The problem was the employees wanting to put their personal devices on the corporate network to surf the web. The corporate wireless network is there strictly for corporate issued machines (laptops and the occasional blackberry), not for Joe Blow's laptop, iPhone, or Galaxy. Employees were unwilling to accept that there's no good reason for their personal crap being attached to the network.
I didn't design the network, I was part of a team brought in specifically to secure it where prior to us there wasn't much of a security presence. The network was like the wild west. Before I left I did manage to deploy wireless security at one site with an eye on rolling it out everywhere with corporate being next.
I worked NetSec for a global casino/resort company. At nearly every site a few times a month I would send local IT to go find wifi routers plugged into our network. Employees would bring in cheap routers because we didn't allow wifi other than the guest network which was strictly for corporate visitors (ie. sales reps, etc) and they wanted to use their personal devices for whatever. This happened even at corporate, where I sat.
I managed to get 320x240 working on a Red Hat 6.2 VM I tried to stand up for nostalgia. Tried a variety of drivers and kept screwing around with the config but ended up just giving up. I cobbled together a P3 from parts I had laying around and installing it there.
... can run Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 without a hitch. Your hardware would have to be P3 class to have issues with Win7+, and even then there's a few upgrades that can be done to make it useable.
No, seriously upper management has ALWAYS been the bane of anything IT related. Every boneheaded request, every response of "well, why can't I do that?" or "... it would just be easier for me that way..." always comes from senior management and no matter how many times you tell them why it has to be done a certain way, they just don't get it.
I caught a VP of one of my former employers surfing tumblr for pics of women that flash their tits in public and ONLY that. He was very consistent when looking for these pics. I got wind of it when I was given access to our Solera Deep See box right after being brought in. I monitored his activity for a week then checked his past activity and, sure enough, big tits flashed in public. Used a tool to capture his IE history: Big tits flashed in public.
I've seen execs that liked to search for wierd stuff, and they're all usually very specific on what they surf for.
Many of you have probably forgotten about this incident that drew attention to the FBI's ability to turn on a phone's features even while it's off. I would assume that the two (baseband processor and "roving bug") are connected.
In 2020, I would expect nothing less than armed Mechs patrolling the streets. Not some American OCP ED-209 garbage either, no, only a sleek and shiny Gundam, Veritech, or some other type of mech will do.
I mean, Samsung is hardly the first company to release this sort of thing. Devices like the Z1 android watch have been around for some time from China for quite some time now and there's a glut of GSM based watch phones coming from there as well.
or, if your current router supports changing the MAC address do that and get a new IP. It really isn't that hard to get a new IP from your ISP without calling them up.
I don't get it. Using a video card to render without the video card? Since so many machines on the market have 2+ cores, why not write a software renderer that will sit on one of the extra cores?
A computer from 2000 would have trouble with opening the photos in a best of vacation album from a low bend camera for editing (8 megapixels is 22 mb/image).
In 1998, I ran a self built Cyrix 6x86MX PR200 based machine with a mind bending 48MB of RAM. With Win95b installed, I worked on extremely large (for the time) game backgrounds for a small startup company. I had no problems opening up files approaching or greatly exceeding the 8MP size of today's cameras. There was a lot of paging and whatnot, but it was still workable under Photoshop 4.0.
I have in service right now a Dell Optiplex GX200 w/933MHz P3 w/1GB PC800 RDRAM (built in 2000) Running Windows 7-32bit. It handles 9MP pictures nicely. thank you very much.
Recruiters are too lazy to determine whether a person who's last position as "Enterprise Data Architect" where listed skills are scoping, implementing, and managing DB2, MS SQL, and Oracle instances requested by internal clients has the skills necessary for their company's "Database Administrator" position.

Google has been revealing (via their own transparency reports) that governments want your searches, email, and whatnot that are stored on their servers. Twitter is telling people that the governments are doing the same. I don't think it'll really hit home until Facebook follows suit. Only then will people really "get it" that the government is mining the details of your online life to do whatever they want with it.
I said this before on here: Big Brother was made "cool" and the public welcomed it with open arms. In this case, FB, Twitter, and anything else on the internet along with your cellphones and now your televisions.
Every new security feature they can dream up can and will be bypassed with enough time.All they can do is build it hard enough that it takes more time to crack.
I tried to sign up for a gmail account for use with various *nix message boards maybe a month or two ago and it tried to force me to provide a phone number. There was no Captcha option when I did it. I entered my information and went to the next screen where it demanded a phone number.
There's more to it than meets the eye. I don't have a FB account, so I can't fathom why they would ask for you to include your phone number on it for any reason. I do know that Google now REQUIRES it just to open a Gmail account.
Some part of me simply doesn't trust this. We all know about correlation engines and how they work, and we know that the NSA collects and reads your emails (http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2012/sep/15/data-whistleblower-constitutional-rights). Now we add into the mix your phone number, which, as we already know is subject to warrant-less tapping (http://www.businessinsider.com/senate-renews-controversial-law-which-allows-warrantless-wiretapping-of-us-citizens-2012-12) and if the number you provides happens to belong to your cellphone, we know that it can act as a covert "roving bug" (http://yro.slashdot.org/story/06/12/02/0415209/fbi-taps-cell-phone-microphones-in-mafia-case). All of this provides more data to track you, what you do, who you interact with, who you're near at any given moment and those individuals interactions... All in the name of "keeping you/this country safe".
Finally the line "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear" can be used against law enforcement. Since law enforcement agencies across the country are adopting ever more invasive tactics to monitor citizens, it's refreshing to see that we can finally monitor them without fear of reprisal.

"Libre Office" is really clunky to say and just sounds bad. Open Office stays on my machine for the sole reason that I like the name better.

Creative Labs owns Emu and Ensoniq, not Korg. There are no CL chips in any Korg products.

I've heard some of that near verbatim from senior management whenever a new security measure is introduced.
what land is this you live in?

the ED-209 was the mech that went crazy at the beginning of the movie. The one that looks like it was the model for some of the Mechwarrior mechs.

You change the mac address by either changing the device you're using or spoofing it. The purpose being to be able to access Hulu again.
Exactly what are you getting at here???

I ended up opening a hotmail account instead.
Can anyone else outside of the US report back on this? Does Google require a phone number in your country?
There's more to it than meets the eye. I don't have a FB account, so I can't fathom why they would ask for you to include your phone number on it for any reason. I do know that Google now REQUIRES it just to open a Gmail account.
