So.... Encryption is a big headache for small businesses?
There are free encryption tools out there. The "headache" would probably be for IT, because Encryption means if you didnt back it up you lost it. If you forgot the PW, you lost it, if that person leaves and doesnt give you the PW, you can sue them, but you lost it.
One thing I have noted in my "small business" IT jobs, if you dont take IT seriously and stick them in a windowless room in the basement like you would a janitor, you will not succeed in your business. A small business treated me like I was a lost revenue instead of like a member of the company, they lost me and they regret it to this day. But this company is a medical billing business, where HIPAA was a daily worry. I figured it out.
Kind of went off on a tangent there, but the point is small businesses have it better than large companies. Its not hard to encrypt, its hard to keep track and train how to use.
So.. NOT telling people my password is a good idea?
Damn, and I was following the advice of the OP.
Damn you internets... you were supposed to be smart!
When couples are trying to conceive, they will monitor the woman for fertility and the man for erections.
Hmmm, perhaps they should use this on priests, tied to a shock collar.
I have to say, when Mechwarrior was owned by FASA it was an exciting universe, I had a lot of ideas. I played MW2 back in the day online. Was in a Merc group for online play and we did rather well. I mean think of it, there were clans, Federation groups, and merc groups. it had a money system and you could buy/sell things. They had planets setup that would produce so much a week, etc. it was a full economy that this gaming group did on their own. There was even travel time between planets, and you had to "own" your own ships.
I left it after a while, but I enjoyed it and thought that it was a fun experience. That is an MMO, IMO. Eve is okay in this area, but MechWarrior just had the stories and the background. When MW3 and MW4 came out I was hoping to see that they were still around. They kind of are, but not in the scale that I speak of above. People didnt like MW3 or MW4 in the dynamics it provided like MW2 did.
One day I hope for a MW Universe based off the MW2 online community, but it may never happen because WizKids made it the lamest piece of crap I have ever seen.
FYI, competition in health insurance does not exist. So, because competition and thus the capitalistic venture did not work out... someone had to do something.
But then what do I know, Im just a poor schmuck that got genetic diabetis and thus must suffer alone while people who are lucky enough not to get such lifetime diseases can live with their pockets lined with cash. AMIRITE?
I find it odd that the systems in vehicles do not have a default "debugging" which should basically trigger the vehicle to stop.
Why does the vehicle ABS (from what I know from the news) get tripped up on instant breaking? Really? ABS... the thing that is supposed to pump the break to allow for cleaner stops triggers breaking problems and increased acceleration?
I just think bad coding in general here. Regardless of "testing"
Thats actually a good point. Those of us who do not watch commercials probably also have ad blocker technology on our systems.
Logic then concludes that we are not the target audience for these ads.
Dont forget the viruses transmitted by Ads. Sure this only happened a few times through large internet ad agencies, but its only a mater of time before it happens again
Ads would be the #1 way to saturate a lot of computers in a short amount of time. Ill never remove ad blockers.
That being said I am sure website developers can come up with a solution which checks if their ads are being blocked and if so, deny access to the site.
The "For whatever reason" makes me think of the cold war and the rhetoric cast back and forth during that whole thing. It is something so established in our society that even saying "socialist" gets you all kinds of irrational emotional rage about something people know nothing about.
So the reason? Because people in government positions want unlimited funds for fighting ghosts.
Actually, for a company that banks on their "quality" it is a HUGE cost to their image and people who champion their product look a fool.
You have heard Toyota say in all press releases "we are still the safest car out there" have you not?
You know what? When all these "sudden recalls" came out from Toyota once their acceleration issue came to light in the media, it indicates to me one thing.
Toyota has been holding back a lot of recalls at the expense of customer safety.
So champion Toyota all you want, and come up with a conspiracy theory that the USA gov is behind this whole thing.
It indicates to me Toyota was playing with fire and now they got burned. Nothing more, nothing less.
Yes, because no one shops at Walmart, even though 50% of Americans think that WalMart is a very American store (well, this was said on the news once and although I hope USA citizens are smart, this is possible)

AoL appreciates your scientific use.
Offtopic sure... But your sig is win.

In short, fuck you selfish prick.
Strawman argument is strawman....
I dont think you understand what a Democrat stands for, nor do you understand what a Republican stands for in the business world.
I agree, the movie Hackers is a great representation of Cyber Security Experts.
Yes... I have often felt that Slashdots multiple stories every 5 seconds takes up most of my day.
Uh... credentials mean nothing. Refuting a statement with facts means more.
ppppfffftttt, complain first, wait for server load to even out, google last. /.

Yeah, that is a good point as well. Some kind of mechanical override to the computer when in emergency situations.

Logical assumptions buddy... read my reply.

Also they like their spyware.
