They don't control the advertising. The ad company just pays them to host the ads.

I'm sure you'll steal the article, change the title to "A Three Pronged Attack to Increase ubuntu Performance, and post it in your blog.

noatime:fsutil behavior set disablelastaccess 1"getting rid of atime info is an idiotic move as security goes."lastaccesstime does not have ANY impact on security - (at least on NT, where only the timestamp is stored, and not user SID, and there is a SetFileTime API to set all file timestamps, including last access), you'd want to use audit (that Linux does not have by default?) for that

if he's got root and can manipulate sys time and mtimes, he can also disable atimes (mount -o remount,noatime anyone). Or write a cronjob that'll just hose down the whole system's access times every couple of hours, depending on his goals... Something like 'find / -type f -exec tail -n1 ...". So atimes are brittle and unreliable as forensic information, in dealing with "any blackhat worth his salt"
