Comment: What happend to the old rules? (Score 1) 49

What happened to the good old day rules that said NO USING PERSONAL DEVICES FOR SENSITIVE GOVERNMENT WORK?

There was this concept called the 'air gap', as well.

The basis of all of it was that as a person involved in sensitive government work you have absolutely no reason/business using technologies that are not provided to you to carry out the job. This reality is still possible today. You do not need a blackberry/iphone/etc to do your job and you can live without it until 5PM or whenever you get in your car to head home.

More options = more liabilities.

ugh.

We aren't competing all the time. If someone is perpetuating the species, and you fail to do so or prioritize that on your own, you shouldn't be so jealous/conceited/competitive/isolated/selfish/entitles (pick one) that you mouth of like this. Did you think humans just come about like ideas? When you're 80 and there are young children playing to admire at the park, you should know that other people went through very hard times to produce those offspring. Those kids will mow your lawn for cheap and maybe even write you some nice cards to you and your peers as a class project as you die alone.

Let me guess.. If you crap more than me, I deserve a compensation of equal toiletpaper from the workplace for me to use at home. That way you're not getting over on me --- ya know --- because you could hold it.

You don't know enough about research and industry.

I will sum it up.

Public research digs up the most fundamental knowledge that in itself is only knowledge that can be applied.

Private research takes the public findings and refines the knowledge in a very focused, product-oriented way.

Both are required for our current successes.

The tracking is a byproduct of raising revenue on the backside while providing a 'free' frontside. If you pay enough, a business can afford to respect you. Back in the early internet days most services on the internet were premium based, but yahoo changed that, and figured out the american psychology.... That we prefer to pay nothing up front and take hits elsewhere...and so free ad based email was born, along with search providers, and the subsequent necessity to find a way to pay for it all..

most people that didn't use the internet back then do not even unders used to be different. Us older users shakeour heads and regret taking free accounts.

YOW!! The land of the rising SONY!!

Working...
