you know... i think most businesses use nt workstations these days, and if you password protect the screensaver, it makes you authenticate the same way you did when you logged in at the start of the day... i would hope the users know that password.
I just got a mini cd based mp3 player.... The first cd I made was encoded at 60 kbps average bitrate... it sounds ok to me, and i fit about 8 hours of music onto the disc
I plan on making my next disc use even crummier bitrate, so i can fit more music...
of course, i don't mind listening to di.fm's modem streams, unless i'm in a quiet room w/ nice headphones
I know this is feeding trolls, but... who is to say how bad it is for something to be disclosed?
not to mention, it's probably already quite possible for your users to find out you were down for 30 seconds or so; even if they don't know it was cause the ceo tripped over a network cable, and knocked some network equipment down
i had a pager from smartbeep, it was the greatest thing, $50 covered the beeper and the first years service (w/ tradein of a really old beeper), and it lost about half of the pages i got... never when i was testing it to see if it worked though....
it was the best thing, cause i didnt' have to lie when i said i didn't get the page until just now:)
I disagree. Most security problems popular recently involve either stupid users, or buffer overflows. While I don't think BOSS can specify 'disallow stupid users', they sure can specify 'check all your buffers, yes that means even that one that nobody will ever overflow, really, i mean it, come on!' (which i thought would be common practice by now, but...)
You know, that's a bad example. He probably has some ownership interest in the car. It would be perfectly legal to track his wife by putting a GPS device in it. Not to mention when he finds out his wife is sleeping with every other cop on the force, he's not going to press criminal charges; he's going to file for divorce.
A better example would be that he suspects his neighbor, a female (for ease of pronouns) 16-year old, of frequenting bars and strip clubs; so he sticks a gps device on her car, and then in a week or so wants to charge her with whatever you charge minors with for going to bars and strip clubs.
The main thing that happens when you should have obtained a warrant before doing something, and you didn't is that the evidence collected with that warrant is not usable in court.
If you have evidence (officer testimony, news footage, etc) that a suspect resisted arrest, endangered the public, was driving recklessly, and exhibiting speed, and then use a tracking device without a warrant to determine the location of the vehicle used by the suspect, the inadmissable evidence would be where the car was found.
Where the car is found is not terribly important to the case, so who cares if it's inadmissable? I don't think there are many charges you can make based on where the car ends up. Maybe tresspassing.
Wow, so the way to disable the police force is to do something that requires them to get a warrant. In the intervening 5 hours of hold (with dropped calls every 45 minutes or so), the city is ours.
If police shows are to be believed, warrants can be obtained very quickly if necessary. Although at night, you have to wake up the judge first.
BZZZT, you didn't even read the link you suggested... and it was one of the links in the text anyhow... come on
On October 23, 1999, police obtained a warrant to search the residence and impound and search Jackson's two vehicles, a 1995 Ford pickup and a 1985 Honda Accord (warrant # 1). On October 26, Detective Knechtel obtained a 10-day warrant (warrant # 2) to attach GPS devices to the two vehicles while they were still impounded.
While your E/M fields class was probably not too shabby, your reading comprehension was horrible. There were two warrants, one for looking in the vehicles, and one for putting the GPS devices on the vehicles.
it should be noted that in this case the GPS device was a store and retrieve type, and not a broadcasting type.
Of course, all a would be trackee has to do is destroy the car, since it's evidence.:)
Or create a network of tunnels to drive through and leave the car in while hiding the body. If the tunnels are constructed properly, GPS signals will not be able to penetrate to the device... I suppose a dead reckoning device could be used for tracking then, but i don't know that they make devices good enough for that
I'm taking several college-level courses - even some of my pre-AP/non-AP courses are college level - computer science, microbio/genetics (college freshman level), and the web design i'm learning in computer club are all early college-level.
If they're not AP, you're not going to get college credit for them (unless they're administered through a local college). My definition of a college level course is: A course which counts towards the requisite courses for a college degree. I don't think your 'college level' courses qualify; your school is just trying to BS you.
Finding obfuscated copied code is a difficult problem to solve. Presumably, SCO has put forth much effort into that, but they refuse to make public their claims.
Straight forward copying of code is much easier to find, and much easier to show is copying in a court. If we look at all the instances of duplicate code, and determine if they are license violations or not, it will be a start to making SCO go away.
If you've licensed code from microsft, and it turns out to be GPL, the license under which you got the code is invalid, so it wasn't illegal to determine if they improperly took code.
On the other hand, if all their code checks out, testing for that may violate their NDA, but it'd be difficult for them to show you checked their code if you don't mention it.
On the phone bill, there was no line item for having no long distance provider. If I had a long distance provider, I would have to pay whatever their montly fee was (I'd be likely able to find one for ~ $5) and then whatever they felt like charging me for the second universal service fee, and if they wanted to put the bill on my local phone bill, I would have to pay a convenience fee for that.
I don't see why you insist I need two lines?
While I did eventually get a cellphone (prepaid $0.25/minute for voice calls, primarily so I could have my email forwarded to it), it was never a huge inconvenience to either drop carrier and call somebody, or miss incoming calls.
I was in Milwaukee for school, and was originally from California. I made long distance calls to three people the entire 3 years I was there. My mother, my girlfriend (who later moved to Milwaukee), and one of my friends who was fixing my mother's computer. My rate of calling these people was so low by the time I moved out of the dorms, that I saw no reason to have long distance service. My good friends have no problem with IM, and my parents are computer literate. IM also lets me communicate with them w/out devoting my full attention, and gives me the ability to scroll back if i'm lost in a conversation.
If I had a cable modem, then I would likely have reduced my call volume such that my phone bill would be about $12/month. (it hovered there for quite a while, until I finished school and accessed the internet at home much more often)
So switching to cable modem would cause a savings of $18/month at cost of $45/month. While there is certainly something to be said about having fast downloads, paying more isn't going to save me money.
BTW, what is wrong with being ultra-cheap? By not wasting money on telecom, I can waste it on more enjoyable things.
Since I've got a landline, and a cell phone, and no way of contacting my emergency services via my cable modem (no voip service, and my local pd doesn't have a web form, that i know of), I don't have a problem with lousy QoS from my broadband provider, and would rather not be forced into paying more for something i don't need, thanks
(it would be nice to have the option of reliable QoS from them, but i don't see how it would be possible for VOIP users to order higher QoS, and me not be affected (in a good way) by that... if their network loses power, they're not going to disable my cmodem and let others in my neighborhood work... that'd be too much trouble)
I disagree with your statement that cellphones are so much cheaper.
My landline phone in Milwaukee ran me about $20/month all fees included with what I considered to be high call volume (I was using dial-up, and made several connections a day, as well as making occasional voice calls). I did not have long distance service, becaue I don't want to pay to talk to somebody long distance if I can just get online and type to them for free.
While I can understand your position regarding subsidies of basic services, I think a telephone is an important enough resource in today's society that it needs to be available to everybody for a reasonable cost. In general, it's very helpful to have a phone to contact authorities in an emergency, and to seriously look for jobs. How do you expect people to get out of a slum if they can't get a job, because a phone costs too much; and nobody will hire them unless they are reachable by phone?
As for farming; ariculture is an industry we all are customers of, so it's not like not subsidizing those costs will prevent you from paying for their lines anyhow.
as a fluent perl and c++ programmer, and a reasonable java programmer, i have to say perl has got to be way worse than java for solid design and object orientedness

well it depends on your paging service....

you know, this guy was probably dumb enough not to notice a can of regular paint...
if you read the opinion of the court, it would pretty clear that they're objecting to warrantless survaillance in any form.
You know, that's a bad example. He probably has some ownership interest in the car. It would be perfectly legal to track his wife by putting a GPS device in it. Not to mention when he finds out his wife is sleeping with every other cop on the force, he's not going to press criminal charges; he's going to file for divorce.

I'm saying that it's difficult to take two large source trees and look for code that's the same but obfuscated.
I'm presuming that SCO has put forth a large amount of effor into finding duplicated by obfuscated code. Not that they're obfuscating their code.

Using an application that stores it's address book in a different manner at least prevents it from spreading, to some degree, no?
