The police never asked for Mr. King's logs, they just busted in and seized his equipment.
[citation needed]
It appears to me that they simply assumed the guy responsible for the Internet connection was... you know... responsible.
They assumed and therein lies the problem, but hey don't let the facts get in the way because that's inconvenient.
I assume you meant "than they ever will gain mining bitcoins."
If that's the case, it's hard to say what their expected ROI will be. I know that in my case, I already had a 5850 in my machine (a very good mining GPU) and thus, with a little bit of luck I've 'mined' 150 coins in a month. At the current exchange rate, those coins would we worth ~$1000 dollars if I cashed out now, and I really only paid for electricity. Depending on the hardware they bought, and when they started (the difficulty has really ramped up in the last couple weeks), they could be sitting on a nice payout, assuming they aren't dumb enough to try dumping them all onto the market at once.
For my part, I'm interested in bitcoins as a viable currency and not just as some bizarre experiment in cryptographic "stock" to dump when I need some extra spending cash, so I expect I'll be holding onto mine until I can get some actual goods with them.
(Also, I hate the term 'mining'. It's really more like 'accounting', but it's probably too late to change anything.)
I am waiting for the botnets to start pillaging this "economy". Talk about return on investment, lol.
But again, this data does not come from the CCD. It is merely added as the images are stored.
Do you seriously believe your CCD knows your lens model, and authoring information?
All of this stuff is added AFTER the image is in the camera computer's memory and documents the data at the time the file is written.
Unless you have citations to offer for your assumptions regarding the equipment used then you are making assumptions about consumer camera equipment and applying to purpose built equipment used in these setups. So, do you have the specs for the speed camera ticket systems or are you just giving us you anecdotal observations regarding your personal camera? Do you design systems such as these?
You seem to think you are an authority on the topic, but you have not provided any verifiable information.
Yes, some of the people responding are upset by the circumstances of your post. In their defense they get raked over the proverbial coals by internal/external auditors and security for the most minor of offenses regardless if they were aware of a rogue service/device on the network or not.The issue is that any device/service connecting to the network where sensitive(personal/financial/etc) info is held is a liability even if there is nothing sensitive stored on the machine. This is especially true if the machine is opened up to the internet because then it is available for any external attacker to use as a way to breach the network security. In regards to using a cloud service the main issues are what data will be placed there and who will access it.
You sound like an intelligent person and I am sure you can work something out with IT that will meet everyone's needs and comply with the auditors. My suggestion is to approach it like this: " Hey you guys are the professionals and I need your help setting up a group calendar/scheduling system." You would be surprised how well that one works, assuming that your IT folks are up to the task
In the end it is all about working with people to get things done and usually a little patience and understanding goes a long ways.
Good luck!
I felt your statement was spot on in regards to Smith's position on profit seeking agents. Shaka's remark says more about his/her own position than yours. Shaka reminds me of Jack Nicholson's character Colonel Nathan Jessep in the movie "A Few Good Men", when the good Colonel scolds the prosecutors for sleeping under the very blanket of freedom he provides and then questioning the manner in which he provides it.
I recently read Smith's "Wealth of Nations" again and found his insights very profound in light of the recent economic crisis.
Just my 2 cents.
That's where you went wrong. I always test the evidence first. I certaintly would not want to waste the time/resources of Law Enforcement with flawed evidence. Right?
Yes, I saw that and had similar thoughts. Also they should look at virtual environment and look at Interactive python
Hmm, here in the U.S. where I am utility workers are not government employees. The very situation you described happened and the individual was arrested, arraigned and prosecuted.
Equal bytes for women.
