Getting a PhD in the US does not mean you'll get a job. I'll work hard and get a Masters or PhD and 95% of the jobs are the same jobs someone can get with a BS. So I incur 40-60k more in debt and get paid exactly the same. The other gotcha with this is say I do get a PhD. At most companies they'll just put you into Management. You won't be doing more academic research or applied theory, instead you'll be a project manager/people manager which is not what your studies were around and you get detached from the sciences.
Being a US Citizen I am very ashamed of the mentality of our country. We only believe in entitlements and not working for what we get anymore. That's why foreigner's are taking our jobs, taking our degrees and leaving. When they go back home they get respect. I get laughed at for getting a Master's degree.
Is there an article behind this? Did this sysadmin do ANYTHING to prove or find what the real issue was?
Sounds like the point is "It says Halo3 causing problems" so it must be newsworthy. If there was an article behind this explaining why this was an issue and had details such as Network graphs showing overloaded routers on the LAN or switches being overloaded or dropping UDP packets or something.. then we'd have something here.
Just because everyone says "Oh folks won't do that" has absolutely no relavence when you talk about these same folks that willingly vote 66% saying Yes to reducing liberties for more theoretical security. People are sheep. Individuals are smart. When you bring lots of people together they tend to go the way the crowd goes. Like the majority of these other "security" approaches taken recently this won't actually help security but it will give you a false sense of safety.
Its a way for power hungry people to control what you do day in and day out. If they can take control of you one way or another they will and will use any event to encourage you to do what they want. Always be on your guard. When you get that mark on your right hand and they decide that everyone who reads slashdot is evil, subversive or part of the great threat, you will suddenly be unable to buy groceries, drive through the toll booth or even have power to your house anymore. Just like that.
Microsoft doesn't even use Visual SourceSafe internally. It can't handle large projects. They actually use Rational ClearCase for the majority of their Source Control.
Doesn't say alot for the product.
The other thing is SourceSafe has problems with more than 200 projects in its repository. It starts Corrupting the data. Not what you want to see from a source Control system.

Oh please. You can be as paranoid as you want. If your that concerned about it do like the group you claim to be a part of does. You read the source code. You study it. You improve it.
The reason why the NSA did this is for many reasons.
Improve the general state of the U.S. computer systems. Which in turn makes the NSA's job easier as they are out to protect the U.S. You might not approve of some of their methods but they are doing this to keep the U.S. a free and soverign nation. (At least the ordinary folks working there are.)
Encourage development of an Open Source/Free/Outside Developed/Third Party O.S. that has Orange Book (? I think that's the right one) C2 security. Everything in anything governemnt that has any type of security has to be SO secured its disgusting. By doing this they can ideally not spend so much money developing these internal O.S.es and either not HAVE to have such a big budget or do bigger and better things with their money. Read the press release on VMware's site about the cooperation with NSA to do development on Linux. Put these two things together. If I was sun, ibm, whoever does C2 hardened OSes I'd be scared right about now. The NSA wants to use linux internally, not Windows or Solaris or AIX.
So all in all this can be seen as a good thing. If the NSA is really trying to make it so their are backdoors in every Linux installation they have a LOT of eyes to get through to slip it past.
Just because you prove that evolution happens doesn't mean that creationism didn't happen. Come on folks.. go back to the basics of scientific theory here. Creationism doesn't say that you can't evolve. It is the theory of where it all originally started. The corresponding theory is the big bang theory.
This has NOTHING to do with evolution.
Completely different theories.

Hard Choice to make for most.

Instead all this says is NOTHING of value.
Ya know.. I only have limited time every day. This is SO AMAZINGLY aimed at just pissing people off and saying. Hey stupid.
come on.. get back to the news.
