Everyone allows iPhones and iPads on their corporate net.
According to InfoWorld, ComputerWorld, and GCN, something like 80 percent of all large to mid size firms either are doing that or are about to do that.
Actually, the net works very well for privacy. If you have secure websites with encyrption and specific usernames and logins and don't tell anyone about it, it works quite well.
The problem arises when they want to make THAT public.
It's my Internet. It wasn't made for you non-techies. You were an afterthought.
I can't say for the commenting part though because practically no website allows anonymous comments any more
Nod nod nod. I think this was something lost when people moved off usenet and onto a million little fiefdoms. On usenet you could easily have one or multiple pseudonym identities, no one controlled the discussions, you didn't have to sign up for shit, and the reader software was much better than on any web forum I've EVER seen. I mean literally 100% of web forums I've seen in my entire life suck compared to the functionality of the better usenet clients.
I'm all for the forward march of technology, but not when it replaces good things with pure suck.
The problem is that all the advertising spam since those nutso lawyers spammed UseNet is why we have all the authenticated logins.
Half the denial of posting is to handle advertisers trying to push whatever crap they have in their bag.
The other half is wacko nutjobs yelling at people in uppercase.
Look, there's a mix of Win 7 32bit and 64bit distributions and the 32bit and 64 bit MS Office distros as well, some of which literally require you to recode macros into Visual Basic "just because".
We don't have time to add Win 8 just because some tablets might use it, especially since pretty much everyone is using iPad or iPhone instead.
Wake me up when Zune 2 is dead and the Tablet Wars are over - cause all my metrics show Apple is winning that one hands down, and we have to work with the VA, not some artificial version of reality where the Zune on steroids is a reasonable option.
Part of the problem is Microsoft tries to fix the unit costs of their OS per unit, when the literal price of the unit drops, meaning what used to be a $100 OS component of a $4000 machine became a $200 OS component of a $2000 machine became a $150 OS component of a $350 machine.
At some point, the utility factor of paying ransom to Microsoft becomes too high and the market self-corrects by cutting their payment.
The easiest way to do that is hang Microsoft to dry and not support them. When you're surviving on $1.25 (not a joke) margin on a physical machine, this becomes critical.
Even if you don't purchase it, due to contract, a contract only exists if both parties agree to enforce it.
Thus, once one party realizes consumer law in their state means they do Own the Phone, provided they're willing to pay back the lease amount remaining (which is what the subsidized cost is), you can freely hack your phone and get a real browser.
Citizens of certain countries have a constitutional right to privacy, specifically those citizens of Canada and the EU, even when they are in the US or have US FB "friends".
Since most IP addresses are owned by corporations, and only leased or rented by people, and since Corporations are not People, then obviously the thing to do is arrest the Corporation.
And on my block there are hundreds of unsecured wireless routers, cellphones acting as hotspots, and laptops and iPads.
Even though I secure my wireless N router, anyone using Google warganging software from their streetview team could still slurp up all the IPs and then brute fake it on another device.

So there are more singles?
Cool.
Are they actual women or people like me who used to post as women for a joke?

The war is over. Apple won.

the forest is HTML5.
Microsoft is hanging out in the fjords. Amongst the pines.
But if you get Win8 you get the Throwing Chairs app bundled in free!

Stick the Surface where the Sun don't Shine.
Eat my electrical shorts, Microserf.
Windows Phone?
Windows Phone!
Zune 2!!!
From the depths of Hell I shall spit at Thee!
So, in other words, it's like Chrome, but slower?
When they started breaking forms on various sites web pages, we started switching.
If this is true, and you only move to 100 Gbps by 2020, you'll be 10 years behind Asia.
Not just Japan and South Korea, but Vietnam and China.
Sorry.
Too slow.
Research universities in North America are running 40 times faster than that.
Oh, and the students cell phones will literally suck about 99 percent of that bandwidth capacity up, so even that won't work.

Seriously, being stuck in Contract Hell is a sure sign you're not a Geek, you're a Pseudo-Geek.
Tablets can run browser instances fairly easily, if you're Geek enough.
I see this more as winnowing out the chaff (non-Geeks pretending to be Geeks) from the grain (Geeks).
Citizens of certain countries have a constitutional right to privacy, specifically those citizens of Canada and the EU, even when they are in the US or have US FB "friends".
We have international data treaties about that.
Ignoring them does not decrease one's liability.
They have a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders to maximise profits, so of course they will do that by reducing privacy
Which will, of course, result in successful lawsuits and fines in Canada and the EU.
Will it make privacy worse?
Yes.
And here's why:
Read the fine print of the IPO - it says FB "will do evil whenever it can".
Now if that is not a slap in the face of Google, I don't know what is.
no, corporations should be jailed. people have rights.
Stop trying to slurp my network from the coffee shop, homeless guy ...
So if a Chinese bot network rooted your connection, obviously we should arrest China.
Works for me!
The VA servers are all IPv6 already.
What are you waiting for?
Since most IP addresses are owned by corporations, and only leased or rented by people, and since Corporations are not People, then obviously the thing to do is arrest the Corporation.

The judge is right.
We can arrest Afghani nationals for violating US security?
Wow.
What's next, extrajudicial assassinations of unidentified persons in Saudi Arabia?
Note to self - even though we are pretending to leave in 2014, enforce twitter embargo when we actually leave in 2012, until only the drones remain.
