I actually own both a Cable and DSL modem. I frequently change between ATT-Yayhoo and Comcast, depending on who's got the best deal or who may have an (extended) outage. I own all of my own domains and use 3rd party hosting, so switching is no big deal. The last time I switched, it took about minute. An installer or host OS is never involved...its pretty much just a phone call and a router re-config.
I remember once I switched in the middle of a messenger conversation. The person I was talking to didn't even notice.:)
The incumbents (AT+T, Sprint and Verizon) cry and scream every time anyone says anything about opening up the spectrum. They will lie, cheat and steal to make sure that no one can set up shop on that spectrum and not pay the incumbents for it.
There is a perfect example of their outright lying right in this quote. The incumbents say doing it Google's way will devalue the spectrum itself. They say that it will cost the taxpayers billions if Google gets it way.
Wrong.
Every time, they say this very same thing in an effort to scare the committee into thinking that they won't get those billions from the incumbents, knowing all the while that the committee has strong political pressure to get the most money out of the auction that they can (even the US governement notices 15 or 20 billion dollars).
Not only is it a lie about devaluing the spectrum (after all, if it is devalued, why would they care to buy it?) but it is a lie about who is going to lose money. The money for the auction goes to the government, not the taxpayers. The "taxpayer" in the end gets nothing but higher cellular bills due to lack of competition...in fact, the incumbents aim is to buy up all the spectrum and pave over it with a parking lot, which makes sure no one will ever be able to use it.
Take it from me, a guy very close to this industry. Google is certainly not the evil ones here.
I am pissed that they are even addressing my http stream through proxy. Technically, that is eavesdropping my session. Not to mention that just looking for the place to insert the ad will most certainly screw up many web applications. Once an ISP crosses this line there is no limit on what they can do. Things like feeding you a bogus SSL cert while making it appear perfectly legit and decrypting your traffic, redirecting entire web sites, blocking content without your knowledge...it goes on and on. The ISP even having this information in their logs starts a huge slippery slope.
Everyone, immediately call a lawyer and run away from any ISP that does this. You have been warned.
The judge wouldn't allow it, which is another indictment of the judge and prosecutor in this case. The whole thing is a joke. I've been following the case closely, and I tell you any sane person comes away from this case completely shocked. This is one case where the journalism actually isn't sensational enough...
This is a small gas turbine engine (you forgot that engine type) combined with a CVT transmission. I believe Volvo has been looking into the exact idea you are thinking of. It died in the early 90's, but as an idea it has always sounded pretty good to me too..
Curiously, Microsoft AD has no such ability. Password policies are set domain wide and there are no exceptions for anyone even with a GPO, a well known limitation of AD.
Let me correct your statement. You have "never seen an AD deployment where a GPO's were making exceptions..."
Why does this warrant such a sensational article? Racing engines have been actuating valves pneumatically for years and exhaust gas recirculation has been around forever too. Hell, Honda's old CVCC used a similar exhaust technique back in the 70's.
While I agree for the most part, there is one detail that is important. The contract should have stated that this was one of the functions of the lab and that the contractor would need to provide that service. If it didn't, then there again it was the fault of the government. If it was, the the contractor is in default of the contract. Either way, someone isn't doing their job. This isn't a symptom of privatization in and of itself, its a symptom improper contract management.
I work as a government contractor in a similar situation. All I can say is that "we" as contractors don't have any data. The data is still the government's, and we do whatever they say to do with it. I suspect what is going on here is that the guys overseeing the contract itself are ducking and not doing their jobs, as it is easier just to say the government doesn't have control over the data anymore. Fact is, the government still has the obligation to manage the data, they are just lazy and are putting their jobs off on the contractor.
It is not possible for the government to contract out government policy, as hard as they may try.
You hit the nail on the head. Arresting someone for an essay crosses all lines, and I cannot believe it is even being debated here. I'm disgusted at the people involved in this case. Calling the POLICE after reading an essay? And the police actually arrest this kid? I hope the ACLU annihilates these people, if for no other reason than their misunderstanding and ignorance of their own damn jobs.
"The time to fix a Windows problem was usually quicker though"
That is the rub with MACs in the enterprise, non-existent enterprise back end support for hardware, no enterprise management tools, constant integration issues.
The problem with MACs in the enterprise is Apple themselves. They don't want the market enough and don't think big even when they need to. One can look at their server line for proof...they don't offer enterprise high availability, hardware fault tolerance, nothing. They just say "Ooh, we have SAN technology". Ya, big deal. What if I need support when that goes down in the middle of the night with 10,000 users standing around? "Oooh, you'd be fooked in that case, we're at home in bed...."
Indiana has a very robust law on notification and data disclosure. The law came into effect last year in July, and it hasn't changed a damn thing about infosec in the state. In fact, few people know anything about it. If I had to write the legislation for another state, I would probably skip it and go do something else, as it is a complete waste of time...
I agree wholeheartedly, what about the amount of money they paid to license technology that went into Vista that they could have easily and obviously built on their own?

Virtualization has put the super smack down on our datacenter. From 250 physical servers to 20...how's that for power savings?

She was a substitute...not even the real thing. Even that argument would be crap.

10's of millions? Heh...last I heard this auction is worth over $15 billion. Not even Google can blow that kind of dough unnoticed...
