I've wished for a better UI for webmail for years, but I haven't found one yet that meets google webmail yet, FOSS or payware. The same applies to their web search, although duckduck has some nice change features added that google lacks. Unfortunately duckduck's search results are often not good enough so I have to google my query. I'd love to be able to get rid of google, but the fact is that it's hard to get a similar quality service with a similar or better quality UI.
Most current high available networking gear has an OS on a "general maintenance processor" that is used to handle the user interface. All the packet mangling is done in ASICs or on daughter boards running other OSes.
Also, IPtables isn't a shell script, it's a binary that is used to manipulate kernel network filters. Once the tables are set up, packets don't leave the kernel, unless you use the userland filter kernel module. I've only seen one commercial linux packet mangling setup that does this and it performs horrendously bad. It was a data counting and billing setup for mobile internet and it required an 8 core Xeon with 16G of ram per 100Mbit. Interestingly, it wasn't the amount of Mbits that went through, but the amount of IP sessions that were being set up per second that was the real bottleneck here. The whole thing checked with a central accounting processor to see if the user still had data rights left and got a lease for 64kbyte of data from the user's quota. Needless to say the setup was high on the list of things to phase out because it was mushrooming out of proportion at an alarming rate.
I use LibreOffice, because I hardly do html and need to keep compatible with the crap they use at the customer and the employer when it comes to office formats.
In general, most commercial text editors are lousy at both editing and layout, but they contain all the "features" that people who don't understand either find handy to mangle their documents with. LibreOffice isn't that different from the others in that respect, but at least it's free and it runs on all the systems I use for daily work, regardless of their OS.
When I have to work on code or markup languages, I generally use VIM, since it's also on practically all the systems I use for this sort of work.
Since I have to often rely on systems with nothing but generic stuff installed, I don't want to have to bother with setting up the "perfect environment" all the time, so I adapt by using what's easily available.
This device burns stuff, releases CO2 in the atmosphere that wasn't there before. It'd be carbon negative it if would take out CO2 that was in the atmosphere before. Misleading title, if this was carbon negative, all cars that run on bio diesel are carbon negative as well.
What antitoxins are there? Because they seem to be withheld as well. The only "cure" I personally know to heal people and animals that ingested the bacteria is to keep feeding them sugar water with added salts so you can flush the bacteria out of their digestive tract without dehydrating them. They need constant care and attention and possibly artificial respiration and such for days or weeks, until the poison wears off and they get control of their muscles again.
There are plenty of other toxins and bacteria that are known, easily obtainable and at least as big a threat as Botulism. One more won't really matter on a grand scale of things. If you want people to suffer horrible diseases you already have plenty to choose from. By not allowing a new sports car to get on the road "because it's fast and it could kill people if they had a collision with it" you're not suddenly making the streets any safer than they are. Withholding this information won't make people immune to all other harm, or add a significant new threat to the world. I'm all for keeping dangerous knowledge a secret, but this is ridiculous.
Input lag is how long a game takes to react on your manipulation of controls, not how long it takes to display it on the panel or CRT you're looking at. Maybe you mean output lag? Since screens get updated 50 or 60 times a second with TFTs and CRTs often get higher refresh rates, you're looking at 20ms or less for a screen refresh, when it comes to pure VSync delay. "Whoa dude, 20ms, my ping time is less than that!" I hear you say. Apart from the fact that most of the planet has ping times that are way higher, especially if you're playing global, this refresh frequency has been used for a reason. At about 20 frames per second, or 50ms, the human eye is no longer able to distinguish between individual pictures because it simply can't keep up with the data refresh rate. We do however still notice flicker and "less information" in the moving scene than we do in real life. At 50 or 60hz, the flicker is mostly gone, especially if we keep displaying the previous picture before we replace it with a new one. The "less information" thing is mostly gone too. Try a CRT at these refresh rates and you will most likely find that the picture may be worse (or even better if you have a proper CRT), but the lag you experience is gone.
Yes, that's right, it's gone with a CRT. Why is that? Because all these TFT screens you buy have a "scaler board" that reads all your inputs, converts the signals (even the digital ones) to a signal the display drivers understands and scales resolutions, color information and refresh rate to the native format of the panel.To do so, it buffers input signal for a few frames, does DSP stuff on it to get things like "dynamic contrast" and "color balance" adjusted, up- or downscale frame rate and such. This is the lag you are experiencing. if you have a delay of 3 frames at 50Hz you get a 60ms delay after the video has left your video card before it's displayed. That's right, the difference between a slow uplink and a fast uplink is often less critical than what sort of display you are using. Want to frag all those lagtards? Get a CRT and live next to an international internet exchange. You'll get up to 100ms on them. Not bad if you consider that the average time humans need to react is double that.;)
Content providers have to pay to get on networks too, since they get all the advertising profits. Not all do, some get paid, but cable companies get more money from companies paying to get onto the network than they have to pay to others. This open letter would make sense if it was completely true, but the ones paying are the people buying the products that get advertised and the ones watching the shows via cable, not the cable companies.
Wouldn't they just burn because they get the chemicals for the reaction from themselves, or the sea water? The internet suggests this reaction would take place and the lithium would burn just the same.
Almost nobody had horses back then, compared to the 19th century. Working the land was done manually, or with the aid of oxen and such. Horses were more or less used as battle transportation and sometimes very important couriers. There was occasional other use for them, but horse ownership was usually reserved to the nobility and rich cities due to the cost of maintenance in the times that the black plague was hitting Europe.
Keep in mind that the black plague was spread by fleas that favoured rats, cats, dogs and such as hosts. They would choose humans as hosts, but were repelled by horses and their smell. As such, people that lived in horse staples and worked with horses, or rode them to the next town, most often were spared. If a lone person travelling on horse back would come from an infested city and was not bitten by an infested flea by the time he left that city, he wouldn't be carrying any infested fleas or the bacteria by the time he arrived in the next town. The spread of the virus might have actually occurred without any human interaction whatsoever in a lot of cases where fleas just infected rodents living in the wild, or actually by people that travelled by foot and brought their dogs and such along.
Really, companies that in this day and age don't block all ads with a filtering proxy, are running serious security risks. Not only do their employees risk getting viruses and malware through malicious ads, but their surfing behaviour whilst working is being recorded and sold to the highest bidder. It will be trivial for their competition to buy up their surfing stats and see what the competition is doing inside their offices.
Any web site relying on ads for a revenue will find the ads blocked at every possible location, especially when BYOD will start mandating the blocks to be put on home and portable devices as well. Either you run the ads from your own content platform, or they will get blocked. Serving ads for other websites as a business, or logging user data, will lose it's value in the coming years. Companies will figure out they will get shafted and infected if they don't block the traffic of these for their employees, both in the office and at home. It's back to selling ads on your own platform and running your own stats program if you want reliable statistics and income from banners in a few years from now.
The intent of copyright, as far as I am aware, is for an inventor to have a fair chance of getting money out something they invented, without someone copying his invention and getting money for it without having to do the inventing part first.Once they figured that you could also sell these copyrights or make them property of non-natural persons, the problems started.
Yes, there was an intention of a period of time that a copyright should be valid, so once the inventor got his chance to make money, the rest of the world would be allowed to use it too. That wasn't the reason they came up with copyright, it was just a measure they had to come up with so after the inventor got his fair chance, the rest of the world would eventually be able to use the invention as well.
You can get plenty of free SQLi trainings and labs at sites like enigmagroup and hackthissite. OWASP has good training VM images available as well, This is a commercial lab where you have to pay to take the class and get access to the labs.
They started looking into this guy at least 2 months before they declared the organization he donated money to to be "terrorist". They are actually quite right to call it that, because this is the organization that went on a shooting spree in a mall in Africa a few weeks ago, but that's beside the point. They messed up their evidence and fabricated rules to make it stick anyway.
You say you think 90% top bracket is unacceptable to you. So what percentage would seem fair to you? 50%? 60%? How do you propose state and federal income is generated if you lower that percentage? It's okay to say you think something is unfair, but you have to come up with an alternative that does seem fair to you if you want to solve things.
The whole cholesterol thing and low fat part have been proven wrong. Carbs, most notably sugar, have now proven to be way more important in both weight gain than (animal) fat in general. Check http://ds9a.nl/new-consensus/ for links to the full explanation and scientific studies to prove this.
Once you can get live DVD images to boot a game on "any modern PC with a graphics card", people will do that. The next step would be to "dedicate a hard drive or partition to the games" so you would have save games, cache and DLC available. Once you're at that point, people will get dedicated PCs just for gaming like they already have now, but they'd only boot into windows to play windows only games. The guy is right, getting people to run Linux to run games is only depending on the right game to come along.
Once there are a few "right games" people will appreciate the fact that they can upgrade their console when they want to and not be limited to a box from a single manufacturer that will have to milk the design for years and years They may start out with "an old peecee", upgrade it as they see fit and their budget allows and stay there, or get the baddest gaming box they can build and keep it that way.
Both have safety records that are frankly just horrible. Both cut corners because consumers either don't know or don't care how bad the product is, as long as it's sufficient for their needs and they don't have to worry about it.
As long as you have to police the apps that get on phones, there's patch Tuesday for MicroSoft and similar mechanisms for other "tech", I wouldn't trust any of those companies driving my car. The way they work is focus on features and functionality and not on security and resiliency. They don't deal with obscure cases, because the amount of consumers that will ever have one occur is just too low to warrant spending money on them. Their whole design and business process just isn't right for this type of technology and they'd have zero experience with it even if they changed that.
Ralph Nadar's "Unsafe at any speed" was way too long ago. It's time for a new one. Have you ever wondered why professional racing drivers, all going the same way on a track that has had all intersections and other traffic removed, need safety cages, special clothing and whatnot to protect themselves? It's not (just) about the higher speed they are driving, it's because the cars they drive would be horribly dangerous without them. Still, we get in the cars that professional drivers deem too dangerous to drive even when there's no morons on the road, no kids to suddenly run onto the streets and no moose that will just not get out of the way. Did you know that the road tests they do with the Corvette on the German public road called the Nordschleife was done with a safety cage welded in? They had to rent the place to do that, because you're not allowed to put a cage in when you drive there normally, unless it's been approved by the TuV (German DMV style organization).
It's just too cumbersome and expensive to make cars this level of safe for everyone in them. As long as the competition is still only making cars safe to get good ratings on hopelessly inadequate tests with only "average" sized dummies, no car manufacturer is going to make theirs safer. Their cars will just be too expensive for people and they'd work themselves out of business by doing so.
I'm 1.98m tall and there isn't a car where I'll have the same chance of a head or leg injury as someone that's 1.80m tall if I were to get into a crash. Over half of all the cars out there, have "unsafe protrusions" for people my size that would either completely fail, or get extremely low safety ratings if they'd be there for the dummy-sized persons. Over 70% of anyone reading this, will have a body shape that results in similar actual safety statistics for practically every car out there.
Rear and side impact tests are tested at much lower speeds, and the results in terms of injury and survivability are much less important than frontal impacts for total safety ratings. Rear impact crashes at over 50 mph aren't even required to be survivable. Side impact crashes aren't even tested at that speed, because they'd just show that everyone in the car would be either heavily injured or dead.
You may argue that they test the most for the cases where people get hurt the most, and you'd be right. However, that doesn't mean they shouldn't be making cars safe in other cases too. Just because most people will not hit other cars when they crash into something and they usually crash the front of the car into other things, doesn't make it okay to have car seats snap off at 30 mph if you get hit from the rear. It's not hard or even that much more expensive to make seats that don't do that, but it'd be cutting the profit margin of the manufacturer. This is just one of many examples where car manufacturers cut corners. It's unfortunate that one of the few that have been trying to do at least a little better without regulations and tests, Saab, hasn't been competitive for a long time and has gone bankrupt. If only a few manufacturers would start competing on actual safety records and not on test results, things would change. The only chance we have i
Yeah, they are much warmer. They invite their neighbours over for some rockets, or a helicopter attack. Or they assume they can build on their neighbours land. the USA may be not the warmest place socially, but the Middle East isn't that friendly either.
It may have to do with the aggressiveness that this tiny country keeps using to conquer all the prime farming and building land at it's border for the pas 60 years. People kind of resent it if you do that and tend to attack you to take the land back. They'll stop that after a few dozen years if you stop taking land, usually, if we may believe history. However, if you do it again and again, you just keep adding enemies to replace the ones that have died from old age. Maybe that's a practice Israel should consider, if it has to spend so much money on "defence".
Most PV seems to have a limited life span. From what I understand, you can expect a MTBF of 10-20 years or something like that and then they are garbage. With thermal, you can more or less infinitely replace parts. The downside is that thermal requires more maintenance because you have the generator bit to take care off, but if your scale is big enough, it might be worth it?
Signing a vote isn't going to help one bit because fake citizens can be created that can sign fake votes.
You need anonymity to make certain people vote for whom they want, not whom they want others to think they should vote for.
The only way to prevent rigging is to make certain people get to vote in anonymity, but to be able to see every individual vote go into the ballot and after the voting has ended, be counted by many (independent) eyes.You need to control/bribe a lot of people if you want to get away with rigging an election if that system is in place.
So when a social engineer knows such a system is in place, (s)he will devise a way to do their engineering without the system interfering or finding out. It isn't as if there is no protection or detection put on IT systems already. The trick of social engineering is to use the human factor to work around the technical countermeasures to get to their goal. Putting heuristic systems in place that will try to detect if a technical action may be part of a hacking attempt hasn't stopped virus developers from making viruses that successfully circumvent that. That's essentially all that this is, an attempt to do heuristic detection of malware or mal-action, just like a virus scanner.

However, if you do it again and again, you just keep adding enemies to replace the ones that have died from old age. Maybe that's a practice Israel should consider, if it has to spend so much money on "defence".
Most PV seems to have a limited life span. From what I understand, you can expect a MTBF of 10-20 years or something like that and then they are garbage. With thermal, you can more or less infinitely replace parts. The downside is that thermal requires more maintenance because you have the generator bit to take care off, but if your scale is big enough, it might be worth it?
Signing a vote isn't going to help one bit because fake citizens can be created that can sign fake votes.
You need anonymity to make certain people vote for whom they want, not whom they want others to think they should vote for.
The only way to prevent rigging is to make certain people get to vote in anonymity, but to be able to see every individual vote go into the ballot and after the voting has ended, be counted by many (independent) eyes.You need to control/bribe a lot of people if you want to get away with rigging an election if that system is in place.
Because it's an advertorial? It's not as if it's news for nerds, or stuff that matters, is it?
So when a social engineer knows such a system is in place, (s)he will devise a way to do their engineering without the system interfering or finding out. It isn't as if there is no protection or detection put on IT systems already. The trick of social engineering is to use the human factor to work around the technical countermeasures to get to their goal. Putting heuristic systems in place that will try to detect if a technical action may be part of a hacking attempt hasn't stopped virus developers from making viruses that successfully circumvent that. That's essentially all that this is, an attempt to do heuristic detection of malware or mal-action, just like a virus scanner.
