  1. I admit its not easy on the front end but you can easily get a good start by logging sites visited for a month and start with that. I've helped with the implementation of a white list at a few businesses and after a month or two its just a matter of maintenance.

  2. Nope, not offtopic. The problem with these public organizations is that they are allowed to do these things due to the fact they are rarely fired for them. Its almost impossible to get fired from a government job. This person will most likely get a little slap on the wrist and after a year or so be promoted and or receive a raise. The IT in their organization will most likely not face any penalty for not having secured their network and the devices operating on it. They talk about a blacklist of sites when they should be talking about a whitelist of allowed sites. I wonder if there is any data out there on how many people have been fired from the USGS?

  3. He go a promotion. Its not like they fire employees.

  4. small rural isp here on FCC Leaders Say We Need a 'National Mission' To Fix Rural Broadband (cnet.com) · · Score: 2

    The problem is that they make it hard to get the money. USDA handled the last round of lets fix rural broadband. The first thing they asked for was first lien. The problem with that is we already had loans with local bank who were not going to give that up. We hired someone who had worked with USDA and even he couldn't cut through all the red tape. They made it so difficult to get the money to improve our infrastructure that we just passed on it. The problem with using the USDA for this kind of rural development is that they really don't have the experience in dealing with this type of problem.

    It will also trickle down.

  6. Rockstar could also hire more personal to monitor games and drop the ban hammer. Its easier to go after the people that create the exploits than it is to fix the code or administrate the games.

    Even better if you have a android device load a fake GPS app and select you're parents house. My daughter still has room at my house but she is in college ninety miles away. Kinda stupid really. When your subscribers start to peak you have to do something to increase profits.

  10. I have had no less then a dozen calls in the last month from boomers who let someone access their desktop and locked it demanding money to unlock it. I arrived at one location where the scam was still ongoing. I promptly unplugged the ethernet on the computer and when the guy on the other end said I lost connection the lady made me reconnect and wouldn't listen to my explanation that she was going to get ripped off. I left and two days later she calls in to complain that her computer needed a password and they wanted four hundred bucks to give it to her. Since we sell them internet they think we are responsible. We get calls from our older phone customers complaining about all the scam calls they get everyday but the insist on answering and talking to them. So no I don't believe that millennial's are less savvy than boomers.

  14. The EU is making some terribly bad mistakes. They are going to turn the internet in Europe into a snooze fest of unimaginative content. She probably feels since she deleted it that the hate has went away. Stop making tech related laws without the input of you're populace and you might not be so unpopular.

    Oh I didn't imply that it was just in India who has this problem. Choose your own way to describe it but malfunctioning humans is my way of describing anyone who is to lazy to seek their own truth. We have this problem in the US. Education is not relevant to the problem. These people have the same fears as all of us but are willing to act in violence to satisfy them. They are unwilling to learn new things. This isn't limited to one country but is a universal problem. Ignorance is bliss and these people are pissing bliss.

    For the record I have not logged into facebook, this year. I haven't clicked I agree on anything they asked me to agree on in over five years. Facebook is a corrupt bloated nothing burger. They are not however at fault for people who choose not to think but to react any more than a bottle of whiskey is responsible for a drunk driver.

    Let face it. These people are doing this to themselves. Its not facebooks problem if they can't learn to not let themselves be trolled in to violence. In this case someone told them to walk off a cliff and they did. Sounds like this country has many deep seated problems that the tech is just shining a light on.

    Every kind of profit in this country is about money. Since that is the only way the powers that be see profit we don't get to have decent public works. Its not just the powers that be though. Those that operate the public transit only do it for money and many care little about who get where. Those that do often don't get the support they need to make it happen. They don't plan for the future except in terms of cost and will not spend money to prevent things from breaking down. They only put a band aid on what they have to.

  24. A corparation can only be trusted to do whatever is in its best interest. Even If there are no psychopaths in its top management. The committee will always choose to do what is best for the company no matter what the law is. Its one of the reasons we need more regulation in this country. Several generations of US citizens have now been convinced that government regulation is bad. They have been convinced of this to preserve the bottom line of companies whose management closely resembles the communist party of Russia. Look at how they elect their leaders and who decides who is on the boards. Doesn't look like democracy in any way.
