Lock boot images, and the real security problems for persisting on a host and hiding activity will only move to the next rung on this ladder.
Except with Windows, at least, the next rungs on this ladder are already secureâ"signed bootloader boots signed kernel runs signed drivers. Regardless of how tight your tinfoil hat is (or how tight it should be!), this is the last step in defeating TDSS-alikes.
Steam lets you play games offline. I played a lot of Torchlight on my netbook which, ironically, rarely had internet access. When I got home, it'd sync my save game with the Steam Cloud (el-oh-el), and I could pick up where I left off on my desktop.
That's why I have 132 Steam games, but will never buy another Blizzard product again.
Cartoon depictions of child sexual activity (commonly found in manga)
Bullshit. Your local Barnes & Noble is filled with manga volumes completely bereft of child porn.
It'd be just as (in)accurate to say, "Graphic depictions of sexual abuse (commonly found in Spanish literature)" or "Vivid roleplaying of homosexual violence (commonly found in sports)."
All of these things shit up the board (even more than my knee-jerk someone-on-the-internet-is-wrong! posting history), and nuking entire threads of bullshit takes modpoints I'd rather spend on up-modding.
Since this is also off-topic, I'm not going to reply further. Mods should down-vote my post.
It's not "sad and pathetic." Replacing spinning rust with an SSD is almost better than buying an entire new computer.
Besides, a 120GB drive can easily hold ~55 hours of high-bitrate music. It's like calling someone's new sports car "sad and pathetic" because they can no longer tow all of their boats at the same time.
If you watch the moderation for any given topic, it always skews a certain way and punishes anyone who speaks out against the conventional wisdom. Because a limited pool of users controls the filtering of opinions, there is in fact an overall viewpoint that is enforced rather than a diversity of ideas.
It stands to reason that any increase in food production will lead to an increase in the total human population, which directly recreates the problem in a worse way for the next generation
I believe it was Gandhi who said, "Be the change you want to see in the world." So go kill yourself.
When I installed Chrome it did not pop up a window and offer me a choice of which search engine to use.
You're either lying or blind, Mr. AC. I installed Chrome just now, and I was greeted with a search engine pop-up. If you miss that, you'll see it every time you right click on the URL bar.
The USGS fact sheet shows 30 GWe potential. The 550 GWe figure is a guesstimate assuming "enhanced geothermal systems" technology happens. Although there are two small plants in France and Germany, the Los Alamos national laboratory shut down theirs after failing to produce net power. To my knowledge, there are no other sites.
You may as well say, "We have 95,000 GWe potential assuming fusion."
You're kidding, right? Wikipedia says we generated 1100 gigawatts of electricity in 2010. If estimates are correct, we'll have 15 gigawatts of geothermal by 2025. That's roughly 1% of current production, with potential for "over twenty percent of our national energy needs."
I know Wikipedia isn't the epitome of reliability, but those numbers are a far cry from "100% of baseline for the foreseeable future." Do you have any citation at all for that claim?
So, they make a whole bunch of them and bury them in the grass on the quad where everyone assembles in an evacuation.
I remember, back in high school, the district deciding on a new set of emergency procedures, to be rolled out post haste. For our safety and edification, a bored teacher was reading them to us, along with every other class first hour.
After a few pages, he got to "bomb threat," stopped, and said, "Well, that's stupid. If I were going to plant a bomb, it'd be where everyone evacuates." Not exactly villain-from-Speed levels of evil, but still kind of shocking to hear it coming from a teacher.
So, I think you, I, and at least one other person are of like minds--if anyone calls in a bomb threat, the last thing I'm doing is packing in close with everyone else. The horror, though, if anyone ever calls in a tornado threat.
How do you know it's zero? You have no way of knowing how many terrorists gave up on their plots because of the higher level of security at the airports.

Verily, that's where we're headed.
I know this is lost on some of you here, but there's a continuum between "world's largest inmate population" and "anarchy."
I'll leave guessing which end we're at as an exercise for the reader.
Really? Unemployment seems to have an inflection point every election. Source: BLS.

For bitching about moderation, posting a bunch of off-topic bullshit, making sock-puppet accounts, and evading post-limits.

You're absolutely right. That's what I get for doing dimensional analysis in calc.exe.
You're kidding, right? By my reckoning, that's 25 years of high bitrate MP3s.
Now, ripping to FLAC I can understand... But, if you don't have a hojillion dollar speaker system, I can also understand not ripping to FLAC.

Funny, elections work the same way.
So... Redundant everything isn't enough, but you call him out for extravagances like Ethernet?
What a tool.

The issue is its practically root as its an executable in the users home folders that is not protected by UAC.
What does this even mean.

Are you implying electing GWB was the least wrong decision?
Geothermal is possible now. EGS is still highly theoretical.

Congratulations on finding your "shift" key.
Digital currency just means the Central bank can wipe-out our savings more efficiently (by devaluing the dollar).
I hate to break it to you, but "digital" has jack shit to do with whether or not a central bank can devalue the currency.
Hint: It can.
So what is the cause of the lower-than-expected rate of female programmers, and what can we do to fix it?
Needs "fixing" why? I see no evidence that women who want to become programmers are denied the opportunity.
Why is it that nobody gives a shit about the lack of male teachers?

Get a load of this guy.
