Don't forget defamation, and anything else that a good attorney can come up with.
I wonder if the EFF has gotten involved yet? This is a good example of why they exist. Not that anyone will shut down HBO, but make it hurt and make it as public as possible so even the common non techie man on the street can see and understand what is going on.
Thats nice. It had nothing to do with my comment. ( and yes, i was around back then i actually do know what happened. but again, its not relevant to my comment )
In the old days it was 'news for nerds, stuff that matters'. Sure that might have *implied* technology and often was, but the charter did not explicitly say this, the key was 'stuff that matters'. And regardless of the 'nerd' angle, this "social science stuff "matters to you more than you realize unless you live in the woods under a rock.
Its not our fault you are stupid ( i could call you a racist like the media would, but you understand my point ).
All that aside, i don't see that tag line being declared here anymore, do you?
If its used right, cloud storage isn't *evil*, but there are still some hurdles that need to be overcome:
Universal data. Spotty ( and expensive ) coverage makes it less attractive. Use cloud and burn your bandwidth caps. Mobile, good luck getting 100% connectivity.
Monthly costs to keep your data there. A PC hard disk doesn't cost you more after the purchase..
Single vendor point of failure. A distributed non-vendor share would be good.
Encryption. Everything has to be encrypted. Even your grocery list.
Having someone else deal with the hardware, backups, upgrades, bla bla, *is* an advantage. Plus you magically get your data on all your devices, without having to futz around with creating your own server at home, currently way beyond the average Joe. ( and most likely violate your ISPs TOS )
If its all encrypted its safe, but i agree it could be a bad day when they decide to ransom your data with higher prices down the road. It also sux when you are off-line and want a file.
I prefer not to have a monthly bill to access my stuff. ( sure, you could depreciate out your hard drives and come up with a "monthly equivalent", but still.. )
Great idea, so next we need to list all adult males, as they potentially could be a pedophile. Anyone that purchases alcohol, as they might be a drunk that is going to get in their car.. Or a woman that buys Midol, well, just because..
Yup. I remember having an OS, GUI, and all apps i needed that came in under 5mb. And while it may not have been as 'pretty' as we have now, it ran just fine on the hardware of the day and got the job done.
1 - Reload all computers that come in the door with *your* load. 2 - Lock down hardware to prevent things like USB from working 3 - GPO ( or equivalent on *nix).. Lock down the OS users dont need to be installing things. that's your job. 4 - Monitor monitor monitor... Both at the PC level and network. 5 - No BYOD..

Ya, and also while we may not like them, they aren't exactly falling on hard times either.
Why not?
For now.
Right, i was meaning client side encryption.

No matter what you are doing with a DB i would say understanding normalization is the important thing.
Oh, and Oracle.
Much like MS can afford to introduce something that is a loss at first, Google can too.
They see a long term plan for these as more and more people move into the 'media consumption' arena, but still want an attached keyboard.
Personally i'm glad we have more ARM options.. i'm tired of x86.
There goes the package i was waiting on..
I don't like Gates anymore than the next guy, but hes not there anymore, or have you heard?

Cloud has its place.. it really does.

Pay changes/enrollments should just be data, not lines of code. Can't imagine even the most green of developer would screw up that bad.
It really does not take 7M lines of code to do this. ( will be a huge database, but not code base )
Great idea, so next we need to list all adult males, as they potentially could be a pedophile. Anyone that purchases alcohol, as they might be a drunk that is going to get in their car.. Or a woman that buys Midol, well, just because..
What idiots. What an invasion of privacy.
There were other options than DOS back then too.
TOS+GEM for one.
But, we did have DesqView for DOS in that timeframe.. ( Or DesqviewX if you wanted something a bit prettier, and network friendly )
Yup. I remember having an OS, GUI, and all apps i needed that came in under 5mb. And while it may not have been as 'pretty' as we have now, it ran just fine on the hardware of the day and got the job done.
That people with issues seek out ways to numb themselves from them and not even know it?
Kidding aside, i'm impressed that they were not just doing a 'study' to push an agenda. that is far too common these days.
No, but the execution by the movie producers have failed.
1 - Reload all computers that come in the door with *your* load. .. Lock down the OS users dont need to be installing things. that's your job.
2 - Lock down hardware to prevent things like USB from working
3 - GPO ( or equivalent on *nix)
4 - Monitor monitor monitor... Both at the PC level and network.
5 - No BYOD..
Isn't 'bad', as if you dont grab a piece quick enough, you get no pie.
Ever think of plugging a mouse and keyboard into a tablet for those few times you need them? ( or bluetooth )
If you need a keyboard all the time, then a tablet isnt what you need in the first place. Which is fine. Everyone has different needs.
No, we should strive to be better than the other side. Not to come down to their level.
Works for me, we dont want your pansy ass in our area anyway.
