Didnt CA recently pass a law requiring disclosure of breaches involving CA residents? Anyone know if this applies here? Are Axcion's client companies mandated to contact their clients, and so on down the tree?
I'm not in CA, but there's a strong liklihood someone from CA had data in this system.
i'd completely forgotten I had asked the question that i did, and that it got sent to the interviewee. thinking back, it's amazing how some of my own views have changed since my posting that question.

All your base are belong to the girls
are you just figuring that out for the first time?
one of the comparisons I've heard about IPv6 is "An IP address for every grain of sand"
methinks that a 256 bit address space may still not be enough should an inter-galactic internet become mainstream. then again, latency times in terms of hundreds of years may be a big turnoff for some web surfers.
i think there are plenty of other things going on here, and I think it's good you raised the right questions.
I use Verizon and in PA. We just got a notice in the mail a few weeks back saying our DSL monthly is going down (yes - down) in cost. I dont know if this was a factor or not, but I wouldnt be surprised.
identical twins have identical DNA. But they're rare and if something were to happen, one may be able to come up with an alibi, or convince the other into confessing. Plus there may be other evidence at the scene linking one and not the other.
DNA tests, however, require multiple tests to validate accuracy and prevent errors. Contamination or decay of the sample may actually cause the DNA test to not be valid to begin with, or make it obvious to the technician that any test would be inconclusive.
not only that, but DNA has also exonerated many over the years. this week I saw something on Discovery Channel where a guy was locked up for 16 years for raping and nearly killing his wife. (the crime happened in the late 70's, long before DNA testing) He got jailed on his wife's testimony that he was the one who attacked him.
He got offered parole many times, but refused their requirement of confessing the crime. (That's another major problem for another discussion - a real crook can confess and get paroled while an innocent who remains adamant stays locked up)
He eventually found a lawyer who got the DNA tested, and the match was indeed negative. The state ran the DNA through their DB of previously convicted sex offenders, and found their man. He was already serving time for a whole series of rapes/murders in the same jail.
The wife got confused because the room was dark when it happened, and the two men bore similar appearances under that kind of lighting.
since you apparently appear to one who knows, what exactly is the deal with OT change? I've attempted to follow it in the news, but all they are saying are stuff like "the rules are changing" or "it means less OT" without exactly explaining how. Care to shed some light on the subject?
AV firms are probably giving that virus a low rating because it lacks damage to the actual computer, meaning it doesnt delete/corrupt data. I think AV companies need to add a "Societal Threat:" field to viruses. In which case sobig is "highly dangerous."

ok genius, prove it.
class foo {
public static final ing A_CONST = 1234; }
class bar {
public static void main (String[] args)
{
System.out.println(foo.A_CONST);
} }
Place each class in it's own file. Compile each into class files. Change the value of A_CONST, and recompile foo only. If you were to run this, what's the output of and why? Explain in detail. Honor system will be used to ensure you use no references or actual hand testing of this code.
but there are various types of color blindness. Different people have different impairments. these pictures are a common example. if a person is color blind to one of those sets of colors, the number in those circles will be not be visible to them. (disclaimer: IANAED. I am not an eye doctor)
I've put some thought into that statement "digital pearl harbor". Most people equate "cyberterror" with the idea that a terrorist might shut down a power grid, phone system, etc.
But we've had examples in the past of the power grid going down on a large scale (most of the northeastern US, including NYC, something like 30 years ago) and significant problems with the phone system (AT&T Long Distance outage). Both were thought to be malicious acts (the Russians and "the bomb" were initially accused of the power problems, hackers the AT&T outage) at first. But both were actually caused by bugs/glitches in the systems themselves, and were resolved shortly thereafter.
These two examples seem consistent with Bruce Schneir's explanation of how such outages are only temporary, and how its much easier for a terrorist to bomb a power plant or phone switching station rather than hack into it.
I have no experience whatsoever with SEVIS, but here a few tips I can think of on the fly:
-Xerox'd copies of any forms you've filled out related to all this. Carry these with you on the plane in carry-on luggage.
-Ask your advisor for a hard-copy listing of all the data that will be entered into the SEVIS system related to you.
-Consider having a letter written and signed by the advisor that entered your data into SEVIS, indicating what he/she has done. Also consider getting that advisor's office and home phone numbers in the event something goes wrong outside the 9-5 timeframe. Again, carry-on it.
-Call your advisor from Australia and ask that he/she check to ensure that your data is in the system before you leave.
There are probably a bunch of other things you can do, but the point I'm getting at is that you should try to cover all your bases and double check everything. Yeah, it's unfortunate you have to do this s---, but it might be the only way to prevent yourself from too much hassle.
I thikn you are correct. They even published a statement some years ago saying they were giving up on trying to change. The rationale being that most people knew and were aware of the distinction.
while you're at it, try spreading around this link as well. It's two papers about setting the record straight regarding the TCPA and Palladium, and includes a link to IBM's Linux driver for their TCPA chip.
(as for that guy posting under the name Alsee, who said you're just plain wrong, ignore him. if you look through his other recent posts under this article, you'll see he doesnt get it)
would you just shut your trap? I've counted at least four (yes, 4) posts of yours (yes, you, Alsee) that gets it completely wrong.
you even cited an IBM paper arguing in favor of TCPA, and that paper includes a section on "What TCPA is not", specifically arguing that TCPA is a lousy choice upon which a developer could build DRM.
i prefer this link instead. it has that same why_tcpa paper, and a "tcpa misinformation rebuttal" paper that is very good as well.
you seem to think that tcpa == drm. it aint. microsoft's interpretation of the tcpa == drm, but not the real world's interpretation. you'll see that in the misinformation paper.

Red Hat 7.3 --- Lousy video and graphics (buggy driver, SiS 6326), decent audio.
Red Hat 8.0 --- Excellent video (I assume the bug was fixed), no sound. Attempted to configure audio driver, no luck.
That's about it for my complaints.

yes, IBM released a TCPA driver for linux. http://www.research.ibm.com/gsal/tcpa/
There's also some other papers at that link which describe exactly what TCPA is and isn't. Among the isn'ts are DRM.
