Bought direct from EVGA. Check their websites, many of them offer them direct for sale. They may be out of stock so you'll have to do a notify.

I had to buy mine direct from the manufacturer for MSRP for a new build.

Still cheaper than Newegg/Amazon/etc.

Correct, I'm too damn used to dealing with Apple stuff. It's also like another form of cancer, but a lot less pervasive and far more noticeable.

"Cisco" and "security issue" go together like peanut butter and chocolate. Knowing this, and with the knowledge that IOS is some form of arcane torture, leads me to wonder: why hasn't Cisco been completely obsoleted by Juniper or other providers?

>Looks like quite a feat to qualify a spacecraft power supply!

It's actually a hell of a feat to get any kind of electronics certified for outer space use.

The atmosphere we have blocks a HUGE portion of ionizing radiation, including x-rays and gamma rays. Those forms of energy will play merry hell with any kind of sensitive electronics, so they have to be suitably ruggedized -- far more so than even most military specs which mostly call for shock, impact, and exposure to elements. Since they can be supplying power to sensitive electronics, where half a volt can be the difference between containing and letting out the magic smoke, that sort of regulation is absolutely key.

Fingerprints are not passwords or usernames. They're another form of authentication.

Remember: MFA is a two-or-more combination of: something you know (password, pin, etc.), something you have (keycard, token, fob, etc.), something you are (fingerprint, iris scan, voice recognition, etc.), and potentially even somewhere you are (geolocation).

As I sardonically stated on Twitter, it's not a real vulnerability until it has a catchy name and logo. It's the newest node.js hipster pentesting tech.

Most portable filters will, actually. They've got fine enough filters to catch protocysts; they'll easily catch any metal contamination. What they don't get are smaller bacteria and virii, which is where secondary purification in the form of boiling or purification tablets is necessary.

I disable referers for all browsers. Firefox has them off completely, with Referer Control using a random one for Chrome. I only enable them for sites that absolutely need them (and that I need to use).

It's simply good data hygiene and privacy.

Boiling is what did it. Boiling is the most sure-fire way to disinfect water.

UV will kill most microbes, which is why things like the UV pens are good for purification. However you need to at least run it through a filter first to remove large particulate matter, as the UV won't penetrate into those and kill the microbes inside. Most filters also won't catch viruses and bacteria, just protocysts and dirt.

Pretty much this. Law enforcement is trying to get their monetary share from crime (or "crime" depending upon how you look at it), and anything they can do to make that easier they want.

Surprisingly, the CPU+mobo combo I just bought for a new build was cheaper from a local Microcenter than Amazon. Plus, I could get it the same day (ordering it on Saturday night, I'd get the mobo Sunday and CPU Tuesday if I did Amazon -- went next day and got both from Microcenter for about $50-60 less).

Good for you, you're an exception far removed from the rule.

Of course, if a S3 region gets nuked, it can have repercussions in other zones too. Remember the S3 outage?
