There is some kind of study going on at the federal level here in Australia about that. If they can charge him for releasing Australian information in the cables they can revoke his passport.
For years now I have had this netbsd box as my front end. The DSL modem plugs into an ethernet port on the PC which NATs in two directions: a local hard wired network and wifi. So after y'all slashdotted by server I stated looking at a rebuild around this nice fast AMD64 machine but it is light on PCI slots so I can't have the two ethernet cards plus atheros wifi plus serial that I need.
So last night I splashed out on a Netcomm wifi router and the plan I formulated later in the evening was to use it as my front end with the DMZ trick pointing to the BSD box.
Then this morning the penny dropped. NetBSD supports IPv6 perfectly well but the netcomm configuration pages don't mention it. But most people use these little wifi routers. Are they screwed? Am I screwed if I rely on this router?
I thought Linux was always 100% secure, completely unhackable, because they're the admins are experts and the software has built in security! You mean... it's not true?
Nothing I have seen so far really paints the US in a bad light. The stuff about China not supporting North Korea puts China in a position where they have to either support or drop N Korea. If anything really looks bad for the US Government it will most likely impact previous US administrations.
I think this release came from the Obama administration. I think it is an attempt to break stalemates, particularly relating to China and North Korea.
You're a 20-something, aren't you? Come back and say that in another half a century. Life isn't all that "must-have" after a bunch of decades, even if you're in perfect health. The main problem is that after numerous years of life-experience, you start realizing what unbelievable sacks of shit most people truly are. If YOU get to live forever, you're going to have to deal with THEM forever too.
No, I reckon I could find a way to avoid the Other Humans. For a while, anyway. Particularly age tends to teach survival skills. If you can stay in good physical shape at the same time, living in remote areas may be easier.

But it can't be fuelled while in orbit. It has to land, be refitted, and launch again. Before then you can launch another vehicle.
But I wonder if the X-37B could do something like a scoop run, but pushing laterally off the atmosphere. Consider putting this vehicle into an eccentric orbit with a period of half a day or so and a perigee low enough for aerobraking. Every pass drops apogee somewhat but you have a lot to spare. A lateral impulse while aerobraking gives you enough of a plane change that the vehicles location can't be predicted, and the bad guys don't know when to hide.
The emissivity of a material (usually written or e) is the relative ability of its surface to emit energy by radiation. It is the ratio of energy radiated by a particular material to energy radiated by a black body at the same temperature. A true black body would have an = 1 while any real object would have
I suspect it would still be cheaper to design the satellites for a shorter life span and keep launching them into different orbits.
Consider the advantage of maneuverability in a hostile (as in being shot at) environment, or in a situation where the geographical points of interest keep changing, or changing the time required to orbit so that someone on the ground can not predict an overflight very easily. The X-37 may carry more fuel, or have engines offering greater delta-v, than a satellite.
Maybe but this is the failed argument which killed the space shuttle at birth. It was cheaper to use disposable vehicles. Maybe thats changing now that launchers are getting cheaper, but I don't think USAF launch costs are going down yet.
Yup, that's the cool part of it. Imagine the possibilities for an orbiter that is fully automated, can change orbit, and return to Earth & be refueled. Put a nice camera on that & you have a spy sat that can't be tracked easily. You might even be able to put a weapon on that since it can be reloaded.

I wonder if there is some subtle psychological reasoning behind painting the NASA X-34 white and the military X-37B a shining Darth Vader helmet black....
At first I thought, "oh, to make it harder to see with a telescope," but then I RTFA and noticed that amateur astronomers have been tracking the thing in orbit, so I guess the paint job is just to make it look cool. Really, though, if I were in charge of a super secret space plane, I'd want it to look cool, too.
In this case, it looks like a ICE took down a bunch of sellers of counterfeit goods
Hardly. Few people would have found them by typing in their domain name. They can jump to a different name and continue business more or less immediately.
The times I have posted a link on slashdot to my server I got different results. Windows was there but iPhones were surprisingly popular. Various linux distributions are right up there as well.
the browser already has a secure certificate installed with which to verify your identity. They come on the Windows CD (For IE, the most popular browser still) and are thus beyond your power to control.
In many places the browser is entirely controlled by the ISP. Consider mobile phones for example. Additionally some people install software on their clients when they set up their internet connections.
Say you have an account with an ISP. The wider internet is accessed through the ISP network. Nothing stops the ISP from building a model of the internet within their network, so that when you think you are connecting to your bank, you actually connect to a proxy run by the ISP which forwards connections on to the bank.
This is how it works at my workplace. All SSL connections are proxied.
We use Doors and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Its a fairly high end tool and probably a bit too heavy for your needs. One problem we have is that while your version control system can be distributed, doors is centralised and uses huge binary database files.
Also if everybody in the organisation doesn't work towards your CMMI goals no tool will help you.
An ISP which controls DNS and access to certificates can transparently position itself in the middle of an encrypted link. Unless keys are exchanged off line, or through other networks, end to end encryption will not help.

Oh so that was you was it?

Maybe this one runs HURD.
An attacker could insert an exploit into GNU software, which would be executed downstream by users who expect Savannah software to be safe to use.

if you install a new stereo, they can't deny warranty repair on your transmission.
I miss those days. My wife has a new VW jetta and the transmission is definitely integrated with the radio. No joke. They both use the same displays.
Speak for yourself. I want to live forever.

Unlikely. RMS is Jewish.

Yes, remember that. Black items will absorb more light, and also radiate exactly that much more heat.
Yeah but for a heat shield some heat comes from conduction and that is the same regardless of the albedo of the surface.

You mean it's been in the air for seven months?
Yup, that's the cool part of it. Imagine the possibilities for an orbiter that is fully automated, can change orbit, and return to Earth & be refueled. Put a nice camera on that & you have a spy sat that can't be tracked easily. You might even be able to put a weapon on that since it can be reloaded.

In orbit. It got dizzy and needs a break.

Black surfaces radiate more heat than other surfaces so it is better for a heat shield to be black.

Another launch of the craft may take place as early as this March.
That orbiter? Or another orbiter of the same type?
The problem with them is also that most advanced typist type purely by touch
Haptic feedback works well on my android phone. Maybe it could be improved beyond using a single phone vibration device.
