Weren't his computer so it was a bad choice on his part.
now if there was in fact authorization from prior administration, ok...just correct the problem.
As for the $1 million in lost money, I'd like to see how they came up with that estimate. Yes proccessing power and productivity may have been affected, but its not like 5000 machines where being utilized 100% 24/7 in the first place. And I fail to see how replacement parts, as reported in the article, factor into this number at all.
SOX compliance itself has more to do with accounting practices than it does with IT. IT related affairs only come into play when it goes hand in hand with the accounting/financial requirements. If you are relying entirely on SOX compliance laws and regulations to fulfill IT requirements and security standards, you are ill-prepared for IT compliance.
For example... per SOX, business documents and financial reports must be kept for 7 years. If you're documents and records just happen to be in digital format, then your are mandated to to have digital backup retention for 7 years...otherwise sox has nothing to do with your computers. SOX doesn't have enough meat on IT specific matters to be used as your sole baseline for IT requirements.
I don't think SOX needs to be rewritten or abandoned...we just need a different solution to solve the IT problems.
This is why newspaper co.'s are dying. They want to stick to the old ways and refuse to try and jump on the oppurtunity search engines give them.
Personally, I don't want to spend hours reading an entire newspaper, or wade through mountains of data on a news site just to get the news that I want. Back before internet was in common use I had to do that. Not because I wanted to but because I had to. Now that I can search for very specific bits of news I will not waste my time doing things the old way. If news corporations want me to waste more time on their papers or news sites they will have to do something drastic--like improve the quality of the articles or report news ACCURATELY. Until then, those that can take advantage of the convenience Google provides will have my undivided attention.
I've read an article on these contacts. They even tailor them to specific sports. The contacts made for golfers enhance the contrast of blue/green colors, so they can better read the lie of the field and which direction the grass is growing. For baseball they try to enhance the contrasts so the red stitching on the baseball pops. I guess they can get a better read on the pitch from this.
I agree with this 100%. I think Apple's control keeps the user experience as advertised. My fear, and please correct me if it is unfounded, is that someone will design a malicious app that can brick your phone. With apple you know the product is under tighter scrutiny and chances are slim. With Android...what happens?
Assuming that they use a crop such as corn... If corn farmers knew that their product could make $23,000 profit for the buyer, they would probably raise the price of their crop to a price so high that corn would no longer be cheap enough to use as a food source. I fear that eventually the buyers and sellers will understand eachothers profit potential and will adjust the prices accordingly
I have a noob question too. Wouldn't it be practical to think a "little overweight" should have been the healthiest group from the beginning? Being a little overweight is an indicaton that you are getting more than enough nutrition, where as a skinny or "normal" weight person is getting just enough nutrition to maintain. While eating a larger quantity of food may not gauruntee you are getting all the nutrients you should be, I would assume that its more likely you are getting enough when compared to a person that eats only enough to get by.
I've actually caught myself watching these commercials when viewing tv shows online. Knowing the commercial lasts only 20-30 seconds, it felt like I wasn't wasting my time...and would have rather waited anyway just to make sure the video would load without error.
Maybe I'm not understanding the complexity here, but unless that knob is made of the hardest substances known to man, wouldn't an electric saw... or even someone with a metal file and a lot of free time solve this problem? It looks like the angles would allow for it.
Honestly don't that for sure. I suggested it might be possible because I knew someone that operated a gas station in Italy. I do know the insurance costs there decrease more than enough to offset the labor costs. Or it may just be Oregon's roundabout way of ensuring theres a few more jobs to be had.
having only "trained" personnel operate gas pumps greatly reduces insurance costs of operating such a business. It may be arguable that it drives insurance costs down in general for Oregon area too.
They might be speaking of the battery usage of GPS rather than battery use of the phone in general. If they were constantly looking for the phone via GPS I can understand their amazement. Try using a handheld GPS device and many of them crap out within hours without a plugin.
I'll agree with that, carbonshell. Military motives aren't always altruistic or looking out for the interests of everyone.
I'm not necessarily supporting the action of war, just mentioning the 'biproduct' of such an action. My wording may have been inappropriate, and did not intend to argue that the people died in war necessarily for the purpose of saving lives elsewhere.
There is, however a cause and effect relationship between past battfield casualties and current emergency room operating success.
Previous war's have already happened, so the only thing we can do is learn from that and embrace the benefits created.
Its also worth noting that war has driven technological advances much faster than any other single reason, so I wouldn't go as far to say science has been wasted on war.
One example...Emergency room trauma techniques and equipment were perfected on the battlefield. millions of lives have been saved because of the millions that were killed or maimed in war.
some of the coolest gadgets we use today came from the research done in finding ways to kill eachother.
its also about material resources, not just bodies.
a war between robot armies will be won by the one that has the most access raw materials metal, oil, coal, T-1000 morphing goo... etc.
While the 3 second rule makes great safety sense, the problem I have is people will just switch to your lane from the adjacent one because they see a large opening in front of you and an oppurtunity to pass.
3 seconds becomes 1.5 seconds. If I returned to the 3 sec distance every time I was passed I would damn near be traveling backwards...
Yeah yeah I'm exaggerating but you get my point here:)
I believe there are more than enough interested parties to keep our GPS satellites up and running.
Goverments of numerous countries make use of this ttechnology. Many commercial organizations profit from this technology as well. As long as there is someone that is able to make money off of this I'm sure funding will be available as well...
Where did you get this statistic of GPS failing in less than 2 years?
I agree this is nuty.
What if I became bitter not because of a single tramatic experience, but because of a hundred non-tramatic, barely annoying experiences? Would that qualify me as a diseased individual?
Experiencing trauma is life.

I wish they had 3D Information Assurance courses, or maybe OPSEC training in awesome CGI.

Or dare I say it.....the front "Windows" open?
In other news...Debeers has just entered the Health care industry.

I'm sure enemy forces would love to see this technology used by their adversaries. Instant "come-get-me-with-your-guns" attention.
