After having to replace laptops with stuck pixels far too many times, I like the idea of Sager/Clevo laptops. They guarantee no stuck pixels on delivery and for a few extra dollars they will guarantee no stuck pixels for a period of time. That's pretty important when you're spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on something you have to look at for most of the day, every day.
I recently shopped for laptops for home and for the office and I specifically excluded HP because of that ridiculous Beats Audio logo.
Not only is the logo tacky and unprofessional, it demonstrates that part of my purchase price was taken for something of no value whatsoever.
I'm waiting for Bruce Schneier's final take on this.
Right now he is throwing up his hands and saying "WTF?"
The Amazon WorkSpaces product is an interesting and affordable desktop-as-a-service from Amazon. For a flat, monthly rate, you get the equivalent performance of an m3.medium EC2 instance for far less cost but also with somewhat less configuration flexibility. The compelling feature of Amazon WorkSpaces is supposed to be close integration with your own Active Directory with Group Policies. For me, the more compelling feature is the high-performance, proprietary Teradici PCoIP protocol used
And now I try to imagine all the brainpower wasted on getting a handle on how git sees things rather than using the best tool for the job at hand.
Or you could start using Mozilla NSS (mod_nss). Not only independently written, it also aggressively protects private keys unlike any version of OpenSSL/SSLeay does.
All this episode does is to remind us that security is hard. Encryption is even harder.
About three thousand like-minded individuals are wondering why this article was conceived and assigned to someone to write for ANY reason and why whatever that publication happened to be, why did they feel the need to publish this drivel?
Putting symlink in
Trying to run a Java app from, say, http://kriston.net/games/, the Java runtime might still refuse to work on the principal of "security reasons." Feh.
ACARS may have been turned off, but the radio interface used by the ACARS system was still pinging.
The article does not make it clear that the satellite signals in question are those of ARINC's ACARS data system, developed in 1978.
The CANDU reactor program got it right decades ago and keeps getting better, but since it's not from the US, and has the false reputation of promoting nuclear proliferation, the US is not interested.
CANDU also, unfortunately, has a politically-fueled false perception of promoting nuclear proliferation partly because it was falsely accused to have aided the Smiling Buddha program (that was CIRUS, not CANDU, but who's paying attention?).
Oh, there is that unavoidable 1% tritium release rate, though.
It is not "coal sludge." It's coal ash slurry.
Did the OP even read the article? Even TFA refers to the flood as consisting of coal ash slurry.
There is no such thing as "coal sludge," but there is "coal slurry" which is something entirely different from coal ash slurry that allows transport of coal through pipelines in a very expensive process.
This is cool but let's not delay commuter rail and subway construction.
Yeah, I agree, but many folks' computers with checkbook software are also used for lots of other uses, including games. My opinion of SELinux still applies.
Thanks for your thoughts.
