For someone who thinks he knows everything, you burned yourself a bit there :-) Man ps. Man top. And REALLY, man chkrootkit.

Speaking of which, I would say it's false positive rate is no worse than Windows AV but it sure consumes a lot less system resources. It's pretty good at finding subtle signs of a problem where the rootkit hides itself imperfectly. It can also be run from a rescue disk so a rootkit on disk can't hide itself.

Only a fool wouldn't at least look at the evidence. All those wacky doctors claiming you can't drink antifreeze instead of wearing a coat. PFFFFFT! It says anti-freeze right on the bottle!

I don't know what regulations may apply when it leaves the factory, but some combination of years of wear, a sticky cable, and larger than factory tires put on and that easily goes out the window.

There's also the human factor. For safety, we'd rather people creep a few MPH over than have them laser focused on the speedometer and not the road ahead.

CRUNCH! Hrmm, that truck seems to have safely run over my trunk.

I have seen speed traps like that. They were like that for years. They have slowly gone away as the area has become less rural. I wouldn't be shocked to see them still in existence further out though. It's very real. Good luck getting THE judge (aka the police chief's brother in law) to invalidate the ticket in towns like that.

In more urban areas they prefer to use red light cams and dangerously short yellows to force people to break the law for safety reasons. Generally, the traffic engineering 'rules' are legally just guidelines or recommendations.

Your explanation is extreme, but Turkey is very much a wild card in the current scheme of things.

Erdogan's Islamist politics alone make Western powers nervous after years of dependable pro-Western/anti-Islamist governments, enforced as needed by the Turkish military.

Throw in Turkey's desire to play a leadership role in the Middle East coupled with the fact that what we call "the Middle East" was basically territory of the Ottoman Empire through about the end of the 19th century and it's not hard to see the guys who move around chess pieces on maps get a little curious as to what's happening there.

Of course if they drive a Pinto, they are much safer being the fastest car on the road. :-)

You have clearly never seen a speed trap where you go from 45 to 25 and back to 45 in a few hundred feet. If there is a large truck already following you too close, it cound be very dangerous (bordering on suicidal) to slam on your brakes when you round a bend and see the 25 MPH sign.

...I always drove about 5 MPH faster than the prevailing traffic speed.

It's totally subjective, but it felt a lot safer to be determining my own path through traffic than merely fitting into the herd.

Actually, the tolerances are codified in law for some jurisdictions and discretionary in others.

The tolerances are there because speedometers and radar guns have limited accuracy. It is entirely plausible that speed limit is 70, speedometer reads 70, car is actually going 72, and radar reads 73.

It's important to make a distinction between casual and disheveled. There are plenty of ways to dress that are not a suit and tie but cannot be called disheveled.

I tend towards business casual when I go in to work. Solid colored v-neck, dark pants w/ no holes, un-scuffed rubber soled shoes.

While there are limits, the standard suit and tie are often impediments to an engineer. When the business people want to get in close and see what's actually going on, it means going over to accounting and looking at spreadsheets. For an engineer though, it may mean pulling up the floor and going into tight spaces with lots of dirt and possibly grease (especially for devops). It may mean going into environments where a suit doesn't allow the mobility needed and a tie is an actual danger. Ties and lathes do NOT mix!

My home backup system is rsync on a cron job to another machine. It's easy. 2TB HDs cost $80 and a Raspberry Pi is more than enough to host one as a backup. No need for 5 guys to monitor that.

MOST viruses and trojans are more interested in carving out a space for a rootkit so they can spam, DDOS and have a jumping off point for other exploits. Those never touch your data and can be blocked by not running as root. I know of one (cryptolocker) that screws with user data. That one would be where the backups and snapshots come in.

You should look at AppArmor, it's much easier to live with than SELinux.

I'm going to need some citation for that. As far as I can see, if we cut out those things I listed above (that do not enjoy a lot of voter support), we could have a balanced budget now. We had just gotten there during the Clinton administration and so we can be there again.

IMHO, a lot of academic radical feminism borders on misandry.

There are arguments to be made about gender imbalances in every society, but radical feminism often takes it to such an absurd level that I question when it stopped being a legitimate cultural critique and started being the expression of individual emotional imbalance.

Get handed over to the U.S. and get extreme rendition to some hellhole where he gets tortured and the U.S. gets plausible deniability.

Further, he has not been indicted. There is currently no trial awaiting him. He is wanted for QUESTIONING but mysteriously, they refuse to simply question him over phone or video conference. This is after he had already been formally granted permission to leave the country.

There are significant irregularities under both Swedish and U.K. law. It's little wonder he smells a rat.
