You missed the most important one. Parallel networks, an inside secured hard wired network and an external at risk network.
The internal secured network does not connect to the internet, any external connections are hard wired and all portable data device transfers are only done at secured monitored locations (upload or download).
The external network that provides access to the internet, simply should not have access to any secured data, just regular communications. Transfer of data from internal to external, should require manual innervation and only be done at secured and monitored locations.
The big driver in the digital age for security, oddly enough is to slow down the illicit transfer of data. Sure they can print out a hard copy, but they can't readily print out and walk off with 250,000 documents without getting caught.
If it is meant to be secure, and it absolutely positively doesn't need to be connected to the internet, then don't connect it to the internet. So that is another big step in security, audting security and kicking every desk, every work station, every server, off the internet if it shouldn't be on it. It is stupid to save a thousands dollars a year by connecting a device to the internet only to spend a thousands dollars a year trying to secure it and risking a million dollars when security eventually fails.
In other words, at low temperatures condensation becomes a problem. Many modern electronic devices have heating circuits built in to prevent condensation, portable devices for obvious reasons do not.
Geek culture is driven by geeks. Now on the IQ scale 100 is average and geek culture tends to 120 plus, that alone ensures an obvious lack of popularity.
As for ego, let's be honest having to put up with all the jock straps and cheer leaders at high school and the various other sub 110 crowds, has worn down the humour of geeks when it comes dealing with them. Geeks of course as they get older mellow out and tend to be less put off by associations with the failed jock strap cheerleader crowd et al.
As for mass media popularity, that's just a PR=B$ (lies for profit) illusion, that's keeps changing at regular cycles so people 'er' marketing victims buy the latest fashionable crap and of course ostracise geeks for failing to do so.
I don't know which browser you use but I use Firefox. In the top right corner you have a customisable search box when making use of the pull down you can have more than one search engine immediately accessible.
The ones I currently use are Google, Google Maps, AOL, ASK, IMDB, Wiktionary, Wikipedia, Creative Commons and Mozilla add-ons . Google might be the default, top of the list but in truth I readily swap between them to get the best search results based upon the topic type in question.
I can guarantee that using more than one type of search engine and getting used to using the most appropriate type to the query you have in mind will give you by far the best results.
If your wondering why no Bing, I simply couldn't be buggered dealing with silverfish and they kind of make compulsory scattered about all over the place, so easiest just to give it the flick.
Well that's more than a bit silly. Both the Republican and Democratic party are largely fictitious entities, having no real permanent structure or stated and adhered to policies. They are largely nothing more than marketing entities to get politicians nominated in the primaries, once the primaries are over the real election is over and the election is nothing more than a popularity contest to see who wins the profits.
The whole idea in US politics is to win in the primaries, doesn't matter at all whether they are Republican or Democrat primaries, just as long as you candidates not the corporate ones gets up for the election. Just as corporations stack election with their Republican and Democratic candidate, the people can beat the corporations by winning the primaries with better candidates.
This all points to what these FBI investigations are really all about, not crime but politics. About silencing voices at the behest of corporations, about excluding real people from politics by tarnishing there record as citizens. Not government gone wild but government yet again corrupted by private interests, by corporate dollars paying off corrupt government officials. Who is the greater criminal the one that accepts the bribe or the one that pays the bribes and corrupts many people.
Well then, save even more money and remove the tolls all together, zero cost solution.
It will save even more pollution as people do not need to drive further to free bridges to avoid tolls.
Unless of course the real idea is to sell all US bridges to private interests so that an automated maximum profit system can be implemented on every bridge in the US.
The Republicans will love it, think of all those campaign donations those billions in profits could pay for (real trick is to do zero maintenance and then on sell the sell the bridge just prior to collapse).
This study of course focuses in on those who tend to blind religious belief, those who get a major brain chemical hit when lost in the delusion of religious ecstasy. (the number one reason religions ban drugs, religious/brain chemical addicts).
Now they are simply combining that with breeding rates for those afflicted personality types and the result is obvious.
Of course much like lemmings, the overly religious types tend to boom and then of course bust in a big way. Praying whilst it drives the brain chemical reward system for the afflicted does nothing for them in the real world, hence societal collapse and mass starvation (much repeated historical fact).
Even when most religions categorically state the main reason for prayer is to protect their adherents from temptation as their reward only comes in heaven, they still whole heartedly abandon their 'soul' to temptation and pray for greedy rewards now. This behaviour obviously has more to do with feeding the brain chemical reward system in the face of suffering as a result of greed, than any form of spiritualism.
In that case it is all checks and balances, kill switch fine but if it was unwarranted then prison time for those that infringed the constitution and no national security 'we aren't telling you the truth bull crap'.
Simple adhere to the law in all regards, with heavy penalties for illegal use of the 'kill switch' giving in the legislation, target not only at government but also at 'private interests'.
That is more than a little off topic but you have got it all wrong. To prevent a government from collapsing simply eliminate all private interests.
Governments fail when people with influence cause them to fail via corruption, the insanely greedy work so hard at tilting the government in their favour, the government simply topples over from the weight of corruption.
So to protect government you simply cripple the size of private interests, thus limiting their influence. So set limits on the size of limited liability corporations beyond which they are no longer limited liability and share holders are responsible for the debts.
PS the times are good in the US, record corporate profits in fact, exactly as those that bought the US government intend, Don't like it, then focus on the primaries, the political parties are totally meaningless in the US, all that matters is getting non corporate candidates up past the primaries, want to break psychopath corporate executives, then block them from stacking your elections with their bough and paid for candidates.
How do you protect servers from rogue admins, they same way you protect passengers jets from rogue pilots, they say way you protect ships from rogue captains, the same way you protect buses from rogue drivers, the same way you protect trains from rogue engineers and even the same way you protect patients from rogue doctors..
You don't, any protection you put in place to protect a server from a rogue administrator will be broken by that rogue administrator if they are in any way competent.
I suppose you could always seek to hire the most incompetent admin you can find a person who lacks the expertise to break the servers but somehow that seems rather pointless.
So how do you protecct your servers from rogue admins, don't hire them in the first place. Consider a full psych evaluation (stay away from the anal types), pay a food salary and, make them part of the executive team.
The real point is has nothing to do with what BBC iPlayer or YouTube, that is the lie, it is all about screwing over the end user and not telling them that their access to the internet is being manipulated and downgraded so that the ISP can attempt to extort fees from parties with whom the ISP does not have a business arrangement by attempting to deny access to the ISP's end users.
So the end users is left in the dark and has no idea why they can no longer properly access web sites (something they already pay for in data upload and download) as they used, they are lied to by the ISP and denied the truth as to why the connection, what they are paying for and the data on that connection they are also paying for is being screwed over, why their service is basically being fucked up on purpose.
So a class action lawsuit will be required to protect end users, so a little warning screen comes up, "Your Connection to this Web Site is being Purposefully Fucked Up So That We Can Extort Money From The Owners of The Web Site, It Is In the Terms and Conditions of Contract So If Your Want to Complain Shut The Fuck Up and Wait Two Years For Your Contract to Expire Sucker".
It is the end user who seeks the data, it is the end users who initiates the download and it is the end user whose connection get screwed over, pretending it is about BBC iPlayer and YouTube is just public relations bullshit.
Nah, he blew it by taking a profit distribution rather than stock options and then only paying tax at capital gains rates basically 50% of the normal taxations rate, than of course theres stuff like shifting those stock options the ones you bought out (but haven't paid tax on) by selling other stock options which you have paid capital gains tax on, into trusts, offshore accounts and pseudo charities.
Then of course there is all that tax fiddling with mansions as places of business, mega yachts as business marketing expenses, private jets as normal transport deductibles, art antiques jewellery as business decorations, private functions as business functions, personal PR as business marketing, useless spawn nepotisticly hired to further hide personal income and of course bogus payments to fictional off shore pseudo consulting firms (tax haven holiday dodges).
He cheated, he just didn't cheat enough to get away with the typical corporate income bullshit, that continues to thrive because it buys off elections 'er' makes lobbyists shuffled campaign contributions.
It would appear you have never heard of IP address, MAC address, ISP address pools, time tracking of rotating IP addresses and identifying people by patterns of behaviour including user name preferences, shared friends and, similar group memberships.
Now for the other big shocker, you do no buy adds, they do not sell adds to you and they do not market their advertising qualities to you. What they do is try to create a convincing story, throw in some wobbly statistics, play games of association with other proven successful marketing strategies and based upon that, they try to convince advertisers they will sell product by buying add space on their networks.
So the popular statistical metrics are what type you are (they tend to hold onto who so then can continue to rent out your privacy rather than sell it), how much you are worth, what you buy and, what you need etc., now add to that some click metrics, time one line and interaction preferences to put together a better picture. They would also like to convince advertisers that your choices can be manipulated by repeatedly targeting you at the right times with the right styled add for a product you would be most susceptible to buying ie you are their marketing victim butt monkey (more accurate for children than adults which is why marketing executives should be forbidden by law form interacting with children).
As a result of all this bull shit marketing B$=PR, part of out collective responsibility as adults is to undermine all false advertising as rapidly and effectively as possible, which the internet now makes readily possible.
Logic by story premise, means you create a story premise and that establishes it's own internal logic and then you adhere to that logic (logical does not mean factual), it does not have to be real or proven science, just craft quality stories (for science fiction the quality of the story counts otherwise it is a comic.)
Example in Star Trek the establish warp drive as the means of travelling faster than light as a part of the story premise, however they often broke the logic of the speed warp, by altering the speed of warp based upon the speed of plot, lazy writing tends to produce poor quality stories (there are plenty of good star trek episodes and there are quite a few bad ones.
'Cringe' broke it's own rules by making the science geeks think from the gut jock straps, they both behave and act dumb and pull solutions out of their collective asses, fine in that is the character type. So redneck rampage and J.J. Abrams most probably would produce a fun, enjoyable and profitable series, Star Trek and he craps out and promotes a cadet to captain of the fleet flagship of the federation of planets in one fucking mission because he makes good from the gut decisions, now that is just plain 'Bushville'.
Sounds 'great'?. A cyanobacterium, that specifically produces pollutants like diesel fuel, kerosene and gasoline. First up what are the constraints upon the bacterium to prevent them breeding out of control, obviously they can tolerate fairly high levels of pollutants like diesel fuel, kerosene and gasoline which the rest of the environment can not, so what weaknesses have been incorporated into the cyanobacterium that means they will die without mutation when taken from their controlled sterile environment and exposed to the natural environment.
Any organism that can alter it's local environment so that only that organism can survive is one that ideally should not be released into the natural environment.
Suck it up, Fringe is dumb, the characters act and talk dumb, the almost stories are shallow and dumb. It's just the way fringe is written, it's like the have a catalogue of scenes that need to fulfil a certain type, be it action, be it sexual reference, be it sexual interaction etc. they create the scenes than try to string them together with what ever shallow story line they can. Fringe a better title that fit's the same them would have been 'Shallow', which is Abrams style. Of course you shallow writing and apparent reading style would indicate why you like fringe and why you do not grasp the idea of "logic established by the story premise" when used in science fiction or more accurately science fantasy.
Inherently China is not a free and open society and that attitude tends to reflect in some of their interactions with Free Open Source Software. However enlightened self interests will motivate the actually coders to want to have their coding skills acknowledged by having that code added to the distribution base, future job prospects are driven by it.
Now that points to the real problem for 'Fringe' or any other current scifi show, they not only have to compete with what is currently showing but also what's available on DVD.
Only so many hours in the day and if viewing available sucks compared to what you already have in your library, they you just put in a disc and watch a season of which ever scifi series you feel like.
Just like science fiction novels, science fiction geeks are collectors and they will have a huge library to choose from and if they don't appreciate the current offerings they'll just ignore them forever (maybe they'll buy the complete fringe series as a supermarket bargain bin special it's bound to happen).
Science fiction, adheres well to logical story lines and of adhering to the logic established by the story premise. Dumbed down scripts using simple language, just are not part of science fiction, unless your talking Saturday cartoon fare targeted at children, which does pretty much reflect J.J. Abrams syfy story style, avoiding complexity and intellectualism at all costs.
So while saturday morning scifi cartoons still count as scifi, it is scifi meant for children or as J.J. Abrams produces syfy for adults who never read science fiction in a non-cartoon format.
So I gather that the J.J. Abrams intellectual rape of science fiction continues. SyFy is his forte dumbed down for the non-scifi crowd just a bunch of sex scenes, action scenes, with the simplest possible story to string it together.
Abrams leave scifi alone, forget startrek, target your intellectual audience, consider turning redneck rampage http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redneck_Rampage into a TV series, rude, crude, junk food, zombies, zero intellect from the gut thinking and no story, right up your alley.
What is really silly about all this. IPv6 is going to make a huge mess out of the whole domain naming system, trillions of IP addresses, without any way of establishing meaningful recallable names for all those addresses. Under the current domain naming system you would have to resort to alphabet scramble of say 50 or more characters to even just start to look at names for a substantial portion of all of people on the planet.
Contrary to what the legal idiots at the RIAA think, the domain naming system is just a simplification of a search able IP address book. However with a huge number of IPv6 addresses coming on stream and all devices likely shifting to IPv6 addressing even mobile phones, it is likely that an IPv6 global address book might start taking precedence over domain name addressing and that's aside from countries likely to start taking complete control over their own domain name addressing system.
All the bullshit the MPA*/RIA* pull now to try to take control of domain names to suit their interests just means ICAAN will likely break up sooner, it is just a name - ip address data base you numb nuts, nothing more nothing less.
It works like this. The more people that use Free Open Source Software, the better it becomes, because the more people that use it means the more people who will contribute code to it. The reason people contribute code is of course the contribution is acknowledged and publicly demonstrates their skill in product.
Also Free Open Source Software supporters, are not racist, nor prejudiced, lack political bias and are company neutral, when it comes to contributors and users, it is called enlightened self interest by supporting the interests of others.
Now the reality is, that all of the contributions to Free Open Source Software are made by individuals, their efforts may have been paid for but individuals, fellow human beings made those efforts, and whether they are Chinese, North Korean, Iranian or even US Republicans, their contributions are appreciated and respected.
FOSS only the quality of the person and the code they create counts, religion, politics, skin colour, race, nationality, sexual affiliations have no bearing upon acceptability within the FOSS community (even ex-softies are totally acceptable, current aren't excluded either just fairly rare).
Those cables run over and under public property and cross state boundaries, they also enter the private properties of citizens whose rights must always be protected.
Net Neutrality, us a neutral digital communications system, no censorship, no prejudicial traffic bias, no communications disruptions to suit profit or political goals, basically it is all about treating the internet as an extension of the private telephone system, exchanging analogue voice communication for digital communications but maintaining the same principles of not monitoring, no censorship, no traffic blocking, no purposeful disruptions of service.
Laws of the land are created by the government based upon the constitution, corporations regardless of their psychopathic greed are bound by those laws. If you want to communications companies the laws will govern how you operate, don't like the laws, well simple go into some other industry.
Perhaps of M$ were to offer a $10 million dollar reward for proof based upon the likely damages claim, how long would that state secret last, especially when that secret hides a criminal act.

Perhaps of M$ were to offer a $10 million dollar reward for proof based upon the likely damages claim, how long would that state secret last, especially when that secret hides a criminal act.
