except in this case the vendor put time- bombs in the code to cause it to cease working. That's possible in open source code too, but in a pinch you can whack that stuff out of the code, perhaps in violation of your license (If Sun wrote open source code for a robotic Java(tm) garage that's about the kind of crap they'd pull too)
you can't protect yourself from an IT person with physical access to machines (end-user or server) or to networking infrastructure. They can steal data in a thousand ways you can't imagine. If your IT people aren't trustworthy you're screwed.
background checks and references will solve nearly all bad egg problems. the IT people I've worked with through the years take the security and safety of data as a matter of personal pride. No one is going to pwn3d our machines or data, dammit! The problem we've had in corporate america is dishonesty in executive level, that's cost us tens of billions. IT people just mainly need to not get lazy about security practices and updates, and not let employees do that either, that's the biggest issue with corporate data today.
what reality do you live in? the arctic is ice, might melt, and the anarctic even sighted until 1820. Stone age technology indeed. And how would a stone age technology person navigate near the pole?
sure I've heard of meth labs, had a couple shut down within a few miles of my home. run by people old enough to pass the age ID check, silly! And they're not using 20 times 8 oz bottles equals approx 4 liters times 2 grams DMX per litre equals EIGHT GRAMS of DMX! Learn some basic chemistry and arithmetic pal! You are the one ignorant of domestic affairs and for that matter meth production, freely available on the web. you really thing jr. high and high school students are running the big drug supply chains to our major U.S. cities, and buying their TENS OF GALLONS of raw material one 6 oz or 8 oz bottle at a time?????
you've missed the point and swallowed the mountain of BS. Hardly anyone is abusing bottles of medicine that way, and its annoying to bother most people because of that. Those that want meth can get it anyway, and any kid who wants to play with any nonprescription medicine is going to do so anyway. If you want to live in a nanny-state, please get the fuck out my country and set one up somewhere else.
nonsense, capitalism existed long before what we call government today.
A. Smith had a economic theory involving government, capitalist ideology, which is what you're whinging about
maybe the peaches issue was just a data entry glitch, but the rest of the items are true. I myself am very angry at the absurdity of age/license checks for purchasing cough medicine. As if the big drug dealers will be buying 6 oz bottles of cough syrup to make the hundreds of gallons of narcotic. "But a few high school students made small amounts of drugs with this!", cry the Nanny-State bleeding hearts! "Look at me, I care about the children, so I voted for this law", says the power-grubbing dirt bag politician. For that matter, I was recently at the grocery store behind a 50 year old man who was refused the sale of a bottle of gin because he forgot his ID. This society is going to get a big punch in the reset button real soon, as the rewards of this increasing collective stupidity are reaped. For the simple truth is, the government has neither the competence nor resources to protect everyone from themselves, from each other, and from the realities of life.
well, I did all that, but things didn't work out quite right. Turns out my neighbor was one of those Jeffery Dahmer serial cannibal types. So he and the head-lopping terrorists became great roomates. The neighbor invites Republicans over, the terrorists put out ransom demands but of course the friends and family of republicans don't part with their cash, so the heads get lopped off, the videos made, the neighbor eats the remains, and now my wifi router has ten times the traffic with videos being uploaded and arabsexx.com traffic going down.
not true, the long range planning and r&d of companies in the mid 20th century was when we were much more capitalistic and much less "state capitalistic". Selling out the country to enrich non-capitalist societies, forcing people to accept less quality in goods and less quality of living, enslaving people, usury, theft and corruption are not capitalism. True capitalism only occurs when two parties mutually consent treating each other as rational beings. We're getting very, very far from that.
that's great news, and I don't say that Debian or derived works are unsuitable for business, just that I've not seen it as choice in U.S. for business. Now if someday most of the world's population standardizes on a distro by virtual of India and China and South America's and surrounding countries going in a different direction, maybe then the U.S. would have to change just to do business.
car systems and engines aren't the concern (they do eventually would corroded by ethanol but the useful lifetime of a U.S. vehicle is short thanks to planned obsolescence and rabid consumerism), but the thousands of miles of pipeline and expensive pumping systems used to move gasoline are the issue. Good for truckers and railroads though.

If you must deal with corn, use ethanol.
you're saying consuming straight bourbon rather than corn syrup is healthier?

on how many diabetics are *produced* from an acre of sugar cane or corn used to make corn syrup. Just so we can see if it all balances out.....
ethanol corrodes pipes, can't pipe it around like gasoline. Using cellulose to make sugars and then butanol would let us use an entire plant rather than just the sugary fruit, and would require no modifications to gasoline engines to use.
I do that too, and after I answer myself "of course not", then I ask myself if the action is good for me. If the answer is affirmative, then I do it. Corporations are now hellbent out of fucking every employee and every citizen out of everythihg they have, it is therefore your duty to preemptively fuck them out of as much as you can before they do you in.
actually, most of these technologies haven't been around for years and years. The motivated geek can incorporate many of these things into a project with existing servers and networking hardware for $0.00 extra expense. Or for starters mess with them at home.
Build an iSCSI SAN, or make an oracle RAC cluster on a firewire device or supported NAS, learn how to build your own router and vpn, make a Xen virtual machine, sign up for a VMWare ESX evaluation, etc.
You'd be surprise what you can give yourself experience in if you put your mind to it, been working for me for over 20 years
explosion in job market for certain hardcore tech skills: storage/SAN; disaster recovery including replication, failover clustering, archival and backup; security including networking and system hardening and vpn/remote access; consolidation and virtualization with vmware and now I'm getting calls for xen and other Linux vm; network engineering.
what's so dreadful about commodity chips, which cover most of practical computational needs; in other words, what good is a vector super pipelined chip for browsing the web and word processing?

at least the students were kept from spending their time having sex for sex's sake, which is anathema to the pursuit of either engineering or science.

Hoho, LSB is to make Linux more attractive to business. do you know how many enterprises/goverments I've seen using Debian in the last 8 years, zero.
