    It was 1984, FFS!!! Windows didn't even exist. The AT had barely come out. PC-based servers were Netware.

    And if he clicked "angry" or "sad", indicating he didn't like the news, He'd still be "intentionally distributing" it to everyone in his network.

    So even if he disapproved of the post and was angry about it, under your theory, he's still guilty.

  4. When I held a clearance (thank the FSM I don't anymore), it was drilled into us.

  5. Actually, if a company is flagged with a sufficient number* of security violations, the US.gov will drop current contracts and refuse to issue new ones that require access to classified data.

    * The definition of a "sufficient number" is probably extremely flexible.

  7. Re:You have *got* to be kidding... on British Airways Says IT Collapse Came After Servers Damaged By Power Problem (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    No, they appear to be saying that turning the power on somehow damaged the computers:
    "The power then returned in an uncontrolled way causing physical damage to the IT servers"

    Right, which says that the servers weren't connected to UPSes. Because if they were, then the UPS would have filtered the power surge.

  9. Thank you! That's why mine is so high.

  10. Some of the black laser printers are somewhat affordable, but I've never seen an affordable color laser printer

    Blackouts. I can't get my local team online due to dumb-ass blackout rules, without using a VPN. I have cable for my baseball and hockey fix.

    I can get it streaming through the Fox Sports app, but it asks for my cable company info to prove I already get their channel.

    I thought they had an "eat your own dog food" policy, so I'm going to guess Team Foundation Server.

    But consumers and regulators are holding them to ever-higher standards of security and convenience, driving the cost of overhauls higher and potentially eroding any savings.

    Boo-hoo! We can't just ignore good security practices and pocket the money! Those nasty unfair consumers and regulators!!!

  17. As I said, it depends on your bandwidth.

    You've got a 300Mbps upstream connection? Great. Most people don't have that.

    To be fair, back in college (early '80s), I pulled graveyard at a 7-11. During training we were taught that if someone came in armed, give him whatever the hell he wanted. The actual words they used were "We can replace money, we can't replace you".
