"Those that relenquish freedom for security, deserve neither."
--Benjamin Franklin
This law goes along with gun laws and the like, they only take away freedoms of LAW biding citizens. Years after the Brady Bill, I can still (if I wanted to) go to the local "rough" part of town or local gun show and purchase a weapon without the "background check" in about 15 minutes. The same will go for those seeking fake identification papers. If they want to, they will find a way around it. Bills like this make me ashamed of my government and country.
How the fuck is a RFID chip in my passport going to stop terrorism? Over the years, people have willingly accepted forms of identification and tracking with out a hitch. Why not this one? Next step is the chip in the head.
Anyone got any reasonably priced real estate with some resources on it? Ready to start USA2.
About 2 months ago, I ran into an issue at work with Internet Explorer and a ISA proxy that wouldn't allow key customer sites to be displayed.
Much to my delight, I discovered that Firefox displayed the pages without a hitch using the proxy I had setup. Around 4am on a Monday morning I deployed Firefox to my 50 some end users, dropped an email telling them to use Firefox to access the Web. Even imported their IE settings.
I fixed the IE descrency about a week later, then proceeded to walk around and notify people they could go back to using IE...no body wanted to use it...matter of fact, some became almost violent when I offered to return their default browser to IE.
I recommend telling everyone that IE is broke on their networks, and deploying FF. You could even "mysteriously" break IE in you proxy settings...:)
Updating process is a little annoying, but the no spyware benifits absolutely outweighs it.
This will be out on DVD by Christmas (maximum sales impact).
I will then purchase this as a used DVD from Hollywood Video (unless Walmart has it cheap).
Going to pick up a case of beer, 3 bags of Doritos...sit down watch Episode I, II, III, IV, V, and VI...right in a row.
Then I will promptly put all 6 in a shoebox, and bury them next to my cat, in the backyard, for some final fucking closure, that I would never have to see another Lucas Film again.
Why did he have to ruin the childhood memories of seeing the Trilogy in the movie theaters? LIAR!! LIAR!!!
I guess I'm not willing to part with a vehicle that could actually withstand a crash. Plastic body panels just aren't reasuring enough to me, so sue me.
I understand that Honda's have excellent crash ratings (former Accord owner myself).
I found that the seats in the Honda's were extremely uncomfortable and didn't offer much support under the legs and anyone who is over 6'0" could tell you that any trip in one of these cars is MISERABLE. The Grand Prix got almost as good fuel economy (not enough to really make a difference in my pocket book).
The answer to the "energy" and "green" crisis in the US is Hydrogen fuel, not batteries. It's been a long known fact that American LIKE HORSEPOWER. Perhaps we should have a look at Opel and BMW to learn how to get more horsies out of 4 cylinders with better fuel economy.
It's really an alien mothership that will abduct you and give you repetitive anal probes and return you to the exact time and location, with a sore ass.
From personal experience, I can say certain domains that I host for, were being bombarded by creeps like this (Mostly through dictionary attacks). Once I put RBL blocks, and other evasive manuvers on my relay servers after about 3 weeks of getting rejected, it stopped.
No legal suits, no screaming from clients.
I have no sympathy for an ISP that allows this behavior to go on, and because they are afraid of a few "false positives", they do NOTHING and become sitting ducks, while degrading their clients Internet experience.
All it takes is a google search for an OSS solution to this. There are support forums out there set up to deal with spammers, USE them.
"For AIM users who remain distrustful, Uberti pointed out that the application offers Direct IM (aka Send IM Image) and Secure IM in all recent versions......I know this since I designed these features. There are no backdoors; I would not have permitted any."
mmmmmm....yeaaahhh...suurrree...
So the Terms of Service don't apply to these either?

Instead of compensating lack of sunlight outdoors with indoor flourencent bulbs, how about some high intensity (halogen or the like) bulbs at the collection tubes?
These could be controlled by dimmer or luvres to change intensity to regulate artificial light with the natural light. Producing more of a light "blend".:)
These are the same fees (not neccessarily amounts) that other business owners in Ohio have to pay to start a business. It protects people from the "fly by nights". And Ohio does follow through with prosecution on bad business when they know about it.
Excellent idea. Bad for the starter upper. 50K is kinda steep.
Read the book co-authored with Kevin Mitnick, The Art of Deception, he makes point after point about how Human Nature, not Technology is the weakest point in security.
People have a natural tendency to want to be helpful, and it doesn't matter how strong of encryption, or the strength of your password. People, if they feel they will help you, give you the information.
Outside of biometrics, there really isn't any way to stop it.
People are weak minded by nature, face it. I'm glad he's out talking about it, and making people more aware of these weaknesses, and how training people to be more aware of those seeking information, can be very effective.
It's not about saying NO, as much as it is being aware of what people are asking for.
A little off topic, but I am ignorant to the reason there isn't a better interface for DirectX games for Linux? Let me guess? Source code? Seriously, I own 2 PC's, and the only games I play on the XP box are BF42 and Empire Earth...Everything else I play can be played on my Redhat Pro box...with WineX.
I think the stake to put in the blood sucking vampires heart would be a good DirectX interface.:)
If you had purchased a Retail or OEM copy of XP (home or pro) with new PC, you were only allowed to activate it on that specific hardware setup.
Example:
I purchased an OEM copy of XP Pro when I built my first P4 system 4 years ago, an Asus P4T-E board. Changed mainboards after that one failed, and now I have to call Microsoft every fucking time their OS decides that it won't be compatible with some other vendors softare or drivers, and a reinstall is necessary.
And what bothers me most about it, is they talk to me like I'm the fucking pirate? WTF? How hard is it to take down my name (at a minimum) or have a secret question to ask me.
"This one size fits all" attitude from Microsoft is going to burn them in the end.
I WILL NOT buy Longhorn, I will not SELL Longhorn to any one I build systems for, and I will definitely NOT recommend Longhorn.
When I bought my car, I didn't have to call fucking GM everytime to ask if I can change the oil, or exhaust or put different tires on it.What makes Microsoft so special?
If it weren't for the 2 or 3 DirectX games(NO WineX is not a viable solution yet) that I play, I wouldn't have any Microsoft crap on my system.
Sorry for stating the obvious, but I have been dealing with this particular issure for a couple of years now. And maybe I shouldn't feel so bad about it now that EVERYONE will have to do it.

Or...for those more tech savvy, unplug the phone cable, or ethernet cable.
If I could have anything out of the Star Wars flics, I would want that holographic chess set from the "new hope".
They should turn the retired submarines into space shuttles. Kinda like they are going to turn old military bases into oil refineries.

Till then, I will be driving my Pontiac Grand Prix GT2.
I bet I'll be filling up with Corn Juice first.

Milka Chocolate bars...now I can view them on the website in full color splendor.
For the patch from Microsoft to disable all Internet capabilities of Explorer...Please, please, please!!
Don't mess with an addicts dosage.

I hope they don't make the news page a standard.
