Exactly, the idea should be that you should assume that every piece of data that you are receiving is likely malicious, so as such you should sanitize every variable, never execute *anything* sent to you, mandate bidirectional encryption in which you verify certificates at both sides, and kill the session if a single out-of-order packet is received.
As well, block *every* port except the one that you intend to use within your application, and monitor all traffic to detect anyone *attempting* to connect over any other port, and immediately greylist their IP Address for an hour. If they repeatedly do it, than blacklist them permanently.
As well, requesting a non-existent resource should be treated just as trying to SSH in to your box as root!
Anyone who legitimately runs into your security protections would need to call to get their account reinstated.
You should also ensure that any functions that will only be *reading* data do not have privileges to *write* data under any circumstances.
Only writing functions should be capable of writing to your data stores / databases.
Any malformed entries stored within your database should be immediately flagged as "bad data" and *not* presented back to the user. The record should simply be gone. Any one user who has more than 3 pieces of "bad data" associated with their account should be immediately blocked pending review.
The best course of action with regards to designing any hardened applications is to assume that any data coming from your own, non-internet accessible servers is suspect and then you will do well in limiting risk.
No, it uses 5% of the drive as "reserved" for system-level processes, such as log files, root, temp and other misc data. That amount can be reduced or even disabled completely if the need arises.
Other file systems are typically designed with the "that's up to the user" mentality.
No judgement, but a denial of a preliminary injunction that would presumably prevent Samsung from "further irreparably damaging Apple's Brand, image, copyright and patents".
Apple's contention within the case is that Samsung is misappropriating Apple's intellectual property, namely patents related to the design of the iPhone devices, user interface designs, icons, images, and methods of operation.
Samsung's contention is that "there are only so many ways to build a smartphone", and that the elements that Apple is complaining about are either "too broad" or are obvious, and thereby not enforceable.
The judge in this particular case has decided that Apple had not presented sufficient evidence in pre-trial proceedings that would show that Apple would be irreparably damaged through Samsung continuing to sell the products in question within the United States.
Unvested shares are shares which are essentially promised shares. If the terms of issuance are obeyed (e.g.: remain with the company for 1 year, you get 25% of the shares, 2 years, 50%... etc.) than the shares become "vested shares", and are entirely yours.
"Normal stock" comes down to the classification of the stock. Typically, there are multiple pools of shares. Common Stock, Preferred Stock, etc. This is what allows for businesses to massively dilute one class without impacting another.
The use of the phrase "no credible information" is going to drive the conspiracy theorists crazy for decades, 'cause aliens are incredible man! We want to see the incredible information!
ESXi / vSphere Hypervisor provides identical functionality (with the exception of vCenter for Centrally managing multiple vSphere servers) freely.
What you get when you buy vSphere is VMware's support, including their involvement to write additional modules to run in conjunction with some obscure aspect of your deployment (read: the slight issues experienced within the ESX when using an LSI iSCSI HBA in conjunction with a NetApp Filer that do not exist within an QLogic iSCSI HBA).
Support is worth something, especially in Production environments. The problem here is that VMware decided that they could wring more money from their customers within ESX 5, and it has proven to be more than the market will bear.
Could be that they simply didn't take adequate protections against hardware failure.
The whole situation seems very much like "our SAN went down as we didn't replace a couple failed disks, and now our entire array is offline and we need to restore from tape".
One time, one of our data centers had it's halon system go off and the significant change in pressure killed whole NetApp Drive Trays. Even though there were redundant heads and 4 spares per tray, duplicated to tape nightly and off-sited, it still took days to get back up and running, including the time to get replacement hardware, recall tapes and get tapes restored.
Bottom line is that sometimes, it is difficult to justify two concurrent mirrored data centers.
But general welfare could also be defined as simply enabling those who currently are without health insurance, and are thereby unable to afford to go to see a doctor to seek medical care in non-life-threatening situations.
Whether another group could perform the same benefit for less cost, or at a higher quality does not play into the discussion. The fact of the matter is that a better, more cost effective solution that applies to all citizens of the United States has not yet materialized.
For many people with pre-existing conditions, the situation quite simply is that either an entity steps in to mandate that everyone be able to receive medical coverage, or they continue to remain without coverage, or with insurance that explicitly denies coverage.
My understanding is that the preamble, the 52 words that serve as a preparatory statement to the US Constitution serves to establish a statement of the general intent of what the US Constitution was to serve as for the United States.
The intent of an action is to define its reason or its purpose. Intent refers only to the state of mind with which the act is done or omitted. It differs from motive, which is what prompts a person to act or to fail to act.
While I completely agree that if the founders of this country could see what their creation has turned into, they would be filled with pride in it's people and shame in it's administrators, I feel that a mandate that would enable this country's citizens to receive access to health coverage without showing that they have developed a life threatening condition is a morally right decision. Hopefully there will be more in the near future that can better help the citizens of this country.
However, the receipt of health care in many cases in dependent on health insurance.
If a patient does not have health insurance, they are entitled solely to a minimum level of health care in emergency situations to provide "stabilizing care".
And legally, the definition of an "Emergency" with regards to the medical system is:
(A) a medical condition manifesting itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that the absence of immediate medical attention could reasonably be expected to result in:
placing the health of the individual (or, with respect to a pregnant woman, the health of the woman or her unborn child) in serious jeopardy
serious impairment to bodily functions, or
serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part; or
(B) with respect to a pregnant woman who is having contractions:
that there is inadequate time to make a safe transfer to another hospital before delivery, or
that transfer may pose a threat to the health or safety of the woman or the unborn child.
The distinction here is that health care is pretty vital to "promote the general Welfare" (US Constition - Preamble)
welfare |welfe()r| (noun)
the health, happiness, and fortunes of a person or group
To that end, it seems pretty obvious that the founders of the United States cared enough about the health of it's citizens.
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Market Cap seems just as arbitrary a figure as anything.
What surprises me is that a fund like the DJI which prides itself on being a "stable" fund would elect to not include someone because the share price is "too high". It is a fund... it's not like investors get a 1:1 share purchase of any company within the DJI. If they are afraid of "what if it goes down", than only buy a smaller percentage of Apple and more in Company-XYZ to help to mitigate risk.
It is surprising how a company that used to be regarded as the highest quality whatever-it-was-trying-to-sell can now have the level of respect usually afforded used car salesmen.
I remember the same arguments about calculators, and how they were going to dramatically cause a significant increase in every student's test scores by simply giving them the right answers, and thereby prevent them from gaining the true understanding that they would need to succeed in the world.
The end result was that rather than having people solve very simplistic problems that they could actually pull off in a 4x4-inch section of paper, students were to solve far more complex problems that actually test their understanding of what they are attempting to do instead of their grasp over carrying a 1.
Bottom line is that as long as we have people who say "I'm computer illiterate" and then laugh, then there is still work to be done to enable people to be successful in the world.
HP was brought up because apparently they were the #2 tablet manufacturer, didn't know it, and killed off their product line because their competitors were playing games with "shipping vs. selling" numbers, and not accounting for returns.
Assuming of course that Apple doesn't go in and provide them with the absolute best legal defense money can buy...
Seems more likely that they will simply discredit the guy who is making the claim that one of Apple's representatives were impersonating a police officer.
Plus, you gotta think about it from the simple perspective that they have iPhones, so it's not like their exact physical location isn't logged at all times to show *exactly* where their employees were at the time of this alleged act.
Thinking it over, I would have to say that based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics report of Non-Fatal On-The-Job Incidents that a half Black, half Latino homosexual would have a pretty high likelihood for being involved in an incident requiring report. Each one of those categories have statistically high risk factors on their own...
If said person also happened to be employed at a Nuclear Power Generation Facility, (National Institutes of Health study of Workplace Cleanliness for 2008) that there are an increased number of insects, rats and other vermin and thereby increase said person's chances of being bitten by said radioactive insect.
Ta-da, all the sudden you have a super-minority!
In all seriousness though, what's more minority than a handful of people with abilities unseen by most who are looking to feel empowered so they do whatever they want against the rules of society that they live in?
The bottom line is that we saw from the Apollo missions and tests conducted on the few Moon rocks that were brought back that the Moon has been tidally locked in it's current orientation for nearly 3.4 billion years (or at least that is what NASA was claiming back in 2005, they may have changed their estimates since).
This is assuming that the accretion process and the cooling process to create the Moon did not occur naturally in a tidally locked configuration, which computer models have shown that if an object roughly the size of Mars had collided with the Earth while it was still molten nearly 4.6 billion years ago that the Moon would form in a tidally locked configuration after it accretes.
Considering that current models show that the Moon formed 4.5 billion years ago, the current theory is that for the majority of it's life, the sides that do not directly face the Earth (the edges and the far side as viewed from Earth) are statistically more likely to have been hit than the side facing us, as our gravitational pull would serve to deflect many of those asteroids towards us instead of the near side of the Moon.
The bottom line is that a 750 mile object of 4% the mass of the Moon, colliding at the far side of the Moon (as suggested in this article) would have had a very noticeable effect on the Moon's orbital trajectory around the Earth, providing an eccentric elliptical orbit, make it non-tidally locked, and most importantly would be sending the Moon on a spiral towards us, rather than away from us as we are currently seeing.
I am a Clearwire Customer.
In my area, I can not get Cable or DSL. I am in a city with 180,000 people living in it, so it isn't a small place by any stretch of the imagination.
I got in bed with Clearwire after they were advertising uncapped, unthrottled, unlimited speeds faster than DSL. I signed up for a 2 year contract with them, that I can not physically leave without paying $500 to do so.
When I was getting less than stellar speeds (28Kbps Down / 5Mbps Up), I called to complain and was informed that I was in their top 5% of users on my connected tower, and that as such I am being "managed", and was told how this is significantly different than being "throttled".
When I asked how much I had used to get up to their top 5%, I found out that I was sitting at 38MB downloaded for the month. After repeated calls to attempt to figure out how this made sense that web browsing for a day using my same dial-up habits put me in their top 5%, I found out from one of their senior technicians that I was one of two people who actually use service off of my tower.
They told me that the only way to get unmanaged would be to move to an area with more customers, or convince more of my neighbors to come on board as it would shift that top 5% figure to one of them instead.
The bottom line is that at this point, it will cost me more to cancel with them on day two than it will for me to wait out my contract ($19.95 per month * 24 months = 478.80).
In the mean time, I use my iPhone as my primary method of internet connectivity to browse the web faster than I do with my Dial-up account when I really need to do something in a hurry for work.
When there is no visibility as to what those invisible limits are, than what are you going to do? If you are legitimately within the top 5% of users when using next to nothing after all...
Well, you could always argue that being without your credit card for a week while waiting on your bank to issue another one is "damaging" to one's quality of life.
If they need to take time out of their day to go to the bank to get cash from a human, the additional time spent conducting cash transactions versus the use of cards, the time to get your accounts updated to use the new Card Number to prevent your power from being shut off, and so on, then "damages" can actually be shown.
Not much different from the random times when your wallet is stolen.
