As a working stiff seriously just trying to keep up with my rent, I'll ask the Slashdots, is this idea kickstarter worthy, because I can't actually finance the application myself at this time? As always, I'll set the default answer at NO. But oh so how I wish I was proven wrong, yet there's that cynicism kicking in again. Have a nice day y'all, and thanks for the complement, while I get back to bulking SSL certificates. Ho hum.
In a homicide investigation, it really helps if you actually have a dead body with which to continue working with. What the defense here is saying effectively, "you haven't found the body, have you? So where is your case then? And certainly, what exactly are the legal merits of your case based upon the legal evidence available, so you claim?"
Technology Students in Southern California and Florida have managed to achieve a breakthrough in cloud-storage. Imagine for a moment, if you could possibly harness the entire storage volume of The Cloud, and then increase that by a trillion-fold! That's exactly what these students have achieved by a technique having to do with their ability to create an environment with sustained, extremely cold temperatures over a lengthy period of time. Imagine all the clouds you could see across the Wyoming horizon, and then holding all of them in something a lot like an ordinary ice cube tray. That's the power of the cloud, where the lightening comes from(tm)!
However I'm still somewhat foggy as to how they implement it. I've even heard there's even a subgroup of those technology students that "likes to crush the cloud", whatever that's supposed to mean.
Now excuse me while I water that last patch of grass you're standing on please, using only cloud energy, of course as I'm write publicly on The Slashdots to be read worldwide and forever.
A crew of us was flying into Dallas one rime, circling the field. That was when pagers were big and cell phones were not.
We all got a Sky Page about a Dallas flight circling DFW because of unknown mechanical failure and a crash landing was inevitable.
Our buddies in Virginia thought it was funny.
Oh wow, what a classic old school hack! I'd have smacked them all first chance possible, but I'm in admiration for their thought, concern, and effort still. They must really, really like you and the rest of the team, and it shows.
Please just don't tell me this was SITA text, or I'm gonna die laughing too hard (having worked with SITA before). SITA text will never die.
The hackers could broadcast a fake NBC news TV report that 'inadvertently' made its way to the plane video system. The news report would obviously declare that particular plane is known to carry the Ebola virus and no one onboard could be trusted as safe anymore, and chances for their survival are small, yet the risk to the larger world very great. I'll leave the plot continuation to the next bored slashdotter. (Obviously matters must be taken into hand)
Maybe, but you might also be thinking about a certain yacht marina in Santa Cruz. http://www.latimes.com/local/l.... The name of the motor-yacht is Escape BTW, and it is now for sale by the Ex-Google gambler's widow, (because he lost).
The summary says Qatar is worried of being attacked and overtaken in a technological arms race, by Saudi Arabia. Really? Since when?
From TFA:
Politics is behind Qatar’s willingness to pay for Hamas’ cyber-system. The Saudis believe that Qatar is behind efforts to unseat the Saudi royal family — using social media and the Al-Jazeera satellite channel — and Riyadh earlier this year recalled its ambassador to Doha, after he refused to pledge that it would “not interfere in others’ internal affairs,” according to Eli Aviad, who formerly headed Israel’s Economic Liaison office in Qatar.
I'd like something a little more substantive to back this up. The paragraph concludes:
While they are primarily interested in cyber self-defense, Aviad said, they are also interested in assisting their Muslim Brotherhood allies — and hence their willingness to fund the Hamas terror program. Hamas is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Sorry, I gotta take any news value coming from TFA with a chunk of salt.
That link you cited this time is so much better! Thank you very much; and at first glance your hosts file looks splendid. Thank you for taking the time to clarify yourself AC.
Well, I looked specifically for that once on the page you cited and couldn't find it, before I downloaded the.exe and inspected that. Really, truly. Why don't you save us all time and post the link here? Citations are kind of a standard, as is sarcasm on the Slashdots, but never you mind.
Sounds very interesting, except for a few details of my own following-up. Here's the hosts file, from the parent thread that I originally replied to. When I follow and download your stuff, I end up with a.exe executable file, which seems like kind of an untrustworthy hassle to deal with, just to extract a simple hosts file, as I'm (mostly) on Linux (etc). At which point I ran out of time and interest.
I'm sorry, but I am really only interested in seeing hosts file code I can read and install myself. But perhaps I am missing something which you might care to clarify? Please forgive me if this is the case, and feel free to do so.
That's really cool, and I'm gonna try it now. This has gotta be the first post on the Slashdots I've seen about host files not written from some raving lunatic, and actually very useful. Thanks!
I swear by Lee jeans, but to be very specific, the Lee 'Brooklyn' model which I have only found for purchase in Europe. Comparable 'loose' jeans, (not really loose on biker thighs) from Lee in the U.S. are slightly different, and not nearly as nice IMHO. I wish I knew where to buy them in the U.S. It seems companies like Jockey and Lee have totally different products for the E.U. and U.S. Lee used to have a 'Portland' that was even better than the 'Brooklyn', but that was years ago.
What was a most-pleasant surprise for me was to discover my 4" Nokia N9 fits perfectly tucked into the right-hand 'change' pocket. Really perfect and super comfortable, and it still leaves the larger right-hand pocket free and useful; and the phone doesn't roll around in it, look weird, etc. No one can even tell I have a phone on me. The U.S. version of the closest Lee jeans for me (not sure what the model is called) leaves the phone sticking about halfway up and out and not nearly as nice or comfortable. Probably for this reason alone, I'll stick with 4" phone factor, but there's other reasons too, like I plan to keep the N9 for a long time.
It could've been an accidental overdose, although reports from The Prosecution regarding the video evidence seem to indicate the alleged and easily identifiable tattooed hooker was rather cold-hearted given the accident/situation, and more than willing to walk away from all of it entirely, with the curtains drawn once it all went down, perhaps even with some sense of thrill given her past praise published on the internet for the TV series known as 'Dexter'. She could have looked around for a phone somewhere and at the very least dialed 911 as quickly as possible.
If this case was a result of Google Exec stress, then it has to due with the levels of competition not just in order to compete and to survive within Silicon Valley, but also the extremely high cost simply trying to live to get a job in the first place, and then subsequently have anything close to an actual life there. Some will survive and survive very well, and others will not. Which is what this story is all about. Stress is stress after all.
I think Charles Dickens even wrote a book on the subject called a Tale of Two Cities. Economists have termed this phenomenon as economic disparity; which of course drives competition.
But a psychotic self-absorbed young hooker might also be the predominant story here.
Edward Snowden certainly has name recognition in the security space, which in branding terms equals big money. He's got his share of wild and crazy times overseas doing various hijinx not always on the up and up, sorta just like other security specialists of an earlier generation. Sure, in terms of branding alone Snowden could easily become the next McAfee, and he's still very young!
And isn't as if they weren't both wanted on international warrants either; and street cred. does sell sneakers.
Here's the link to the blog post, that didn't make it into my previous reply: https://www.adayinthelifeof.nl.... It clarifies several reasons for using the standard port 22 for ssh.
Yes, you are right and I stand corrected. In fact late yesterday, I happened upon a blog post teaching me the same explanation you gave me just now:
when we start SSH on port 22, we know for a fact that this is done by root or a root-process since no other user could possibly open that port. But what happens when we move SSH to port 2222? This port can be opened without a privileged account, which means I can write a simple script that listens to port 2222 and mimics SSH in order to capture your passwords. And this can easily be done with simple tools commonly available on every linux system/server. So running SSH on a non-privileged port makes it potentially LESS secure, not MORE.
Thank you for your important clarification regarding my security practices.
Start your security process by not using port 22 for ssh, and instead using some random, legal 5-digit port number. Then block IPs from anyone doing a port scan. Also, setup port-knocking prior to any authorized user even starting to login using ssh. Of course certificates should only be used, not passwords for authorization. That should go a long way to keep the bad guys out.
Also bots tend to have the same user-agent strings, which tend to be obscure in and amongst themselves. These obscure, identifying user-agents can also be blocked, once identified.
To read and actually make sense of machine logs, the free ELK Stack rocks! Here's a guide to setup your own machine, for the purpose of reading logs in a very user-friendly way.
Replying to myself here. I was being sarcastic dammit. 'Separatists', in the most-classic sense, typically don't have such sophisticated weaponry or manpower at their disposal, when they 'rebel'. Duh.
I even cited with photos of what a BUK missile battery looks like. Please don't think I'm some sort of anarchist, okay?
Up until this period of time, airspace at that altitude, over this region, wasn't in any way shape or form considered to be a war-zone, I can assure you. Or else that commercial flight would not have been there in the first place. I do not believe this particular international commercial flight up there was something like an isolated event either. Now your point in retrospect perhaps...
That rag tag militia got lucky it seems, with a direct hit no less. Those light ammunitions gathered from round the house, what the odd Klashnikov and what have you.
TFA says he's a producer at AOL. Seeing as how he's an AOL employee, he probably needs a lot more bandwidth than you do, as you're someone who probably just works in I.T. Go figure. I don't understand anything about AOL either.
Obviously he needs way more bandwidth than he can get via an (AOL) dial-up modem, which explains why he's been with Comcast for the last 9 years.
Someone that works from home might opt for a larger package to obtain greater uploading bandwidth. I did that to advance from 1.5 to 6 Mbps recently myself, and I'm glad I did.
Maybe this is just AOL picking a Telecom fight with Comcast. Seriously, since when is it ever legal to record a call like this? But I suppose it becomes legal when you're on hold and the recording played to you says they'll record you first.
This New York Times article states he arrived to work at Microsoft, from Hyderabad, India in 1992. It says nothing about any initial H1b status of his. Obviously he lives in America now.
No, you're only fixated on bandwidth available, as afforded, for example, by a station-wagon hurtling down the highway. Here, let me help you with some citations to exactly what I am talking about: http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=stati...
