How many yeas did it take you to get to where you are right now, without college education? Not questioning, or attacking you personally - just curious if you think a degree could have expedited this, by letting you get your foot in the door earlier and at a higher-level, etc.
You'll never catch me, you see! Nyah! Pew! Pew! Man, just about any other one of the inventions mentioned are more useful than this. I mean electronic glare blocking sunglass lenses, liquid waste elimination system or a glove with a laser pointer?!
It's a large sample, sure, but it isn't diverse. It consists entirely of "male health professionals", which means that something specific to the male health professionals could be skewing the results. They could be more or less prone to prostate cancer, based on their profession. This does not represent an average male.
For untrackable payments. There are online exchangers in countries like Ukraine that will anonymously exchange dollars-bitcoins-dollars, no questions asked (for a small fee). If you need to receive an untraceable payment from someone or siphon some money overseas - there is no better way to do it anonymously. So yes, for illegal transactions.
Last issue of 2600 had a very in-depth article on this subject.
That's arguable, especially on the roads with obstructed visibility or potential for children darting out... Speed limits are there to make sure that the driver is able to safely stop in time. Safety doesn't always mean safety of the driver in this contexts.
I fail to see superiority of a first-generation iPhone over first-generation Windows 7 Mobile phone (let's compare apples to apples here... pun intended). Neither had copy-paste. Regardless, saying that term "app store" is proprietary is ridiculous. Some other companies that are not evil have allowed their trademarked company name to become a verb in the dictionary, you know...
I'm waiting for Sony Ericsson to claim ownership of the term "smartphone"...
Now that computers are totally pervasive, maybe it's time to set some standards and get the various branches of IT work (development, network admin, systems admin, etc.) recognized as professions. At least there would be some kind of code of conduct and minimum education standard so employers would be sure of what they're getting.
And perhaps get the management to understand information security best practices (like job rotation and separation of duties), so they stop crucifying IT staff for trying to enforce them and then blaming the same IT staff when failure to enforce those practices leads to something like this. Also, overtime pay.
Or, you know, this could all just be coincidental. Statistics are great when you need to use them to your advantage, but can really mean squat if the sample size is not large and diverse enough.
Anyhow, if that is true, I don't know what I would rather die from - butt cancer or heartburn after drinking 6 cups of coffee a day:)
Agreed on the VM comment, also RDP sessions are pretty tedious when not run in full-screen mode (keyboard shortcuts like Win+R launch on the host, etc). I usually use my second monitor for VM/RDP or small applications that I need to be "always on top", without occupying my screen space (IM, software phone/Skype, Nagios, etc). Some of my coworkers use their secondary widescreen LCD's in portrait mode for spreadsheet editing, to fit more rows.
I'm grateful they give the customer the chance to evaluate their own security risks and choose between security and function.
Disabling the features by default, does not take away the customer's ability to evaluate their own security risks and enable what they need. Enabling everything by default is a bad practice, it puts all but the most experienced customers in harm's way. Ever heard of a security concept called 'implicit deny'?
Bandwidth caps are just one more reason to secure your WiFi so that you don't end up paying for your neighbors torrents on top of having to deal with copyright trolls.
I will respectfully disagree. JUNOS is the biggest step back from Netscreen (at least in the firewall family - it takes on average 4 lines of JUNOS configuration for every Netscreen/IOS configuration line), it's very powerful - it ought to be, since they took their metro-grade OS and stuffed it into enterprise equipment, but it also is metro-bloated.
In addition to that Juniper has not yet invented active-active multi-device multilink trunking (think Nortel SMLT, Cisco VPC, Brocade MCT) and their price makes me think that they imagine themselves to be Cisco. Their only factual benefit IMHO: they have an LCD screen:)
Now, don't get me wrong, I am a huge fan of Juniper firewalls, even the JUNOS/SRX series, but they are honestly not even close to be mature enough in the enterprise switching space. Give them 5 more years.

And Mr & Mrs Smith :)
It should say 25% of known hackers, which would be a more believable/accurate statement.
Besides the fact that it looks very uncomfortable... I would like to see her jump into the ocean wearing one of those.

Make entire police force and US army to get their teeth pulled and wear dentures in a bid to reduce fatalities! :)
I was just thinking the same thing! :)
So this is what they hacked RSA for! I was waiting to find out who the end-target was... makes sense.

The little jaspers metabolize caffeine into carbon dioxide and ammonia.
That could explain it.
Now, why does someone need Bitcoins?

It got nearly 3 hundred comments in a matter of hours. I'd say 'mission accomplished' for /.

Luckily guys had a solution all along.
lol. Someone mod this one "Funny"!
