Typically, clusters without a majority (2 out of 3, 3 out of 5, 4 out of 7, etc) of nodes present will shut themselves down to prevent data corruption.

If you allow a 3rd party Touch ID sensor to send fingerprint data, you could compromise a powered on iPhone by connecting a malicious Touch ID sensor to it and sending spoofed fingerprints to unlock it.

Even if someone guesses my PIN, I still don't want them to be able to get a copy of my fingerprint sensor data. Who knows how many multi-factor auth systems will use fingerprints in the future? Stolen fingerprint data could become th

Yes, but if you stored all your bank accounts, credit cards, and private photos in your car, and any repair shop could connect a USB thumb drive and download the contents unencrypted, wouldn't you want a little bit of cryptographic ins

This seems like the right thing to do - disable the unauthorized Touch ID sensor, but don't brick the phone. The secure enclave is still intact and secure, and if you want Touch ID back, you can get it repaired with authorized parts.

I'm not a GlusterFS expert, and haven't used it before, but you should know that most consensus algorithms (Paxos, Raft, etc) only function reliably with an odd number of nodes. I have to wonder if your problems were mostly self-

The important thing is to voice your disapproval. I'm confident that my wording could be improved, but it's important that Obama quantify the sheer number of US citizens that disagree with this despicable act.

If you oppose this, please let President Obama know. The FBI is part of the executive branch of the government, and as such, directly reports to the president. In other words, if he tells them to stop, they must comply. Please register y

Thanks for the response. You can also encrypt EBS volumes using Amazon's KMS, so I'd research that. It will be an important feature for your potential enterprise customers.

Not encrypting at rest seems like a huge oversight, given that your service most likely uses AWS S3 and it is dead simple to turn on encryption. I'm not sure anyone will trust you to store their log data without at least encrypting da

#2 is just not true. They deliver point releases that add new core functionality all the time. For example, Photos for OS X was delivered in 10.10.3. A point release that came mid-year and delivered a huge amount of new functionality, in

I second the Angie's List recommendation. If you go with only people who have an A rating and many reviews, I've never gotten poor service. Also, when you think about the hundreds or thousands you could lose with a bad contracto

I've found that a very easy way to quickly determine whether an act of congress harms our rights is in the name itself. They almost always use doublespeak. In other words, an act called the FREEDOM Act is more likely to harm freedom

It's frustrating that Chrome and Firefox don't give any details about why the connection to an insecure site fails. You just get a "connection reset" page in Chrome, and a generic SSL security error in Firefox. I was de

It's easy to say COL is innacurate if you're a single person willing to live a frugal lifestyle. These are typically based on average family size, so in the US, that's a family with 2.3 children. I'm not sure what the

It's a US district court, as in Federal court, so no, you can't just choose not to show up if you are filed against. Unless, of course, you don't want to do business in the US, or have any assets here.

Fair enough. My experience is probably colored by the fact that I got bullied by members of the football team in my high school, who were never punished because the football players could do no wrong. In fact, my friends and I were physic

I appreciate this perspective and may change my mind when my son gets older. I would still stay away from contact sports if possible, but some sports like tennis, soccer, and baseball could be very rewarding.

The argument seems to mainly be: Sports are unpredictable, code is always predictable, so try to make your apps have the excitement of unpredictable experiences. Also, there is a lot of money in sports. No thanks. I believe designers sho

I think you don't really understand what Samba is for: OEMs. There are several very large companies selling rock solid enterprise NAS devices that need a rock solid implementation of CIFS on top of the seamless ability to join an AD domain

How about coming to the reasonable conclusion that a data center in a 17 story tall building is not practical? Most purpose built data centers are only a few stories tall and don't have these type of issues as they are not built on islands

Says who? I've benchmarked my friend's Verizon LTE phone and gotten consistent 20 megabits down and 20 megabits up in a variety of locations across the tri-state area (NY, NJ, CT). This is better than cable modem service in a lot of areas

If the device is free (or close to cost) then buyer beware... The device is not the product; you are!
