  1. Any work wifi network should be secured with WPA2ENT using id/pw or certificates for access to the wifi LAN. I seriously doubt these devices will have support for anything more than PSK or the auto-configure 'thing' that consumer routers are coming with now.

    Seriously.... what kind of IT would let that happen?

  2. Why all the hate? on Star Wars Pulls In $1 Billion At Record Speed (reuters.com) · · Score: 0

    I thought it was a good movie. Action, some drama, hell we at least get some 'character' in the characters this time.
    Even my wife liked it.

    It was just fun...

    And star wars was never science fiction, it was always science fantasy.

  3. I am embarrassed for this country sometimes.

  4. this is why on TSA Body Scanner Opt-out No Longer Guaranteed (slashgear.com) · · Score: 1

    This is why I haven't flown anywhere in 15 years. This shit right here.

    I'll just drive wherever I want to go in the US and sail anywhere else....

    I will not let TSA grope me or my family to get on a plane.
    I will not let TSA irradiate me with machines that were forced into use by the same Senator who owned a healthy share of the company that manufactured them.
    I will not let TSA take my personal laptop or electronics because I won't give them the passwords to 'look through them'.

    Seriously, Fuck the TSA and this whole thing.

    I drive, and can see the sights along the way.
    I sail, and can enjoy the ocean and get a new experience.

    For those that say they have no time.... You should make the tme and stop taking everything so seriously.... no one gets out of here alive.

    For companies, 'leasing' an item as a service has pros compared to purchasing a product outright and depreciating it over 3 years.

    So, yes, for companies, leases are better than purchases.

    ... embarrassing a large corporation by showing how easy it was to bypass security and releasing the proof to the media.

    We can't have large corporations' money flows placed at risk now.....

  7. For me, it's the whole 'flat' look that everyone and their mothers are implementing. I can't stand it. I'll pass on an application just because it has this design.

  8. Calm down now on Twitter Testing Non-Chronological Timelines (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    What did all you twitter people think was going to happen to a free site? They have to make money somehow, and putting 'top stories' in front of your eyes is a good way of doing that.

    So don't get all your panties in a bunch.

    Those of us who never used twitter don't care.

    Those who do, if it matters, then find another mass social media 'thing'.

    Remember, twitter doesn't 'belong to the world', it belongs to twitter and they can do what they want with their systems.

  9. So.... on New Anti-Piracy Law In Australia Already Being Abused (abc.net.au) · · Score: 2

    If I am an Australian PC Maker, I should quickly form a company under a shell corp, register www.dwell.com, then file a claim against Dell stating they are infringing on my name and block access to the site.....

    Just brilliant.

    Because that would require regulation, and the GOP will not pass new regulations for fear of looking like 'big government' and giving their tea party opponents fuel to get them replaced in office with more 'conservative' people.

  12. Most, non-technical people simply do not understand the implications of using those 'reward cards' linked to credit cards, posting your entire life on facebook, allowing your phone to know your location 24/7, letting your car manufacturer sell you all those flatscreen gadgets, etc...

    I spent the 1st 30 years of my life without a phone in my pocket and did just fine. The only reason I have one know is because my 'job' forces me to carry one.

  16. dont forget on If You're Not Paranoid About Your Privacy, You're Crazy (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    Don't forget that no matter how careful you are with your privacy, not using google services, not using facebook, not posting photos, not having an online social media presense, all it takes is someone you know to save your contact info on their phone and sync it with google, now they have your confirmed email, name, number, and address. All it takes is 1 'friend' to upload a photo with you in it to facebook and tag your face with a name/email.... now facebook has you too. And so on....

    You can control your own info, but you can't force everyone else you know to do the same.

    When I'm 60, I'm retiring to a cabin ala Walden. Fuck this technology.

  17. IF it would ever get to trail since the contract states you agree to arbitration for everything.

    So a social media site that everyone thinks they are 'entitled' to is monetizing the service to pay the bills. If everyone jumps ship, then it fails, so what. I'm waiting for all social media like this to fade into obscurity like the pet rock.

    Problem is, while people like us understand what's going on here, the other 95% of the population only see's that their facebook isn't loading. To them, it broke VPN.
