I've traveled internationally multiple and the customs lines were never more than a few minutes coming back. Did you have a different experience?
My main issue with Customs is when they ask you what you did while out of the country. None of their business, that's what, but I usually answer (truthfully, of course, as lying would be illegal) to avoid hassle. At some point when no one's picking me up I might just assert my 5th Amendment right not to answer and let them hold me until they have to let me go (which is what
Either you're wrong, or you're aware of a 0-day exploit against Loop-Amnesia, Tresor, TrueCrypt, dm-crypt, loop-AES, BitLocker, and FileVault. If you're aware of such a serious security hole, please report it. Kthxbye.
This was not a properly secured iPhone. It used a 4-digit PIN. If you're math-challenged, that's on average 4500 attempts to break it. The phone used some DRMesque hardware obfuscation alchemy to try to make that 4-digit PIN secure. DRMesque alchemy doesn't typically work. Proper encryption does typically work. It's well known among people with brains that a 4-character numeric-only passcode is not sufficient for a disk encryption password.
It is extremely likely that a properly secured Apple or Android phone would be impenetrable to any actor, especially now that we have additional reason to believe Apple and others are not currently building a backdoor into their products. Such a phone would also be awkward to use, since you'd need to enter a 15+-character alphanumeric password to unlock it. But if you're a terrorist that's probably worth it.
Silly response: If you are driving in such a way that you assume you will ultimately receive years of probation, that is quite disturbing.
Serious response: In the US states I am aware of, graduated licenses are only for those under 18. Your mileage (ha ha mileage) with Euro-nannies may vary.
Thanks for the correction; I've copy/pasted the corrected version into my shell script notebook and will totally be using that command the next time I need to entirely destroy the ability of one of my computers to communicate over a network.
But really you should post a version using nftables, since that's the future of Linux firewalling, after all. And it might also be worth mentioning that another option is to physically disconnect the Ethernet cord or wireless card from the machine in question. That requires physical access, of course, but you'll also need that if you ever intend to use the computer again after running that command.;)
You're absolutely right. Everything that ever happens to anyone is his own fault.
We should all go no more than 1mph ever because a stork carrying a baby might drop it into the path of our cars and we have to be able to avoid it in time. If you hit the stork-baby when it suddenly appears in front of you, you were driving too fast for conditions.
I've never -- ever -- run into a site that requires I use Facebook rather than create a separate login. I expect the only sites that require Facebook sign in, rather than simply allow are mostly limited to stupid Facebook games, like Avian Dysfunctional Conflict Resolution Disorder, etc.
I know I lost a job interview because I didn't have a Twitter account, and the interview called me a "fossil" because of that.
You were probably lucky not to get that job. A company dysfunctional enough to blacklist candidates without Twitter accounts -- and insult said candidates to their faces while doing it -- is not likely a company that would be fun to work for.
I have a Facebook account, which is getting used gradually less often due to Facebook's retreat from XMPP, though purple-facebook might bring the usage back up some. I've never had a Twitter account and still don't really understand the appeal.
Of course it's not. That's an absolutely retarded thing to say.
Standard of living doesn't include wondering every day if the government is going to take all your possessions on some pretext. Standard of living doesn't include not being able to access random websites because the government doesn't like what they say. Standard of living doesn't include imprisoned journalists, and the chilling effect that has on reporting.
Standard of living doesn't include how much or how little security you have in the knowledge that the police can't bust into your house without at least convincing a judge they have a good reason. And finally, standard of living -- at least as measured as GDP per capita or net income per capita -- doesn't take into account the fact that getting more money, like most all things, has a decreasing marginal return in its effect on one's happiness.
Even in the UK, they must prove that there is a key and that you at one point had access to it in the past year. If they prove you had access to the key in the past year, then the burden shifts to you to prove that you no longer have access to the key.
It's a bad law, but don't spread disinformation about it. And the US situation is much, much better.
Care to share some links? The only thing I'm aware of that you may be referring to is that the Windows implementation of TrueCrypt has a bug where it doesn't properly exclude the hidden filesystem from search indexing or somesuch. The concept is sound. And if you're using hidden volumes, you really should be using live CDs to inspect the hidden volumes anyway.
That's not really true. Initial consultations are typically a few hundred dollars, not in the thousands. Some lawyers provide initial consultations for free as a gimmick.
You're talking out of your posterior, anonymous dumbass.
There's no such thing as a "senior" professor. There are assistant professors, associate professors, and full professors. Both associate professors and full professors have tenure and can't be removed except for very serious cause. Assistant professors don't have tenure and can be removed for budget reasons, poor performance, etc.
There's a stupid ritual for going from assistant to associate professor. There's typically a review after 6 years to decide if you're "worthy" and a vote on whether to keep you. If they don't keep you, you get a year to wind down your research and find another job at another school. If they do keep you, you get tenure and move to "associate" level.
Moving from "associate" to "full" is much less important than getting tenure and effectively just means a small to moderate bump in pay and a cooler title. It doesn't give you an extra vote in faculty committees, more privileges on how to run your classes, or anything like that. If this guy's an associate professor, he's a professor with tenure. Waiting until he's a full professor to have this fight would do exactly nothing to improve his chances of winning.
Finally, if this is really about academic freedom, theoretically he should be able to have this fight as an assistant professor. Everybody in the academic community, including students, is supposed to have academic freedom. How that works in practice -- well, that's why we have tenure for the people with the most to lose by asserting their academic freedom.
They're moving in that direction. Specifically, catalyst will be moved to a userspace program running above the kernel, while the OSS radeon driver will be an alternative userspace program running above the kernel.
The name of the unified kernel driver is "amdgpu".
I'm not going to argue over the merits of forcing colleges to hold kangaroo courts to prosecute alleged rapists. Whether it is a good idea or not (it's not), the point is that it is not a politically neutral thing to advocate for. This is a liberal cause. Advocates are going to frame the issue as combating discrimination against women and leveling the playing field for a disadvantaged group (women). That is how the left talks and thinks, not how the right talks and thinks.
They advocate (ab)using Title IX to force colleges into a law enforcement role by disciplining those accused of rape. This is a circumvention of due process: courts should deal with criminal complaints, not schools. But, if you make the school do it, you can get around pesky things like rules of evidence, beyond reasonable doubt proof standards, and innocent until proven guilty.

Looks like you're right. Gold star.
No, 4500. 4-digit PINs are those numbers between 1000 and 9999, inclusive. 9999-1000=8999. 8999/2 = 4499.5, rounded up to 4500.

Age of consent is sometimes 16 in the US. That's probably more relevant to situations where things are put in your body.

Dude, you see the "Funny" by his mod? That means the moderators knew he wasn't being serious. It was a joke.
You just won the Internet for today. Congratulations.
You had me going until drop bears. Good show.

Not to mention doctoring a RAW would require inanimate knowledge of the imaging sensor.
Well that settles it. I like my knowledge to be lustful and spry. Inanimate knowledge just isn't the same.
Assertions without evidence are not credible. If you can't or won't support your claim, why are you making it?
Even in the UK, they must prove that there is a key and that you at one point had access to it in the past year. If they prove you had access to the key in the past year, then the burden shifts to you to prove that you no longer have access to the key.
