Honestly I can't think of this as being anything but big. Companies live and die by outlook email still (enough of them anyway). So many of those executives don't even need a machine past email really...
I'm sure it will be big on corporate phones, but most individual users get everything the need from the built-in apps
You don't work in the ATM industry, do you? Retrofitting machines is a HUGE logistical and financial undertaking. Why this is scored 5 interesting is beyond me.
Actually I used to, and if it is something that can be done with a cassette switch then it is not a huge undertaking. Remember in terms of the money inside the cost of ATM parts is pretty small.
When I travel to the US from England I always use the small generic cash machines.
Bank of America wants $3 for each withdrawal.
The small no-name machines take $1.25-$2.
I know it's a tiny difference, but at least be honest about it.
I have to admit I was thinking that it would be the same as the machines in small shops in the UK (where banks give free withdrawals and small machines charge). I stand corrected.
There are a load of solutions that will work with new ATMs, a number of them already mentioned. What is needed is a cheap retro-fit, without modifying the strong box. Many banks don't upgrade this expensive component for years. I think the most promising ideas are ones that ink the money - but they have to get well in to the whole stack. A thin red edge that could be trimmed won't be good enough.
There you go again - any opportunity for you to throw in some casual xenophobia in a completely unrelated article, and you jump at the chance,
On the contrary people are staring to realise that Islam is not the religion of peace, and is a real threat. There were probably people like you saying "Nazis are not all bad, they just want to get on with their lives" before WW2. The thing is that both Islam and Nazism are ideologies that drive their followers to dominate and destroy others. When the Muslims in the West rise up they will try to do exactly what they say the will. Remove free speech, freedom of religion, equality in the law - in short implement Sharia.
showing us just how scared and little you are.
Have you noticed how often I get upvoted now? a er back I only got thumbs down. People are starting to realise the truth, and those who love freedom and equality are not scared but angry.
Your intelligence is about as high as your morals.
Have you noticed that most of these tall buildings are in Muslim countries *? You know the reason? Its because contrary to the popular press it really isn't an equal chance that the next 9/11 will be committed by Christians, Buddhists or Atheists. Build something taller than the Muzzies and you would be inviting them to destroy it.
* China is a bit of an exception as it is much better at handling the Muzzie threat
Wait until they answer. Pretend you are from a competing company. Tell them you have everything they sell. Tell them you are a Franciscan and have taken an oath of poverty. Try to sell them something. Say yo want to buy it until right at the end when they want credit card information then say "I'll have to ask my doctor, here at the psychiatric hospital they take away all your personal belongings".
How does this work? I mean it makes sense that you could drive in an emergency (getting someone to hospital, etc). Could a Taxi service offer an "emergency only" service?
...which adds to the point that an email account, that doesn't contain emails about the subject at hand should also be part of a criminal investigation.
I can see pareidolia becoming an issue, with claims that pictures interpreted in a certain way could mean something when they really are just cat pictures.
If *I* worked for wikilieaks, I sure would have an additional freemail account somewhere that I'd use for facebook, slashdot, mailing cat pictures to friends....
I'd have a cunning code involving the colour of kittens and whether they meow or not
You can't fix bad government policy with better tech...
But Microsoft is using the opposite tactic and fighting this with bad tech. If the government are spending all their money on licenses and all their efforts trying to integrate proprietary systems then they have less time and resources to snoop on citizens
99% Can seem high degree of protection, however if you work in an area where you meet thousands in a day, it will only be a matter of time before you succumb.
Now if everybody is at 99%.....it is as damn near to impossible as you are going to get.
I think you misunderstand. For 99% it works, no matter what the exposure. For the 1% they will succumb whether exposed to viruses from one infected person or hundreds.
The protection you get from vaccinations is on the "herd" level and not the individual. If the majority of the herd is not vaccinated, the vaccine itself provide very little protection to an individual....
Factually incorrect for most vaccines, which provide a high degree of protection for individuals
No one would be forced to get a vaccination, and everyone has a choice. It would be a condition of employment, anyone would be free to quit if they chose not to get vaccinated.
Provided that there were exemptions for genuine medical reasons (e.g. severe allergy to something in the vaccine), I agree
that they won't disclose to us? I don't know if any of you have ever tried to get this info from Apple, but they really don't make it easy. Or possible.
You could come up with a lot of these daft sayings:,
Net Neutrality means ... Having to write your web page in every language ... Having to have it accessible on any output device ... Having to make it understandable to anyone of any educational level.
Perhaps fortunately it doesn't mean any of these things
Voltaire said it was "difficult to free fools from the chains they revere".
A good example is how many newspaper's refer to "the Prophet Muhammad". Since most readers aren't Muslims it would be much more accurate to say "the False Prophet Muhammad", or at very least "Islam's Prophet Muhammad".
What he's proposing there is domestic war against an undefined enemy.
The problem is that it is islamaphobic to define the enemy. So we have a situation where Jewsih schools and synagogues are surrounded by police while Muslims go where they want, and Jews thinking about leaving France when Muslims feel welcome to stay and undermine the society. Obviously in both cases it should be the other way round.

Sounds like what would happen here if banking was run by the mobile phone industry
Actually no they don't.
When I travel to the US from England I always use the small generic cash machines.
Bank of America wants $3 for each withdrawal.

I have to admit I was thinking that it would be the same as the machines in small shops in the UK (where banks give free withdrawals and small machines charge). I stand corrected.
the other 1% are the little fake ATM's at liquor stores and shady party stores that nobody sane would insert their card into.
To be fair most of these just rip you off legally with huge withdrawal charges

Most of the affected area seems to have one.

They have yet to see past Exchange and Office and understand what most people actually do with these things.

How would this work out with employees who have "religious reasons" for not being vaccinated? Could they claim discrimination?
Yes right and you'd let the Muslim employees rape the little girls too because it is emulating "the best of men" in their religion.
No one would be forced to get a vaccination, and everyone has a choice. It would be a condition of employment, anyone would be free to quit if they chose not to get vaccinated.

So, which Linux distro that I installed in 2003 still has active security updates today? Which one even had more than four years of support?
RHEL 4.0 which was available in 2003 and will be given extended support to the end of this month.
