If they also monitor his Internet connection, and see TCP connections happening that aren't being accounted for by the monitoring software, they might investigate.
However, Visa indicated in February, through a number of documents sent to financial institutions that issue cards and manage Visa transactions, that TJX was storing card number, expiration date, and card verification value codes, all of which are prohibited by PCI. As for its efforts at encryption, "We believe the intruder had access to the decryption algorithm for the encryption software we utilize," TJX said in its annual report.
I love it how people talk about how they're using "encryption" when possessing the algorithm is enough to break it.
No one said you should care, but if the interviewer ASKS him his opinion...
Just because a reporter asks you something doesn't mean it's always wise to give a full answer. It's called "restraint". Heck, in many cases, it's called "not breaching your confidentiality agreement" or "maintaining the privacy of your customers' information" (not that this applies here).
And ehm... you accuse him of accusing people who disagree with him of being biased or idealistic, but then in your last sentence you imply that YOU don't agree with him, and he should therefore shut his mouth. nuff said
Did you read the Groklaw comments where Linus spouted off about the first draft of GPLv3? He was straight-out asked what his legal objections were to the draft, and his answers showed that he didn't have the first clue about that law (U.S. law, anyway). He knows he's not a lawyer, and he has no interest in studying law, but he was perfectly willing to blabber on about the "problems" with the GPLv3 draft. It was embarrassing.
There are people who have put in a lot of time and effort to learn the minute details about things like the Novell-Microsoft deal. Linus has not, but he has no qualms about, on the one hand, knowing very little about the subject, and on the other hand, denouncing these peoples' work as "unimportant".
I'd rather listen to RMS talk about why Debian isn't free enough. At least he's put in the time and effort to try to understand the issues.
I don't actually personally think the Novell-MS agreement kind of thing matters all that much in the end,
Why should we care about what you think about it, Linus?
I'm so tired of Linus Torvalds flapping his lips in the media about things he isn't qualified to talk about. He's a technical lead for a systems programming project---not a lawyer, not an economist, and not a visionary. Furthermore, he's one of those types of people who thinks that because something isn't important to him, it's objectively unimportant, and anyone who disagrees is "biased" or "idealistic".
It should be individual parents who want this service that pay for it. Furthermore, parents should have the ability to choose an alternative censorship system without paying for the default one.
OTOH she still had to get her husband to authorise a loan from the bank.
... which any woman should do anyway, even today, unless she's doing it on behalf of a corporation.
When you're married (and in the absence of a prenuptial agreement), all your assets are co-owned with your spouse, which means your creditors will come after both of you when the sh*t hits the fan. You have to be a pretty big asshole to get a loan without clearing it with your spouse first.
Funny. I'm a long-time Debian user, and I recently used my girlfriend's Mac to do some things. The biggest flaw I noticed was that its "package manager" doesn't have an "uninstall" option! I was originally going to do some development on it, but I gave up for fear of hosing the system. (This is Mac OS X 10.3.9.)
If I got a Mac, I'd probably end up installing Debian on it.

Corporations do and should have different rules than government organizations. The latter require more transparency, IMHO.

Does anyone know if Wal-Mart censors the music it sells in Canada? I've never heard of any complaints that they do.
How is this different from OpenID, other than that MS displays a massive not-invented-here syndrome?
I love it how people talk about how they're using "encryption" when possessing the algorithm is enough to break it.
Idiots.
i.e. Keep your finger off the trigger until you're actually ready to shoot something ?
By not distributing said software, which depends on Linux, with Linux itself. Apparently VMware is doing that (though I could be wrong).
Uh huh.

Wait a few years and you'll see source code.
Heh. I guess I'm not the only who remembers the 256-color Quake palette.

Commercial breaks aren't always planned exactly in advance, especially for sporting events.
... so I'll be able to see in the blind spot that I created using my new high-power DVD-burner laser pointer flashlight?
Speaking of facts, what do you make of the omnipotence paradox?
Why would you post a comment if you don't even know the difference between a copyright and trademark? Shut up and learn from those who do!
Something tells me that the hard drive wasn't DOA, but Dead After Opening.

I think the problem is the types of people who become journalists. Namely, journalism students: not the brightest bunch.
I'd love to see a news service run by professional engineers or accountants.
Just because the key works doesn't mean it's not copyright infringement.
IIRC, Typefaces (the collections of glyphs) aren't copyrightable, but vector fonts (the computer files that describe the typefaces) are.
... just like Microsoft did with Sender ID.
