Yeah, I know about this 'statistics' stuff--I took several Masters level classes in it. However, in Stats 101 all freshman find out that you can manipulate any data to show whatever you wish. Another reason why this logic is flawed.
There is a flaw in this testimony. The programmer absolutely states that if exit polling data is different from the totals from the machine it means there has been tampering. You can't make that jump in logic.
Exit polling data has always been inconsistent in that the interviewer picks and chooses what they think is a sample which is representative of the majority. If they choose the wrong people that will affect the sample. And, depending on when the exit polling was done this will influence the exit polling. On any random day there has been statistical skew as to when liberals vote versus conservatives vote. If you end exit polling early on one site or start late on another site you can have exit polling different from what the actual totals are.
>>but the characters kept making stupid decisions, and even more stupid decisions, and were jerked around and did things with such sudden shifts in interest and personality
You obviously don't realize season 2 is just emulating life right? Just replace "characters" with "management".
While an American keeps winning The Tour de France, Europeans have been winning the Ironman race in Kona lately (www.ironman.com). So, I guess it's just that everyone does better outside their own country. Probably just showing off...
Absolutely nothing. It seems the context of what I was saying was missed. I use RHEL extensively and am glad that Fedora is used to bug test new releases. My post was confused as why they don't want to be seen as the bug testers for RHEL.
They obviously are the bug testers: they have obligations to RHEL and use the same tools now. This is a good thing. My confusion is why does Fedora want to distance itself away from this? That's what the Slashdot summary seems to indicate: that the Fedora developers don't want to be seen this way. But, when you read the article it clearly indicates the opposite. That's the confusion.
The summary seems to imply that Fedora will now be less a beta for RHEL but the article discusses in depth how Fedora is now going to be using testing tools from RHEL and how they obviously have obligations to RHEL. If this doesn't provide more evidence that Fedora *is* just a beta for RHEL I don't what will.
Features are not bad so long as you have the option to load them or not load them. Personally, I have no use for spelling checking (or feature x) in a browser. But if I wanted it, it should be easy just to download and install the module and then just as easy to unload when I am through with it.
A man in the middle attack will breach just about any security you have. Unless you can recognize it, or teach others to, this sort of attack will always work. The trick is that it is sophisticated and you have to educate people to know when they are connecting to the correct site or not; that is, check the URL and the SSL certificate when connected. And, never use self-signed SSL certificates.
As quoted here (http://redtape.msnbc.com/2006/07/what_happened_t. html) it appears the laptop and hard drive were for sale separately. That means the hard drive had been removed from the computer. The buyer states he bought both items at the same time and he (the buyer) probably put both back together. That means the hard drive was out of the laptop for some time.
Most of the beat cops don't do the investigation work. They deal with immediate crisis and if not doing that cruise around looking for problems. This is probably not going to be something they are actively doing but if driving through a neighborhood with nothing to do they might stop and drop off a letter.
The letter is not a threat or violation but a courtesy notice that you are open to potential problems. It is exactly like a cop stopping and telling you your wife left the door to your house open. You can skip the advice but don't be surprised if you find someone standing in your house you didn't invite; or conversely, someone on your network you didn't invite.
But I kept getting problems with my computer while reading the ad filled apology page.
Apparently, I needed to download some software because my computer was out of date. Thank goodness I visited LiveJournal today, which told me to update with their new UrP0wnd.exe update.
It got him fired when publicity came out. AOL has had a long history of this. I ran into this years and years ago when trying to cancel a free 100 hours account before broadband. The victim is probably Vincent who was just doing what his supervisor told him to do. But, atlas, that's what you get to be when the bottom falls out; the scapegoat at the bottom.
While they may have just realized this everyone else has already known about it. Three years ago I attended BlackHat in Vegas and they presenters already were doing this.
They showed live examples and had very interesting stories about how they were reprogramming cheese to send RFID signals saying they were shavings products. Also, the store they were doing this in used RFID on all their products to make sure everything is shelved in the right place. They would reprogram an item on the shelf (already in the right place) to emit a signal saying it was something else. When the store came by to move the item to the correct place all they would find is the correct item. The presenters say it drove the store nuts.
It is not the software they are worried about. They are worried about a hardware compromise. Now that a Chinese company can control what happens within the computer they can "do" a lot.
The representative is not crying wolf. If you speak with anyone in the intelligence business China has a very aggressive spying program and they will stop at nothing. (I know because I have heard this first hand from the people who do counter-intelligence.) Put it this way, if the Chinese government could put spying ability into Leveno laptops they would.
I think the gist of the article was not that the user had to work with a different interface. But that multimedia and other hardware issues prevented someone from doing exactly the same thing on a Windows OS versus a Linux OS on the same machine. OSX will not work on a Vaio, but multimedia would work out of the box.

Don't worry about him. He has a spinoff series in the works as a detective.
I'd watch it...

Of course you can tell the mine the war is over, but will it really want to self-destruct?
What happens when the mine "chooses" not be inactivated?

I got the letter stating my info was in there.
(Although I saw this article earlier elsewhere.)
Which will arrive first?
Vista
or
Perl 6
The race is on...
I would have typed correctly "the one whom we do not mention" in, but I didn't want to be sued a second time by the nameless one.
Darryl first. He will probably want a license fee even if he has never heard of your distribution.
Like new security holes?
