Yup... pretty ironic
This is pretty common. I know NJ has this as well.
There is a reason. They don't want a school to buy expensive electronics, say it's "outdated" or "broken" and sell/donate it somewhere... to someone who resells it for profit, and everyone splits the income.
Once hardware is donated once or twice it's nearly impossible to track. There's a lot of room for abuse.
I agree it's immensely wasteful... but how else do you prevent computers from being incorrectly disposed of for personal gain?
Even if you require it to be 5 years old before it can be disposed of... someone will still manage to sell of parts for personal gain. That's money that really belongs to the state, and the taxpayers who get raped as is.
Sucks no matter what.
They let us tear apart older computers for a technology class to learn how they work... but couldn't give them away to lower income homes. There were literally giant closets filled floor to ceiling with old CPU's. To expensive to dispose of, to useless to do anything with... so they sat in storage.
I won't vote, so actual "worth" is technically $0.00.
That said, I still technically reserve the "right". I'll gladly give it up for $0.75 presidential, $0.25 other. That's about all the value I see in 1 vote.

That also looks like a Dreamweaver/Fireworks generated site... and we all know those products leave a few lines of JS behind. They are likely claiming copyright of that too.
OOh I'd love to see Google sue them. The <ironic/> tag would just burst with joy.
It's a clear case of negligence. At a firing time should be involved for those involved in that "investigation". To be just, jail should be involved... and not jail as seen on TV... PMITA jail. Where you get a boyfriend and everything.
As I recall it's criminal to intercept financial communications without permission from the institution.
That means, if an employee at a company that uses a BlueCoat device were to say login to a bank... the sysadmin would technically be violating the law.... unless the bank gave explicit permission (most likely would need to be in writing).
Even if you were to ban online banking in the workplace, that wouldn't change the impact on the sysadmin's libility if a user broke the rules. Go ahead, fire the employee... they just let the bank know about the security breach, and who the "hacker" was.
Seems to me like the laws may need some adjusting.
And that's why I don't login to a bank from work. I know sysadmins in many companies steal SSN's, credit card #'s, etc. by using Timbuktu, VNC, etc. as well as sniffing packets. It's just what it is. Why should I put my identity at risk? I don't see a good reason. I wait until I'm home for that. It's one thing to read an email, it's another to jack by SSN.
Isn't it ironic we're all expected to read and understand tax law (and the changes every year), yet law makers never bother to read the laws they pass?
On a sidenote, taxes are in addition to jobs. Laws ARE their job.
Figure can't hurt to load it on VMWare, or VirtualPC and take a look, perhaps learn a thing or two. Knowing a little bit about yet another OS can't be harmful (unless it's Win ME).
I guess they figure if enough people do like me, they may win some people over. Couldn't hurt.
I really find this offensive. I'm a programmer by trade, and despite working for a for-profit company, consider my trade to be part of a community of research and science (and I understand if it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have the said job). Just like medical researchers work for drug companies, they also work with academic institutions on disease research.
Censoring science for political reasons is nothing short of censorship. I'd love to see a constitutional amendment that explicitly dictates that all science with data can not be censored by any act of government. It apparently isn't covered in the first amendment, since it's not universally considered expression. Why not? Would anyone in sound mind vote for a politician who disagrees with an amendment protecting truth?
Sorry, but I value freedom of sharing knowledge and data even more than freedom of speech. Speech can be full of lies and inaccuracy's. Data is just organized facts. How is it we protect the rights of people who insist certain minorities are genetically inferior... yet we can't share data on global warming? Has the country gone mad?
I respect any scientist who continues to fight for science, research and truth. IMHO those are core values of America. We wouldn't be the country we were if it wasn't for science, research and truth. From Ben Franklyn, Thomas Edison, and Ely Whitney among many, our country was shaped by science. If it wasn't for these guys, we would have never hit the information age, or even the industrial age.
Perhaps "American Values" aren't so much about being a certain christian denomination, but about freedoms and truth? Maybe I'm nuts for suggesting that?
Like the submitter says, most countries have done this for years. This isn't a new concept (though will be marketed by the treasury dept as "innovative" and "groundbreaking").
It's kinda sad the courts need to get involved in this. I'm convinced the Treasury dept intentionally makes currency confusing, so that people (especially foreigners) need to examine it, and hence make it stick in their minds.
You know how many tourists confuse coins in the US?
You know how many Americans confuse the "dollar coin" with another coin of less value? Among other popular mistakes.
Here's a hint: just about all at one point or another.
It really is sad that our country is so behind the times... yet it bills itself as being decades ahead. What next? Affordable prescriptions?
Why? For endangering America by conspiring to cover up the weak airport security. Simply put he's trying to keep a lid on how poor security is.
If he really cared about national security, he'd be storming down the isles of the congressional chamber demanding other politicians explain why it's so easy to forge.
Instead, he wants to cover it up and punish those who try to improve national security.
He can't be this dumb, so we know he understands this is a blatant hole in national security. And his instinct is to cover it up.
Get lost congressman. Let someone who cares about real security take your seat and make the country a better place.
Lets look at the facts: 1. Spamhaus isn't in Illinois 2. Spamhaus isn't even in the US, no business presence on US territory at all. 3. Spamhaus only connection to the US is US companies utilize the service.
Based on that Illinois can only go after companies that use the database, not the provider overseas. They don't market or have any presence in the US. The court likely could go after these companies. Will they?
Now what I'd love to see is Illinois try and go after everyone in the US using the database... go ahead and try. I'll keep using it because it's a good effective database.
I've got a feeling there's money behind this ruling. It just sounds to fishy to be legitimate.
Why not consider perhaps Linux for part of the solution? Perhaps Linux based storage system, and maybe Mac / Windows workstations.
When you go 1 platform, no matter which, your limited. When you use standards between the platforms you gain a lot more. That's why you go with SMB over AppleShare for example.
Don't limit yourself to a platform. Just use things that work well together. There aren't many companies that go 100% 1 platform. Especially in media.

I wonder... would it be so hard to get either one of your employees hired by the TSA, or bribe someone working security?
Most corporate laptops have some ID on the case. Find the one for your competitor, and "inspect" it. Then hide behind the federal government.
Perfect (non-)crime!

Bend over.

Block it? Go ahead, I can always SSH in and either pine or ssh tunnel to it. Dare you to take away SSH and Port 80.

How do we know the information won't be used by terrorists? Would give a lot of insight to things like:
- line of sight
- geographic layout
- landmark references
- building type, material, possible strength
There is a possible risk to what our government calls "soft infrastructure"... IMHO.
Unless that offer was in writing, fat chance anything can be done.
Oral agreements are way to hard to enforce.
Word to the wise: never quit a job until you have your offer in writing with details of the offer to your satisfaction.
I ordered it.

This story smells.
The site author neglects to disclose a few things:
1. Are they paying taxes on the money?
2. How did they disclose their tax status to *both* donors and PayPal?
From the article, they are at fault, not paypal. It sounds like they tried to make some tax-free cash without setting up a non-profit.
So if PayPal just gave them the money, and the IRS stepped in, then PayPal would be blasted for allowing this to happen.
I'm not a fan of PayPal, but this story smells either: bogus, or skewed. Either way it's somewhat inaccurate and shouldn't be taken at face value.
They require ID so you can't resell tickets. Used to happen, no longer easy to do.
Airlines didn't like that people made profit off of their product. So they stopped it.
No secret here.

Using this precedent, businesses have no excuse for not recording all IM traffic going through their network. Most still don't.
I'd be curious to see how many days it takes until some companies and/or the government uses this to their advantage. My bet would be 14.
I prefer two methods:
1. Use a contact form. Easier since most people use webmail anyway. No copy paste for them. Also bypasses most spam filtering. Very good for everyone.
2. Email is also posted, but using JS to keep the bots away.
