The information is right about the phishing attacks too.
I generated a learning program for new hires at my business to understand and mitigate threats.
It focused on phishing attempts and attacks because our business was partially done through email.
Now imagine a politician and their staff... they have to correspond with people, and the easiest, most efficient way is... through email.
So, the concern about phishing attacks is true, but can be mitigated through training on what to spot for.
By the way, my training program never went through, because of the time it takes and what not. So, the same will happen here. IT will have to continually fight against an ill informed user and an attacker, and let me tell you two war fronts are more difficult than one.
I agree... we should let corporations tell us when weather is bad.
Because paying for information to be told a tornado is coming is a good idea.
Paying to be told a hurricane is coming is a good idea.
Preventing loss of life should be secondary to profits.
Also, none of that is bribing to save lives, its just good business.
If only we were less short sighted than profits and more caring about people. But fuck it, PROFITS!
Although their points are kind of redundant to techies, they do make some good ones.
Unlike the MS points about Linux and how it is the Hackers utility and is insecure due to code being open to the public...
I also like the theory that because Windows XP was the only OS for 5 years or so, it made it more porous. So once Vista came out, it somehow caused problems for hackers.
Shill article is terrible.
Incorrect.
Insurance companies barter/bargain for the lowest prices.
They say, we have this many people over this age, and they are likely to buy hearing aids. Give us a deal and we will pay it minus the copay
If it were individual, it would be like a car salesman... attempting to charge the highest price, ask you to take out a loan and pay it.
Some people will barter, but we all know the for-profit from OP was correct.
IMO, rectify it with logic.
Ask them about a medical issue they wont know, or perhaps a plumbing problem.
Then tell them, well it is a good thing there are people smart in these areas. If it dawns on them that everyone has their place in society, they will dismount their pedestal.
With the constant "civilian shielding" enemies use. I would say that both are difficult, but one in particular does not put American soldiers at risk and in stressful and frustrating situations.
Drone attacks may cause civilian casualties, but then so do terrorists.
I dont see one good solution here.
You should ask Janitors how they feel about being "shat on".
Because like IT, janitors are a money pit too. Look at large buildings where management outsources janitorial care. Guess where IT is going.
The best part is the premium price you pay to Verizon on top of being sucked for information by them.
Good thing there are no rules regarding this, it might stagnate job creation... for my freedom.

Yet another example of the USA giving back to everyone else.
Before "WHOOSH", please see sarcasm.
Slashdot is now known as Feardot

So politics leads to waste. :)
Good catch

One could, I imagine, make a case for it being a tool of the republican party, but that probably overdramatizes the arrangement.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....
I dont see South Carolina reversing anything since they dont believe in Evolution they can never evolve.

Our Democracy is failing.
Failing Democracy can only be caused by citizens.
We are failing our Democracy.
Exactly what I was thinking.
So this technology is already defeated before it got off the ground.
Since when has hardware never been beaten?
Hey... 1980s called, it wants its ARPAnet back.

But corporations are job creators!
Perhaps now people will realize the balance that must be maintained... but I doubt it.
Who you callin cracka?
All things are plaussable, possible, or predictable.
Nothing is by chance, math conquers all, bad grammar is key.
The Genius I am.
I look in the mirror.
That is what I said, fellow genius!
