Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but it seems that he violate wiretap laws by listening in to the conversation. Neither party knew he was listening in. I would have though for sure they would have charged him for listening which in reality wasn't necessary to prove his point.
Well it seems that they had the redundant systems in the same building. when designing redundant systems its best to avoid common mode failure when ever possible.
You may want to look at what they are doing with avalibility groups. You can avoid the shared storage with avaliblity groups and could cut your hardware costs a bit. assuming you your software support SQL 2012.

I have never understood why software tokens have been allowed to be considered a "factor" in multi factor authentication. Particulary when it is stored on the same laptop/computer that the user is utilizing to connect to the secure resource. Doesn't it make more sense to have each factor seperated by an air gap or alternate communiation channel? That way if the system where the users is typing a password is compromised only the password is compromissed with possibly the ping from the token which would be a one time key. Even if the one time key and the password are comprimised the attacker basicly has to use it at the same time.
And as for people who run unlocked wireless routers and let anybody in the neighborhood utilize their bandwidth, I have zero sympathy.
Right, because we should expect 100% of the US population to understand network security and know how to properly secure a wifi router. Makes perfect sense!
Exactly, and i will take it one step further. What if they do thier best to secure their device but it only allows the use of protocols with know security issues. Think WEP when that was about all there was for a home user.
Hell my parents got a new cable modem/router/access point from their ISP and the thing only supprted WEP. That was last year!
I also think people should be able to share their wifi with whoever they want and not have to worry about being held responsible for what someone else does with it.
that it will stem the tied of frivolus mass lawsuits. My guess is they will just pick a different tactic. I suspect that we will see some court decisions and or laws past that will make the person paying for the service assocated with the IP address responsible for all traffic that is sent or received.
I only work one day from home a week and I miss out on a lot. I find that I have to pester people far more often to get updates about projects or issues.
I primarily OS X and Linux at home but I continue to use Windows at work so I keep test systems around at home to keep up on the latest Microsoft technology. Every IT shop I have worked at out of college has been all Microsoft.
Though I would guess that the automotive industry will effectively bribe, oops I mean lobby, any stiff requirements that DOT would require of them based on the roadmap.
Really? Last time I checked even most windows NIC drivers allowed you to change the MAC address. Granted it's still set on the card for this purpose it could be adjusted pretty easily.
Credit card payment processing is the ideal complicity/trace/choke point for much of the world of spam and crimeware.
Why doesn't the FBI turn the next prosecution into a RICO prosecution and drag a payment processor and/or bank and some of its executives into the prosecution?
A few 20 year jail sentences and $250,000 fines plus forfeitures would make many processors think twice about their "man in the middle" role.
Spam and scareware wouldn't be worth doing if you couldn't get paid for them -- no matter how scared I am, I can't manage to shove a $20 into my monitor.
I don't see them ever making the banks accountable for this. Hell they didn't even make them accountable for the mess they created with the mortgage crisis. The banking industry just has to much power and will argue that putting checks in place to prevent this will inhibit free trade and would be a burden to them.
But hell lets try and see what happens. I would love to see them take some responsibility.
From what I remember Tom Tom was Linux based and Microsoft went after them because of the file system they implemented for map storage which i believe was FAT based.
Anyone have any links on exactly what these patents are?
I find the patent system incredibly frustrating. It would be one thing if these patents weren't so vague and open to interpretation, but with the way they currently are how the hell can you even create something that doesn't infringe on someone's patent?
I guess I would fee differently if I had patents to profit from.
The Federal reserve banks should be pushing for a standardized way to handle the communication between all the competing banks, much like how they handle checks with Check21.
I'm all for boxee, but if they wanted aggregates to link to their content I would think hulu would have provided an API to allow it.
Maybe instead of trying to work around every change hulu makes they should work with them instead.
OSS and Proprietary software both have their place and an University should encourage the use of both. Locking a user in either way is not a good idea. Yes techies can figure it out but what about another student that isn't as comfortable with computers. A graduate should be able to use the basic software right when they get out and because there is a mix of packages in the corp world it makes sense to not lock them in.
Like any other technology it would make sense to see if there privacy risks and if there are see what can be done to avoid them or just don't use the software.
Why do I have to reboot after installing a PDF reader? Remember that this is Windows we're talking about. Each computer is an island unto itself, to be conquered and subjugated by each software package installed.
Adobe applications often write to the boot sector. A co-worker of mine found this out when is full disk encryption stopped allowing the system to boot. That was with the full version of adobe Acrobat, but it would not surprise me if they do this with their other applications.

I was really hoping for a more in-depth description of what NOSQL has to offer over other DB options.
Working in IT in most organizations is soul sucking.

But rather than just checking SMART, get the manufacturer's test program. All the HD makers have one, just get the one appropriate for yours.
Careful, some manufactures have utilities that just check SMART and don't actually do a test.
