When you come out with a product that will GUARANTEE everyone's safety on the net then you can talk. I'm not willing to write something to accomplish this so I'm not going to run my mouth about how it should exist. It doesn't and that is the truth.
As soon as you plug into the internet you should have very little expectation of privacy. All your files are now available to a hack, your browsing habits are available to the OS and there for to logging and your banking information is now available to anyone sniffing. When the internet because common place privacy became obsolete. If you were concerned with your privacy then you wouldn't go on-line.
Didn't Ubuntu already change the original implementation of syslog as specified in the RFC? Can anyone name me a current popular and wide spread distribution which uses the original syslog? All red hat is doing is upgrade a dead standard to something modern.
If there was a real need for something to get done then it would be worth an interruption, email has become such common place that most emails are about nothing and had very little reason for existing. If you take out the amount of useless emails a day you receive, at least for me that's sitting around the 90% mark. I would gladly take those 10% as phone calls or chat windows because I know that the message that needs to get across is worth while for me to listen to. If something concerns a team of people then have a meeting. Email has become the useless message carrying medium of choice with the occasional useful message thrown in.
Your right, the battery manufacture carries the same responsibility. Everyone who makes a product of any kind carries this carry's this responsibility. However the company who produces the "final" product must assure that everyone under them has the same quality control. It doesn't matter if it's apple, HTC, Rim or anyone even a tire manufacture for cars.
What about writing a simple script that would do the same job.
1) Just have the script goto a computer
2) upload the data you need to a SCM hub of some sort or any kind of backup source.
3) Then have the script start a DD on the computer to wipe the drive, or a comparable windows program
4) Have the computer reboot and connect to a PXE server which has an auto seeded OS install on it.
5) Have your script push the information back to the computer
I wrote something remotely like this last year, it didn't do all these steps but it did handle remote access, backup and restoring of certain files. It was C based.
If apple sources from a manufacturer then it's there job to assure that company's product works exactly as expected. So it would still be there fault if a phone had issues.
I love how apple tried to blame everyone else for what is actually there problem. If the phone explodes or caught on fire then it's apples fault, there in charge of the end product. It doesn't matter if a customer makes the phone explode or the battery or anything,apple needs to be the ones saying "oh we F'd this up". If the phone can explode and if the phone can catch fire then it's apples fault.
One of the many problems with emails is that there is a lack of emotion associated with an email. If I get 200 emails a day and read them all each one will sounds as if it's the worlds most urgent task and that the entire course of humanity boils down to me finishing what I was asked to do. However if that same person just called me and I was able to hear there voice I could of easily judged that there task is a low priority job and I don't have to stop everything to start it.
A second major problem with email is that it's a slow form of communication. Slow in comparison to a phone call, more then 1/2 of the time your engaged in email your just trying to figure out exactly what the email was about or why the email got sent. You end up sending more emails out to clarify the original email and it's non stop cycle. Again if the same person just called you then you could of hashed out all the question right there and then and been ready to work.
The third problem with emails is bad interpretation, where one party reads and email and then sends out a re-worded version of that email to another team and actually got the entire context of the original email incorrect. Now you going to start the wrong task based on the wrong information all because someone used an email.
Chat programs or just the normal phone will trump email 100% of the time. The people who say that email is the way to go are really just holding on to a lost cause. Time and Time again emails prove to cause more trouble then they help, if the the email was worth sending then why is a phone call not worth making.
I still shouldn't have ass label on my blog then, if a terrorist wants to blog then let him / her blog. Whats happened here is the US has realized that they were the biggest kid in kindergarten and decided to be a bully, now in grade 8 there mid size and have no prospects and 3/4 of the school wants there ass. Now there trying to hide behind the teachers for protection and making faces at the kids who want and have a right to kill them. 9/11 was a prime example that the US walks around like it's shit don't stink but in fact they it's the smelliest crap in the pile. So the bully who now got beat up wants to file police charges and all the other parents are tell that kids parents to fuck off. PREFECT EXAMPLE!
If the right safety measures are taken then there is VERY VERY little risk. Nuclear power is a great way to power the world as long as we make sure that the engineering around the plants is beyond acceptable.
Are you kidding? The right for free speech needs to be absolute and effective for everyone or it will never work. Having to brand a blog from a terrorist violates that right. It's free speech just not free and not read with out prejudgement.
The issues is that the frequency bands we use day to day aren't separated enough. A few years ago trying to cram 10 devices in the 2.4 GHz spectrum inside a house was fine but now everything and your grandmothers rolling pill is broadcasting over 2.4 GHz. Newer routers are going into the 5 GHz band but it's not really a great solution.
The problem with everything using the 2.4 GHz band is that almost no devices are smart about how they make sure of that band. This is a problem we deal with a lot when it comes to sensitive embedded systems. You need to make sure that the signal you want isn't the raw signal you send, you need to encapsulate the single into a modulated and coded scheme. Using techniques like:
The more "secure" or encoded the signal the smaller the chance that any other signal will play off it and alter the key data. Now I'm not saying that this is a perfect solution but it is a start to smart design. Amount several other option such as not letting your embedded solution be sensitive to every other signal in the air. I know there are FCC regulations and all that jazz around this but it still all boils down to smart design. As more and more devices are occupying the 2.4 GHz band smarter and smarter encoding methods are going to have to be taken into practice, this might even boil down to editing the FCC regulations on wireless devices.. I would hate to think my wireless pacemaker is going to short out because my gas meter wanted to log 1 KilloWatt.
I would shy away from the encryption method. The drives will be very hard to decrypt but not impossible so it's possible for someone to break the key and get the information off. Even if you use a one time pad there is still a chance of someone breaking it.
The best way to handle this is to magnetically scramble the drive using high powered magnetic fields and then continuously low level format them at least 10 times. This will render the information completely erased. At that point there is as close to a 0% chance of data retrieval as possible.
This is 100% on the head of the DEA, It would be the same as blocking cold medication from a store because it can be used for making Meth. I'm glad the DEA tries to spin excuses that are completely BS, nice work.
Even if Microsoft makes there own anti virus solution it will be so poor that an entire new industry will open up based around selling products to fix the new series of holes there going to introduce. How about instead of making anti virus software they just redesign the entire system to be secure. Trying to fix the holes when you can prevent them from the start is backward logic.

Wont every school now have to replace there periodic tables with the new updated version?

I will give you that one! however don't open the net with no protection and think your safe.
No it's dead, anyone who can't see that needs to go back to school and learn why. I can't talk at a grade 1 level, sorry.

Well clearly we don't agree on this topic, to each there own. Maybe a better statement would be, Go with what works for each person.

HAHA That should be a commerical
At 24 I'm absolutely fine with being less fertile. I really don't need a kid right now or soon :P

Last time I bought it in the states I just walked up and asked for it, Maybe something changed, that was 2 years ago.
