It would be interesting to see if those 17 average out to specific channels, or categories of channels. i.e. Sports Broadcasts.
Honestly, I'd be a cord cutter and I know a lot of other people who would as well, if there were *reliable* alternate way to get the sporting events I want to watch. Baseball, Hockey, Soccer, Auto Racing, just to name a few that you can't really get outside of a cable subscription. Football *could* be piled in there as well, mostly because there are relatively few games on the broadcast channels on any given weekend for a given region. However, NFL is probably the *most* available of any sport.
I never watch anything else that can't be reliably streamed from Netflix, Prime, Hulu, etc. But I have to pay for all of it to get the sports. ):
At some point, people are going to have to get pissed off enough to take the risk on a new candidate. "Look, I know I might suck sometimes, but look at the alternative! You have no idea what that person will do, at least you know me!" FUD at it's finest is what keeps our congress ineffective.
They didn't get anything onto the card readers from all that's been published publicly so far. Most card readers these days will encrypt the pin *before* sending the data to the terminal. Thus, only getting encrypted pins.
Given that the terminals run windows, it's not that difficult to get some malware to spread to them from a central source. Could still be an inside job for sure, but none of the details published yet can confirm that for fact.
If you own a Kindle you should be backing your stuff up anyway. Calibre is a good companion for not only backing up purchased content, but adding new content not purchased through Amazon.
Common sense says this isn't something that *any* PR department wants, it would be a huge blow to whatever company did it, and the whole model in general.
There's a pretty simple solution to meet the primary goal in the summary and the article, "Knowing where your assets are to get the right ones responding in an emergency". Simply don't log the data. You use it to show where an officer is, but you don't log all their activity.
"If they don't like it, there are plenty of other jobs out there". There's always that risk I suppose. It's hard enough to get good people to go into law enforcement. Let's make it even less appealing.
It's not terribly popular these days but was at one time, and it's still used in a lot of enterprise production environments these days. It was Sun's premier "Application Server" when it came to hosting products like their Portal software, Java CAPS, Access Manager, Identity Management tools, and various other JEE-level applications. It has enterprise level features like clustering, centralized management and deployment, etc. all built into the product. (Has had them for many years, though now you can get similar functionality in things like Tomcat) It was essentially Sun's version of JBOSS, WebLogic, or WebSphere.
It's no surprise that Oracle is drop kicking it though, it's very much a cheap competitor to WebLogic/Oracle Application Server.
This was one of the last, if not the last, planetariums in Colorado that still had the classic projector that was this huge awesome piece of machinery that rose from the floor like a magical thing. I loved these as a kid, and it was the coolest thing to get to see it in action a few years ago on a field trip with my kids. They were just as much in awe of it as I was at that age, and every time we pass it these days, they recall how cool it was.
It seems all planetariums are going to the "IMAX" format, and frankly, it sucks. The Denver Planetarium is absolutely lame now, they don't have any good presentations, half the time everything is on auto-pilot and there's no real person there. I don't expect it to be around for very long actually, since it competes with the IMAX theater in the same building, but seats far fewer people.
I'm just glad my kids got to see Fiske once before it was replaced with "better" technology that's much less impressive in it's physical effect on visitors. Going forward, the only thing kids are going to see different with "planetarium" vs. "movie theater" is that the planetarium has a domed screen, and this one happens to have a disco ball in the middle of it.
Not the best way to look at that, given that you're on the hook for any money spent through that card. Sure, there's "protection" there if someone else spends money through your card, or the system is compromised, etc. But the hassle is nearly all yours for straightening such a mess out.
You have a right to free speech, but you are not free of any and all consequences of said speech. FTFA, the hospital seems to have valid concerns, that can only be addressed by digging deeper. Digging deeper involves finding out names of people trying to be anonymous on the internet. There are laws that will protect hospital employees if they haven't done something illegal like give out patient information, or haven't been posting blatant lies about their employer. If they have been honest in their "free speech", then they have protection, and shouldn't be afraid of suddenly not being anonymous.
Free Speech is raw, and out in the open. Everyone is free to use it, but everyone has to realize that there are still things they can say that get them in trouble, even if they have the right to say it.
MMO's don't cause people to buy fewer games. Better games cause people to pass on lame games. WoW is thrown around as "the" example of something causing the industry headache. It's a good game but if another game came out and was better people would buy it regardless if it was MMO, RPG, FPS, or something new.
They already made their money. They used their size to ream the pockets of thousands of people for way more than they ever would have made, even if the users HAD been paying for service. They've nearly completed the rollout of their latest SmartCard, which has no public hacks available for it, and have all but eliminated the old streams, leaving no hacking left to do at this point for the average joe. They have absolutely nothing to lose by pulling this PR stunt, because they're DONE. Game Over. Dave Wins.
Please bare in mind that the scope of the lawsuit is confined to breach of contract with IBM, not against the entire community. The fact that the community has missed this point and taken that lawsuit as having a much broader scope than it does is unfortunate.
Erm....so that limited scope is why they're sending stuff to fortune 500 companies demanding licensing fees for code they SAY is in the Linux Kernel? SCO has contributed to making this much bigger just as much, or maybe evn more than, the OSS Community.
I have no sympathy for SCO as a company. I do have sympathy for the folks like you though, who are doing what you love, but end up getting smacked with the anti-SCO stick. Good luck.
Yeah, this makes sense. So why can't they draft the damn thing to be SPECIFIC to this sort of instance? Government is very fond of being very broad in it's definitions.
What Qwest clearly fails to comprehend is that, by choosing the tools they did, which have a known history of virus vulnerability, they are responsible for the reprocussions.
Umm....Cisco has a long history of virus vulnerability? Please Explain. Because IIRC, it was a Cisco Bug that caused the Cisco router to crash/hang when Code Red hit the Management interface that Cisco has on port 80. And I was unaware of Cisco having a "known history of virus vulnerability".
Holy Cow. I can't believe that NOT ONE of the posts on this headline deal with ANY of the Social ramifications or the moral issues involved with cloning. You can not have a discussion and say it's right or wrong without covering ALL Aspects of Cloning.
Of note would be the fact that people would suddenly find themselve face to face with something that looks like them, acts like them, thinks like them, but was Made or Manufactured by someone else. There could be a tendancy to treat it as property, not a human being.
What about the fact that as of now, EVERY single person in this world is unique. Totally and completely. What happens if I were a someone who cloned myself to have a child. I did a crappy job of raising that child, and he started to commit crimes and so forth. Guess what. He is Me. How do I prove it wasn't myself that did it, and it was the other me instead? (Yes, there are holes in that example, but don't miss the point.)
Personally, I'm on the side of NOT cloning. I'm a bit religious, and find it immoral at a minimum. I can see the point for organs and such, but there really should be a line. Personally, I think the line was crossed with Dolly. But hey, that's just my opinion.
Since Taco brought it up on this thread, what's the best way to do this? Lucent makes a device that has AAA using Radius and individual accounts. Is this the way to go? Or is there some sort of standard available for authentication/encryption on the market yet?

I have no mod points, or I'd mod this up. Excellent response.

I'm not sure I'd qualify that guy as a "peer" to review...

I can think of a couple of reasons to not go direct in this case:
1) It's possibly more expensive to advertise on CNN or NYT.
2) There's no inherent ability to "share" or "like" an ad. (yes, people do it)
Facebook adds value not only for the targeting, but for the "social" nature of it's platform.

It will be Level 3 equipment/network instead of AT&T for this deal.

Don't go to KU. Several things influence decisions on what schools to go to, this one would rank very highly on my list of reasons NOT to attend KU.

But you agree to the license by using the software, or opening the package, or looking at the product crosswise....
