  1. Re:Sweeeet on 10-Year-Old iTunes DRM Lawsuit Heading To Trial · · Score: 1

    Sorry, looking at another link, it is a class action suit. My error

    Well, since this does not appear to be a class action law suit, I think your kinda screwed as to getting any money.

    That said, they are basing their complaint on everyone who ever bought an iPod.. Which begs the question why its not a class action suit....

    So who knows.

    Interesting... What about all the Open SSL or SSH issues that happened this year, which in many cases were default as part of Linux servers???
    Regardless of OS, poor testing of third party apps / services or poor security as part of your deployment, can cause you to be violated. I have seen many Linux server still using Telnet or VNC for management, and allowing ROOT to login directly to them....
    Secure your environment regardless of what you run......

  4. Re:FISMA Security huh on State Department Joins NOAA, USPS In Club of Hacked Federal Agencies · · Score: 0

    I'm sorry, but are you saying that you do not want people to have Wisdom, when running this country? Experience makes you wiser. Reading a book only gives you the writer's opinion. Reading a wood working magazine may show you the 10 steps to build a cabinet, but that does not mean you can tell a master cabinet maker that they are doing it wrong because you read a book.... That's what we have by Congress telling Security personnel how to secure the network and data with all the regs like FISMA and such. Thanks for the input, but allow the people with the Wisdom to do their job....

  5. Re:USPS is not a Federal Agency on State Department Joins NOAA, USPS In Club of Hacked Federal Agencies · · Score: 0

    Sorta correct. They have to abide by many federal standards though, including Federal Holidays and things such as FISMA. I believe that they are also classified as government workers, or at least there were back in the 90's when my family worked for them. (They used to hire Marines and Army people as they left service and they got their government pension.)

    Education does not make you smart. It just means you can memorize a lot of things. Using that knowledge is where WISDOM comes in. We need Wise people in congress to make the laws. Ones who have experienced things from the beginning. Getting a CISSP when you have only done account management does not make you an expert on physical security, compliance or legal issues around security.... Experience does. How many new managers have you met, that can barely manage themselves???

  7. FISMA Security huh on State Department Joins NOAA, USPS In Club of Hacked Federal Agencies · · Score: 2, Interesting

    All of these agencies had to follow FISMA (among others regs). Perhaps its time to stop letting politicians tell us how to do security?

    I agree completely. Now they need to add some of the classic NES and SNES games. That would be awesome..

    Thought that Apple put out a Nano that could be used as a large watch years ago. Just had to get a third party band for it.

    Clearly you do not come to slashdot often. 90% of the comments are mindless and / or drivel. Even so, they typically get modded as insightful.... Regardless you must not understand that "Redundant" means that the same thing has already occurred, so unless you live in the Matrix, my point was valid and someone else was mistaken. Ah, but you posted as an AC, so who cares.

  13. Confused / Curious... on Cutting the Cord? Time Warner Loses 184,000 TV Subscribers In One Quarter · · Score: 0

    How is it cutting the cord, when in 90% of the cases, you still have a cord providing internet to your house? While I get the gist of what is being said, would not "ditching the box" be a more correct phrase?

    LOL, I got modded Redundant, in an original post I made. Someone does not know how to read time stamps. Oh well. (Likely it was an Apply fan boy who could not handle an iJoke)....

    Wow, who modded that down? Anyone forget that a decade ago that Democrats were Pro MS in schools, Reps were pro Apple.... They wanted to ban MS since it was the devil..... ugh.

    Seconded. Who cares. Its becoming a game in the High Profile sectors anymore to come out. Congrats, your gay. Bet you knew you were before you told us.... You Win..... In other news, Steve Woz has come out as being Straight. In tech news, Apple Rumors believes that Apple will soon annouce their new furniture line.. The iCoffee coffee table replacement, the iSofa with fold out iMac, and the iGay a specially designed end table from Tim Cook. Speculation is that Tim Cook is jealous that Steve Jobs designed the iPhone. In Science news, Steve Jobs and risen from the grave, and announced that he new Tim Cook was gay, and has already patented the iCoffee, the iSofa and the iGay.

    Interesting View. I think the "common sense" teachings have gone by the wayside of late. That or people are much more hypocritical than in the past. Just my two cents.
