I was wondering if anyone can answer a simple(?) question:
Can data be recovered from an SSD after it has been overwritten once?
i.e If I'm disposing of an SSD with sensitive data on it do I have to run secure erasing software to make multiple/random writes to every sector?
I know many security guys (mostly on FreeBSD servers) who don't even bother with a firewall. You shouldn't have insecure services running in the first place.
Of course it's a whole other world when it comes to protecting a LAN where you can't effectively control the services running locally.
The WAVs are certainly worth more than MP3s and the USB drive adds to the value but it doesn't mean that those "doing mixes and modding" can do what they want with it, legally.
I'm sorry I don't have +1 insightful to give you but I 100% agree, and I'm a developer!
As a (desperate/skint) freelancer I often take on work with people (designers/client facers) who either come from a print/art background or are good at 'using the tools' but have no appreciation of what is involved with making a usable/scalable/accessible web page.
Personally, I like to think I could make an intuitive interface for a CMS but picking complimentary colours and creating a 'pleasing' layout is way beyond my abilities, let alone designing logos etc.
I have one colleague (out of many) who I enjoy working with. The build process is always quick, there are rarely any come backs from the client and, primarily, I can see that his designs are web designs, not just pretty looking layouts i.e no fixed width/height, no unnecessary use of images, pixel perfect only where it should be (no aliased borders etc).
I haven't heard about Cinea protection being cracked yet.
I don't know about the technical details or if it really counts because it is only used by the studios on the screeners they send to association members.
It requires a special DVD player to play the DVDs and those DVD players aren't easily available.
Incidentally, I heard that they have had problems with it, apparently most of the screeners they sent out of Munich in 2005 wouldn't play which may have had an effect on the lack of Oscars the film won (although it still got 5 nominations in 2006).
Of course, if you could get hold of the disc and the hardware you could easily make a nice TS.
I think the parent meant that you shouldn't (in theory) need ANY firewall, hardware OR software.
If you can trust that all the services running on your box are secure (i.e you're not listening on any ports with insecure services) then you don't have an open wound and don't need a plaster.
Assuming that the album in question is Year Zero, they have already released it for free on their own site @ 256kbps (in an.flv container) for the princely sum of... your/an email address.
Didn't I hear somewhere that Mars has very high speed winds?
If that is the case then, despite the thin atmosphere, paragliding might be possible. It looks like there might be some nice terrain for soaring. Obviously you'd need some pretty solid gear to withstand all the sand (ferrous dust) flying about, not to mention a space suit.
This must be an American thing, no such problems in Europe.
We pay for unlimited 2Mbit/512Kbit ADSL which is running at 90% up and down for about 20hrs/day, 7 days a week (the down time is when I take my laptop over a mates house to watch movies) and recently I've noticed my up speed reaching 128KBytes! Without asking or paying for it!!
This has been going on for two years with no complaints.
I'm in an area of London where a lot of young families and professionals live, not in an area full of coffin dodgers so I'm not exactly the only person on our switch.
The funniest bit is that I'm with AOL!!!
(I didn't choose them by the way, my flat mate did, but so far I don't see any reason to change... other than them trying to hijack my smtp which was solved by setting up the smtp server to listen on another port)
Could somebody please explain to me why the whole shape-changing robot thing is useful?
A modular robot that can easily disassemble itself and share parts with other robots would be pretty handy on the moon don't you think? If the robot could fulfil a useful roll with one or more modules inactive/jettisoned it would be much more useful than one which is useless as soon as it gets a flat tyre. Once a robot has too many broken modules to play an active roll in exploration its working modules could be scavenged by other robots.

Thought this might interest those who didn't RTFA (or didn't have time to trawl through the website looking for it):

...for web servers or any DMZ server anyway.

With 1.5Ghz/512MB/80GB this PC should suit most low end users.
One thing you COULDN'T do with this PC is buy anything from Walmarts own website
Point taken but I was referring to the final.
...and they beat us to open standards!!!

Mimic IE user agent.
Even the torrent is 2 months old!

How the hell are you supposed to see what you are eating if the main source of light comes from beneath your plate?
All UK channels except ITV are also available as an XML/RSS feed.
So, how big a monitor do I need to have one of these images as my wallpaper?
I would agree that the review is somewhat off the mark, claiming that this is a new field of research. I've just finished reading Out of control - The New Biology of Machines, Social Systems, and the Economic World by Kevin Kelly which covers artificial evolution in some depth (up to 1994 when the book was written).
If you're a layman who wants to find out more about this fascinating field then it's well worth a read (for free, online).
That sounds very suspicious, it must be a cover up!!!
</sarcasm>

And for that we have Real Alternative (If you have VLC it is unnecessary to install the included 'Media Player Classic' of course)

If we're going to replace our PCs with Dominoes would we replace our Macs with Pizza Expresses?
(Sorry, not very funny but nobody else had said it)
