Being able to change source code and that code getting pushed into builds which the RE group releases would suggest that it's a bit of a high value account.
I argued for some time at a previous company that they were out of compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley and segregation of duty rules. The reason was the network admins had access to source code repositories (VSS, StarTeam, and TFS). Since network admins did pushes to QAS and PRD, they could feasably alter source code and push it to production.
The reality, though, is a developer can put in malicious code and, as long as the rest of the dev team doesn't catch it, it can make it to production regardless. Network admins don't typically have any way of knowing anything about the code that's being pushed.
All of that makes SOX pretty weak from an IT standpoint. But the end result is this: anyone who can push code to a repository has access to do terrible things.
Great thought there. In the last several elections it seems as though both major parties have thrown in their worst possible candidates.... almost as a joke.
Not exactly. I gathered from the PP that there was no https available. It is available, but not configured to give http_responses in SSL for some odd reason.
Yup, that'd be the one. Before I replied here I went and looked up a little more. I find it hard to imagine that the backlash from that incident was "to toughen laws on terrorism and expand the powers of law enforcement agencies."
Sadly, https://www.facebook.com/ does work, but you have to force it... and continue to force it because each request sent over https generates a response as http.
Careful, anytime I post something negative about Al Gore I get modded into oblivion and receive eleventymillion "just because he's a hypocrite doesn't mean he's a bad guy" comments.
I can't find it at the moment, but I remember reading about a Russian raid on an elemetary school some extremists had taken control of with several hostages.
The Russians stormed in and killed the extremists. The response to questions about safety of the hostages was something along the lines of "we weren't worried about them, they were already in danger."
Junk checks aren't for bomb residue/traces, they're for weapons. The puffers, which have been argued to be ineffective, are for residue.
So the dogs would only replace the machines (with much argument as puffers don't have any propensity to bite people or have disease carrying fleas... note, I wouldn't be making these arguments), and junk checks would continue.
It's all moot to me. After being screamed at by a TSA agent in Houston for pointing out that she let some asshole cut in line, I vowed to drive everywhere possible from now on.
That's just people in general. I don't think I'd pin horrible actions on religious fruitcakes and suggests atheists/agnostics don't sometimes carry out the same.
In the end, once in a while crazy people do crazy stuff. Hopefully they do it before the reproduce so we can jail them before they procreate.
I'll say the name here since I don't work there anymore...
Energy Transfer (natural gas company) did quite a bit of "blame the economy" gaming as well. It was pretty disgusting not only in action but in their portrayal of it.
have noted that money does not correlate with happiness
"Money doesn't buy happiness." Uh, do you live in America? 'Cause it buys a WaveRunner. Have you ever seen a sad person on a WaveRunner? Have you? Seriously, have you? Try to frown on a WaveRunner. You can't! They're so awesome, it's just throttle. People smile as they hit the pier. Because you forget, you need gas to turn. It goes against your natural instincts. Some of you aren't laughing; we all miss your cousin, but not laughing's not gonna bring him back. He's dead for a reason. He was a show-off, and he tried to spray us. "I didn't wanna get wet!" I yelled at his mother at the funeral.
I wouldn't say one party opposes education, rather that neither has a great plan for improving it (though one's plan seems better than the other to me).
Having some minor involvement in the school system here doesn't make me an expert, but I'm leaning towards parenting as the root issue. Most parents seem to view school as not a haven for education, but a place to drop their kids off for a while so they can go to work, play bridge, or whateverinthehellitistheydoduringtheday. Lack of promoting studying at home and glorifying learning are taking over, and schools are being blamed for behavioral problems. Those behavioral problems cause distractions in classes which prevent other students from learning.
And don't get me started on the standardized assessment tests...
That's stupid. Showing the ability to crash for exams doesn't always translate to knowledge in the field. I've seen countless Electric Technicians who can dance circles around degreed engineers.
I think he was pointing out that the professed prophet actually did these things. I don't think anyone argues that Jesus was a pedophile, mass murder, etc... for example. Nothing about the followers of any religion.
I think the problem is we've become so used to the idea that people are pushing an agenda for their own personal gain that we don't trust experts like we should anymore.
It would be vastly more efficient for me to shoot my neighbor and take his food, than have to go to work every day to earn my food.
That only works for so long until you're out of people to shoot, or someone shoots you.
The work every day method is much more sustainable.
Historically there are many jobs that have been displaced by technology. Lectors, lamp lighters, milk and ice delivery folks, etc... Technology has a habit of replacing entire industries. If what you mean by treating people fairly is keeping these obsolete jobs available then you're way off.
However, treating people fairly in terms of shafting them for rights to their resources is very important. There are a few companies who agree, but sadly I think most don't all for love of quarterly earnings reports.

Articulate and charismatic? Agreed. Intelligent? Remains to be seen.

To his credit he did fight hard for what we all refer to as ObamaCare now. However, only 45% of the population supported it.

Oooooh, what's your paypal account so I can fund this technology? :D

Erm, embarassing moment... someone already has.
That really doesn't matter. The PP was suggesting replacing junk checks with residue sniffing dogs. I was just pointing out the failed logic.
Sadly, https://www.facebook.com/ does work, but you have to force it... and continue to force it because each request sent over https generates a response as http.
Did you go look them up?

I don't get that from the review. Remember, it's about response team, not the insecurities themselves.
I'm not sure how exactly your mind works, but it's both very entertaining and very disturbing at the same time.
I'll say the name here since I don't work there anymore...
Energy Transfer (natural gas company) did quite a bit of "blame the economy" gaming as well. It was pretty disgusting not only in action but in their portrayal of it.
So by your example I completely agree with you.

I agree with everything you said except the following:
And now everyone wonders why we don't make things anymore
The US is still the world's leading manufacturer, though if China keeps up its trend it won't be for long.
I think the problem is we've become so used to the idea that people are pushing an agenda for their own personal gain that we don't trust experts like we should anymore.
