Yes and No I guess. What was rocket science to my parents was 9th grade mathematics to me, same would apply here - no need to learn the basics of assembly, disassembly, identifying functions by groups of bytes, or even determining the USB protocols necessary to debug when someone else has done that part for you.
"You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could, and before you even knew what you had..."
I know we talk about how long it takes a machine to get infected but hot damn these hospitals must be loading these machines up behind no firewalls at all to get to the internet.
I would have to actually make conscious efforts to do that just to punch past the usual NAT, let alone everything else. What the hell are these people doing??
Except surely the argument then is that my laptop, which has been configured to my tastes with my installed programs etc. etc. is a more viable tool for use than a work supplied laptop - pro BYOD.
The same as MS Windows. It is just the one people know. That does not make it a good choice for the cloud, just a familiar one.
I would absolutely prefer not to, but the work we use linux servers for doesn't require an install of scientific or similar. We deploy ubuntu based on the all seeing theory.. if we are hit by the ever feared busses, some idiot is going to have to maintain the servers. Odds are good that the linux experience on the new hires CV will be Ubuntu, so we build to that lowest common denominator. Sanity in that? Maybe.
I go through that "giving it up" phase at least four times a year. Once I even managed to go four months between games. Mostly I just get terrified of my email address. ssh + screen is really a good thing.
Turns out when I was using their guides and aiming for an A+ rating in October (not long after I took over the current post) I accidentally mitigated TLS POODLE before it even became publicly known. So.. whoops? Better not follow the best practices guides next time, better just patch the vulnerabilities as they come;)
Ahh shit man. My daughter calls herself a princess. She can also put up shelves, throw a ball, and is top of her grade in the martial arts she elected to do (although this is probably because she saw me head off to do them, so my bad there yes?). We have always spoken to her like she is a human being, and part of our family - and you know what? She's pretty damned independent and capable. You can call her princess without applying the don't do anything to them. Also, fuck it. If she wants to find a prince and marry the man, why the fuck would I stop her.
I don't know why we can't just let kids be kids. If a boy wants to call himself princess, nothing wrong with that, but as soon as a girl calls herself princess we're all up in arms.
Talk to your supplier. I've never had an issue getting "spare" licensing for testing servers. Regularly audited for it, sure, but never any real trouble getting the licenses.
For fucks sake, it's not like Apple have a hard thing to do here...
if ( recipientLastUsed() > days(1) ) { removeFromiMessage(); } icloud/imessage "logs in" right, not hard..
Reads like bullshit anyway. Something went wrong, he throws up the "it wasn't me it must be those evil hackers" defence rather than accepting the blame for putting his device together poorly or letting it go out of range. There would be no way of knowing for sure if another device took control during the incident (because who would build that in to a home made UAV), so he *may* be telling the truth, but if it happened twice in one day either someone is out there deliberately hashing the channels to mess with everybody, or he just went out of range/did something wrong/etc.
One of the states particularly in my mind intercepts SSL, ostensibly purely for DPI/content Filtering. Knowing their internal structure moderately well, I'd say this is about all their capable of - using McAfee's gateway to do it. A large number of private schools do it, particularly the more wealthy ones, and I've even seen it in a few government departments.
The other comment was more of a fall-over from my days as an exchange admin. Controlling the EXSRV means I can, if I choose, attach a mailbox anywhere I please. Got better things to do than read peoples email though..
The entire department of education out here (.AU) installs a root CA with the express purpose of intercepting HTTPS to "protect the children". There are secondary certs installed at every school so that 802.1x doesn't crap out when you try to sign in (in point of fact, pretty sure windows installs the profile by default when you bind a machine).
There is the potential for creepy, but pretty sure 99% of the techs at schools aren't actually smart enough to intercept traffic. Being one of the 1% who can (actually not a school tech, a consultant, but anyway) I can say in all honesty that there is better porn available for free on the Internet. I'm only going to look if you kick up a fuss about my ability to look;)
The ability for pretty much anybody to learn Excel, to interface it with a database (with, admittedly, a little help from their local friendly IT guy), to build An entire damned RPG inside a spreadsheet is a pretty good case for defining the most popular, user extensible, spreadsheeting application on the market as Microsoft's Excel. There are a number of reasons Microsoft is big in corporate - Excel is right up there with Active Directory and the OS GUI.
There are two options available to you - 1. Apple's caching server works perfectly (so long as your external IP doesn't change and everyone is on iOS 7 and Mountain Lion or Mavericks) - you download once (on demand rather than syncing the whole repo "WSUS" style) and distribute to many. This saves heaps of space without screwing with the end user, and it doesn't need to be managed via GP or anything like that. 2. SCCM on demand packages. Not an SCCM guy, but if you can replicate the caching server from Apple in SCCM, you're on the way.
Neither of these options gives a flying crap about HTTPS or Authentication.
If I put wheels on your metal office desk you can have a cool (temperature), fast (relative to otherwise stationary), usable (it's the top of a desk), and it will be bug (termite) free. That's all you get.
Working as an internet server is easy, sure, we've had Microsoft's IIS and Raspberry Pi's doing it. Working as a safe, stable, secure one is hard, and for that we have the BSD's.
Pretty sure whoever wrote "House" was looking at Theo and thinking "You know... that fucker could make a great TV show character". Of course it was probably followed by "but screw that IT crap" but whatever.
Which is surprising (assuming he is telling the truth) considering he includes Planet P, Zim, and Diz.
I've always, personally and with no basis in fact, felt that Verhoeven claiming that he didn't read the book is his cop-out for creating a movie that cops so much flak.
Of course the problem with this whole bullshit line is - what happens when the UPS' die.
So *if* they had power cycled and lost the device they were configuring there is a serious dereliction of duty there, or at least gross incompetency from the engineer who configured the devices. They would have known and could have started getting him back to reset passwords or w/e. Instead, there was a huge song and dance because, apparently, at no time was anyone with political power willing to turn to the nearest 6 year old and ask what they thought should be done.

What happens if you're not around to move your received goods off the pad? I suppose at least it's your own pesky delivery drone then :)

So... China bans the Great Firewall?

I can't cite that, but they can change the pin remotely via Find my iPhone so why is any of this apparently difficult?

Why should a plumber or any of the others need to supply their own tools anyway?

The SSL Labs are a fantastic reference.

Because I've never met a clairvoyant who won the lottery, or a telepath who could type my password. Beyond that I'm just assuming.
Please, it's "ozone readjustment technology".

I think much the same thing about drupal "programmers"
