I didn't say I agreed with the police using cell phones for "security", just that they do. And I believe it is harder to scan than the plain old radios that everyone has a scanner for.
Ah, the age old question: what is a life-critical application? A cell phone certainly isn't a life-critical application, right? It is just for the yakkers while they drive down the street.
Ok, what about police officers that use cell phones in emergencies, or when they require more privacy than a radio allows.
What about a doctor on call?
An EMT who works in Yellowstone National Park who needs an airlift for a lost hiker?
I have yet to see a family use this for longer than a year, most don't last 6 months. Yes, I live in PA, so am somewhat familiar with the cyber school system you are referring to.
Yes, that is what I get where I work. IT told our CEO that we would have to open source our (non-web) app if I installed Apache on a machine.
He then asked for a list of all applications and their associated licenses that I would want to install. I was happy to oblige, and sent him the output of: dpkg --get-selections, and included the apache licenses, GPL, LGPL, and said if he had any problems with those licenses, or if he wanted others, I could send him those too....
Strangely enough, he never responded.
He continues to leave the unlicensed copies of Winzip on all 200 machines that he maintains.
Well, I clicked around a bit, and it seems that Microsoft is depending on an extension to SSL, and the limedaley.com site uses the SSLCertificateChainFile setting to tell the client where to find the intermediate certificates, so it works.
It also seems like not explicitly using the chain file has been explicitly declared as wrong in newer versions of SSL.
Great, I will look into it. It seems that there is an older edition, published the year before, but is 25% of the price? Do you happen to know anything about that, ie. can I be cheap and just buy that book instead?
Does it include a section about how if people want to sue you and take all your money, it doesn't matter if you have a LLC to try to hide behind or not?
If you don't have administrator access on a windows machine, you can't even double click the time on the task bar to see the calendar. I am sure there is some way to configure it, maybe make you a power user, or give the user explicit permission to change the time, but all I want to do is see the calendar, or use the second hand.
I was going to mod you informative, but then you had to say something about Japanese.
You only get two-for-one if you have a 52 (I think) key keyboard. I believe most characters in either of the two alphabets require at least two keystrokes, even on PC104 keyboards. I imagine it must be more than that on a cell phone, though there might be some fancy stuff with prediction to get that keypress count smaller.
As for the morse code, yes, I agree with your first three paragraphs. I guess we need a new moderation system, points per sentence...
It's not a troll if it's true. I had to disable webwasher in order to see this "vulnerability". Oops, I saw a unintentional pop-up, first one on my computer in years.
Yes, I was going to say the same thing - IE is affected also, so for those saying switch to IE is the solution, they should think about it some more... (not that just because it works in IE means it shouldn't be fixed)
Ah, you are correct, AC. The marketing language of "look like two processors" sounds fishy to me, but I have read a little more, and that it can actually execute instructions concurrently.
I still don't think it is as obvious as you imply, since there is overhead and contention when competing for the same processor resources. So, I suppose it depends on the types of processes/instructions that you normally run. It is worth further looking into, I do concede.
I haven't seen the attraction of hyperthreading. My father said that it is great because now he can read his email (at work) while running his compiler, rather than the compiler taking up all of the CPU.
I said he should just lower the process priority of his compiler (or raise it on his email client). Then, the compiler can use 100% of the CPU when he isn't surfing the web on company time...
I got a machine that has it, and I turned it off in the BIOS. I have been meaning to do some comparisons, to see if I can notice.
I dunno. I used the registry hack to make windows not force the update when it first came out, since I was concerned that my sony laptop might have issues, and I didn't want to deal with anything.
But, after a while and I had heard good things about it, in terms of doing a good/significantly better job with security, I thought I would look into it more.
When I went to download it, it recommended that I look here, to see if my manufacturer had anything to say. They did, and had a couple downloads before I upgraded, and a couple after. Everything works great.

I agree with you, just saying that it isn't obvious when a device is life-critical/supporting. By "supporting" do you mean that class of medical devices (http://msdn.microsoft.com/embedded/getstart/devpl at/meddevsys/default.aspx) that get implanted in a person etc?
Probably just feeding the trolls...

As for Yellowstone, that was an example, I haven't ever used a cell phone there, but it appears that some people do:

Hrm, that is interesting. I wonder is different about these two certificates:
https://limedaley.com/
and https://partner.microsoft.com/
I suppose I could read up on the disagreements people are having, but it easier to just complain on slashdot...
uh, ok. Just live in your happy little bubble, and don't visit this site:
https://partner.microsoft.com/
(of course IE says this certificate is fine)

Hopefully you are joking, but I am not convinced.

Here is a post of someone talking about why they switched, though don't follow their advice about blindly clicking on certificate warnings.

Nah, he just copied it from SGI before he left there.

I have only seen the terms in dicussions like these, never in the "real" world.
But, just because a standard isn't used, doesn't mean we shouldn't start using it.
One man can make a difference... (:

A friend who started in 97 had some other number on his id. He cared a lot about it -- I don't know how hard it was to do.
