Contributing to society is not the problem. The problem is they contribute (read: Bribe) to elected officials in one way or another. Greed is all well and fine. What's not fine is rigging the system by buying politicians, getting laws passed or shot down, and otherwise gaming the system so that you may crush competition or take advantage of people. This is what's been going on since the early 80s and the government, instead of protecting the people, not only allows it to continue but refuses to enforce the laws that do exist to prevent this sort of thing.
And this is the reason I laugh at the people who blame Obama or blame the GOP or blame the Dems. ALL of them have been doing this to us for 30 years. Not one side or the other - ALL OF THEM.
Encrypt the contents of the device and password protect its access. Even if they pull all the data off the phone they can't do much with it if its encrypted.
You are dead on. The majority of people will say to an announcement like this: what does this mean to me. Diamond planet - cool, that's an interesting thought. wonder what it looks like. etc. It has no meaningful impact to our lives. Climate change, on the other hand, has a potentially large impact on our lives all the way down to the poorest person on the street. Carbon credits, government taxation, cap and trade, etc. It has a direct impact on how we live our lives. And by and large, people do not like change.
The first 4 or 5 are not stupid. None of what he/she says is stupid. They are all observations of the possibilities based on his observation of what Americans do and whet they complain about.
I will add that the vast majority of the US populace is too stupid and/or lazy to do anything beyond what the television tells them to do. They are too lazy to read. To stupid to analyze what they read. Too lazy to seek multiple sources and viewpoints for what they read. Too stupid to formulate their own opinions instead of using the opinions of those on TV. Further, they are also too stupid to learn what is taught in middle school about how the country works and they do not have an understanding of what they can do about their dissatisfaction with the government.
The A/C above is talking about using the methods we are empowered with by our laws to make changes we want. We are too stupid and too lazy to do so.
I love how you have to fork over 65% of the revenue to Amazon. I think that number should be flipped. The author is doing the heavy lifting here. Amazon is just providing the platform through which it sells. Hell, they don't even market the product. They just put it on their platform and everything else is automatic.
I should probably advise you not to use the word advise when you mean to use the word advice. Just my advice, I'd advise you to take it for what its worth.
He'll only have to pay this until he moves out of that state. They can't pursue you for this kind of penalty across state lines unless its for child support.
This response is misleading.
A network with 100 workstations could easily have dozens of L2L VPNs and attendant routing, access lists, and natting involved. I should know, i work in such an environment. 115 employed end users, maybe 800 federated end users, 37 servers, 7 routers, 2 offices with 2 firewalls in each, multiple internet connections, multiple point to point connections.
Honestly, the first thing you really need to do is study the network thats in place. What hardware is in place. Generally I lean toward Cisco because its solid, dependable, and has good tech support available. However Cisco is not a one size fits all pile of equipment. For instance, if you are working for an ISP then you probably want to go with Juniper. Clearly, you want to steer clear of the Small Business and SOHO lines of hardware like Linksys and Netgear.
Once you have a grasp of the layout, networking connections [i.e. connections within your building (LAN), from your building to the internet (DIA), from your building to other offices, if you have them (WAN), and from your business to other business (typically VPN, but can be others) then you will have a grasp of what technologies you're looking to learn.
Hitting something as broad as CCNA or other certifications doesn't get you up to speed as rapidly as possible on your environment. CCNA has a wide range of topics that you may eventually need to know by may never ever see. Focus on what your environment holds and learn those technologies. You may want to hire an outside consultant to assist you with this aspect if you have no clue as to how to go about such discovery. This should probably take less than a day for a knowledgeable networking consultant to discover, and some time more for him/her to parse.
Once you have this list, including the models of the hardware you have you should begin digging into those technologies. Top of that list needs to be IP addressing and subnetting, if you don't already know those. Follow this by routing - especially if you have an environment like mine that includes multiple routers. You need to have an understanding of IP addressing and subnetting to get your systems talking to each other. With that, DHCP and DNS are are essential server services, so you should probably learn about that right from the start.
THis just brushes the surface and doesn't include things like SSH, Telnet, L2L VPN, remote access VPN, and the various routing protocols. Not to mention certificate services, encryption standards, etc, etc.
I found that this book has a good overview of a lot of the technologies. Its pricy, but to me it was worth it just to get a very good grasp of how everything from LAN to WAN to Wireless fits together. http://www.amazon.com/Telecommunications-Data-Communications-Handbook-Horak/dp/0470396075/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1304626364&sr=8-1
Additionally, there is a veritable mother load of data available on the web. Cisco is really good about having detailed configuration manuals for their products that are publicly available.
Although Anonymous Coward wrote this comment, Mod up Insightful. This is clearly in the purview of the states and should not be forced on the populace from the federal level. If the Fed wants to gather revenue for the interstate system it should create toll booths on such.
Tell that to the manager that goes to upper management for additional funds to harden the network and is denied. I'm sure you'll say, oh he should just quit working for such an organization. You'll, of course, forget that he still has a mortgage and car to pay for and work is not as easy to come by as it once was.
You're supposed to be working. Not doing political stuff. While it's a dick move, I rather doubt it's a first amendment violation or the end of the world (as is suggested by TFA).
Mod up Insightful - this is the same comment I came here to make.
So you're saying that journalism is where the spin occurs? I agree.
Give people the source of the information and allow them to analyze it and come to their own conclusions.
So you buy a lot of pirated content then do ya? Perhaps you should consider the fact that you are stealing people's work before you take such a righteous tone.
Get over yourself. He was just stating the fact that if you can't use ANY service then there is no point in having said service.
Not if the people don't watch TV. I watch one show a week and its more because i want to spend time with my girlfriend than watch the show.
HMMM....... time to cancel all but basic cable, now that i think about it.
Yeah, because moving away from an area where you've already invested in talent saves money.... during a recession, no less. That's great business planning by people who clearly do not know the the costs of HR and the new hire process specifically.
How do you figure that traffic shaping is good when the ISP has no idea what the traffic is used for?
Case in point: I work for an IT shop that supports many physicians offices. one of the primary methods of moving data between offices and hospitals is through EMR applications that USE FTP. Who is the ISP to tell me that my FTP traffic is less important than Disney's HTTP traffic?
It is not the ISP's place to make these decisions. Period. End of Story.
Further, if they choose to make these decisions on "their network" then they should lose common carrier status. And while I admit I am not sure if they have this, they certainly cannot use it as a defence at all going forward since they are looking inside the packets and determining what they hold. They have just made themselves complicit in committing innumerable crimes ranging from spreading virii to transmitting child porn to terroism.

Just wondering...

#1 fail troll isn't failing because you are taking the bait.
#2 fail troll is an AC, so why bother responding at all?

its likely that the hack of northrop was the cause of the fed making that statement.

Exactly... and this is also exactly why such a thing as sanctions exist. If an entity abuses a court then they should be sanctioned as punishment.

I come to the conclusion that it will be about 722k after taxes, assuming the sales rate remains the same.

It is incumbent upon technologists to keep their knowledge fresh. Its his own fault for not recognizing the technology trends and pursuing them.

The government's bandwidth, paid for by we the people. Quit wastin gour tax dollars you thief.
