Typical to automatically assume the word citizen refers to American Citizens. The wording is a little off, but it is pretty clear they are referring to Canadian Citizens working for US-Owned corperations.
The privacy commissioner was referring to Canadian citizens living in BC. The provincial government wants to out-source all medical services plan data to a subsidiary of an american defence contractor. Because we have mandatory health coverage, every resident of BC has an MSP record. That's 4 million Canadian Citizens whose medical records could be demanded by a foreign intelligence service without a warrant issued by a Canadian judge.
According to this story the provincial government is going to outsource anyways.
This is so important to understand, I'm going to re-post it above the discussion about bin Laden's tape.
This story (and this summary) really should be front-page material
I bought a used microVAX hoping to run NetBSD on it... but alas, the instructions started with 'in VMS download the image and copy it to the tape drive...'*. erm... I have neither VMS nor a tape drive... I could mount the SCSI drives in my (Linux) PC, if I had any clue what to do after that.
I'm a gentoo user and I most certainly do not listen to Pantera. Rage Against the Machine, Pink Floyd, Bob Marley, Mike Oldfield, Disposable Heroes of Hiphopracy, Beethoven, and the Tea Party, but never Pantera. Pantera's just crap.
I think the reasoning is for arctic settlements or something, but flying in all the equipment, technicians, communications lines etc would probably be more expensive than just setting up a clinic staffed by a nurse.
It's a contest for developing PPC64 code in which they are giving away a G5. Presumably if you can submit an entry you already have a G5 (or a POWER server, but then why would you want a G5).
Do little good if they got someone in the gang to turn and/or infiltrated them. It's more likely old-fashioned police work than cracking IPSec, Skype, TLS, etc.
Salt water, being a good conductor of electricity, seems to have been a direct cause of the fire aboard the sub.
Salt water stiking high-voltage cables with non-waterproof insulation at the lowest point in the hull seems to have been the cause.
I'd have thought that on day 1 of "Submarine School", the first lesson would be entitled "Why you should never leave the hatch open in heavy seas"
I'd have thought that "water gets inside submarines, and flows downhill" would have been one of the first lessons of submarine design school
And, like a used car, Canada had the chance to inspect what they were buying before they bought.
Actually, the sub in question was in parts when it was bought on condition that it be refurbished and made seaworthy. It has proven to have not been made seaworthy.
In the thousands of meetings that Microsoft employees have with customers around the world every day, many of the same questions consistently surface: Does an open source platform really provide a long-term cost advantage compared with Windows? Which platform offers the most secure computing environment? Given the growing concern among customers about intellectual property indemnification, what's the best way to minimize risk? In moving from an expensive UNIX platform, what's the best alternative in terms of migration?
Gee, I know whenever I need to make a major business decision, the first person I go to is someone who is trying to sell me something. Why bother consulting someone who has not already made up their mind?
Either Ballmer is lying, or they've had thousands of meetings with idiots.
Someone (or more likely several people) did hand write his html. The indenting is structured and logical, and there are little notes to eachother here and there.
(I'm not a doctor, but...) If your doctor tells you you urgently need to get your pancreas removed, get a second opinion. You will die very quickly without insulin.
On reading the headline I thought the extortionists were threatening to upload child pornography to their servers then call the authorities.
This would likely get their servers seized at least long enough to figure out that they'd been hacked. To an on-line business, that may just be long enough to put them out of business.
With just emailing in their name, all the extortionists are doing is causing a breif blip of bad publicity before they get the word out that they're being framed.

I still have my slackware floppy set...

Coooolll.... I know what I'm doing this weekend...

And their leader is John Bigbuté
which all sums up to::
Fatter Wallet
By which they mean anyone who ever goes into an AIM chatroom. It's so bad almost noone uses them anymore, even with pyboticide
Kuru is bad.
What this boils down to for me is whether:
is the same as: . I don't think they're the same at all.It sounds to me like whoever reported it over-reacted, and the SS were just doing their jobs.

By not using a hackish distribution.

It's the availability of infinitely long tapes.

So why do you use Yahoo's web filter then?
Darn it, look at all the death, chronic pain, and permanent disability we could have if we just had more distractions while driving.
