Your network policies have to be convenient for the users (including the business owners). If the perceive something as being so inconvenient that they're tempted to circumvent it, you as the IT department are obligated to come up with something more convenient.
If the problem isn't one of convenience (but sneaking around and trying to actively evade backups), then you've got bigger problems.
Interesteing... Google as an equal and opposite reaction to Disney (and the MPAA/RIAA). We should actually try to get around to *fixing* copyright, particularly if Google doesn't get its settlement, it would probably use its financial resources lobbying muscle to fix this in a more general way in the legislative arena.
My university (Illinois Institute of Technology) does this by exporting online classes to lots of remote sites around Chicagoland. I think they use some more specialized high-end videoconferencing software. I wonder if they'd be willing to share their expertise with you.
I guess he must feel that the benifit of "seamless integration" is obtained by having a rootless X server running on Windows. Surely, one could employ a rootless X server with Cygwin and get the same experience.
So there's probably a better test case than Jane Doe who's a closeted lesbian who thinks that someone can infer her sexual orientation from her video rentals. Think along the lines of the outspoken politician who can be badly embarassed (perhaps to the point of a forced resignation) by demonstrating that he's rented pornos.
Either it's a privacy violation, or it's not. It shouldn't have anything to do with whether the woman is a Lesbian, or whether that particular fact can be inferred from the data. (Certainly there are easier facts to infer that would be equally if not more compromising to privacy, such as so-and-so rented pornos.)
Let's be more clear. There's high functioning Autism and there's low functioning Autism, and the difference between the two has to do with whether they can hold their own in intellectual settings, and whether they can live independantly. High Functioning Autism and Aspies have at least average intelligence, and can frequently be geniuses or experts in their fields.
Exactly my point. There probably aren't more actual cases of autism -- we just got better at identifying them as autism. (Now I feel like I overestimated the intelligence of the Slashdot crowd, assuming they'd all get the inference, and that I didn't need to spell it out.)
High Functioning Autism isn't really a condition that impairs people from doing more complex work. It's really similar to Aspergers Syndrome, and people with these two conditions are the kinds of people who would can get good educations and be great programmers.
(I hear Silicon Valley has a higher prevalence of Aspies, likely because the kinds of jobs found there are a good fit for Aspies and tend to attract them to the region.)
Even at 7 TeV, it's still only 2.68050555 × 10-7 calories, so it's not even powerful enough as a ray gun to boil water, let alone burn the skin of those superpowered aliens.
It seems the judges will, by default, throw out the LIDAR evidence if nobody challenges either way. So the city only bothers to raise it against someone with a defense attorney who might be patient enough to sit through a Frye hearing.
Microsoft walked up to the patent office, and said "Give me a patent." The patent office said "No, there's prior art." Microsoft asked again "Sudo Give me a patent." The patent office replied "OK."
This still has the sound of defendant intimidation. While it may be true that the judges are throwing out these cases, in every case where the city government asks for a Frye hearing, the procedure intimidates the defendants into just paying the fine rather than trying to stand up against unproven technology.
2. Why is it the job of the govt. deputy solicitor to uphold the political interests of the US of A rather than the legality of the issue at hand? (there is an opinion here that software patents help the USA in World Trade.... which seems very dubious to me at any rate).
The solicitor general's job is to argue the political interests of the USA before the Supreme Court and and be an advocate for a particular position that the court has to rule on. Though the Solicitor General can practice "confession of judgement" (which means to drop a case if he considers the government's official position to be unjust) it's much more normal for the Solicitor General to play devil's advocate and argue the position and let the court create precedent.
Wrong! The "grep" part of that command searches the contents of the files. But if you think you can get away with just grep on large amounts of data, you really ought to learn something about how indexing works and how much faster it can make your searches.
If my coffee cup suddenly collapsed into a black hole, I wouldn't feel any difference because outside the event horizon, it's still the same amount of mass generating the same amount of gravity. However, it would suck all of the air out of the room -- as gas molecules fell into the event horizon, the rest of the air in the room would redistribute at a lower pressure, exposing more gas molecules to the danger of falling into the event horizon.
They sell flash applications for the TI-83+/84, and they do have some kind of DRM that they use to ensure that if you buy a flash app, you can only run it on the calculator you bought it for.
I lose capitalization in filenames when I copy files to VFAT. That means, that if want to back up a git repository to vfat, the repository breaks, because certain internal files (namely HEAD) that need to be named in all caps have lost their capitalization.

I see those Windows commercials, and I just want to say "Well I'm Ken Thompson, and UNIX was my idea."
There have been corresponding declines in the diagnosis of mental retardation.

I'd mod you up (and I have the mod points), but you're already at +5, so there's nothing I can do.
Doesn't help with slow distributed brute force attacks. The different attempts come from different bots in the same botnet.
Would Crimson Tide be less disturbing? In that movie, the crew nearly nuked Russia because they couldn't get the encrypted signal.
Is it the Shenzhen Kiss-jia Company?

Learn Hebrew and Aramaic, and work with the original. You'll be glad you did.
