I don't know about the USA or Canada, but here in blighty that feature could get someone fined since it's illegal leave a vehicle unattended with the engine running on a public highway.
It's illegal in Canada and probably in most of the US as well. However, it's not typically enforced here in Canada. Also, I think we have a luxury of space on this continent. Most people park their cars in their own driveway.
You have a point. Certainly the general idea of these .name domains is suspect, but if we're going to accept them perhaps Africa is a special case. I have a feeling that the beleaguered continent could benefit from a sense of unity that such a thing may provide, all be it likely to a small extent.
I got the same from New York and thought perhaps your results were tied to a specific area. So I tried it from the Netherlands, same result. How about Ukraine? A little better - gay social is number 3 there. Hornet is a great name though, regardless of what you use it for.
As the article suggests, key authentication is probably the safer choice here. I'd say the best. But I do think that not a lot of people permit root login any more. I certainly don't. That means that an attacker still has to guess the user name for logging in. With a hypothetical name like K2fRln4b it could take them a while to even get to use their exploit - especially since fail2ban will have locked them out for a day after the third try.
The FCC accused T-Mobile US of creating a public danger.
Boy, you guys in the US are lucky the FCC even bothers to mention this sort of thing. In Canada Telus gets away with not providing service on a regular basis and the CRTC refuses to recognize it as even a problem.
This should never have happened in the first place. This tld should go to the ZACR which is supported by the African Union. The DotConnectAfrica CEO apparently said "thanks to God for helping to correct this act of victimization" in regards to ICANN's actions here, and she obviously also wrote the Wikipedia article about her company. Too weird.
You do know that Microsoft contributes to the FreeBSD kernel and is a gold sponsor of OpenBSD, right?
Of course, Microsoft contributes to a lot of things, even medical research. I don't see how I could use that information to make a choice about whether or not to use BSD.
Where's the internet infrastructure going to come from, or is this spiel specific to a certain area with extraordinary uptimes? Many countries have real problems with net stability. Some countries are really bad, but it's not that good here in Canada either. Should one not count the cost of downtime?
"If only a few benefit, then we're ahead."
That is the broken logic we see behind the typical politicians response: do something... anything...
Perhaps I didn't phrase that in a way that was meaningful to you. I agree with everything in you post, particularly about environment. I do think that an effort to influence that environment is worth attempting and don't plan to give up just like that.
No educational benefit? How about being able to do the homework in the first place? I'm sure one can find examples of schools that don't use internet access to supplement teaching, but there are many that do.
I know it's an uphill climb. Less advantaged kids often live in families where research and self learning is not valued, but showing them the way is still important. If only a few benefit, then we're ahead.
Nothing quite like the look on an operators face when they lose monitoring and control of a 100,000hp machine and the red button does nothing.
Don't want to be too pedantic, but what kind of machine has 100,000hp? The Komatsu D575A is billed as the world's biggest bulldozer (24' bucket) and it only has 1,150 horsepower. The world's biggest machine, Bagger 288 doesn't even come close to 100,000 hp - though it probably has more than one red button.
However most attacks are run-of-the-mill crap that isn't worth chasing the who. . . . Do you really care who stole your can of beans, or do you care more about how they broke into your house? I know which one I'd spend my time looking into
Right on. However, you've lost a can of beans. In the cyber world, chances are that you've only lost a copy of your can of beans, making your argument even stronger. It's more like the broke in and took a picture.
"When the limit is reached an alert is shown, although you may look up a further 15 searches the following day,” it continued.
So what's stopping someone at 15 searches? Can't you just log out and back in? If it's IP, change it. If it's your name, change that. If it's a cookie, delete it.
we "do not collect or store your name or address as part of this data", in its Code of Practice it admits that in some circumstances, Google Analytics "can capture the IP address of the user
It seems to me that if they don't collect or store any information then they wouldn't have an identity whereby to tell if it's the same person/computer making the query. Perhaps they're just not explaining themselves clearly.
Fixed IP address £2.50 per month.
That's out of line. The wholesale price is around 50 cents per year. You can get a whole VPS with one IPv4 addresses included for five bucks a year. (I have several) Using an RPi may be fun, but it's not the most economical solution.
I too run a mail server for my own use, but with your attitude I'm suspecting it will go wrong at some point. Yes, it's pretty easy to set up, but there are issues that make a professional service worthwhile.
Google seems to provide a sterling e-mail service. However, I'll never use it because I don't want to buy into the Google eco-system. That's my choice, and my cross to bear, but I certainly wouldn't be smug about my solution.
PS: I didn't give you an up or down vote. :)
“It uses the Apache web server and stores collected data in MySQL databases. File systems in a cluster are handled by the NFS distributed file system and the autofs service, and scheduled tasks are handled by the cron scheduling service.”
It sounds like it doesn't run on anything else, or at least only on a limited set of installations. Most desktop users don't bother to install Apache2, if they even know what that is.
