Could be true, but the trope works both ways in this situation.
All I am trying to do is point out there is no such thing as a free lunch. Every action has a consequence.
All these yahoos seem to forget that they don't live in a bubble. We live in a society where our actions effect each other. When it comes to addictions, they need to be measured in their ill effects. Every drug has a negative health effect from Asprin, to Alchohol, to Caffine. It is the consequences of that drug that need to be measured. To say there is no consequence is just to publicize ignorance and to hurt a given cause.
Every 2 factor fails at some point, doubly so for biometrics. I just thought it was an interesting idea. Personally I am liking phonefactor for our 2 factor, it is robust in that the only situation it doesn't work for are the dead zones. Which in the time we have been using it...hasn't been a problem.
fat and lazy would be a negative health effect. But as my statement goes, it depends on whether or not it effects society.
From NIDA: "A number of studies have shown an association between chronic marijuana use and increased rates of anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, and schizophrenia.
dude, each one of those has negative health effects, massive ones at that...just because they don't kill you doesn't mean they don't have negative side effects.
But yes, addiction is a term that is abused way too much.
Dude don't try to argue with the ACs, until they have consoled a Spouse who is infertile they have no reference. It is a deep sorrow, but instead of knowing an end is coming, it is something you have to live with for the rest of your life.
It took me a second though to make the connection so I can see why they wouldn't get it. But the comparison is accurate.
Ok no offense here, but as an individual who loves kids and is infertile myself. (been trying for 4 years before finding out we were infertile). We will be adopting 4 kids over the next few years hopefully. However, there is a point when you have to stop and realize nature is telling you something. If you have a massive genetic disorder that keeps you from having children then perhaps you should adopt rather than continue the line of poor genes? Will our own narcissism be our undoing eventually as we pass on these traits to our children?
In response to your Religious accusations, you have to remember most of these religious institutions do not have anything against new fertility treatments. But when you draw the line for humanity at conception, any fertility treatments that involve destroying embryos would be viewed with the same level of morality as people who kill babies after they are born. However, the Church would support it if the embryos were adopted out.
Name one drug that causes no negative health effects...
The better question is, do the effects (good or bad), of the drug effect society in any way. If so then society has a say in its use. if not then party on.
Oh I missed your question at the end of your post somehow. I have multiple policies, the users know that if their password is 8 characters complex they rotate monthly, if their password is 15+ they get a much longer rotation, possibly a year if I can find research to show it. Essentially the user tells me they want to be put on the other policy and I apply the policy to their account and have them change their password. Everyone is happy:)
Users are a threat, a MASSIVE threat, just look at the major data leaks over the past few years. Many came from well intentioned users. However the passphrase approach has been around for a long time. Unfortunately until server 2008R2 we had no good way of encouraging users as everyone had to be put under the same policy. Now you can start rewarding users for being more secure. Rewards systems work much better than punishment systems for this type of thing. Google Passwords vs Passphrases, the first article that comes up is around a decade old and from MS of all places.
2 factor is often expensive and difficult to implement. One of the interesting ones I have seen recently is the ability for a computer to learn how you type, so you can have a simple phrase for a password but if you don't type it like yourself then it wont let you on.
Tokens get lost, biometrics can be considered intrusive, and knowledge items are easily obtained.
If you COULD guarantee that your 365 day old password was not hacked you would have a point. But how do you know it has not been hacked? The best method right now is to encourage passphrases as they are easy to make up, and people will not increment them it is too much of a hassle. I love my dog can become I love my cat or I love my little fluffy. The basic problem is that passwords are outdated, dont work, and are impractical.
On our LAN I put rational policies in place. Essentially I look at the threat of an event and what it will take to mitigate it. If I am worried about a brute force attack I can solve that by password rotation or increasing complexity. I let the user choose which they are comfortable with. Some users dont want to use a passphrase so they have to change their password more often. Other people have realized that "I love my dog fluffy." is really easy to remember and since it meets my complexity and length requirements I make the password rotation much much longer.
Yes, In 2008 AD you can do granular password policies, and yes this works VERY well. Not only do I have a pile of users with 15+ characters, I have users who WANT to use these passwords.
I find that when you give the users a choice and work with them, security goes much smoother. users will always take the easiest way out, every time.
Umm the market gave palm a fair shake, well over a decade. The Palm Pixi and Pre, while great devices are too little too late. Palm was the bad ass in the market that thought if they didnt change what was selling then they would stay the bad ass. Luckily, markets quickly make mince meat of the lack of ingenuity in a company. Palm should be dominating the marketplace but they underestimated the value of eyecandy and the importance of multimedia capabilities in their devices.
Here in Nebraska just last week we had a need for Ham radios when our telephones went dead. No problem for cell phone users until they tried to dial 911. Out came the Ham radio operators using the contingency plans for y2K parked at major intersections where people could get a hold of them and contact authorities. There are just some technologies that are just too useful to get rid of.
I have a graph in my head that pops up every time I see someone smoking. The X axis is time, the Y axis is the 'issues' scale. If you are a smoker the younger you are currently, the greater number of issues you have. I think this rational is due to the fact that anyone under 40 or so should know better due to a number of factors, yet still chose to start smoking. I cannot blame our parents for smoking but the teens today are either idiots or trying to cover for something.
Ok people, do you have any CLUE how many radio waves are going through your body at any given time? I mean seriously do people think that GPS's, Cell Phones, Watches, all have some kind of invisible tether? Your best hope is to find a cave in the mountains. Not a home in suburbia...
The other funny part is, I only get the 10/1 when I go to a server about a mile from my house for testing. If I hit something say....300 miles away...the bandwidth goes down by two thirds...how is that for infrastructure...
After some dicking around last night I did get it up to about 9.5Mb/.950Mb which isnt bad but then I found out I am supposed to be getting 15. What sucks is that a household can be paying for 15 and be getting 5 but no one would be the wiser, and TW will never tell you. There is no QoS or SA to honor....
That is because it is all about proving a level of security, not calling something unbreakable. What they prove here is that it is not reasonable for any street thug to crack this sucker, it is up to the business professional to decide if that security is adequate enough for the data it is going to hold. The competition does what it is supposed to do. Release to the public and time will do the rest.
Ya I pay for the "Extreme" Roadrunner in my area. which gives me a better upstream for my telecommuting wife. supposedly 10M/1M but it is more like 3M/768k, most of this is due to really high latency and dropped packets. When it works it works, so I guess by this guy's definition I get my 10/1, just as long as you don't count the packet loss...

Now I have something else I MUST have that I didn't even know about before, damn you slashdot!
Sorry buddy, Logitech all the way, sure they are pricey but damn you cant get another mouse that is half as good as the MX series anywhere.

hmmm interesting observation as I have just recently started smoking cigars while on vacation...averaging 2 a year...

maybe, just maybe you watch too many movies...
It will be the matrix all over again....
