"Identity theft" per se is rarely the problem, it's the credit card (and other) frauds committed using the 'stolen' identity that cause issues. And obviously those frauds deprive both the actually-defrauded party and rightful 'owner' of the

Securecode is theoretically optional in most cases, transactions that go through it generally cost less than non-securecode ones but it shouldn't stop all transaction processing in most cases.

You're talking about the PAL codes[0] which were, indeed, 00000000 for a long time. That's entirely separate from another set of 'launch codes' that the Commander in Chief is never far from[1]. [0] https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en

The argument could be made that it's rare precisely because it's distinctly not trivial to do. He does what you describe except using cp instead of dd.

He has the running / on /dev/first, he's migrating that to a degraded array of just /dev/second then bringing /dev/first in to complete the array.

The 3.5 year old steps are equally valid today for many and probably most cases. Been there done that and I'd never do it again; the cost of the hard drive isn't worth the blood pressure and strong drink this kind of juggling causes. IFF th

The issue of this kind of thing simply not being talked about is a large part of the problem. Your friends may simply (understandably!) not want to talk about it. It's uncomfortable to suggest but picking 10 of your close female friends and

I'd post this to her site if I could but I'd like to sincerely thank Noirin for speaking out about this. We as a community have a long way to go and speaking honestly and openly about problems is the very first step.

It depends on your definition of 'very large scale'. Certainly any large financial/insurance company is going to be churning through great gobs of data that really does have to be universally consistent. This is basically the niche that kee

There's no mention of a DVD release date on any of the pages I can find, anyone know if it's in the works? Having to fly to the UK to watch it is a bit of a non-starter.

Depending on how you blur the definition of 'institution' either the Imperial House of Japan[1] or the Jewish Kehuna[2] might qualify. Some more candidates here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Archiv... [1] http://

Which of course leads to the questions of what that social policy would look like, how we could evaluate it and of course how to ensure that demand meets supply if it does work.

A cordless drill won't last you a 'lifetime' it'll last until the battery pack dies and you discover they no longer make compatible ones. Buy a good corded drill and extension cords and it really will last a lifetime.

My understanding is that the (no longer produced) T100 is the closest equivalent NA gets to the Hilux, it has a fully boxed frame and was offered in a 1-ton form (with larger brakes). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_T100

Sorkin explicitly agrees with you: > (It's only fair to note that the women--bussed in from other schools for the "hot" parties, wait on line to get on that bus without anyone pointing guns at their heads.) You seem to be pretty riled
