What happens when 1500 hard disks crash at the same time

Bilal Hameed | 32,559 Views

Hard Disk crash is usually a nightmare, it comes with a lot of problems like data loses, and could even cripple an organization or a company if you don’t have proper backup systems in place.

Business 2.0 magazine lost their entire data for June 2007 edition and almost missed out publishing in June due to hard disk crash. However, there are people who thought of making some fun of this situation and have played domino with 1500 hard disks by crashing them at the same time.

The house is also worth seeing, I like how the backdoor opens to a pond.

User Account cannot open in Control Panel

I am using a HP Windows XP SP2 PC. The windows boots up by default to the Administrator account. When I tried using the User Account function in the Control Panel to create / switch user, it would not start up. I have also tried using the Computer Management tool but when I click on the Local Users and Groups item, it give me an error "Unable to access the computer XXX. The error was: Invalid syntax" and this feature is marked with a red 'X'.

How do I resolve this flaw without need to go through the reinstall the OS ?

I even CANNOT create an alternative User account by using the Run "control userpasswords2" as a "backdoor" entry into the user accounts management program and create / delete users.

Help, anyone out there who has a solution to this problem!!!

What Olympics leave behind: Police State 2.0

clipper's remarks: US companies, formerly forbidden from selling police tech to China, equipped 660 Chinese cities with spycam networks, under the guise of Olympics security. They'll find their real use after the Games move on.

Chinese corporations financed by U.S. hedge funds, as well as some of American's most powerful corporations -- Cisco, General Electric, Honeywell, Google -- have been working hand in glove with the Chinese government to make this moment possible: networking the closed circuit cameras that peer from every other lamp pole, building the "Great Firewall" that allows for remote internet monitoring, and designing those self-censoring search engines.

The price tag has been put at a staggering $12-billion -- to put that in perspective, Salt Lake City,

SEC, others, to probe short seller manipulation???

Where was the SEC when banks were misrepresenting their statements of financial position on which investors were reliant?

Where was the SEC when the rating agencies were handing out AAA like candy on Halloween?

Where were the SEC when financial CEOs were telling investors and employees that everything was fine when they had knowledge of an impending collapse?

Where was the SEC when the Federal Reserve made illegal secret backdoor deals with the financial industry?

Where was the SEC when companies like Bank of America and Countrywide bribed and gave preferential treatment to Senator Dodd and others?

What a joke investing in the US has become.

Stop Loss = Back Door Draft?

Stop-Loss: A Look at the US Military Policy that Creates a “Backdoor Draft” to Force Soldiers to Continue Service

With about 175,000 troops deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan wars, the US military has been forced to rely on a controversial policy known as “stop-loss” to force soldiers to continue serving after their voluntary stints had ended. We speak with two US soldiers: one on active duty in Iraq on his second tour of duty after being stop-lossed, the other facing redeployment after being stop-lossed. We also speak with Hollywood director Kimberly Peirce about her feature film, Stop-Loss. [includes rush transcript]

SPC. CASEY PORTER: I honored my commitment. Why is my commitment not being honored on the other end?

LINDA PORTER: I view stop-loss as a selective draft. It is only against those people who volunteered.

so if I conduct myself with honor and integrity, two Army core values, I would like to see the military conduct themselves in a similar way.

Mullen: Stop-Loss Won't End Anytime Soon

clipper's remarks: From blog:

"I would like to see an end to the stop-loss policy, but I don't see it happening in the near future," Mullen said during a question-and-answer session with the troops. "I see a slight growth in the next couple of years based on predictions right now."

Mullen said about 11,000 Army soldiers are now serving under the stop-loss policy, which critics have referred to as a "backdoor draft." Retaining troops beyond the date they're due to leave the military has been necessary to keep units stocked with trained soldiers ready to deploy to Iraq and Afghanistan, he said.

Not only did Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Michael Mullen say that the military's stop-loss policy would continue, he also said that the number of people affected will increase--and that the current policy will remain in place for at least another three years.

This is bad news:

FORT STEWART, Ga. - The U.S. military's top uniformed officer told an audience of Army troops Wednesday the unpopular "stop-loss" policy won't end anytime soon, and he predicted a small rise in the number of troops forced to serve past their re-enlistment or retirement dates.
Navy Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told an audience of 600 soldiers at Fort Stewart he understands the strain the stop loss practice and multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan have placed on service members.

Governments Push For Digital Download Tax

Governments Push For Digital Download Tax

Like the rest of us, state governments have begun to understand the pains of the current economy. As they massage their budgets and desperately search for new sources of income, they seem to have fixed their gazes on an easy target: digital downloads.

The states that have successfully implemented the digital download tax have struggled to find the right language to justify the tax. Overall, the extension of the tax law seems by many (especially outraged consumers) to be illegal. These are the loopholes some states have found:

It’s unclear whether or not this tax will be adopted by all states, but the general dissatisfaction in the downloading community is a force to be reckoned with. Online retailers who don’t wish to see their customers upset lobby against the legislation, but backdoor taxation methods seem to be increasing as open discussion of the matter in the Senate continues to be clouded.

clipper's remarks:

Center for Biological Diversity said:

Protection under the Endangered Species Act will provide concrete help to polar bears and could revolutionize American climate policy. Since U.S. resistance to curbing greenhouse gases has allowed other countries to shirk their responsibilities as well, major changes in American policy are likely to have a powerful domino effect, catalyzing change in climate policy worldwide.
From polluting power plants in the Midwest to auto manufacturers, a vast array of industries may have to clean up their acts to give the polar bear a chance to survive.

Listing the polar bear as a threatened species would have significant public policy consequences. It would set a new precedent, representing the first linkage of species endangerment with global warming. Such a listing would basically wall off the entire Arctic region to exploration, resource extraction, and development--at least by U.S. companies--and a threatened species listing would give environmental groups the ability to sue future U.S. governments to force them to reverse climate change by whatever means necessary.

There is little doubt that such lawsuits would be filed quickly. According to the NRDC:

Listing the polar bear guarantees federal agencies will be obligated to ensure that any action they authorize, fund, or carry out will not jeopardize the polar bears' continued existence or adversely modify their critical habitat, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will be required to prepare a recovery plan for the polar bear, specifying measures necessary for its protection.

Smartphones: Pocketable Endpoints or Network Backdoor?

By Lyne Bourque
April 1, 2008

In today's corporate environment, very few people are without some kind of cell phone. And many phones have more functions and options than the average user needs. For better or worse, they are a ubiquitous part of life, and for many, they are simply indispensable.

Backdoors, in this context, describe non-obvious devices and technologies that can interface with a network and pry open an attack vector that most security mechanisms don't account for. For example, unauthorized wireless access points can be considered backdoors. Software backdoors -- and the paranoia surrounding them -- is a topic for another site...

Wireless Cell Provider Gave Feds Backdoor Access

Whistle-Blower: Feds Have a Backdoor Into Wireless Carrier -- Congress Reacts

A U.S. government office in Quantico, Virginia, has direct, high-speed access to a major wireless carrier's systems, exposing customers' voice calls, data packets and physical movements to uncontrolled surveillance, according to a computer security consultant who says he worked for the carrier in late 2003.

According to his affidavit, Pasdar tumbled to the surveillance superhighway in September 2003, when he led a "Rapid Deployment" team hired to revamp security on the carrier's internal network. He noticed that the carrier's officials got squirrelly when he asked about a mysterious "Quantico Circuit" -- a 45 megabit/second DS-3 line linking its most sensitive network to an unnamed third party.

Quantico, Virginia, is home to a Marine base. But perhaps more relevantly, it's also the center of the FBI's electronic surveillance operations.

suit names Verizon Wireless as the culprit.
