Mumbai police found that the attackers had used illegal SIM cards not linked to their identities as well as SIM cards from other countries. So they are cracking down on SIM cards so if some terrorist enters the country they can track him and tap his calls.
Then they heard about skype which uses IP so they need a way to tap that as well. Then there is google voice (maybe) and FaceTime. They have to crack down on wifi because it works a bit like cellular comms.
You see the whole tracking of communication thing is slipping between their fingers and they are grabbing whatever they can, not expecting to get even 1%. I doubt it will make a difference in the next attack.
But computer science graduates don't go into IT. Thats a blue collar profession now. Installing windows and reloading printers.
Your definition of IT is very narrow. My guess is you're not in a computer field. I'm a CS grad working as a sysadmin, and while I do install Windows/OSX/Linux sometimes, there's a _lot_ of things that require well thought out planning before the "blue-collar" imaging-monkeys can do their work. And usually after they do their work...
In my 22 years in the industry IT has been splitting off from engineering and becoming narrower as it goes. In a previous job the group I was in maintained the computers for operational traffic signal systems as well as the workstations for the civil engineers who configured the system. In my current job it is a sackable offence for an engineer to attach a computer to the corporate network. You have to log a call, explain your requirements to the help desk person in India and wait a week for the job to work its way through the queue to be addressed locally.
And IT are themselves becoming more process driven, with the bulk of their people being low skilled individuals who do small, simple jobs.
Take showers before going out in public. Brush your teeth twice a day. Get a haircut. Shave. Trim your eyebrow.

It's a bit weird, as overhere I received news IT is picking up and infrastructure and maintenance jobs are still required; companies rely on their IT infrastructure and automation tasks.

I work in transport. Road and air. There is demand for software engineering pretty much wherever you look. In the UK I would expect that rail and sea transport would be more important too.
I'm going to put the waste materials in my mother-in-law's basement, which should be safe, since there's a concrete foundation. I cleaned out a corner next to the washing machine and I plan to stack the cardboard boxes there for the next 50,000 years.
Lets hope the washing machine doesn't leak because water is a great moderator. I am sure neither of us wants your mother-in-laws house to go sky high.
I wouldn't put it past them. Another time at a temple we were sitting on a bench. My wife had a tube of steroid cream for our son's eczema. She put the cream down and a monkey casually walked past a metre or so away, not looking at us. The suddenly, too fast for us to do anything about it, he reached out with his human like hand and grabbed the cream.
Then he started to eat it, which must have been horrible for his insides. No way we could get it back. No problem for us, we just bought more cream.
Going further OT: In Harry Harrison's Stainless Steel Rat books people from the distant future wondered why their ancestors had named their planet "dirt".
Yeah if you work on a building site you engrave your name on your tools. But fire axes in my building are labelled, as are toilets and emergency exits, even though the labels are pretty obvious.
The yarra river in Melbourne has that name because the local aboriginal people pointed to the river and said that word but it turned out later they were commenting on the rate of flow.
Thats amazing. I will have to set aside some time to go through it. My guess is that the document is an attempt to create a written script for an Asian language which is only spoken. Cantonese comes to mind because speakers of that language currently borrow mandarin and chinese writing when they want to write stuff down.
The decipherment of Ugaritic took years and relied on some happy coincidences — such as the discovery of an axe that had the word “axe” written on it in Ugaritic.
Maybe I should go around and write "computer" in English on all my computers, as a service to future language researchers.
One time in Malaysia with my family we stopped our car at a tourist spot and noticed that a monkey had been killed by another vehicle, probably quite recently. Another monkey stood on the road beside the dead body thumping its hands onto the top of its head in an expression of obvious grief.
We got out of the car and I stepped into a crowd of agitated primates, all about 40cm high. The tension between us was clear and frankly terrifying for me. I walked off slowly, trying not to make sudden movements.
I had no doubt that there was empathy between all players in that situation.
Makes me think that Russia had already abandoned these people. They knew the FBI were on to them and cut down on support to limit damage to other parts of their network.
I wouldn't say we don't have the problem. You could get away with another number ob the originating service. We have fewer operators and less competition. which leads to other problems of course.
On all Australian services I've worked with (and as a former Asterisk engineer, I've worked with a few) if you try to present a number that does not belong to the service (or within the number range assigned to that service - provided you've paid for the privilege) then the default number will be presented.
Thats what I mean. You can still pretend to be another number on the same service.

what abuot a building that is 20+ floors tall?

Same it seems as a linux distro with gpg integrated into an email client.

I didn't really believe that Microsoft had patented the bridge rectifier.

Thats right. Monkeys are everywhere in Malaysia. It was only after I got out of the car that I realised I should have parked somewhere else.
How do you propose adding to Debian to make tinycore?

Digital watches.
They don't make you happy, even if you have lots of bits of green paper.

Yeah though boinc is pretty simple. Just a flat array of machines which do stuff. Google is closer to the spaghetti like structure of the brain.
don't have any precise idea of time (vague ordering of events maybe) nor a shared memory; and not everything routes to everything else
Sounds like a large scale distributed system. Maybe somebody should ask google about this.
Maybe he has discovered an algorithm to predict earthquakes. The next big one to hit in SF at 5:32 Wednesday.

In the new universe, trigonometry will be easier, and equations will always look good in print.
Will pi = 3?
Slashdot doesn't log IPs, so there is nothing that can be identified by the police.
So how do ACs get banned?
