Was that a rhetorical question? The answer is obviously yes. There is always a little bit of nepotism, the boss's step-son hangs around doing nothing, but otherwise, of course, ability is the most important metric of success or failure at my company.
This is going to end badly for us all. Bureaucrats should be hired and fired based on their ability, not some arbitrary reactionary bloodletting done by party hacks.
I use a Juniper SSG 5 at home and I have no idea at this moment if my network is exposed or not. I am aware that no one is likely to be interested in my network but it is still scary to think that SSL relies so heavily on one party for it's security. I should be able to offer a public key and encrypt from my side should I choose.
The government just keeps overstepping it's boundaries. It seems to have moved into it's awkward teenage years where it thinks it can do whatever it wants. It's about time we take away it's checkbook. That's what most parents do when their teenager is acting like a punk.
I doubt their problem is hypocrisy. I suspect it is more likely that very few people actually complain about communist symbology. That is not to say that many people complain about nazi symbology either. I doubt there are many complaints at all. They are more likely just following the basic corporate playbook. The one that says, "You need to be politically correct, and not moral or righteous."
Remember, these people are in the business of selling death to children. They clearly don't have the moral high ground. They just don't want anything to distract them from their main goal or making money (even if they have to push death and gore to my son to do it).
Now I understand why XBOX games are so expensive. They have people on their staff that think about such trivial and inane topics as this. If they just focused on software, I wonder how much their stuff would cost?
The OP doesn't want to touch every desktop. I suspect that Active Directory would help with this though. Login scripts or perhaps even registering a CA within the domain that extends to all PCs in the domain.
These stories invariably describe the space craft as "secret". Of course they never are because everyone who cares to look can see it go up and then watch it in orbit. What audience are they talking to when they say it's "secret" when it by definition is not based on the fact that they are telling us about it.
I just wish evince was faster so I didn't have to keep both of them on my computer. I use evince except when I have to look at really big pdfs, then I have to use Reader.
My thoughts exactly. I have a couple 100 GB in a MsSQL database with extensive normalization and it is lightning fast. It's all about indexes and appropriate design.
Don't blame the Brits for the complaining. I suspect most if not all the people here who are aghast this boys treatment are good old-fashioned Americans. Confused or extraordinarily generous Americans who want to give their rights to citizens of other nations but not require that those same people share in our responsibilities. Honestly, I am completely stumped that the majority opinion on this story is that the boy was mistreated rather than: I can't believe the government is wasting it's time with this, or good for them for keeping the tripe out of our land.
If your point is, "If it's not an actual imminent threat, it should just be ignored." that seems like a reasonable point of view. Many people would argue with you, but not I. I'd love to see every single person on the dole involved in this silliness to be fired. When I say the dole, I mean the police and FBI guys sucking on the bloated breast of government when they should go find a real job so this absurd deficit can be done with and those people can be productive members of society instead of just parasites on our society.
Your suggestion that, "you should be allowed to call your elected representatives pricks", only makes sense if young Luke was a citizen which he is not. He is just some rude boy in some country that doesn't bother to teach its youth manners. That he is banned, if it's true (dubious at best I'd say), then good on him. At least someone is trying to teach manners, clearly his parents never bothered. That my tax dollars are being spent to teach him manners bothers me greatly, but not that someone is doing it at all.
Exile: The state of being banished from one's home or country.
He wasn't exiled because he is not a citizen. He is just an obnoxious child who lost the privilege to visit our nation. We have enough rude and obnoxious people of our own already, why do need to invite them in from other countries as well?
They can express a negative opinion, they just don't have the right too do it and expect to be welcome here. It is a privilege to enter a nation that you are not a citizen of and young Luke was rude and lost that privilege. I don't see a problem with it at all. This is not a value judgment about Obama or a rebuke of "free speech". You don't visit a friend's house, call his father p***k and expect to be invited back either. Exactly the same thing as I see it.
I wonder if "THEY" already have one of these quantum computers and are keeping a lid on it so they can snoop on the PGP of our enemies. Would it be possible to develop one of these in secrecy?

Why don't game makers just start using a dongle on the PS3? There is a USB port on the device right? Sounds cheap, easy, and pretty effective.

Sadly, I'm sure that very few if any hardware vendor will change their behavior after this breach of security. Caveat emptor.
But every little bit helps. Users could user a swing in their favor after years of advertising networks chipping away at our privacy.
Your signature is funny. And I thought that the UCI rules were tough: "That which is not mandatory is expressly forbidden."

These will be popular among those who like stragers to grope them.

In a word, NEVER. No American will ever be exiled for this. We have rights because we are citizens.

What could possibly go wrong?

Hmmm, can I have those 3 minutes of my life back?
