Simply because the individual may be at the same shop on the same day at the same time as someone else who is part of some cell and may also be tracked via GPS. There in the govt. could make a loose case to tie these two together based on GPS data alone, and not on actual witnessed activity
While yes it could just be one incident of same place / same time, it was seen that many terrorist cells worked in that fashion. The reality is this young man appears to be tracked based on a profile of possible suspects and his travel habits as key reasons. I would assume the govt. thinks they see a connection so they aren't ignoring this possible link.
Prior to September 11, 2001 attacks, different govt. agencies failed to track and share info about individuals for they didn't see possible connections. The American people demanded to know how such tragedies could happen to Americans. Well our government answered with the Patriot Act, which unlocked many new ways to perform intelligence gathering, but this resulted in loss of civil liberties, and questionable actions on behalf of our government and the various intelligence agencies.
I don't believe a warrant is needed to tail someone, but the act of putting a tracker on the person's physical property is what is in contention.
With a tracker, you are followed everywhere you go in the vehicle, but with actual man power, the agent could follow you in a store and observe first hand if your motives are suspicious or just a daily routine.
One can hardly defend against an electronic accuser. Ie: if the tracker info is used against you in a court of law, it's a simple fact and there's no way to say, "well of course I went to that shoppe, it's the only shop that has the bubble gum I like", when the shop you went too may also have stuff that is commonly used in terrorist activities.
So I like to think of it as Space Cum. I know this sound disgusting, sorry. But if the planet is the egg and meteorite is the seed, wouldn't that basically imply that this planet and all living creatures come from some Space funk?
Planet X meets Planet Y, they bang into each other and had a Big Bang. Their seeds now free to float in space land here and there and Wham life as we know it.... 900 million years later.
If you're a hard working individual who works 10+ hours a day in Vietnam, you're losing one of those things that allows you some freedom.... your time on the internet during your own free time. I couldn't get to the site to read the article, but my guess it that the ministry is trying to control what people do on the internet, and maybe they can justify their reasoning, but from my perspective, they are overstepping their boundaries.
Maybe later the website will load and I'll be able to actually read the article.
Why the heck does a kid need a cell phone, dumb or other, other than a Land Line?
If they are out playing and you have to call them on the cell phone to get them to come home for dinner, that seems to me like the kids haven't learned the house guidelines / rules well enough, or the parent hasn't set them well enough.
They don't need them at school, and in some cases schools frown upon cell phones in the classes because they are too distracting.
If they lose it, you just replace it, because it's a "cheap" cell phone. But where are the lessons learned about taking care of things, and these objects are privileges. All you're doing is perpetuating to the "I'm entitled to it because it exists generation".
People who cheat are not necessarily unintelligent individuals, in fact, they are researching ways of obtaining information pertinent to a topic for their education, but rather than take that time to learn the material, and cite their own work in a paper, people plagiarize or just don't do the work and allow themselves to be robbed of the education that they are paying damn good money for. In some situations, these individuals are paying for their education from their own dollars, but many others are receiving tax payer dollars to get the education paid for. This is where the tax payers should have a right to stop payment on education funding, for those caught cheating, or who admit to cheating openly. For the education these soon to be professionals are supposed to be getting is suppose to help their companies or infrastructures that we as a society build our world on.
If I knew that the engineer who built a bridge I drive on cheated his way through college, I would feel that engineer should be held partially responsible for poor workmanship should that bridge fall apart, or not last as long as it should.
If cheating occurs because it's all about the mighty dollar, then these professional jobs should start paying new employees just above minimum wage until the individual can prove on the job competency. This might deter some people and bring that number down.
And for those individuals who actually put in the work, the time and effort, they should be mad as hell, for they are the ones who will suffer repercussions from the negativity of articles and situations such as these.
It is definitely interesting to see the changes. I logged on in both IE and Firefox and Slashdot works well in FireFox, but in IE, it's a complete mess.
I do realize that Slashdot does lean towards Firefox, Opera, and others, but many users still use IE, and in IE everything shifts to the right side of the screen and is crammed on top or below the right side menu items.

I detest that everywhere I turn there is some sort of Advertising shoved down my throat. And as a citizen of the US, I would like to see the citizens stand up for our civil rights a bit more and tell the corporations and the government to back the heck off. It reminds me of the movie Wall-E. As you see Wall-E traverse the area he works, there is nothing but advertisments everywhere. Are we really headed there?
Why must every product I purchase now force me to see and ad for something else?/sigh
... of course they did. They are a massive company in size, and any company that size who puts info on the Web knows that they must legally protect this data.
Since I don't have all the info in this I can only make assumptions based on what I read in the article. * AT&T made an application on their web site that allows an individual to enter in key info and pull back specific user data. * Individuals were surfing around AT&T's website * It was stated in one article that Hackers "guessed" 114,000 iPad ICC-IDs * Defendant wrote a script to collect the email data of associated to the iPad ICC-IDs * Some of the emails belong to High-Profile people in govt., military, FAA, News, and more. * This only affects 3G users.
While I don't know all the technical facts of the case, it appears that the two being charged, were not being all that above board in their method of obtaining info.
Regardless of their actions... Shame on AT&T, they know this information is sensitive. The iPad ICC-IDs should never been made available via the Web in any form or fashion. Companies of this size know how much this information is worth. If I were one of the people exposed, I would first look to AT&T and question their lack of security. I would hold AT&T responsible for allowing such an easy breach of data.
But the reality is even more simplified. If you are going to be on the Web, and use your professional email address on a purchase of this type on a network, 3G or otherwise, you fall under the same situation as the rest of us. Anything that goes across the web is not Private and is always hackable.
First of all, the woman is now divorced from her 3rd husband. So she marries the 1st one and has a child, then Divorces #1 for some reason. Marries a second man who BEATS her in front of the child from the 1st Marriage. Why was the child not taken from the mother then? Probably because she sought a better life, divorcing husband #2 and found a third man to call husband.
While we don't have the full story, and of course the News doesn't always provide all the facts, so this assessment is one of pure speculation based on information available, here is how I see the situation.
The third husband is a smart guy, and knows his way around a computer, and may likely make a decent living. The third husband seems to give a shit about the wife's son from a previous marriage, which provides the impression that he's a decent guy. The wife CHEATS on her third husband with the second husband, the one who BEAT her. So husband number three figures out his wife is cheating on him, and finds proof via her email, and in finding proof he notifies husband #1 to offer protection to the child. Here he could have gone to authorities and tried to protect the child that was living under his roof, but he went back to the birth father and say "hey man, you might want to know the potential danger your child is in..." (not an actual quote).
I suspect the Wife is pissed off because she's caught cheating which likely means she's lied to husband #3. I suspect she is probably pissed off, for child being removed from her custody, which she may have used the child as a tool against husband #1 for Child Support or as a power play . Now she's made to look the fool, by all three of her husbands past and present. The 1st husband has the child now, the 2nd husband is having sex with her again, and the 3rd husband caught her violating the vows of marriage. So she punishes the 3rd with legal action and finds a prosecutor to find possible Felony charges against husband #3.
She's already proven, by cheating, that she has the ability to lie, so why should her version of the story be more credible? At this point, based on a limited amount of facts, I see the 3rd husband as a victim. And when you are married there is a measure of trust between spouses, or should be. If he was always using the PC and she has the passwords in a book then only the act of him reading and typing in the password to an account that was not his is in question, right? The one thing that helps him is that he's no longer married to someone who didn't respect him enough not to cheat on him.
I believe we have a right to privacy even in our own homes from our spouses. I feel that while the man did violate her privacy, I honestly feel that his motives were right. I hope that a judge looks at this case and treats both parties fairly. He did violate privacy, but she, in my eyes has violated far more and deserves to be punished.
Again, all this is based on speculation of the facts as the new has reported them up to now.
Over the past year or more, Slashdot has been providing posts about the Stuxnet Worm. There have been several countries who have been accused of the creation of this worm, US being on the top of the list and I believe Israel being the second most accused. Just a week or two ago, China has been named as a possible suspect as well. I'm sure if you search upon Stuxnet you'll be able to find many links to many articles to find out a lot more information about the worm.
It's rather an interesting story to follow and will likely make for a great movie one day.
Nice stereo type there. Butt Ugly or fat.... um girls have to work at it to. Women are constantly scrutinized with the way they look or their weight, but are expected to just take a man as is. Shenannigans! It's equal work on both sides of the fence, you just see a false perception that women don't have to work at it. Go beyond the looks of the exterior and you'll be able to find someone with a great heart, spirit, and energy. Men would be amazed by the power of looking beyond the exterior of a woman's body. You compliment a women on the whole person, she'll naturally feel better abour herself and will likely eat better and find ways to live up to those compliments bestowed upon her. Try it sometime.
The Govt. runs security scans on all of their systesm all of the time. They are using tools that are designed to help them make their security tighter and more difficult to hack, and they are improving this all the time. As new security tools come to market they evaluate them just like any corporation. And before they let new applications on their networks, and before any releases upgrades are performed they check security on those applications. All security issues identified must be addressed before applications are put on their systems.
I would have like to have seen a comparison of our Governments security run against some of the Banks and Wallstreet system that hold our financial data. I would suspect you'll find as many or more on the public sector as you will on Govt. sector systems.
...probably helps keep people happy, and happy people are usually less stressed out. Wine is good for the heart. Liquor helps kill germs and sterilize, right? Beer is good for any reason.
The design of the tubes work as intended. An when you're trained to work as a nurse, this is part of the job. You must check and re-check, because people's lives are at stake. I would venture to guess, that the tubes have been designed to be the same shape and size so as to help keep the amount of medicine more easily regulated. If you have color coded tubes, that works if you are no color blind. But even color coded tubes or labeled tubes won't prevent people (the human factor) from making mistakes.
It is true in every industry that people are over worked and make mistakes. But this is directly dealing with people and helping to make them better. Would you argue the same point if some tired overworked programmer messed up a decimal point in a program and the $1000 dollars of your hard earned money only looked like $10 dollars on all receipts. Maybe that $1000 dollars is what is needed to pay for the medicine to say your family member. Would you treat that programmer the same way as a tired over worked nurse? Probably not.
Personal responsibility exists in all areas of society. It's called integrety. If you're over worked and can't handle the job, take a day off. But people don't for all sorts of reasons. They need the cash is one of the biggest reasons. So lets think about this from the bigger picture. Personal responsibility is everyone's own responsibility. We as people need to know how to say when we need a break or help. Then and only then can the industries really see where the flaws are in their systems to begin to provide better support to those individuals.
Whatever has happened to personal responsibility? Why is this such a problem? If a nurse is doing their job, then they will follow the tubing back to the source to ensure that they are connecting the right ones. Why is this so hard? If you're a nurse at a station and you want to ensure that you have the correct tubes. Take a moment and label them yourselves if you are that busy.
Another poster stated that maybe color coding tubes would help, and I think this is a good idea, if the dyes don't cause problems in the tubing. My greater concern is that we have busy nurses asked to perform a lot of tasks and they usually get nothing but grief from patients, so they just want to get in get out and move on to the next person. Personally I've watched nurses double check tubelines and it takes all of 2 seconds. They are also tend to be the nurses who've been a nurse for more than a couple years.
The method was clever, and the girls are smart enough to use bugging technology, but stupid enough to not actually apply their knowledge and learn something. I hope the court system teaches them a lesson that they won't forget, because a slap on the wrist (tiny fine) just isn't going to cut it.
