You could of gotten your point across by making the generator, but not making it public. You then could of sent the password etc to the right people to take a look at it. Making it public was your demise. It's one thing to show business where their security lacks, and another to air their flaw and permit ANYONE access to it to exploit it. We live in a terrorist society now. I would arrest you too. I have no sympathy for you.
Certain Cities, and even a few States passed a law against dumpster diving. Which is what HP did. Most people are not aware of this law, or even if this law covers their hometown. They did this to keep people from rummaging through your trash collecting papers to commit identity theft against you. Wonder if there was such law where this lady lived?
It is not just a simple broadcast law. Not when you have people loose on the internet trying their best to regulate, and sue everyone they find. The ones trying to regulate us will read into this anything they can just so it suits them in the end.
I think someone is being influenced by the RIAA. If you can manage to get this passed, then they could start regulating all of the media including ALL music, and video. Think about it. They mentioned other Countries will also go along with this plan. What better way could they come up with to halt it all? First the media, next is wav mp3 and so on. Total control in the end.
Their study is bogus. Obesity has been already linked to depression, and everyone knows that the depressed person has more problems with memory and with cognitive thinking. So they spent all of that money on the study for nothing.
Obesity Linked to Depression, or Vice Versa Obesity and Depression
The Seattle P-I story ends with a quote from Bruce Schneier: "The government is not saying, 'Hey, this data needs to be secret,' they are saying, 'This data needs to be inconvenient to get to.'"
Sheesh you have to feel a little sorry for the people in Seattle if their fire department is that damn dumb.
I believe what Microsoft should do is take the anti virus software companies to court and be sure that big brother is there, and fight them tooth and nail. I would not lesson the security on the OS just because the software makers are too lazy to start from scratch too. Microsoft is doing what every one for years has told them to do and that is secure Windows. To lesson the security on the box just because you have a few balking is ludicrous. What Microsoft is doing now is reverting back to a unsecured box. I really, and I know some will hate this... Would like to know how the US Gov feels about this and if they are in favor of Microsoft leaving the security measures in place or not? Are they willing to come forward and give Microsoft the ok? Are they willing to back Microsoft up? I would be willing to see two versions of Vista. Give EU the unsecured version, and the USA and anyone else the secure one. Then tell the security software vendors to either back off, or start from scratch. Microsft should sue the anti virus vendors for the rights to make Vista secure. Or Microsoft will never have a secure Operating System.
The first thing you are suppose to learn Net wise is if you don't want it cracked, stolen, or downright abused... Don't put it on the Internet in the first place.
You are so on target here. A low score also is given on the amount of credit you have also. You can have three or four credit cards, but if the amount allowed to borrow on them is small like $300.00 a piece, even if you have three or four of them they are not showing banks, and broker institutions how well you can handle a loan that is in the thousands. You will be turned down if your credit cards are showing low borrowing amounts. Or you will be denied a loan that you want and be forced to take a lower loan amount. These type cards can do more harm than good. Say you have a car payment along with the credit card payments? Miss one of them, and you can't get a loan anywhere. This is a years worth of payments they will check also. You have to be squeeky clean. This is another way they keep the poor poorer. Most don't realize those small amount credit cards are doing more harm than good. They think they are building their credit. But they are hurting their credit if they have too many of these type cards, and because the amount allowed to borrow on them is small, a bank looks at these cards to see if there is any missed payments on them, or on another small loan. If there is, they more than likely wont give you a loan because you haven't shown you can handle a large loan.
Making phone calls, viewing websites, Instant messaging, and emailing your friends all day at work are not all the same thing anymore. Not when a business can be held liable for their employees actions. Case in point the Article here: http://www.phillipsnizer.com/library/cases/lib_cas e417.cfm I have every right to protect my business from this type of thing even if it means limiting what my employee's do online. If the employee doesn't see it my way, then move on, I'm sure I will find a more mature adult out there that wants your job. BTW I never have seen a job that allowed an employee free access to call anyone they felt like at any time they wanted too. Give me a break people. You are at work too work, not to make phone calls to all your girlfriends / boyfriends. If they can stop the frivolous law suits against businesses that try to be nice to their employees then I say it's fine to go online, as long as what your doing online is legal. But don't hold a grudge against a employer because you can't get to your favorite porn site. Your employer has more to worry about than you "getting off". Give me a break people.
I suspect in the future this could make or break a traffic case against the driver. It could also cause a drivers insurance to go up. Don't expect insurance company's to drop the premium, just because you have been racking up brownie points behind the wheel. Eventually it wouldn't surprise me if insurance company's run out to your vehicle grab the data, and then say... Lets see what kind of driver you are, and then we can show you the deal we can give you." Passing the laws telling the insurance company's they are restricted in the data they can collect, and rules that say they can't do this just gives them more incentive to find the loop holes around the new laws. As a matter of fact it's just a matter of time before the data is in any ones hands that wants it bad enough.
I didn't see anywhere that they accepted fixes on the software that was buggy to try to solve the problems they were having. FBI never does things cheaply. A good network of Linux boxes with simple software programming done at a fraction of the cost would of solved all of their problems. Why won't the FBI listen to us slashdotters? We know what's best for them.:)
First bait them. Then you trap them. Google is smart, they know how important MySpace is. Myspace can be good for both sides of the fence. As long as MySpace secures the place. I just wonder if the whole MySpace website will be indexed? I worry about those teens with accounts there.
I don't believe this is ethically wrong. Fact is that if your stupid enough to pick it up and take it home with you, then your deserving of getting infected. I don't believe they would admit to taking it home. They may of infected a computer at work, and now to take it home and infect the home computer too means careless thinking. It also shows that if a employee was to leave a cd or flash drive in the office by mistake that employee couldn't be counted on to protect possible sensitive data. They are a risk to the company in my book.
You are so right there. I have seen examples of this that makes me wonder why they bother to hire a IT department in the first place if they wont let them do their job.
Social Engineering yes. The employees failed miserably, but so did their IT department. It should of been blocked, and the employees drilled on the importance of safety with the sensitive information they have on their premises. I can see to where this would happen though most IT departments hate the words "Social Engineering." They don't say crap to the employees. They just block the crap.
Today's IT departments... some I have seen treat the employees as though they are retards. They are right to call some that. I don't see how some of them got their jobs. But I can't understand why more IT departments don't have security checks, and chats with the employees. Not ALL of the employees are retards, just a few of them are. Information is key, and IT departments are failing miserably everywhere sharing security tips, and rules with the employees.
This should of been titled "Privacy hasn't gone far enough?" A majority of consumers will not care until a major breech of their info has happened. The other majority still wont care because they are still too young to be concerned with their privacy. On a personal note none of the MySpace breeches would of been news in the first place if they hadn't in the beginning started asking such personal information, and allowing the users to post what ever they felt like posting including videos and pictures that one day could come back to haunt them. Notice a majority of them are young? Some of the crap there is just plain sick. The ones putting such crap up, I believe a most of them will wish they had not done it years to come. Don't worry though it will come back to haunt them.

I believe this is competitive fallout. Google Eclipses Rivals With YouTube What Effect has the purchase had on Yahoo? Is Yahoo in Pain?
I believe this has a lot to do with net neutrality as well. If ICANN pulls the plug they would be violating it.

It's payback time... and payback can be a bitch!
