Project Cauã will aim to put a server system in the basement of all of these tall buildings
(emphasis added)
Did no one learn anything from Hurricane Sandy, which flooded all those basements?
I came here to say this. I'm thinking you might want to put them a little higher up in the building, although I have no idea what the floodplain in Sao Paolo is like.
Please mod parent up.
Who wants to be that the Windows Power option for JavaScript timer frequency only affects IE, and not other browsers on the machine?
Great info and analysis, but you made one mistake.
The stats are traffic related fatalities per 100k vehicles per year. A nation with 1000 deaths per 100k vehicles per year does not equal a 1% annual death rate for vehicle owners, or the cumulative 25% over 30 years. The reason is that not all of the traffic related deaths are of vehicle owners, or even vehicle drivers. There are passengers and pedestrians as well. In countries with low average per capita income (or other economic indicator of your choice), the average number of passengers per vehicle tends to be higher. I don't have a study to link to prove this. Sorry.
Joining, and discovering are not the same thing. You don't need to join a network for your phone to register it as near your location.
Absolutely true. But your phone won't give away the MAC address of your previous network unless it's trying to join the fake wifi network. Unless I'm greatly misunderstanding what I read.
From GitHub:
To solicit ARPs from iOS devices, set up an access point with DHCP disabled (e.g. using airbase-ng) and configure your sniffing interface to the same channel.
Once associated, iOS devices will send up to three ARPs destined for the MAC address of the DHCP server on previously joined networks. On typical home WiFi routers, the DHCP server MAC address is the same as the WiFi interface MAC address, which can be used for accurate geolocation. On larger corporate WiFi networks, the MAC of the DHCP server may be different and thus cannot be used for geolocation.
I'm pretty sure that for a device to be associated, it has to be attempting to join the network. I could be wrong, I'm not a WiFi engineer. Please correct me if I'm wrong about that.
And this is why your iDevice should never be set to automatically join wifi networks.
Actually, NO device should be configured to automatically join wifi networks.
(For those who didn't read the docs that go with the software, this relies upon running an access point with no DHCP, which is what forces the iDevice to send ARPs for the last DHCP server it used).
Also, this means that if you want to "hide" your home network, don't run DHCP on your WiFi router, use another device.
So, this guy is trying to be at least semi-pro about this, and we're supposed to care what he thinks and says, but he can't be bothered to watch one episode each of eight different shows before writing an article about it?
How long are these? I'm guessing an hour. You can't spend eight hours WATCHING TV before writing an article you're being paid for?
And then it gets put up on Slashdot?
Has online journalism/tech news fallen so low that this qualifies as worth a front-page mention?
Note that this update is apparently only applied to systems running Windows 7 pre-SP1 or SP1, Windows Server 2008 R2 pre-SP1 or SP1, or Windows Server 2008 non-R2 SP2 (any edition of any of these). If you’re running Windows XP, Vista, or 8, presumably this won’t be an issue as the update would never even have been offered via Windows Update.
If that's the case, then why does the linked bulletin list every version of Windows under the sun (including RT and Server 2012!) as affected?
Business class isn't available at most residential addresses (especially apartments) - I've looked into it. The only ISP that was willing to consider it wanted $11,000 to extend their loop one block over to my neighborhood (although they graciously offered to cover the first $1000 of it themselves).
I've had business-class Verizon FiOS at two different apartments.
At one of them, I know Comcast also offered business class.
If you're trying to get an old-school service (like a T1 or something), then I can see the difficulty. However, for a service where the difference between business and home is only in the upstream stuff (e.g. cable modem or FttP), there's no reason for them not to sell business class service to whatever address wants it.
Didn't think about that. The hibernate file doesn't have any special permissions or encryptions or something does it?
It doesn't matter if the file is protected. If you can breach the kernel, and store your malware/rootkit/etc as part of the "session 0" data mentioned in the summary, then the OS will automatically save it all for you. No need to crack the file.
However, the file does provide another vector for attack.
I'm a bit late to the party, but yes, a real geek would use an HP, because all real geeks know that RPN is superior to DAL.
So this legislation makes it mandatory for them to notify the government within 48 hours... What about notifying customers and/or the general public? If someone steals my private info, especially banking info, I need to know ASAP. If they can still wait a week (or a month) before reporting to customers, this legislation is basically useless.
TFA mentions "nationwide" notification, but not a timetable.
Apparently you need a 'mirror' to view these optical illusions...
To me, it's not about number of screens, but the total amount of available screen space (both pixels and inches).
I regularly use one large screen (26" widescreen) for most of my work. I find this screen large enough to do side-by-side work when necessary. If I needed to have 3 items open at once (code/documentation/google search?), I would probably find it easier if I had more space than I do.
That said, when I'm really in the groove, I don't want anything but what I'm working on visible on my main screen. If I need a reference document open to glance at once in a while, I do find it better to have it on a separate screen, where it doesn't interfere with my concentration, but still lets me see both at once if I need to.
HELP!!!! I'm being held prisoner in /usr/games/lib!
