Why is a whitelist needed? If you do not have IPv6 connectivity then why do a DNS lookup for AAAA records? If a service has IPv6 connectivity, why not let anyone who also has IPv6 connectivity connect to it? There should be no need for a whitelist.
Changing the US fed govt infrastructure from MS to 'something else', Linux for example, will take an extremely long time, and may well end up worse than it is now. Take the Munich example and multiply the problems by 500. For better or worse, an org of that size can't just switch.
The other question is how did Windows become so entrenched? At one time, nearly all Government computers would have been running IBM's MVS, VM, DOS (the mainframe OS, not PC/MS DOS) etc, CP/M, VMS or some flavour of Unix. For many, especially clerical and 'call centre' like roles, users does a Windows PC offer better productivity and make the job easier than using a 3270 terminal connected to the mainframe to fill in forms and get back the responses.
It could be rather embarrassing for the school, and they may even get in trouble, if they turned on the camera when the student was using the laptop in a situation where they have a reasonable expectation of privacy - such as while sitting on the toilet.
If the vice-principal does not know anything about electronics then he should bring in one of his colleagues who does. If none of the teaching staff know anything about electronics (though surely at least one of the science or technology teachers will) the school lab technician(s) almost certainly will as they need that knowledge to do their job. Then let the staff member examine the device and see if it matches the description/explanation/functionality described by the student.
If he had set it off in the toilet, then the restrictions introduced would probably be worse. They would probably have banned the use of the toilet on planes.
When did this start? When I started work, about 30 years ago, some of my friends started working in banks. The rule then was that they had to attend many courses and work 'behind the scenes' in the branch for at least 6 months before being allowed into a customer facing role as a teller.
I do not even see the lists, just the questions. But I can click on 'next' and see the questions, but again no answers, on the subsequent pages. Running official flash on FF 3.5.2 on Gentoo. I tried using the Chrome beta (with plugins enabled) but it just timed out loading the quiz.
When will these people stop trying to change definitions. Broadband is a technology not a speed. All DSL is broadband, but ethernet and (most) cable is not even though they can offer higher speeds than ADSL.
The only reason I don't have a DVR is because I cannot find one with the features I want: ability to burn shows to disc, ability to add my own HDD, not allowing content to be erased by the networks or expire and my choice of subscription services for listings. For now I just watch everything "online" since no one wants to manufacture a device like that.
Have you considered a Topfield or Humax? I use a Topfield and it can do all you want but with the proviso that to burn to disc it is necessary to upload the file from the DVR (via the USB cable) to a PC (or mac) and burn it from there.
I have grappled with this problem myself. I am a lecturer at a university (chemical engineering) and I taught our introductory programming course using Matlab. I believe that it's crazy to have tests on programming where you don't have references or a computer with you, so I set alll my tests as open book, with computers in front of the students. I gave many small assignments throughout the semester and one large assignment at the end. The students uniformly hated the subject. Some of their concerns were that the tests were "too unpredictable."
Surely unpredictable tests, in many subjects, are good as they test the student's understanding rather than just ability to regurgitate facts. Of course, in other subjects the ability to recall facts on demand is more important.
As the camera is on the wall above the urinal, unless there are also urinals on the opposite wall (in which case it should just see the backs of men using them), it will only see anything 'private' if you stand too far back. So make sure you stand close before unzipping, and zip up again at the urinal not while walking away.
No, foreclosure was not the only option. While the banks were able to sell the properties which they foreclosed, then it was a viable option. However when the point was reached, which I believe happened with whole neighbourhoods in some parts of the USA, that it was not possible to sell the foreclosed properties then foreclosure becomes a bad option. While the people taking the loans were not able to make the required/agreed repayments they were paying something (especially in the case where the initial fixed low repayment period ended and the repayment amount increased substantially). So, it is better to be receiving something, in the form of lower repayments, than nothing in the case of foreclosure and not being able to sell the property.
The FBI had a warrant, which means they didn't go in for "no reason". Unfortunately, the fact that they seized everything leaves us with few possibilities 1. The FBI lied about what they needed to seize on the warrant affidavit & a Judge signed it 2. The warrant was narrow & specific and the FBI exceeded the warrant's scope 3. The FBI actually needed to seize everything (incredibly unlikely)
4. The FBI knew that the server(s) they needed to seize was in the data centre but did not know which physical server it was. So they just seized everything.
YouTube do not seem to be doing a very good job of blocking music videos. I am in the UK, using a UK ISP and have just watched 2 music videos uploaded by the artists, and 3 uploaded by two different record labels (Universal Music and Quinlan Road). Also there are several music videos uploaded by 'ordinary' YouTube members.
If they are serious about sites depicting child abuse, then they will also need to censor the 'news' sites and TV channels which show videos and images of children who have been abused by neglect, starvation etc in various parts of the world. Though all they seem to be concerned about is sexual abuse and paedophilia.
I should mentioned in my original comment that I'm in the UK (and Rhapsody is another US only service)
Which is another problem with the media companies. In these days of the global internet, the idea of having geographically restricted services is a little outdated. For paid-for (either subscription or pay for individual downloads/streams) services the provider gets the same payment irrespective of the location of the client. So restricting access to a particular geographic area is just reducing their potential income.
Why only respond to an AAAA DNS request if it comes from a DNS resolver whose IPv4 address is on a whitelist? Surely it would make sense to allow any connection capable to IPv6 to make use of it. I am lucky in that my ISP is on the list of those providing IPv6, but I use my own DNS resolver which will not be on the Google whitelist.
To my eyes, blurry as they may be for this hour, the quote appears to suggest that media streams may be delivered in varying qualities, dependent upon the user's available bandwidth.
Which is nothing new. Realplayer was doing that for media streaming many years ago.

How does the script on the artist's server initiate the new auction on the current owner's ebay account?

And how would one cross the ocean, exactly, in a train?
You don't. You do what people always used to do, you take a boat.

Which, unlike illegal copying and sharing, actually is copyright theft.

I think they finish with, "do you understand?". I don't know what they do if you say you don't understand.
But as they have just told you that you are not obliged to say anything, you do not have to answer them!
How can the non-disclosure of the terms of an international treaty be justified on national security grounds?

If the two CBS records have no relation to each other, then should the newer one not be prosecuted under trademark law for 'Passing Off'?

Why could they not have used p2p technology for the mac and linux clients as well as the windows one?
