"Officials with RIM said they are trying to reset the system and told NewsChannel4 that they are concerned that the backlog of data, which will rush through when it comes back on line, could cause a bigger problem"
I recently signed up for their unlimited plan. I figured it would be great to tether my laptop to it and have access where ever I might be.
When I went to connect, no dice.
I called them up and they said that no, it isn't unlimited if you want to tether, that is a different plan and will be another $15 a month. So apparently it isn't just limited for bandwidth, but it is also limited in how one may use it. I told them to take their unlimited plan and shove it...
Reminds me of the Capital One "No Hassle" card. For some reason, that thing is more hassle than any of the others in my wallet.
And even then the data itself is only worth what it would have cost to re-document or got through the litigation of not having it. A lot of money to be sure, but not 38 billion.
Ya, we thought about that early on. Except for the pesky problem of sending data to different time zones. Now everything is off for them...
Problem not solved.
As another engineer working on this, you forgot to mention Java (yes, Java), Oracle, z/OS, every Linux appliance known to man, Firewalls, IDP's, Cisco, most RADIUS, EMC SANs, and even, wait for it, wait for it...Google Appliances....
You completely misunderstand. It isn't the UTC/NTP that is the problem, it is the client's representation of that time that is the problem. One must patch, because a machine's client interface still thinks that the time hasn't changed yet, and all logs and mail will be represented as one hour off. Exactly down to the millisecond 1 hour off, but still off. This becomes a much bigger deal when talking about Exchange, because Exchange stores time in 4 different places, and all of the tables and messages must be corrected.
I am simply shocked that no one stated that the type of card that is currently being used is stored in the registry, and he could have simply looked. All of this "was it wireless" "was it not wireless" could have been blown out of the water.
Also, the guy kept referring to MAC addresses being transmitted in the packet, they aren't. They are transmitted in the frame. IP knows nothing of MAC addresses. There were so many flaws in his testimony I was simply dying while reading it...I so wanted to be there to tug on someone's shoulder and say "WAIT, he just said IPV4, now he said IPV6! and "if behind NAT, the addresses are irrelevant, and DO NOT have to be RFC1918 compliant private, they can be any address one chooses". ARG...
But what he will do is listen to every vendor that comes down the pike. Approve hair brained projects that do little or nothing for security. Be vulnerable to others in the organization who think that they know about security. I could go on and on.
The security manager who knows nothing about security is probably the most damaging and costly in all of IT.
Truly the best upgrade was from 3.1 to 95. Second best, 95 to NT4. In a relatively short time, those advances were huge. 2000 really wasn't that much better than NT4, its just that the general public wasn't using NT4 that much...
And I disagree with that. RIAA went after people who were sharing files, for which there can be legitimate and not necessarily infringing use, using questionable legal tactics. Fox is going after someone in the inside who most definitely didn't have the right to distribute and who is causing serious damage, using perfectly legitimate legal means.
I hate the **AA's as much as the next guy, but on this one, fine with me, I hope they get the guy....
Wikipedia being slow on search has nothing to do with their bandwidth. It has everything to their processing and disk speed, which is why the hardware is at the top of their list on costs...
2 stroke engines are far more polluting than either 4 stroke gas or diesel engines. They must mix their oil with their fuel, creating an exhaust that cannot be cleaned up (well) with catalytic converters or urea injection. This is why they have been all but banned in advanced industrialized nations.
I think that is highly unlikely, in fact almost unthinkable. After all, a major portion of their business rides on the fact that people store mail there. If they were to lose that service entirely, Lycos would be hosed.
They do a lot of business with Netapp for their storage, so I'm guessing they not only keep backups in multiple locations simultaneously (via MPLS or something), but they also keep a bunch of versions of it spinning on on disk too. So not only do they have it, they have whatever version she might want of it.
Storage technology has become just as sophisticated and mind blowing as everything else in the technology world, so storing and backing up all that data is really no big deal...
The greeny, tree hugger, hybrid car set would love this. As long as they could be ensured everyone else knew why they bought it, they would buy them up in droves. They should put some kind of logo on them that reflects their "contribution" to the world. Yep, that will work perfectly.
Toyota learned this marketing move on their hybrid cars, and redesigned their "hybrid" badges and logos to be much larger.
All of Indiana, and more like 90% going one way and 10% going the other. It was fun to talk to Microsoft about getting a fix for all of our Exchange calenders...well, at least they were laughing...
"...as both MD5 and SHA-1; standard hashing functions used to prove that data has not been tampered with have BOTH been proven to have collision domains (places where different data can have the same hash)."
In a theoretical world, using massive cluster computers and years of research knowledge. I wouldn't bark up that tree in front of a country judge...
Basing the judgment that the computer was not on a wireless router on the IP address is not only incorrect, it is a huge problem with his statements. Simply ask, is it possible to have an external IP connected to an internal wireless system and then use Network Address Translation to connect that address to the external network (internet)? Answer: no, he is wrong. Yes, his statement and opinion is flawed.
Next, why didn't he look in the registry to determine exactly what driver was active at the time, and for what type of network card was that driver for? Wouldn't this definitely determined if it was on a wireless network? Did he not know this? Again, yes, then why didn't he say that to the court? No, what good are his statements?
Finally, are the methods used to determine an infinger's IP address sound? Yes, then why doesn't this drive have the data they expect (after all, it was he who said the data was unalterable)? No, then how can they subpoena anyone using that method?
Well, Regan actually did get shot, and Brady was crippled. I think its fair to say those outcomes make them a little more noteworthy. If Ford had actually taken one for the team it would be a little more well known.

When in doubt, reboot!

Wait, don't apologize for trying to fix the problem...
Are they going to take PayPal down for dealing in virtual money?
I think everyone should have the Linux codebase...oh, wait...

Grateful Dead bootlegs are legal (or at least endorsed).
Yes, they do.
