I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see major cloud networks (along with gaming servers) outsourced to foreign countries. Similar to TPB whenever they get shut down or raided.
IANAL, but I do recall something from some of my early CJ classes. If you have a warrant to search a house for a marijuana grow operation, and find illegal weapons, an additional warrant must be acquired to confiscate said weapons. There is a catch though. The weapons can (and will) be confiscated at that immediate time, you will be charged immediately, and the police then have 48 hours to obtain a warrant for the weapons found.
The above instance is when fulfilling a search based on a warrant. The below is more plain sight.
If a police officer who knocks on your door because his car died, radio fried, has no cell phone, and wants to use your phone sees a weapons cache, marijuana plant, and child pornography... no warrant has to be obtained because it was pure luck that you were caught doing something illegal. (end run-on sentence) If all of these things were in your closet, and he went-a-snoopin'... illegal search and seizure.
Anyone have a family? Kids? As an undercover police officer, FBI, or whatever you want to be, you have fake ID's, SS#, everything necessary to cover your identity. Now your picture is online, pointing out your job, your house, and everything else. Now your kids are dead, your wife raped, beaten, and eventually killed.
This woman did nothing wrong... keep your tinfoil hats on please.
What about that sheer gratification of the look on their face when they get busted and/or prosecuted. Who wants to fly 9,000 miles for that?
Get inhouse staff. In a small startup, they should not have to be there every single day (cut costs), and should be able to set themselves up to operate remotely in the event of a quick fix on off days. Sure you'll have to pay them per diem, but they become internal employees governed by contracts that you, the company, have outlined explicitly.
Until endorsed (and enforced) by the government, I will have a nice piece of tinfoil taped over the camera. The whole neighborhood is welcome to watch PPV pr0n from my one ticket.
Just make sure to place it under a phone book or in a towel. The object takes the abrasive edge of the hammer, while the chip still takes the force of the blow.
Haven't all you hoodlums ever heard of police using the phone book? Same idea.
A teacher at my old high school, who coincidentally was around when my mom was in school, albeit a bit younger, had a couple ways to solve things.
1. I know how to hit you so it doesn't leave bruises, and I know where all the cameras are in this school. When it is my word against yours, you lose.
2. Sue me. I lease a car, rent a home, and all my kids are done with college.
Of all the teachers in my school, he caught the least amount of grief, because he made everybody aware that he was not going to drop his principles for anyone. Seemed to work alright.
Justify $150,000 per song.
In a situation where nobody stood to gain anything financially (or morally for those of you who like that stuff), money is a non issue.
Chances are, he didn't even realize he was giving his music away like that, as 100% of p2p programs set their software to upload full throttle immediately.
The question for me, is where $150,000 per song is justified as a punishment. Some kids can't even climb out from under their student loans, let along 4.5m in damages. In the case (raging on as I type this) Sony BMG says "on stand: general counsel of sony music on stand. says timberlake would be nothing without them. #jfb" (Twitter). Timberlake is estimated to be worth over 350m (google), how much could Mr. Tenenbaum really have screwed the artist out of?
Perhaps I am one of the few people in the world without a FaceBook, MySpace, Twitter, Digg, or any other social networking site in my pocket, with my fingers just itching to tell the world all about me.
My question is: "Who cares?" Twitter especially... I don't care what you are doing at this very moment. If it were worth me hearing about, I have a perfectly good AIM/MSN/Email/Phone. Give me a call, tell me about it. Everyone is concerned about "big brother," and then willingly contribute their "tweets" for the world.
Whatever happened to actually interacting with friends, and not "tweeting that you are tweeting?"
I would just like to point out that this is barring the great job it is doing for Iranians in their political push... THAT is good.
No waiver is ever signed that permits the physical abuse of a child. It is a paid service, not a penitentiary. The fat kids, or for the sake of staying on topic: internet addicted kids, are treated with as much respect as they show.
These programs aren't the brutal prison scenes many may imagine.
In the end, even if a kid doesn't lose one pound at fat (boot)camp, hopefully he can come away with the discipline to "just say no" to that Krispy Kreme.
Again, your IP address (or mine anyway) is to the network endpoint that the ISP is not responsible for afterward. In this case, it will identify your network.
I believe it is said that "Ownership is 9/10 of the law." In this case, a computer with your billing information, or an IP address for that matter, ties it (indirectly) to you. If my neighbor is on my computer at home, viewing kiddie porn, someone is going to be held liable.
If I fail to remember that my neighbor had used my computer that week/day/whatever, you bet your ass I am going to jail.
While a warrant would (and should) not be needed to collect IP addresses, the warrant should be needed to connect them to billing information, and therefore individuals.
It is ironic that the GG is criticizing it for not having subcontractors yet. What about all the Contractors in other governmental budgets? Our budget should be fairly transparent, considering I know I pay taxes, am a legal resident/citizen, and live in one of the most tax-heavy states...
This is a good step in the right direction, now we just need to see this trend spread to other areas.
The issue brought up that some folks may get hurt over the service is valid, but that is the fault of the person chasing the offender.
Why not have it endorsed by law enforcement? You go to the police, say my $400 (and to some $600) phone was stolen. Maybe a lawyer can verify this, but I recall the grand theft charge being lowered to something around there.
The issue would be getting the police to believe that the little blue dot is a real blue dot, with someone's real stolen phone at that location.
As a country who endorses free trade and capitalism (United States), there is still an embargo on Cuba due to their political system and economic beliefs.
Any government has the authority to stop any and all business with a country. Companies will strive for global market superiority. These companies have just gotten great publicity in any market looking for censoring technology. Most people wont care, as long as they turn their blind eye and say "it doesn't affect me."
Luckily for us, the IT department mandates these sorts of things. There is a reason we lock CEO's and CFO's and all them folks out of certain files. Why should this be any different for browsers?
There are some of the stubborn ones who dig into their windows folders and find IE to use, and that is OK, provided they update accordingly. We just make FF available on their desktop, with no sign of IE. It's not tyranny... just a bit of a stiff nudge.

I wish I could mod you up. +Funny.
The person I should call when my dinner is interrupted by another call? I bet their voicemail is slashdotted the first day.
This just seems like a slap in the face to both the Iliad and the Odyssey.
Or, much like those two epic poems, it is just a reflection of society; This makes me sad.

I hope this clarifies for most.

Does this mean we get to see Jolie's boobs again?
Agree.
Use a database, and LANSweeper.
100% agree.

It is disheartening to feel as though the OP described my physical makeup...

This reminds me of all the really awesome parts of the Zelda series. I particularly liked Ocarina of Time for just that reason.
I could play that game for hours and hours and still find new ways to do things.
I can see use for this in elevators... when you really have to use the bathroom. Finally a button that can sense urgency!

Some departments don't even have Active Directory yet. I would expect those are the ones which are being referred to.
