This security survey from informationweek (registration required) said the same thing. Worse, when you get into the report, few companies are acutally using encryption for back-ups and think physical access control is good enough.
It's a mess out there kids and not getting any better.
I had always assumed that everyone paid for their interconnects, upstream and downstream, and thus the pipes were paid for.
In "peering" as described in the article. Does that mean the cost and monthly fees for the physical interconnect are free or does "peering" mean only the capacity used is free, but someone still pays for the physical plant.
There was some particular quality to the writing in Cryptonomicon
What worked on Cryptonomicon is that you got to know and feel for the characters. I too slogged through Quicksilver that had all the life of a card board box. I didn't bother with the rest.
I have read most of his other work and Cryptonomicon is his best work.
No, it is not fall out from 9/11. This has been the case for years and years. I was working for a video company back in the 80's. We had kiosks on food stores. I went in to take pictures of our kiosk and spent a rather fun 30 minutes placating some really freaked out managers.

You've ignored the fact that for any two tools to work together, their assumptions about the structure with which data is encoded over the stream have to match.
Dude, it is upto the programmer to format the data properly, including any escaping when piping strings from one proggie to another.
Shell scripts aren't supposed to replace more robust programming languages. I think it silly to want to parse XML via shell scripts, BUT, a shell script could pull useful data from an XML file.
So let me state the obvious, find the right tool for the job rather than thinking everyones tries to shoe horn everything into the same tool.
Depends on the town and center, but yes, for electronic gear recycling aimed at consumers, the consumer pays a fee. Where I live, not only do you have to take your hazardous stuff like electronics and paint to a special location, you have to make an appointment and pay a fee. The only other option is illegal dumping.
Companies can use a recycling service (because of the volume) where the recyclers picks the crap up for free, sells it, then tosses a percentage back to the company.
There's a new reason to hope that the no-cell-chatter bill now under consideration in the US doesn't bring with it a Faraday-cage mandate, and that reason is landing safely.
I hope this law never gets passed and I don't care what lie the gov't has to tell to keep cell phones turned off. Planes are already noisy. People who talk on cell phones talk LOUDLY. Add a lot of people in a noisy environment all talking at the same time, and that makes for a lot of noise.
Shopping local means buying things that are made locally, not sold locally.
It also means buying from shops that are run by locals. I can't buy shoes made locally because there are no local shoe factories. I can, however, buy from a shoe store owned and operated by a local citizen.
Silly button, no reasonable person argues Windows insecurity is due solely to it's popularity. The scrutiny it receives (compared to the lesser scrutiny other OS's receive/received), and has received in the past, is the reason so many are *found*. Obviously, the vulnerabilities have to be there in the first place.
What is not known is if other OS's became as popular, if they would receive as much scrutiny.
Let me be the first to point out that in addition to the cost of Windows Vista and Server, you still have to pay for support, doncha?
However, you make a good point. If the price of Linux is more than the price of Windows (not including ancillary costs like training, software licenses, longer maintenance periods during the honeymoon period, etc), why switch indeed? If you are a savvy linux admin, the switch might be more compelling to you.
If anyone marks your comment as flamebait, then they are simply bigots.
Adapt implies "behind the curve." Something has to change before a thing can adapt.
IBM doesn't stay ahead at all. They have learned to, as you say, adapt to market forces. How much leverage they actually have, however, is another matter.
Falcon 3/4 was similar. A real-time simulator where you taxied, flew through way points, completed your engagement, and then flew home. Often times without incident.
While you could set-up the mission to start closer to your goal, I always liked flying the whole thing. It gave me time to plan, think about my strategies, take in what was going in around me, and if I was running a mission deep in enemy territory, I would have to dodge SAMs and CAPs.
You have to be *really* into the SIM to like real-time, though.
What you are doing is not very modular and would be difficult to modify at a later date. Yes, you can use Photoshop for small sites that won't change often, but for anything with even simple dynamism, static publishers like that are difficult.
I hear you on using tables for placement. Heck, alot of sites still do because there is no question how tables are rendered, but from a development perspective, tables and nested tables are a bitch to maintain.
You can do all that stuff with CSS, easier once you learn it and it's tweaks.
I do alot of development with php, so keeping the HTML light and using CSS for styling makes perfect sense. I don't fully understand MVC, so I can't say I have gone that far, but once you learn to seperate content from layout, maintenance is so much more efficient.
Also, in professional shop, you often have a dev team and a design team. Using HTML for mark-up and CSS for styling lets each team work more or less independently. So there are lots of reasons to use CSS.
The ultimate CSS reference is Google. Just follow their search results and not their example.
Providing you know the magic search string that leads you do the answer you need. I had a problem with floating divs in IE last week-end. I searched and came acorss some answers related to "has Layout", but none of those suggestions worked.
Search engines are a wonderful thing, but they aren't the magic bullet you are asserting.
to make a stick to beat the web browser architects to sit down in a fricking room and decide once and for all how all this stuff (HTML, XHTML, CSS, etc) will be processed?
I spent the better part of an hour trying to figure out why three divs wouldn't float left properly. Divs worked find in FF and Opera, but not in IE. After searching Google (to no avail, there), I ended up fixing the lowest divs width to a fixed pixel size just to spread it far enough to move it to the proper position. yay.
I am sure FF and Opera have weirdnesses of their own, so this isn't a Microsoft bash.
All browsers post a warning when a self-signed certificate that is not imported into the local certificate store is used. This is NOT a firefox problem.
You WANT to be warned when you have a self-signed certificate thrown at you. Let's say https://example.com/ has a trusted certificate (trusted meaning the signing CA or the self-signed cert is in the local store). If you get a self-signed warning, then you *know* there is a problem.
Don't confuse using force to subdue a violent person at a public venue with using undue force. I have been to clubs, raves, concerts, protest rallies, ball games, and other public gatherings. I have not seen the police use undue force. Meaning, when someone gets out of hand, the police/security subdued the person by immobilizing them, usually with a pile, cuffing, and moving the person out of the way.
In the cases where I have seen police use batons or tasers, the person was striking out violently. That seems justified (or more justifiable).
Of course abuse happens, maybe more often then we see on the news because victims don't report it (fear of reprisal), but it is not, I believe, a common occurrence.
And people in authority who abuse their authority, should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
The OS in this role sinks to the level of what the BIOS is today - essential but unnoticed.
This would be an engineering feat worthy of study. A truly thin OS that offered access to hardware and provided th GUI primitives + modular applications that only loaded the necessary components quickly on demand. The key is thin.
Similarly, there are plenty of schools out there that seem to exist so that young 20s males can beat the crap out of each other.
I love fighting the 20 somethings. I am 40 something and three years into Go-Jyu-Ryu. The 20 somethings are into high kicks. I can get my foot up to my chest in a front kick and the stomach in a round house (though it's slow cause it's at the end of my range).
But in sparring, I check the hip movement and when their leg comes up, I just drive in with hands. Defeats them every time. Once they catch on, though, I have a tougher battle.
You can get a kayak for around $700 and roof racks range from $20 foam blocks to $600 for a Yakima or Thule rig. You can build a really sweet kayak for about $1000.
Now on Kayaking. Paddling properly will exercise your core. You should take an intro lesson from a certified BCU or ACA coach to get proper form.
It works like this. Hold your arms out straight, slightly below your shoulders and a slight bend in your elbows. Twist your body from the trunk to the shoulders) so one arm is out in front. Stick the blade in the water and think about *pulling your body to the blade* by twisting in the opposite direction (unwinding), keeping your arms in a fixed position, and press with the paddle side foot. The paddle and your shoulders should be parallel during the stroke. When the blade reaches your waist, pull it straight up and out of the water, complete the twist and sink the other blade in and repeat.
Sweep turns and corrective strokes are done the same way, but your making more of an arc through the water and extending the paddle out from the kayak.
You are using your core to move you through the water rather than your arms which is far more efficient. You can go a longer distance at a steady pace. Your arms will simply give out sooner.
Oh, and never kayak alone. Many of the stories you hear about people dying start out with "It was a sunny day and Bob went out on a solo paddle..."
It means that as a company located and doing business in the US, it has to follow the local laws. It does not matter that the website is translated into multiple languages.

Yes, flame bait. But it is also a valid interpretation of the commercial that can argued for quite effectively.
I just laughed my ass off though because it was funny.
