Then get out and jog / walk for an hour a day. When I take my lunch I go to the gym and exercise with my coworkers- It helps break up my day, allows me time to think, reduces my stress, and in the year since I've started I've gone from 250 to 180 (and now can run 5 miles in 45 minutes). Oh, and the ladies like it too...
Here in Boston. Take my advice- don't get sick next year. HIPAA is not simple, companies are starting off way too late, like our dear poster here, and I'm sure the very first thing that he will be filling out is the extention form. The HMO that I work for started last year with the privacy questionnaire to all 2500 employees asking what data they released and if it was the min. needed to get the job done. The fact that you are now just beinging scares the shit out of me, and let's face it, you're going to be closed down.
Well the only way I can see a MicroVax being on a table is if the table can withstand a direct hit from the deck guns, otherwise you have a very effeicent table flattener.
Where does the balance of the user's rights and the content creator's rights equal out?
Will you stand up right now and state that the foundation of fair use - which our education depends on vitially - will not be burried by the media creators.
Here's something to think about- maybe someone with a bit more time on their hands could tackle this problem and make a mint.
911 calls can not be blocked by the *67 code- your number will always show up, 800 numbers also always show the caller's number.
So what is it with the caller ID program on my cell phone, or the call ID box that my mother has that listens to the PRIVATE / BLOCKED code, and why can't it be reprogrammed to just show the caller's number always.
Simple solution for those who live in the USA: Get a cell phone and ditch your land line.
By law telemarketers can not call you on your cell phone. I've recieved one or two calls in the past, so it isn't 100%, but it's worth it.
As someone just pointed out, NT 4 was C2 if not connected to a network, but this does raise the question and point of configuration.
Everyone does not have the same machine, same CPU, memory, network, etc. etc. etc.
Is it truely possible to have a secure system with so many vars (and lest not we forgot about the keyboard sniffers dongles and other tools just to record what's being typed)?
I don't think so.
Go back to lesson from the book Cryptonomicon(sp?), you can only keep a secrete for so long before someone else figures it out.
I don't think that it is their job to go around and tell people that their network is open to the public.
On the other hand, maybe the builders of these items will start including some real default security in their products.
Or maybe people will wake up and start taking some responiblity for their actions! (yeah, right...)
Moreover, the CTEA's backers say, the question of whether the law is good policy is entirely different from whether its action is constitutional. When has it ever been illegal for Congress to pass bad laws?
Gotta love logic like that- you can't take this to court since it deals with Congress's ability to pass bad laws!
I caught Spirited Away this past Friday at the art house theater in Kendall Square. The 9:45PM showing was packed- no with your typical Miyazaki fans, art theater fans, but with regular movie goers. My first impression is that (1) the voices didn't make me wince, (2) everyone was spell bound. The audience laughed at the fun moments, stunded by the sheer beauty of the animation, and was transported for those 2 hours into the world of Chihiro. Thank you Mr. Miyazaki for making me believe in magic again.

Are the first two things I want to see this used on. Then I can see this used on car windows, computer monitors, and other glass surfaces.
I realize that Joe User wouldn't notice half the time, but when a document jumps in size you'd think they would wonder about that.
That and the fact that most people don't delete their old mail.
Since you already have a successful career, may I suggest that you study something that you like to learn more about rather than just go for a degree is CS?
Maybe take a bunch of liberal arts courses (music, theater, arts, theory, history, economics, political science, a foriegn language) and see if any of those agree with you.
I'll point to myself as an example: I write software for a HMO in Boston, but my undergrad degree is in Japanese Poltitical Science (my url above does read polsci after all). Why? Because I wanted to learn other things besides computers, and this gave me a well rounded education which helps me out with the ultimate goal: problem solving. My master degree will be in CS when I bother to finish it.
Okay, so you run a honking big image server. I could easily do the same, since my photography runs in 1000s of rolls. If you do the same as me, then the original negitives are stored in a fire proof vault somewhere and you work with the scanned images.
Now, allow me to ask, how often do you look at all those photos? Work with them? Sell them? Transmit them? If you don't do that all that often, why do you keep them all online / nearline?
Music? A Sony 400 Disc unit runs about the same price as the 320gb drive. Maybe less. My point is that how much stuff do you really need online?
This is what I'm dealing with now, since I just bought a high res film scanner...
We're going to need a Librarian from Snow Crash to manage all that data. Right now I have problems finding stuff that I have in my email box, with the search tools. I can only imagine that once my data collection goes beyond the current 200mb that I have, that finding what I need is going to become very interesting. Maybe Be's solution- the file system is a db would help...
At the bottom of his August 29th column, he talks about how much information is really his on the drive-
"I have on my main system every word I have written since 1992, which is around three million words. I also have every e-mail worth keeping, a couple databases, and many spreadsheets and Powerpoint presentations. Uncompressed, it adds up to less than 200 megabytes. Heck, that is small enough to fit on one of those USB flash drives that attaches to your key ring!"
Really, how much of that data is worth saving?
How much of that data can't be re-created?
If a fire broke out, what would you try to save? Me, outside of my photos (which the neg. are in a bank value) and camera(s), everything else I can re-create, and that which I can't, I have a USB flash drive.

This is bad, wrong, and just brain dead.
If the company can't keep it's information secure, why should I own any of that company's stock then?
Information crimes should be treated the same way as a real robbery (just we have a smarter crook to deal with).
This is on the same level has cooked books IMHO.
Okay, I'm game, but please don't expect me admitting to wanting to run around a dog show without pants on!

I have my jeans and I have my dress pants. I rather wear my dress pants- they are that much nicer and far more comfortable.
I've also noticed that people tend to pay more attention to what I'm saying when I'm dressed nicely than in my jeans and tee.
The only downside is that I spend a bit more time and money with care and cleaning of my dress clothes.
has finally figured out step 2 for the underwear gnomes:
1. Steal underwear
2. Get wacky Brittish Patent
3. Profit!

No, haven't heard a thing about this. Care to explain?

Open a pinball company.
Buy a personal train.
Buy Iceland.
Go into space - maybe even have a special trip for two (be one of the founding member of the orbit club...).
Buy Clear Channel.
Pay someone to teach Ms. Spears to sing.
Buy a few Congress Critters and a president, have them pass a law outlawing money in politics.
Sue all media companies for failing in the public trust (this could be interesting).
Give the money to the Endowment of the Arts, National Public Radio and National Public Television and tell them all to piss off everyone.

Hate to say this but,
(1) Your mother was right
(2) Chalk it up to an expesive learning experance.
