Do not allow IP view from one workstation to other. No workstation should see each other on IP. Each one should see only the server.
And gods help you if that server ever goes down. Isn't that why businesses either (a) didn't adopt or (b) moved away from star topology in the first place?
What about mass effect 1 the anti-gravity at the end with the geth/dead bodies floating and flailing around, not cool at all?
I thought that was a feature. Gravity on the Presidium was 0.3G, and you're fighting on the outside of the station, so nailing a geth or krogan with high-powered biotics might be enough to accelerate it to escape velocity.
But it's exactly what happened. The military's "surrendering" because they've lost the battle -- they let social media get so far ahead of them that public affairs offices can't do their jobs. What do you tell the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs when your "network security" policies keep him from communicating with his troops in the manner of his choosing? What do you tell the grunt on the ground who can't get to his base's "official" Facebook page for no other reason than, "Well, those are the rules."
... states make millions of dollars each year on people who can't do math, i.e., lotteries. Not sure what the point of this article is; are we supposed to hate Google for making money off dumb people?
I'm glad that the Slashdot editors are adamently in support of something that IMO needs to be supported, but how is filing a motion newsworthy in any way? Now, if the court agrees to the motion, that'd be different... wake me up then. Otherwise, let people publish this sort of "news" to PRNewsWire and their ilk.
Why allow software to be patented instead of copyrighted?
Copyright doesn't fit software any better than it would a mathematical proof, since they're essentially the same thing. Software is a means to solve a problem -- I daresay if someone comes up with a unique way of solving a particular problem, they should be granted a patent. But that doesn't mean that someone should be given a patent on every way of solving a particular problem.
Not surprised at all the typical slashdot anti-law enforcement rhetoric in here... especially all of the "innocent people will be saved!" statements. But I *am* a bit surprised that some of the commenters have said what they have. Do this many people really not want truly guilty people caught and prosecuted?
I suspect your average Slashdotter is more concerned with the Fourth Amendment rights that prosecutors as a whole like to ignore when they're trying to build a case against someone who's alleged to have committed a crime.
what exactly is the fucking point over a lawsuit to prove that one of the most secretive components of our Government actually saved data that is very well likely to be CLASSIFIED to begin with? Did these groups or the lawyers actually think they were going to be allowed to see the "hard evidence" of this? Give me a fucking break.
Your post, sir/ma'am, is full of fail.
If we were talking about e-mails on a classified network, then the data would be gone. The process for cleaning a hard drive of classified information is to randomly overwrite the HDD with random bits no fewer than five times... and then degauss the son of a bitch.
Now, if we were talking about classified information on an unclassified system, that's practically a cyber-oil spill, and I imagine the press would have been all over it.
So, no. We're talking about information that's maybe For Official Use Only or Law Enforcement Sensitive. And the more of it the American public gets to see, the better.
That's exactly my point. And our generation did just fine, didn't we?
A high-schooler without a cell phone may have an educational disadvantage, as well as being socially screwed.
Have kids forgotten how to meet after class, or during lunchtime, or even between periods? And if kids are arranging study groups, mightn't they be in some of the same classes?
What I'm saying is that no, there is no actual need for students to have cell phones at any age. The previous generations did just fine without them, and this generation could adjust. About the only "need" involves helicopter parents who have to know where their children are at all times.
But where are the front lines on the Global War on Terror(TM)? No, I don't agree with that reasoning, but given the spurious shit that our government has done in the name of national security, don't be surprised to see that argument come from a government spokesperson.
I really, really wish "Kids don't need cell phones" was true. And it may be that it is some places. Unfortunately, it also seems that it is a real need in some places: Lacking a cell phone will totally cut the kid off from their social circle, because very large parts of communication goes by SMS.
I graduated from high school 17 years ago and didn't get a cell phone until five years ago. Worked fine for me. Maybe if kids didn't have such easy access to cell phones, they'd spend a bit more school time actually learning.
Some people are still under the misguided notion that we don't have to make such choices, that we can just do both. That's one of our problems with science initiatives today. We're trying to do everything, and we end up half-assing it all and nothing gets done.
Can't we, though? NASA's 2008 budget was about $17 billion -- less than we spent in three weeks in Iraq the same year.
Did the account set up on Vista / Win7 have an administrator role, or was it a "normal user" account? By not disclosing that, Wisniewski is only giving us half the story.

My first choice for career was theology, and I have a Ph.D. in New Testament. So I've given this a bit of thought.
I'm going to guess that you also have a minor in understatement? :)
Well, they weren't doing this, so I didn't really pay too much attention ...

That's because Slashdot isn't blocked (at least, not on Air Force networks).
I don't know what game you were playing -- Call to Power, maybe? -- but that sounds nothing like any version of Civ I've ever played.

"Microsoft has revealed that it RickRolled users that were killing its TechEd conference WiFi network last year ....
Whoosh!
And, as you sort of pointed out, it's not even privacy unless the photographer develops his own film.
If you can dodge a class action lawsuit, you can dodge a ball.
But can you dodge a chair?

So, kinda like the government doing Duke Nukem Forever, then?

They have the military. Just ask anyone who was in the military in the '90s.
He isn't a "Congressman". He is a former member of the South Dakota House of Representatives, which would make him a former state legislator.
You're new here, aren't ... looks at the UID nevermind.

No high-schooler had a cell phone 17 years ago.

Are you kidding? That thing can't even stand up to a bird with a bagel.
It was a baguette, you insensitive clod!

You mean like this little guy?
