I accidentally typed this instead of "sudo su" and got some crazy output... what did I just do!?!

Hello, I am wanting be to be able to monitor the connections coming to (and from) my computer to see exactly what is going on. Kind of like a "Wireshark" deal... but with netstat instead! :D

I'd like to be able to append it to a text file as well. I would consider myself to be an amateur Unix user that is fairly comfortable with the *nix command line interface.

Anyways, any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

The possible scenarios I have in my head are in cases where one person might demonstrate how something like hacking, lock picking, or hot wiring is done to somebody else.

If the person that learns this stuff ends up committing a crime with his/her new found skills. Could that possibly make the person who taught the criminal the skill an accessary to criminal activity?

Are there any court cases that relate to this? If so, what are they or how can I find them? I'm not much of a legal person so I'm sort of ignorant to where I can find good information on this sort of stuff.

I was trying to enable bitlocker disk encryption on my computer and encountered this error. I know that there is a way to enable to encrypted anyway. However, I am still curious to know what TPM is.

If so, does the replication stay within the same namespace? Any information regarding replication with active directory would be appreciated!

I am looking for somewhat opinionated answers based on facts. In example, us the best computer career x because it has the best job security, or is it y because it has more money. Just want to hear your thoughts and perhaps learn something about the computer industry as a whole.

I've always had the theory that the drastic changes with vista lead to manufacturers having bad driver support upon vista's release (therefore giving it a bad name). Whereas manufacturers had windows 7 ready drivers that worked great on day 1. I've use.d vista and 7 and haven't had very many problems with either operating system.

Do people hate vista because other people tell them that they are supposed to hate it? Or is there a legitimate reason that I am overlooking.

I always park my car (Toyota Prius) on a 45 degree incline so I usually have my parking brake applied, but only after I have put my car in park and let the car settle into place. Although, one of my mechanically inclined friends claims that it is better to apply the parking brake before putting the car into park. Is this true? If so, why is this the case?

Thanks!

I am going to be building a new computer pretty soon and am wondering which of these processors is the better choice for me.

These are both quad core processors that have a lot of similarities:

Clocked @ 3.5GHz

8MB of L3 cache

Hyper-threading

Based on Haswell

Only ~$20 apart

I am a Computer Security/Forensics Student, so I need significant number crunching power because I do a lot of file carving and hash calculations, as well as running a good number of virtual machines simultaneously.

However, when I am not working, I am a pretty hardcore gamer. I have heard that the i7 is better for gaming and the Xeon is better for productivity... But since I'm going to be doing a lot of both I am not sure what would be the better pick! How much will my gaming performance suffer with the Xeon? How much will my productivity suffer with the i7? There aren't very many websites that computer Xeon and i7's in the gaming realm so any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

My other parts of my build were probably gonna be 16-32GB of ram and a GTX770 (or 780 if I can fit it in my budget)

Thanks in advance!

I am a student in computer forensics in my school. Our assignment this term was to perform an investigation, document our findings, and then testify in court. Well, I'm approaching the court testimony quickly and would be thrilled to hear about any advice that will prepare me for it, such as do's and don'ts and perhaps what I should expect during cross examination.

Sure, it's not a "real" trial, but I still want to perform the best that I possibly can.

Thanks!

I know that the Federal Rules of Evidence govern evidence in... well federal court. But what about a washington state court? Is there a "washington rules of evidence"?

Or are they the same thing?
