Yes, if the remote administration is properly set up... which requires passwords and configurations to be set on both ends. It's not something that is going to happen by accident on a student's personal computer, which was my point.
Well, the wooden horse idea itself may not be popular these days, but the concept of hiding something malicious inside something desirable in order to bypass security is alive and well: USB flash drives that someone 'lost' in the parking lot, various browser toolbar addons, etc.
No. Race has nothing to do with it. The fact that not only do you think it might, but that it is foremost, indicates that bigotry and prejudice are alive and well in your heart.
So, let me get this straight - This story about using a drone to drive pest geese away from the shoreline of the Ottawa river in Canada somehow reminds you of a conservation effort where swans are banded by people in skiffs on the Thames river in England. Truly you have a dizzying intellect.
There's a link at the end of the by user block. Used the Slashdot homepage option.
You know that, and I know that, but why make it more difficult than it has to be. You want people to click on a link, then provide the link right there. You'll get a lot more hits.
No, capability isn't enough. The student's personal computer still needs to be configured to PXE boot before hitting other boot sources. Even that wouldn't be enough. Something has to trigger a reboot. So, if the machine's boot order has PXE before hard drive, and has Wake on LAN configured, AND is powered off as opposed to merely sleeping or hibernating, then it *MIGHT* be affected. However Wake on LAN requires that the MAC address of the target computer be known by the issuer of the Wake on LAN command, the SCCM server in this case. The odds of all these prerequisites being in place for a student's personal computer is remote in the extreme.
You cook them for 3 min, 30 seconds? Try 3 minutes 33 seconds. Your finger is already on the 3 key. Why waste the seek time needed to bring it to the 0 key? Or try a 3:21 swipe. 3 min, 30 seconds - Who's got that kind of time?
Also, do not be afraid to explore the posibilities of 77, 88, or 99 second cook times.
You can also just put an NFC sticker in your wallet.
She: "Maybe we could go out for drinks on Saturday"
He: "Let me check my schedule" - pulls out phone and waves it around near his butt - "Yeah, I'm free"
She (disgusted): "You pig! I'll never go out with you!"
Wallet may not be the best place for that tag, although it probably beats placing it in your belt buckle.
E-Voting per se is wrong. There is only one method to make sure that every vote counts, and that is public counting of the vote. Every tabulation of votes in a machine makes a public counting impossible.
That all depends on the implementation. For example: voter logs into secure site and enters vote. Secure site is connected to a card punch. After polls close cards are fed into card reader and counted. Hand counting can still be done.
This is pretty bad news for me, as I am NZ's leading internet traffic engineering expert, and NZ security clearance rules preclude me from gaining security clearance (dual nationality, no degree).
Wow! That sucks. Any chance of getting "grandfathered" in?
Reconnaissance satellites are usually on very low near-polar orbits, completing an orbit in 60-90 minutes.
There are all sorts of orbits used by spy satellites, such as tundra and molniya orbits. These orbits are timed with the Earth's rotation so that the satellite has a lot of dwell time over the area of interest. Polar orbits are more typical of weather satellites.
A service provider (also defined in section 3 of the TICSA) is;
a) means any person who, from within or outside New Zealand, provides or makes available in
New Zealand a telecommunications service to an end-user (whether or not as part of a business
undertaking and regardless of the nature of that business undertaking);
Does this mean they can go after TOR and VPN operators wherever they are?
They should tie a string or some kind of high tech fiber made of glass or something onto it so they know where it is. Never lost my mittens after my mom strung them together with yarn.

Disco - what were we thinking?
Either the car is 100% in control, or the driver is 100% in control. There is no gray area in which both are in control.
Never heard of Cruise Control?
if the remote administration is properly setup...
Yes, if the remote administration is properly set up... which requires passwords and configurations to be set on both ends. It's not something that is going to happen by accident on a student's personal computer, which was my point.
You're missing the point. Why would any student's personal computer be registered with the SCCM in the first place?
Well, the wooden horse idea itself may not be popular these days, but the concept of hiding something malicious inside something desirable in order to bypass security is alive and well: USB flash drives that someone 'lost' in the parking lot, various browser toolbar addons, etc.
Shit, you didn't think of it...
I thought of the many times I've seen beaches covered in goose poop, if that's what you mean.
The thief was killed because he raised a gun to an officer, not because he was tracked down by GPS.
Can we mod a submission as "-1 TROLL"?
Yes, you can. It's called the Firehose. Just click on submissions in the menu at the top left of the page.
That's a bit like the trojan horse. A great idea that worked. Once. Never has since.
Ahem!
I'm sorry. Did you say wifesaving medication?
No. Race has nothing to do with it. The fact that not only do you think it might, but that it is foremost, indicates that bigotry and prejudice are alive and well in your heart.

Try harder: put a link in your sig.

Spreadsheets? Right. One wrong sort and your data is scrambled.
Spreadsheets are not databases, and should never be used as such.

I don't know about anyone else, but when I pick up my phone, I want it to work. Every time.
Then you shouldn't get a cell phone. What you should get is a psychotherapist to help you deal with your paranoia issues.
Sounds like the scrutineers were asleep at the switch. All bets are off in any system if there is no verifiable chain of custody.

Right! Because internet voting and less centralization is how we get the highest quality stories on Slashdot.
