    Active directory is not only used to authenticate users, where it's value is derived from is the ability to organized your entire computer network into organizational units and apply custom policies to each of those OUs. Think of this as having a *nix repository for every OU and in this repo there is a custom script to modify /etc to apply the correct policy to all your machines. Now add the ability to do all this with a couple mouse clicks. This is active directory.

    It depends: there is a reaction happening. Does the temp or pressure affect the reaction? If they do, did the engineer get the conversion right?

    Did MS actually say there was no technical restriction? It seems to me it would be very easy to collect info on windows vm drivers and then just refuse to install/use them. Windows will only work inside a vm if the vm is able to install drivers in windows for the vms virtual hardware.

    when the spyware/malware people start bundling rootkits as part of the infection? I'm not really worried much about the responce of the anti-virus people as much as I'm worried about the responce I'll get from Microsoft when I ask: How can I keep code from installing this type of code into windows.

    I'm afraid the answer I'm going to get is: We don't know.

    So if a federal judge orders me to mow his lawn it's illegal not to?

    No, there has to be a law behind his order.

  18. Re:Verifying compiler? Correctness proving tools? on Grand Challenges For The Next 20 Years · · Score: 1

    The problem with the halting problem is that it can never answer "no this program never halts". However, we can ask: do we really need to solve problems like the halting problem in everyday IT situations?

    If not we can restrict languages so they can only create things verifiable.

    This somewhat follows from Goedels theorm. If we want something that is going to be consistent, it will not be able to express everything in the domain. But once we've restricted the domain enough(take out self reference), we have something that is consistent(verifiable).

  21. Re:No, it was like on Richard Clarke on Cyberterrorism and Iraq · · Score: 1

    The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.

    This is why human sacrafice is okay.

    Are you saying we should have allowed Saddam to continue to slaughter Iraqi kurds by the tens or hundreds of thousands? Is it not better to risk killing a few to prevent not only the death but the certain torture of thousands more?

    So American soldiers come in and get to replace Saddam doing the murdering and torturing? No.

    Was not Saddam openly offering $25k to the family of each suicide bomber to blow up Israelis and Americans, in the name of Palestine, anywhere in the world?

    American tax dollars are given to Israel each year in loans. This means every American taxpayer is responsible for financing murder everytime an Israeli soldier shoots first and asks questions later. I agree that both Isreal and Palistine are responsible for the shitty situation they live in. But getting mad at Saddam for financing one side is bogus when America is financing the other side. As for Saddam paying families of bombers who blow up Americans, the article you cited made no references to this, where did it come from?

  22. Re:It depends on Google Censors Abu Ghraib Images [updated] · · Score: 1

    Yeah but....

    We have a very closed administration. I think there is a huge gap between what people hear the administration is doing and what the administration is doing. I belive the administration is consiously doing this because it is a good strategy. Why is this a good stragety? You can tell people what they want to hear and they'll have a difficult time figuring out you're doing something different. Also it lets the wackjobs make up crazy insane shit, making everyone associated with said wackjobs look a little less sane. How can a democrat be a ration person with the way Michael more makes shit up? All other democrats must make things up to. I'd rather listen to what my party(administration) makes up and not have to worry about the facts. This will only work if the administration isn't open.
    (I don't consider myself republican or democrat)

    I feel this needs to be said because if the administration stated its policy on this matter we would be able to easily rule out its involvement.
