A criminal is someone that takes your stuff. It doesn't matter if you locked it down or not. They take it == crime. What kind of fucked up word is this now that if you don't lock it down enough, then it's free for all?? No wander companies are turning to DRM - your mindset is what is causing it.
PS. You can pick any lock with a drill. Enough said.
It actually does matter if you "lock it down or not." That is what Intellectual Property and rights are all about. For example, I can come up with a product or even just a name for something and even use it for a while. But if I don't actively protect it then I can actually lose the rights to it! Look into the FreeBSD Daemon art (original artist) for more info.
And in all honestly, it depends on the situation and the circumstance. For example, is it the fault of a random "bad person" who tried to break into my CRX Si and failed? Here are some more details:
* They didn't get in - they used a screw driver IN THE LOCKS instead of the cover plate than grants EZ access (obviously they didn't know WTF they were doing).
* I had left my wallet on the floor the passenger seat. Had that not been there, they would have not attempted to break into the car.
* The item of most value would be the stereo and its components, yet nothing had ever occurred on that street in the previous 10 years
And in the end, you know what my reaction was? "It was my fault, because I left the wallet in the car." Sometimes it's good to take personal responsibility.
On another occasion, someone stole my bike from 7-Eleven while I was playing Street Fight II. I was so upset! I just ran in for a quick game (only 25 cents on me). And when I looked back to check (in between rounds) I saw my bike missing. Was it my fault? Yes. Should I have had a chain to put on it? Yes. Should a random person have taken it? No. So from your mind set, I did nothing wrong, the person who took the bike is the only one to blame.
You can't guess the key to the lock as you can a password?*
If anything S.P. should be footing the bill for all the proceedings simply because she used such easy/obvious answers that it was inevitable to happen. It's like saying someone stole my Porsche Carrera when I left the windows down in front of my house. sure, they were down but I only ran in for a bit. That sort of negligence is inviting to 'criminals' (or joy riders!).
Here's another example: 2 kids playing with a loaded hand gun. Is owner of gun at fault when one kills the other? Sue the dad? No! Sue the gun company for allowing the gun to be shot by kids (enter the gun lock controls).
Even though I jest with serious subjects, you can't always blame the dog for jumping on the chair and eating your food. Sometimes you should just know better.
What if the client is behind a router/firewall with DHCP? Can you connect to them without them having to configure port forwarding? That seems to be a problem I run into.
Probably because he doesn't want to actually manage his computer.
I love Linux and run it at home, but I regularly have to tweak things or they simply don't work. Macs are a good middle-ground between functionality and ease-of-use.
In Arizona they're trying to pass a no walk/swim list law so they can question anyone who "looks like they could be in the country illegally." Poor native americans, they'll never know what hit them!
I watched a "Special" on 9/11 and they said one of the persons who were supposed to take part on the action was unable to board because of the list. No one knew what was going to happen at the time, but it was at least one instance in that it helped somewhat.
Another thing that could have helped was the "No Hookers List." If they had that report, they could have seen the Muslims who were racking up charges at strip joints. Would have been easy to catch!
"But the larger point here is that Schmidt isn't even addressing the issue at hand. Per usual. When the privacy question appears, Google likes to talk about the people asking the questions. But the problem lies elsewhere: with the millions upon millions blissfully unaware of the question(s)."
Google is trying to help people figure out the question to the ultimate answer 42!
But it's not always public by choice. On my Android device I scanned the local networks before moving into my new place. Wasn't worse than where I was leaving so it was ok.
Now that I settled in, I've found a few more here and there, depending where I'm at in the house. What is disconcerting though is that you can see almost everyone's network name just like that. It's the default set up by their provider. I doubt those clowns know what they're broadcasting.
While at first I would think there's no harm in this... of course someone will find a use for it to attack people... or try to take control of. From my point of view, I would walk around Pasadena for lunch and scan the networks. I found more than a few open networks, i'm sure it was intentional. But scanning is not so bad, I had no other motivation but seeing how many networks there were on my route. But other people? Maybe no so much...
This morning I heard "so who is really to blame? The creators of south park who write the offensive satire or those who are making the threats of possible violence and death? Well, obviously those making threats are wrong, but what about the creators?"
So lets see, at least in the United States of America we have the beleif of "Freedom of Speech" right? That means we can dissent when we feel especially strong about something.
So I figure, for anyone who says "the creators are wrong in their satire" just opens the door for "those hippies supporting marijuana" (Viva Marijuana was the sign I saw this morning on the way to work) to also be "censored."
Oh but that's totally different right? Lets move to 'scientology.' Why should they not be allowed to censor people? Political groups? Schools? Religions with abuse scandals? Where/when do we stop censoring?
The best and most straightforward argument I have heard regarding this is:
"South Park has made fun of Christians, Jews, people of different ethnicities and organizations. But none other than the Muslims have threatened violence before." That should tell us where the real problem lies.
From my point of view, when I first saw South Park I was offended (Jesus Christ Vs. Santa Claus). But as time passed and I gave it a chance... eventually viewing it when it came on Comedy Central I enjoyed it. As a matter of fact, I regularly recommend it to people when key issues come up. Such as their red cross/catholic scandal episode.
Finally, what happened with Issac Hayes was tragic but eye opening. He shows that "I can be part of something (great) that covers a lot of subjects - that consequently offend everyone at some point or other, as long as it doesn't offend me or my beliefs."
Less is more! Over at the jalop site someone asked "why do they insist on cover the engine when you already have a hood?"
If they wanted us to be able to do things for our selves, they wouldn't do that. Someone else asked "if the service for that vehicle is dealer only." Same thing with education right? Simple math means fewer people can handle more complicated jobs?
You can be told not to drop trash in your house... Lets say you OWN your own home right... you make it a nasty place, full of trash. You can be asked to clean it up. If it continues, you can get booted out of your property!
This is especially true if you live in: apartments, 'town house,' gated community, or those who live in home association areas.
The placed I used to work at had a no smoking policy on the premises right... so people took to smoking just off of building property. So they put up no smoking signs but that didn't stop them. Fortunately for everyone you had to walk by them and the cloud to get into the parking structure!
I think simply put: they're out of a lot of money if e-cigs catch on.
So tabacco cigs cause cancer...
Someone oh noes and ALA is born
e-cigs take over, no more cancer?
no more profit?!?! gotta lobby, ban e-cigs, but allow big tabacco to continue selling more dangerous product.
I don't smoke, but learned through a friend of e-cigs, which I then pushed on a heavy smoking co-worker. He uses, just battery runs out too quickly! I think its better than traditional cig. No more smoker smell lingering, no more smoke!
Just because you can't see something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. How many people have footage of meteorites hitting the earth and actually damaging property? But we do know they exist, as we have physical proof.
Just recently I saw a TV show for the first time that focused on that - finding meteorites. It was interesting but got boring after a few episodes (they had a marathon). But what blew me away was how much the value of a meteorite goes up when it actually hit something, anything - house, mail box, car, dog etc...
So, before anyone is so quick to dismiss anything, just take that into consideration... PS read my sig.
Yep I agree. One of the things that could help reduce the problems is have the gov't (yes, those bastards!) regulate the ATMs (yes thats a nightmare).
So here's my idea, because the companies won't do it themselves, require that all ATMs look the same: they all have a slanted FLAT front. If a card skimmer is placed on it you'll know right away. Make them all touch screen - no more buttons. Have all of their openings flush.
Sometimes I see ATMs and get confused with what goes where. I understand everyone wants their machine to stand out, but come on it looks like bad 80's scifi movies!
I wasn't going to reply to anything here but here's my take on it: "Schools don't want to find and push geniuses, they want kids to conform and be exactly like those next to them."
I couldn't even start to count how many times I've been told that things are to be done as they are done because that's how it is - regardless that a method I use is better. The sad part is that the "Technical" school I went to also had this attitude... and it wasn't until speaking frankly with other teachers in other "technologies" that they said the teachers who gave me problems didn't want to be out-shined. So of course they're going to shoot down ideas that could be better than their own.
But this also carries into the work place. Why do I have to have log a log of a log? 3 times the work and time for something that just isn't necessary. But because of how people are - and the majorities willingness to accept without questioning, things just don't (and can't) change.

She can't be prosecuted for that, that's why she quit! derrrrrrr

must hurry up and download the swf to preserve in "archive."
It was just another lie from the WH. More broken promises.
who would have modded this informative?
who would have modded that a troll?
why no one modded that last one?
Thanks will check it out!

We take "marinated" to mean more like soaked in, the "adobada" as a rub on the meat. Carne al pastor is an excellent example of this.
