Don't even has to call it. You can tell the phone to make a noise that can't be needed.
It's distinctive to the find my iPhone feature, and it is pretty damning.
Remove the sim card. Turn off the phone. How much noise will it make? Then attach it to a laptop with no network, no wifi. Reset the phone with itunes and wipe all data. Will this software still work? I'm curious.
Well, they're pretty good at launching NASA astronauts. In fact, they're the only ones who even CAN.
Not can, but want. The US could just get those space shuttles back from the museum, and get them working again. Takes a year or so, but it is possible, if the willpower is there (a large bucket of money). However, after a year or two, I'm afraid it's a lost option.
But regardless, it's nice to see if it's genuine, I guess we're so used to precisely this type of bullshit in the music and movie industry that it's easy to be cynical, but I guess many tech types in general i.e. Bill Gates also have managed to at least maintain lasting relationships. I guess that's because tech types generally aren't shallow people, they did have to have some semblance of intelligence and rationality to get where they were whilst the same can't be said for actors and musicians I suppose.
Tech types aren't shallow people? That's a big general. To do something like Zuckerberg did is proof of high intelligence, not only in the technical sense, but mostly in a social sense. You have to be a people's manager to get something like this working. You need many skills, technical, social, commercial, and you have to handle all the attention and critique you get. And for that you need a good partner at home, one that supports you and doesn't compete. Not one that gets all attention because she's so pretty, but one that can listen and give advice and doesn't judge. So intelligence on her part is a must. Reasonable good looks help, while it could attract too much attention if she is too good looking for him, and for ugly it works the same. That is competition that works against the partnership.
Isn't it the same as a excell sheet with a master password on it?
(Ok, keepass is way cheaper than a excell sheet)
I wouldn't know if it's more secure. Do you trust MS on this? Do they have a backdoor? Okay, keepass could have a backdoor as well.
Keepass is better because it's designed for it. It has a password generation tool, and it has some handy options. You have a list of keys, possibly organized in folders. If you open a list, you can set KP to not display usernames and/or passwords. So if someone is looking over your shoulder, they cannot see your password. CTRL-C and you copy your password, and then you can paste it into a password field on a website. CTRL-B copies your username. CTRL-V enters username and password in web forms that only have those two fields. Sometimes it doesn't work, but if it does it's simple and great.
I love having the password on my monitor. However I didn't like the appearance of all those Post-it notes stuck to it. So instead I changed all my passwords to "Samsung".
Better still, I keep my DB on Dropbox, so it is available anywhere I go - no need to carry USB pen drive.
I keep a master keepass file at my laptop. When I change it, I copy it to my dropbox folder, and there I even make two copies, one to my shared folder, which is shared with my work dropbox account. That means it is synced to my work computer as well. At work I use a different keepass database, and copy that to the same shared folder. I even sync it to the phone via dropbox, but on the phone I rarely update dropbox files. That means I have an old version of the database there. That isn't a big problem though. For most of what I need it's sufficient. When at work, I don't change the home master db, or I make a copy with a different name.
It turns out that if you know that the mailing list doesn't suffer fools, you work that little bit harder to write a sensible mail.
You double check everything and make sure you read the docs. This catches many of the bugs initially and then you don't need to post in the first place. If it doesn't fix the problem, it gives the mailing list inhabitants a good indication of what the problem is.
To me it seems unbelievible rude to ask some of the world experts for a bit of their time to help without bothering to check the things that you need help on. I just don't understand how most other people don't also see this as rude.
This is my experience as well. When I ask a question online, I always try as many solutions as I can think of before asking. And I mention those attempts as well, so people see that I'm serious and take the time for it. Doing this I have solved many problems myself before it came to an online post...
The fucking hypocrisy. The same newspaper that uses the third page as a beacon of nudity. Why do our MP's even want to hear what she has to say? Britain is screwed.
That's a good one! Why do your MP's even want to hear her? Probably because they are chosen by the same people that read the Sun. Those MP's probably even read the Sun themselves. We have the same going on here in the Netherlands with Geert Wilders and the PVV. It's populisme all over. They just shout out what will get them into the news, no matter if it contradicts whatever they shouted the day before. And the media? They love it! They make it frontpage news, even the "quality" newspapers.
You can only slow it down as this train is being driven by the federal government with virtually unlimited power, money, and time.. All this stuff ( and more ) will eventually pass and our digital freedom goes out the door.
Just a matter of time. Enjoy it while it lasts.
I just read an article in the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant about a 17 year old that hacked into the Netherlands biggest phone provider. He tells about two FBI officers being permanently stationed at the Dutch national cybercrime team. He tells it as if it helps the Dutch, but I'm pretty sure it will help the US more. "Our" digital freedom? Even in the EU - it's gone!
I've missed my tape drive! My TR-3 1.6/3.2 circa 1996, was plenty for the hard drives available at time and pretty much a requirement for Windows 95 considering how often it killed itself, but within just a few years the hard drives far exceeded the capacity of tape. Fortunately by then Windows 2000 was out and life has been good since.
Maybe not, but the Prosecutor General of Finland might. You know, given Nokia is headquartered in Finland and all..
There's a good chance that the dude is right now enjoying his evening read of Helsingin Sanomat on his Lumia 800, which is selling like hodareita in Finland.
Hodareita - you need to picture that for the slashdot crowd! And then think about that phone again!
Can we please go back to decent central funding of scientific endeavour - particularly in space - rather than all this stupid pet projects from people who got lucky and have more money than sense? The Soviets dragged themselves from backwater feudal estate to technocratic superpower in 20 years - and China similarly - because they understood the value of education and science. They didn't think that "the market" would advance them.
Traveling faster than light - think about that! With one-click of course, the books are here before you know it. That would advance science and generate money for his business as well.

I'm kinda conflicted - is this off-topic or on-topic?
I think you would be an excellent judge for next years competition.
Touchscreen just broke on my damned phone. Maybe if I drive over there they can tell me who these last 4 texts are from.
Your mom, you mom, your mom and your mom: please come up for dinner and for once stop with that damned computer of yours!
Mathematically, that could be just 2 or 3
Logically, it would mean more than 1.4 million.
Is it more secure?

But what if you buy another monitor?
I keep it on a USB drive.
Better still, I keep my DB on Dropbox, so it is available anywhere I go - no need to carry USB pen drive.

Just use an Apple! Yeah I know, apples and oranges and stuff...

From the perspective of a vi user, an emacs user is a superior fool.
FTFY!

I have a much harder time working out why Ashton is revered!
Why he is revered, is that so difficult? Why he is chosen is maybe a bit more obvious after seeing this...

Those were the days, with that annoying sound of the cassette player loading your program.
Sure, it reinserts itself, but when it's finished does it take itself out, flip it to the other side, and then reinsert itself again?
Like the Nakamichi tapedecks from the 80s?
I don't know about prosecuting him, but what I can't understand is why haven't they fired him yet?
Because they are afraid and without vision.
Maybe not, but the Prosecutor General of Finland might. You know, given Nokia is headquartered in Finland and all..

Someone please explain the usefulness of taping a phone to the ceiling to me.
It is there to hide it from Inspecteur Clouseau!

This is complete nonsense.
So what you say is complete nonsense? Strange that is hasn't been modded insightful yet!
As far as rich guys hobbies go, this is way cooler than buying a fighter jet or trying to get a monopoly on fighting HIV in Africa.
But not quite as cold as planning on retiring to Mars.
Fixed that for you!
How do you know they don't have the decryption keys at the destination?
Because I'm using my own private key to encrypt the data. Research is your friend: http://support.crashplan.com/doku.php/articles/encryption_key?s%5B%5D=encryption
There's no guarantee that the key is not uploaded at some point. It's less than 1kb in size.
I...I am not even sure what say to that...

What if it's a genuine 19" rack?
