Just unplug your internet connection. Voila, a private network.

If you're talking to a senior exec about database replication, you're doing it wrong. They don't care. They just want the text link to be green, and don't understand why these crazy-haired people underneath them keep banging on about unimportant things like database replication.

Interestingly, the comic isn't making a commentary on the usefulness (or not) of cryptography. It's making fun of people who don't properly evaluate all their threats when they design security systems.

The guy recording them gets copyright on the recording of the performance. Which he can't use for commercial purposes without explicit consent of those in the recording.

Ah, the people who miss off the most important part of the 2nd law. They're a fun bunch of illiterate idiots.

I'm thinking along this line, I've got a Nexenta box, but planning on migrating to Solaris 11 / OpenIndiana and running crashplan on it.

My issue is how to approach the ZFS block devices exposed as LUNs on FC. Solaris can't peek inside these (they're formatted as either VMFS-5 or NTFS), so crashplan can't do file-based backup on them. Short of getting a subscription for every client and the NAS as well, I can't see a better solution :(

Richard Stallman invented neither freedom nor software. Both are widely used generic Engliah words. You might like to think he owns the concept of 'freedoms as they pertain to software', but wishing it doesn't maker it so.

And now, in the spirit of this, I'm going to redefine 'conflake cake' to mean 'Richard Stallman'.

They've got plenty of choice for the stuff that isn't under the GPL.

They've already released the GPL components I believe.

Gnu.org don't get to own the definition of 'software freedom' any more than I get to own the definition of 'cornflake cake'. GP's point is these things are inherently subjective. Referencing someone's opinion as a definition betrays a rather closed mind.

How is the wrapper based on a GNU GPL'd source?

Why would they sanitise their inputs, gIven that XSS is caused by output content encoding bugs?

You appear to fail to understand networking, IPv6, IPv4, routing and the scale of the problem that IPv6 is solving.

But I like swearing at my computer!

Post to undo mistaken mod. Doh.

Apps can't read the database on non-rooted phones. So yes, you need physical access so you can root the phone first to get at the data.
