It's amazing how different standards are applied to the average deer in the woods, and, i don't know, the average iraqi insurgent. In Iraq. Sure you're missing out on the tracking, prediction, guesswork and luck, but in the case of the iraqi it's a _good_ thing...
*Does a keyword search* Wow it looks like, with all the references made to Jar Jar Binks on Slashdot, he must be like the most popular character with geeks on Star Wars! Next movie we make, we gotta have more of them Gungans. Maybe even insert them into the TV series. As main characters. Like the ewoks. Everyone loves ewoks.
Personally I wipe computers because I want my users to feel the pain of having to move their data, lose their settings and wallpaper and games, and basically learn that my time is more valuable than to fix your damn shit just because you needed to see some smileys... Make em suffer along with you, that's what I say...
In my country, copyright infringement just became a crime a few months ago. That would not piss me off so much except that the official reason given for it being made a crime was "In order to comply with FTA agreements with the USA." Yes. That actually means that the government has imposed harsher penalties than you americans do on your own people. Somewhere along the way I feel that we've gone drastically wrong over here. Then I read about how Bush is pushing through jail terms for people who are sharing copyrighted files
It's been proven over and again that biometrics are a poor form of authentication that can easily be beaten. Not only are you unable to protect it (try not leaving your fingerprints everywhere, or not speaking to someone so they can't get your voice recording, or maybe even not shedding your hair so you don't leave any DNA traces), you're also unable to change it, and it's made doubly dangerous because of the way people seem to think it's effective. So maybe they should stop beating that dead horse around...
The real lesson here is, the moment you get your box, repartition it and ghost the system partition! I can't say how much time it's saved me, and you'll never have to call their tech support
Speaking on behalf of a company forced to purchase a certificate from a recognized issuing authority, I can say that the main issue involved was the need to have the certificate automatically trusted w/o needing to install additional trusted roots. Sure, in a windows domain we can deploy our own root to our clients, but we were looking at problems outside our organization. 1) Exchange RPC over HTTPS - outlook 2003 does have this support, but it won't work if it does not trust the certificate of the server. And if you don't have admin rights, you can't add that trust. Specifically, RPC over HTTP was designed for use outside of the organization, so it does make things harder if you need admin access over a box in a partners organization (it's either that or use OWA, which we all hate in general). 2) Mobile devices and Handhelds. Windows isn't the only system that comes preconfigured with certain trusted root authorities. Mobile devices are a pain in that some of them can't even be configured with additional trusted roots. 3) We experience a significant slowdown when we require our users to temporarily accept certificates for a web session. I'm not sure why myself, actually. In the end, we just bit the bullet and bought ourselves one from Entrust.
We only have one set of clothes and we're wearing them.
If by "we" you mean "more than 1 person" and by "one set of clothes" you mean "one set of clothes", I sure hope you're hot chicks. Photo pls!
Somehow I draw a parallel between Riker and Al Gore. They even look somewhat alike. Plus they're there to see their organization wind up and die. Anyone Else?
From what i gather the real smoking gun would be the use of their Roundup herbicide. If you planted their beans w/o using the stuff, you'd end up with no distinct advantage over just planting your own seed.
What I think is that everyone's got the wrong way of looking at things. Before XP SP2 came out, if I were to tell you that there was no chance you could surf the web and not get bludgeoned with some spyware, keylogger or trojan, it would be enough to make people swear off windows and move to linux. Either that or never surf for porn anymore (bleah, I need my porn). Firefox, Opera and other browsers changed all that. They proved that you can still use the OS that you're most familiar with and still have some peace of mind when you go surfing the internet. In that view, FF actually saved the business for Microsoft.
NTP is somewhat of a pain to users behind a NAT firewall. Apparently the _requesting_ port matters alot and that is translated by ordinary consumer NAT appliances, causing NTP to basically not work, no matter what settings you put. Correct me if I'm wrong. I found it over the internet when trying to set my time.
Here we see another difference between the Japanese and American mindset. I'll bet you that if any dubbing is done, they will hire expensive actors to do the voices. Whereas there is really no requirement for that kind of thing, you're really not going to sell more tickets just because Justin Timberlake is doing a voice or something.
Exchange 2003 can do everything you talked about with it's Intelligent Mail Filter optional component. The problem is that there's no real configuration, only a number they assign called the SCL. You configure 2 thresholds - one for dumping the message and another for putting it in the junk mail folder. However the real drawback is that you don't really know what it is that goes into the SCL rating engine. How they assign spam probabilities. wee. -__-
It worked fine for me on my yahoo account, until one of my friends (you _do_ give out your real email address to your friends, don't you?) had a virus. One that whored out my address to others, and from there it made it's way onto the mailing lists. Still that didn't really last long as I didn't find my way onto the real bad ones.
I'll tell you what's going to happen, every ipod that comes out of the factory is going to have the latest firmware preloaded inside it, and it's also probable that future purchases from the iTunes store is going to require this firmware update to support the songs purchased. In any case, you're going to update. Period.
I'm in Singapore, which is also in a bilateral FTA with the USA. My concern is that the FTAs that are being pushed through are actually a blatant attempt to enforce american law in countries where they have no prior influence over. If you're looking for a governing body over the entire internet, there it is, America is becoming the Nazi that will police the cyberstate of the Internet(s!). Of course, living in the commie state that I do, you'll never hear any of these concerns voiced over the mass media channels, which are all but overflowing with praise for the government and their clever negotiating of this FTA. Fear.

Tell that to CNet. They own com.com and keep sending people there.

He gets shot at, and then multiplies into two! Twice the fun!
At least you didn't put on your robe and wizard hat...

Well, it makes me feel better now that America is playing catch up... Not alot better, I mean, but at least the world is fair again...

Why hasn't anyone said anything about the environmental effects of using these widescale?
You fail it. The whole point was to impersonate the user w/o having to know his password. Runas specifically requires knowledge of a user's password.

Soap operas have been using story arcs for generations. That's the precedence you should be using.

If you can't SPELL it, you can't SEARCH it. At least not too well. Here's a tool to help the less literate.
Step 1: Plug modem into dedicated phone line Step 2: Connect evil device of doom to said modem Step 3: Telemarketer calls ...
There is no Step 4.
