In today's world, security is becoming ever more important. With reports of an all Mac bot net, or iZombie network, security even on linux variants becomes ever more necessary. Enter, Moblin, armed with both spear and the tenacity to attack small blond haired boys, you're about to enter a new realm of computing experience.
Really? I mean seriously? I could maybe maybe understand if it was the whole name of the college, but just the acronym? Plus was this ever in their acceptable use policy? Do they even have a remote leg to stand on here?
While this isn't the case for all blogs, there are a vast amount that aren't tied into sponsors, or wheels inside wheels that would prevent them for really exposing activities as such. There are too many cautious media moguls out there that don't want to hurt their base that news because a glossed over sort of event. People are afraid to try and expose something and be wrong, ie Dan Rather and the Bush Vietnam debacle. Yes its good to verify information, but at the same time sometimes one needs to have a little guts when trying to expose the truth.
You make a really good point. It's not even a rural thing either. I went to an urban high school with a high amount of students from the ghetto, and they were pretty much allowed to get away with anything, no one really cared to help them. I had a friend, AP student etc who cut class one time and got severely punished, when she complained that the ghetto kids did it all the time and got a fist pound from security when walking in, they told her that as a AP student they expected better from her. Double standards like that allow kids to get away with this nonsense and gives no incentive to improve.
And I'm sure Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, Dick Cheney, Haliburton, and Rush Limbaugh will make equally good decisions... If anything the environmental whack jobs are the ones that will really push to keep where we live clean, and lately we could use a little bit of that. The check on this of course is that most of what the push for will get passed on only letting things that are either cost justifiable or at least politically popular through. Even with a democratic congress, there are a lot of different people representing a lot of different interests that will have to be balanced out. What really got me on the band wagon though, was when Oil Tycoon T Boone Pickens jumped on the renewable energy platform.
It's not really a democrat or republican thing at this point, the government seeks to serve itself and increase this or that. Both seem to be increasing government just on different sides of the spectrum which is what floors me when one side or that other tries to say otherwise. That being said its not necessarily a bad thing, a lot of the comforts that people rely and depend on come from the government which sometime does a good job and sometimes doesn't its a little hit or miss.
Rather then trying furiously to single out their biggest users and punish, we have a company thats actually focusing on improving their infrastructure to provide a better experience. I'm not sure which will help their image more...
They'll just make a better idiot. I'm not saying anti-virus alone will do it, but I've found through practical experience that trying to educate users really only works with those are willing and able to learn. A vast majority of computer users are click happy and impatient willing to click anything and everything to get on with their day.
I find it interesting that a virus essentially shuts down the hosts ability to protect itself essentially killing the host. The more deadly the virus often the least likely it's able to spread. Even spreading, the majority of the virus inside the host will die. It reminds me of the story of the Scorpion and the frog, where the frog carries the scorpion across only to be stung halfway across dooming them both. The scorpions only retort is that its in his nature to do so.
Gray's Anatomy... not the show. And I'd add A brief history of time, although fairly recent, I'd tag it in their as a book that will most likely be considered on par with older books in a similar vein.
The Obama administration is just leveraging all the tools they have available. More people can be reached via the web than anywhere else. I guess the only reason this is really news is that its an outbreak of common sense for a government agency to use these tools. I'm hoping it will allow for more transparency, but then again its just as easy to lie and fudge numbers online as it is through traditional media outlets.
I work for a company that has a fully integrated VoIP infrastructure, providing PoE enabled phones that jump to the desktop. We have no wireless to speak of either with no plans for a widespread implementation. I know you can go wireless with your phones, but do I really want to worry about a bunch of cordless phones?
Sounds like just another music company exaggerating the effect piracy is having on their business... That being said, its nice to see back then people still had the common sense not to alienate the very people you're trying to sell to.

More kids will be encouraged to go to myspace?

Best news I've heard all day. Some how I place more importance on things like this than really... anything else.

I might actually live long enough to see, and maybe even benefit from this!

Redundant and obvious sure... but offtopic?
Or underage kids drinking. I'm sure that's a lot of fun...
Plus its not really porn, just questionable photos, most of them people that think they look better than they do...
As exciting as this seems at first, I'm sure it gets real old real fast, and isn't nearly as cool as it seems.
Operating system ctrl-alt-del's you!
So that means its sitting in a box in the corner under armed guard?
