to know they shouldn't fly in obviously dangerous areas but sure, they will fill out the paperwork... Just like the MURCAN TERRORST.

But to answer you actual question.
Yes, thats all been thought of, before the plant was even built, its all part of the initial environmental studies and is public record if you really want to go digging for it. At one point Looked up all that information for the Crystal River plant, so unless the state was thinking completely differently between the studies for the two stations we're referring to, yes, they've thought of all that already. It might no longer apply (environment changes, hence this discussion), but its been considered.
We can move them. Yes, it would suck complete and total ass and be ridiculously expensive and environmentally dangerous, but the sea doesn't rise over night without an Earth quake so in the many many many years while the water is creeping up the shoreline towards the plant ... we can decommission it and move the dangerous bits to higher ground.
Well, in theory we can ... unfortunately the utterly retarded NIMBY anti-nuke crowd will ensure that instead we'll leave it right where it is cause god fucking forbid some accident might happen ... and instead we'll just let it pollute thousands of square miles of sea and destroy our food stocks instead ... because thats way better than moving some dangerous materials in a controlled and actually very safe method.
So you either move it and don't tell anyone, so that NIMBY morons don't have a chance to stand in the way of the trucks doing the moving (which makes it way more fucking dangerous!) before you get it to higher ground. Remember these are the same morons who would swallow coal dust and get cancer for sure rather than take the risk that if they hang out at the nuclear plant after a major disaster they might have a slightly higher chance of thyroid cancer ... that can't be proven scientifically anyway.
Besides ... nuclear reactors are water tight from the start, at ridiculously high pressures, if you get them into a cold shutdown state, you can just leave them under water for centuries without anything actually happening. Put a concrete sarcophagus around it so that nothing can easily damage it and forget about it. By the time it actually starts leaking it will have decayed to something we don't care about nearly as much.
I would say that the original response to DataBreach was probably shear ignorance. It was probably a response written by someone non-technical that doesn't understand that it wasn't DataBreach that did the deed, but rather they discovered and were notifying them.
Look at the way the HIV site reacted. Seems pretty clear that the original response was an angry/hurt reaction and the apology likely occurred after someone technical pointed out what was actually going on.
Admittedly, I didn't read the article, but I'm guilty of that sort of response and the later discovery that your hurt/angry response was directed at the wrong person and having to go back and say sorry about it ...
Netscape has never been able to actually pay attention to what the users of its browser want. The new netscape, which you kids know as mozilla, is behaving 100% EXACTLY like the old Netscape ...
Firefox stopped being the best browser right about the time ie6 was deprecated. Yes, IE sucks, but FF sucks more actually.
This is all simply an extension of their inability to write a browser.
Not that they don't have some talented developers, they do ... but they just let them do whatever they want and have no focus on actually delivering something users want, so they keep coming up with all these retarded silly side projects and all these retarded bloated 'features' in firefox ... its only taken them 15 years to realize doing everything in XPCOM and JavaScript was a fucking stupid idea.
Yea, because we want laggy desktop sessions ... NoMachine is for linux fanboys who can't be bothered to use a real remote desktop client, if you think VNC is good, you're sorely out of touch. VNC is shitty, whats worse is the idiots who do X over VNC instead of using the X protocol ... I think you know them as ... NoMachine? Yea, thats right. All they did was take two systems capable of network display ... and replacing it with a shitty protocol.
No, moron, you utterly missed the fucking point.
Your shitty notebook from 10 years ago didn't fit in your pocket and function as a phone. And do you think you're impressive because you had a laptop 10 years ago? I had luggable's 20 years ago, does that make my dick bigger than yours? Probably not.
If I can pull my phone out and plug it in to a keyboard/mouse/monitor(s) and it function like my desktop that would be freaking awesome, because my phone fits in my pocket, is always with me, and I don't notice that I'm lugging it around.
But I don't want a desktop UI on my phone, that fucking sucks, I had that 15 years ago with WinCE.
I don't want a shitty tablet/phone UI on my desktop. I can do that now with Android, its shit.
But if I can pull my phone out, hook it up and run real desktop apps, I'll switch to Windows Mobile so fast the length of the day will change.
No, fanboys, Android can not do that because there isn't a single Android app that does anything useful for me from a desktop perspective. iOS can't do it because Apple flat out said they have no interest in doing it, which sucks because I prefer an iOS / OS X style of thing so I could have a real UNIX ... but if Microsoft does it, then Microsoft will have another customer because I care about computers doing what I want and being useful to me ... where as you seem to just be an ignorant fanboy.
There is no device on the market that does what the GP refers to, I know, I've been looking for one since iPhones got fast enough to do some real desktop (minor) work. There are some android based wanna-be's but they run neither OS X or Windows apps, so they are 100% useless to me since I need at least ONE of those for my job.
I want only a phone. And my phone is also my PC. I don't want to carry a shitty laptop around even if you think that makes you super cool.
If the dude is asking on slashdot how to store his email ... that he's been using 'since the 90s' ... trying to get him to understand imap now is probably a waste of time.
If he was capable of setting up an imap server, he never would have asked the question.
If you think the Ewoks or JarJar are what make or break the movies then you need to get out and enjoy the real world ... Take something for your silly hang ups on unimportant bits of a story, and to put it bluntly, get a fucking life, it's just a couple movies guys ... If those are the things you get hung up on then you've utterly missed the forest for the trees
... My 250s would have no problem reaching several thousand feet. I know this because it takes about 20 seconds to shoot past the existing 400ft maximum and by that point the have a vertical speed of over 1k feet/minute (max I can monitor) and they have a solid 5 minutes of full power flight after that.
You have no idea what can be done with these things. If I put another battery on it, they'd be over 250'grams, but I bet I could easily get it to controlled airspace at 10k feet msl. (Where aircraft fly at 250 knots or more, jet powered aircraft)
No, it allows them to find the person it's registered too. That has absolutely zero to do with who flew it ... Just like it's not the registered gun owner that shoots people, it's the guy who steels the registered handgun.
Are you that fucking stupid that you think the retards that are ALREADY BREAKING THE LAW BY FLYING NEAR CROWDS AND OTHER GROUPS OF PEOPLE are going to register?
Too stupid to know they shouldn't fly in obviously dangerous areas but sure, they will fill out the paperwork ... Just like the MURCAN TERRORST.
Or, do just like I will, not register and fly anyway.
No one is going to register, this is a publicity play on the way to an outright ban, when no one registers, they'll use that as an excuse.
