Comment on Wiping & Protecting Data from SSD/Flash Drives by Lawrence

Not too sure if this place have frequent visitors and if its the right place to post this question….

An SSD with TRIM, will it address the security-issues brought about by wear-leveling?

AFAIK, during a file-encryption operation, the file is encrypted and re-written back into the same sectors/blocks, no files are deleted (except for the temp files created during the encryption process). As such, if the encrypted file is written back into the same space occupied by the previously plain file, then there should be no additional fragments of the files being written around on the SSD, right?

Sorry, but you say “For a while, the ‘Match” keyword appeared in the list of directives.” Does this mean it doesn’t appear anymore?

@ Tristan

Maybe it’s because you didn’t reboot?
I did.

@Tristan

I did exactly what you said to recompile the card and now it’s working – no problem with the channels at all.

Comment on Smile, You Just Have Been Indexed! by Obiora Okwudili

This internet thing’s kind of random, as much as we read about SEO permitation and make efforts to advertise our site’s / blogs or other there still seems to be a nagging problem with search bots, spiders and engines which refuses to leave honest people alone.

With ever increasing diversity, routes to advertising, social networking and ad hoc self publicity – twitter, facebook, Open Forums, development communities on google and reddit to name just a few..

I find it difficult to beleave that this sort of activity could refute to raise more than 17 views and 11 followers on other channels!?

The re-tweet’s alone showed higher numbers, from the source than are presented on the hover buttons per post detail!

hijacking, blocking / diverting public and private networks or their traffic for personal gain.. problem space between admin’s ears! – could be.. even looked into a ‘Flesch’ and ‘Gunning Fog’ test for my blog, reviewing search engine optimisation and whether in actuality any portals take content or its composition into consideration when registering sites for ranking – or is it just a money thing!?

The concept of a free user space still hasnt resulted in a more moderate onslaught of these meglomaniacs despite all their published knowledge..

Good to scope these things for free – build up a user base, before buying hosting..

Great post, and really well done with the patch. Beat me to the punch

I’ll have to play about with the patch at the weekend and implement some more restrictive Match rules

Great post. I didn’t know about the configurable conditions.
I also see some really great advantages in your QoS idea.
Thanks for sharing.
