It is going to be tied up in the courts for years. Even if it passes every legal challenge, it doesn't change much really. Officers or the courts will check with the government databases before people are penalised, so forgetting one's papers when they run to the 7-11 won't affect much.
Depending on location (it is not legal everywhere), citizens need to produce I.D. when asked by an officer.
As for individuals being harassed by the cops, the cops can do that currently.
Also, AZ (and the rest of the US) have people from all over. People who try to blend in will be fine and will blend in. Those that try to stand out will get harassed, just like always.
So how does this relate to poorly written scripts that peg out one of my cpus?
Will both of my cpus be pegged out or will I be able to kill just the one tab with the bad script in it?
ZFS is intended to prevent data corruption of *any* kind. Its use of double and shortly (now?) triple parity is just the start of it. One can also store up to 3 independent copies of the same data transparently. (One a mirrored array with two drives, this means 6 copies of the same file.)
Having one system that provides the same interface and same capabilities across many sets of hardware is very handy.
In action, ZFS is something to behold.
Then package $app as a deb and list $bar as a dependency. Then removing $foo, or upgrading it, $bar stays in place. Plus one could install $app repeatedly and easily.
I know it is intimidating, but it honestly is not that hard.
Why do groups releasing open-source operating system projects seem to not like to offer torrents of their wares?
OpenBSD and Ubuntu do not seem to offer them either.
I may not be able to host a mirror or contribute much money, but I can leave a torrent running for weeks.
Is there anything that can be done for him?
As a SysAd and citizen I find this case to be disturbing. I don't know if visiting him in jail would be helpful.
Do they even let one have cookies in there? Cookies may not help him or his case, but cookies can taste good.
While you are likely correct, one should question if there is any reason for the wealthy to want the U.S. to do well in the future.
If one could make millions in the U.S. by getting the nation into debt, then retire to another country that is benefiting from the debt, they win.
It is only the poor, who can not leave, that are dependent on the nation in which they live to be successful.
Isn't it illegal to leak information like this anyway? Why add new laws, lets just enforce the ones we have. Find out who leaked it and charge them. Once a few high level bureaucrats go to prison, they will stop letting their kids use their work computer (not that it was necessarily the kids that did it).
It takes time to calm the jerks and get some respect.
Being an ass may help you feel better in the short term, but you will never be able to get help when you need it.
Keep an eye on the long game, and update the resume as often as possible.
Any time an important ranking system is devised, those being judged will figure out how to cheat the system. Given how important these rankings are perceived to be, this should be no surprise to anyone. I am more surprised this is a surprise.
The phone numbers/emails for points of contact in other departments/companies. You likely don't run *everything* and the new person needs to know who to contact when the interaction between inside and outside fails.
I feel so conflicted.
It is good they got enough information to tell law enforcement who the victims are, but I feel sad they did not do more to stop the botnet.
However, there would be lawsuits if they had done more. Also, the bot masters now know exactly who was messing with their system (even their email addresses and their technique).
Net effect, a botnet will go down slowly and some researches will get a *lot* of spam.
How can we expect to clean up the botnets if the hosts are never contacted.
I may think I am clean, but if I unknowingly lack the skills to know better, I would never know better, and would never do better.
The big papers detailing botnets never provide enough details to know if *I* screwed up the internet.

In most sane and civilized contexts, "Cowboy" is not a compliment.
See also "loose cannon".
In much the same way that "Republican" is a damning swear word. *Some* people like Cowboys.

But one would make a torrent for the 200 MB iso.
They have lots of mirrors and they likely work well, but with a torrent I could help pass it around.
What is with projects not offering the option?

Everything being dependent on application and such, for my applications running Debian stable only works just fine.

I second that.
The more you document, and the more places you put that documentation, the better.

that or turn it off.
Seems like arresting people for using it is the long way around.
I have to agree with jh. The Nvidia Quadro cards work great under Linux for stereo that uses shutter glasses and emitters.
I hope you are right, but you piqued my interest just enough that I googled it. It looks like this technique is also used to spread some fake AV software that further infects the machine. http://www.mac-net.com/1553480.page http://www.mac-net.com/1554482.page http://www.avertlabs.com/research/blog/index.php/2008/06/18/scary-screensavers-take-two/
