However, I don't want my ISP limiting my HTTP traffic by allowing google.com to come through unmetered, but at the same time limit money.cnn.com because Google decided to pay my ISP more.
But we can still limit *.cnn.com because at least on television, E! is now a more trustworthy and reliable source for news than CNN, and CNN is a better place for celebrity gossip than E!?
I think I speak for a lot of people who aren't fans of games that use Steam (because they're such a tremendous pain in the ass to get working on a real OS and I just don't have the time or patience for toys like Windows or pain in the ass dual booting) when I ask, "Uhh, wood for sheep? What are you talking about?"
THe real problem is that most management and large companies do not have effective project and work measurement systems and expect their employees to work like robots.
Switch "expect their employees to work like robots" with "try to hide their shortcomings by assigning themselves micromanagement busywork" and you've nailed every bad manager I've ever had the misfortune for working under. The only manager I haven't seen fall into this trap was when I was riding out the Bush Recession as a private security officer. My boss was a retired cop who, at the time I started, was a year away from retiring completely. He, in his own words, "checked out about five years ago. Oddly enough, I've been getting better performance reviews and everybody seems to have just kept doing their jobs around the time I just gave up trying to do anything."
Perhaps a lighthanded approach is something that needs to be taught in management seminars...
User-based security offers no protection against this. Instead people often install programs to limit access to, for example, network resources - a software firewall that will inspect a process to see if it's legit before letting it use the network.
Problem: Personal software firewalls are nonfunctional snake oil. You need dedicated hardware to make a firewall, otherwise it's just feel-good, do-nothing masturbation. Especially when the underlying OS wasn't designed or properly secured for use as a security device.
It's not just windows; MacOS lacks such stuff at the moment too (though it will undoubtedly be much easier to integrate into it than into Windows).
Only after Apple stops making the default user "root" and insists you create a normal account and expains the difference and the reason for the distinction in terms your typical Apple target customer would be willing to read and understand. Otherwise, MacOS is just as bad as Windows when it comes to letting anything do anything unabated.
I'm not sure that really works like you expect given that even most countries passports now use English instead of French for the common denominator language.
Shows everybody the e-mail address I registered with; whee!
And for the vast majority of users, so does Jabber. It obsoleted the commercial IM systems when that open standard was ratified last summer. The user@host format for referring to specific users isn't going away any time soon.
Likewise, you have to give someone your email address to ever receive email, and if you do that, any and all munging is rendered permanently and irrevokably useless. Get over yourself. Email addresses aren't private, please stop pretending and convincing other people otherwise. You're just giving yourself and other false hope and slowing down the rest of humanity's fight against spam, you stupid douche.
If you're so concerned your email address getting revealed, it really is time to pack up your computer back in the box it came in and send it back to the OEM for a refund.
I don't think a worm (or someone prepared to make one) is going to be afraid of the consequences, regardless of the jurisdiction.
So the user goes down for the worm. Excellent. The Internet and the world would do good if some of these unsecured morons who don't care if they're compromised because "their machine is just a home machine and doesn't have anything important on it" were in jail for their terminal moronics. While I'm no fan of MSN (it being an obsolete rival to the open IM standard of XMPP), I applaud MSN's move for making it easier for the stupid to get arrested and taken out of our misery.
Unlike making crank calls from a telephone box this is very traceable.
Want to get a cop car out to a phone box in record time? At least in Oregon, where there's E-911 and a load of idiot Californians ready to sue the emergency services for not responding to thier prank calls, just take a phone off the hook, call 911, and walk away. By law, a fire engine, a police car and an ambulance will show up if they arrive at the same time, whoever arrives first will call off the unneeded services if one arrives before the others.
I'd love to pay a little more on electric bill and get rid of my sewage costs and reduce my water needs...
You're obviously not a victim of California and their refusing to pay for the electricity they didn't pay for after they unanimously voted that they would pay for electric at any price. Electric's spendy near but not in California thanks to that fuckup. Would be nice if when California screws up, only Californians are screwed, instead of everybody in a 1000 mile radius of California that isn't in California...
But they could probably top 350 MPH if they'd ditch the CB antenna and Yosemite Sam "Back Off" mudflaps.
I don't get it. I use CB, and there's very few magnet mount antennas that won't get blown off at speeds over 65 MPH, and it took some research to find one that had a strong enough magnet to handle Oregon's highest freeway speeds (70 MPH...nobody goes faster because it's cost prohibitive to get a ticket at speeds higher than that since once you're going 70, you're probably going 15 faster than posted, and that's $500 easy).
The jump from getting everywhere on foot (or bicycle) to driving is a huge one in terms of responsibility and freedom.
From getting everywhere by foot, maybe, but not by bicycle. Anything you can get a ticket for while driving, save for driving without a seatbelt, gets enforced for bicycles as well. If you can't pass a driver's test, you probably don't belong on a bicycle, either, because you don't know the rules of the road.
Eeh, Geico wasn't cheaper for me, I saved about $300 by switching to Country Companies. Kind of a surprise was getting a membership in the Oregon Farm Bureau for Christmas from my insurance guy. I guess it's the thought that counts, I woulda rather had a membership to the local model railroad club...
Sounds like you're trying to solve the same problem X11 is designed to solve. Have you looked into getting a bunch of X terminals and one super-powerful machine?
And just you wait until those damn communist, fashist, hisbollaist, djihadist and whateverist terrorists start bombing your trains!
The terrorist strategy for trains is for high amounts of damage, and trains in North America just aren't high capacity enough for today's terrorist on the go. Plus, it's not like North America doesn't have a long and colorful history of train robberies and hijackings: Arguably, America invented rail-based terrorism and knows how to deal with it better than most countries. We've only had those running transcontinentally for ~150 years now...
And while I'm at it, I live in Japan. Do you know of a convenient way to get from there to Germany by train in less than, say, two weeks?;-)
You can get there today or you can get there without surprise security butt-secks. Pick one.
It's just bad parenting to not tell your kids what to do when they get lost or to rely on electronics like phones (which will break given enough time with any kid) instead of relying on "go hit the nearest info booth or lost and found and wait there" like normal people. I got seperated plenty of times as a kid and that never failed to work, especially at large places where Information has a PA system.
Until you can drive a car and have the possibility of being stranded somewhere, I don't think it is necessary to have a phone.
Even then, you're better off with a CB radio that can tune to 9, 17 and 19 than a phone. If emergency services isn't listening on 9, you can usually find someone nearby who can help get you help or find a phone on 17 or 19. I'd rather not give a teenager a phone and send them behind the wheel, the part of their brain that tells them not to drink, use the phone, or have distracting passengers and drive simply isn't connected yet at that age.
Probably because peak visibility of that meteor shower happens between midnight and dawn Pacific time, so most of the country had plenty of time to pull it together and drive out for an all-nighter.
...he's really on the mark. Even if he's off a bit...
Yeah! And a stopped clock is right twice a day. Unless it's a military issue or public transit clock, then only once a day.
Except the meaning of life, the universe and everything really is 42, we just don't know the question. Pacman being violent? You see worse in old Fritz Freeling cartoons.

More like $40. Money is hard to earn and easy to spend unless you actually have enough money to have a negative opinion of the capital gains tax.
I think the six trillion dollars of debt pretty much demonstrates that they're junk bonds right now.

Quit travelling transcontinentally and switch to rail. The railroads still understand customer service.
