Computer Fraud and Abuse Act

The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) was enacted by Congress in 1986 as an amendment to existing computer fraud law (18 U.S.C. § 1030), which had been included in the Comprehensive Crime Control Act of 1984. The law prohibits accessing a computer without authorization, or in excess of authorization. The original 1984 bill was enacted in response to concern that computer-related crimes might go unpunished. The House Committee Report to the original computer crime bill characterized the 1983 techno-thriller film WarGames—in which a young Matthew Broderick breaks into a U.S. military supercomputer...

Tomorrow night, I will have the honor to photograph the CUNYAC Basketball Championship Finals (both men and women!) for my alma mater, College of Staten Island. This does mean I won't be around for much of the day tomorrow, primarily 5:30 pm to 11 pm EST (22:30 to 4:00 UTC), though I might be able to check in briefly during halftime or between games.

...and I am covering the women's semifinal match at the City College of New York on Wednesday.

Not sure about the finals yet. That depends on how the men and women do in the semifinal round.

Like last year, I will have baseline access in the press box.

Q: Does the HP Stream 14 have the capacity to run all of these things?

These are the details of an HPStream 14 Intel Celeron N3060 dual-core processor: 1.60GHz (with Max Turbo Speed of 2.48GHz) 4GB DDR3L SDRAM system memory 32GB eMMC drive 802.11ac Wireless LAN What I want to do is install a VM, install Ubuntu Linux (64-bit), install a VPN and run Tails on TOR ...

virtualbox

Its a really bad question but I'm not sure what's the 'right' close reason

Bob

@JourneymanGeek The comments on it are wrong too... that machine can do those things.

bwDraco

I'd treat it as a hardware recommendation, with a comment explaining further.

Journeyman Geek

@Bob semi agreed.

bwDraco

Technically possible, but I'd say the storage will be a massive limiting factor. (The OP could put vDisks on an external volume, though.)

Journeyman Geek

12:36 AM

why even run tails as a VM?

bwDraco

Even Atom-based Celerons are capable of hardware-assisted virtualization.

Bob

@bwDraco TOR/VPN/TAILS implies just web browsing. You don't need storage for it.

In the TAILS case you quite literally do not need storage: it is designed to be a non-persistent OS.

bwDraco

Hmm...

Not too familiar with this.

Bob

(well, ok, you need maybe 1 GB of read-only...)

Ultimately, the limiting factor will be how much the web browser uses.

@bertieb Keyboards do not digitize an analogue signal and do not respond to pressure. The pressure activates a digital switch.

bwDraco

Technically possible, but not going to be a great option. Are you installing Ubuntu onto the bare metal and running VMs on that, or using the stock Windows? Also, why not just boot Tails directly on bare metal from a USB flash drive? — bwDraco 1 min ago

FML Cat

@ThatREDACTEDGuy Depending on how up-to-date/savvy they are you could have cameras, joysticks, gamepads, dial-up modems, ADSL modems, cable modems, light sensors, hall effect sensors, TV/radio tuners, VR headset motion sensors, IR eye tracking sensors, WiFi/Bluetooth/other radio cards, voltage sensors, temperature sensors, or pretty much any form of sensor for input, and pretty much any type of RF device or modem for both input and output. Fan/light controllers, robotics controllers, car steering. etc

Just about anything you'd find in a "smart home" too... my bathroom scales for example!

Journeyman Geek

analog keyboards do exist tho

Bob

@FMLCat I suppose it depends on definitions... not an analogue electrical signal but the pressure that actuates the switch is an analogue real-world event. The electrical signal is (almost) purely digital though.

Journeyman Geek

@ThatREDACTEDGuy non answer "whatever the notes say" cause professors kinda expect you to think on your own, except when it comes to questions ;p

FML Cat

12:52 AM

@JourneymanGeek Some rare ones do, but they are very specialist

Bob

But it's a bit of a shakey example :P

FML Cat

Practically all computer keyboards are not pressure sensitive and purely digital on/off switches.

Bob

@FMLCat Networking equipment is probably the best example, yea.

FML Cat

If they're ass-backwards and 80's textbook regurgitators I guess you could put plotters, projectors, and buzzers in there for output...

Bob

Could also toss trackballs in as input devices.

Punch card reader!

(some punch card readers used optical sensing to detect punches in the card)

Bob

@bwDraco That's ... pretty digital.

If you want to get pedantic about it, digital => analogue => digital.

FML Cat

@Bob Depends if you consider quantum physical phenomena "digital" since they're discrete quanta

bwDraco

I still have a few old unused NYU punch cards from one of my CompSci professors.

Bob

@FMLCat Then at some level everything is digital :P

But most optical sensors have some charge time, which means they'll be in an in-between state for some (very very short) time. Is that analogue? Or digital?

*shrug* Everything is a particle. Everything is digital. Everything is a wave. Everything is analogue. (I think that's how quantum mechanics worked)

FML Cat

@Bob Everything doesn't really exist

Cray-2

The Cray-2 is a supercomputer with four vector processors made by Cray Research starting in 1985. At 1.9 GFLOPS peak performance, it was the fastest machine in the world when it was released, replacing the Cray X-MP in that spot. It was, in turn, replaced in that spot by the Cray Y-MP in 1988. The Cray-2 was the first of Seymour Cray's designs to successfully use multiple CPUs. This had been attempted in the CDC 8600 in the early 1970s, but the emitter-coupled logic (ECL) transistors of the era were too difficult to package into a working machine. The Cray-2 addressed this through the use of ECL...

hi guys if you look here at the CMake reference:

there are numbers in parantheses behind commands. I've something similar in the man pages of git. Does someone know what they refer to? I mean the numbers?

That REDACTED Guy

Q: What does the number in parentheses shown after Unix command names in manpages mean?

For example: man(1), find(3), updatedb(2)? What do the numbers in parentheses (Brit. "brackets") mean?

linux unix command-line manpage

364

Q: What do the numbers in a man page mean?

So, for example, when I type man ls I see LS(1). But if I type man apachectl I see APACHECTL(8) and if I type man cd I end up with cd(n). I'm wondering what the significance of the numbers in the parentheses are, if they have any.

man

206

Q: What do the parentheses and number after a Unix command or C function mean?

I keep seeing parentheses and a number after a command in Unix or Linux or C function. For example: man(8), ftok(2), mount(8), etc. What do these mean? I see them in man too.

linux command-line unix c manpages

What do the numbers in parentheses in Linux man pages stand for?

Journeyman Geek

I tried this along with Flater's answer. Unfortunately, her main and sole argument was that "everyone else paid her" so I should pay her too. The diplomatic option did not work so I had to firmly state I would not pay her back.

jokerdino

hit us

djsmiley2k

it's a bit weird, unless you've personally dealt with PTSD and it's assoicated imaginings before

But the short version is.... I've already come to terms with the fact everyone I know will eventually die, as my mind spent (it does no longer, as I've over come it) a long time playing out each of those scenarios and how I'd deal with it....

And suddenly it just hit me that when I was 12/13, I came home from school one day, and my younger brother who didn't understand, burst out into the hall and almost gleefully said (it wasn't, but it felt like it was to me) that Nana had died.

and that'd explain my ptsd's association with dealing with death

The actual imaginings went a lot darker than people just dying, but I won't go into that, that doesn't matter.

The interesting bit is the fact that something at the time which was Major, but... I thought I'd dealt with it.... had since plagued me for years.
