This is a bad precedent to set. Considering that Wikipedia is meant to be edited by anyone, even it is is wrong (Sarah Palin fanatics editing Paul Revere's page). The changes are supposed to be reviewed and amended if they are wrong, like in the care of Paul Revere, sorry Palin fans. Also I don't see how this caused the company any loss. I mean someone shopping for a micro payment system is not going to be looking on Wikipedia on which company to choose and if that is how a company is doing business they probably won't be doing it for long.

I am not saying Bitlocker is bad, it does the job and isn't that hard to use, but it causes users to complain (another password, another thing I have to do). In a tech company it isn't an issue because the users are tech knowledgeable, but working at a company such as one in retail where most of the users know little about computer other than how to use Office, it gets more challenging. And I am not saying that connecting to an insecure network is a formidable risk, but it is a risk. I'm just merely pointing out that no matter how many security protocols and firewalls you put in place. It will also come down to whether or not a does something they shouldn't. Also Bitlocker and only authenticated USB drives cost money, money that not all companies have. And I agree that you should not allow USB drives as the best security measure, but at the same time, it isn't always practical.
Totally agree, and I think the Hospital your wife works at needs to get a more integrated system, that many different logins has to hinder productivity to add to being a pain in the ass.
YES, THEY ARE! As someone who worked as a security engineer, the biggest threat to the network wasn't an external threat, that is fairly easy to prevent if you know what you are doing and don't be cheap about it. It is however hard to prevent you employees from doing something dumb. Clicking on links in emails, connecting laptops to their home networks riddled with viruses, plugging in USB's that they don't know where they came from! I mean yes, you could lock down USB drives so that you can read or write to them unless they are encrypted with Bit-locker and have the key, but they will hinder productivity because Bitlocker is a pain in the ass. I mean you don't know how many computers you can log on to simply by walking up to the desk and opening the drawer which has a sticky note with the password on it. PEOPLE ARE DUMB! They will do dumb things like this it is inevitable. Your only option to try to stop it without hearing tons of bitching and adding a lot more overhead is to have all of your employees go through IT security classes involving passwords, usbs, emails, and how to use IT safely, but even then people will do something that will make you scratch your head at how.
I know when I took Java in College, my professor had us play with Scratch on the first day of class. Most of the class was familiar with programming already, but the professor wanted to get those not used to programming interested. I have to admit scratch is a fun little language that a kid could play with and get familiar with concepts.
Just a tid bit for you to know, Powershell was around before Windows 7. Microsoft released Powershell 2.0 with Windows 7. They were first released in 2006 though for Windows XP/Server 2003, and Vista/Server 2008.
Fixed two exploits in Black Ops, and in Modern Warefare 2 they tweaked the strengh and range of a few weapons. However, I agree that they aren't patched as well as they should be, but there isn't really a way any developer can patch something like a lag switch.
They are usually abandoned. I know in the case of Call of Duty, after a new release in the line comes out, exploits stop being patched in the predecessors. This happens in many other games as well the servers are left on, but are never patched or touched again.
Most of you don't know how EHR's work, by the way you are talking about them. I work for one of the top EHR companies and know that these aren't as insecure as you all think. The data isn't transferred it is all transferred through a hospitals internal network. The only time information is shared between hospitals is if the patient is admitted to a hospital outside of their provider and when this occurs the information is transferred using a high bit encryption (I know what number is, but I signed a NDA). As for the government, I also know that their EHR systems is highly customized and using high security measures then public hospitals. Paper systems were highly insecure as well, I mean you just had to go into a hospital and the records were usually in an unlocked room (witnessed this).
Just saying if you Google "Watch movies free" and if returns the links for sites that allow you to stream movies for free, isn't this the SAME exact information being provided? If so Google could be prosecuted...however I doubt RIAA would like to go up against someone with a legal arm and financial backing.
"At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
I'm curious? If police officers are doing their job correctly and without abuse of their power. What do they have to hide? Police need to realize they are not above the law and must abide by it of face the consequences. And going by the police officers argument, does this mean if I own a shop on a street and have a video camera that points to the front door and windows from inside, but can see into the street because the door and windows are glass; that if I catch a police officer using excessive force on a citizen outside my store that the tape can't be used to prosecute the officer? Because he was not aware that he was being filmed?
Apple's first introduction of the desktop and icons was something they stole when they visited Xerox which came up with the technology first and was using it in house. Apple execs came to visits Xerox's headquarters saw the technology then went up replicated it and sold it to the public.

Everyone knows that computers that are supposed to make war decisions don't work... they can't even play Tic-Tac-Toe

Since we came up with the genetic code for a good song, does this mean I mean have to hear a Rebecca Black song again?

Same reason Reggie Bush had to give back his Heisman and USC had to give back their National Championship Trophy... politics.
You going to register all of those USBs, or pay for all those USBs you distribute to your employees?
YES, THEY ARE!

So that Microsoft can listen to the plans?
Was that you can return you Apple app, but Steve Jobs gets your soul.
So that after you beat the game in a week, it will still serve a purpose.

Does Google not profit from advertising just like the kid did?

Most influential Tech folks were nerds growing up, so why wouldn't they say yes if some hot girl friended them on Facebook.

You can't have a UAV and call it the Batcopter. there is only one Batcopter and it is flown by Batman.
