If you concerned about you pizza ordering habits being of interest you need professional help. Further more may I remind you that the pizza delivering service has no reason or duty to keep pizza orders confidential.
Well done at both keeping ignorant of current events and misreading my post.
The point is that, if you call a pizza place that is also called by a "terror suspect", you become connected to the suspect and all your communications (not just the pizza orders) are more likely to be monitored.
I notice that you ignored the very important point that we should all be concerned about monitoring of the communications of politicians and their staff.
You should not post as anonymous coward, more like anonymous idiot, or is it anonymous shill (it is not be beyond
the realm of the possible that the intelligence community are posting in/. trying to influence opinions).
I don't call people on watch lists, I don't call any known criminals
Ever ordered a pizza over the phone? Then you may have called a number that is associated with terrorists (who also happen to like pizza).
Perhaps you don't care about your phone calls and emails being intercepted. Probably, I don't really care about mine, but I do care about interception of the communications of my elected representatives and their staff, and so should you.
So, your argument is that, because Exchange is a "collaboration server", it's OK for it to use an insane amount of resources even when supporting a very small number of users? That's a ridiculous argument.
To be honest, the 2003 version is far less of a piece of shit than earlier ones
Where I work, we have a Server 2012/Exchange 2013 setup. It uses an insane amount of resources for a mailserver that supports about 30 mailboxes. It's not even doing spam filtering (it's behind a spamassassin relay) and we had to turn off the built-in malware scanner, since that would regularly die, causing the incoming mail queue to hang.
I am at a crossroads right now. When I go to update my system, it wants to install Gnome3, despite my efforts to block this. I need to spend some time working on installing Mate, but that will make my system unusable for quite some time while I do this, since I need to remove Gnome2 before installing Mate (I think).
I have been very pleased with Gentoo. I have systems that were first installed 9 years ago, but are still fully up-to-date, with latest kernels, etc.
But if they *quit* their job, they must get a new visa, which means leaving the US and re-entering.
I am 99% sure that you are wrong here. Yes, they must get approval for a new visa, but, until they leave the country, they don't need the new visa to be stamped in their passport, so they don't need to leave the country just because of the new visa.
The US has made H1B visas a PITA anyway. In the past, when you renewed a visa, you could send your passport off to the State Department to get the new visa stamp, then they stopped this and you had to leave the country and go to a embassy or consulate somwhere in the world (eg Canada) to get the stamp. Now you have to go to your home country to get the new visa stamped in your passport.
The "consultant" thought he would make a name for himself by acting like Gordon Ramsay. Hilariously, he was right, just in the exact opposite of what he hoped for.
Let me suggest an alternative. The consultant was very smart. He knew that without strife and discord, there would be no show. Nothing that people would watch. Reality programs need drama.
So, he worked to create strife. He forced the participants to drink Mountain Dew (so, more caffeine than they were used to) in order to get them hyped up. He made deliberately provocative statements. He did everything possible to get the participants out of their comfort zone and arguing with each other, deliberately, in order to make a show that would sell.
Arguably, although his plan failed, the show might have also failed without his influence, simply because of a lack of drama.
No they can't because the Visa is issued by the corporation sponsors that person. Once that ends they have to go back. Even if they found another job that company would have to issue a Visa.
Which orifice did you pull that one out of? The visa is issued by the US government. If a H1B visa holder loses his or her job, he/she has some time (30 days, perhaps) to get another job before he or she must leave the USA. Furthermore, visa holders have some period of grace when transferring to a new job, during which time they can work for a new employer while the application for a new visa is processed. See this page for an explanation.
Plus, H1B visa holders are tied to the company that issues the visa. If they leave the company, they must return to their home country. Tech companies like Facebook like to have such indentured servants.
Not true. H1B visa holders can change employers. Even if laid-off, H1B visa holders have some time to find a new job before they must return to their home country. The real lock-in occurs to those people who apply for green cards.
Because even the FISA court might balk at issuing a warrant for Dianne Feinstein's communications. You didn't really think that the NSA is not trawling through the communications of politicians, did you?
EMC paid $2.6B for RSA. Could they sue the NSA for destroying the value of their property?
No, because the PHBs at EMC/RSA already accepted payment from the NSA. Someone should be fired over the fact that a $2.6B investment was hugely devalued for a payment of only $10M.
though I'd think this would fall into trademark territory more than patent technology. Maybe the curved ridges on the keys somehow have a patent I guess...
Design patents, like (downmods coming in 3..2... 1) rectangles with rounded corners.
No one at being recruited is at will. These aren't tech support jobs they're design and engineering teams. These folks have very detailed contracts. Your not working a new products without one.
Perhaps the state in which you live permits indentured servitude, but California law restricts what employment terms can be enforced and leaving to join a competitor is an act that is protected under California law.
.. and all customers will have chipped cards by October.
This simply isn't true. I just looked at a newly issued card and it doesn't have a chip. Furthermore, the one US card in my wallet that does have a chip is a chip and signature card. Not chip and PIN
Much as I hate to defend Microsoft, the summary mischaracterises Microsoft's statement. Microsoft is saying that it already had the right to search the mailbox, so a court would not have issued an order. It's like asking a court for permission to search your own house. The court won't issue an order, but that doesn't mean that it would be illegal to do the search.
I don't know if Microsoft is right in its claim that it would not have been able to get a court order, but let's get the facts straight when criticising Microsoft.
Better to compromise certificate authorities than to compromise certificates.
Let's say you work for a large tech company based in Mountain View and, when connecting from home, you actually inspect the certificate that is presented to your browser and it isn't the certificate that you expect. What do you do?
Next, assume you tell your bosses. What do they do?
The report only mentions in passing how the servers are compromised, which is that the operators of the botnet use credentials that have already been stolen to "infect" new machines. I personally think it likely that brute force attacks against ssh passwords are also used.
The summary states:
The servers are being hijacked by a backdoor Trojan
but I think this is an inaccurate summary since the Trojan is being installed on machines where the attackers already have root credentials.
Perhaps some unknown vulnerability is also being used to gain root access, but the report does not claim this.
Sure I saw some stuff, but then *wham* I ran into something that will affect me eventually. It's HEROES EARNINGS ASSISTANCE AND RELIEF TAX ACT OF 2008, section 301 that says that if you emigrate FROM the US you have to pay capital gains tax on your possessions.
Did you see the exclusion of the first $600,000 in section 3?

Wayland is supposed to reduce code complexity.
Is XWayland, running on top of Wayland actually less complex than X on its own?
