If your company pays for the internet access and for the machines the employees are using to access the internet, it would be foolish to feel they have any right to privacy.
If your company pays for the telephone access and for the telephones the employees are using to access the telephone network, it would be foolish to feel they have any right to privacy.
Do you have any problems with the boss listening in on phone conversations? Or just a list of numbers dialed.
Since they both use the same codebase, I'm betting the installer isn't anywhere near finished. They're too busy working on the client to worry about the server beta right now.
I say that the server location is where courts or governments should have jurisdiction.
The problem is, most people/courts/governments are of the opinion that the server is somehow projecting out to the clients location.
Lets reverse that, and look at it as the client visiting the server. Your web client establishes a session on a foreign server, the server doesn't just randomly broadcast out data to the Internet in general. You have to take the initiative and GET the data.
I'm open to comments here. Is this a horrible idea or does it simplify the mess that we're quickly getting into?
Except for those people who bought and paid for SP1 and do not have a good fast internet connection to download the hundgreds of MBs of patches released to bring SP1 up to the current 'standard'
Even on a 28.8 modem, I think they could have downloaded all of SP2 by now, It has been available for about two years now. (I'm assuming you're familiar with the BITS, most people don't notice patches being downloaded automatically)
Besides the express installer doesn't download the entire SP, only the parts that are needed, I believe about that's about 40mb for the typical home setup.
Sorry, I should have been clearer. Escaping should have been in that list. Also I wasn't suggesting manually entering all of UTF8, ranges are fine, this is where regular expressions comes in handy.
Either way, "deny ALL, allow some" is always the most secure. After all, this is a form of a firewall.
I'm a web developer and I've said this dozens of times.
VALIDATE ALL INPUT EVERYWHERE.
Validate on the client. (For bandwidth reduction) Validate at the APP Tier (For security) Validate at the Data Tier(For security and integrity)
If you accept input from a web page, scrub it, and that doesn't mean stripping brackets or quotes, it means putting in a list of valid characters and tossing or replacing absolutely everything else.
Yes, you might wind up validating something that doesn't need to be validated or scrubbing something that doesn't need to be, the performance hit is worth it.
Also, Stored Procedures are a great resource, if you design them properly you add an extra layer of security that can actually improve your application performance. (All my recent projects have Stored Procedure execute only rights.
If your db code has select * from table in it, you're doing it wrong.
"A client must enter the Windows Disk Critical Section before calling the direct call entry point of a MRCI server. This protects the MRCI server from being reentered. Failure to do so will cause data corruption and data loss in a multitasking environment."
So basically, program according to spec or you can mess up your data. That's not a flaw, and not the MS program corrupting data, so try again.
As for your service logs where doublespace 'accidentally' corrupted a C drive, do you have a log of what the user was doing before? I'll give you a scenario.
User who has been using DOS for years always turns computer off via power switch.
Enter Doublespace and Smartdrive with write caching.
User saves large quantity of data and turns off computer via power switch. Open files are not saved, files in process of being written are corrupted.
Either you're not using your admin account, someone has manually disabled the AU policy or you need to turn on the automatic update and background intelligent transfer services.
We define those under the age of 18 as juveniles. Juveniles do not have the ability to enter into contracts, as they are still (with few exceptions) dependent on their parents. That age is well established and the same rules apply to nearly all (again, with very few exceptions) people under the age of 18. Put it very simply, they are still immature and in a protected group.
Now, The age limit as described in the article:
But the firm insisted it was not a blanket policy and claimed the guidance was to protect the elderly. A spokeswoman said: "It is not our policy to refuse business from adult customers of any age group. However, we do ask our agents to use their discretion when dealing with older customers."
That is the definition of an open ended discriminatory policy. The agent is not an experienced judge of mental fitness, nor is there any reason to infer that everyone (or even a majority of people) over 70 are not mentally fit to enter into a contract. Basically, this is a prejudicial rule that says 'I can reject anyone I want over this age for whatever reason'.
Look into XCOPY's bigger brother Robocopy. (The Robust File Copier)
It's available in the windows resource kits, which you can download the tools for Windows Server 2003 direct from MS. Just extract robocopy.exe (and robocopy.txt or doc) from it.
If, for example, a bunch of Animal rights extremists were killed while trying to bomb a building and/or commit murder, I don't think most people would care.
Now, if Amtrak could have the state and federal government run all their stations and maintain their tracks at a fraction of the cost, (Like they do with airports) then I'm betting they could turn a nice profit.
Amtrak's 'Julie' is actually one of the most advanced systems out there. It rarely misses a prompt and recovers gracefully if it does. (It even works while calling from a train doing 90mph in the middle of nowhere Iowa, that's an achievement all its own)
Between their website and voice system, there is a lot going on behind the scenes. Train travel is actually pretty difficult to book trips and maintain status, it's all the stops, and the literally hundreds of possibilities you can have for one trip.
I agree, but the scenarios you listed are not all suitable for a 16 year old.
I propose something different, community service at the local library. Not only is it a structured environment, it's an educational environment and you can think of all the paper cuts as part of the punishment.

Personally, I think there should be a day without any filters.
Just to show what a mess things would be WITHOUT any RBLs.
Sorry, doing so would violate your automatic license agreement with both Symantec and McAfee.
Just edit the registry:
n \PatchGuard\AllowRootKits
Set
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Windows\CurrentVersio
to 1
Actually, it sounds like it's still mostly Vista.

Ok, enough ranting from me.

Is the problem with Microsoft or the User?
MS products have been corrupting data esp. with respect to compression for a LONG TIME.
I've never heard of this, how about some proof?
You made a potentially libelous allegation, please back it up with some facts.
Either you're not using your admin account, someone has manually disabled the AU policy or you need to turn on the automatic update and background intelligent transfer services.
It's called CYA.
I've had locked down Windows systems running for months on end without problems or reboots.
Simply?

last time I checked a free market economy allowed a company to decide with whom they'd like to do business
This way 'no blacks' becomes 'no blacks over 70', because they're over 70 and it's OK to discriminate against them again.
What a load of crap, age prejudice is still prejudice and age discrimination is still discrimination. The company should be smacked down accordingly.

It's still true.
How many airlines are in the black for a full year? 1?
Now, imagine if JetBlue had to build and maintain its own runways. Your $200 flight to LA just became $900.
Either way, feel free to twist facts and numbers to whatever makes you happy.
Well that depends.

Good luck.

Of course the US does.
