Physical backups are are a waste of time. Just keep everything digital and sync over the net. You can use encryption to ensure that everything is safe.
Get yourself a 3 disk array, RAID it and put everything on it. Have the RAID array encrypt everything and sync it to 2 seperate cloud storage providers. If in the event that your local copy burns down you can pull copies from online storage. Otherwise it's at your finger tips whenever you need it.
If you think that you must store it offsite make sure when you create the disks you setup parity files so if some of the files are corrupt you can recover. Par2 files work a treat for this.
I'm so glad to be living in Australia at this time.
Last week we get news that the government is forcing all ISP's to retain metadata information for all usage by all subscribers 'coz of terrorists'. Now we get news that the current data ISP's have, which is only supposed to be used for billing issues, is being used to identify and sue subscribers who had their IP in a torrent tracker 2 years ago!. No Movie studio my IP appearing in a tracker doesn't mean that I'm downloading or seeding your video. It just means someone possibly is using my IP to view who else is connected to that tracker. Or maybe the tracker randomly puts generated ips in the list to mess with you. Or maybe I allow my neighbors to use my internet or the public as they walk their dogs in a nearby park. Should I be held liable for them viewing publicly accessible information (the torrents tracker list)? Or should torrent tracker administrators be suing you for stealing their customer information? Couldn't this be considered hacking (accessing unauthorized information?)?
I hope this keeps up. Next week we will all be hearing about how to access the internet you must use your australia.gov login.
I created a easter egg in a piece of software i wrote for a client after they hired me to fix a backend problem. It causes a pie symbol to appear on their webpage and when you click on it and enter in some special key strokes it allows entry into the system by passing their 'Gatekeeper' authentication system. Problem is now I'm on the run and the FBI is hunting me.
A bank is a financial intermediary and money creator that creates money by lending money to a borrower, thereby creating a corresponding deposit on the bank's balance sheet.
Paypal is definitely a financial intermediary but they aren't a money creator. Thus they aren't a Bank.
With Virtualization you should have no real need to do server upgrades out of hours. If you need to upgrade a package/service on offer you should just spin up a brand new instance, have some type of automation piece install and configure everything that the instance needs, have some auto testing application confirm that it's all added, then just add the instance to the load balancer, and decommission the old instance. No more out of hours work unless dealing with hardware issues and with HA these issues usually can be dealt with during business hours. If you are restricted by a limit on resources you should at least be using products like Docker or Solaris Zones to isolate guests from the core OS and separate out application vs core OS needs (the bulk of change usually happens in the application layer so this seperation again means less downtime out of hours). Need to update the hyper visor? live migrate the guests to another piece of hardware and do the maintenance again during business hours. If you don't have the budget you can always spin these kinda solutions up. (DRBD/KVM work a treat). Or as others have said host everything in the cloud.
Check out the status page... I don't see any phone that they support that they have everything working.. hardly 4.2 release.. more like 0.0.42 release... Why would i spend $1000 on a phone for it to only be able to send sms and call.. 2D graphics, 3D graphics, Sound, Telephony, Mobile data, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, GPS, Sensors, Camera and Hardware media encoding/decoding all need to be working before anybody would bother with non-manufacture software.. also anyone who stores sensitive information on a phone without encryption is asking for trouble..
Err no he's a traitor because he gave a oath to serve the NSA.. no matter how you cut it he wasn't just a random dude off the street who happened upon a bag of goodies and is now handing them out... he took a oath to protect the bag..
besides it's all pointless banter.. snowden is a CIA Triple Agent http://www.salon.com/2013/06/1...

Because so many countries are declaring that bitcoin isn't a currency and should be viewed as an asset (thus falling under capital gains) does a police seizure of bitcoin mean that they will end up at a police auction?
Normally people buy flying toys from China and are happy to have them land without crashing.
China brought a really big toy from Russia and was happy to not crash it.
I think more congratulations should be directed to Russia than China. Russia has a thriving space program even if it is via proxy. Maybe America needs to take a page out of Russia's book and licence more tech to places like China to allow them to continue space exploration while America seems to lack the will. At least then if something does go wrong America could learn from it but be able to point fingers at China saying it was really their fault. Beta testing at it's finest.
This is nothing more than a cheap way to get publicity. Why do people keep falling for it. Amazon has no real intention to use the drones but just like Dominoes it puts together a puff piece of the 'News' outlets so it can advertise itself to new markets.
This is the same deal as the Ubuntu phone. It was nothing more than advertising and yet people lap it up thinking this brave new world is coming and it's being flown in by magical techno trumpet playing cherubs...
It works. Has good basic functionality. Allows good review markup. And importantly everyone knows how to use it.
Once the document is written I print it as a PDF and link to that PDF on a wiki for sharing.
Burn me now?
Some in turbans would argue that the west never had freedoms to begin with.. the 'war on terror' was just a method to highlight this hoping that the people would rise up themselves.. scarey to think that the taliban might be a vehicle to free you from your repressors.. the problem is if we all throw off the 'shackles' of capitalism what new overlord could possibly fill that gap...
So big corporate will start using SSL for everything.. so? All it'll take is 1 email from and the ssl keys to unlock all that data will be sent with no one allowed to talk about it.
What we need is a method to encrypt sessions using 2048+ encryption that even with the private key of a server you wont be able to decrypt and we need to get rid of expensive 3rd party key signers so that everyone uses it. If people didn't have to pay $300US to have a certificate signed then maybe every computer on a network would get ssl keys, rather than a single SSL decrypter on the border of the network.
Yes and we should all have a global government. Maybe instead of having global trademarks companies could start focusing on the needs of separate market and bring products that are customized for the needs of the people that want to use it. At least this way they would have a reason to charge different amounts.
With the premise of a MMO always adding new content and 'never getting old' I totally understand why people pay for MMO access (i used to be a great warcraft fan) but when the first expansion came out a little question was raised in my mind. Why is Blizzard charging me a extra lump of money so I can play new content? Isn't the monthly subscription i pay meant to cover the costs of delivering new content? I pushed these thoughts out of my mind when i thought how long warcraft had been around before TBC came out. But when blizzard announced a 2nd expansion not too long after I decided enough was enough and stopped my subscription. With the structure of the expansions it's impossible to play the game without getting the expansion and I was sick of paying a monthly subscription for a game that didn't deliver new content but instead forced you to buy another game to continue.
Am i alone in my thoughts? Have other players decided that enough is enough and quit playing because of this?
I've been thinking about this for awhile and would like to save a copy of all staff email 'just in case'. Rather than sticking it all in spool files and it not being that useful i'd like to allow 'admin' staff to be able to browse/search mail boxes.
I'm not really interesting in
I remember a program called 'lurker' (http://lurker.sourceforge.com) from a few years back that would be perfect for this but it seems the development for this has ended (last updated in 2006). Can anyone here recommend something that could be able to cope with a hell of alot of email?
When did slashdot become a forum to ask these kinda questions?
Apple->System Preferences->Keyboard&Mouse->Keyboard Shortcuts
I assume your going to use a lot more windows/linux PC's than Mac if your a new mac user and if your too lazy to learn to use different key strokes in windows/linux to your new mac it's probably better to change the mac and leave everyone else's key bindings alone. Also why suddenly do something the new way when you can keep doing stuff the old?

Anyone know a decent VPN service that doesn't require some silly non-standards client to be installed on the desktop for it to function?

I can get linux security updates for free
Kinda! Using Redhat as an example they have a limit on how long they will support a release. Even Extended life support has limits..
They forgot to include: 'Take a lead pipe and break bones of the victim until he gives you access to his encrypted data'
