Aye, I'm still in school and have another 3 years to go. I am making more than $14 an hour @ a solid 40 hour work week. So I guess it depends. Though it helps that I have been with the company damn near a decade now.
Let us hope that this sets a precedent to Americans to not litigate ourselves out of the science and technology markets due to petty disagreements and greed.
I live in Virginia, more to the point I have passed the maglev site numerous times. The project has been held up due to it needing to run straight through a residential area. Not to mention that the project was put on hold to build the new Constant Convocation Center. The maglev project needed time to buy out those property owners. Sad thing is, like all mass transportation here it won't be used enough to make the project worth it in the long run.
It wasn't enough to steal Windows from Xerox. Now they have to go and steal ideas from *nix. Hasn't that been standard in *nix environments for awhile?
Does this mean that when purchasing a Windows liscense users will now have to decide whether or not the need a liscence and a half? Or just the single.
Oh I'll have the single please. And crack it later
What will this do to Grandma and Grandpa computer user? Imagine your grandparents out getting their first PC.
The technobable alone is staggering. I know what you are thinking, "not me I'm the uber geek".
Well think back to your first box, how much did you know? Chances are older consumers purchasing new systems, some for the first time, may be frightened off or taken advantage of.
Microsoft needs to stop. How much money is enough?
I have an idea for Microsofts new business model. Do one thing. Do it well. You guys already have the world by the short n curlies.
Besides when the rest of the world realizes that there are Linux distros out there for less than half the cost of a Windows liscnse, they will switch. As for me, I've had enough B$ from M$.
The article says you can play head to head VGA games against each other... but how does that work if you're only running one instance, or are you running two instances?
Just imagine the resources byte from two players on the same box.
To show my age. I was playing Chuck Yeager Flight Simulator on a TRS-80. At the time my dad worked as a sales manager for Radio Shack, he got me a floor model as a novelty. He said it beat the C-64 hands down. He was right.
This is yet another way, in which we have elected these people to screw us.
That is like in my state, until recently every year you would have to pay personal property tax on everything you owned "of value". Once paid you got a sticker that you place on your vehicle windshield. Even if all you owned was a beater car, and you owed no personal property tax on it, you were forced to pay the $25 for the sticker. Now in Fla it may be reasonable for the state to tax you for a LAN? Is this where our tax dollars are going? Hell I have a few light switches at my house. How 'bout they tax me every time I turn my lights on or off. They could call it a switch usage tax.
My point is we need to put these people on a short leash. For too long we have "trusted" them to make descisions based on relevant information, that would be in our best interest.
Well IMHO it is in mine and my families best interest that I keep as much of the money I make as I can.
In a time where SSI is teetering into obscurity, it would seem prudent to stop taxing people for the "RIGHT TO LIVE IN A FREE COUNTRY". If it is our right to be free, why does it put us into "wage slavery" then?
You own the the CAT-5, you own the PC's, you either own or rent the house. Exactly when and where does the Government come in to maintain your LAN. Or to troubleshoot it. Or ensure you arent sending out government secrets to your living room.
Or perhaps it's just another way they can get money from us, and we will lay down for it. Well I have been screwed enough by this government.
I am sick to death of it's politics and hidden agendas.
I myself would hate to learn that my information was made public in that way. Does your school have some sort of EULA for the website? Most institutions require some kind of security for nonpublic information, such as DOB SSN. It would seem to me that if this information is not secured properly, then perhaps a class action lawsuit would be in order. Identity theft at a university could damage someone for life. It could lead to you losing financial aid, or student loans you never applied for. I would retain a lawyer. Can be done for roughly $100 have said lawyer send a legal letter (certified mail so as to get a return receipt) and have it stated that his client who wishes to remain anonymous will file a lawsuit against the school for wrongfull disclosure of private information if the situation is not remedied.
What is the big hairy deal with Firefly? I watched the first two episodes. That thing stunk worse than a turd on the sidewalk in August. It is clearly a live action ripoff of the much touted and clever Cowboy Bebop. Anime should be left anime, and crap shows should be cancelled. Some things are just better left as animation.
Something I am worried about, is will Microsoft have anything to do with the coding?
Imagine www.cert.org CN-0003221042011-1 Brainchip maker Screwloose has anounced a flaw in BCin() that allows malicious code to be injected into neurons. Which could lead to a denial of service or a remote admin compromise.
Proof of Concept has been made public and "script kiddies" around the world have laughed at the antics they make the admins get up to.
I am waiting for the eyeball implant to go along with the brain chip. That way I can site at my desk, stare into space while surfing slashdot using blueberry wifi, and have it displayed at the back of my retina.
That is the exact reason there are more IE and ActiveX exploits than I have fingers and toes. Oh and if you think you need to run as root to install them, think again. Scripts are executed with the permission of the application that called it. Does IE and ActiveX run as Aunt Tillie? No, they run as system. As system they are installed and run without her knowledge. Leading to a ploliforation of pr0n, and animal sex acts the likes of which haven't been seen since the days of Sodom and Gamora.
Doesn't mean sacrificing security. I also found that Linux wasn't that much different from Windwos As far as useability went. It is I guess like anything you do. You have to learn how to use it. And like everything there is a learning curve.
We all know that Micro$oft Corp. is after the bottom line. Linux, as long as it remains open source will continue to be scrutinized for bugs, and or ways to innovate and optimize code. Should Linux follow suite to Micro$oft then I think we would see degredation of good coding practices. As far as which is more secure, I would lean toward Linix. Because the user has so much more control over the kernel it is bound to be more secure. Though no code is 100% bug free. Both OS'es will have their bugs, flaws or what-have-you. I took the leap to Linux a few years ago, and have never once regretted giving the OS a try. I look forward to the inovation the open source community brings to computing. And cannot wait for the day when I can contribute to the open source initiative. Three cheers for Tux.
BTW I've learned more about computers in general since using Linux than I ever had using Windows.
That no matter what you tell people, no matter the way you present the facts. They will be reluctant to fix anything. I have told non-technical freinds about different exploits for years. Even gone as far as demonstrate how I could use IE to do what I wanted from an email. Yet they insist that their firewall, their virus scan software, keep their pc safe and secure. The only secure pc I've ever seen. Is the one not connected to the net.
So disable those ActiveX controls. Prompt to run.js. Stop viewing email in OE in html. Troll the security sites. Your attacker does.

"most indicated that they were fed up with having to use passwords"
I would be interested if these same people leave their cars running while they step inside a convinience store.
while( !passwords_difficult_to_remember ){

}else{

Not to mention the 13 root exploits for Ethereal.

I still prefer filemon and regmon.
