wtf do you think will happen when crap like this is thrown in the mix?
It's already happening with a pile of webcams naked to the net when it appears that their owners did not intend that to happen. Some interesting speculation about what could happen with universally available 24/7 monitoring was in the Japanese short (~5 min episodes) web animation series "Platonic Chain" from around ten years ago. It's probably still on the net. To sum up, kids do some creepy things with their advantage of knowing far too much about other kids.
I think the point is you just stick this thing on a pole somewhere, tell it when to trigger and collect the photos months later. It could be a whole lot of separate parts, like a computer can have a monitor, keyboard, mouse and speakers attached - or it could be in one box like a laptop is. It means the people that want to deploy remote gear can get something prepared earlier instead of assembling a system.
the studio didn't plan any contingency or mitigation for a cancellation
I've seen that in a different industry - a huge client that demands all the resources you have "just in case" and then fucks you over. About the only thing that can help is money in the bank. There's a certain type of person that decides they need to "own" you, and they can apply a lot of pressure if they are their only client at the time so they make sure that happens.
There are plenty of people that will demand changes to software on a whim even without considering whether the change is a good idea or not. Requirements can change and then change back if you have stakeholders with differing ideas. There are also people who feel they need to be involved so they suggest some wild idea just to prove that they have had input. Then, more often than you'd expect, there are others that come onboard for no reason other than to sabotage a rivals idea so your project can be in danger of being deliberately set up to fail. Such stupid fuckery can persist in places that are "too big to fail" such as MS, HP, IBM etc while much smaller places would have the perpetrators run out of town on a rail. If you can't tell people with major changes without extra resources to fuck off it's not entirely your project and you have to keep the damage to a minimum.
Oral Roberts infamously damned all of Australia to hell for eternity because he had his bag checked at Sydney airport. That was back in the day when God did what he was told, not like today when God can get up to all kinds of acts.
There's "conservative" and then there are people who call themselves that while having an interest in the vast amount of money that moves about in the name of the TSA. Financial benefit or financial benefit for their donors, or a big welfare program (that pretends to be actual work) for their voters trumps any moral indignation. File it with prison rape to get some insight on how the seemingly intolerable can be ignored instead of some attempt made to deal with the problem.
What is happening in this incident is the latest of a long series that were obviously going to happen when the TSA started moving down this path.
Yes I know that and I also had users that moved about the campus and logged on in machines sitting in other buildings. Limiting by location of machine is a better friend:)
Fair enough. I've been known to block the ports listening to SMB stuff at various points in internal networks just to make sure that the wrong thing doesn't answer when called. Printing stuff out three buildings away on a different subnet is funny the first time but then gets a bit old. "If it's not expecting traffic on that port on that interface then block it" always seemed like a simple way to start to me.
Yep, they may also have lightning strike them from a toaster or freeze solid if I walk them past a fridge. How do you survive in the modern world with such a misconception? You think that above poster would have worked something out about field strength by the way the magnetic stripes in their credit cards don't get wiped by trips in an elevator. A bulk eraser exposes tapes to a couple of orders of magnitude more of a field than if the tape was resting directly upon the casing of the elevator motor, let alone inside the elevator which is only going to be near the motor at the top of the shaft.
and other services we need not expose to nor listen on
That's *nix (or any other) firewalling 101. The instructor was probably not addressing any individual known threat but the general idea that you don't let the outside world touch ports for internal use just in case something can get in some day.
The North Korea distraction was late in the game and idiotic, but it did have the benefit that the stupid lie could be used as an excuse to get extra funding due to "cyberwar" threats instead of the normal criminal activity it very clearly was. If you fell for it and are not a source of funding for IT security then you are "collatoral damage".
Maybe they are evolving from being the Pimply Faced Youth (from BOFH) to a sysadmin. I know when I went from being an engineer to sysadin I read the crab book (TCP/IP) and armadillo book (Essential System Administration), as well as a lot of hands on stuff before I became anything close to a reasonable sysadmin. I've met a few people who have made newbie mistakes in production that could benefit from such a book even though they are already in the role.
It doesn't have to be a police state to not be able to have a printer or equivalent, we can fuck things up too even if the penalties are nowhere near as bad. I was in a western nation in the 1980s The hoops that had be jumped through to import a digital audio tape recorder for a small radio station were ridiculous and were placed in fear of violations of music company copyright. It took well over a year, possibly even into a second, and by then CD burners were available without ridiculous legal restrictions. The penalties for importing a DAT drive without a licence theoretically could go as far as jail time, utterly ridiculous, but I doubt any Judge handed that penalty out. The people who drafted the restrictions (music copyright industry) sound like they really wanted a police state for their special interests.
With current events one way you can spot a police state is the events in China where some women have been jailed for planning a protest against domestic violence. The Chinese government actually agrees with their views 100%, but those women were setting up a political structure that was not part of The Party, so off to jail with them.
I think the word you are looking for is "totalitarian" instead, where control is seen as far more important than whatever "ism" is in the propaganda that is being printed off.
No, I can confirm that alignment was an issue - not a show stopper but sometimes stuff had to be adjusted. It also used to happen on tape drives designed for computers and for high end audio as well.
That's just creepy and showing what an utter waste of taxpayers dollars the toy soldier spooks are. So you've got my name I've never mentioned in the comments out of Dice's user account information - congrats, but then you've used that information for the most trivial of reasons - epic fail. I suggest you resign and go and get a job that you can do without fucking up.
The whole benefit of AD comes from putting everything in it
That's what an internal web site is for but MS decided to do something slow and complicated so that you'd need more than the average high school graduate web monkey to keep track of it.
I'm sorry, but you got me laughing at this point. Have you looked at MS server licencing at all? There's a good reason that there's a third party "for dummies" book.

He rang ahead. I'd be shocked if somebody fucked up and did shoot him down.

It appears that the entire point is not to require a wired environment.
Then they need to resources and the guts to back that up with lawyers at ten paces.
Such as Spyglass who were to get a decent percentage of every copy of IE sold instead of getting a decent up front price for their web browser.

To the Olympic standard.
Oh wait, one of those women that failed later had kids.
The only reasonable answer is what gender the person says they are.

Probably a bullet since it's paranoia central.

I completely forgot that Arnie and Reagan were Democrats. Thanks for correcting things!
Stop being so fucking thin skinned kids - there is a pox on both houses.
