Net Neutrality Discussion – Tomorrow 7pm? June 2, 2006 4:35 pm
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Announcements, Daily Life, Of InterestAnyone in Knoxville want to have an impromptu Net Neutrality brown bag type discussion? Borders in Turkey Creek is having its grand opening. How about we meet in the coffee shop at 7:00pm. We can chat for 45 minutes (give or take) then watch Todd Steed.

Knoxville – Turkey Creek
The bands following is growing throughout the southeast. Their new CD is garnering super reviews for this rock n’ roll crew.
If the coffee shop is where all the activity is happening we can just meet there and take the discussion to another part of the store or the fountain outside.

Secure today – gone tomorrow June 2, 2006 9:50 am
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Security, Technology
High tech thieves are targeting keyless entry cars. Becoming more prominent is the option to enter your car and start it without a key. We rely on the quality of the software and the strength of encryption. But what happens as your car ages and over time strong encyption becomes weak encryption? I can see a day where a thief simply walks past older cars in a mall parking lot to have doors pop open or engines start. Or perhaps I sit down in the drivers seat to see a message on the dash "Important security update available! Download now?" I’ll ponder my watch knowing I’m already late but a security update means a vunerability in my security system has been found and the thieves know it. BUT! If I update and restart my car, it might not work. I am powerless but to turn on my best Shatner, clench my fists, look to the ceiling, and as the camera pans out scream "Gaaaaattees!" (hear Shatner)
