I think we are talking about different levels of 'secure.' My house is secure, in that most people would not bother going into it. However if I had anything of high value I would get a vault and keep it locked up. And depending on how much it's worth, burying the vault into the foundation of the house would be the best place to keep it. However I'm fully aware that my home could be entered at any time without my connect by some one with criminal intent. Computers are the same way. Email is secure because no one bothers to brake in and read mine. If I wanted a secure computer the only way to do so is have it in a 'vault' as in isolated form other computers. (And as this article is about searches without a search warrant I'm not going to talk about due process)
Remember the thinkgeek.com tee shirt "i read your e-mail"? We as the nerd community have known for years that if its on a computer it's fair game for any one clever enough to find a way in. The only secure system is the one that isn't networked and doesn't do anything that requires personal information of any kind, so that leaves us the NES and the TI85. Now the government want's to play with this power. Who is shocked by this?
Some place in the middle of Kansas. 90% of all pension plans and 50% of all health/welfare plans filing in the same window, all averaging 2mb. It not that the data amount is that large, it's that it's all going to hit on the 15th of October at around 12:00pm pst.
Taxed is right. I know this isn't for personal tax returns but this year the IRS and DOL are going with only electronic filing for the form 5500. Most returns are filed on the last day of the extension period. According to an outside annalists the servers can handle the load, but there isn't enough copper and fiber going into the town that houses the data center handle the load. According to them it would take about 100 times the pipes to handle the expected load. Yeay EFAST2! Please file early.
That makes me laugh because the first thing said when I saw an iPad was 'some one watched to much Next Gen and wants a PADD of their very own.' Perhaps Jobs should make us all speak Vulcan, because Spock was cooler than the Klingons.
Down the block from my apartment their is a machine shop with about three of them. It's a prototyping shop that also makes parts for other manufactures. Watching the lathes go can be an amazing thing.
Dose any one still think that a keylogger is not a standard component of all computer hardware? If it's a computer and hooked to the internet then obviously the government is watching you. That's why I only post to Slashdot from work.
Um, without the power armor this is how it would go down.
Stark - "Have a drink?"
Bond - "Thank you, Martini sh..."
Stark - "...Shaken but not stirred, I know, Q and I are old friends. By the way, next time you see him, tell him I built something he might like. But for now.." Pours two very large martinis.
Four hours later Bond has his own suit of power armor that looks like a tux and Stark is off chasing skirts.
It's more like you own a truck, and you are driving accost town anyway, so your friend asks you to pick up a box and deliver it. Sure you had to burn a little more gas, and it took about fifteen minutes more, but it's your friend, and compared to what you were doing to start with it's not a big deal, aka 'free'.
The same thing works with Google and YouTube. Compared to the whole cost of running Google, the cost of YouTube is little more than a rounding error, and odds are it is comfortably hosted in 'extra' space and run on 'extra' bandwidth that isn't needed right now, but has been paid for already, so it's basally 'free'.
I thought of this after I posted. I bet the HR person must have had a good laugh, drafted the letter, and then sent a copy to her friends who like to play Jedi for the fun of it.
This strikes me as an HR employee seeing some one being a complete Idiot and deserving to get several books thrown at him, and instead thinking "I'm just going to say I'm sorry and let this whole thing go, it's not worth shouting over, even though I'm right." If more people were this mature the world would have a lot fewer needless arguments in it. Just letting things go, too bad more people don't do it.
Good point. But people who love money can never have enough. Rich is always 250% of current net worth, so the fact that they arn't money grubbing right now is a good sign. Also, this was in their contract for a long time, so they were thinking about Art from the beginning.
I think it would be very cool of them to come out and say that because this is about Art any one who downloaded an incomplete album will be given the rest free of charge, if they promise to sit down and listen to the whole album start to finish, on the day it is downloaded. Pardon the pun, but that would rock.
I think Pink Floyd isn't worried about money any more. This is about art, and obviously art is more important than money for them. This keeps them from having lots of lame boxed sets made, or songs downloaded out of context so the artistic point gets blunted.
I would mix that with a small group plan. If you are starting your own business and can make your wife a partner you might be able to set up a small group plan for your business. That will save you some cash on premiums.
I kinda thought the graying of Apple went along with the Graying of Mr. Jobs. He has been the creative drive behind Apple for a long time, and as people age their tastes change. He has a much more understated persona than he once did, and switching from Rainbow Loud to Sleek Grey could be a symptom of this.
For a long time my standard line when any one complained abut their computer was to ask them if they sacrificed a chicken on the copier to the Computer Gods. Depending on my mood I would tell them to try KFC or McNugits.
No it looks dull to me. But I think Zapm has the best graphics of any scifi game ever, and it looks a lot like nethack. I'm not the best person to pick the movie every one will like.
Technology and wisdom are not the same thing. Technology is science applied in such a way to preform a task. Wisdom is knowledge applied in such a way as to cause improvement. They are similar, but technology can be used to make things worse, greater wisdom is only an improvement. For example, I could use slashdot to learn more and get a feel for what other people are thinking (wisdom) or I can troll with links to shock sights.

Great, now where will I keep my super secret Tetris clone.

My hat is off to you Pink Floyd!
Google can see the future. Didn't I tell you about that tomorrow?
What, you don't like my jumpsuit...I'll switch to spandex then.

I can make a tin foil hat with my feet. It's important to practice such skills because you might get handcuffed one day.

I think we should call it the Newton. It sounds good, and it does not start with an i or an e.
I for one welcome our new Mindstorm(tm) overlords having a grammar war over Lego/Legos.
Are you kidding me? I have that written on my shirt. :-)
