The part that I find most interesting as a former enterprise systems administrator from the 90's is that the employer owns the device but does not have a pass code for it. Is this the normal IT policy for these kinds of…
I always wondered if the problem with the shaped charge was that the battery served to keep it from somehow being mechanically detonated rather than the battery being used to provide power for detonation. Seemed like…
As a small business owner, my main concern is that there are no assurances that my competitors large and small will not be able to see my contracts/suppliers/budgets/sales/processes at some point due to this ambiguous…
I received the request to sign this recently and while I think it is good, I was concerned about its effect on the ability to pursue research into creating autonomous weapons that seek and destroy autonomous weapons. I…
Most private investigators must be spending their Sunday night trying to get everything they can on this. They can and will make money on this data. EDIT: Spelling
Wow! Derek has been entertaining me online for nearly thirty years now and instead of that realization making me feel old, it actually makes me feel kind of young. The parts without the words "I" or "me" sprinkled all…
I had hoped for a happier ending to the 0xAA55 poem. Now I will wait for correspondence from young explorers who find me via my old 'fix a raw drive' blog post. I expect a few.
I have tried for two years to monetize my programming blog without making $100 in that entire time while I make a nice living from ads on my other sites. I save RAW hard drives via a post I wrote 2 years ago. It's not…
Or perhaps simply for a challenge.
If they gave over a third ownership to EFF things would become interesting. Don't see it happening though.
I thought it might follow backwards in space as well as time but when the book The Physics of Time Reversal by Robert G. Sachs came out in 1987 it made me skeptical of that possibility. I haven't followed the theory of…
Excellent response. There should probably be an open discussion on the forum engaging members and other moderators where the banned user can see it. Let them discuss the ban as well as the subsequent harassment and…
Didn't the RSS James Cook find a bunch of diamonds where the mantle is exposed beneath the Atlantic back in 2007? I remember following this as an amateur geologist but never heard anything more after the diary entry…
We had a site get hit hard by Panda 4.0 but we are not surprised. About a 35% drop overnight May 20th. An observation that we have made over the years is that significant changes to Google's algorithms always seem to…
Yes, that is the problem. However, I know that at least one of them was penalized for using TextLinkAds and stopped advertising with us because they decided to adopt a scorched earth policy in an attempt to have manual…
We've noticed a decrease in tier 1 advertisers over the last 18 months. We get a million+ uniques per month and are very picky about the ads we run. The decrease in tier 1 has been small businesses who have become…
Are these types of purchases primarily defensive in order to prevent new social networks from appearing that are simpler, more private or somehow more appealing? I always thought it was inevitable that a solution will…
I doubt it. About . com has been using a technique like this to put adsense ads on external links for years.
I've often wondered if the feedback provided by Kinect could be used to induce trance states. As an amateur magician I spent some time studying stage hypnotism and NLP. It seems that a lot of the cues used for that…
I would be concerned about how dd handles a bad sector that has not been reallocated by SMART. Many drives have 1 or 2 of these. Clonezilla is a good option because it also includes GNU ddrescue (so does PartedMagic)…
About ten years ago I set out to do this using a peg memory system http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mnemonic_peg_system that I customized to card suits and numbers. The best I could do was 4:25 and it was far more…
The first thing I thought of was a course that I took decades ago that discussed using printers for covert channels to get data out of secure networks. I wonder if any of those are honeypots. It may be interesting to…
Any discussion of Myers-Briggs always makes me remember this quote attributed to Kurt von Hammerstein-Equord. "I divide my officers into four groups. There are clever, diligent, stupid, and lazy officers. Usually two…
Short on important details. Specifically, what was the backup procedure and frequency? Was the backup routine affected for some time prior to the encryption and made to look like it was working but wasn't or was the…
I used it so much, I took an Ubuntu VM in VirtualBox, added LAMP and installed it so it can be used for larger sets. https://launchpad.net/css-sprite-generator Set the VM's network to a bridged adapter and can easily…
