  7. I think the monitor has this covered. on Euro Parliament Wants "Red Button" For Shutting Down Games · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Or to be an ISO 9001-complaint "video game maker" you have to code in some kind of red button? In Soviet Europe, the switch kills you.

    Simply the act of pushing your kid out of the way and commandeering the mouse to click said button pretty much takes care of the situation. From there, a little parenting and you are all set. Clicking on the button at that point seems a little silly. You could just close the application. In fact, the button always existed...it's part of the OS GUI API.

    I was stationed at Schofield Bks, Hawaii in the late 90's. There was a MARS site near Area X-Ray (ranges) that seemed to be in use. It's been about 10 years...but I imagine the mil hasn't given up on that stuff entirely.

    from past administrations' behaviour

    This again, eh? Tell me exactly WHAT Bill Clinton did to earn us a 9-11? In 1992, AQ attacked 2 hotels in Yemen, targeting US troops. What did Bill Clinton do to anger them? In 1993, AQ tried to blow up the WTC...again, what did Clinton do? He wasn't known as a war hawk or anything. How did his policies earn this? In 1994, AQ set off a bomb in Philippine Airlines Flight 434, killing one person. This was a test for a bomb attack on US planes, later. Again, under Clinton. How did he anger AQ? 1998, two US embassies (Kenya and Tanzania) were bombed. Then, the USS Cole in 2000. I'm sure this was because of Clinton's policies.

    Bush really hadn't done anything with foreign policy before 9-11.

    Is it possible that violence and war will always be simply be a fact of life? You can't always ascribe it as someones fault. Like your bullshit attempt to say the US just got what it deserved.

    Why not just say that anything NOT rated has a de-facto rating of "adults only" or something like that? That way, unrated MMO's really would be rated. Everyone's happy. Except Aussies who lose liberty every year.

  24. Re:actually, this works fairly well. on Could Fake Phishing Emails Help Fight Spam? · · Score: 1

    The first step in solving ANY problem is identifying it. So, let me ask you this:

    What percentage of your staff is susceptible to a phishing email?

    You don't know, right? How can you find out? A voluntary questionnaire?

    Unfortunately, a phake phishing scam is the only tool you have to gauge the problem. And, coincidentally, it can help IT get the point across to the staff.

    my school district did the same thing, and it works great.

    It's the best form of targeted training. Only those who fall for shit like this get a lesson, and follow-up fake scams had a MUCH lower success rate.
