One of the reports we were given has stated that the DSL modem variant of the DNSChanger Zlob trojan actually updates the firmware and it will effectively brick the modem when the FBI shuts its servers down.
Oh, thanks, that explains the 28 updates to all my Google Play apps that appeared out of nowhere and killed my tablet productivity this week. I can't wait to see what my data plan charges will be as a result of this update.
It really does matter for the underserved internet community who rely on affordable and sometimes outdated DSL modems for their access to the internet in rural areas. Many of these DSL modems have been infected by a scary variant of the DNSChanger Zlob trojan that actually changes the DSL modem's DNS settings and changes the DSL modem's password to an unguessable value. The most detrimental effect of this infection is a virtually irreversible firmware change in an unknown but probably high number of DSL modems worldwide which are permanently affixed to the rogue DNS servers, now siezed and run by the FBI as clean, boring caching DNS servers. They will be shut down July 9 because the FBI doesn't want to be an ISP, which has the effect of cutting off an unknown number of people from the internet.
It's not a small problem. It's a big problem. The cost of help desk calls alone will be devastating to the disadvantaged and underserved internet community, i.e., rural America, who may be using the affected DSL modems infected by this Zlob trojan variant.
The most important note you must realize about this problem is that DNSChanger actually changed the DNS servers on the DSL modem. Just in case you don't realize this: the DSL modem provides the DNS server info to the computer in the home. While the computer may no longer be infected, the DSL modem is configured to use the DNSChanger rogue DNS servers which the FBI siezed and will shut down on July 9.
It's a really big deal and we should treat it like that.
The earbuds that came with the Zune HD were and still are the best padded earbuds I've ever owned. The second best were the earbuds that came with XM MyFi portable satellite radio.
Despite searching for years I have never found the OEM for these two models of earbuds. I recently found a few new/old stock Zune HD earbuds to replace my old pair and to keep me going until I find something comparable.
I don't prefer the sound isolation "ear canal" headphones because it messes with the pressure in my ears and the cables cause noise when brushing against anything.
Catching up to ten-year-old XEmacs features

Emacs 24.1 Released

Ahh, it's nice to see GNU Emacs finally bothering to catch up to these ten-year-old XEmacs features.
The highly secure NSA and DoD password policy is very thorough, but one thing was left un-noticed about this policy. You can create a valid password by merely running your finder down a colum of the keyboard, and then holding down the shift key and doing the same thing. Really!!
To wit, this password is valid. Run your finger down the left-most column of your keyboard: 1qaz2wsx Then hold down the SHIFT key and type !QAZ@WSX Presto, you have a valid password that meets all the security requirements the NSA and DoD have imposed upon you.
Now that's okay for creating system images for deployment.
In 45 days when you need to change your password again, just shift to the next row of your keyboard. This will keep you okay for a couple of years or so until you run out of keyboard rows to use. Then, you just do it backwards. It really is that simple.
I wish I could have afforded one at the retail price of $666.66. Too rich for my blood back then. Still, I got to hack them eventually at school and summer camps, but that's not the same thing as actually owning one of those $666.66 masterpieces. Sigh.
I recommend a big tablet with a dishwasher-safe stylus. The Belkin Kitchen Stand and Wand for Tablets is perfectly suited to this task, especially if your hands get yucky. The big Vizio, Samsung Galaxy, and iPad fit right in.
Find it on AMZN and elsewhere. The Chef Sleeve for iPad is also helpful for following recipes.
I use a two-post telco rack. The network patch blocks panels mount right on it and so do all switches and routers. For computers, I buy center-mount shelving. For the odd electronic device, a cantilevered shelf does the trick.
The two-post telco racks are fantastically inexpensive and are easy to fit in a furnace room or utility room. Since you're in a house, combining the network wiring with the servers economizes in space.
I applaud your efforts, but unless we get wirespeed performance on our nVidia hardware in both 2D and 3D modes, thanks anyway, but no thanks until nVidia assists the Noveau folks for real.
From what the PDF document is describing, the notion of "double encryption" is referring to the two security layers being used.
First, the SVoIP is encrypted using DES-SRTP.
Second, the SVoIP stream is tunnelled in a secure VPN layer--in this case IPsec IKEv2--which has its own encryption layer.
Once at the enterprise there is a third encryption but it's not really a "layer" because it's not in the public network. The one to and from the SIP server is "SIP over TLS" but that's inside the private network, here called "Enterprise Mobility Infrastructure."
In the USA, our freight rail system is in very good shape after decades of restructuring and realignment. Food is being shipped more and more by rail--most of the fresh produce in the Northeast is grown in the Upper Northwest and shipped overland by a company called Railex several times per week.
Not so long ago all food travelled by rail. Most of that infrastructure was downsized over the past forty years and is in a resurgence. For food transport the big challenge is upgrading more terminals to handle time-sensitive produce.
On the other hand, the trucking industry is hurting badly. The economics of rail freight are making it viable again.
In some ways the USA is experiencing a slow-motion food transport crisis in light of fuel prices and the downsurge of the health of the trucking industry.

But, of course, you can predict SecurID if you know the seed. That's the whole point of how SecurID and all other token security systems work.
It's like saying that a one-time pad is broken if you have the predetermined list of keys. Of course, that's the whole point.

This post serves as the obligatory reminder that Microsoft SQL Server is a fork of Sybase 8.
The Adobe Flash installer deletes itself, too, after installation. They really don't want the old, buggy stuff laying around.

Yes, that, and the abandoned SoundForce platform. Sheesh.

Of course, we TRS-80 Color Computer enthusiasts would try to claim that somehow we were the first 16-bit home computer owners, but anyway.

Telecom already acknowledges DC as the victor. It's about time the datacenter people also recognize the efficiencies of DC power in the datacenter.
They should collect the old iron ballast pellets left behind by the last visitor to the Challenger Deep, Bathyscaphe Trieste.
The obligatory joke about Unix time rolling over before this happens goes here.
Correction: I meant to type:
"First, the SVoIP is encrypted using SDES-SRTP."
Another diagram suggests this "SDES-SRTP" can also be SIP/TLS.

Not only this, but propane is often derived from refining of that crude oil we're trying to get away from.
That's because they have room to carry far more CNG tanks onboard than most other vehicle can.

Honestly, this is why we have railroads.
