It seems to me that many organisations would consider payroll, health and other HR info as private and hence restrict access to it on the network, but they wouldn't consider encrypting it with a passowrd - well at least nowhere where I have worked.
And perhaps military institutions consider attack plans, weapons secrets and such as worthy of protection but not an "inteview" that we did "ourselves", "inhouse".
We are learning more and more that this is a connected world - yes even your fridge will have an IP address and be on the net one day mark my words and EVERYTHING will need to be encrypted. Encryption grammar and other security verbiage will be second hand speak for moms and kids ...
"have you packed your lunch"
"Yes mom"
"And MD5 SSL'd your homework via the kerebos LDAP certificate server? You know what happened last time when Mr Jones found your SSH key unencoded on the SELinux partition - I don't want to go through that again"
"Arghh yes mom I have been over this 1000 times with you let it go - my friends and I were scanning photons of the prom dance when James accidentally Bluetoothed a letter from his brother in the army to Amy's communication jewellery which had a compaible 3DES encrytpion algorithm - now will you let it go!? Shees!"
"I'm just saying is all - I have to go and buy some groceries and when I scan my embedded subcutaneous barcode it better not say that I have been SQL Injected because of a bad CRC checksum - I won't be embarrassed like I was the last time"

Wow that was quite an open and honest confession you just laid out there. I am glad that you have found help within the church. I can tell you from experience that if you spend time in prayer and meditation, God's Holy Spirit will work with you to achieve a healing in your iife. Peace comes through the knowledge of God - the more you learn about him the more peace you will find. Be strong in the Lord and meek in his strength.

How do you know a corpse can't hear?
Does the tympanic membrance still vibrate in a corpse? If so does this mean that the ear has registered the sound?
Does the absence of - measureable - brain waves or other responses to auditory stimuli automatically mean that it is not registering?
Hmmm ... I wonder ...

Just so I understand, hasn't anyone been able to buy / build a model aeroplane for the past few decades and possibly attach a camera or weapons to it? The only difference now is that they can go a little further - I guess.

I don't want to sound ungrateful or anything but is $100K really all that much considering how expensive it must be to do this kind of research?

Hmmm ... good point but I think that the shareholders are like "who cares - where my ROI? If we were a university then that would mean something to us but we are a commercial entity.

You gotta spend money to make money that is just the way it is. Also, Apple has no where NEAR the the service/product offering that MS have. There are overlaps in their target audiences but there are also major variations.

Hmmm ... yes these are some good points. So over here we say "cisco rowter" as opposed to "cisco rooter" [router]. We also say "deeb-eye-an" as opposed to "deeb-i-in" [debian]. Soo-zee as opposed to Soo-zuh [Suse] Dee-min as opposed to Day-mon [Daemon] Ah and two of my personal favourites: This same guy I mentioned above will correct you if you don't say the WHOLE name. eg: Postgres - he will correct you and say postgresQL OpenOffice - he will insist on OpenOffice.org and so forth

I agree - I too will prejudge a person based solely on their use of colloquialisms etc. I once had a friend who said that anyone who used the term "sequel" as opposed to spelling out the letters "S-Q-L" knew nothing about databases!!!!!!!

If you just want to turn on your PC and it must just "work" then I highly recommend PCLinuxOS. I have run it on EVERYTHING I have and it just fires up and starts first time. It has all the codecs I need and a very easy to use and navigate package system. Check it out.

Have you considered PC-BSD? It is to FreeBSD what Ubuntu is to Linux.

Hey that is a good point - I have never thought of that myself. How can you tell what your bot community is doing? Is there a way to tell? What about SETI? Is that a botnet? How do we know what it is doing with all out free CPU cycles - maybe it is a government conspiracy to ... wait wait only kidding.
