The fun thing is, proper measures could get around it.
Get that warrant, get in, and plant a keylogger or something.
If you go in all bravado and grab everything raid style, it isn't going to work out so well.
Use the brain, you'd be surprised what you come up with!
Me, if I had something I wanted to be hiding, I'd have other measures in place. Open the chassis - oops, power interrupted. Better have that password handy! You could even go extreme and do something crazy - GPS coordinates (minus a few LSB per coord) as part of the key means it won't unlock with the passphrase unless it's PHYSICALLY put back in place, and you can't just fire up a clone on a lab bench and get in either, as you (probably) don't know the special way the coordinates work as part of the key.
There's tons of things that could be done to discourage raids. Criminals evolve, and the police have to as well, or fall behind. You are witnessing then scrabbling to get ahead after having already fallen behind.
That's called colocation, and it doesn't mean shit.
Joe random tech can yank your drive, boot with an external kernel with init=/bin/sh or whatever, do nefarious things, put it all back up, and claim a power outage or whatever.
Unless it's sitting in your facility or your access control (locked cage with no raised floor, you have only keys) then it isn't secured.
Unless you use full disk encryption, in which case driving in to boot your servers will get old. IPKVMs or other workarounds = keylogger = pointless.
I like your Mac bullshit too. Nobody uses Macs for hosting... they are too expensive for what you get. I think I've seen probably one, ever. I didn't even realize Apple made rackmount equipment before that. As well, anyone who knows what they are doing isn't going to put desktop-type equipment into a datacenter role... any time I've ever seen this it spelt nothing but trouble, and when trouble eventually came around, it was made evident the owner didn't have a damn clue as we had to do -everything- for them.
I'd hazard to say that it's the mind that makes us human, not the body. Some call it a soul, but whatever you put a name to it, we all recognize that special spark.
It would be awful to live with the horrible gastric upsets, trouble regulating body temperature (ie, you skin contracts as a function of heat regulation. To put a blunt but prime example, think of nipples or how the scrotum contracts when cold).
Eyes won't be able to track or saccade, speech will not be possible, and mechanical communication (writing, typing, blink codes, etc) will be out eventually too.
Doomed to death or a vegetable-like state - with one key difference - you can still feel and think.
no thank you. - I'd want a good assurance of fixing before all that happens, or euthenasia before the worst of it.
No... I'm saying he was directly talking about pirating windows, without actually saying so. That's what subtext means. It also leaves you a way to say "I never said that!"
I guess we won't know for sure unless he tells us exactly what he meant.
I work at a (relatively crap and smal) datacenter, and we have two "main" feeds from two separate substations. You know, the transformers the size of a car? Yea, we have two on our property for out exclusive use.
You can tell our customers are really into Intel. -rimshot-
bah WTF. I see my post with all the post-specific data (aside from title/body) blank or '?' - and when I load up parent's CID, I see none of them for an hour or so?
Then we should compare definitions of violence, because I most certainly do not agree.
What I think violence is (i'm willing to say I might be, or even probably am, wrong) is a physical act that causes harm. Words do not cause physical harm, unless they directly command a physical action ("shoot that man") and even then, it's nebulous as to being violent.
Well, no. I was one of the guys dealing with the DDoS, so I felt the full brunt of that.
Yea, it sucks - but I chose the job.
I'd say the same thing in response to #1 - I don't think anyone is volunteered to join the bomb-squad. They train for and expect exactly that. I'd ask WTF you are doing working that job if you aren't willing! (it's not like scrubbing pots - you can't force someone to do a dangerous job like that)
#2 - you do have me here. I don't mean to minimalize the bomb threat, but I just don't necessarily think it's at the level people put it at.
Clearly you have not been somewhere that matters when a DDoS is in full effect. I've seen equipment get fried (usually equipment that's not too healthy to start with, but still) and have firsthand felt the stresses involved. A bomb threat? Call in the professionals and run the hell away.
DDoS? Nope, you get to stick through it responding to all the insensitive assholes bitching all the while doing your best (which is never enough against a real DDoS, thus failing)
Far more than you credit inwardly think "finally, about time" while denouncing it to their peers...
Such is human nature. Have fun trying to figure out how many people think that! Even if you could, I'd put good money down that it's a far greater number than you expect.
Cool and dark are the really important parts. On write-once optical media, UV will fade the dye making it harder to distinguish pit/land transitions, while high temperature will melt the unmelted dye, making the pits/lands closer together (thus also making the transitions more difficult to discern).
Using RW media will alleviate some of this problem, as this uses a phase-change mechanism instead which is more "digital" than the dye used in write-once.

Hmm. What happens if you say you don't understand? (true or not)
Do they sit there continuing to try explaining it in various ways, or do they just take you off anyways?

Oh. Well... that's not as bad, but losing those skeletal muscles would still be no fun :(

Don't forget all the other smooth muscles.

Datacenters don't get power like consumers.

Yea, when shouting at a server can give you measurable deficiencies, I'm pretty sure making the ground fucking shake is no big deal.
Well no shit. And the only reason he needed to specify it was to draw contrast to the pirating windows subtext.
The last bit, "Especially if you don't use it." implies he was talking about people pirating it...
Nice job reading between the lines, eh?
Except when they dump n+1 volts down a rail and fry just about everything along the way...
bah WTF. I see my post with all the post-specific data (aside from title/body) blank or '?' - and when I load up parent's CID, I see none of them for an hour or so?
Sounds like a database bug eh?
Keep in mind one of the primary benefits of these open movie projects - new code.
Big Buck Bunny ended up giving us a whole new (and much better) hair and particle system, for example.
Keep in mind one of the main reasons to have these open movies, is that they find and address issues in the software with them.
For example, when they made Big Buck Bunny, we got a completely new hair and particle system out of it.
(second attempt - slashdot keeps fucking dropping my posts)

It's been a while since we had a good o'le fashion riot. If things keep going in the direction they are going in, we're going to have one.
At least it won't be because of starvation or something. Things are pretty good when you can riot over art/luxuries/information!
Ain't karma a bitch?
Here's today's lesson, children: If you go about shitting all over the neighborhood, don't be surprised to find a cart of manure on top of your car.
Except the population that would continue to buy and/or steal is far to vast for those who actually care to have an effect in that manner...

Fine - but don't confuse it with an act of violence. One is far more narrow in scope and severity.
