30% of all webservers? Sheesh, and folks wonder why Linux never gets anywhere. I mean here you have a company that sinks serious money into R&D and improvements to the ENTIRE Linux ecosystem, yet because there are so many Linux users that are "free as in beer!" you'd rather run your network on a hacked copy and risk getting screwed, like when CentOS nearly went tits up, than to actually spend a buck and help pay for your own OSes improvements by supporting the company making those improvements.
I'm sure I'll be modded down for daring to point out this sad little bit of reality, but you want to know why Linux is a blip on the map? Here you go. Companies rightfully see there is no money in Linux because FOSSies will go to great lengths not to pay even when it ultimately hurts themselves. Think RH did this change for fun? Nope, it is because you and so many others are slowly killing the company by refusing to buy the product but you want the fruits of their labor anyway.
Mod points for the man please. I am a die hard Linux advocate, and I have had to battle this disease in the trenches.
Here you are wrong. We have had a national ID for several years now. In the form of your drivers license. Think about that next time you get on an airplane, and they shine that special light on your Drivers License or ID card when you're getting in line for your complimentary molestation.
They made all Drivers license status reciprocal in all states, where a suspension in Arizona will result in a suspension everywhere else, so they are linked. This means law enforcement in Florida has access to Law enforcement in Arizona with the speed of a call, or query.
Don't believe me still? Then why would airports across the nation be shining that light on your DL or ID, regardless of the state of issue?
Are there any studies out there about how much HIPAA compliance costs?
Probably. They won't mean much. HIPAA is the new boogyman so any 'compliance cost' estimate will be full of untested assumptions, incorrect assumptions, wild ass guess and gonzo statistics. It's really NOT all that hard to follow most of the HIPAA rules. DHS has made it clear that they're not going after each and every little mistake that people make but are instead going after willful, major violations, such as the one in TFA.
I used to work for a medical facility and this very thing was rampant. The ladies thought they could read the law and instantly understand what was required. They would spend hours in the conference room conjuring up IP policies they knew nothing about, and expect me to my behind on the legal line. No thanks.
Well considering the papers are whining about losing readership. Why post something in a newspaper when you can do it online for free?
Damn right someones trying to put craigslist out of business. Any guesses who that could be?
But tell you what, you better start being careful who you call a criminal, just for the medium they choose to make legitimate transactions. You never know what kind of political fallout you're going to get.
Yep, Kids have no business engaging in a relationship earlier that 16 *in this nation* because the collective of society is just too effing market driven. You haven't had sex YET? What's Wrong with you?!!?
Don't talk about using a condom, girls "In love" will allow, "Whatever you want". Pills? No child will remember to take them in the morning. Children are not as mindful of consequences as you think. 12 year olds are entirely social creatures and are driven to one up their peers at every turn. You as a Parent are responsible for choosing her peers. If you're not there to guide them in their selection then you have failed. Massively.
Being a parent requires constant and vigilant intervention. While more self directed a 12 year old has the same wander as a child first learning to walk. They will walk where they are curious. You need access to all their communications, because they haven't yet earned the trust required to allow them to have that unfettered communication.
Bottom line is this, All these people that say I am over protective, is my indication I have it right. As a youth, whenever I made the same argument, was in anger over the realization that so in so's parent's weren't going to let me get close enough to her to have my way.
And I tell you what, there's a lot of intervention I am very appreciative my parents made on my behalf. And that's a true sign of maturity.
There is a difference from being in control, and being controlling.
Huge difference. To be controlling you don't need much in the way of information, just domination. To have control, you need information to intercept activities seemingly by accident. This helps other parents as well. A perfect example.
Other parents child mails my child about plans on getting laid that night. ( She's 12 ) I can A. inform her parents thereby exposing my data source and / or ruining the trust she has in my Daughter or B. Take my family out to dinner and invite the other parent's daughter to come with us, and possibly a movie. Contact the Perps parents and disclose where his email can be "accidentally" discovered, and let the boys parents deal with that. Talk to The daughters parents and advise the boys parents informed them of the mail. thereby canceling that relationship.
Scenario two, Another Parent and her Daughter sends mine a facebook message about losing her virginity and her BF didn't use a condom. The mother intercepted that mail and took her to the doc for a day after pill, an examination, and other kit.
Scenario 3, Boy rsvp's to an invitation for a gang fight. --- I could go on, but you get the idea.
All are scenarios where bad consequences were avoided because a child's privacy was invaded. Children aren't adults, and have no expectation of privacy. Having information allows you to take action where otherwise inaction would constitute poor parenting. Think about this if The first example turned into a Gang rape, or the second example turned into a pregnancy and transmission of Aids, and the third example, was a participant in the top two.
Imagine how you would feel when the investigating office asked, "You should have had access to all of this information, or should have demanded it. You could have avoided this, what have you to say for yourself? " And the Cuffs go on. If more parents were prosecuted for reckless endangerment for not monitoring their child's communications this would be less of a problem. And I believe a child is more an adult by 16 than 18.
Let me insert, eat *age appropriate* dirt. We don't shield, but we advise and instruct about certain conditions as development permits. So they can *see* the issue, before they become enveloped in it. Questions such as "Why does Auntie have a black eye?", We go into detail about how some men and women are god awful mean to those they are supposed to love. And then use the internet to show images of other examples, and explain that Auntie really doesn't want help, that's the kind of love she's used to etc. When Offered all kinds of chances to leave she might have, but went right back etc.
The Internet is a powerful and valuable tool, like a car or firearm. but you don't let kidz operate either without *close* supervision.
Spoken like someone that has no clue about real parenting.
Don't stay in touch, you are a *Parent* Stay in control. And yes, if you do your job right you will have control. Any parent that hasn't had their child hate them in some point in life hasn't been doing their job.
Which is worse, having your child's online privacy invaded, or your child's privacy invaded by a speculum by the OB when she's going in for her prenatal checkup?
I have 8 children, so I can speak authoritatively on this subject.
My Kidz have no expectation of privacy at all. I get a copy of every email they receive, and every computer is in the living room. Educating them of the risks, will only make them curious, depending on how you bring it up. No it's not over protection, they will be taught about x,y,z, when they have reached an appropriate age. Censoring their communications endures that *I* remain the parent. And yes we homeschool.
Don't like it ? Too bad. I had the same thoughts and beliefs as the OP before I had kids. Then I learned a thing or two.
You love your children? Want to keep them safe? Don't tell them to go play in the (information) Highway. Without at least keeping tabs on what their doing. Seriously.
This isn't a flame, but I expect I will be modded down by the majority of non-parents or liberal parents that give their kidz alcohol and cigarettes.
"Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations" (Jer 1).
honestly these guys are full of shit. I come out of a family with a long tradition of strict religion but me and both my siblings are non religious. Sure this is only anecdotal evidence but the article also doesn't have the data 100% on its side. Their entire study is based on this sentence:
"an individual’s predisposition toward religion is likely to be influenced by Parenting"
Hi MR AC! If you would have read TFA or even TFS (I know I know, but I got bored) you would see they provide a link to The MSFT "fix it for me" page for this problem. Just click on "fix it for me" run the fix it, and that's it. Don't even need a reboot.
I'm sending the link to my customers and family now, and since it makes a restore point before applying it is easy to undo if you need to, although with previous "fix it for me" tweaks that I've run the MSFT patch released later took care of the fix it tweak before applying the patch.
Oh I so trust Microsoft to not have any ill intentions regarding previously undocumented operations. And remember those disgusting and insulting commercials from MS for the "release party" for the latest os? Yea the above quote doesn't smack of that at all...
From the Software company that still refuses to acknowledge Back Oriface was a threat to "Here, take this pill trust us" .
Well if Politics in this alliance proceed anything like the various space stations we have had in orbit then I think Ice would be the least of our concerns.
