Please, protecting people and businesses from having others illegally gain access to their private accounts is not some obscure, ridiculous 300 year old law. It's completely reasonable for it to be a felony to illegally access other people's accounts. It's also completely reasonable to send someone who broke the law by hacking into someone else's account to jail for doing so. You do the crime, you do the time.
...except that he got hit with a misdemeanor for accessing the account. He got hit with the felony for wiping the data from his computer when he found out the FBI was looking for him.
I totally agree. The only place I see where Open Source has a leg up security-wise is that the people using the software can choose to do their own security review and fix any holes, without having to depend on the original company to do it right and release in a timely manner. Somebody still has to *choose* to do that review and invest the resources, however.
I guess one other way it *can* be more secure is shown by the example of Linux/SELinux: another "vendor" can come along and create a more secure implementation, even if this isn't in the purview of the official maintainers.
But by conflating harm with death, you're falling prey to the "all crows are black" fallacy. It can be used as an indicator, but not as a general indicator of harm. Death is an unqualified subset of possible harm, and the degree of representation will differ significantly based on geographical location and other variables.
Sort of true... except Apple recommends keeping computers in a sleep state, not powered off... and you can set the computer to auto reboot and sleep after power failure. I did always find it stupid that though the network circuitry supported Boot on LAN, Apple consciously chose not to enable it, though. I mean, if it's trivial to do (it should be... after all, the network card receives power even when a Mac is off), why not do it?
There's actually a pre-written applescript for iTunes floating around somewhere that does this. All you do is select the tracks in order, run the script, and it does the rest.
So... each room is served via lights, and the ground line is used for each circuit in the building? Then you just need a switch at the fuse box that connects to the internet and/or company network....
Not knowing US Martial law that well, is it true that when tried before a military tribunal, you are presumed innocent of the charges until proven guilty? I thought this was only part of the civilian legal system in the US, and in military court testimony by your superiors had to be dis-proven to find you innocent.
Why have GSM cell? fiber / wifi / microwave / e-net are cheaper when you look at the high cost of GSM data?
In use most lights use wired base cables for data passing to other lights / the data center.
Because outside of North America, the GSM system is significantly more robust than the alternatives, and allows you to lock down the communications. Of course, the fact that these SIMs were not locked down smacks of either incompetence or that the people setting up the system were in on the heist.
This has interesting implications when combined with intellectual property and debt-based economies... mostly that while people still think in terms of exchanging money for bread, they fail to realize that since they used their credit card to make the purchase, they actually "owe" someone else (oftentimes more than the baker was asking) for the baker giving them the rights to eat the bread... and the baker still wants the bread back when they're done with it.
This is the position most of the middle class is in these days; the money wealth belongs to the rich, and is loaned to the middle class temporarily so that they can receive temporary goods and services from other low/middle class workers, who then funnel the profits back to the rich.
However, the quality of these goods and services is also generally (with notable exceptions) improving, which helps.
It's actually slightly more complex than that; a Magician's task is to use body language, banter, props, etc to make people see one part of the picture while ignoring another part... and using humans' built in narrative creativity to fill in the hole (which is where you do the tricky stuff) with something from their own mind. Of course, moving your hands in *almost* predictable, common ways tends to fool most people into thinking that's exactly what you're doing.
The techniques used in parlour magic and stage magic are, obviously, slightly different. This trick of "motion masking" is used in both venues however, although for slightly different effect in each.
I have no problems with derivative interpretations/translations of past works -- after all, anyone with only a solid knowledge of modern English reading the King James Bible would completely misinterpret it, and would have no clue what to do with the Canterbury Tales, Beowulf, or Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. These need to be updated (while preserving the originals) in order to make them accessible to those who don't understand the older dialects of the language.
However, performing a s/nigger/slave/ on the text is not my idea of re-interpreting/translating the text. In Clemens' time, the word "Nigger" had many more connotations than the world "slave" does today, and to assume that the one always implies the other seems to me to be much more controversial and racist than leaving the original text alone. They would have done better to replace the word with "blackamoor" -- at least it would have been a currently neutral term that most people wouldn't take offense at which had pretty much the same meaning at one time. Then again, "barbarian" would also fit. "Slave" implies that all references referred to slaves, which obviously isn't the case, at least by the end of the novel. Why not do a search and replace on "Man", "Woman" and various other words in the text as well? They are also offensive to many people in some of the contexts used in that book.
...except that you can't measure harmfulness by worldwide drops in deaths... measles, mumps and rubella can cause many non-lethal complications that you would not enjoy. Also, deaths worldwide is great, but if you live in an outbreak zone, you aren't going to care much that most other communities in the world are not affected.
Think of it this way:
US Population: 307,006,550 - Jul 2009 Source: U.S. Census Bureau, Population Division
For comparison, Metro Mexico City has a population of 21,163,226
So even if ALL of the US stopped vaccinating their children, all it would really take to counteract this value worldwide would be for immunization/health programs to be started/improved in a few major cities.
I think the reason you're seeing measles deaths worldwide diminishing is that the WHO and other groups are successfully targeting a number of locales worldwide known to be incubators. So areas that had massive measles issues are now approaching a point where they are able to prevent *death* by measles at almost the same rates as the USA.
And while you don't know anyone who died from Malaria, Yellow Fever or AIDS, I knew a few -- and if you went to many places in Africa, you'd likely not be able to find many people who haven't lost someone they know to one of those diseases. For comparison, Africa has over three times the population of the US.
I found that reading the stories and using my own imagination for the special effects provided a superior level of entertainment... the radio shows are also superior to the TV adaptations, and I'd consider them to be the true history of the series, with the TV adaptations just frosting (it's up to you whether you like frosting).
Believe it or not, people do actually have to get work done, even with sensitive documents. Make it so e.g. they have to type in a 100-character passphrase and enter a one-time password from a key card every time they open the document, and they're going to leave the document open all the time or spoil the security in some other way.
This is why we have keychains. The documents should always be encrypted on disk, and swapspace should always be encrypted. The only place you should find unencrypted classified docs is in memory, and then only when the document is open. Sure, a keylogger or memory scraper can still get the open document, but a contractor working on classified documents isn't going to have all 5,000 of their classified documents open all the time; they might have one or two. Those will leak, the others will be received without the encryption key, and so will be largely useless. This level of security has been freely available, vetted, and even USED BY PRIVATE CITIZENS AND CORPORATIONS for over a decade. It introduces almost no overhead for the end user, and once the infrastructure change is complete, adds very little overhead for the sysadmin. It is recommended practice by the NSA and the CIA; why aren't all government offices REQUIRED to meet this level? After all, they are pretty much requiring it of the healthcare industry.
And only the newest macs (only some high-end macs newer than Xserves) actually have WoL support.
I'll ignore most of the rest for now, but I've been using WoL with my Macs since i got an iMac in 2000 (my first Mac with integrated Ethernet). They don't have Start on LAN support, but I've never had any problems waking a sleeping Mac... even over WAN. All it takes is sending the magic packet to the right port, and it goes right through the router to the LAN and triggers the network controller to send the bus controller the wake signal... which the bus honours.
Of course, the NeXT vs Classic OS issue is obvious: Steve started with a UNIX-like core, which could use SAMBA and Netware designed for UNIX OSes. Classic Mac OS had to start from scratch. Based on the start of your paragraph, your argument should really be that you couldn't make a PC server talk AppleTalk or LocalTalk or work with PhoneNet hardware. Of course, this was because nobody could be bothered to do so.
One solution: create a Quicktime Reference Movie that refers to all the songs, in order, then add the.mov file to your playlist. It will play the original files in order:) Uncheck the original songs and select "ignore unchecked songs" or whatever that setting is to prevent the originals playing randomly as well.
Until he is convicted of something...this is unreal. INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY. I hope you never get charged with Rape or Homicide incorrectly and the police beat the living shit out of you, fuck your mind up, and then find out it was somebody else.
I doubt you will accept their 'you have a tiny mind' rhetoric as an excuse.
Innocent until proven guilty applies to the US justice system. Manning is being held by the military, which are outside the US justice system (otherwise, every soldier with a registered kill would have to be locked up for manslaughter). They do, however, still have to hold to the Geneva Convention.
This finding only tells one half of the story. Goods obtained overseas obviously cannot have first sale doctrine applied, as they were already yours when they entered the country. Conversely, since the product already belonged to you when you entered the country, you are the sole owner of the property, and foreign laws do not apply -- which means you can do whatever you want with it. If the company who sold you the property wants to contest this, they have to sue you in the country of sale, NOT the USA. I can't see how/where a US court would handle a case about the use of private property that US customs let into the country.
However, if you resell, you are the importer of record, therefore the sale is fully taxable, and you'd have to also pay the appropriate duties etc. Makes perfect sense to me.
Actually, it's unlikely that your account would do all those things. More likely, your account would start posting links to various places that contain drive-by bot infectors. If you've been posting for a while somewhere, your ID has gained credibility, so the links will show up in Google searches, etc. and people will be more likely to click them... and become part of a botnet.
Very interesting too that these passwords were obtained by decrypting the password file. So if you had a very complex and secure password, these guys now know what it is. If you used that same password on a site you care about, maybe with a different digit on the end, you've potentially lost a bit of security elsewhere. But if your password on gawker sites was "password" and you only used that on other fluffy sites, then you haven't lost that much.
They didn't decrypt all the passwords; their attack method only found the 200 "low hanging fruit" passwords. So if you had a very complex and secure password, it's still complex and secure-ish -- but now everyone knows the hash, linked to your email address.
People always complain about how great the good old days were. I guess this is a pretty solid evidence that they sucked.
Only on average. In reality, they either really sucked, or were pretty good. To look at this another way, the maximum life expectancy hasn't really changed in thousands of years. Prior to last century, the average was brought down due to the high volume of infant and child deaths. Similarly, the spread of wealth hs actually more interesting than the average -- especially after adjusting for inflation.
