As an update to yesterday’s postponement:

Once we had ascertained we could not conduct the ceremony as originally scheduled, our first priority was to notify all impacted parties of the need to postpone. Once that was complete, we spent the evening reviewing our options with input from our expert staff and contractors.

Today, we held a briefing with the Trusted Community Representatives to discuss the equipment failure, our proposed approach to correct the fault, and possible dates to reschedule the ceremony. It was a very useful discussion where we explored the issues and developed a plan for moving forward.

The work to repair the malfunction is scheduled for Friday, 14 February. If this work is successfully completed on time, we expect to hold the Key Ceremony on Saturday, 15 February at 18:00 UTC. If further work is needed, we expect to know this by late Friday, and the new date for the ceremony will be announced in the upcoming weeks.

I'd particularly like to recognize the flexibility and willingness of the TCRs, our auditors, the RZM and our staff to make this happen.

If you're going to stay on the Management track, an MBA is probably worth more than any cert. Although a PMP Cert is also pretty well respected these days, both by HR and by Management types.

Keep in mind, most of the US carriers block SIP over their LTE hotspots. So if you're depending on this for voice, you're going to have problems.

At which point, none of your phone calls or SMS come thru, so you know that the device is compromised. And the attacker STILL needs the first-factor to pair with the SMS, and to have a way to trigger the security key SMS to come thru during the brief window between when the port happens and before it is noticed.

If anyone is that dedicated to hacking you, then they're going to get your data no matter what. (And if your data really REALLY is that valuable, then you'll be protecting it with something a hell of a lot more secure than this anyway....)

Actually, yes they do!

A few other places make similar products. Blocks the data pins and just leaves the charging pins bare.

TFA lists an email address for feedback. I'm not certain that it's appropriate for end-users, but I didn't let a little thing like that stop me from letting them know what I think about their little 'utility'. Perhaps others should do the same.

Someone let the white smoke out...

Damn, that's a useful device! Amazon carries this one and the slightly smaller QE4531 if you want faster shipping than the month wait on SentrySafe's website.

You know, at the end of the day, Canonical needs to concern itself with *its* bottom line too, you know.

Sorry, but I hate it how people think they can tell companies how they should allocate their resources to fix their own personal problems. FWIW, I haven't had any problems with wifi on the computers I've installed Ubuntu on, so obviously they're doing something right.

And I *really* want an ARM based GNU/Linux laptop,tablet, netbook.

It's interesting that you brought that up, given the history of the climate change "debate." Because until about 10 years ago, saying global warming doesn't exist was the position of the deniers. The position was that global temperatures were not increasing. Then the position was changed to admitting that that temperatures were increasing, but no faster than historical rates, even though it's clearly exponential growth.

Sir, while what you have discovered appears to be a conspiracy, after further digging we have determined that what you allude to is the result of (1) people changing their mind in response to new data, and (2) new people entering the debate with different points of view. I'm afraid the plot is more sinister than we had thought! As we know, only the noble and true follow their convictions until death.

Thanks for posting this (though why as AC? are you a competing scholar?).

One possibility though, would it make a difference if you excluded/included the names in the dialogue? You know how the dialogue says "Socrates:" and then what Socrates says. Your numbers seem so close...
