I have a Vista RTM notebook running Cisco 4.8.1.0590 and I can connect back to my office with it just fine using RSA SecurID. It has worked for 2 months at least. So maybe the data is old?
That's not really true. It's just a matter of how many people are available running the OS and how much time it is worth to the malware artist. After all, it doesn't matter what OS you are running; there are always foolish people who are willing to click anything and hand out the root password when it is asked for. It's true that informed, security conscious folks won't give the password. It's also true that most people running Linux these days are informed and security conscious, however that has really been more of a legacy coming from the fact that you had to be pretty informed and a decent techie to even know that Linux existed and to know why you wanted it and spend time installing it. (Note I didn't say "it is hard to install" because we all know it isn't anymore even if many people still think that it is).
Anyway, as OSX and Linux get more users and they tend to be less technical folks these types of problems can hit them too. Non-techies are really easy to social-engineer sometimes.
It's worked pretty well for me through the betas and into RTM. The drivers are key; they can be signed but still "not so good". For the Lenovo T60p I am using, Beta 2 worked great with sleep. Then RC1 would sleep OK, but no network when you would come out of sleep. With RC2, the wired network would work, but the wireless was toast after sleep. With RTM, the wired works after sleep, the wireless only works for networks that broadcast their SSID. For ones that don't (like the one we have at work), the wireless is toast after sleep unless you disable and re-enable the adapter in device manager. This problem is clearly the wireless driver though. I'm waiting on a new one, but at least it functions with the workaround.
Quite a bit since the guy in the tank needs to get out from time to time. Even the stuff that is up and coming like the tank you control from another country remote can have it visual sensors shot out and then that tank is a useless husk. Until they make humans that can't be shot, that rifle has plenty of life left in it.
Exactly. And if using Group Policy you can easily set it to give say sap.exe high priority and iexplore.exe and firefox.exe low priority (if that would be right for your business). That way, if sap.exe uses port 80 as well you aren't artificially restricting it at the router/switch.
Or car thieves suing the people making the slim-jims. (I know copyright violation isn't theft; no need to point it out). It's just that this person is suing a tool maker that made a tool she used to do something illegal. Sue Smith & Wesson when you shoot somebody with their handgun?
True. However for that to work it would have to be updated awfully frequently. I remember when Google started doing the satellite photos. It showed my house and area like it looked 5 years before. Then MS started doing it and apparently purchased different photos. Theirs showed the area from about 10-15 years before. As in the Wal-Mart, Lowe's, Barnes and Noble's, Staples, etc. were not there and were just open dirt. So while I agree that it is nice to be able to see something like, "ah, I turn left at the Peete's coffee", you have no guarantee that that coffee outlet will even BE there anymore by the time you go to use the service. They would need to find a way to keep it really current. Probably with submissions from people like bloggers with digital cameras or something...
I know in Singapore they are called "Hand phone" which seems weird because even my phone at home is used held in my hand. But whatever. Anyway, the concept that voice calls aren't used much anymore is total bunk.
That sounds like a reasonable test to me. I certainly haven't researched the patents involved here, and CNN wasn't very helpful about any details, however in just reading the article it says that they patented and ordering system using an online catalog. I think that would certainly meet the definition of "obvious". I don't know if they have some totally non-obvious stuff in the patent, or just a bunch of long words that mean "online ordering system", but if it really is just "an online ordering system with a catalog" - then hell - that's obvious.
Right, and since it expands when it freezes, the people in the "living compartment inside" will not only be frozen to death, they will also be squished.
I've also been there several times and used MRT quite a bit. I doubt that banning gum would have any effect on MRT. If someone can't put gum in the door when they wanted to, they could put silly putty or a pencil or a wad of paper. I think the comment about banning gum for the MRT was just a bunch of bunk.
No, he's absolutely right. If there were a couple of million in the channel, there would be no excited crazy reports on the radio, TV, and internet about the people who were in line to get a PS3. This kind of crap makes Grandma's think this is a must have thing for their kid and while it doesn't spur end number demand, it certainly spurs false excitement and false "rush to get it" and even "wow, there aren't many so it's OK to pay this much or I won't get one" types of mentality.
We use SmartCards on 70,000 Windows XP machines. Smart Card Removal behavior is something you can set. Anything from "do nothing", "lock screen", etc. Anyway, they don't cause a logoff unless you wanted them to.
Be aware that all of the alternate auth systems I have seen so far (including Smart Card) have lots of caveats. Some want to load a custom GINA. Resist this (read: NO, don't load that GINA). Most don't work right for multi-domain scenarios (where you are in domain 1, and want to connect or maybe map a drive to domain 2 which is an untrusted domain).
Anyway, be ready for things like a "self service" site to reset PINs and lots of user training for what to do when their web browser or email client all of a sudden asks for a "user ID and password" and won't accept a token, card, etc.
Seeing as how the voting machines aren't networked, I doubt that some script kiddie can touch them. I mean what's the fun in having to actually WALK to the polling place and HOOK SOME SHIT up to a machine to hack it? Then you can only change, what - the 200 votes on that one machine?

Maybe the researchers should infect themselves and see? Who knows, maybe they will prove it to be a new weight loss regimen...

No. Not at all. Just write a greasemonkey script to change the color of the leaves to whatever you want.
Well said. I am out of mod points, so I can't mod you up - but definitely well said.
That's not really true. It's just a matter of how many people are available running the OS and how much time it is worth to the malware artist.

You hit the nail on the head, but I don't have mod points today. Bravo.

yes it will do that.

I hear it fine and I am 39. It's heck of annoying too.

One of the James Bond movies (Die Another Day I believe) from 2002 had hovercraft.
Exactly!

Makes a lot of sense. Now, we need to "Make it so."

If it works at all, then maybe it can supply enough power to run the LED lights on some case mods?
Right, and since it expands when it freezes, the people in the "living compartment inside" will not only be frozen to death, they will also be squished.
I agree with you. However, you make so much sense that no government will ever follow that advice.

Nope. It leaves ONE day. You forgot that you voted last time to not raise taxes so that testing and training could be done.
