Whats the contract between the two firms say? Are they causing you harm? Are you just being uppity about log entries?
The obvious answer to your question is that if you want to continue the relationship with the hospital, you will shut the fuck up and be happy they continue to outsource things to your firm.
Its possible that they are doing something 'wrong', for various definitions of wrong, but the fact that you asked the question here, the way your phrased the question, and the information (or lack of) that you provided lets me know that you don't actually know if what they are doing is wrong even.
I would advise the doctors to seek outside consul by a qualified IT professional who can manage their network appropriately for the needs of medical facilities. Hell, you haven't even clarified if what they are doing is testing your HIPAA data security requirements or something other, which means you probably haven't even considered how HIPAA plays into this.
Just because you can run a Linux box and configure iptables doesn't make you qualified to do IT everywhere.
There isn't a market for FirefoxOS today, so its not like anything changed from 2003, or hell, even the 90s.
This is just another example of Netscape employees doing whatever random thing they feel like working on rather than focusing on something coherent. Mozilla will die the same painful slow death that Netscape did. The reason Mozilla exists in the first place is that all the shitty Netscape devs needed somewhere to go work after the first one fell apart when Sun realized how useless they really were.
The risk of a dangerous flashing malware is just the same as it has been since the early 90's, no?
No. This key is still not public, so it still requires the hacker going after you to guess an incredibly long number of bits correctly in order to fool your system into thinking it is valid.
Your BIOS's from the 90s did basic checksum tests that were designed for detecting corruption, not intentional modifications. They use basic CRC32 type of checksums, trivial to fake with simple modification of any 4 bytes in the file, which you can determine with a single simple function as they weren't designed to be one way hashes.
Your computer boots, verifies the key, then starts the next part of the process by verifying that the next stage has also been signed by that key. If you are using the BIOS which was found, then you can simply change the AMI key to your own key and sign your OS with that, so you aren't even if the AMI key was public, you could change yours and be safe again.
You flash your UEFI bios using the UEFI bios, not the OS. Again, if you were using the specific AMI firmware in question, you'd probably be aware of the upgrade menu in it.
And lets be clear. Your machine does not have 'BIOS thats signed'. It use UEFI, with it support for Secure Boot. UEFI is a replacement for BIOS. You really should learn about it rather than continuing to listen to silly 'omg uefi evil' morons. The fact that you don't know the terminology means there is absolutely 0 chance you understand what UEFI is and how SecureBoot works.
And its not the first time a machine has failed to boot due to bios bugs. This is not something new to computers DUE to UEFI, it is in fact the same thing we've been dealing with for over half a century. Bugs exist.
That statement alone proves you actually have no idea what you're talking about and are just repeating someone elses headline.
Whats better is that slashdot has modded you up, showing how the crowd here has become just as ignorant. You might as well say
The whole Linux boondoggle is false security
That makes same amount of sense.
Let me give you a hint. UFI isn't the issue, your ignorance is. You are referring to a protocol known as secure boot. It does not require UEFI and works on other systems as well. You really need to get a clue if you want to talk about Secure Boot.
Cyrus IMAP supports server side filtering via sieve, and it can be controlled via the client if your client supports it. Many do, Thunderbird included.
Cyrus also supports server side searches, so you can search all your years of email in a few seconds via a server side index. Even collections like mine that date back to the late 90s and include over 10GB of email.
I have 3 clients for OSX, including the Microsoft Remote Desktop Client. They all support it. Only one of them (Jump Desktop) cost money.
It is not a feature of the client, but of the server. Any client is capable of doing it, some just actually offer a way for the client to request do it without the server forcing it on you.
Food delivery service is popular with a population of people which generally don't own cars or have the equipment, utensils and/or time to cook their own meals? Its shocking that they figured this out all on their own. It seems their in as good a position as... well, Domino's and all the other services that offer pretty much the same thing.
I'm not sure how 'saturated market' is a good position to be in.
I can see 3 different US resellers with them in stock, shipping today, as others mentioned in posts. Model As and Bs.
The Raspberry Pi itself has been on sale in the US over a year.
The only people buying As are the ones who don't know how to find Bs and think there is no one other than the two adwords results at the top of Google search list that sell them.
Congratulations, you posted a story about a rather well known and popular computing device... and get every single detail of it wrong in every possible way.
You have whole demonstrated you have no fucking clue what you are doing.
They are under embargo by the US. That doesn't mean the entire world. Getting things into because of the US embargo isn't an issue. The embargo is just something lots of people like to use as an excuse for why Cuba is such a shit hole under Castro(s).
Last year, 188 members of the UN voted on a resolution condemning the US embargo against Cuba. The largest vote EVER in the UN.
While the US pulls in SOME other nations to embargo cuba via treaties we have with other nations, there are countries in the world which aren't governed by those treaties and have absolutely no problem at all shipping whatever you want to Cuba... Now the fact that the country is a shit hole due to its leaders means those people still probably won't get what you shipped them, but hey, lets not let facts get in the way.
The fact of the matter is simple. The embargo against Cuba isn't really doing shit, we are but one country and the rest of the world doesn't share our opinion and doesn't follow are embargo... yet Cuba is still a shit hole and people like you are too ignorant to realize why.
You realize when you say something stupid like 'Meruca' you instantly lose everyone in your listener group except the other idiots such as yourself with an axe to grind?
You lose any credence you had instantly and make it clear that you're not out about the truth or facts, you're out to promote your agenda.
If you actually wanted to spread truth, you wouldn't try to drag your own personal agenda into it. You end up letting everyone around you know that your 'facts' aren't trustable.
I know without clicking the link that I'd be a moron to believe anything in it. You posted a fucking facebook link. You're a moron if you believe anything posted to a facebook link is true in the first place.
Could like to a trusted source, but I know its tainted already so the trusted source is irrelevant.
Its like posting 'proof' that black people are (insert racial remark here) and then as your proof, quoting the KKK newsletter. It just makes you look stupid.
Every single cuban citizen who has to escape in a raft suffering 90 miles of sunburn while traveling a few miles per hour hoping you make it across the Gulf stream quickly so it doesn't carry you far enough into the Atlantic that no one ever finds you. The fact that people live there make the choice to ride a raft with THEIR KIDS in what is essentially their own personal death march should be enough to answer your question.
I use common sense and the actions of the people there to draw my conclusion. You're still trying to argue which political side is right.
10% of the countries population (roughly) has been so distraught that they elected a trip thats got less than a 1% chance of survival over staying and dealing with it.
We punish our soldiers when we find them committing crimes you speak of. Its well known fact (from those who escape the country) that the Cuban army on the other hand do commit those crimes... and you yourself give an example of them doing so.
America has its own set of issues, but its hard to believe America and Cuba are even on the same planet, putting them in the same class just makes it clear that you have no concept of what you're talking about.
Cuba doesn't, in any way, have better health care, but you go ahead and move your ass to Cuba and take it instead. Go ahead, we won't miss you.
EVERY American has health care, it just comes with strings attached. And no, it isn't there to solve all your problems, but it will prevent you from dropping dead.
Perhaps you are unaware of legal requirements in health care facilities, but the only reason anyone in my lifetime has not gotten medical care is because they didn't walk into the ER, and if you don't make it to the ER or to an Ambulance, thats your fault, not mine.
America doesn't have sit on your fat ass and have no interest in your own life health care for all. It does require you to put some effort into it if you want something other than emergency only coverage. Considering there is exactly 0 reasons for you to be so poor you can't afford health 'insurance' in America, you can't really play that card.
Unlike Cuba, where even in the hospital, you're odds are shitty... assuming you don't die in line first.
But hey, lets pretend its the same thing because you're too ignorant to know the truth from propaganda yourself even when seeing the truth requires nothing more than opening your fucking eyes.
An improvement? His option doesn't give an opt out method either, just a way to deceive those who aren't paying attention into thinking they have one. And you apparently walked right into their deception and paid for it in full.
What they've taken private is their patches for the problem until they can make it production ready.
You are still fully able to access everything you've always had access to, they've just decided not to share their newest patches for a few days/weeks until people have at least a chance to protect their systems.
Regression tests have to be run, repos need a chance to update their binary packages, all sorts of things can be done in private and made ready so that when the changes are made public... and it becomes trivial to exploit the bug in unpatched versions since the changes show you the exploit... users are already able to update to a fixed version.
They just aren't telling the world where the bug is until the patch has been properly distributed. You can still go look for it yourself if you want, unless you want the bad guys to know where its at and you STILL won't have a patch available. Remember, these are the guys who are making the patch so you're waiting on them for the fix regardless.
I don't give a shit about your right to go out to a shooting range with your gun fetish and hit fake targets.
And I don't give a shit about your irrational fears. Fortunately for me, there were some intelligent people in charge when the country was founded that put protections in place to prevent ignorant cowards such as yourself from cutting of your own nose to spite your face.

Unauthorized access to a computer, computer network or network resources is illegal in the United States of America.
No matter what anyone tells you, it is never actually legal for you to steal from someone else.
And its not the first time a machine has failed to boot due to bios bugs. This is not something new to computers DUE to UEFI, it is in fact the same thing we've been dealing with for over half a century. Bugs exist.
The whole UEFI boondoggle is false security.

It was made playable offline about 3 hours after the asshole claimed it was not possible to play it offline.
Pretty much every single statement about the always-on bit has been proven to be a all out lie.

So, go to http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=summary and look at the source.
What they've taken private is their patches for the problem until they can make it production ready.

Since they use git ... I would say that would be what happened.
Linked from their downloads page is this:

And its still fully accessible.
They will certainly be trying to move from selling to long term leases in the future.
You might want to actually come to DC sometime soon. It's actually (depending on whose figures) the cleanest or second-cleanest city in the nation
You might want to get out of the city once in a while, it is by no means a gorgeous or clean city. Your perspective is skewed.
I'm not an american, but tell me what the hell the difference between whoever is teaching your children now vs the same person + a gun.
