IT department is in control of every aspect of the entire network all the way down to what mouse you use...
alludes to more than just standardized hardware. If standardized hardware is all you meant, then we're in agreement. But if it includes not allowing users to install software, change their desktop background, or what have you, and installing stealth remote control software like the SMS client, we aren't.
Perhaps an investment in character-based dumb terminals is in order. It's the only thing that's going to provide that degree of control against anyone who knows anything, unless fiddling is a termination offense. And if fiddling's a termination offense, there's really no need to lock anything down, is there?
Could it be that mainframe style attempts at control are a way for the (former) priesthood to take some of their power back? I think so.
BTW, the best way to deal with the machines that have a "little quirk" is to say "We'll slick that machine down and Ghost it right up for you."
I'm sure they could give those same discounts over the telephone to those who represented themselves as blind: and if they then show up at the airport without a white cane, they're selected for the "extra special" body cavity search by Bubba Jones of the Transportation Safety Administration (formerly Whackinghut Security), along with having to pay the difference.
Now we'll have corporations pulling their web sites because there's some person with some disability out there who won't be able to use them, and not providing the service will cost less than settling ADA lawsuits. I certainly feel for someone who's blind, but for crying out loud, couldn't he just use the phone? That doesn't even consider the possibility of having a friend order the tickets--of course, this makes the assumption that someone who would sue over something like this has friends.
Or there's the non-conspiracy theoretic possibility that the document wasn't up long enough to get cached to begin with. Not as interesting, though, I'll admit.
Thank you! A successful MITM could be perpetrated by anyone in a position to substitute the components of the shared key: AOL, or the ISP at either end (including the carnivore box at the ISP).
And, while I'm no number theorist (or a mathematician, for that matter), I don't see any way that either end could verify the shared key was generated by his/her secret parameter without knowing the other's secret parameter, which would be as bad as sending a symmetric key in the clear, it appears. This document for illustrates the attack you described.
So what the world needs is a chat program that will still use AOL/ICQ as a transport, be easy to use, and support the use of gpg keys out of the box, it seems.
Can you elaborate or point to some more information? I use that feature (though I'm not exactly exchanging nuclear secrets with Bin Laden, it would be nice to know how secure it's not).
That's good information; didn't know ME drivers didn't need SAP to be WHQL'd. (Man, and I thought the government used some alphabet soup!)
The way things are going, this old codger is going to be enjoying a pile of old hardware, because it'll be a cold day in hell before I pay out my money to buy locked down hardware.
I suspect the location of transcripts away from the schedule printers has more to do with the security of transcript paper than with FERPA compliance concerns.
Geez. Is Vivendi paying you to astroturf for them or what? I've never seen so many IP toady posts in one thread here. If you are astroturfing, it might be a bit more believable to the hoi polloi if you change IDs now and then.
there are less phones in the U.S. than in Australia. Remember Echelon? We tap the ones in Australia (legally), then give the information to the Aussies (also legally). They do the same for us. Then both of our foreign intelligence agencies can truthfully say "We don't tap our own citizens' phones."

True, it would suck if you hadn't already standardized hardware to less than five configurations. Which we have.
. . . pours a bit of Red Bull on the side walk in memory of his homie. I hope I go down in glory like dat.
No good. Reminds them of DeCSS, which they may not know what does, but do know it is something criminal.
You went to Rolla?

And I suppose he could identify the alleged perpetrator with his good eye?
Probably because Southwest might have enough money to settle, unlike most of the other airlines.

If only the guys signing the checks thought like us . . .
Amusing, but would epilepsy not fall nicely into that category? And it'd have the happy side effect of outlawing the blink tag.

Isn't secure audio path only supported on Windows ME and later?
It was nice doing business with you.
Holy shit, dude. That's sick. Please tell me you didn't think of that yourself!
OK, so you're not astroturfing, but trolling. That, I understand.

I would upgrade to a 6809. Or better yet, a 6309. OS-9 smokes on the 6309, and the multitasking will make you never want to go back to CP/M.
