NAT really shouldn't be used for security, but in actually, it does make networks more secure than without it, so to say it's not security is wrong. It's not great security.
NAT is not a function of the firewall either.
This is debatable, but more than likely most would view NAT being a part of the firewall. Firewalls do inspect packets and either forward them on or drop them depending on the rules set up. Doing NAT involves that same thing, but while inspecting outgoing packets you need to change the source ip and port, and then add a rule to incoming packets using the same source ip/port and destination ip/port (but reversed) to allow it and do a reverse translation. As the two functions, firewall and NAT basically require 95% of the same work, NAT is usually part of a firewall package.
NAT is a function of IPv4, because we would have run out of addresses long ago.
This is incorrect. First of all, NAT is not a function of IPv4. It's not limited to IPv4, nor even limited to the IP protocol. It became more popular on IPv4 networks because of many reasons, one of which was because of address scarcity, but also because ISP's were only handing out 1 IP address per subscriber. It was mostly used for that reason long before we were worried about running out of IP addresses, but became more prominent as that became an issue.
A firewall whether stateful or not tracks connections and will deny erroneous ones.
So do NATs.
A firewall will inspect the packet to make sure it meets the necessary criteria.
You are obviously a free thinker shill. Go back to your free thinking and let us get back to the regularly scheduled bashing of everything related to corporate, government, or anything else a 13 year old boy doesn't fully understand yet.
Well if all your dependencies have a 1 to 1 relationship, you've overdesigned a simple task and probably isn't very large. On the other hand, if you have a large complex chain of interdependencies and claim that it doesn't lend itself well to parallel compilation, I suspect you don't know what you are doing.
Well except for maybe say Ruby or asp.net MVC if you actually have a lot of data fields to display, want to make them editable/insertable/deletable, or have multiple tables.
Not to pick a point, but since the NSA says they can't track communications between two Americans, and well, the Boston Marathon bombing was done by an American, it that your issue is that they don't also include those.
The tags that the article is referring to is really specifically keyword or content tags. Gmail uses them. Outlook uses them. Firefox uses them. All of those expose the tags directly to the end user. The "T" in TIFF actually stands for tagged, but they aren't typically exposed directly to the end user. Instead TIFF software generates a table for you that represents a key/value pair or collection of keys and values that you can view or edit. Same with MP3, BMP, DOC, XLS, M4V, MKV, and most likely a dozen other files people use every day.
As for metadata, well, just click "View source on this page", and look at the 4th line (and the 5th, and a half dozen others). You'll see this thing that looks like <meta..., and meta is an abbreviation of metadata. People use files and programs with meta data every single day. The last write/create/access time of your resume you stored on your computer? Yup, that's metadata. Ever create an index on a table in a database? Yes, that too is a specialized type of metadata. Metadata is everywhere.
"Tagging" and "keyword tagging" is one type of metadata. Keyword tags have been around forever, at least the past 2000 years or so, pre-dating computers. Table of Contents? Yup, a specialized form of keyword tags and metadata. Rolodexes, filing cabinets arranged by first letter or year of something? Yup, again, metadata. The ability to let anyone in the world use any tag/keyword isn't really new, but people have been starting to use it to organize stuff in computers more and more. You know those manilla folders with that area where you can write stuff so you can find it? Yup, that's an old school freeform keyword tag. Although, it's probably easier to force people to use predefined tags rather than freeform when you want to let anyone in the world help tag stuff so they don't create duplicates, misspellings, etc
I would assume so. If you ever visit say, http://games.slashdot.org/http://linux.slashdot.org/ or any of those words on the left hand side of the screen, then you are filtering your content based on tags. You just didn't know it. I assume firehose works the same way, but I haven't bothered to check. Journals do.
What are these supposed technical fields that don't use tagging or metadata?
So, you've never used images? Never used a camera phone? Never used gmail? Never used bookmarks in firefox? You're in a business and never used Outlook? Never listened to a MP3 file? Never used windows and clicked on the file explorer to add columns? Never written a web page, or XML? Never used a TIFF file? Where exactly is this mythological technical person and what do they do?
But perhaps, we should be talking about tax revenue, not spending since that is what was asked, and in the past 60 years, revenue has gone down in years: 1958,1959,1971,1983,2001,2002,2003,2008, and 2009.
Better than gross revenue, it would be best to compare gross revenue adjusted for inflation per capita, but I don't have those numbers, but perhaps someone else does. Even better would be gross revenue adjusted for inflation paid per member of each income group, but again, I don't have those numbers.
I live quite well, and I know what the conditions of things I've signed for. How do YOU live not knowing what you've actually agreed to. In my state (Illinois) , the contract for the sale of a house has to be given to you 24 hours in advance of you signing it, and yes, I read it. Well, technically, I last "purchased" a house 20+ years ago, but I just refinanced it a year ago or so.
If I'm agreeing to a 15-30 year deal, then an hour (maybe two) isn't that big of a deal spending to make sure that all the money I've investing in the purchase isn't going to go away because of some stupid clause. It's people like you that complain that OMG someone should have protected you from your own stupidity. As if there should have been some way to avoid bad situations, oh, but wait, there was.. READ WHAT YOU AGREE TO. Seriously, take some damn responsibility for your own actions. Most contracts aren't very difficult to read, but if you seriously have that big of a problem reading it, take it to a lawyer you trust. Then you can pay him a couple hundred dollars to read it and explain it to you.
I always do. I read absolutely everything that I sign, because there are too many unscrupulous people out there. You never know what bullshit is in those contracts, and I've even refused to sign some, and some they've changed or removed clauses
I found the exact opposite. I found diablo 3 to be the best only when you finally hit inferno. Granted, I played before they added the power levels, so it was constantly stuck on power level 4, and found the game to actually be fairly challenging. I finished inferno just before they added the power levels and I wouldn't change a thing, but there are a lot of really bad players in the game that simply don't know what they are doing, and I got tired of carrying them everywhere.
When they added the power levels (and alternate levels), I quickly got bored with it. Power level 10 was doable solo, but it just took too long to kill stuff, but I'm sure with the new gear that drops and the spawnable bosses it got a lot easier. The only whining I ever heard was either directly (or indirectly) by players who didn't know how to play, didn't want to learn, and it was just too hard. I can't count the number of times that someone would say... is impossible to complete, and not only would I take them through it, but I would bring them and 2 other worthless players with me, they would die in 10 seconds, and I'd have to complete it solo with mobs (and bosses) designed for 4 players.
China calling in its debt from the US would be like a fart in the wind. China for all the hoopla only holds about 8% of the national debt. Something the US could pay back with some minor cutbacks, assuming someone else didnt pick it up.
I will drive in the other lane (the left one when there are only two) and will go about 70 MPH. The speed limit is 65. People who want to go faster than 70 will need to go the fuck around.
I wasn't saying you may not drive in the left lane, just not moving over when someone wants to pass. However, thanks for the link. It shows clearly in the vast majority of states, it is illegal not to move over no matter the speed limit.
Notwithstanding has the same meaning as "disregarding...". It is basically saying no matter what the speed limit says, it is still illegal to not move over for faster traffic. Exactly what the anonymous coward was bragging about doing. I fully endorse increasing the fine for this offense to immediate revocation of license for a minimum of 1 year, 1 year in jail, $5,000 fine or any combination of the above. Perhaps we will have less slow assholes in the left lane.

Virtually every shop I've worked with, no matter how big a SAN they get, if one doesn't watch out, it will get full overnight.
I fixed that long ago. I buy 10x what they expect to ever need, and then connect everyone to it over a shared 10Kbps link.

Of course the last time the ITC was overruled was in 1987, siding WITH SAMSUNG. Lol.

Imperial unit have no business in science, and I live in the US.
Also, tax revenue is the lowest it's been since 1941, so complaints about taxes being unusually high are also wrong.
Not at the federal level. Government spending rarely goes down. In the past 60 years it's gone now in the following years:
1954, 1955, 1965, 2010 and 2012. Every other year it's gone up. http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/taxfacts/displayafact.cfm?Docid=200
But perhaps, we should be talking about tax revenue, not spending since that is what was asked, and in the past 60 years, revenue has gone down in years: 1958,1959,1971,1983,2001,2002,2003,2008, and 2009.

We also are on the edge of fast food joints that no longer need humans in the cooking areas.
Good, maybe one day we will consider pre-licked taco shells, or hamburgers with a splash of teenage junk a specialty item.

You are right. No one will guess the login is admin and the password is password. Perfectly safe.
