Don't bother adding *real* value, just make it harder for the consumer in the long run. This will end well.

To me the biggest security win with VM's is the ability to properly size a system for what it is actually doing. No more adding "just one more" service to a box because it's got more horsepower than it needs. By doing more logical partitioning of the software you limit the commingling of data, administration, and crash risk between different services.

Oh, and to output a pipe to multiple processes you just need to use tee.

tee >(process1) >(process2) >(process3) | process4

After which you could use something to join the files back together. I've used such a syntax to pipe the output of an application over ssh while also taking a sha1sum without the need to save it locally.

Psst,

" | sort | uniq -c "

Will sort and then count repetitive lines and output count, line. You can pipe the result back through sort -n if you want a frequency sort or sort -k 2 for item sorting.

Bad summary. 1B gals/year is quotes in the article.

The N900 is a limited success *despite* Nokia's best effort, just like the "NIT"'s before it. I mean come on, the firmware has bugs that are 2 generations old and still stewing. Development for the device is a joke since it was ( last I checked ) still basically tied to running debian or ubuntu on your development system unless you wanted to use Python.

I have developed for the N810 and was sponsored by Nokia to the first Maemo conference. What I saw and heard lead me to the conclusion that it was a dead-end without partners. MeeGo *might* change my view if they can finally bring a mainstream success to the table without the continued alienation of their development community.

Color me skeptical; what are the chances this is not another overpriced "flagship" POS from Nokia?

I think what GP was trying to say is what if the malware has altered the the reported amount of memory in the system and is now hiding in the chunk that neither the bios nor the OS believes exists?

How about hiding in any number of IO mapped chunks of memory like the BIOS or Video Ram?

"You do realize that in the US more children get sick from the polio vaccine than from the actual disease."

That is hard considering US use of the Oral Polio Vaccine was discontinued in 2004 and even then it was not recommended unless the patient in question was at risk because it's known to carry a tiny risk. IVP has been the recommended way to receive the vaccination which has no significant risk except as an egg allergen.

School is reporting that it's a "phone home" feature activated for suspected stolen or missing laptops. This kid and his parents are full of it.

All three of you presume she is human to begin with.

Illegal as hell under FCC rules since this would would be an unlicensed device intentionally disrupting a licensed service. At least that's my reading, the device might as well be a DoS for legitimate users within the range of the device.

This is especially true with US "Security Theater" since the line for security is usually the longest in the airport. I have personally been in lines that are 1.5 hours long with hundreds of travelers and those lines are becoming ever more common with each new security measure they tack on.

In different parts of the country, like Florida, they have traffic lights in a horizontal orientation.

$200 and should drive a 22" monitor no problems, can't confirm PXE bootable, but with 160GB HD it should be easy enough to load up a netboot stack.
