If not a RAID (those tend to fail just as hard) get at least two, possibly three copies of each file on separate drives. The last thing you want is to wait for RAIDs to recover and watch them fail during recovery, with your only copy of a file on them.
With most hacks, the application gets hacked and the attacker gets access to whatever users privileges the application is running as. That user usually is an administrator when you're on windows, or it has access to local exploits that target administrator or system accounts. On linux, chances that someone gets root after compromising an application are smaller, or require more manual work at least. That makes the OS safer, but as you said, the chance to get hacked is just as big. Mind you, the OS is safer against automated attacks and script kiddies. Someone that really wants to get in and knows what they are doing, often can still find a privilege escalation.
Regardless of what coding you are picking up, you should be training your brain to re-learn the things you need to become successful at coding. You'll need some games/stimulants/training to get that going and keep it a challenge. Maybe people here will know good (self)therapy methods for that? All I can come up with is Sudoku, but there must be more?
you can't execute a social engineering attack without knowing something about the user....
Sure you can. You just have to be good at social engineering. Social engineering involves people telling you things and doing things for you without a proper reason to do so. If they knew all the things they should know to get the help desk to verify it was the actual user, it's not social engineering, but just lying.
Your answer can not contain any characters that aren't in the [A-Z][a-z] range and can not be more than 12 characters. Also, they do not exist on our list of pre-approved names and Cities. If you were born in Mooselookmeguntic (ME), or Chickasawhatchee (GA) you will not be able to use our service. Have a nice day mister Moon Unit.
There is a long-term-support version 10 available. It's not bad and will last you at least another year. That being said: I recently switched my main computer to 14 from 10, once I found out that 14 was way easier on memory than 10.
It totally depends on the plugins you use. I have routinely over 300 tabs open and have several plugins that appear to be leaking. The end result is that even typing this comment gives me frequent 2 second lag in screen updates and flash movies aren't watchable.
It's not possible to tell firefox to run each tab/window as a separate process, or each tab/pages plugins as a separate container. That way, it'd be easy to find out which plugin and which tab is giving you crap and you could work around it or file meaningful bugreports.
You're just jealous that your country isn't the first to move to 100% solar an making up a sad excuse. If they had 30% of the worlds oil reserve and stopped exporting because they wanted to promote solar power, it wouln't take more than three minutes for the USA to come up with an excuse to declare war on them, as a country.
I've never had any "live chat" calls where the agent was swift at responding, asking the right question, using the information I just typed or not helping at least 3 other people (they admitted that nonsense answers/requests from them were supposed to be typed in another customers window) or even fast at typing.
Bottom line is, either be good at your work and like it, or go flip burgers. Being an "IT Support Pro" isn't for everybody and if you blame your problems on the user, you don't have the right attitude. I know I just described 95% of the help desk staffers, but that is the sad truth, it's a dirty job and good staff is hard to find for that.
You are assuming here, that thieves are actually smart enough to do so. Most common crime thieves simply lack the brain power to randomize their victims, M.O. and such and not pee their pants at the same time.
Unfortunately, society can't or won't afford catching smart thieves and most methods used by law enforcement in general only catch criminals that make obvious mistakes. The smarter thieves usually end up in politics, banking or the stock market.
Also, there are countries where you would be prosecuted for things you wouldn't be in most countries where/. is readable. What about people that want to chat about their forbidden homosexuality? What about victims discussing religious figures raping children entrusted to them? A lot of things that should have a place where it's safe to discuss them would be a lot worse off if people's real name would be attached to those discussions. We wouldn't have been able to hear from the dissidents in Egypt and Lybia if their names were routinely added to their postings, because the whole revolution would have been smothered before it started. Countless examples in history and modern times exist as to why "real name accounts" are generally a bad idea.
In Korea, everyone is named Kim! Only the 0.09% of the population that has another name, has stopped from posting bad comments. Or is there another reason why only 0.09% of the people in South Korea maybe didn't change their habits? Causation and Correlation can be strange things.
If apple wrote a song, you'd be sued for using the same sequence of chords, or the same key. With pop music, if you don't do that, you don't get to be #1 on the billboards. It's a strange world we live in....
The court explicitly declared that the money should go to the artists. If the artists decide it should be used for that, fine, but it should be going to the artists first. If they decide to give it to someone else for some other purpose, whatever, but not giving it to the artists is violating a direct court decision.
What steps exactly protect me from terrorists? They only thing that is going to stop these "terrorists" is to give them what they want. They don't do compromise. Also, the chance that you die from a terrorist attack in Australia, The US, Canada or Europe is much smaller than dying from lightning. You stand a bigger chance winning the lottery than dying from terrorists. About the only cause of death that is less likely to occur is being struck by a meteor. Why is it then, that the entire population should give up it's freedom to prevent "dying from terrorists"? I doubt that is the real reason. What is the real reason? It's probably just stupidity, but you can come up with your own conspiracy theory if you don't believe that, or any of the existing theories.
The vast majority of the phones that Nokia is actually selling isn't based on Windows Phone. The windows phones aren't selling, since they are already announced to be a dead platform before the end of the year. Nobody wants to buy a phone that doesn't get updates, there are no users for the phone so nobody develops apps for it, so it's not the Windows Phone Devision but the Windows Phone house of morning.
No, the 6th amendment is only for US citizens. Foreigners and companies do not enjoy such rights. One of the reasons why things like Gitmo get to exist is exactly this. You may want to amend the 6th amendment to include any person or company, if freedom and equal rights mean anything to you as People of the USA.
Who needs hammers if all that's required is your name on the wrong list? He won't be able to fly, get a government or bank job and will probably be unable to get a job flipping burgers starting Monday if they'd take him seriously.
I wouldn't be surprised if the mass production of pre-installed systems will be helped with some sort of system that installs "enterprise/OEM" keys into the OS or the BIOS so fully automated installs can take place.
Now where have we seen this done before and what happened because of it?. I doubt this whole "secure boot" thing will last very long before software pirates will have found a way around it again. Once that happens, so will the malware authors and the wohle exercise will be useless again, just like all the other copy protection and anti malware schemes implemented by MicroSoft in their desktop operating systems.
Why would the method of construction matter as to what the actual end result is. Even if it's made in the digestive channel of a rhinoceros, if it is able to fire bullets it's a firearm and should be regarded as such by regulations.
You could charge them lots of money, but the real question is, would it be a sustainable business possibility. If you need to charge them more that they'd be willing to pay just to cover your costs, you wouldn't be able to make money on it.

There is no "news for nerds" value in his astroturfing, so he doesn't deserve getting a front page post, nor does he deserve a break.
