Who still uses tape? Seriously, no data centric company on the planet still uses tape, its easier and cheaper to throw a bunch of large drives and a big fat pipe to offsite storage than deal with a tape robot.
People still using tape are doing so because they haven't moved on and like pain or are just ignorant of the alternatives.
U2, sitting innocuously near the bottom of your Artist list, it always syncs and whenever it comes up on random you're reminded yet again to go sort that shit out, but you always forget. And the cycle continues.
... It deletes like everything else in iTunes, if you mean take it out of the iCloud list... You click the X on it in the iCloud list... Just like everything else.
Other than it being added to your account without consent, it's no different than anything else
The solution to his problem is simple. How much is he willing to pay to get this information take down.
Treat others the way you want to be treated and all that. Give him a good dose of his own medicine, except make the cost high enough that he can't pay it, cause lets face it, no one should actually take it down, ever.
Regardless of your intentions, you may be treated as the wrongdoer here
Not likely. Just because you've heard of some idiots who try to pretend they 'just accessed some urls' while stealing and republishing other peoples data doesn't mean that the FBI (who would handle such things) is a bunch of raving nutters.
You're just being silly and making things up. Banks are regulated, they don't get to randomly freeze your account because they feel like it. Stop believing random crap you read on the Internet. The things you've seen reported on slashdot and other places are ALWAYS BS. Not entirely, but the story you hear is HALF the story. Its kind of like car accidents... you can watch someone rear end another car on the street, and then they'll give you a story about how it wasn't their fault and it was the other guys and the give you all the right details to make it sound like they weren't at fault.
Second, freezing your account to prevent you from paying a lawyer will just result in the lawyer filing a motion to get enough money to pay legal fees, and unless you're a complete and total jackass like Kim dotcom asking for millions, you'll get the money to pay your lawyer.
The Russian politician was far from obscure, well known and very vocal as a matter of fact. He was also against Putin and Putin's nut job attempts at bringing back the Cold War. He was someone we like, not someone we'd want to kill.
Your conspiracy theory only makes sense if you know absolutely nothing at all about what's actually going on.
Seagate is correct. Putting a hash on the website doesn't improve security at all because anyone who can change the download can also change the web page containing the hash.
Which is why I always laugh my ass off at all these people who use PGP to sign things and put a hash on the same website you download it from... look you can verify this file you downloaded from the website hasn't changed because theres no way anyone would be smart enough to update the hash as well!
And that my friends is why PGP is effectively useless in the real world unless you physically exchange keys securely.
I'd be shocked if it didn't have remote root holes accessible via network,
Contrary to popular belief, being 'old' does not instantly make you exploitable.
Its not like it runs Oracle Java (maybe it does, maybe it doesn't)
Its probably not LISTENing on the network, in which case its probably fairly safe, how many years has it been since theres been a remote kernel exploit of ANY kind, let alone one that'll get you some sort of access to run code?
Its the first result in the Google search response... at no point have I gotten back a first result for something else when searching for a business, at least not a scam or other illegitimate site.
In case you haven't noticed, many of the original TLDs have names that are meant to redirect people from the legitimate site to a scam, adding more doesn't make it anything new.
I would argue however, if they're going to play these TLD bullshit games, just stop and get rid of the concept of a TLD. Let people register whatever they want except for existing TLDs and move on.
Well, its... a lot more complicated than that, but yes, except no one has made the large touch screen that you plugin to the LAN and it just does that... yet.
Drawing on a computer is far slower than grabbing a marker and doing it on the whiteboard. You ever try writing text with a mouse?
Whiteboards are NOT FOR CODE, I think thats another problem you're having. You draw flowcharts and make notes on the whiteboard, not write down code that then gets transcribed and compiled.
If you can't express the idea in text and text alone, then you haven't broken it down properly
A picture is worth a thousand words, FOR A REASON.
And you're an idiot.
I don't need to write a manuscript to describe an abstract problem when a couple boxes and some lines will do the same thing. That doesn't mean I've given exact specifications for a problem either.
Anyone who has worked with UML and any real programming language will know that this is true. One UML diagram can result in hundreds of thousands of lines of unnecessary Java code.
Anyone who has worked with UML and thinks you convert that to code doesn't understand code, they've just bought into the UML hype (thats still happening? WTF I thought it died 15 years ago). You seem to think the drawing is the code, and again, you're an idiot. The drawing is a way to describe whats happening in an abstract way so others have a general idea of the concept. It IS NOT the code, its abstract logic.
UML and Java... you pretty much showed in that little blurb you're not qualified to be part of this discussion. Go back to being a middle manager who doesn't know anything about software design or actually writing code.
This is not a new question, comes up in my office rather often as we have a lot of teams working from different parts of the world. I'm curious as to see what others have to say myself as we've considered a side project to create a distributed whiteboard that doesn't suck ourselves.
One that shares the display between more than one location, as well as does neat things like letting you export documents from the drawings such as flowcharts and things like that.
Have you tried to get a Windows machine without Windows Media Player?
Whats that? No?
Can you just delete iTunes, which is not integrated with the system and removing it from the system is just a simple matter of deleting the application?
You're seriously trying to compare iTunes to the bullshit that comes on any given Windows machine? That makes you look really really ignorant and/or stupid.
when you're trying to pretend you're in both places at the same time.
Your trying to say its hard to adjust to the Martian day... while still living on Earth and being adjusted to the Earth day.
Thats fucking retarded to say the least. 40 minutes isn't that big of an issue any more than changing a SINGLE timezone is... when you aren't still trying to stay on the old schedule as well.
Rover drivers have the problem of living on Earth, working on Mars... THATs the problem, not the actual extra 40 minutes.
compromised somewhat by the existing manufacturing technologies available.
Yea, like strength of materials... guess what you're not getting out of something 3d printed...
This is a stupid place to use 3d printing.
Its fine research for other things, but turbines aren't so low a volume that it makes sense to print them. They are pretty trivial to make using traditional methods and are easy to make reliable using traditional methods. It is FAR easier to make a safe turbine than it is a V8 internal combustion engine like in most cars, which is why so many aircraft use turbines (excluding situations where piston engines simply don't work)
Which actually means... they haven't produced a 3d printed turbine. They've produced a model of one. Higher quality than I can produce, sure, but not one thats actually any more useful than one I can produce.
This is a really good example of a stupid place to 3d print something, you're not going to get the strength you can get in traditional manufacturing techniques, its going to cost way more and you'll never find anyone with a clue about mechanical engineering trusting his/her life to one.
I was having a discussion with a programmer who is 50 (I'm 38) the other day about the time when you used to be able to write an OS entirely by yourself, and how we both miss that time. It wasn't trivial, but the OS was that small, it could be done. Remember, Linux is just a kernel, not 'an OS', and Linux hasn't been the work of one make for 20 years at this point (Not trying to discount what Linus has done, but he has help:).
Today, if you want to be able to produce useful software with sufficient features for most purposes, you can't write it all yourself. Well you can, but you'll be the last person to bring your 'whatever' to market/public view and they'll be 20 others that have more features and more shiny than you because they relied on some other libraries. A single person isn't making Windows 3.1 or newer in any realisticly useful time frame. Windows 95 is well beyond the scope of one person.
Even a good modern text editor isn't going to be written from scratch, you've just not got the time to write all the basic editor features and things like a regexp engine. Yes, you CAN, but not while staying relevant.
Sure, there are places where you can get by without dependancies or MUST have no dependencies. Embedded work and Cryptography are two things I have experience with where re-implementing the wheel isn't uncommon due to various constraints placed on you. Note: Not reinventing, reimplement
With that said... I'm writing an OS by myself. It will never do anything impressive and no one will ever use it, but it will exist and has already taught me why I hate the x86 processor line in about 18,000 different ways:)
People who are going to actually commit suicide don't talk about it on Facebook, they do it, these people are rarely on Facebook in general. Yes, you hear about some kid once in a while that kills themselves and it gets blamed on Facebook 'bullies', but if someone typing some words causes you to off yourself, you weren't going to last in the real world anyway.
People talking about it on Facebook just seek attention and don't have the courage or conviction to actually do it, nor do they actually want to do it.
Add to that the browser is heavily integrated into the win32s code and you're in for a coding nightmare.
No, it isn't, and it never has been. You utterly fail to understand the 'integration' issue with IE.
IE itself can EASILY be removed from a system. Delete the EXE, done. Its been that way ALWAYS. Even during the court battles.
What you'll have a harder time doing is deleting the trident rendering engine, which MANY applications depend on because it provides a standard interface to providing a HTML renderer. File Explorer renders HTML in process... using the Trident renderer. It doesn't have Trident code in it, it uses the trident ActiveX... just like everything else. Just like many third party apps that wanted to include HTML, because MS made it drop dead easy to include an HTML renderer in an application.
The whole 'separate the browser from the OS' lawsuit was bullshit from the beginning. The IE ActiveX was fairly well documented, Netscape could have trivially made a compatible control that used the Netscrape engine, but the Netscape code was REALLY SHITTY, its a system issue they have which is why Firefox is crap to this day in so many ways.
They were never going to be able to develop for changes as fast as competing browsers with that model and they knew it.
Funny, you've not been paying attention recently have you, they've been doing pretty good. Of course, unlike other browsers who aren't integrated into everything on the system, they do have to consider that they might break everything on the system when doing code changes, unlike say... chrome or firefox who just tell you to go fuck yourself and upgrade everything that uses them, regardless of the fact that you might not have the ability or source code to do so... oh what? You're not using entirely open source software, well then you should definitely go fuck yourself, right?
Just for reference, Apple does essentially the same thing with WebKit on OS X/iOS
As long as they stay dedicated to working with web standards
You do realize that IE 11 more closely adheres to W3C standards that any other rendering engine, right?
Microsoft is a monopoly abusing bunch of pricks who need to be taken out back and shot, but pretty much everything in your post is wrong and easy to verify that its wrong.
There was no firefox with navigator code. It was written from the ground up without it for various copyright reasons. There are some other bits not related to rendering that uses older code from the netscape days such as the NSS library.
The netscape code died with the failed re-write before they went OSS and started over.
And to be clear, being that they kept those same shitty developers, Firefox has all the same crappy code problems as Navigator did. Its slow, bloated and unreliable because its devs care exclusively about the 'new shiny' rather than making an application that doesn't suck ass.
E-Mail needs a complete redo/replacement with hard asymetric encryption and zero-fuss key handling and exchange built in as a core specification.
Its called S/MIME, look it up, expert.
Not all messages need to be encrypted, thats stupid. If you think Fidonet was so awesome compared to SMTP then I'm 100% certain you don't know jack shit about how fidonet or SMTP work under the hood, and I can safely assume this because you also make no actual example of why fidonet is 'better'.
Let me go ahead and quote official fidonet policy, which basically says using encryption is not allowed and that everyone along the path SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO READ EVERY MESSAGE:
2.1.4 Encryption and Review of Mail
FidoNet is an amateur system. Our technology is such that the privacy of messages cannot be guaranteed. As a sysop, you have the right to review traffic flowing through your system, if for no other reason than to ensure that the system is not being used for illegal or commercial purposes. Encryption obviously makes this review impossible. Therefore, encrypted and/or commercial traffic that is routed without the express permission of all the links in the delivery system constitutes annoying behavior. See section 1.3.6 for a definition of commercial traffic.
My GnuPG public key is on my web site (www.andycanfield.com). It is not on any "KeyServer"; I don't believe in key servers, that's just another layer that the hackers can break and the NSA can subvert.
... and so is your website, which is trivial to just MITM, making your PGP key less useful than S/MIME from the instant you started using it, and harder to use for everyone else as well.
The important thing is that PGP is a ***standard***. Any idiot can come up with something better, but he can't make it a standard, so my correspondant on the other end of the wire can't use it.
Uhm, this story is about the fact that no one uses PGP, which means your correspondent on the other end of the wire probably can't use it. Paying attention to the world around you might be helpful.
