Back in the day, pre-torrent/p2p, we used to use hacked boxes to distribute our pirated materials over FTP. If you are lucky and find a stable box, it could last 1-2 years, though that was a pretty rare find. Most machines didn't last more than a month at most.
My company actually built one of the first fully digital aerial mapping systems (commercially at least) using the slightly newer and publicly available Kodak DCS's (~94). They were very nice cameras, especially for the time. I cant even imagine doing this kind of work with film, it would be so tedious. The speed to process the data was incredible when going all digital. This made up for the loss in detail compared to film for most jobs, especially since our costs were quite a bit lower.
Also interesting, is if i recall correctly Kodak actually made about 100 colour infrared versions too which was nice... until we couldn't reliably source them out! We ended up having to burn the filter off of the CCD of the standard RGB cameras systems with some sort of acid solution turning them back into their natural CIR mode.
FDE Is exactly why my home FS is Solaris 11 (32gb / AES-NI capable xeon). Linux ZFS + their encryption layers combined with large file preallocations performs very poorly.
Its too bad, i really dislike Oracle, but its the best tool for the job currently.
And for the person above, as long as you restrict the pool version to 28 when creating under solaris 11 you can still migrate between solaris/linux/bsd. Obviously you lose out on native FDE though.
Exactly. The original commenter's point is that they prevent someone from changing your password, but they don't prevent that person from deleting your account.
Hope springs eternal ... and I've still got a couple months left on my (terrible Canadian) 3-year contract - rocking the original Samsung Galaxy, obsolete OS, broken headphone jack and all.
