OBVIOUSLY if they make it always available on everyones computers like torrent seeds, and the person has no knowledge of it, guess what you are a pedophile too, and when they bust in on the 15000th person who didnt know anything about it, the judicial system will have to relax their laws from having too many false positives popping up.
I always said the best hackers were in the porn industry!
they are global and have been used by the military, call them explain what you need, they do everything from rv, boat, camp, military, golf cart, houses, corporate....heck if you want they can even send you someone to help you full time for your situation as they have contractors too, that could investigate what your needs are if you dont quite fully understand the stuff you may need for your situation, nothign worse then being told to buy all sorts of stuff, when you only needed a few things.
also many of the posts above mention wise advice about learning what your needs are and how critical your situation may be (post disaster scenarios...) i would highly suggest maybe getting a few diff set ups. Get the solar power stuff, get the diesel generators AND the bio ethanol generators... plus also set up a rig that can accept extra power to help load up the charge batteries, ie- if someone can help and they have a diesel truck, leave it running to help charge your batteries during the night, that way you have extra charge you would need to get someone to figure out how to implement a cable system and load balancing system to accpet that charge into your batteries that are also connected for your solar power cells...
I might also recommend getting like a pit crew for nascar...a full rig that has all this built into it or maybe a bigger cab truck with the double axles...as being mobile is very important...you never know if a tornado comes back around a second time etc.... and if you come in already set up so to speak, and can leave with minimal time to load...the better for you
good luck...all the best with you efforts to help those in need
some of them dont know how to use time servers, so maybe just hire someone to do the rounds and just updated the servers MANUALLY.....wow that would be real hard.
Not even worth a story on/. if you ask me.
Not at all, you could have the best drivers everywhere , and if you live in an area where the government is so poorly run ( as we have here in montreal) the poorly laid out construction plans make for some serious delays regardless or not of accidents. The people who make the construction plans arent even engeneers or even live in our area to know how to set up grids in order to keep the traffic moving while one street is closed.
Also our construction gets done about every year for certain streets because our government thinks it to be smarter to pay the least possible to the worst contractors who cut corners everywhere they can and have to do this every year, instead of getting much better workers who actually know what they are doing and that the streets paved and laid down would actually last minimum 10 years as they do in lets say ontario.
The problem arises from all the corruption in our political system especially in quebec where they all line their pockets while in office!!!
I had a friend that was the ultimate guru when he was teaching me about linux.
He showed me that when partitioning certain things he made a special partitioned that contained
system stuff, and then went on to burn that partition on a cd-rom which he would then boot from and could never be overwritten. Sort of a nice way of making sure that the files are the sames ones you started out with, this was 8 years ago before the craze of knoppix boot cds. Now you can boot your whole system if you have a dvd drive installed, and boots dvds 4.7gb. is almost enough for everything!! : )
If they really wanted to get to the bottom of this, they would implement rom chips which are flashed once and can not be changed once burned, with your personal global id, of course this would be implanted in your wrist or somewhere easily readable for certain access points.
Then you would of course be part of a global movement of which many countries would participate in trying to obtain the lowest amount of crime.
Hey wait....thinking about that comment, bush being the anti-christ, do you think he
knows that the chip ids and the smartid cards etc... are all going to be going down this road eventually.....do you think he has a ring side seat in hell if it does???
Wasn't the show based on a movie anyways....so they come around full circle.
I havent seen an episode yet that was original, even if this is my favorite show on
tv at the moment. There is a parallel episode for each one from Star Trek...
and I guess now they are considering the movies as well, seeing as the other guys did it.
I got to say they were clever in re utilizing all the star trek episodes and giving them
a new twist, the replicators = the borg etc...but the main focus of the show was the team.
Richard Dean Anderson was my fav and now that he has cut ties with stargate I feel no need to
watch it further, although I guess if there is nothing else at the movies I will pay to see that one!
Yes, the pro has more stuff to control your environment plus comes with antispyware and anitvirus which the free version doesnt, all in all it is my favorite all round tool to have although i keep spybot running as backup plan2
I think that a better security system would be to have one repository for such information something that is associated by a third party answering to the government as we know the government itself is never capable of establishing ground breaking development, always comes from outsourced work.
Once this repository is created, then we could implement a security feature that anyone needing such information would have access to that persons associated record number, if they pass clearance, then based on the level of permission that the owner of that info (the person who has his records in the repository )gave that company....they have a limited access of info. The higher the permission , the more info, this could be tied into the hospitals, credit bureaus, banks etc...and also the government would have the highest access without need for permission of course...this would also stop
such things as passed information for telemarketing,
they cant get your info based on no clearance, someone giving them your record number
would not give them their own access number so that would nip the telemaketing
and such in the bud!
It would be a better thing to push someone into finding out more about their operating system
and learning about all the useless services that come installed by default on windows that take up a lot of memory and use up a lot of time & resources, instead of pushing them unto a different OS
altogether that might take them twice as long to understand and also might not do what they need it to do!
A better thing is always to push to learn the stuff we don't know instead of pushing
what we think would be easier as we see it. Linux/Unix is not easier, actually it is a lot harder, even though more gratifying as you end up learning so much more about OS's then you do on windows.
However, the key factor in this scenario is why would it take so long to boot, when I have a windows machine that boots within 15 seconds and gets out of hibernation in like 3???
Maybe one word can describe the problem.... PICNIC
Problem In Chair Not In Computer!!!
You could control you house from a distance, heat lights etc.... give the impression that you are still there when you want them to think you are.... also set up cams on the outside and inside of the house...so you can view it, you could have the cam start only when motion is detected
but then again it depends if you paid 70,000 for you house,and don't
have squat in it or if you own a half a million dollar home...
: )
Have you taken a good look at what the Syrian government has blocked lately.
All forms of mass communication has been blocked, I had to develop something for a friend
as he had his yahoo & msn & icq all blocked, so as far as VoIP, i believe it to be the same.
They filter everything, and are extremely concious about what their public is up to.
If you don't believe me, try asking someone who has lived there and tried to use msn messanger
if you RTFA....you would have seen that this technology is what we are talking about,
I am sure that the paper scheme is the least important of concerns, and if you create copies
and store them, lamimate them, you still use 2 sheets of paper compared to discs which are not
recyclable....you just shred the paper and create new ones....backups my man backups.....
plus someone wants to sell you an mp3, showing you have bought a legal copy of an mp3 will be much easier in court now that you have your bill & the mp3 on the same piece of paper
Have a nice day
"Now this is what I am talking about!"
I am certain it has nothing to do with the schools themselves but the parents
I left at 16 (as my father so put it in a nice few rods for me) 'cause if you don't like it, you can leave....well I left, and found responsibility, as well as respect for myself and also
had maybe more money in the end to play with (sad but true...)...so if the teenager of today sees
he isn't getting the respect he thinks he deserves, he will quit school,make his own money
and if the parents aren't cool about it, leave home and start their life.
Kids grow up way to fast these days because the parents don't take enough responsibility for
their kids actions....but this is not that big a deal as todays kids aren't further ahead
then let's say 1000 years ago...Alexander the great had his army going through Mesapotamia
at the age of 22 conquering other lands, which meant that he must have started his army at about
16 or so.....makes you wonder what his parents did!!!
They allow to pass laws at swiping the info, but don't push for the bars to only be allowed to use a reader that cant be interfaced, sort of like a quick read (for those dumb doormen that cant tell your age from your birthday) Hey it says here you are 22...welcome to our club...and then let them pass, there does not have to be a reader that loads the info into a database.....
not if the reader has the interface already built into it to display the age.....
Shows the politicians are just puppets on strings

Obviously neither do you, it would be very easy to create a random AI built into each level
local/state/continent that would then produce an event charged with certain characters from a
bank of characters based on location and level of play or difficulty that would generate
a storyline for a desired result....
ie- randomly rolled event "earthquake" = local + state + maybe continent (depends how big)
towns and cities are devastated...many places are in ruin.... workers are running evrywhere
building the houses back ( sort alot like age of empire which somehow blizzard managed to emulate with their lumber cutters...so they could use the same model for city workers)...slowly the towns are rebuilt...new quests pop up everywhere for all different levels
the lower more mundane...we need to get fresh water...go to the waterfall outside our city(stormwind) and fill these jugs....the more jugs the more xp...
the higher level.....they would be garrisoned to protect the city as nearby horde camps would definately see an advantage to attack or maybe blizzard also creates a horde quest
to go steal an artifact in the now less protected town or city(requires a raid)...these are what makes Dungeons Masters tick man....god forbid we should replace paper & pen
with computers, we all lose our imagination! SHEESH
This would only apply if you know how to use the windows visual studio environment. I would say most people speaking of such things are the ones used to telling or being told "I need this to be done in 2 weeks and has to do everything even clean the windows in my apartment" so you go to your visual studio toolbox and start to program something they need that ties into all the other apps you created and with the push of the button you create through predefined templates and code smith add-ins a full app that does what they want and talks with the other programs in about 2 hours and leaves you about 2 weeks to play golf.
For those who love the mad max experience, Waterworld was just another
sequel per say......but I tend to think that being a Kostner vehicle
not only does it help pay their bills, but for the adolescent minds
of today being so fine tuned to the cyber world, this movie will
definately make its money back....if Peter Jackson
does as good a job as on his other movies
Thanks for listening to my blah blah
If they were at all really interested in being the regular traffic, and maybe using more resources then they do, thier bots would have HTTP request capability and view webpages for their content so as to retrieve cleverly hidden commands in the text of the web page, so that someone's blog would contain commands for Alpha one, and Alpha two, with dates.
This is the same tactic regularly used by our own secret agencies and the terrorists while communicating with each other. They blend their text into the newspapers, blogs, normal web pages etc...
The HTTP request would parse out most of the text, and would have to be coded in binary for the url to avoid detection or an actual http request in order to further avoid detection by the antivirus and adware killers!
Now that i have given out the secret let's sit back and watch how much more the internet will be interesting!!!
if its done properly of course it will,
you would have to log into multiple proxies,
through a zombie network,
execute a remote install of the software unto lets say some
library in canada where file sharing is still legal,
then set up the configurations, allow for everyone to see it,
slashdot the location and then create your own user account
that almost everyone uses to download from, there, free anonymous downloads , dont forget to cover your tracks....usually set someone else'e fake tracks instead
so as to send them on a wild goose chase until they realise
it was the wrong person...i usually like to send my boss's
home ip address in these cases...
There is a software I am aware of that does exactly all this, and is
right now taking off for the medical sector....to be able to follow from start to finish all the demands for new materials etc.... also has a web based interface and easy to use
master configuration UI fro seperating roles and groups for tracking.
I think the link is http://www.gesco.info/forfaits_en.asp
I would believe that some company that puts their whole reputation on the line by handling people's lifeblood code in their hands would make sure to do a little more then just check names of variables...
I would think first that they have a big database of source code (of which they probably put a disclaimer for in their license agreement and put your code in their db for further use...) and compare to see if you have not already used someone else's code signature or even GPLed code for that matter.
Second, they would also probably put a stress test to any network type interaction within a honeypot to observe the demands of the software in question...seeing as it is possible to tie up multi threads quite nicely with poorly designed code and create a DDOS attack within a network....
Thirdly but not least, they also probably stress factors such as math rounds, nested function calls, and memory leaks....and no way you can also guarantee that running a highly intensive program on a server that already has a big charge would allow for someone to not purposely leave out the part about requiring a certain amount of resources (thereby freezing up your whole server). This is what they would end up finding out for you, once all this has been checked into on your behalf (if you are the purchasing party needing such services).
And again, once you have been through it once, and have been certified, it ends up working in your favor for future endeavors , and can make a very nice plaque on the wall!
