    The reason Linux users like Apple is because it detracts from Windows' user base, plain and simple.

    Isn't it obvious this is only a ploy to a) make people think they care and b) make more money?

    I knew the "it all Microsoft's fault" defense was coming... I'm surprised her lawyers didn't try that one; would have worked if I was the judge. Or plea insanity on the part of school's admins.
    But seriously hardly any schools use Linux. And I'm not surprised as I've met school IT workers who've never heard of Linux.

  8. Re:Only 1/3rd? on The IT Department as Corporate Snoop? · · Score: 1

    Ya isn't it pretty much in the job description that these are the people with the know-how to do this kind of stuff. After terminating the first they need a new one to start snooping for the old admins "easter eggs".

  9. Seperation of powers on The IT Department as Corporate Snoop? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Like in government (cough cough cough), powers should be divided amongst a number of people i.e. hardware admins, web server admins, database admins, 'maintenance admins', et cetera. But for the majority of places this could easily be too many people. Of course, this is pretty impractical too, and I for one know most admins don't like having obstacles; but after all that's the root of the problem at hand.

  10. Sorry Germany, but you gotta unplug... on Germany Declares Hacking Tools Illegal · · Score: 1

    Without many tools which can easily be used to hack the modern Internet as we know it won't work. An IT pro can't get their work done without tools so its either auf Wiedersehen to the law or the IT industry. Sounds like the problem we have in America... the people trying to administer laws to this 'intraweb' just don't know what they're doing...And its also similar to gun control... and locks... and...YOU'RE ONLY HURTING THE INNOCENT PEOPLE! (Oh, so the style attribute doesn't work on /....)

    If that was how it worked I would claim 0x717c7c697f6562727163757162 for my program (C++):

    #include

    int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    char myhaiku[16] = {0x71,0x7c,0x7c,0x69,0x7f,0x65,0x62,0x72,0x71,0x63 ,0x75,0x71,0x62,0x75,0x71,0x62};
    char k = 16; // the answer to his magic
    for (int i = 0 ; i for (int i = 0; i std::cin.get();
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
    }
    and this obfuscation is thanks to a one byte key...

    And it should be obvious why. If it could pass with that excuse it could easily provide a cover for various other illegal operations: they would just need to operate as a business to get protection, obviously not how it works.
