Replaces them? I don't like FB, but I also don't see anybody seriously freaking out about what they are doing, outside of a few internet forums that most FB users don't read. People freak out and post the clickbait about Cambridge Analytica, and FB pushes the clickbait in persuit of 'engagement' (which is the real underlying issue here), and people like me laugh at their 'psychometrics' bullshit, but in the end none of us are actually going to delete accounts over any of this. I've seen a much larger portion of the userbase even more angry than this when they opened the portal to non-college students and let people make apps. That was a long time ago. This is a global site now. If every American user decided to delete facebook today, FB would lose a little under 10% of their user base. That's it. For FB to shut down, people need to be mad at them globally, or there needs to be a serious alternative. I don't see one yet.
I mean, mastadon is the closest competitor, IMHO, but they aren't ready for prime time yet. When every client is an instance, and there are a few more bells and whistles, then maybe mastadon will compete. Right now, it's a bunch of techie nerds. Nothing wrong with that. Every online community worth mentioning grew from a bunch of techie nerds like this. It just has a long way to go before it challenges facebook.
Yeah, they probably bought and/or traded information with ISPs and Google and credit agencies, and other sources I've probably never heard of. They don't need 3rd party data any more.
I would but I'm at work and my firewall won't let me get to that particular page. If I told you where I'm working you'd fall out of your chair laughing.
I'm sorry, I worded that post wrong. You put the cell phone in the fast forward cradle and all calls are routed to whatever landline is plugged into the cradle.
Cingular offers a device called a fast forward. You put the device in a cradle that connects to the landline and it automatically forwards all calls to your landline while charging your device.
If you buy all Linux systems then you will have to train your employees on linux. Just about everybody who knows how to turn a computer on knows Windows. Not to mention getting administrators with a more rare skillset is usually more expensive. I haven't checked the salaries Linux admins command but I know MCSEs are a dime a dozen. Even if they make the same you'd have to at the very least hire trainers for every single department that will be using linux.
Hey, if you can sell the idea to the bean counters more power to you but I don't think Linux will be cost effective for enterprise any time soon.
I can think of a couple of ways to make this type of communications more secure:
1. Equip the laptop with a 'detection' antenna, as it already has. This simply detects that the wearable part of the ZIA is in the area so that it knows to begin the challenge.
2. Use some of that encrypted data that was created when the computer locked up to feed into a random number generator.
3. Send the random number to the authenticating device.
4. Have the authenticating device digitally sign the randomly generated number (like PGP signature) and send it back to the laptop.
5. The laptop checks the signature and either authenticates or locks up untill somebody with the password comes along and physically types in said password.
Turning off the ZIA after a failed logon attempt will protect against repeat attacks, which is a huge part of any cryptanalysis I've ever seen.
In Pennsylvania we have anti-telemarketer laws... we have a statewide list of people that they can not call and if they do they get a heafty fine. If your state has a similar law you could reply to the message saying 'take me off your list'. If they do it again contact your DA. Hell, I'd have already contacted the DA by now.
I know, this does not work with email, but you can probably get a judge to treat this as a telemarketer call.
It's definatley not Virtual Light. Those glasses had a database of building plans for San Fransisco in them. I've read most of his books and I don't remember AR in any of them.

GoDaddy didn't reverse their position at all. They are still in support of SOPA. Here is the CEO refusing to come out against the bill:
