If I know someone then I'd maybe be interested, lie if one of you guys did (unless you were really boring) but I can't understand following someone I don't know
I never understood why anyone watches the Kardashians, or any of those shows. But then in general celebrity holds no interest to me. And non-celebrities are even less likely to interest me. Unless I have met them
@RoryAlsop There's at least three reasons: Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney. The order of significance being up to the viewer's particular preferences. Oh, and the whole show could totally be on mute.
@DavidFreitag Yeah, but it's free and on network television. And something you can usually watch with your XYL, 'cause she's watching it for the celebrity gossip anyway.
@Simon Anyone who's smart about keeping their website clean will have spyware loaded on your PC that reports your public IP to them regularly so they can automatically update their blacklists.
Oh, and there's petitions into some nation-states to back-door all computers at the OEM with facial recognition software. So the webcams will report what computer you're on, and its public IP, to the government at all times. Then the government will provide a public API to retrieve updated status so people can keep their blacklists synced just for you, @Simon.
so here's an interesting question.... when we security types get asked about the inevitable mainstream stories on this android vuln (with a headline like "950 million phones at risk" it'll go mainstream I reckon) what do we recommend to them?
@Herringbone_Cat "I grew up on IRC in the 1990s; and am an old-school hacker from before the days when "hacker" meant anyone who can make a crummy web site in Ruby"
Also, I understand your envy because you're too young to remember the days of BitchX and smurf, but some of us have experience dating back to an era before you. :)
Fun fact: one can have a password-encrypted key for an Apache-SSL server. But then it blocks the boot sequence, until the sysadmin types the password on the console.
@DavidFreitag Unfortunately here in the "maker" scene (which is the umbrella over what open source hardware communtiy there is) the commoditization of the word hacker continues.
I am trying to modify the files in my roaming profile on windows 7, but I keep getting an error that says I need permission from myself to perform this action.

I was doing IT consulting around 2009 and we had some junior kid literally going around and migrating users to local profiles in environments we'd inherited with roaming. Then the clients would be like "wow everything is so much faster to startup and login now, you guys are a great IT company!"
IIRC my first run-in with roaming profiles was in 98 when we could't work out why building things was so slow, then we realised that we had the Netware doc.set in our profiles on a server at the other end of a 64Kb ISDN line... avoided them mostly where I could after that
@Simon Mostly because you can't re-seal it. I mean, that works for Canadians because they consume 2.5L of maple syrup per day, but for us humans it makes little sense.
It is kinda sad when throughout your entire life you have eaten the cheap stuff, so when you try the real thing you realize you enjoyed the cheap stuff more.
@RоryMcCune oh dear. it's like someone left a bucket of failure out in the sun for six months, then puked into it - and then they called it PHP and built an insecure web app on it!
Luckily that guy was intelligent enough to select aluminum polymer caps instead of regular aluminum electrolytics, those wouldn't last long with no ventilation.
It definitely wouldn't do anything. It uses a TI OPA2132 amp. Basically the noise on the amp would eventually clamp the output to the positive voltage rail
What would be incredible is if it also had a bluetooth/aptx Module, so you could stream remotely with the amp in your pocket rather than have it connected to something. That'd also probably require a battery.
Although after last year's rocky mountain audio festival, I've seen so many headphone amplifiers I'd be hard pressed to do a DIY. I've actually been using these Pendulumic wireless headphones, and believe it not, the fidelity is great.
@DavidFreitag When the notch is covered, the drive is supposed to prevent any attempt at writing -- and drives from that era were doing it mechanically, with no possible override from software.
This is a protection against human errors, not attackers.
@ThomasPornin I did not say anything about attackers, I meant that if he wanted to use it for something other than storing the installer for that software, he could.
The way he worded that, it sounded like he meant it was permanently read only.
@DavidFreitag if you think writing proper documentation takes a long time, you should try writing poor documentation over and over again until you get it right.
@LucasKauffman of the current opposition parties WP's having some trouble with their larger multi-seat ward - but a lot of it is the government playing dirty in my opinion. SDP's not got experience in parliament but they're the best organised in terms of alternate policies. There's one other party that was started by an ex pap dude who NEARLY became president.
They're an unknown, but they might be standing in my neighbourhood
