The terminology in article confused me as well. It's talking about "enterprise single sign-on" which actually means something different from what Crowd actually seems to provide. It's usually used to refer software that does SSO to desktop applications (well known software in that sector are like Oracle ESSO, NetIQ (formerly Novell) SecureLogin, IBM SAM ESSO (formerly IBM TAM ESSO)). Crowd, however, seems to be WebSSO+IDM solution.
Maybe someone could optimize editors on/. to make sure all acronyms are spelled out at least once in the article.
If this was some common newspaper, then yeah, it could be good idea. However, you should assume readers of Slashdot to be familiar with industry's (and general, like DNA and CEO) common acronyms on at least "I know what it is about" level.
App search in Windows 8 is actually slower if you are looking for control panel applications. And many of the resulting stuff in Settings are actually gimped down versions and pretty much unusable (like Windows Update's Metro style settings are: Automatic updates on, automatic updates off. That's it. No option to just let it download them), so you need to open control panel and use search there (unless you have memorized the appropriate cpl name, I do remember the ones I generally need to use).
You have a problem here. All the feds have to do is go before the judge, start with an archived copy of the original disk which can be proven to be bitwise identical, apply the correct decryption process, and when out pops all the data they claim was there you'll have to explain how they got the original encrypted bytes to decrypt directly into the alleged criminal data.
What was the key? What algorithm did they use?
Give me your hard drive image and I can provide a key that "proves" you are a criminal. I take another image that is filled with discriminating data, XOR them and give the resulting key as decryption key.
I'd call someone current who has 5 years of all of these: Objective-C & MAC/iOS experience, C#/WPF, Android 4.1, SQL/SQLite/Oracle, C/C#/C++, Java, Python, Javascript, HTML,.NET and everything else the Microsoft has. If you don't known all of those things then you need to catch up.
Effectively you are saying that (when applied to my current field) if I don't have experience of Forefront IDM, I need to catch up. No, I don't have experience with Forefront IDM, but I have experience with various other IDM systems as well as various Microsoft technologies. But lack of working with it really doesn't matter. If you want me to work with Forefront, I can. I may need a bit of extra time to find the things compared to guy who has worked with Forefront, but that's just when starting out (I have countless examples of time when I need to implement something with something I have never worked with and it has always had a good ending).
Do you look for carpenter who has 2 years of experience working with black walnut or carpenter who has no experience with black walnut, but has been carpenter for 10 years and has worked with various other woods (there just didn't happen to be a project that involved black walnut)?
In Finland, the interest rate is pretty much 0% for phone from operator, but you need to buy a contract. But even the cheapest one suffices (if you don't want to actually switch your current one), I guess Tele Finland's 0.67€/month is the cheapest one currently (iPhone 5 seems to be special case, it requires 4e/month contract). As an example, Galaxy S 4 costs 699 € pretty much no matter where you buy it from. With 24 month contract, the monthly price is 29 €/month+0.67€/month, total 712.08€. 12 month contact is slightly expensive at 60€/month+0.67€/month, total 728,04€.
Strictly speaking the interest rate would come out as 0.9% for 24 month contract, but that's about as cheap loan as you can get unless you are a bank (it's under the current new avg mortgage interest rate).
...I don't know how they will break into that market. Google is a name that most IT people think of when they think of cloud processing suites.
As far as I know there haven't been any complaints about google.
I cannot claim that I know much about rest of the world's stances regarding Google Apps vs Office 365, but in Finland Office 365 has been gaining a lot of footing. Certainly the fact that Google seems to want to piss off WP users (which hasn't extended to Google Apps yet, but the haven't been very good at convincing that it won't) is not helping with their popularity in country where Nokia (and thus WP) has high market share (~20% for WP), especially in business sector.
*I'd imagine that, even if the stream is 1080p, a DVD rip would be of superior quality due to the fact that the stream would be of limited bit-rate due to being streamed over the Internet. In addition to that, you be re-compressing an already compressed stream, resulting in further degradation.
It depends entirely on the quality of codec, how well encoder is doing his job & how much bandwidth they are actually allocating. I have seen 720p TV broadcasts being encoded even as 2Mbps h264 with very good results (which easily beats DVD). Of course when it's action heavy, you will need higher bitrate.
EU has been doing kinda ok, but shared currency in confederacy was a bad idea. If you want shared currency, then you need to give up your rights to decide most of your budget.
I don't think there is really any problem with including encoding support. But if you want to use it, you may (depending on use, country etc.) need to get license for AVC from MPEGLA (or directly from patent holders if your volumes are big/important enough to give you some negotiation power).
"no fucking around with electronic devices unless they're mounted to your vehicle somewhere."
So it's ok to solve rubik's cube, prepare & cook food (as long as you use gas stove) etc. as long as you don't press ignore on the call on your phone which you forgot to put on silent with sleeping baby on board?
Good law (which should be common sense) would just say "don't put others on risk".
You can limit which governments are allowed to scan your data choosing countries in which you do business. In case of cloud providers, access to data depends on which countries laws they need to obey (which most likely is bigger list than what your company has to).
It could still fall under the cartel or similar laws. Recently in Finland there was a case where dairy producer (Valio) had originally cut their milk price to drive another company out (Arla). The Finnish Competition and Consumer Authority was not happy when they found out and more or less forced Valio to up their prices. Valio publicly announced they were going to increase their wholesale prices by 30%. FCCA was angry again, claiming that kind of announcement could be considered to be price signaling and it's not a good thing. They haven't filed any claims to courts yet tho.
Are you saying Fukushima never would have happened if there was not a tsunami? Hurricanes would not be ablet to damage a nuclear power plant enough? Tornadoes can't either? How about earthquakes?
Fukushima's problem was caused by flooding in the basement where diesel generators were. All of the mentioned things could potentially cause enough problems in nuclear plants, but they would need to huge (like >7.75 magnitude earthquake *directly* under the reactor). Hurricane problems are similar to tsunami (loss of grid, rising water level). If there was strong enough hurricane coming that those would be big risk, people should be smart enough to shutdown the reactor & do other preparations in time as hurricanes can be detected way earlier than tsunamis/earthquakes.
Old content will stay in h264, new content will be released in h265. For when that switch happens depends on market. Anime fansubs have been early adopters for pretty much all new technologies relating to non-streamed video. I except them to start using it pretty much right after some kind of x265 will come out. Other markets will make the switch slower (or they will just keep using both) as it requires upgrading the consumers hardware/software.
Software that is targeting KeePass shouldn't have any problems grabbing that keyfile. Best solution would be some kind of hardware which would do the actual decrypting of the credentials. It should be possible to decide the level of credential. Those whatever site passwords would get decrypted right away (with some kind of limit per minute/hour/day), slightly more important ones would require confirmation before getting decrypted and last level would require you to enter PIN before it gets decrypted and even then it would only be displayed on the device itself.
Opera is "ALL THE FEATURES and Yet Another Rendering Engine but WHY are the keyboard shortcuts different from every other browser?"
They have been moving towards making the shortcuts same as in other browsers, but many long time Opera users (myself included) hate it as we are used to different set as they are generally more accessible (like z & x for back/forward instead of alt+left/right). Fortunately Opera lets you customize hotkeys easily unlike many other browsers.
It's hard for me to believe that possessing/drinking alcohol as under 18/21 isn't illegal. That would leave a loophole that it would be ok for them to brew their own (unless there's another law which forbids brewing as under 18/21) & drink it.
Local ping times are far too high to be usable. Local Verizon FIOS has 25ms pings across the city, nevermind across the country.
I'm not sure what Verizon is doing wrong, but certainly something. I'm using cable in Finland (DNA Welho). Ping to regional exchange point (FICIX) is roughly 7ms, ping to Rovaniemi (~1000km) on different operator is roughly 25ms, ping first hit in Germany (Level3 Dusseldorf) is 44ms.
Slashdot Mirror
In EU, PayPal is a bank. http://www.paymentsnews.com/2007/05/paypal_obtains_.html
Can you give an example of a specific HTML5 feature in IE that YouTube would require? It supports a great deal of the standard as of IE10, you know.
That's easy: HTTP Live streaming.
You will still need to learn the language if you want citizenship.

No need to get MSDN sub. Just get Technet if it's for evaluation (=self-training).

Veeeeery long cables & redundancy.

MOBAs do have (LoL, Dota2 from current major ones). Heck, that's pretty much what they are about.
