Seriously, go download all the patches you can, because knowing Oracle, you won't be able to afterward. I'm personally grabbing the last releases of Solaris 10 (Sparc and X86), as well as the latest recommended patch sets, the last OpenBoot Prom for my Sparc system, and the latest Sun/Oracle Compilers and their associated patches. With all the changes Oracle has been making putting all this further and further behind paywalls tied to their support contracts (without which according to some interpretations, you can't even upgrade the OS release revision past what came with your system anymore, unlike Sun's attitude where if you bought a sparc box, you can run any version as long as the architecture is still on the supported list).
Actually, I think it provided a larger share of food and women (as being a buddy of the "king" getting the first pick of scraps was never a bad place to be)
However, that threat has been dealt with by preforming basic security standards that had been recommended for years, like having a fortified, locking cockpit door, with the pilot and crew who needed to be in there already on board ahead of the passengers being allowed to board. It was simply deemed "too expensive" before, and was never mandated. In fact, that one change alone would have prevented tens of other planes from being taken over in the 70's, 80's and 90's. It was a well documented risk, with plenty of known examples, but was deemed "too expensive" to fix.
The current situation has plenty of common sense solutions, unfortunately, common sense and government almost never go hand in hand. If a police office is not allowed to perform this kind of search, the TSA certainly should not be allowed either. The Bill of Rights does not cease to exist simply because I walked into an airport (or bus station, or subway, or train station since they are considering expanding this).
Until they put you in jail for accessing data you are not authorized to access under the rules for having a security clearance, and/or strip you of your clearance for not following procedure in protecting secured documents and treating it as any other secured document and reporting it as a data spill to have it sanitized.
The hard drives would not be destroyed. There are multiple approved cleanup procedures which overwrite the disk blocks which contained the data. The people who have clearances all know to contact their local security officer, and not simply delete the file/email in question. If the email server operates under a delete after the client has received the mail, the free disk space would need to be scrubbed in a similar manner. It also depends on the underlying storage media. Some arrays will have multiple copies etc....
Actually, I would argue that the second the phone is removed from the box, it is now "used" and as he was the "owner" at the time of performing the service, he had every right to jailbreak it. And as there is no current law forbidding the sale of phones between people, he had every right to sell this own used phone to someone else, and if he can do it and make a profit at the same time, more power to him.
Because the monopolies have too much power to get broken up by the government, so some of the government bodies that are not entirely in their pocket are trying to do something about it since the parts that should be dealing with it are bought and paid for by the monopolies.
Who knows. Maybe they will simply say, "hey we already ruled patents had to be tied to a specific machine, not a generic one like that used here", and rule the patent invalid, and thus set the precedent that all software patents on generic systems are invalid. But I guess that would be logical, and we can't use logic when talking about the US and Patents and Court.
But from experience I am painfully aware that many Managers feel a need to be seen as action oriented "doers" that make quick decisions to fix problems. Unfortunately, these types commonly fail to grasp the long term effects of their action.
Did you work for my former boss's boss? He had us move an entire rack of servers out of one server room to a different one in a different building because the building it was in lost power (due to maintenance). We told him that it was assinine to do that as it would take longer to disconnect the rack of servers, get it to the loading docks, wait for the union transporters, wait for the network team, reconfigure the servers, network, DNS, services, reassemble the rack/servers in the new building, then it would to wait the two hours for the power to come back. Needless to say we were overruled, but we gave him a big we told you so when it took 2 days for the servers to come back online properly in the new location.
I worked my butt off and I got into all three Ivy League schools I applied to, but I didn't get a good enough scholarship to be able to afford going to any of them. I did get a very large scholarship to go to a lesser known school, which is where I went due directly to the financial issues. While I was never "poor" growing up, my parents and I certainly couldn't afford the $30,000+ a year over scholarship awards that it would have cost to go to the Ivy schools.
That said, I have no idea how my life would be if I hadn't gone where I did... I, for the most part, enjoy my job, which is something a lot of people do not get to say. While I would probably be making a lot more money, would already own a house, etc., etc., I am pretty content with how things turned out so far.
Or even better, have a photograph/video in a very simple crypto scheme and if/when they ask you about the meaning of it, you sue them for circumventing a copyright protection as well as copyright infringement.

I think we can all agree that copyright infringement to make a profit needs high damages. People who are copying a video and then selling those copies on the streets deserve a high penalty to offset all the in-gotten-gains and compensate the copyright owners for the lose of sales (since people actually bought the item, possibly thinking it was legit). I think those damages can actually stay were they are to be honest with you. However, for personal use, and non-profit, it should probably be capped at 10-20x the actual value of the item infringed upon.
The average tax return from people under the median income usually garners a rebate. That means they get money back they didn't pay in to the system.
No, that means the PAID MORE than the NEEDED to pay automatically from the paycheck, in effect giving the Government a 0% interest LOAN on the money. The Government simply pays them back what they over sent in the first place (not plus interest).
Except for the fact that saying that the number 0.999...99 is really saying a number that approaches 1, but NEVER reaches it. Since the very nature of the DEFINITION of the term 0.999...99 is the fact that it never equals 1; it is never going to equal 1.
Too bad someone didn't learn the rules of dealing with infinite sets; there are orders of magnitude. Look at the following:
2x > x
So what happens when "x" is set to infinity? We know that "2x" is always greater than "x", but since infinity is an irrational number, different things happen. The same is true with an infinite repeating decimal. It is an irrational number. As such, if you set x = 0.999...99, it will always be less than 1, even if you multiply it out because the multiplication carries the same "infinite magnitude" issues as shown above.
I have 34 systems which have 48 cores already in the server room. These are quad socket systems with 4 AMD 12-core CPU's. So I call BS to the guys who think we have plenty of time, because there are plenty of people deploying these things already.
Add Access Control Lists to the functions/API which grants access to personal data (such as email address, phone numbers/lists, browsing history, GPS location). Since it is an open platform, we can do this ourselves if we want. All applications which attempt to access such data will be verified against the ACL to see if it can receive such information. If the application is not on the ACL, then, the API returns either an error code (which requires the current applications to be recompiled...), or an empty response (either a fake email name, website, or phone number, or GPS coordinates in the south pole).
