If you are good, you know when the network "isn't right" which is much better than UP/Down.
This includes knowing things like a switch port has lost duplex on an ethernet connection, there is a broadcast storm in a building/site, one of your redundant links is down.
Being right much much more often than being wrong in diagnosis/troubleshooting is also a good trait.
We will be replacing all of the employees with small shell scripts. The ones we can't, we will be outsourcing your jobs to Elbonia, until there are no employees remaining that are not upper management.
Then we will declare bankruptcy, pocket all the profits until we re-emerge as a shell company sellining rights to our name.
Everybody who ever bought any number of books will get a single $1-5 credit toward buying another book. States and Federal government will collect millions of dollars and fines.
What would stop people from modifying open source browsers to simply write the video out to a file?
You can't have netflix on linux, if you could you very well can't have DRM. With firefox + linux there would be nothing stopping you from simply recording the video or hell writing it directly to a file.
Umm isn't android linux ?
Netflix seems to run fine on my tablets and googletv...
Voltage is very good, especially when combined with software/appliances that can scan email for Compliance (Business, HIPAA,...) that will then direct the emails to be encrypted.
The "weak" link in PGP or any other manual encryption is always the end user.
I've worked with Voltage, they're very professional and have gone above and beyond on support issues.
It is better to be competent, than incompetent. It is better to have the servers in house if you are competent. Of course, if you are competent, then you already have the servers in house;-)
To become very very competent, outsource, then insource the same services every few years. Usually the outsourcing will move you to a cloud based service.
it has figured in a number of investigative coups that went beyond the systemâ(TM)s original purpose of counterterrorism in Lower Manhattan after the Sept. 11 attack
They aren't even pretending it's just anti-terrorism.
it was developed by cops for cops
I'm sure it doesn't track every movement of every person in New York and store it in a database indefinitely. That will be version 2.0.
What level of risk you're willing to bet on your Internet connection(s).
It will be less than optimal when 20,000 kids in the school are streaming netflix in their dorm rooms while their professors are trying to work on their research grants on the file servers in the clouds.
Combine that with multiple legal implications of the data being contained on the low bidder data center most of these kind of people will pick

There are over 25 million known open DNS resolvers that can be used in DNS amplification attacks. Directly contacting the administrators of all the servers used in the attack is not a tractable problem
It sounds like the solution is to send out a huge amount of unsolicited email.
Oh, wait...
Well we could do a kickstarter, and hire our friends at Cyberbunker to host the email sending...
Except I don't see Android or Linux on the list of things they run on
Would be quite nice for tablet, phone or android stick attached to giant TV.
>>The Leap Motion Controller will change the way you work without changing what already works for you. So it doesn’t replace your keyboard, mouse, stylus, or trackpad. It works with them, and without special adapters. Just plug it into the USB on your Mac or PC, and you’re off.
You may want to see if any of your local colleges have computer security tracks. You may be able to do an Internship, or someone may be available to just do it for experience. YMMV

Hrm, can it run WebOS^H^H^H^H^HCyanogenmod?
How about they make them into Zunes, or maybe Kin phones?

HTML5 can't have DRM in it. It would never work.

Yes. Yes he does.
Or maybe they could submit a request to the NSA.
Last time I heard VMS had never been hacked. Is that still the case?
It was the best OS I ever worked with. It'd be nice if they open sourced it.

According to the Wall Street Journel (in 2011) there are over 4500 Federal offenses, and there is no list of them.

It's difficult to be a law abiding citizen because there are so many laws that it's difficult to not run afoul of at least a few.
OK, name one crime that I could innocently commit and wind up in jail for.

They only bought Java because they thought they could sue Google (ie. Android) over the API.
Well there was that whole database company Sun had bought for 1 Billion, Of course Oracle did wonderful things
with that purchase too...

There are many sites with CVE information, Secunia is ok, search for applications you care about.

Be careful scanning log files, at least sanitize them before you read them.
You should probably know what ports should be open on which systems.
A spreadsheet of systems/applications/versions of SW OS... would be a good start.
Look for ports that are open, or Listening that shouldn't be...
