I thought national lasagna day was June 19th! (since 1978...)

I thought netflix was for arm only. Will it even work in an emulator?

They only make recommendations, nobody has to implement them.

Police chiefs do this all the time for police corruption. Look I'm putting a panel together to look into these problems and make recommendations. See! I'm doing something about it! Oh, the Union/Mayor/DA/etc wont agree, sad panda, I tried, vote for me again....

Playing the public like fools.

Thats one thing I loved about Winamp, all the plugins. Nothing really compares to the visual plugin workshops and the huge selection is awesome. But for simple day 2 day playing of mp3s I've moved onto foobar, I had to tweak a plugin to add ratings to mp3s idtag but its fast and works great.
For android, poweramp is great and works well with bluetooth metadata. Always thought a full screen classic winamp display on android would have been awesome, but they didnt do that as an option.

I remember back on my 60mhz pentium desktop barely able to play high quality mp3s using Winplay3. Ahh the memories.

Doesnt do any good, if the law enforcement organizations (etc), have a warrant they can record all traffic from your IP/Phone. Depends on the company, but at AT&T Wireless they could turn on full sniffing from a mobiles internet traffic and record all TCP/UDP and even overlay it with location based service (tower strength triangulation). My boss said they had a group to assist in warrants, but after I setup the servers and routers, I NEVER saw an email, name or department identified, and I worked there for years setting up hardware from old packet data to 3G routers before I left.

So anyways, they record the entire SSL handshake so they can decrypt the session. You too can even try it for yourself in wireshark.

And who knows what is going on at the AT&T datacenters in those secret rooms...

As a Washington State resident, there are many counties that are wood only heating. Pierce and Tacoma have large suburbs and are not exactly off the grid living. They are bigger and can force the smaller population to upgrade. The counties like Stevens, Ferry and Okanogan are mostly wood heated homes. I have no real numbers but out of the 39 counties in Washington, I'd say at least 1/2 have majority of wood only heated homes, we still are a big wild state.

My mothers county has many people that are wood only, and if they went around giving $1000 dollar fines for people burning, they would tar and feather and hold a recall election. Those urban counties are gray haired monsters who know each other and would put pressure to any elected official.

Those poor gray haired women are the Majority of voters, tell them they cant heat their homes. Most of these people live in urban areas that dont have fire departments, police or or trash pick up. Tacoma I'd say is much different, its urban sprawl.

No they are not.

Its more like leaving the key in the door, the owner just walks up to the door and turn the knob himself.

Aka, you walk up the server/router and change the password.

Access was never denied, only easy access.

Extortion for what? Money? Sexual favors?

You send junior techs out to reset the password on the server by console. Its that easy.
And then you put a password policy in place and a password keeper that the employee must use.

And fire the manager who didnt know what a password policy was or a console to a server/router.

No wonder he the guy didn't want to turn over a password to a PHB.

First thing you do is change the passwords when someone is fired. They just had to drive to the datacenter to do it. They never were denied access.

Bullshit.

The hardware sat in the racks the entire time. Any tech could walk up and reset the passwords.
The manager should have sent out his techs to reset passwords and then put a password policy in place.

Bad management, but the employee didn't STEAL anything.

No he didnt. The city could have sent smart hand techs the same day to reset passwords.

He didn't shut down anything, he was fired and walked off the job. The manager should have just did a password reset on the hardware.

Access was never denied.

No its not.

Its not like keys to a truck, its like leaving keys in the ignition, the manager has to walk to the truck to get them.

Aka, he sends junior techs out to reset the passwords...

The employer never lost access, just easy access, but he never was denied access.

You make a good point. When you leave and hand over your laptop and office keys, that's it, you don't give them a password to the laptop, that's it, over, done.

And no, Its not like keys to a truck, its like leaving keys in the ignition, but the manager has to walk up to the truck to get them, not convenient, but you did not deny access. Physical access is still access. Having the password is nice, but doesn't deny access.

And physical access even with a pad lock, you don't have to give them the combination because the lock can be cut. Its standard operating procedure.

BUT, If the password was to an encrypted file with all the financial records, and not even physical access couldn't give access to the owner, then I'd say that was extortion or theft depending on the outcome since you cant get physical access.

Bad policy is INDEED the employers problem, very good point indeed, access was never denied, just easy access.

Amusing how because its "digital" its somehow different, its not.

I saw that article awhile ago with the 1440P monitors for 350 bux coming out of korea, picked on up and its amazing. 27 inch 2560x1440.
I didnt have any 1440P content, but I could watch 4K content via youtube, which downscaled very nicely and looked really detailed.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMUxpTb_wWc

Could I tell the difference, Yes, easily. Its like night and day over a 1080P on a blue ray. 4K over 1080P is a BIG step in detail with that high resolution, so no idea what they keep saying "too soon".

Also, this whole True 4K vs 4K HD is annoying, 4096×2160 vs 3840×2160 means conversation, unless 4K HD is selected, then there will be upscaling.
And 4K isnt even the end, they have 6K 6,144 × 3,160 next step.

So baby steps, lets get 4K going for now, get better monitors and tvs going, broadcast and video services delivering content, and anyone who says "too soon" can die off like the dinosaur they are. The 4K monitors are here, the 4K Ultra HD tvs are here, some 4K blue rays are here, Youtube 4K streaming is here.

Whoa whoa, 70's porn actually had good stories, today its all about 2 minute video clips on your phone.

This younger generation will never know about classics like Deep Throat. A woman who could not orgasm until a Doctor told her, that her clitiorous was in her throat.

Thats some brilliant writing right there.
