Yep, even the stuff they cover you have to fight them on. People can criticize Obamacare all they want, but what the insurance companies are doing right now can be classified as thievery and at times even murder. Healthcare is an example of the capitalistic economy model run a muck.
You're right that it's more cost efficient for the employer to do so. There's 2 major hindarences that prevent a lot of these perks from ever being fully implemented and that's people's different likes/dislikes... and people coming and going, while in 2011 you may have a culture that loves soda and candy, over time you may wind up hiring a bunch of health nuts of equal or greater skill and suddenly your perks work against you. With a dynamic and competent HR it's possible to shift with the winds... but ha. competent HR.
They're not actually doing anything illegal. The situation is like this: the offenders are in plain sight on the internet, they don't bother hiding because there is nobody policing where they're enacting their schemes.
MS is exposing them to authorities basically doing their legwork for them in tracking down these criminals.
They have motivation to do it too, its their systems that are most often affected by these criminals, so they are being uncannily pro-active about it.
It's the rare sight of corporate America giving back to the community. So rare in fact, people seem confused by it.
So... when I get exchange 2010 running on windows server 2008 r2 I'd be able to patent that? Holy shit would I be rich!
I totally acknowledge that there is a huge gaping hole in our hundred year old patent system in regards to software, which was inconceivable at the time of the patent system's implementation, but even if we did this moving forward (ignoring trillions in existing assets we'd just leave alone)... it just doesn't really make sense does it?
What about the LAMP stack? Would I be able to patent getting it running on windows?:P
What does make sense is judges talking about computers with the skills to check their email on that thingamajig with the blue E letter, and not having a clue.
just out of curiosity what's wrong with meat from animals that are given anti-biotics?
I mean if you can't cook your meat and get food poisoning as a result... well your immune system should take care of that, as well as a thousand home recipes. I've never heard of somebody being cured with anti-biotics after getting food poisoned (the theory is anti-biotic meats can harbor anti-biotic resistant bacteria. If you eat something that's going to kill you, I believe that process has a relatively short time window to do its work. On the flip side, mass meat producers have the animals in VERY close quarters, not sure if anti-biotics help there, but I'd imagine they'd help prevent a natural disease outbreak that would thin the numbers in nature.
I'm just saying that a favorable ruling here would insta kill windows, especially on the business side of things where things are inter-dependent and integrated to a degree that sometimes involves licensing.
Then again this would be all but impossible to enforce as most software is not aware of the software around it. Thus a favorable ruling here is highly improbable. It does seem like what they're getting at is the whole abstract software patent argument, which labeling computers as new machines per software program is just not a viable solution for.
You've obviously never dealt with MS enterprise licensing. Adding this layer is unfeasible in that licensing model. You're just a dumb ignorant kid who doesn't know shit. Posting as AC just amplifies that fact. Now... go ask your mom to make me a pb & j sandwich. Get to it!
It was probably a mob of angry sys admins who decided to burn down his house after suffering years of poor performance and system lag from the product that bears his name.
Yea seriously... TFA doesn't mention anything about OpenOffice being unique dowloads, while TFS mentions LibreOffice was download uniquely 15 million times. At least from what I'm seeing.
The brain "develops" in humans for a very long time though, to work around/with that the mechanical brain would either need to be able to develop itself or start off in an adult state.
I have my doubts about the success of this project, but we've got to start somewhere & we'd learn a lot with this project, not like we don't spend our country's money on wars, or policing / giving aid to people who hate us instead.
It's his job to provide that format though, as I'm sure it varies court room to court room.
Agreed on the police, you can also walk away if the cop has no legitimate reason to be questioning you.
I'm sure there are certainly cases where you really really want a lawyer (the divorce case example), I'm just saying don't assume you always need one, if you ask a lawyer, they'll tell you you need them to dispute a traffic ticket and charge you $250/hr to do it.
What makes you think i'd give a wikipedia article? Again, you're biasing towards manipulating the facts to prove you're right, high profile court decisions can be found in pdf form online, and all I'd really have to do is reference the case and point.
You're probably right about chapter 7 not fixing the court problem, but it may fix some of the other problems that arise depending on your payment plan with the court.
And I do truly believe you're better off representing yourself than hiring a poor lawyer who just wants to take you the cleaners. Unix systems are a lot more complex than law actually, but ya if you've never read a law or have much interest in it, you'll probably fail just like you would at picking up anything else you don't care for.
I'm just saying that I've read my share of law (especially around being around cops in various situations, turns out you don't have to answer shit), and it seems to me like a matter of effort rather than expertise to pick up.
Also, how do you enforce it, w/o nuking everybody's privacy, which so far rightfully so remains the bigger issue. It's not like these entities that are getting hacked are broke and new, they for the most part don't invest properly in mitigation. Remember Sony's play on line getting hacked hard (if i remember correct), and the PR generated from that... Sony hasn't been hacked since in such a high profile attack as far as I know (DDOS doesn't count).

Or you know... people could start writing decent secure code to begin with... :)
I mean SQL Injection attacks, and buffer overflows aren't exactly zero days at this point.

In retrospect, how many of us can still actually throw a spear to a level where it can hit anything? :P
The death knell of windows in 4 steps?
Using PGP is due diligence, adding meaningless messages... well scares the morons, which is good enough I guess. At least it's not a read receipt...
lol Crest... how is that crap not banned by the FDA? Your teeth will go longer without it.
You're right...
It was probably a mob of angry sys admins who decided to burn down his house after suffering years of poor performance and system lag from the product that bears his name.
While hilarious in its own right, I doubt anybody from NASA actually cares because the internet is serious business.
Ideally, this professor needs to get to building these robots asap.
And then robots that maintain those robots...
and then...
robots that maintain those robot's robots.
Hopefully the 3rd generator of robots will exhibit more logic than the professor at which point skynet will be born.
I'd imagine the FBI got Sabu to flip when they caught wind of him leading to other arrests is how these things typically work.

I love how people mod you down when they don't agree with your point, too stupid to make a counter point are we?
Just out of curiosity how would replacing windows with linux prevent a spear phishing attack?
In the context of laws, I'm actually thinking of laws that would protect security researchers who are publishing these vulnerabilities.
I would also love to hear what you think "secure code" is, what if the vulnerability is in a lower OSI layer as plenty often are?
