Lets not start this walking s***.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 12, 2008 -> 09:25 PM) These guys should be looking away...away...away They should be doing that just about every game. That last pitch grooved right across the middle of the plate up.

Aybar playing fumbles. Nice sox 1-0.

Not many teams cant score a base hit to center with a man on 2nd. That takes skill

QUOTE (fathom @ May 12, 2008 -> 09:18 PM) Sox hitters must have missed the memo that Adenhart has no control so far in the majors. Kong puts the first pitch in play, hope he enjoys the low 200s BA. He keeps that up, he will be there well into June. Dye takes a pitch and goes the other way. He should be our 3rd hitter right now. Ozzie however will need to nut up to move Thome out of the 3 hole.

And Uribe kicks the ball. The hotdog vendor must of distracted him.

QUOTE (ChWRoCk2 @ May 12, 2008 -> 09:06 PM) Thats not what I wanted to hear, no long balls given up by Adenhart so far. Well he has read the scouting report. He is featuring his breaking pitch. The devils pitch as Walker calls it.

Someone needs to buy Hawk some glasses, every fly ball to the outfielder gets a stretch these days. The average fan in the park woo's less over simple fly balls.

QUOTE (lostfan @ May 12, 2008 -> 10:14 AM) I really don't care that Obama wants to raise taxes, that's whatever because we need to cover this crazy spending spree we've been on. My problem is he wants to increase spending. We need to spend LESS, not more. Otherwise there's no point in doing anything. I do care about Obama wanting to raise taxes. I pay enough already, and dont need him putting his crosshairs on my pocketbook because he feels like Robin Hood. Stop the crazy spending and the socialistic programs and we will be fine.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 12, 2008 -> 09:03 AM) By the way, if anyone ever wanted to know what its like to go to New Trier, look no further than this article. The level of competitiveness is ridiculous, and class rank is coveted like you wouldn't believe. Not surprising that some kid just had to try to find out. And I wouldn't be surprised if his parents encouraged him to do so. The pressure cooker of NT is obscene, and its just not like any other public high school. No way I want my kids going there. The opportunities are great, but I think its just too hypercompetitive to be healthy. There are other suburban districts almost as good (or by some measures, as good or better), with a lot less pressure, and much lower taxes to boot. The funny thing is that in 4 years, their class rank means s*** as far as a resume is concerned. Their GPA and their SAT/ACT scores + extra curricular will get them into the school of their choice. I can't remember the last time I had someone say, I see you have a CCIE, but what was your ranking in high school. Unless you are the valedictorian, it doesnt matter.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 11, 2008 -> 09:26 PM) Was the information in any of those examples discovered because of a computer hacker? It seems like in those examples the information was either inadvertently disclosed because of accident, or because of employees or the companies seeking to use the information in some other way. In this example, the information was obtained by someone with absolutely no access to the system breaching the system. Seems like apples and oranges to me. SSI, I understand you are in the business of network security. What does the law say the liability is for companies' who have their databases breached by hackers? I would assume standard negligence principles would apply, but perhaps there is some legal test that the majority of states use to determine what is negligence regarding network security and what isn't? Here is the case of a company that didnt secure the data on their laptops. Liable for poor security Lawsuits may define future of Information Security

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 11, 2008 -> 08:55 PM) I haven't looked into the law on this particular issue, but cashing in on your civil liberties being violated is usually quite a difficult task. Maybe civil liberties was the wrong choice of words. Personal information such as medical records, and your social security are protected by several state laws. There is plenty of examples where people have sued over the accidental disclosure of personal information. Here are some Hipaa examples.

QUOTE (farmteam @ May 11, 2008 -> 08:55 PM) Why? It's no more (if not less) malicious than the other. Its about intent. What is more malicious. The hacker who breaks into a front end system, and puts a hidden file and sends a message to the admin saying I hacked your system, or the hacker who breaks into the system and pulls down all the medical records for the employees of that company. Both of these happen to companies, one of these gets the company in hot water with possible fines and litigation. The action of downloading a record is an action initiated by the hacker. He didnt stumble across it, he didnt accidentally view it. He looked for it, found it and downloaded it.

QUOTE (Texsox @ May 11, 2008 -> 04:35 PM) I think the nurishment in the rice would be the same, no matter whose name was on the outside of the box. I am sure that the nourishment would get there quicker if they didnt have to spend time relabeling everything.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 11, 2008 -> 06:26 PM) I understand your second paragraph is mostly in jest, but you honestly need to see the other side of the coin in regards to your consistent comments regarding lawsuits. Things really aren't like how you enjoy trying to portray them. Well really how far am I off on this. The medical reports that this kid snagged are covered under Hipaa protections. All they need to prove is that they did not provide adequate levels of security.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ May 11, 2008 -> 06:35 PM) Here's what I'd like to see in tomorrow's line-up: SS Cabrera LF Quentin RF Dye 1B Konerko DH Thome/Swisher C Pierzynski 3B Crede CF Anderson 2B Uribe Anderson is back to the bench. He was being pinch hit for while Swisher who has looked helpless at the plate was able to bat. Get ready for your usually broadcasted normal lineup for the next few days. Dye should be in the 3 hole.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 11, 2008 -> 05:13 PM) He's starting his approach towards the pitcher WAY too early. How many broken bats must he have before they change his timing mechanism. He is a vet, he can fix himself. Isn't that what we hear.

QUOTE (Frankensteiner @ May 11, 2008 -> 05:09 PM) So what do you guys think is wrong with Swisher? Well they are exploiting him low and away like the usual whitesox hitter. He looks like he is guessing up there as well. And he is trying to pull everything.

Its time to bench Swish for a few games for him to get his swing, and his head in the game. I would rather have Anderson and his defense out there right now. S

Swishers offense is all messed up. Maybe Dye should of pinch hit for him.

QUOTE (farmteam @ May 11, 2008 -> 02:18 AM) Actually, that's exactly what happened, isn't it? The information the student gathered was used in no ill way whatsoever, even after it was apparently downloaded to his personal computer. And actually intent and maliciousness do factor in somewhat, though not much at this point; however, I think they should have played a large role in determining whether or not to press charges. Also, southsideirish, you mentioned people suing the school over them not protecting the records well enough, and I agree with that -- I was actually wondering why it wasn't brought up sooner. Because the civil penalties are secondary to the inital crime. If he pulled this stunt at a company, he would be gone. He found a mickey mouse security setup at a school that is run by the PTA. You know the same motivated parents who think that because their kids commit crimes and they have money, that they shouldnt be held accountable. Much like in Hinsdale where the parents dont want the police to arrest people for underage drinking, the New Trier parents can frown on a crime like this as cute thing. Well when their children enter the corporate world, they will no longer be up against the computer science teacher who is also their security admin. And corporations file charges. On the lawsuit angle. I would sue the school over their lack of protections, and then would sue the student as well for the max on his parents homeowners insurance over violations of my civil liberties. Its great that he wanted to see my SAT Scores, as well as as my medical records. I can only hope that the bags of money will make me feel better. I wonder how many of the kids and parents congratulating him right now would become equally outraged if some megabucks can drop into their kids laps.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 11, 2008 -> 04:46 PM) Well, I've been told by people on here that Jenks' strikeout total doesn't matter, so I guess Garland's doesn't either. He is what he is...a solid #3 AL starter. We should have gotten more for him that a one-year rental. Garland is a rental as well, who complained for the last 2 years about a knot in his shoulder.

Amazing luck there. They botch the pickoff with a bad throw, thank god Uribe fired that to home instead of arguing the call.

QUOTE (YASNY @ May 10, 2008 -> 10:24 PM) I understand that as well, but if they start looking for the junk, they'll get the heat. The chess match of advance scouting. You come up in the majors, you excel for a period of time. Then the scouts pick apart your mechanics. It gets out, the league makes adjustments. Then you make adjustments, and the advance scouts pick it apart again. The evolution of the major league ballplayer.

Adrian Beltre is a fastball hitter. Uh Oh.
