The laminectomy was done 19 years and 6 months earlier. While I agree that it could have helped in combination with this procedure.. I DONT agree that this was a huge conincidence that they did this ground-breaking procedure and the laminectomy from 19 years ealier happened to produce results at the same time.
i think what they're missing is that there is always a digital equivilent to "rip" to. And then ofcourse anyone can burn that back to a CD. I guess the argument is that this prevents casual copying but any moron who can visit download.com can use this method.
I disagree but I have to admit that I do work in cube-farm where the only MBAs are the managers of us developers. I only come across the MBA business decision makers once or twice a week in meetings and they seem to have a very good handle on the situation.
First off, it's a public library so unless you're taking the computer home, they shouldn't care who you are.
The only practical reason I can think of that would cause them to want this technology is if they're worried about spammers or illegal use of the computer. The better(cheaper) solution is to get a sys admin to put a firewall(and other software) in to lock it down and shut the problem off at the source. If you get the fingerprint, great you arrested the guy but the damage is already done. The next guy will be there before the court case goes to trial. Which, by the way will cost the library more money.
Good point. However, I wonder if the cultural differences would cause major problems. The MBAs have to make decisions everybody else in the company. They need to bring the buyer to product and if they don't understand the buyer...who knows. Think of the possibilities of outsourced marketing!
I agree with many that a shortage is exactly what's needed. The only people it's bad for are the schools, IMO; less people == less money for them.
It could be argued that its bad for employers too but IT jobs are already underpaid and I believe they're(the employers) getting more than their money's worth already.
Getting a CS job out of college is very hard, I graduated in 12-03 and had to pull teeth to work small programming jobs into my shitty tech support job.
Once I had could claim experience from that for a year, I started the resume process and only applied to jobs which required US citizens. Yes, that's right people, the only place for a programmer that has protection against outsourcing is the DEFENSE INDUSTRY. Flame all you want, but I love my job and I'm paid well. Muah!
Apparently this was not so obvious to the Europeans who thought they were pulling a fast one on Micrsoft.

If you wait for irresponsible ISPs to pay attention and close their security holes or disable abused accounts then please let me know how cold hell is when it happens.
However, look at the problem in a different way. Many, many RBLs exist today for these irresponsible mail servers. If all of these so-called responsible ISPs would cooperate and agree on a central RBL that blacklisted entire IP blocks on the mail port then we could essentially ban the irresponsible ISPs into submission.
Your spammers will leave if they receive 100% bounces on their spam. And the customers will leave the irresponsible ISPs if they cannot send legitimate mail.
I applaude verizon http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/01/17/12 26237&tid=153&tid=17 on their decision to ban Europe e-mail. If all ISPs did it, I can guaruntee that those ISPs would eliminate spammers from their networks.
yeah i was waiting for someone to say this or else I was going to mention it.
"Dear son,
Your banking security has been compromised..."?
I mapped out their dead spots and gave it to them!

Where's Your 'D-Spot?'

I've been an ATTWireless customer in so cal for 4 years. About 2 years ago when I switched the the "better" GSM network their service was horrible and still is today. Those commericals where they advertise better coverage friggin piss me off so damn much that I tell this story EVERY time it comes on.
I drive 11 miles to work every day on a regular street, not a freeway/highway. There are no large buildings around. I like to make calls on my 45 minute drive to and from work because it passes the time. However, att's service would constantly drop my calls or not allow them to connect. I called their customer service line 18 times reporting the problems and all they could tell me was to give them the cross streets and they would fix it. I finally spent 2 hours literally mapping out the dead zones in this 11 mile, 4 city trek between here and work. I found 30 dead spots and I mapped them well with cross streets or addresses. I then called up and asked to get an email address to forward them to and was given one. i was told that i had such horrible problems that they were going fix the problems within 90 days. 3 months later, nothing, not 1 dead spot was fixed. They were so reliable that I kept the map in my car and would try to talk "around" them. i.e. "gotta-go-dead-spot-comin-CLICK, redial, hey-its-me-CLICK".
Once I started complainig, i would get horrible bills with just rediculous mistakes. Like, "oh, it says here you're not on the 600 minute plan, you're on the 20 minute plan with no free weekends?". I would get bills at $400 dollars at some time. My g/f can tell you that she could guaruntee I would be on the phone for 2 horus at night on the 15th when the bill came in every month. It was a joke and yet they wouldn't let me out of my contract. I finally said screw it and set my plan to $20/month cheapest and switched my phone to t-mobile.
Not only can i make calls that span the entire 45 minutes across the 11 mile stretch but i can use it in places i never even thought i trying at att. Their coverage is awesome (which is actually cingular's cell sites)!
Last month my contrat was finally about to end with att. So I put in my att sim card and made that call to 611. While on hold i was dropped. Called back and got a person, dropped before i could tell them i need to cancel. 3rd call dropped before i could press a number. This is not in the same place but as I'm travelling! Called again, explainied that I want to cancel, no i dont wanna reconsider, no you don't have better coverage now (are f*cking kidding me?), i want to ca-CLICK...dropped. I finally had to call using my work phone as THEIR SERVICE IS SO BAD THAT I COULD NOT EVEN CANCEL MY DAMN SERVICE USING THEIR WIRELESS SERVICE!
As of this month my service is done but I would not put it past them to send me another bill, maybe for a couple thousand dollars, why not, they're a bunch of asses over there who don't take care of their so.cal customers - at least. please, do yourself a favor, DO NOT GET ATT if you live in southern california (or probably anywhere else).
Like the one I administer, every university uses a pbx for intercampus calls. There is no charge, other than my salary and the service contract for the pbx (which is a helluva lot cheaper than voip bandwidth), for intra-campus calls since they don't leave the campus. Sounds like they either have a lot of remote campuses or they are stupid enough to give everyone their own phone line from the phone company.

How is this an exploit if it requires the user's credentials? If you have their credentials then you can just login normally....

bleh! You can have the doctor who "cut all the unnecessary bullshit" from his education, I'll stick with my "bullshit"-enabled doctor.

good points.
320 billion bits per sec == 37.25 GB/sec. Seems low to me?

phones DO NOT need their own external IP. Much safer behind a NAT. A simple DOS could kill the power on the phone in an hour.
And when they're forced to move to ipv6, ill be sure to take note of what they get so I can REJECT that in my /etc/mail/access.db too.
