I don't agree, if it was your credit card that was frauded, and made your life a miserable hell until the banks decided it wasn't you that did the criminal act, you would be a little more comprehensive.
I have to say I applaud what the person did, I would have gone directly to channel 5 news myself. They like a good story!
If you complain to the right people in your company and they don't do anything adequate about it, all is fair game after that.
If the government makes you accountable for your actions by saying drinking affects your driving and if you get caught, whether you endangered anyone in reality, the possibility was still there. If a government has shoddy security practices AND CONTAINS PERSONAL INFORMATION ON MANY PEOPLE they should be as accountable.
I just hope either a judge somewhere sets a precedent and throws a 500 million dollar fine to the next company I hear about losing data, or having bad security that led to breach. There is not enough accountability for my taste.
please...can someone call 911,....anyone...doesn't anybody have a phone
PLEASE, all they need is one case to set the precedent and make this idea go nowhere. 1 case where they couldn't get help in time because of this stupid law, and 1 death because it took too long to respond.
I have a router and zonealarm installed on all machines at beginning of process for updating... so yes I know what a firewall is...however maybe you never heard that windows home is less secure then windows xp because it comes with certain configurations that you cant undo unless you play in the registry and these same settings allow for certain activex to have admin privs even if they are disabled, can be reenabled and then you get p0wned....something to do with IE....maybe someone has the link for this, I dont have the time to look for it, and I never touch windows home anymore with any size stick or pole!
Yeah, i reinstalled windows home on my gf's comp and within 1 minute of connecting to the net to get the updates, the machine was owned...how do i know....cuz notepad was opening on its on, the taskmanager would not open, and i no longer had access to the control panel as Administrator of the machine!
Anyways, I just hope they are smart enough to use OEMS with the service pack discs to do reinstalls before going on the net but then again this is the US gov we are talking about
Hope they encapsulate the nanotech inside your chips and motherboards with something to protect you from breathing those fumes, when you go to change your HDD
The employer for not making good food readily available to their employees. Have a good cafeteria set up with good food, people will eat it, they are hungry not stupid. They are also pressed for time, so don't put a machine full of junk instead of having a whole wheat sandwich bar nearby.
Second, it's the employees fault. Discipline... and exercise. It's ok to have 3 level 70s on WoW, it's not ok to have a girlfriend that not only lifts more then you, but that you need to help you move cause your out of shape.
I go to the gym at least 4 times a week. If i have to choose between nighttime rest and working out I go to the gym, cause i know no on else will do it for me!
Good for him, although it enforces the expression the rich get richer... I knew wind and solar sources are the way to go for our future... i just wished someone else would have stepped up (Mr.Gates ahumm)
If we keep our oil fiend overlords to now tell us that electricity is going up 10 cents a kilowatt because demands elsewhere are going up, i will scream.
Did we not learn with the oil industry that we must not let someone like THEM have the control. crap is all I can say....
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Talking about security, let's use the most unsecure system out there to host a very secure os....hence give the illusion of security to any of the people wanting to learn to use linux... ANDDDDDD because they hear from *nix geeks everywhere, that there are practically no viruses for linux, they will think "Hey i dont need an anti virus for windows anymore cuz I am using linux now"
Atleast with VMWare they needed to be extra smart to have a blue pill that runs in the astral part of the RAM, now, they will only need a few scripts, and a few kids!!!
"The most unholy of unions!"
ps- for the nix newbies "if you run nix on windows, you ain't running nix!"
We should keep part of it in a museum, but it doesn't really keep up with today's standards of technology, so why keep it.....other then nostalgic reasons, it really is more of a drain then an advantage, are we ever going to use it again to break codes that a clustered computer came up with, no!....break it up , sell the property, keep whatever is necessary in museums, and let bygones be bygones
It falls on the parents until the kid is 18! to be involved in their kid's life and be supportive should anything like this happen, as well as also be not so judgmental, as this would push the kid away from explaining their troubles.
As a parent, I would have first off felt obliged to explain that life does not revolve around some stupid little boy (fictitious or not), then explain that she was the queen of her castle, and that she should stand up to life no matter what it brings her, then finally also go to see this boy's parents about this online abuse, where this would lead to the discovery this boy didn't exist!
you obviously don't get the big picture, it ain't about the processor power, but more so the free processor power, as well as the free access to all data and info stored on those pcs...to give them better analysis of where terrorists might be
Actually better then this for those hardcore windows lovers...create 2 partitions, and set up a dual boot machine to be able to boot either c or d drive....2 copies of the same windows(something i already do anyways for emergency cases...
Keep your files in a special place where most people wont bother checking...you know where.... I like to use a separate partition entirely and make it invisible using partition magic,...
Then before you go to the border...you boot the small and bare bones version of windows...and then hibernate it...thereby forcing the boot process to the windows in hibernation...voila, he sees it pop up...
you can even have a diff. password for the other windows..in case you don't want someone knowing your real one...
They will have access to your emergency version of windows...and leave the rest for later, and the fact you were so forward with all this....will get you through customs much quicker....
Most people that have their pcs p0wned dont know they do, and the only way this would work is if they were to get a letter in the REAL mail not email, stating they have a virus or malware etc... Seeing as most botnets have progs that track all emails sent, they could filter out anything that would let someone know they are infected...and keep sending till the end spam.
I hate to say this, but I think your type of attitude is what gets people in trouble. Who cares, its not that bad....I have neighbors constantly disturbing me to redo their computers each time they get a virus and their comp slows down to a halt.
I tell them what to do and what NOT to do, they still do what the f*ck they want.... so it never changes. There will still be people like you that say things are still ok, then 9/111 happens to show how wrong you / we are in thinking we are safe.
It takes a big catastrophe for someone to say "I told you so"....I just hope it it wont be on your computer with your big collection of porn
ps- I do believe that this one particular type of virus wont be erased if you just format c and reinstall a fresh windows. As it states this memroy will not be regularly accessed.....hence all the "hoopla" about it!
True however there are also those that have just been admitted for let's say an appendix removal or something small, where they could alleviate the hospital bill by doing an experiment like this, you don't need to go for the cancer patient either!
Is it just me, or does it look like evrything we get shipped from or being made in China, seems to have viruses pre-installed. Could it be, nah.....I trust those Chinese people too much. cough, cough

They broke the SHA1 encryption recently,
however PGP's smallest keys start at 128bit encryption
pause......yeah PGP for sure

Both parties are responsible here.

I like this...especially if your boot cd has tripwire installed as well and the original checksums for the files !!
Not if they dont have a house to lose to begin with, or live in a diff. country than ours...
where the laws aren't recognized from US.

Not unless they had to get 3 badges of justice
from quests first before attending...
they can just declare bankruptcy and finalize this whole point.
