As others have explained an instance can tell if it's a guest or a host, but it cannot distinguish between being a guest on a host and being a guest on a guest on a host. If you think that sounds crazy, you should really watch "Inception".
Either the claims will be backed up by independently reproduced tests or they won't. But, given his apparent track record in this area and the obvious scrutiny this would bring, Skorobogatov must have been sure of his results before announcing this.
I used to think that too. However, it's clear to me that you haven't been listening to BBC Radion 5Live at any point in the past month since they have been advertising Fighting Talk's Big Day Out pretty much constantly. Since this is not a free event to attend and is actually organised by the BBC, not just broadcast by them then I say yes, they certainly are selling something.
There are plenty more examples, it's just that this one is currently getting on my nerves the most.
Right, but that's rather the point, isn't it? I mean if Apple block the use of the app, but not the access to the web site then only they are losing out, and if users who would normally use the app decide to use the web site instead then they might not go back to using the app when/if Apple permits it again. ISTM that there's 2 ways a user can do the same thing, one way might get Apple some cash and the other way certainly won't. They've blocked the former. Have I misunderstood?
If you believe the stats which are constantly flung at us, maybe 90% of adults have a mobile phone. Certainly, if I were concerned about the reliability of a fibre link to the premises for phone calls I would be using mobile as a backup, not copper.
In the UK this only applies to things said within the house of commons.
Point of information: it also applies to things said within the House of Lords as well. In fact to anything said within the chambers of the Houses of Parliament by members of those houses (hence the term).
stry_cat sounds highly principled and I for one applaud him for it. It's not an easy step to take but it certainly can be the right one. If I were stry_cat I would look to get the new job sorted before quitting the old one, of course. Hopefully that's what they're doing.
As to the question of where to look, why not start with the big players? RedHat, Canonical, IBM, Google all (clearly) make serious use of open source technologies. Outside of pure IT there are plenty of others who do the same: Amazon, eBay, CERN, NASA, etc.
If you have a skill in a particular area (a language, an application, a protocol), most of those will have their own job board or similar and you probably know already where to look for that. Good luck in the search.
All they have to say is "We believe this file is encrypted using stenography, give us the password"
Yeah, it's those stenographers and their suspicious-looking keyboards. They're bound to be up to no good. It seems like they've infiltrated every court in the land, too.
I think the multi-window arrangement made more sense than it does now back when focus-follows-mouse was the dominant focus control method in unix-a-like environments, but almost everyone now uses click-to-focus.
I'm slightly surprised at that assertion, mostly because the very first thing I have to change when using a vanilla WM is the focus behaviour to focus-follows-mouse (or pointer). Clicking to focus seems a waste of a click - the pointer is already in the window, why should I click just to get focus? And in doing so, I've got to watch what I click on - if it's a browser I would have to take care that I'm not clicking on a link, etc.
Am I so much in the minority here?
And, just to keep this vaguely on topic, I like the MWD and have no plans to enable single window mode in GIMP.

Indeed. Orient is a noun, orientate is a verb. This is why, among other things, there are orientation sessions but never oriention sessions.

What's to stop an iP* user going directly to the dropbox website anyway?
"Elite tech site"??!!? What a joke.
I think he's referring to SlashBI.
The last bastion of independent analysis, the seeker of truth and the purveyor of equanimity.
Oh wait, I'm thinking of someone else.
Really, if you do everything which Gartner advises you not to, you won't go far wrong.
Cell phones are ubiquitous to the point where even the UN considers them a basic human right.
Yeah, what's with the news these days? All we ever hear about is one humanitarian cell-phone drop after another.
You would think so, wouldn't you?
Bing still has half the market share of Google.
Perhaps your definition of "half" is very different from everyone else's.
The director has nothing to do with this.
Really? Perhaps you can explain precisely what the director in charge of this service is doing to earn their salary?

With Autism rates up around the 5.5 in 1,000 range (that's under half a percentage)
No. No, it really isn't.

No need.
I know a guy who uses bing exclusively, he avoids all things google because they track everything you do.
Does he also travel everywhere by jet-powered luge because he thinks cars are so dangerous?
Agreed. Also I would have a very different life if not for dmr. His contribution to the field simply cannot be overstated.
I hate to break it to you, but Bing has a very long way to go to make it that far up the list.
Except that the Trans-Siberian Railway already exists and has done so for decades.

We need a new mod category: "Far Too Informative".
