This should read. "Marketing Company McDonalds contracted was hacked" I don't see anywhere that it says an actual McDonalds server/store system got hacked...

1. Teach your Girlfriend how to text. No seriously! She'll love it! Then they start using that thing called twitter and following all the famous people they like so much and you never have to deal with them calling you again, or discussing the latest rumor mill, or who is dating who, and all that BS!

2. Get your mom some e-mail! I trained my mother by responding to her voicemails via e-mail. She now knows to e-mail me if she wants a quicker response.

If you don't mind talking on the phone, then ignore these suggestions. I have better things to do than to re-arrange my day for a silly call from my mom asking if the latest e-mail chain is true or not, or that my girlfriends co-worker was playing solitaire all day while she did hard work.

Where do you live that they haven't done this already?? The local schools haven't had soda served in them in the last 7 years at least, along with candy. you can only buy "healthy Juice", milk and bottled water. They also have "healthy" muffins and fruit salads you can buy from machines.

I don't see why this is such a big deal either... I live in north dakota, and the school district here implemented this back in 1995? My parents would check to see what I bought to see if I was buying extra food when I wasn't supposed to (sure enough i got caught buying a 2nd slice of pizza).

How have these schools been doing this for so long without such a system??

Its like opening the refrigerator and then closing it, only to open it 5 minutes later in the hopes that some magic pudding/beer/left overs suddenly show up....

Then why don't you buy a car with no logo's?? If they want to sell the car they'll do it. Last 2 cars I've bought I've told them if they want to sell it, to remove all their billboard advertising from the car including the annoying paper license plate place holders

Heck I've had them remove pin-striping before I would buy it. I de-badged my pickup of all forms of brand (You could still tell it was an S10 by its shape) on the outside with the addition of a billet grill that I wanted..

Have you ever ASKED them to remove it?

I saw this title and the first thing that came to my mind was two guys dressed up as the ambiguously gay duo joining them in protest....

You know, I tried to not pose for Society one time...

But then the officer told me to put my pants back on....

I was ironically thinking about this the other week when I had to go hunt some down. The Theatre I volunteer in has a light board (Manufactured in 2006) that still uses floppy disc's to save the show data. The same company used Floppy disc's for their architectural settings up until a year or so ago also.

I was lucky enough to find a 5 pack on clearance of course at the local mom and pop computer store... it was the last one... Gonna have to search for a few more containers, as this board isn't going to go anywhere anytime soon.

I think this village just found their idiot!

So, if he's looking for this form of technology for their servers, why doesn't he just be like google and roll his own if he isn't happy with what the other offerings are? Is he just lazy and feels like complaining?

If I can't find a solution to an issue I normally try and find my own solution instead of standing around complaining, as that will get me no where.

A question that should be asked. Is why was there not a network admin/security offical managing this data durring the administration? Did all of this data just get dumped into a hard drive with no organization?

Sounds like another bad excuse for not planning for the future... This should have been proactivly handled and organized. Now the "Oh Shit" factor is very large and daunting.

Time to hire a security/system admin for the president administration...
