You've narrowed my choices. I'm in the market for a new GPS, and now I know which brand I will WON'T and will NEVER purchase! Nor will anyone else I know if I have my way!
Why do companies think that making it so-called "anonymous" makes it ok to track your every move without consent?
Now if we can just figure out how to prevent them from keeping the password written on a sticky note.
This is exactly why we need two-factor authentication for the encryption to be secure. If the password is too complex/long, it will be written down. If it's too easy/short, the password can be brute forced.
Make sure you update the RBL on your spam blocker to include zen.spamhaus.org. It contains the PBL (Policy Block List) which helps to filter out home internet connections. Zen includes the SBL and XBL, making it the replacement for sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org.
A better solution is to install WSUS (Windows Server Update Services) to manage Windows Updates. You get complete control over what updates get installed. And the machines will download the updates from your local server, instead of the internet.
This WinFS is great I'm sure, but does it fix the file locking problem that's been plaguing Windows (heck, even DOS)? It a really annoying problem that needs to be addressed (and *nix does it so nicely!)
Windows XP comes enabled by default to automatically syncronize the time. It does this once a week to time.windows.com or to whatever server you choose. Setting a scheduled task to do it is something you have to do pre-xp.
Note: When part of a domain it one of the domain controllers for syncronization.

According to http://www.visa.ca/chip/cardholders/emvstandard/index.jsp, the EMV Chip & PIN standard is also used in Canada, not just Europe.

And they WILL write the password down.
How much electricity is needed to charge the sucker?

Not only do have to worry about your browser/os crashing, you have to worry about your internet connection flaking out too!
Brilliant!
What do you expect? This is Slashdot! Microsoft is always evil and Google are the eternal "good guys"
I'd think it's time for a NEW JOB! There's security... and there's stupidity... and that place has firmly reached stupidity.

Their marketing guy may claim their stuff is enterprise level and all, but Google ranks openssh.com higher than ssh.com! http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=ssh&btnG=Googl e+Search&meta=
So there!
Perhaps they should be concentrating on making their vehicles safer http://www.latimes.com/business/investing/wire/sns -ap-gm-recall,1,3343951.story?coll=sns-ap-investin g-headlines&ctrack=1&cset=true instead of making their cars drive themselves.
Heck, they should be worrying about trying to sell their vehicles! Cause Honda and Toyota aren't going away any time soon!
