We didn't have snapchat (or much in the way of internet) at that age. We did have adult magazines "borrowed" from our parents drawers, which we shared with others of our age. I'm pretty sure these days they could hit you with some charge of corrupting a minor for sharing said material.
Either a) At 14 he's a child enough that he shouldn't be facing (long-term life-damaging) adult consequences for his actions or b) At 14 he's adult enough to face such consequences. However then he's an adult and therefore the pictures shouldn't be considered underage.
Essentially, they're considering him under-age for the purpose of posting pictures, but of-age for the purpose of being charged/registered. What a crock.
I looked at what one could do when winning the various lotteries. Over $50m, and even if you're only making 1% interest on the principal, you're still raking in $500k+/year (pre-tax). Given a diversified and fairly low-moderate risk portfolio, I'd imagine that 1% isn't a particularly high number to aim for, so let's say 2%, or roughly a million a year (in INTEREST, never touching the principal)
That still gives me a fair bit of cash to both enjoy myself personally and do fun stuff for others. Maybe I'd like to hit the fancy hotels or restaurants I haven't tried before, but I'm probably still going to enjoy a milkshake or fries and gravy at a late-night Denny's. There's still going to be stressed out waitresses or young people who are working and trying hard to get ahead. With that kind of income, it's not going to even make me flinch to drop a tip here and there that could be potentially life-changing for something at that stage of life and income. Drop some dough and pay for somebody's tuition, whatever.
Or wander around and find some people who lost a job and/or are about to lose their house, car, whatever. Drop some cash and pay off their debts. Clear things out. Stuff like that could be a lot of fun.
I wonder if somebody can develop this into a transparent kernel-module. 13-22% of a video library could mean saving several hundred GB on a multi-terabyte collection. Depending on if it decompresses on-the-fly and how hard it is on a CPU, it may also reduce disk I/O somewhat.
I'm just waiting for the day of "well yes, we used billions of tax dollars to build ourselves a palace walled with gold featuring life-size cola and chocolate fountains. But you can't prove that they were *YOUR* specific tax dollars so you have no right to sue!"
1. Can't prove that you were affected because you can't get the records. 2. Can't get the records because they're either "classified" or they just don't answer FOIA requests 3. Can't get them declassified or revealed because you need to go to court 4. Can't go to court because you don't have evidence you were affected. 5. GOTO 1
Depending on how your environments are configured, I would think that "view" (read-only) access wouldn't be a terrible thing, but giving the architect write access, especially at a root/admin level is NOT a good idea (for similar reasons to why devs shouldn't have such access).
So the question becomes: how do we give him/her enough access to be informed and effective, but not so much that it is likely to allow problematic changes.
There could be a few ways of this. In many cases, there are management or monitoring systems with management UI's on which you can create accounts with view-only access. For example, in many places I've worked, there are one or all of the following: * A network management software which is capable of listing all known managed network devices and returning logs or configuration details for them (without allowing access to change) * A software/package management system capable of tracking all licensed hosts (e.g. satellite/spacewalk for Linux, or perhaps something tied to WSUS in the windows world) and the software/configuration of those hosts. * Monitoring software which tracks the status of running applications/services/devices, and generally knows at least a little bit about the underlying OS versions, hardware, and various applications installed * An asset management system which tracks stuff like hardware, OS, location, ownership, etc of physical and virtual hosts
That gives several points where one could have a limited-access account where one can pull up the information needed to build a fairly decent picture of how things tie together, but without giving somebody the temptation of being able to actually change or tweak things him/herself. There may be some fine details that aren't immediately apparent with the above, but that's why you have the fifth option
* cultivate a mutually beneficial/respectful relationship between your devs, architects, security team and admins.
Seriously, the "chain of incomplete/disaster projects" is almost never on one guy, but due to a breakdown of communication between layers. By cultivating a good relation between the levels of staff, you not only have people who are willing to donate some time to getting the information you need (or considering the changes you propose), but often bring important stuff to you for advise/advisement before you even have to ask!
So yeah, you should have lots of access to *see* what's going on in a global sense, but not to *change* it (except on paper/design). Access to the noted systems is going to be helpful with that, but having strong ties to the right people is the real trump.
It may just be how things are phrased (and to be fair "ask slashdot" often comes off as better describing ones frustrations than relations), but at the moment it sounds like you're not doing particularly well at the communication bit or at relinquishing control. Don't be a one-man army... even if you do get the access it'll just lead to you taking all the heat for issues and/or burning out.
Yeah, what I'd like to see is not a bunch of shit baked into a stereo unit that will be obsolete 3 months after release, but open standards for communicating with the devices we already have.
Bluetooth (A2DP) audio is a nice thing to have, though I admit sound quality isn't always consistent between devices. For GPS and similar things, why not just have stereo head units with a decent display and widi enabled, maybe something to bluetooth tether the touch-screen (they can even lock it so it doesn't accept input while driving). That would allow people to use the GPS/navigation on their phone - which likely is more up-to-date than the aging car unit - and other such useful functionality.
For the kids, have a rear-facing widi display that similarly allows video to be streamed from the phone. That or just make connecting phones to HDMI easier/consistent and have little charging/display ports that also broadcast to the internal displays.
Also, that how many of these sites (including, or possibly especially the big names) are outright fraudulent. I couldn't care less about the paying members, but the emails on internal business practices certainly sound interesting.
Wasn't this a joke in some movie (I'm thinking a Kevin Smith flick but could be another), where essentially the item arrived in discreet packaging but all refund were cheques in big glaring envelopes from "Bob's a**vibrator company" or something like that.
Does it grab two IP's when it connects to Virgin? If not, I'd also be worried about
"what happens when somebody downloads or does something illegal through the IP that ties to your home router, and the swat-team arrives (or the nastygram from the MPAA etc)" ?
So I went back and re-disabled a bunch of these apps, and they're not showing up in the updates now. Perhaps something else re-enabled them previously causing them to show up in the updates again.
I'll have to keep an eye on that. I wouldn't rule out some Samsung or phone-carrier shennanigans, but you are definitely correct that they're not showing in updates after the recent disable.
Not illegal in the sense that there's no legal boundary to having a home-mailserver, illegal in the sense that it was being used for the purpose of government business that is prohibited from such.
"You can't hold someone responsible for being hacked"
And if it were a complex exploit or a zero-day, maybe. That's like getting robbed a fancy movie when the thieves rappel in through the ceiling and use special tools to disable the motion detectors and open the vault.
But in these cases it's more often than not just due to being lazy and cheap. I can't find the exact article, but basically it sounds like they had internet-exposed network devices with default passwords. Basically, their security was a back door with a cheap lock, a motion-detecting lamp, and a safe with a combination of 1-2-3-4. Stupid shit like that just shouldn't get a pass.
If Hilliary has managed to delete any of the more sensitive documents before the servers were seized, the Chinese and Russians probably have backups they can provide for the investigation:-)

What they don't mention is that IP in this case stands for Idiotic Problems.

Simply enough:
Either
a) At 14 he's a child enough that he shouldn't be facing (long-term life-damaging) adult consequences for his actions
or
b) At 14 he's adult enough to face such consequences. However then he's an adult and therefore the pictures shouldn't be considered underage.

I'd guess: in the dark? Heck, when it comes to some people (such as the royal family), that's probably the ONLY way they can reproduce.
All the Canadian artists to choose from... and somehow they picked Bieber.
If that doesn't indicate a broken system, I don't know what does!

"They require continual maintenance, and who's going to be wasting their time shepherding all that?"
The people you pay to do so?
It's not his heart that's the problem, it's his head/brain which seem to be in the wrong place. He should see a proctologist to get that fixed....
Would've been more impressive if it was at least a 5.25" rather than a 2.5" variety anyhow...

I haven't seen those before. That was pretty awesome.
Glad I wasn't drinking anything when I watch it though.
I am suddenly extremely jealous :-)

Galaxy S5. They don't auto-download (as I've got auto-update disabled) but they're keep prompting to do so in my list of updates.
