Preventing HPV infections is doing something useful, esp as HPV infections have been shown to be a cancerogen.

Exactly. Any such host name base scheme will also not cover all the other funtions the same host is being used for either, and systems are rarely single function building blocks. This is what is handled much better by configuration management databases.

Virtualbox supports VM hot migration (teleportation) since version 3.1.

Neither did Hammond.

Stratfor was not a joke. It still is not a joke, even if they have issues with computer security, but in that specific regard, they are no different to some random comapny and should not really be judged any differently. There are not many organisations that can do what they accomplish(ed).

If you want a motive for why FBI might want to have Stratfor be "trashed", you need not look any further than "foreign corrupt practices act". Stratfor would have been toeing the line in many cases, and yet have had powerful protectors telling FBI off from investigating. I'm not claiming FBI ordered it, or that this was the reason, but these are possible scenarios.

Hammond is in trouble because of his beliefs. Because the net that FBI cast to select which members of Lulzsec to target for closer observation and then prosecution was not primarily based on the gravity of the actions of the members, but on other actions the people supported and the beliefs they echoed. Sure, he is also in trouble because he did illegal things - but out of a large set of people to prosecute, he was picked based on the statements he made. Which he did based on his beliefs.

Just because he is in trouble because of his alleged criminal actions, it does not mean he is also not in trouble because of his beliefs.

Right. Just like the suffragettes backed down immediately it became obvious that its dangerous? Just like the civil rights people all disappeared into thin air the moment it became clear that not only can you go to prison or get killed for it, but more of then than not, the goons were the people supposedly upholding law? There is no credible evidence to date that anonymous and lulzsec members don't know what they are up to, or penalties for getting caught.

It raises a lot of questions about which initiatives of Lulzsec are actually genuinely their work and which as really the work of FBI, carried out by the willing hands of Lulzsec. Maybe FBI wanted to take down Stratfor, but lacking a legitimate way, siced their inside man on it. It will also make for a very obvious defence for anybody arrested - they have a very easy way of claiming that what they did was on orders of Sabu and hence the law enforcement agency themselves now trying to prosecute them.

This is also going to be a big blow to credibility of FBI.

Obviously not. Also, he is not really "open source engineer", because what he does (when he actually does something besides empty talk) is not "engineering".

Any time, as any serious application will need checksums anyways. It does not help you one bit if you spread data over seven 10 GB file systems or a single 70 GB file system - you will get exactly the same amount of URE in your 70GB data set.

"This much data" ? Hello? Are you a time traveler from the 1990s who has missed a decade of storage space expansion or simply trying to have a cheap laugh? 72TB is not "much" in this day and age. Also, fsck only deals with metadata, if you are worried about what happened to your data, the file system at hand is not adequate to your needs anyways.

Right. Very funny how you managed to pick out the two systems that don't run on x6 out of the three. If your question was even remotely serious there are two options for you: Solaris and FreeBSD.

Enticing them to sell it to you is entrapment as far as "sale of stolen property" is concerned.
