Then the entire worlds civilian airline structure falls to shambles. Pretty much every big plane does use GPS now, just as a side tool. Whatever regulations the US makes, all planes flying into and out of the US have to have. In that way, this tech will eventually start working around the world.
Or, Google keeps a Chinese language site, without any filtering. Let them look like asses for blocking it with their firewall that for some reason, they keep denying exists. Even keep the country code domain, until they force you to leave. That sounds like one hell of a trade dispute with a country that NEEDS a "favored nation" status with us. I still don't understand why google doesn't just remove themselves from the country, but still have a presence easily reached by Chinese citizens. (kind of like gambling sites, that are illegal for US citizens, which is against treaties, and we got a multi-billion judgement against us for)
Or, to be nicer, build a list of apps needed for the employees to do their jobs. Then, create a white list based on that, and their groups. You can deploy these with group policy, if you have it. The whole mentality of it being "their computer" really needs to go.
Then, you have a list of apps to ensure are updated all the time. If its not on the list, it isn't allowed to run. Yes, its restrictive. That's the point. You upgrade an app for a critical security problem? Wait a week, then remove the old version from the whitelist. If they don't get updated, then they don't run.
Did you not hear about the amendment that Al Franken proposed a few months ago? After the big public relations nightmare that happened, he introduced a bill to not allow contracts with companies that force employees into arbitration, giving up their rights to the courts in case of Rape. A whole bunch of the Minority party was against it.
How? Seriously, how the hell would they enforce it? Companies use caller ID spoofing all the time! Look when an agent at your bank calls you from their call center. Does their phone number show up? Nope, its the 800 number, that you can call back the company on. Isn't that the same as spoofing? I mean, technically, its the exact same steps in the PBX to do it maliciously or not.
Then, you might have one call center in one region have a nice fat pipe coming in from ATT, a second call center handled by Verizon, but your 800 number is handled by sprint over in California. So how would ATT or verizon enforce the "spoofing rule" without having any knowledge or control over your 800 number?
I find it funny that the argument seems to be that we either help them not come here, or we make it easy for them to work in the US.
That seems to be the two sides of the debate. I gotta say, someone has done an awesome job changing the debate..
No where have I heard anyone say "Lets fine/arrest/throw in jail the people that Knowingly hire people that they are not allowed to."
I have yet to see a farmer get fined/jail, whatever, for firing his workers, and then hiring undocumented workers. I have yet to see an executive at a manufacturing company get fined/jailed, etc, for encouraging HR to not bother with all that silly paperwork during hiring....
No, I'm not saying we should blame the employers when they have faked credentials, but I have lived in areas where they went out of their way to hire people that would work hard, and not complain about things like labor laws, and not having to pay unemployment insurance, social security, etc for them.
If you have dimmers, then CFL's are a no go. The "dimmable" CFL's go from about 80% - 100%, which sucks. LED's are wonderful in a dimmer. I've tested one, and loved it, but it was $120 for one that fit in my recessed can light, and I have about 12 of those recessed can lights in my house. I'll have to wait till they really drop in price!
Basically a huge walled garden which is only available to those inside the wall. The trick of course, is to make it nice so that people can bring in their data easily and fb's success is because they make it damn convenient to put your data in there.
You know, they just opened up their chat over Jabber, right? I just added another account in Empathy, (you can do it in any chat client that support Jabber, like Pidgin, and many, many others) and now my friends keep messaging me when I'm asleep, wondering why I'm still online.
I actually like it, I can chat with friends on the site, without having to be on the site.
I agree with you, but as an IT guy, I would argue that Quickbooks is one of the worst pieces of crap. Sure, it looks nice, and has lots of features, but when you work in accounting, and dozens of copies, and have to keep track of the licenses, (along with phone numbers and zip codes and such for ordering, and the original purchasers name, which sucks when people leave) then it quickly becomes one of the most hated programs...
Mr. Bradley... won approval for an amendment stressing that Germans and Italians were interned in the United States as well as the Japanese during World War II, to counter the idea that the internment of Japanese was motivated by racism.
I know this isn't the place to raise this, and that I'm preaching to the choir, but German PoW's were stationed in southern Oregon, about 2 hours from Lakeview, CA, where the Japanse were interred. (strangely enough, neither was too far from the only American deaths from the Japanese Balloon bombs.) One was built like a prison, and the other group, they got to go out onto the local farms, and help the farmers harvest crops. They even convinced my grandpa to try smoking once, and would thank him when he would sneak them some liqour, and play baseball with him and the neighbor kids.. Guess which one is which..
No, my point was that the FBI gets involved because people get killed in bank robberies.. Stealing from a small business, over the internet, doesn't involve hostage negotiators, swat teams, high speed chases, etc.
I don't think the FBI cares as much about the financial part of it, as they are the collateral damage.
I wonder how many hostages have been injured/shot in a cyber stickup gone bad?
Perhaps that might explain their focusing more on physical bank robberies? I mean cmon.. the banks have insurance to cover the actual money lost, don't they?
You should look into the Hulu Desktop, in their labs section. It is designed to run when connected to a TV, and can work with most computer remotes.. Its very minimalist, and quite nice. I run the Linux 64-bit.deb (they have RPM's too) right off the site, and it works actually much better than using Firefox or Chrome on my Ubuntu 64bit laptop.
A co-worker was an ER nurse.. She would tell me stories of people that insisted that they revive grandma, even though she had signed DNR letters. If there is any question or argument, their legal team says to always revive.. So they would get someone that wanted grandma revived, which the process of CPR would usually break ribs, and lots of other bad stuff to a frail 80 year old.. She got really frustrated trying to explain that yes, they could revive her, but she was going to die in the next week or possibly 2, and that she was going to need so much pain medicine that she wouldn't be able to talk to them anyways...
So if the government is a bunch of incompetent, inefficient morons who can never be as good as private industry, then why the hell do you care if they give people the OPTION of choosing a government plan?
It should be obvious to you and your "its cool/trendy/rebelious to be libertarian**" buddies that the government plan will not have anyone sign up for it, and will flop. The Private plans will be cheaper, cover more people, and be fast to respond to needs of their wonderful customers!
Right? So where is the objection?
**I have been a registered Libertarian for 16 years.. I would love if anyone that lately claims to be a libertarian cause they got tired of being republican could actually state where the party stands on many issues.. And I'm getting tired of all the anger, lies, and misdirection lately.. Politics is just getting nasty...
You are right! The president of the united states actually writes all these rules and bills. Unlike every president before him, that relied on advisers and people with intimate knowledge of subjects, this president does everything himself. Hell, this president even goes one step further, and skips the whole legislative branch of government, and writes, votes, and enacts legislation and policies on his own!
Seriously, your a trolling idiot.
Take a basic civics class. Please. I beg you! Or at least do everyone a favor, and stop voting.. (but don't worry, you can keep tea-bagging)
Thats all well and good, but until you can convince the JURY that CSI is not how things happen in real life, then your screwed. As long as they believe DNA can be gotten in 10 min, and uniquely identify you, then it will be used that way to get convictions.
Or even easier..When your site is setup to limit how many tickets can be bought per session or person, change it to limit how many tickets can be bought per credit card. You really don't think these guys had 5,000 credit cards to buy 20,000 tickets at a time, do you?
Seems it would have been trivial to block by ticketmaster, if they ever cared.

If i'm not mistaken, the newest version of UbuntTweak has this ability.

Just an FYI

Were moving 6000 machines to forefront antivirus, which shares the exact same AV engine as Security essentials.
It has more stuff for enterprise updates and deployments and reporting, but it is soo much faster and lighter than others we have looked at.

Thats not a fair comparison, in many of the poor areas that were mentioned above (afganastan, mongolia, etc) you are much less likely to get shot.
And in 15 years, nuclear fusion will still somehow be 15 years in the future...

Right, but from what I hear, apple actually has an awesome solution to deal with this problem: http://www.apple.com/server/storage/
Their raid systems are supposedly cheaper than most others.. and work very well from what I have heard from people using them.

Oh, wait..
US Military exploded onto the front page of tech news sites today...
damn..
the US millitary didn't ask, and won't tell what its facebook policies are...
wow.. its just too easy...
