    I see no difference, many users will use the same password for games as they do in their email and other permissions. Including bank sites and paypal.

    Why bother with the Font size... it's all in the Kerning!!

    Ditto to the maximus, The production environment is not the place to find out where the bugs are but it is THE only place where the bugs show themselves in full color. So you have a catch 22, you need to remove the potential bugs before you go live, but you also need to have that load put on a system or LAN layout before you know for sure it will work in all phases. Shoot for Pluto and don't be disappointed if you only reach Mars then have to retool for the rest of the trip to your destination.

  4. Re:Recall interface? on Backing Up Your Brain · · Score: 1

    I would imagine an open source version would be up and running far sooner than a MS version and it would be more relaible.... just a thought but one that may keep replaying in my backup when/if I ever get one.

  6. Re:Hacked? on Student Financial Aid Database Being Misused · · Score: 1

    Why does the database system fulfill illegal search requests?
    A. It does not know they are illegal
    Do those who have been searching illegally still have access? If so, why?
    A. They went in and did the search; they figured they would ask about legality later.... all is fair in the game of Corp business as long as the ref is not looking.

    What punishment exists for violating the regulations on what searches are allowed?
    A. Completely negligible when you are talking about the 100's of millions of dollars that can be realized from these searches.

    How much of the data stored on each student do these lenders actually have legitimate reason to know?
    A. None, but that will not stop them because the people who regulate access to this data do not I. care enough to do the diligence II. Do not have the resources to the diligence III. Do not have the political will to do the diligence.
    What hoops does a lender have to jump through to get access to the database?
    A. Whoop, there it is!!

    Wouldn't those subpeonas have to come from a government court or oversite agency? Do not see that happening unles the Dems get more of a foothold in the senate. This past election was only the start, if they want real change it will only happen after the next round of seats go up for vote.

  8. Re:Why insightful ? on A 1.2 Petabyte Hard Drive? · · Score: 1

    Does anyone know the current limitations for sharing out this much data in a striped array? How much could actually be used at one time at current Microsoft or Linux datareading limits?
