Yeah, it is a terrible headline.
I thought someone got fired until I remembered that Los Alamos is surrounded by fire.
Then, IDLE != shut down.
Be less terrible at your shock and Awe titles Slashdot.
You assume too much on the business side.
They already data mine anything they can get their hands on for additional profit possibilities.
And clauses upon clauses do not allow you to "opt out" of anything. Besides, they do not have custom "opt out" options. If you dont like it, you just dont go there.
But wait, there is more... everyone is doing it
Businesses must keep records for 7 years, this includes hospitals, doctors offices, medical billing, insurance.
So... yeah.
Or it could be that the person in charge of Development was smart enough to invest in it because they knew better and the person in charge of Customer Data was not.
We could come up with many scenarios, the only ones that know what happened internally are not going to speak out about it willingly.
One thing is for sure, what I have seen in the small business world is a mirror to big business. It IS ignorance at some level in the corporate model.
Ironically, this same model helps bring down corporations and small businesses alike. All it takes is one bad stone at the right point in the pyramid to make it all come crumbling down.
Yeah, that is the part I do not get about the power to arrest someone for recording the police.
They are in a public place, performing a public service act. It is no different the recording any other public service. Checks and balances my friends.
Has the USA really become China? Are we, in fact, in a police state now?
None of this bodes well for our citizens, and in the end, the government will lose.
Such a small change can have such a big impact.
I never really thought about how digital clocks keep track of time. This is a very interesting issue.
Of course, it could also turn into a boon for the industry, having everyone buy a clock that doesnt rely on "power timing".
Are... are you serious right now?
There is NO police force that can be trusted, just like no body of citizens can be trusted.
The reason is obvious, a force unchecked will be a force to reckon with.
I mean, i would agree too unless I considered the whole picture of what the statement is considering.
I mean, in any narrow sighted view of a point, things always seem valid.
This is where people get crazy, because they focus on the one, not the many.
Oh trust me I do.
I am fully aware of fighting the good fight for security, especially in small business.
In fact, in small business, security is usually an afterthought. But my solutions were not put into the hands of the workers. They were all automated, the employees never knew about them. The boss knew there was some security, but not what.
Now if you are working at a medical facility and they do not even attempt to send things password protected... they are very open to lawsuits and HIPAA.
That is a serious issue that WILL affect the bottom line, and peoples jobs.
Its actually HIPAA.
But here is the reality of the security that is.. it depends on you.
HIPAA is there to "best attempt" secure a patients data. Meaning password protect data sent via the web.
I implemented PGP encryption, SFTP, and P2P tunnels. If we needed we password protected files by zipping them. I wasnt happy about it, but we did it in a jam. The best one was hospitals deploying a system where you had to log onto a secure site with specific credentials to view secure information.
Can all this be "hacked" by trojans, keyloggers, and social engineering?
Sure, so due diligence is needed on the part of all employees.
You wouldnt let someone you dont know into a locked door would you? It is due diligence to stop and ask them. Same thing with not going to "that website".
This patent is so "generalized" that sites like TuCows and Fileplanet could be sued.
Both examples of sites that existed before 1999 using this "patent".
Actually, they do...
HIPAA requires the doctors/Hospital/clinics to have the patients authorization to send medical records to insurance (if requested), and other doctors as long as you signed a release form for that specific doctor.
Oh, and you have to sign a new one every year.
You ever read that stuff you sign at the doctors?
Slashdot Mirror
All Linkedin and Zynga prove is that Bubble 2.0 is on the rise and that people are hungry to get back into the investment game.
Dont make me go upside your head!
See... the solution, to not make me go upside your head... involves no sacrifices.
In the USA, it should be. But it isnt.
+ funny

You mean like helping someone with a flat on the side of the road only to be robbed?

Companies are already exchanging EMRs.
So... it is already happening
Yes, I would try this first as well. Is there currently an AV that detects this rootkit? Perhaps Kaspersky?
Yes, this is what allowed other governments to attain police state status.
We are heading in that direction.
What, test environments are difficult?
Yeah, that is the part I do not get about the power to arrest someone for recording the police.

Ah, so are these clocks based on motors then?
Such as an analog clock?
It does if you let the gunk build.
That isnt my concern... my concern is when they come out with pimp rings.
THEN Ill think about buying it.
