Then what you should do is change you shell so rm is a functIon that moves stuff to the "trash" rather than compromise the on disk format of the file system so an operation "unlink" which is supposed to be destructive can be undone. Solve the problem in the correct place.
They don't spam you they send the events to you SIM tool which correlates all the events and sends you one alert with some additional data that the event was seen by 25 machines on 4 subnets etc etc
Their response is "we will close the Strait of Hormuz" if your impose sanctions.
They know this would be another asymmetric situation we would be using valuable naval and air assets to fight cheap short range missile boats in the strait.
What we should do is simply say "Okay go ahead and harass commercial traffic in the strait but if you do we will consider any Iranian Naval vessel anywhere hostile, and deal with it accordingly." That we can hunt their valuable naval assets in the gulf and not get mired in an asymmetric conflict, sure the strait might remain closed to commercial traffic for a time but Iran will back down when it starts costing them war ships, and if the don't I propose the following.
We embrace the old idea of the privateer. We just start issuing letters of mark to any American who wants to buy one which make them immune to ANY and ALL civil or criminal prosecution related to crimes against Iranians or Iranian property while at sea. My guess is there are plenty of Americans crazy enough to put a crew together, cross an ocean to try their hand at seizing some Iranian merchant men, and yachts belonging to the ruling class there.
You know what the problem with this argument is, if the USA spent less on those bombs and wars chances are pretty good Europe would have to do so. I think that would break the European model, the action in Libya this year pretty clearly demonstrated that rest of NATO was NOT in a logistical position to support even a minor operation without substantial US support.
Frankly I agree we should stop spending so much on wars and bombs. There is big ocean between us and the folks we usually end up fighting with any direction you go. It does not have to be our problem, Europe on the other hand can't say that should we decide to step back from our role as world beat cop.
That is not the only side to this argument though. What about the economic gains from keeping energy costs down? What about potential shrinking of the trade gap by having to import less energy. What about not being able to be held hostage by some prick in the Middle East because we have our own resources in exploitable condition to provide the light and heat we need. Might keep thousands of soldiers alive.
I live pretty near by, its COLD here and we use lots of natural gas for heating this time of year in North East Ohio. Cheaper fuel means allot to many families. Yes there are serious POTENTIAL negative consequences, there are very valuable POTENTIAL public gains and pretty certain small gains.
In all honesty I think the status quo on this is actually right balance, we don't need more regulation or oversight in this area but we probably should not have any less either.
I am not suggesting that Google really does have your interests at heart, or that putting Google in a position to weaken oversight over themselves and similar organizations might not be short sighted, just that they could sell a good portion of the electorate on the idea they are about Truth, Justice, and the American Way, and naturally are Not Evil, unlike your current $CongressPerson who probably is evil.
I am not sure I agree. Much better to try can fight their enemies now before they become stronger. Right now Congress has pretty much the lowest approval rating its ever had. Its not like the SEC and other regulators are exactly well regarded by the public either at the moment.
If Google makes their case to the public ( and the have the visibility to do so while simultaneously being able to reduce the visibility of their opponents) that THEY are standing up for YOUR rights and freedoms while $CongressPerson is whoring himself out for corporate contributions and selling YOU down the river at the same time, I wonder who wins that debate. Google could even recruit some candidates with compatible views on IP and suggest you consider them as replacements for $CongressPerson.
Google is a BIG American success story that the public wants to see at time when they are very frustrated with the economy, Congress is in their opinion an never ending shit show. I am pretty sure Joe public does NOT want to see Washington dumping all over Google, and if he finds himself choosing between his sitting representative and Google, he will choose Google.
Google, Facebook, Amazon,Yahoo, etc should continue as normal but show the supports of censorship just how much fun being censored can be!
Google/Yahoo can simply don't return any results that include the names of Senators, and Representatives that supported the act, bonus points if you can still detect NEGATIVE news about them and return those results, don't return listings for products from companies that support the ACT on Amazon/Google/Yahoo, Facebook stop having the profiles come up in searches and don't let any posts hit news feeds even to people who are all ready friends or followers.
Frankly after such a black out of those organizations I'd be real surprised if the thing passes, and if it does is not repealed in a week. It would also give a big boost to those who don't support this stuff as it will put them front and center before the consumer for a change.
For the record I am aware that you can write native code apps for webOS but that was not the preferred method being pushed by the vendor(s). We all know that working with lessor favored technologies from a commercial software stack tends to leave you abandon at the whim of some middle management guy at a company you have little or no influence over. So we know what technology the bulk of webOS apps were going to be written in and it was not going to be the C++ interface.
WebOS was never going to do anything other than fail. Things like google Apps might be ok for really light work where shared access is the most important feature but they are the goto for very few people. Otherwise dropbox would not be nearly so popular. Don't get me wrong [xh]tml + java script might be a wonderfully flexible thing to develop your shell in but its not going to provide the rich experience users want out of an application.
No matter what the industry shills and marketing droids try and tell you tables are about data consumption and limited types of data acquisition, not creation. Consumers use them to read, watch, and play, and some very limited musical composition with external instruments ( the tablet is really an acquisition device), I have seen tools to catalog private collections of books,music, and movies, and you see QR and bar code apps to look up prices, homepages, and real estate ads. That is how these things are used in the consume space. You see more acquisition type tasks in the business logistics and medical space but its a toy everywhere else. You have to deliver a positive and rich multimedia experience and "web" technologies are basically the lowest common denominator in that domain.
Yes lots of IOS/Android apps are thin wrappers around webkit or whatever render droid is using that works for facebook, wikipedia, imdb, etc but the games and more interesting applications are native or VM code because they need to be deliver the experience people want; java script + html DOM are just not flexible enough and things like canvas don't perform well enough for use on power conscious devices.
Sending what is a basically a web browser with some java script libraries out to compete against polished binary platforms in a consumer already dominated by well polished easy to manage binary apps was space was not and is not going to work.
When did free speech require flag etfiquette be observed, you can burn the thing if you like I don't see a legitimate argument against issuing it as a shirt or panties for that matter. I also don't agree that attending public school should mean checking your civil liberties at the door.
I would like to see someone be brave enough to try and do a 3D movie in the first person. It would have to be the sort of movie where its all told from the perspective of one character obviously.
It would be really neat to see something like a Bond film where we never see James' face, just hands hands and really amazing POV shots of the bond girl...
In the case of crypto they really might someone ignorant of cryptographic principles could easily do somethIng like create a known plaintext or similar that makes the key vulnerable to attack. No matter how simple and solid the software is some understanding is needed.
I am not so sure. It took men like Shockley working on what were at the time very different disiplines to solve semiconductor physics to the point they could be manufactured in economy suitable for computer parts. I can easily imagine Babbage derived machines evolving into the vacume valve and electromechanical based machines of the 40's but things may will have peaked there!
Publishing used to add value. It was not possible for you or I to put a long manuscript into a portable useable format. Now we don't want that format. So sure it's not a viable market to sell books in, so what? Why are publishers entitled to a market? I have all sorts of goods and services I could offer except nobody wants them, should I complain?
The problem with the cameras is its one more case of nanny/surveillance state discouraging people from exercising judgement.
There are times when you should run a red light. Most of them are because of things like driving at an unsafe speed for conditions that should NOT have been doing in the first place; but people make mistakes and don't realize how slick a road might be on occasion, and there is also the case where some a-hole is tailgating you.
The trouble is the camera does not care and drivers know it. If you choose not to stop when there is no traffic on the side streets and the guy behind you is two inches off your bumper the problem is not you! Now if a actual cop was there on the scene he would probably pull the guy behind you over and site him with reckless while you continue on your merry way; the camera on the other hand is going photo your plate and your getting a ticket.
So you have an incentive to just blindly obey the light even when its making you less safe.
DOSSing can in some cases cover an attack. It's likely to overwhelm IPS or IDS devices many of theses things stop looking at every packet when the load gets to great, that might allow you to get a malicious payload through while the devices slogs through all the BS DDOs junk traffic. DDOS traffic will also Possibly fill logs resulting in rotation that may conceal finger prints of a real attack and if logs are kept cause SIM tools to grind to a halt thwarting analysis.
It is different, Its worse, eventually you will notice the goon. It might escape your attention for years that a small GPS tracker disguised to look like a fuel filter or something else the ought to be there has been attached to the underside of your car.
What is speaks to is that big government is FUNDAMENTALLY abusive. Once you have enough bureaucracy that the elected office don't know what is going on you lose accountability. People are generally good, when they are accountable, when they think none are looking or nobody will ever know it was them the results are often tragic. You don't powerful mechanism to keep doing right either, no more threat than the disapproving stares of others is usually required. Government needs to be small enough, it terms of both dollars and head count that its always and immediately clear who the responsible parties are whenever a questionable activity happens.
Our modern representative democracy is really just a tyranny of bureaucracy. Virtually unaccountable, and above the law.
And where in the Constitution is the right to bare arms, qualified with after a six day waiting period and baring we find a reason to stop you. The law is BS. You should be able to purchase ANY firearm no questions asked anytime.
Just because any given tool does not protect against every possible attack does not mean its useless. Your typical Kevlar vest won't do much against a hellfire missile but I'd sure still want one if I were walking around parts of Yemen.
Just because these flash thing won't defeat expensive cameras with high speed sensors, large lenses with low F stop values, powerful post processing features does not mean its useless. Most people don't have those things and the ones that do are still less likely to have these things in the place you'd brig this "beer cooler". I don't see many folks at the club with full size DSLRs hung from their necks.
IT is pretty big umbrella and given computers are symbolic manipulators and we understand information to be relationships among facts, expressed as symbols you cannot say CS has nothing to do with IT unless you have a deep lack of understanding where the fundamentals are concerned.
Undergrad CS is a perfectly good academic background for someone who is going to be developing business software. Remember an undergraduate program is supposed to provide a foundation for an individual to build on. Expecting to plop a new college grad in front of Visual Studio and tell them to get to work maintaining your enterprise application is wrong. They will need training and some hand holding by the existing staff until they learn the business and other specifics of how things are done in the organization. Knowing something about how computers are designed, operate, the mathematics behind them and some common algorithms is a fine place to start from, not the only place but a fine one.
Where operations are concerned well there is a MIS degree for that!
