  1. Re:What about privacy? on Electronic Health Records Now In All US Military Hospitals · · Score: 1

    What about privacy? The patient of course has no control over where that record goes...

    Clinical data lives on multiple systems regardless of a patient's authorization to release the information to payers and other third parties. A hospital may have several clinical information systems located at third party data centers and the folks supporting of those systems may be located anywhere around the world ... same goes for the folks supporting the hardware that is running the software. Theft or misuse of clinical data can occur at multiple points.

  2. Re:The last months taught you nothing! on Electronic Health Records Now In All US Military Hospitals · · Score: 1

    There's no need to go to all the trouble of hacking. I'm sure this EMR is probably interfacing with several clinical systems that have offshore support and data management.

  10. Re:Important not not authoriative on Happy 10th Birthday To Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    My main gripe with the site is that tends to be content weighted towards hero worship of currently popular entertainers, athletes and other celebrities. Some articles read like they were written by a publicist's or agent's office and others by obsessed fans.

  16. Re:Why isn't Siemens being taken to task here? on Stuxnet Worms On · · Score: 1

    My guess, is that the tech was sold to Russian contractors who then sold and installed the tech for Iran.

  17. The IE interface has become awful on Microsoft IE Browser Share Dips Below 50% · · Score: 1

    I liked IE but it is now a clusterfuck of bad design. The icons are tiny, illegible and poorly positioned... I'm sure it can be customized but why bother when there are other browsers that do it better by default.
