In general I've become so skeptical of anything these days due to the echo chamber of the internet bouncing around hyped, panicked stories with no followup.
I keep hearing about that thing, but I don't believe it really exists.
... of Ciara Walker, his wife at that time, which showed she was having an affair with her second husband, who once had been arrested for beating her in front of her son.
Is this a court case or an episode of Dynastic Days of Our Sons and Daughters in General City Hospital?
Indeed. The Chinese measures seem geared mostly towards stopping people (connection resets, dns poisoning, etc), whereas the US ones towards criminalizing people (logs.) Which is not to say that the Chinese would never prosecute you as a criminal, they probably will if it suits them, but it's not their default modus operandi.
Perhaps it's because when some governments go after their citizens they don't bother with niceties like 'evidence', 'logs' or even 'trials'.
And I suppose the complete absence of any mention of WinCE or Windows Mobile in the article is sheerest coincidence.
Windows was excluded because neither of the Windows users have reported any problems. Yet.
P.S. Couldn't agree more.
You reap what you sow.
Keeping your eye firmly planted on next quarter's profit margin (and the resulting bonuses) will eventually bite you in the ass.
To add insult to injury, when you click on get this animated abomination out of my way, I need to search for a file, not a bone or a chew-toy the damn thing slowly walks away, waggling its rear end in your face...
Someone taking a snapshot of me while I walk down the street is perfectly legal and fine.
Someone following me with a camera is creepy and possibly illegal.
Someone following me with a disguised camera, talking pictures while pretending to do something else?
It's all a matter of scale.
Accidentally(?) recording a few snippets of open WiFi isn't much of a problem.
Doing it globally is.
It will most likely have to be either XP or OS 10.6, with very restricted permissions to students and teachers, as that is the comfort level of IT and administration, but I'll push for whatever would benefit the students the most.
If you work in a call center then everyone will have exactly the same system, running the same software, doing the same thing with minimal privileges.
Just about anywhere else you'll get a mix of stuff, different tasks, different HW, different software, more flexibility, greater privileges.
So... unless you're training future call-center operators try to keep as much flexibility and variety as you can.
(yes, I know that's tough, especially on a limited budget)

What a joke.
What else can you expect from the geniuses that proposed the national evil filter...
I have a job where I can keep a FB window open all day in-between other activities.
...But FB isn't a "tremendous waste of time" for me.
Sounds like it's a tremendous waste of your employers time though (i.e. the time they paid you for)
Stigma? Please! Only a company which commits illegal acts would have a problem with this.
So.. How do you like working for Santa Inc.?
commits illegal acts is pretty much page unavoidable these days given the number of laws.

You need a USB cable and a PC capable of running Java.
That's it. No JTAG programmer, no EEPROM burner, no ICSP interface.
Within minutes you can control actual real-world things like you used to be able to do with a parallel port (remember those?)
Did you ever use the original Vista? Ever use Ubuntu or OSX from the same time period?
You had me a "Vista"...

So I can't see your NullPointerException.
Neither can I, now that I'm concentrating on the code rather than on my typing speed.

In other words, people don't RTFA.
In other news: water is wet, the sun it bright, the moon is round and sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.
Also, fuck dignity, it's in the name of security.
For you, today, "enhanced patdowns" don't cross the line.
Where would you have drawn that line 5 years ago?
Where will you draw it 5 years from now? 15? 50?
... that special place in hell automatically inserts bullet ants into the scrotum of anybody placed there.
What happens in the special place in hell reserved for people who perpetuate the stereotype that all IT workers have scrotums?
... by double-blind testing with fake placebos?
So unless the bad guys have malware on your phone AND on your pc, they can't steal your money.

So .... let the free market operate and we'll see what happens. TPMs are cheap. It wouldn't take much pushing.
Once you have TPM the _last_ thing you have is a free market.

Can I just scan for the evil bit instead?
