It may be old, but it is a quick solution for many tasks. It is a text based coding environment using something similar to perl hashes, but they are multidimensional and sorted. Put a carot in front of a variable and it becomes a database entry that all processes can see, but otherwise local variables for the code. The commands can be shortened in many cases down to a letter or two. Strict form of Optional-Label space command space arguments space command space arguments..... Reminds me a little of basic, but instead of line numbers, optional labels on any line will name and index the code as well as the data storage.
There were many at one time, but most were gobbled up by Cache'. They seem to have turned theirs into a web server to avoid the terminal text limits. Pity.
There is a FileMan package of mumps code made for the VA way back, that is a pretty complete relational database package for those needs. Call centers have used it well. Multi-user in/out bound switch controlling script engines. Some of the script applications used FileMan as a base for storage, but the data could still be used in a native manner. Some of the script editors were very featured, and could generate mumps code very cleanly. Other than FileMan however, I did not see anything but custom code.
I liked using under VMS the most, but the aix version is just as useful. DOS versions were a nightmare for me. I love it still, but trying to stay with it and avoiding the healthcare industry is getting harder every day. Most recently however, perl takes up more of my time.
..../. claim MS gives the (favorite three letter agency goes here) backdoors to all of their clients machines?
That was in the era where software was delivered/obtained and installed on the users computer. This is the age of server based subscription applications. They were only allowing back doors into other people's equipment, never MS server total access if they could help it.
Phones have an access range of the global internet and cell network. My wallet is in my sandbox with an access range of arms length. There is no virtual gun protecting that phone while it is powered and has a signal. My wallet even works in a storm with blackouts.
(TF) They were one of the earliest companies working for/with the NSA on snooping their customer base, that was listed on some of the timeline graphics leaked. They did what they could to get camera and mic in all their customers' homes. They could upload firmware to the unit under secret-non-court orders to enable live recording/viewing. The "gate" of everyone visiting said customer's home can be collected for future identification off security cams. Facial recognition collections. Voice ID. All of this would be considered meta-data in the business they are in, to be collected in the big data bin of Utah. (/TF)
They will always deny US spying on US citizens. The same as with torture, as they are not the party directly spying on US citizens. The same technology companies providing the "foreign-spy" tools are used by allies. UK using the same tools and feeds can profile all US citizens without law coming into play. The US just shares intelligence with the UK, giving them all they produce without actually spying on their own citizens. Do we call this "Data-Rendition"?
This will give the old ones in power a means of censoring or silencing unpopular (to them anyways,) rants from either the other side of the aisle or freshmen seats. "He is not following Majority Rules! Cut that guy's feed!" C-SPAN cannot even keep a feed coming during "public" events, and you think this will change?
This is just adding a new power to those in charge that would directly effect our governing. A switch to silence instead of a gavel and pleading.
None may get standing unless the case with standing only has a single piece of possible evidence.
If there is more evidence, regardless of case details, other evidence will be obtained by using the purloined information from illegal spying. Something will be found through legal means, and be presented in court with no need to mention the illegally obtained information.
There will be no standing. There will always be illegal snooping. The genie is out......
Uverse has been up for me. Power cycled. Took over 30 minutes for the connection between modem and ATT. I have a static IP so once the main connection is up and talking, all was well again.
Sue the school for "not intruding" into the personal lives of every other cussing student. Why did they open themselves up to liability of enforcing students private speech? How many have been victim to one of their students on a rant in a public place, virtual or real, where nothing was done?
One of the only ways to get past this undesired practice of intrusion into personal life by the schools is to hold them accountable and show them what they stepped in with their new practice. They enforced their whim in an area they should not be intruding. It does not matter who owned the pipes used by the punished. If they want to play full time nanny, hold them to it for all students. They do not get to apply a policy to only a single student they have in their sights.
No decision needed. Look all you want, but the liability is on you if someone decides your computer is of interest and data is questionable. Unless you report it to vender in a verifiable way, data on the drive, even if it was not yours, is now yours in any examination. Report it in writing or no evidence will exist to point in someone else's direction for liability.
Wiping beyond technological limits of retrieval is important with both criminal liabilities and civil copyright liabilities. The odds of old data being a problem in your life may be low, but it would be icing on the cake with any situation bringing your drive to the attention of some types of investigations.
Call it paranoia if you like, but why drive around in your new used-car with a suitcase in the trunk that came with the car without knowing precisely what is inside. Remove the suitcase, or examine every square inch of it looking for contraband..
With such an easy "hack" for loss, one would think the drone has STUXNET level trojans in the chips code and data, and then rfid or radioactive dust/nano-structures distributed all over and inside the device. The dust could mark everyone that comes into contact with any part of it. Movement analytics would be very useful even with the original low end soldiers/agents that hauled it in, and of the upper staff that later examines in detail.
Yes, a bit of a movie story-line, but why not? Of course this is a bit doubtful considering the idiots we have in charge.
One big reason to retain all of the simple tools, there is no interaction with the rest of the world, leaving more trust than any connected application or system would ever legitimately engender.
Why should a calculator need connectivity? These items were prevalent when products were completed prior to coming to market. There was no need for updates on 99% of finished products. There was no need for ads to be brought in, taking away value and usage time. There was no collection of personal information or usage data. They cannot be taken over from far away.
Who says there was more than one instance per file?
All but the first distribution are copies of an unlicensed non-copyrighted illegal file. They cannot go after you for copying a third party files!! heh.
I know what you are saying, but I still think it is a threat to some, and undesired leverage when used appropriately to others. Justice is not always the goal of these laws.
You do not believe the copyright laws on the books, now, in all the nations negotiating this agreement cannot be used to pursue infringement violations against these negotiators, if the words were in a copyrighted tune? Someone is misunderstanding, but not I.
Someone with some music talent should put out a song with the text of the agreement used as lyrics, and charge the negotiators with international copyright infringement and distribution! NOW!
Anyone using this "tool" on their own site could have written it themselves. Instead they choose to give away their viewers activities to a third party to make money off of it. They are paying another company to encourage tool use that disables the functionality of their own web pages and ads. They are helping a third party build a massive database of viewer data.
This is a malware/spyware tool that alters their own viewers' operating system clip board through the use of a web application. If something is selected on their own machine, this tool alters it so the viewer does not know what is in the clip buffer even after they carefully chose to select a particular set of data. This is not going to go over well at all.
When the WiFi is dhcp for all that connect, and they all share a single valid internet IP address for internet traffic, the one IP address is the entire WiFi network as far as the internet is concerned.
Giving Yahoo or any Internet/Service Host a copy of my ID with Birthdate and more..... why not just post your ID on Flickr? Any states left with SSN still printed on state ID cards? Used for Account numbers? An open tiff in an unencrypted email stream?
Do all of their employees with access to incoming bandwidth get background checks? And I do mean any and all workers that have access to incoming bandwidth packets beit the physical wires or any routing machines in addition to any terminals setup for day to day work....?
Too many sites use too little information which is inclusive of some of the information on the State issued IDs for satisfying their requirements of identification. Adding a picture would also be frowned upon. Forget the tinfoil. There are reasons IDs do not come on lanyards for public display where ever one travels in day to day life.
I cannot even count on Yahoo to keep my email address out of the hands of spammers. Why would I send them any official documents of mine? The spam from their email accounts as it is use alphabetic lists of their other users still, just moved to the BCC field so the list is not as noticed as years past.
The problem is real, but you are trying to solve one little glitch when the entire system is currently a hole.
The third party view mentioned (notary) has promise, but not until there is secured communication. Even if it requires PI type services by licensed third parties for problem certification. (ISPs sign up with internet investigation teams to resolve identification issues with their users. Headline on page 3...)
Blacklist or no-CallerID, where members get tri-tone-bad-number recordings... Whitelist for follow-me-to-my-cell-phone... Custom recordings for listed callers to have something to hear just for them before I even get a ring (Happy BDay Mom!!) even scheduled by date or time.
Do not leave it black and white though. Area Codes, where you receive calls from people you know, can identify most callers you do not need to know about, when they bother to send CallerID.
For the ones that get through all of this, a little custom feature with *00 codes. Audio of Rick Astley's best at the touch of a button. Choose your own style of "kiss off" message. Mine will even add the number to the blacklist as playing.
Asterisk may not be simple, but the fun was just too much to pass up!
As for the robo-calls that do not like to hang up, I have found that many of these will also not be able to hang up when you call them. I have redialed until I catch them between dials, where they pick up the line to dial another number. I then transfer to call parking and it kills their dialing for several hours sometime. Unless a person is monitoring the "NO DIAL TONE" counts on their end, it can stay for hours.

Doesn't Robin Hood Theory go for bad politics as well as bad energy? And would not be limited to only one area of life.
Take the money from those lousy, good for nothing, bad politicians in office, and all kinds of good can be done!
Why limit yourselves to only fixing energy? Get those ignorant, self-serving, A#%holes out of office! The rest will fall into line at the same time.

Forget driving use. I want to see the Cop interaction with the noisy drunk driver being told to take them off by the side of the road.
