People like you are why things like this never happen anymore. You are so willing to complain about things that other do that you never do anything yourself. Quite your whining and change your diaper.
As someone who dislikes cheese with a passion I say it's about time that someone invented a tool to help rid the world of this scourge.
You ever try to clean 3 day old cheddar off a knife blade? I bet this was the driving force behind the invention of the phaser on Star Trek. In such an enlightend society as that you'd never see Picard hacking off a hunk of brie with a hatchet. Riker maybe...but never Picard.
A use for the code I wrote to sort porn based on image content. I can see it now. Project JISM: Joint Image Statistical Modeling. Any my mom said my chronic masterbation wouldn't get me anywhere.
Just reformat any image traveling through a USAF system to destroy any hidden messages. It's cheaper, takes less time, and will force the sender to use less secure means.
My wife works in HR in a hospital and the stories I hear are really freaky about some hospitals work. All the doctors are contractors and all the nurses are in the union. If someone gets killed no one gets in trouble because the company doesn't employ the doctors and the nurses are protected by the union contracts.
I would have to say it's your own damn fault. 1. Where you in the meetings with this coming? If so, you should have seen it coming. If not, you should have seen it coming. 2. Did the management of the company know who you are and why you where important to the company or did you keep yourself locked in a dark room tweaking firewall rules?
If you feel that security was important to the company and the companies management knew who was "the man" when it came to corporate security you would have been in on the outsourcing meetings and would have been able to shape the discussion.
Or...maybe you where in on the decision and didn't know it. Any managers ask how well the vendor performed a little too often lately? You should have seen it coming. A little paranoia in all things is good for a security manager. Remember 80% of security threats come from within a company. That includes stupid business decisions that would weaken the company.
for being an Apple user. As a happy user of one of the earlier iPods I am very disappointed with Apples lack of support. But considering Apple follows the Sony model of consumer electronics which is basically to obsolete the previous generation every 3 months it comes as no surprise. My old iPod now sits unused next to my Apple Newton and Sony MiniDisc. I will use it again mainly when traveling but it's lost its shine.
I still love my G4 with Panther though. But Apple and consumer electronics don't mix.
I am not a programmer but it seems to be if I where intent on rigging an election I could print the voters choice on an audit trail and "behind the scenes" count it towards the voter of my choice. If you don't TRUST the company making the software any security measure put in place will be questioned. The real question is it better than what we use today. I am still waiting for someone to figure out a way to keep dead people or illegal immigrants from voting. People have been dying for a long time and we still haven't got that one fixed.
The word Bubba is used in the US to refer to someone from the south. Usually a male. That is white trash but may have a veneer of class. Think Bill Clinton.
Ho-Tep can refer to any number of egyption figures such as Ptah-Hotep or Akhti-Hotep
when they started making it harder to get guns if your a law abiding citizen. But, it's crybaby time when they start going after tech. Sucks to perceived as a criminal doesn't it.
Dean wants to be the internet candidate. He can't afford to compete in other media so he is pulling this pseudo grassroots crap. It's too early for all this election crap.
I agree. I am not OSFSF fanatatic But I believe the the real benefit of OSS is not that it's free but it allows you to freely integrate which is a definate bonus for governments and their tax payers.
I think that the Open Source movement is suited for goverment because the gov usually deals with undirected problems and since OSS is basically undirected in that you can make almost anything from the available parts its a good fit. Closed source apps are designed to solve specific directed problems usually within rigid criteria...a function of corporate development.
Strictly from a security perspective I would have prefered that security was independant from OPs but the resporting structure was that both ops and security reported to the same VP and where in the same. This in my mind created a conflict of interest so when I saw the oppurtunity to take over both ops and keep the security responsiblity I did and my security engineers now managed our production environment. It was lay-off time and it was us or them. Easy choice for me. Security stays and we run ops as well I tried to do what I thought was best for the company given the financial situation. Our biz was a dot com so going without security might be a livable situation for senior management it wasn't for the new ops team whoes asses where now on the line to improve uptime.
So I think it was a win/win under the circumstances for a production management standpoint under the circumstances. I think I did the right thing but i'll never know.

We will outsource NASA to India and China.
If the gov isn't taking your money for one thing they'll take it for another.

We can it's just that people don't want to live in the desert...no Starbucks or burger joints.

What happend to all you liberal Dean supporters willing to submit US sovereignty to the UN?
So the UN is not capable of managing the Internet but when it comes to the "managing" human lives they are fully competent.

I'll make a deal with you. You tell 10 people about Diebold and i'll tell 10. But other geeks don't count we have to tell the normal people.
How about a moderation option for conspiracy crackpots?

We need a MOD option for posts that make no sense at all.
McCarthyism...Check
American Military Conspiracy...Check
Reverse accusation of communism/fascism....Check
Another liberal commie picko. I'm surprised you didn't bring up Alger Hiss.

It makes sense to me.
