The whole premise with cash is they claim it COULD be ill gotten money, from drugs. Somehow, you're supposed to be able to prove it wasn't drug money. Money in a bank account has always been considered off limits to them because you can almost certainly show how it ended up there. Only with a court order could they get it. I don't understand how this isn't armed robbery. They aught to round them all up and put them in jail, from whoever authorized this down to the cop doing it. Make them prove it wasn't armed robbery. If it was, the citizen gets the money back and damages that extend into their personal property. A cop could lose his house.
I bet that would stop it cold. No cop would do it.
Just think about the engineering that'll have to go into something like that. I bet they'll make a lot of new discoveries. They'll also pay a price for it. Achievements like that don't come cheap, in money or men. One screwup at that depth and that's it.
Every time I see a bunch of patents up for sale, it's like seeing a car load of thugs in the neighborhood that you know don't belong there. Sooner or later they'll be trying to extract cash for those patents. Patent troll's dream. Bunch of patents to misuse. Almost as bad as giving a kid a revolver to play with, only with the kid it's probably safer.
Stealing money for the state, just like pirates used to do.
They used to hang pirates. I think we should bring the practice back, for cops that do this. Also, the states attorneys that have them do this.
In this story - http://www.newschannel5.com/ne... the lady overseeing it all was just full of herself. She didn't give a crap that she was taking college money, other legitimate money at all. She should have been taken right out and hung from the nearest tree along with her merry band of cops she was encouraging to do this.
She was voted right out in the story I saw. However I feel she should be prosecuted for armed robbery along with the cops. In the above story it's very very clear that's exactly what they were doing. Robbing people at gunpoint. No better than a common jack booted thug.
Google, they can find anything. So if you say anything against Eva Perone.... er I mean Hilary Clinton they could find you and terminate your google account. For a lot of us, that could really really suck. From phones, tablets, Nest controllers.... and in some cases on and on and on.
There is nothing absolute about it. It isn't as if the US will say - in your case South Africa - no no, Bad South Africa - you must use our DNS. If you don't, we'll [pick something - kick your ass, embargo, sit in the corner, Send (Hilary or Trump) to visit.. whatever].
If you want to go, go. Nobody is forcing you to use the US dns.
Good luck with that though. On the other hand, giving up control would be really stupid. The one sure fire way to screw something up good is to as a bunch of people's opinion. Especially a bunch of people without a clue, and that's what you'd get. It would be the lowest forms of life on earth - politicians.
Suddenly, the internet is useless. The flow of Porn would slow down or stop (See the internet is for porn). The humanity, oh the humanity!
Construction companies never have detours. Radio stations never tell people about problems. Just because they were looking down doesn't mean waze. Could be they were texting or doing something else. Who knows.
I use waze every day. I seldom have to actually look at it, especially in traffic. I just glance for police usually. Waze will verbally tell me of changes.
What's a BOFH to do? With auto correct this could cut down trouble calls a lot. It's a BOFH's highlight of the day to get those calls. http://bofh.bjash.com/
"My dog shit on the left side of the road", "Obama is an animal, Michelle told us, he's good all night!", "I was in Montana once in my life, saw a really nice chick!", "The Republicans are serving donkey burgers out in the parking lot", "Tonight Hilary will take Bill on the stage, sit down on a chair and spank him on camera with a hairbrush!", "This summer I will get laid by 20 virgins, every one of them a 10" Of course, nobody would ever guess the last one.
Notice, the spaces in the password. This throws off a lot of people. The phrases are also very memorable. You may want to throw in some special characters, the date, stuff like that someplace. They would also likely not be broken anytime soon as long as you salt it with the special stuff. At least by brute force. The more creative the better. Some people take a traditional 8 char password they used to use and put it at the front or end.
Not me, Nobody would ever guess Password1$. Nobody!
Why, need a highly secure password? Could use sha512 on/var/log/messages, twice. Even once, heck, even a md5 has on/var/log/secure. That'll make a 32 character password. Good luck breaking that. Good luck ever remembering it.
We're criticizing a guy that made a big company and the 800 Lbs gorilla in the room says it wants to do what you do? Possibly replace you? He had probably been approached for a buyout before.
I think anyone would be very concerned (i.e. shit their pants). He faced a very real threat. He managed to survive. I think he had the right reaction, do whatever he could to stop it.
Who knows, if Google bought them out, they could be one of the many projects in the Google graveyard by now.
The NSA will buy it, or some other Three-Letter-Acronym organization. And by "buy it" I mean abduct him, steal it, and dissolve him in a bathtub.
That's funny. Watching breaking bad or something? State nations don't have to do something like that. They can make people disappear and never get found a lot cheaper than the bathtub trick.
I did a win 7 machine and a win 8 machine. Both were HP products, one a desktop, the other a laptop. Took a while to suck down all the stuff and do it. However the win 7 machine actually fixed some problems with 10. It's running like a champ. The 8 machine, well it's way better than 8 IMHO. I have recommended just doing it. Nobody I know has had a problem.
Sounds like the whining I used to hear about going to XP, some other versions. So far no BSOD, or other problems. Sometimes I don't appreciate how it'll reboot to update itself, however. Probably a setting.
Good idea. Hilary should stick to what she knows. What is that exactly? She's clueless side of Trump. Not that I support trump. Wish we had a third choice. Maybe the local dog catcher.
Why can't someone who's achieved celebrity through a combination of brilliance and science communication then speak up in response?
I don't think you have thought about this much, have you. Politics isn't nice. Those that are not in it enter at their own peril. Criticize any of them and you're fair game. Do you think he's up to that task? He should have been smarter than to have said anything. At best nothing happens. At worst it could burn up an incredible amount of his time. It's not worth it, especially since he's a Brit.
Besides, I think we'll find that Trump is the best person for the job. If it were anyone else running and say Hilary manages to get the Dem nod, we'd all be saying ANYONE is better than these two, even a dog catcher! Well this time we have our wish. Someone that's not a politician. What could go wrong?
Kennedy - We'll put a man on the moon! Obama - We'll put men into the Women's bathroom! How's that for a legacy.
Understand that this is from a man that has demonstrated that he doesn't care about the law. More to the point, it's there for political purposes in his mind. I'm sure we don't have long to wait before Obama starts emptying the jails just like Holder did with Clinton. I'm sure he left a list of people to free.
So I wouldn't confuse his opinion with what is the right thing to do is or actual law. He may get something right, however even a broken clock is right twice a day.
There's a program called screen. It's been around for decades. Used to be we'd lose out connection on our dialups, then firewalls used to get us due to inactivity. Someone wrote an ingenious program called screen. It'll survive those things. Just run whatever you want in that window. You can then detach and later reattach. No problem. The bummer is some of the key bindings conflict with Emacs.
BTW, this isn't a "system D" problem. It's a change to how the shell works. It's been there for years. Stop being systemd haters, get over it already. Man up and learn it. I did and I have over 30 years of working with the old SYS V and BSD. If you don't want to learn it because it's too hard (as if it's too hard), do something else. There's plumbing, electrical, house framing, welding. All of those fields need a lot of people. You'll have to learn stuff there as well, however. Some places require the old Union progression. Journeyman, Master, etc.
ms fucked up NT 4. We all know it. Mangers insisted on using it anyway. The M$ pr machine was at its peek. They took a networking package that they couldn't give away, Novel owned that market, repackaged it, called it NT... and sold the crap out of it. Never mind you needed about 4 times the resources to do the same thing that Novel did. Never mind netbui still sucked.
OS/2 was no real prize compared with Unix either. No surprise, Unix was about 25 years old when OS2 came out and outclassed it at every level. Still, way better than windows.
Sounds like someone wants a big juicy contract to migrate a bunch of properly working Cobol code to something else. Probably something windows based with all the security holes that come with Windows.
If it's working, don't mess with it. I know other agencies that use Cobol running on Unix/Linux boxes. Works fine.
Let's stick to the original question. Don't let an AC change what is being discussed. They are not the same thing and the AC knows it.
If he wanted to use the bank bit, it would be like the bank allowing anyone off the street to see my banking business. In my case that's boring. For some people, like politicians - that's gold there. They really don't want anyone looking at their business.
Strong passwords are great. However I've had some systems and Solaris was one of them where the setup checking for bad passwords was way to strong. Anything I typed in it said had a word in it. Even if it was the first 20 chars of a MD5 hash. Really sucks when you spend about 30 minutes coming up with something it'll take. Sometimes I simply did a real password on a Linux machine and then pasted the hash into the Solaris box defeating them. So there.
This could become the same situation. You'll have to write it down.
