Sorry BOFH wannabe, they're not stupid users, they're just users.
If they aren't doing what you would like, you obviously have a training deficiency which might be your fault, not theirs.
How can you possibly secure a network against attacks if your users are constantly undermining your lockdown efforts?
By undermining their efforts. And if they try to undermine your undermining of their undermining, simply undermine their undermining of your undermining of their undermining. It's really quite simple.
I enjoyed the part where their backups failed because the guy who had them drove off of a cliff, we all know that is a problem with a tape backup.
Only in our American cars, which we know (from Hollywood) have a tendency to blow up without fail in a massive fireball as soon as they leave the road.
Depressive, sure but Marvin expressed no manic characteristics whatsoever unless they changed his character to have excited moments.
If so, it would be a shame. The voice of Alan Rickman playing a paranoid android was a great bit of casting. Anyone who has seen Galaxy Quest will know this.
Clocky is a clock for people who have trouble getting out of bed. When the snooze bar is pressed, Clocky rolls off the table and finds a hiding spot, a new one every day.
How exactly would you define using search engines "effectively"? Most people (I imagine) would simply type a keyword or two into Google and see what happens...
I meant, a non-citizen who says "F**k the US" may have his reasons for saying so. I may not agree but that's not important.
On the other hand, a citizen of the US (as is the case here) who is free to leave, yet stays, enjoys all the benefits of the country and still says "F**k the US" should stop his whining. He should also remember there are plenty of places where a comment like "F**K countryname" would see the person strung up. He is abusing in an offensive manner a freedom he takes for granted.
I will excuse your cynicism and your anonymity. Hopefully next time you will excuse a link to an entirely relevant commentary on an offensive website, as opposed to linking directly to (or shilling) the offensive damned website.
Alternatively, in that you went to all the trouble of flaming me, perhaps you could expend that effort next time more productively and merely cut and paste (are you ready for it?) Fuc.kthe.us into your address bar, suck it and see.
The parent was marked troll, however whoever modded it as such probably doesn't realize that the new VWs come with... A plastic flower in a vase on the dashboard.
A friend of mine is a car dealer and used to deliver the things. He was so tired of being taunted for the flower (and having a neat haircut) that he would remove the flower while driving and reinstall it before handing it to the (mostly female) new owner.
I tried installing Windows into a directory called "Ni" instead (i.e. C:\ni instead of C:\Windows) to stop things attacking stuff in its default location.
Unfortunately there was a lot of collateral damage where applications couldn't find DLLs where they were expected.
Of course this does not happen on my various Mac whose Hard Drives (root directory) have been called everything from Homer to Cartman for the last decade:-)
None of this is a surprise and a series of new malware tools attempt to disable various protective services.
For example, deleting the MSI Installer Service such that when you try to install something like SpySweeper the installer won't work properly.
Alternatively, killing Antivirus or Personal Firewall processes or placing known good-guy websites in the restricted zone of Internet Explorer.
The 'solution' IMHO is to have multiple layers of defence and to some extent, perhaps to use less popular tools (i.e. not McAfee and Norton) which won't be on the malware's 'hitlist'.
I know security through obscurity isn't a solution, but in this case, security through not being one of the masses may be.
I say this having spent nearly a whole day trying to remove Spyware from a friend's laptop.
The new keyboard layout was designed such that computer salesmen of poor typing skills could type TUBGIRL with one hand, all along the same row of letters.
Unfortunately this did not stop the keys getting sticky.
I'm sorry, were you talking about the accidental civilian casualties of the Coalition? Or the very deliberate amputation victims of Saddam Hussein, mercifully no longer a problem.

The first is stupid users.

In the next episode, he explains why Slashdotted marketing solutions will drive a network manager to suicide.

Marvin wasn't bipolar, he was suicidal.

What are they missing?
If a professor does not care enough to read my papers, then to hell with him. There is more that a professor does than just check grammer.
Correct.
They also check spelling. Luckily, the professor did not read your paper and notice how you spelled grammar...
What is CHAOS - the supercomupter for your wallet?
The most significant change to the project, as far as the open source community will be conerned, is the quality of the distribution
As they are concerned about quality, any chance they could put all that unused computing power towards a Goddamned spell-checker?
I'll clarify.

I trust that clarifies what I said.
The upside down flag wasn't my problem, the domain name was. Particularly since it was a statement about the US by an American, not a foreign entity.
I daresay however others might not share my inddiference towards the association (in any orientation) of the flag with this statement.

The owner of the domain fuc.kthe.us - reported here probably isn't going to like this...

With the recent tragic death of everyone's favourite torrent site, what are people using these days for sourcing movies?
It's a double edged sword unfortunately.

I fail to see how limiting this project to governments is going to help in many cases.
On the other hand, a robot is never going to drag its owner across three lanes of traffic just to sniff another robot's ass.

Woohoo! Now I won't need that other battery operated prosthetic device.
I wonder if these things also make that ch-ch-ch-ch-ch noise when I bend things or jump over stuff...
