Also, with any optical disc storage you want to make sure to store them vertically. Gravity can do surprising things when given enough time.
I believe you're thinking of tape media, not optical. Tape needs to hang off the spools or else it will curl over time due to its weight.
Print all of your text documents on acid free paper in triplicate and store them in climate controlled facilities around the planet. Maybe even keep an extra copy on the Moon just in case. All of your digital files can be uuencoded before being printed out.
If you're really paranoid, you can encode everything into the DNA of some organisms and then distribute them throughout local and deep space with rocket ships and comets!
Full disk encryption is great, but assumes that you won't have unlocked it for the attacker.
That's why you also encrypt sensitive files separately. You only unlock the file when you're actually using it and then lock it back up when done.
Just use dd to create some space to use, create a filesystem on the file and then apply your preferred means of encryption. Encrypted USB sticks are another good solution.
Have you tried asking your boss for the furniture you'd like to use?
I believe employers (in the US) are required to make reasonable accommodations for employee health concerns. Perhaps you could get a note from your physician stating that he recommends you use a standing desk (for example)?
I dislike the fact the the DualShock 4 uses an internal battery that will eventually need to be replaced. I'd much prefer to use my rechargeable AA batteries since I have a bunch lying around. I also prefer it be heavier as I'm used to using the Xbox 360 controller with a Chatpad attached.
On the weekends I will play in binges of 8 to 10 hours or longer, so battery life can be an issue for me. As a result I tend to just leave a USB cable plugged into the controller at all times. I have also had problems with the controller when connected via USB. You need to be connected to a USB 3 port due to the power draw, the ports on my surge protector won't work, and I've noticed that sometimes the controller won't respond to the Playstation button to turn back on until I unplug the cable.
What part of never talk to the police do people not understand?
I'm sorry officer, I know you're just doing your job, but I've been advised by an attorney to not answer any questions.
It sounds like you're using a crappy vendor. We have a bunch of gear at Rackspace and I have to sign legal waivers when I access certain features of their portal such as the firewall management section. They have never assured me that our systems are secure given I have enough access to make things incredibly insecure.
Due to the nature of the data that we're working with we are legally obligated (PCI, HIPAA, etc.) to care about it being secure. If something does happen we are required to report a breach and can be fined by the government. We can't simply point to the vendor. Rackspace partners with companies such as Alert Logic (threat/vulnerability management), Imperva (traffic analysis, dynamic ip blocking, etc.) and Vormetric (data-at-rest encryption) in order to help us secure our environment.
Look at Eric Garner, sure it's a bit of a freak incident that the given amount of force was lethal, but if you use that level of force often enough you're going to get a lot of freak incidents. Were there other ways to approach that incident?
The given amount of force was not lethal. Garner was morbidly obese and died from a heart attack in an ambulance quite some time after he was taken down to the ground. Other ways to approach the incident? Sure, he could have cooperated with the police officers instead of resisting arrest. He also could have chosen to not break the law; from what I recall he had been arrested many, many times.
Cops are expected to deal with unstable potentially violent people, de-escalation should be their first priority, but when it comes to black people the instinct often seems to be to establish their authority instead.
Police _are_ the authority! If you don't try to fight with them you won't have to worry about them harming you. Their first priority should be to protect themselves.
That doesn't excuse them in any way, shape, or form really. The PSN breach was big news and anyone with half a head on their head would pay attention and then take a look around their own office to shore things up.
You've never worked for a large corporation, have you?
Why is the assumption made that it is a problem that women are underrepresented in CS?
Because there's money to be made and control to be gained by solving a made up problem?
Love may laugh at locksmiths, but he has a profound respect for money bags. -- Sidney Paternoster, "The Folly of the Wise"
