Other then 'Martha Stewart' has several lines of products spread over multiple categories which are sold across the nation (perhaps elsewhere, I do not know, as I really do not give a hoot). Sarah Palin produces noting other then sounds bites many of which are cringe inducing.
Given a 150+ post and no one has mentioned Arbor Networks, a company that primary purpose for being is preventing DDoS seems somewhat odd to me. Perhaps they need to get their PR folks working a bit harder.....
Back when I was in the Crops, we also had 30 days per year. But if I were to take time off that including a weekend I was docked 'off days' for those weekend days as well as the weekdays, making the value of 30 days less then what it would seem to most people. On the bright side I was deemed mission critical and the vast majority of my leave request were denied. Once I got over 60 days, they started dumping my 'excess' leave time. Fortunately I was able to get the time restored by showing that I had requested leave that was not granted. This allowed for a longer period of time for terminal leave...
Although, assuming that one does want to edit at some time in the future, having the output in a text file vice a pile of loose leaf pages, is a step in the right direction.
To the best of my knowledge all life on earth (at least all life that has been investigated at the DNA/RNA level) seems to have considerable similarities, which implies a relationship, perhaps a common origin point.
I wonder. Will this life, which on the surface seems to be fairly different from most of what we know/understand as life will also have such similarities with life as we know it?
If it does, it seems to show a remarkable level of flexibility, beyond what many may have imagined. If not, that may even be more exciting as it may provide support for the idea that the creation of life may not be an exceedingly rare event.
Not that I am a big fan of getting rid of a bunch of content because of seemingly arbitrary rules, but from the sounds of it many of this 'apps' are nothing more then a image (or a few images) of a girl/boy/goat in a bikini. It seems like a bit of a stretch to refer to those who create such content as developers.
Seriously, right now we are spending record peacetime levels on defense...
Peacetime??? We have admitted wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. This does not count the military efforts in Pakistan and Yeman. This is far from any definition of Peacetime.
Unfortunately it seems that a vast amount of our military spending is for equipment not well suited for the types of demands that we have placed upon or military.
I have spent over a dozen years working on various federal government systems. I have seen things that would make your head spin.
But I see no evidence that if contractors were phased of of the Missouri IT systems that things would necessarily get better. Sure the author mentions the grade of 'A' from Governing Magazine, but this is not a heavy hitting name in the IT world, I would not be surprised if a good part of this 'A' grade is because the state has been aggressive with outsourcing of IT.
Outsourcing it s not an excuse for management to not be involved in these process. It does not matter if work is being done by employees or contractors, it must be managed, a failure to do so will lead to bad situations. What we have here appears to be an inability to manage, changing the color of the badges for those doing the work is not likely to resolve this.
Corporate / Government security operations centers do not want everything to be encrypted, because it makes it much harder to determine when someone/something is doing something that you do not want them to do.
I will guess by your user id that you where in junior high then, or are old and senile and forgot the password to your old account. Either way the story goes that everyone needs many address they do not exist so we will all change over to IPV6 by Thursday. Hint the research is done by people who have a vested interest in selling gear or by grad students who have never worked anywhere.
When you have read the next three such articles and the country is suffering through the nightmare of a Palin presidency you will become cynical as well...
"Secretary Napolitano says she might not need all 1,000, which to me says she is really looking for 3-5 people. And frankly that ought to be enough if they are truly experts and are both properly led and supported" Cringely is insane (or very misinformed) if he thinks that 5 really good people will be able to make a dent in the role that will be required of DHS as they attempt to secure there own network. When the DHS takes on the task of guarding all government networks.
And yes there are over 1000 experts. I know 5 myself, plus another 100+ who make there living doing InfoSec work. This is not to say that the DHS will have an easy time finding real experts that are willing to work in the environment that DHS will provide for the wages that they will be able to offer.
TJX is not a company that any one expects much out of from the standpoint of security. While it would be nice if they were not idiots, but they were and it is unlikely that anyone who has done business with them would be surprised.
If a company where to have a solid reputation for security, and have a large chunk of their revenue based on security offerings and where then to be discovered to not only have been exploited, but to have been exploited because they failed to make even a reasonable effort to protect themselves then there would likely be a reputationional impact that could hurt/kill the company.
As a former Marine, I think that your numbers are way off. While for many in the Corps, when they are not forward deployed, they may be able to 'go home' at night (or for most the barracks). I do not think that more then a third would confuse their job with that of a traditional cubical dweller even when off deployment.
Please note that in addition to current combat zones such as Iraq, and Afghanistan, many jar heads are working on deployments to other locations such as Japan and Cuba, where they are likely to be isolated from friends and family.

... be sure to power down the NT box running hotmail.
PR group for company A says that a problem that our product 'solves' is really really bad.
Buy our product or you will be doomed.
It appears we really can store a lot of data on the head of a needle.
What is this C:> and $ of which you speak?
When my computer is done booting, it tells me "READY." and I know it is time to get to work.

Last I checked the US State Department recognized something like 194 countries. So they appear to have coverage of 103% of the countries in the world!

In a live fire situation 70 seconds may as well be next Tuesday.
... but we make it up in volume!
But somehow I doubt it.

Sure the DNS changes will be a pain, but who cares, it can be done.
Besides Halliburton, Daimler, and what is left of PRAC can all share a NAT'ed home DSL line and no one would notice...
So there is no need to read the repost.

It has not yet become a big enough of a problem for the large sections of unused address by universities such as MIT and Harvard to be recalled.
