My company just bought some silly "VPN" ActiveX control suite for remote access--it somehow takes over your network stack and does something to only allow connections into the company's network from your computer, "for security". (My colleague said something about changing MTUs, but I think that's only part of it.)
So this already exists.
Of course, it doesn't work with GNU/Linux, so I just kinda chuckled and went back to using the dedicated terminal server.
What I think is hilarious is that a worm-infected machine can still access the internal network for purposes of spreading infection.
Verizon and Google--unstoppable force meets immovable object. I think Google will lose here, simply because Verizon locks their phones down too tightly. (A lot of Verizon RAZR owners flash with AllTel firmware just to get their phone in an "unbrokeass" state.)
Kudos to Google for trying to force open the tight walled gardens that the US Mobile Carriers have built, but they will most likely fail.
I think I'll stick with the OpenMoko on a regional carrier, or maybe Helios or T-Mobile--that seems to be the most Open option for those of us who care about such things. I haven't fully researched the best carrier.
I just got two Thinkpads at auction I wanted to put Ubuntu on. Launchpad is hit so hard I can't even subscribe to the bug to search for potential workarounds or better settings.:(
Was trying to grab the Gobuntu alternate--and the sad thing that the straight download was going faster than the torrent, at least for a while (mirror servers are hit hard.)
Either way I've never had this much trouble with the service. Comcast is really putting the squeeze on.
I have only ideas of the Microsoft corporate culture.
At some point, I heard that a lot of developers would rather use actual open standards than Microsoft pseudo-standards but have no choice if they want to keep their jobs. Perhaps you and a lot of the other developers can get some momentum behind that idea in upper management?
Wait. Who am I kidding?
I like to hope, and have faith in humanity, but my cynicism over Microsoft's bad behaviors is too entrenched. Microsoft will have to be dragged kicking and screaming into using a standard they didn't invent.
"If you're an administrator, then you definitely have a lot more to look forward to when it comes to SP1. One thing that caught my eye was the additional ability in BitLocker to encrypt extra local volumes. Many enterprises still partition their workstations and laptops into a C and D drive. Since users are usually instructed to use the D drive to store their data, this means data was at risk if the enterprise also used BitLocker as a security measure, since D couldn't be previously encrypted."
Either you are a troll who has successfully mastered the ad hominem attack, or you're unable to handle the cognitive dissonance of the following situation:
If the GP disagrees with they way with which WFI goes about spreading their message, it does not neccesarily imply that the GP disagrees with the message itself.
Either way, learn to think critically before making posts on Slashdot in the future, please.
Best DRM analogy I've seen in a long time. I'd like to quote you in explaining to people why DRM is a problem. Mind if I forward your comment ot the Defective By Design mailing list?

Leave me alone, I'm trying to save sick children in Africa!

(Yes, I know they wouldn't be using actual sperm, merely copying it. But it's still a funny mental image.)
T-Mobile seems to allow unlocked phones...so why get a bundled one?
Only because it's cheaper, I guess.

Illegally.

But you know where the shift key is, and you placed your apostrophes correctly.

There goes the side jobs. I mean there's always under-the-table work, but now I need a Tax Id just to remove spyware.
Yay Maryland!
At least I can vote to remove these losers.
Seriously, TFA refers to it as an illegal exploit.
No no. It's merely against the license agreement, and is at the most unlawful.
I won't.

And they fail because of Laches--they sat around and let their invention be used without defending it.
Dude, you can use ^W to nuke the entire word instead of ^H to delete each letter.
:)
Seriously.
gcc -o hallo hello.c
I think you have a problem with that log.
That's a relatively new development. Express Editions are crippled and I don't remember seeing them before 2005.
However, loss of license isn't the same as incriminating yourself. (However in terms of effect it's still pretty inconvenient.)
A sneaky way around the issue.

Wait. Only C: could be locked? Full of fail.

Why is Hardy now the LTS distro? Or are both supported?
My ears clip so bad I hear STATIC at those concerts. So I don't go. It's a shame, I suppose, but you can always sit further back with binoculars.
Just because something has a bug doesn't mean it wouldn't run out of the box once the bug is fixed.
It just means you have a little more power without delving into the code of making that bug GET fixed.

What's to stop a farm of leech-bots to download all the tracks listed for free to drive up the price?
Especially if those leechbots were run by the copyright holders?
Can be done with a command line too:
fsutil behavior set disablelastaccess 1
