  1. Re:So he loses his Blackberry? on Obama's Mobile Phone Records Compromised, Shared · · Score: 2, Informative

    I may be wrong about this but I seem to remember speaking to the guy in my IT organization about Blackberry and AES encryption on the Blackberry devices. He said that is an option but it is not the default configuration and you have to specifically configure it. My organization has about 250,000 e-mail accounts and does not use the AES encryption he said. He would know since he designed the system.

    I admit to know nothing about rugby except for the ugly shirts, however American football players outweigh and are significantly larger than rugby players generally. I believe they start a rugby match or play in a huddle all pressing up against one another. This being very differnet than having two player each weighing between 250 and 350 pounds charging one another with 40 to 50 pounds of additional gear on. Two masses that size colliding at 10, 20 , or 30 miles an hour is a bit different then a couple of blokes with long sleeve shirts rubbing up against one another. Consider that in American football there have been players paralyzed for life with the girly man protective gear on no less.

    No sir, American Football as anyone knows who has played it, either on the playground or in an organized game is defintely not for girly men. In fact I sould submit if we stripped the American Football players of their girly man outfits and dressed them in the ugly long sleeve shirts of the more masculine rugby folk and then turn them loose on one another you would need allot of ambulances and doctors for the more masculine rugby folk. The contest I'm afraid would end rather quickly and badly for the far superior and more masculine rugby folk.

    "Any drawbacks, besides the depleted Uranium pollution?"

    Just one!!!

    Ummm Cuba is 90 miles from the US and so any Uranium pollution would not be a good idea. Besides and this is a big one... Given that we know when Fidel ate beans for supper let alone them trying to sneak in special forces from anywhere let alone Russia/China/ or Iraq which if you believe the news couldn't get a paper airplane through the air defenses that currently control the skies above Iraq.

    Fidel is "allowed" to continue to run his big fat mouth for three reasons.

    1. What would we do with Cuba build hotels and Casinos???

    2. His cigars are not bad.

    3. Sex tourism from over paid IT guys is still a lucrative business. If it should happen without or knowledge (COUGH!!!!) well what is the harm.

    " D? Hmm, looks like some US troops are in trouble... (additional 200 or so articles snipped for space reasons).

    A GI in custody or foreign gov or military personnel: "Hmmm let's see they want to know which I choose...

    I'm going to go out on a lim here and guess that when they catch Osama Bin Laden who I guess masterminded 9/11 where at least 2000 people died he will get more than 7-10 years with time off for good behavior so I'm not sure what your point is.

  17. Another bunch of resaons! on Is Linux as Secure as We'd Like to Think? · · Score: 1

    Another possibility as to why so many Linux systems are exploited is due to the quickly increasing user base migrating from windows without the knowledge base required to secure a Linux system connected to the web. I work with a bunch of windows guys who have recently made a visit to the "darkside" (their description not mine...) and after installing redhat and clicking through the menus they are content to forget it's there connected via ATM network and let it sit unpatched and with a default config. On a network with no security I might add!!! Second... If you wanted to do the most damage with a virus my guess would be you would write the virus for a platform that had the widest user base as well as the largest unskilled user base. Enter MS Windows (Fill in the version).
