But they're creating that now anyway. Channels like History, Discovery and TLC have moved from their original focus to reality TV garbage.
If people really paid per channel then a channel would be much less likely to drastically change their content type in favor of another (since the former customers would likely drop the channel much quicker then they could get new customers).
Its rarely about just opening an email. Its about opening attachments in that email, or opening links that lead to sites with malware. There have been enough vulnerabilities (OS, Adobe, Java, etc.) that have been around which don't require any special privileges. Just a user to click through warning prompts.
It cannot be solely IT's responsibility - especially in this day of BYOD (Bring your own device). IT isn't always able to remove admin privileges from corporate/organization owned computers - much less the Sales guy's personal laptop.
So, in other words, it's not that different than the winter storms we regularly get out here in the Montana, Nebraska, North/South Dakota, Minnesota regions of the country where we'll have 2-4 days of gale force winds, blowing ice and/or snow, zero visibility, and 15' drifts at regular intervals? You know, the ones we'll sometimes have 2-3 times a winter.
New York City alone has almost as many people as the states you mentioned. Then add the rest of New York State, the entire eastern seaboard, parts of Canada, etc due to the massive size of this storm and you get probably 6 to 10 times the population of the states you mention. And you wonder why people make a big deal about it?
An interesting study shows how the cross-bronx expressway was almost instrumental in destroying the vibrant pre-war south bronx neighborhoods.
The Cross-Bronx is also instrumental in destroying my will to live when driving on it. Thankfully I'm rarely near there and know ways around it but if that's not the worst highway in NY, I don't want to know what is.
If they patch existing games to not use this as well, I may consider purchasing one (Heroes 6). I've held off on this purchase specifically because of this.
Exactly! Just look at how well our current regulations work in the oil, auto, loan, and investment industries to understand why intense regulation is the key to success!
You mention auto regulation. Not sure why. Cars are much safer than they have ever been, fuel efficiency is better than ever (and will continue to increase due to regulation). Cars have not increased at a faster pace then inflation. They properly regulated auto manufacturing industry is a perfect example of how things SHOULD be done.
So we have WiFi Police, and Brand Police (to protect what is really important, sponsors and their branding, even from those ungrateful unpaid athletes).
But there was a shortage in real security. Nice to see what the priorities really were for the IOC.
Though I think it is helpful when the parents know and can help the children, its more than that. Parents who help and encourage their children and create an environment where their children can succeed is more important than anything.
You can have parents who have very little formal education who can truly be great parents and can help their children do what they didn't/couldn't.
Though the patriot act had aspects that affected telecommunication, I don't see that it would be considered 'the single worst telecom bill' since its not really a telecom bill.
It's like a price on an estate: as remarkable as this is, it's only 55.3 million!
55.3 million what?? miles? not even close...
The GP was comparing the distance to the price of a luxury estate (55.3 million dollars/pounds/euro/etc). They were not saying it was 55.3 million anything in distance.
My father for YEARS drove into Manhattan for work (from the Nassau/Queens border). He only stopped driving in when he lost his parking space, more than two decades after driving in.
He was initially frustrated and annoyed since he was so used to being 'independent' and having the control a driver has. Once he actually was on the train for a few weeks he told me how he wishes he switched much earlier.
I think many of those who are opposed to public transportation really haven't taken it more than occasionally. Once you have to take it for a while you learn how to use it effectively and it really does give you more time (to read, text, plan world domination, etc.).
Yes, it is better for Google's users because they get to see referer data, probably even when they shouldn't.
Oh...you thought *you* were one of Google's users? Chances are you are product, not a customer or a user.
I know exactly who the 'product' and who the 'consumer' of Google is.
Its irrelevant to this. When traffic is HTTP or HTTPS for Google searches, Google gets that traffic either way. When the traffic is HTTPS though, that means LESS people are getting it (wireless sniffing, routers along the way, etc.) in an unencrypted format. I really could care less what information the sites I go to are missing from the search I entered that brought me to them.
Yes but what crashes? I've been running ESX on Dell's hardware for four years now. The only crashes we ever had were shortly after we started when there were some Broadcom driver bugs which caused ESX to pink screen. We're not a huge shop but over a dozen ESX servers without a crash in three + years isn't going to make this an issue for us.
Even if it is, they may be able to stop GPS from working effectively but each of these jammers is a huge beacon that says "Bomb me". You can't hide the source of a jamming signal for long.
It really is security theater now. I've had to get certs from various vendors for the.edu I work at. They need 'official' documents from 'someone important'. Like a letter on official looking letter head with a copy of a photo ID faxed to them. Yeah. Real secure. Lemme break out my copy of photoshop.
How about at the very least the verifications some sites use to show that you control a domain? For example, the CA says that in order to verify 'somesystem.somewhere.com' we're going to need you to put this arbitrary string in a TXT record on your DNS server for that host.
When setting up a domain on Google Apps or MS Live (or other places) they ask you to do this as one of the things to do to prove domain ownership. Yes - obviously if your DNS is owned this isn't a problem, but its a heck of a lot better than the process now.
SLAPP stands for Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation. Its meant to silence or intimidate critics, who may be completely accurate in what they are saying, just through legal costs. They don't even expect to go to trial, they expect to push a settlement through fear of legal costs.
Someone who wins a case against a company/individual using SLAPP tactics definitely deserves to have their legal fees paid by the 'SLAPPer'.
Beyond the straw poll thing, all this can be done with Zimbra without any problem. We did an Exchange/Outlook to Zimbra/Zimbra Web Client migration and couldn't be happier. Sync to Blackberries and other smartphones works flawlessly, shared folders/calendars, account delegation, etc - all work perfectly. All for a lot less money and headache.
If someone wanted that straw poll thing you're talking about, it would probably be trivial to implement as a Zimlet.
Slashdot Mirror
The 100 megabit figure is what they currently have, not the new network.
The summary is right, but the subject (gigabyte vs gigabit) is wrong.
This was revealed many places a while back. Dragorn of Kismet covered it back in 2010:

KeepassX in a Dropbox (or some similar sharing) folder works great. More secure encryption than Excel and better for the purpose.
Yeah - that's covered by the well known "Pay Us Moore" law.
Sure but what license are they using? I make sure all my malware is GPL3. None of that BSD licensed malware for me!

Whatever they get, they need to have vastly increased battery life over the consumer versions.
Possibly a physical switch to turn off all transmissions as well (so it can be QUICKLY turned off).

Regardless of what business sense this makes/doesn't make for Google - it is better for the users.
The more traffic is sent via HTTPS, the better. The days of concern over the CPU overhead of HTTPS are long past.

Not enough. These aren't your run of the mill D&D trolls that can be killed by fire.
Nuke from orbit to be sure.
