Does anyone really doubt that if you purchased a book that fantasizes incest.. and ANYONE else finds out about it, the first words from your mouth are: "my card was stolen"
It's not enough that you want unfettered access to remove funds at whim from my bank account. Now you want to decide what I read too? Yet another reason to NOT use Paypal ever...
There is always the bandwidth of a station wagon full of... USB hard drives. Also, VPNs over the Internet are more and more common. Which is the point. While I may not work for weeks so I can get the latest episode of Chuck, I will to make a circumvention tool to allow free and open access again. By "Widening the net" they add to the ranks of people against them.
Ahh... Memories... L.U.N.C.H (tinc) was a good time. We had a regular meeting for about half a year of the Local Usenet Cabal Houston, and I will let you guess when.
There is a difference between the people who use it, the people who own it, the people who run it. And most of the people who run the core stuff are on the same page.
Or, if there is no budget for that, refuse more projects. Give a real timeline of when the "High Priority" projects will be done, and drop everything else, and tell management that there are no new projects until May 2013. When they crap, you can start the discussion of "Wants vs Needs" and if they really need everything on the list.
we just all stress out and have 10000 tonnes of pressure 24/7/365
Typically, this is the norm. Eventually, key people get better jobs, and it all comes tumbling down. Then they outsource it all. Then it gets expensive, and does not fit well. Then they hire a new team. Lather, rinse, repeat...
"That you have friends that may post to your wall that you are not expected to control. That you participate in activities outside of work that may or may not fit with the company image, and you will not be asked to curtail those activities. This may scare them off a bit..."
This is hilarious, because you have already signed something(in the US) saying you wont do any of the above to hurt the company when you became employed.
Exactly, and they are asking you to do something that may cause hurt to the company. This is just saying that if hurt occurs because of something the company asked me to do, I am not responsible.
Also put a lot of stuff in writing. Like if they are forcing you to join with your personal account, get in writing that it is your account, and will still be yours when you leave. That you have friends that may post to your wall that you are not expected to control. That you participate in activities outside of work that may or may not fit with the company image, and you will not be asked to curtail those activities. This may scare them off a bit...
Actually, this can lead to more security for wistleblowers, if they have some knowledge. Since this is now so easy, it is hard for any government to justify having a large questioned documents section. (They are expensive after all) So all you have to do, is change your dots, print the super secret stuff, and then change them back. Then if they compare pages, and get non-matching numbers, they check no further.
But to address your comment, that only works if the store records the serial number with the purchase, and not just the model. And assumes you do not buy a used printer.

Unless it's your sister who finds out... ;)
Hhhmmm... I may have to rethink my whole "Paypal is the root of all evil" theme...

Lots... Have you seen the add revenue from Damn You Autocorrect? http://www.damnyouautocorrect.com/
Yes, Vista did have honest to goodness suckage, but most of the complaints centered around the fact that they actually fixed their security
Removing all of the wheels makes a car much more secure. It just makes for a shitty car.
Or it could be that African captains can't read the "No Ship Parking" signs.
See! SOPA isn't needed to take websites off line!
But, backhoe operators around the world are sending sympathy cards to the captain.

Once a Senator, always a Senator. After your term is over, you keep both your title and your full salary and benefits. Nice work if you can get it.
And when the power cuts out? Sorry about that stroke...
And parents wonder why they can't let the kids use the work laptop. It's because we're Ogres! Ogres, Damnit!
So where have you applied so far?

Just like Kim Dotcom. Wait a minute...
Oh? Did you buy that printer with a credit card? Video surveilence at time of purchase could be useful if not....
After this http://www.forbes.com/sites/kashmirhill/2012/02/16/how-target-figured-out-a-teen-girl-was-pregnant-before-her-father-did/ I am seriously thinking of dropping all my cards. I will, at least, be using them a lot less.

It's not entirely worthless - it makes good kindling, and bad toilet paper. (or very bad kindling if you use it as toilet paper first)
It is not even the best for that. http://web.orange.co.uk/article/quirkies/Hungarays_needy_given_money_to_burn
But Australia is following the lead of America at every turn, and any restriction in free speech on the Internet is only for our own good right?
Well, at least we are still a leader in something. It will not be the Internet much longer, if it still even is... http://yro.slashdot.org/story/12/02/18/1237243/is-the-government-scaring-web-businesses-out-of-the-us
Note that that was sarcasm, for the humour impaired.
Oh wait... Where am I?
I don't know, but when you find one (land of the free) let me know!
