In data warehouse terms it isn't actually a lot of data at all. I would imagine their data storage would be in the multi petabyte range. a couple of hundred gig could traverse the network in a very short period of time and not even register as an unusually large amount of data.
that isn't actually a lot of data size wise, especially if stolen over a period of time, and no it would be unusual to spot it leaving the network. The data has to be properly secured, trying to detect data leaving your network would be a near impossible task. Don't get me wrong Target have majorly fucked up but your expectations of where this should have been detected are dead wrong.
If overstock was such a huge believer in bitcoin then they would accept it as a payment method. and NO this is NOT what they are doing, they are still only accepting US dollars, they are just supporting a 3rd party payment method that allows people to convert bitcoins. In exchange for this convenience they lose the ability to get a refund.
performance vs time to create is a trade off that depends significantly on the task at hand and the end requirements. Sometimes it really is cheaper to buy faster hardware than spend more time optimising. We did exactly that over xmas for a web farm with some poorly written transactional code. The code worked 100% perfectly but was inefficient. It was calculated out that tuning and testing the code would take approximately $250,000 in programmer and testing time. Hardware to compensate for the bad code came to $50,000 plus maintanence and freed up the programmers to work on more critical tasks.
I don't find that a sad thing at all. The fact people have to spend far less effort on code to make something that works is a fantastic thing that has opened up programming to millions of people that would never have been able to cope with the complex tricks we used to play to get every byte of memory saved and to prune every line of code. This doesn't mean you can't do those things and I still regularly do when writing server side code. But why spend man years of effort to optimise memory,CPU and disk footprint when the average machine has abundant surplus of both.
If they haven't even built a working prototype then how can they be seeking funding to bring it to market? surely they are just seeking funding to prototype to see if it is even viable to bring to market?
I'm not sure the analogy was ever meant to be a rigorous and exact model, but more of a kind of way of visualizing space-time. All analogies break down if you try to map them exactly to the phenomenon you're trying to explain. After all, it's an analogy, not a model.
^this, many analogies in science are made to give a layperson a general/basic understanding of the concepts at work. They were never meant to be or expected to be working mathematical models.
of course you are losing money because of it. Directly through wasted time in checking statements and potentially getting a new card and indirectly through the increased costs of insurance and cleanup costs all which end up added to the costs of the goods they sell.
could you have come up with a worse possible insult for a writer? though I did find much of her stuff pretty ordinary (ordinary enough that I don't read anything of hers anymore) I would not consider it as bad as a movie.
The government is packed with highly religious nutcases already. The church lobbies and helps to fund many candidates. How exactly would it be any different to now?
At least if he is battling at the border to keep them and they really are critical to his life/career he can decide to not enter the country and keep them rather than have something so precious destroyed by forest gump with a badge.
Security Cameras have implied consent by you being in an area. Google Glass comes into YOUR area without your consent. Security cameras aren't also directly being uploaded to youtube and are rarely even viewed by human eyes unless someone is looking at an incident.
Could not agree more, somehow a week ago I got directed to the beta site. All I could think was "What the FUCK are you guys doing", Slashdot has gotten worse and worse with each new version but if that shit that is in beta goes live this place will become a ghost town.
Open your eyes. Homelessness has been a problem in Japan for decades, it was terrible when I visited their even in the 1990's, but it has gotten a lot worse in the last 10 years.
I neither believe or disbelieve in the theory of evolution. It simply is the current best theory that matches all the available evidence. my believe is neither required nor given.
really another dupe, and they still didn't fix the technical mistakes. i.e. it is one OS (windows) Android apps are being emulated in the OS. and same as last article, NO this isn't going to scare MS, probably more scary for Google as it removes the need to run android to use android apps.
So, I guess the whole thing comes down to: When is an online order 'complete'?
After the buyer has both paid for and taken delivery of the item.
You must own a business.
So, what you're saying is, the business can take my money, 'ship' the product (Ground, of course), then, on the last day before it's delivered, cancel the shipping and have it returned to them, all that time keeping my money in their bank accounts, earning them interest, and only then refund me? Bull.
Actually yes they can. As long as the purpose of cancelling the transaction wasn't simply to deprive you of interest on the money as then it would be fraud plain and simple. Until the transaction is complete on both ends then it can be cancelled.
from all the news articles leading up to December about their website investment with IBM and WEBSPHERE it seems they aren't strictly a MS shop and the platform the crashed app runs on appears to be Linux? regardless either windows or Linux is more than capable of handling the necessary load, sounds more like a typical poorly developed app.
Slashdot Mirror
2013 was a disasterous year for console gaming. Was the biggest decline in hardware sales on record, industry was down something like 40%.
That's a lot of data, though....

weekly updates, bloat and random changes. hmmm great just what I wanted in my TV's interface.

IT cant block 443 and encrypted traffic through there is expected.
IT cant cope with us worker drones that know way more than they do.
Given the first part of your statement I can assure you that "YOU" don't know more than they do.
If they are holding it up with the camera pointed at me and looking at the screen then damn right I assume they are taking photos or recording.

seriously you are suggesting someone concerned about abuse of information use a google DNS Server?
