How did this make NEWS??? Sure we're all happy MicroGarbage finally is catching up to browsers like Opera and FF. If only they would have implemented this about 10 years ago when other browsers did. Talk about a johnny-come-lately. Microsoft sucks beyond words.
They are right...those who say that they have nothing to hide. There is privacy, data security and physical security. Data security is keeping data safe that could be used maliciously. And then there is privacy that is personal info about habits and the character of a person.
I believe in secure data and physical security of a building, parking lot, safety deposit box, etc, but I don't believe in privacy. If you are a celebrity, you better be willing to blow off the intrusions because you KNOW people are going to intrude. People can be downright rude, mean and nasty.( they can also be good, but honestly the vast majority of us are somewhere in between and somewhat unpredictable at times)
If you're running for mayor and you have trouble paying your power bill there's no way in hell I'd vote for you. So yes, that could have swayed a number of votes. In this case it was both a privacy and a data security breach to a point. It wasn't an actual breach of data but a violation of ethics in using data that the employee had access to in a malicious way. I do NOT support that kind of ethics violating behavior and the employee should be fired or at least disciplined harshly. But on the other hand the person running for mayor should have had the good sense to pay his bills on-time. Shouldn't our leaders be held to a higher standard?
Hopefully now after reading this story we will do a couple things. 1. Not put ourselves in a situation to get fired by using secure data in an illegal way. 2. Not steal, cheat, or lie period at anything. At one point in my life I felt it was alright to lie to get my way in minor areas of my life. Gradually I've eliminated lying altogether because I realized that lying was getting the better of me and I was lying more and more about things to cover up my laziness. It's better to tell the truth no matter the harshness of the reality. Humans use lying to achieve lazy goals that they don't sometimes consciously think about. And they also tend to over exaggerate at times as well. Which is another form of lying. If we have done our best we should never think it's the right thing to do or to even consider lying in order to make another person happy.
That's all i have to say. Thanks for reading. Now go and do the right thing.
It is usually more management/business/technology oriented while computer science is learning the details and methodology of programming and making a machine do what you want it to do.
If you're more people oriented and don't enjoy sitting in front of a computer 24/7 you should try IT.
Or if you're more fascinated with the working parts, the micro and minute detail of computers i'd go with computer science.
They overlap each other in many areas, just remember IT is more business and people oriented, while computer science isn't as much per se
I believe everything is possible with microsoft. First, they are a large corporation and large corporations lose any and all ability to respond because they are big, have no heart, and have about 3000 goals, the lowest on the totem being actually making their product better. They do however manage EVERY time they come out with a newer release to make everyones computer slower, make every user pissed off cause everything on it only works 85% of the time.
They wont ever learn because updates only affect 3% of the users, yet everyone gets it just in case. What really needs to happen is a longer beta period and to switch to something that works everytime. Please just give me something that works! What a novelty!
This is why LARGE companies suck. Who's paying these idiots that even suggest an "internal equipment audit"? Next you'll have audits of your surfing habits, your email, your number of keyboard strokes, etc. A company that thinks that they are saving money by doing an equipment audit has little or no business being in business because you're dealing with morons who think auditing is cheaper than actually buying a second monitor for people who can get more done with one. My suggestion is get a job at a company that doesn't do internal equipment audits, requires you to use your own gear and to listen to the guy who says buying a monitor is dirt cheap compared to the persons salary sitting behind it. And please go so far as to tell your boss that if he's too cheap to buy you a second monitor that he doesn't deserve to employ a talented individual such as yourself. END.
-How much does an "auditor" get paid these days? -Who audits the auditor? -Again, why hire an expensive auditor rather than just buy what you need to get the job done.

if the effect is ramdom and enough votes lost, statistics say it's not likely to make much difference in the outcome of the election.
