Bought stock in a company that God told me was a sure bet, though I never bought stock before.
Also, three of the newest Sony BMG albums, though I have never heard of any of the bands before today and haven't bought an album in a decade.
Fake Viagra at a bulk discount, though I have no erectile problems and for some reason I was talking to myself in a Russian sounding accent -weird-
This was all going pretty weird until suddenly I snapped out of it after I told myself to shove it when I suggested to myself that I needed to buy a copy of Vista, install it, and let automatic updates run, UAC run unedited, and buy a copy of the new Office to boot!!
I obviously needed to seek professional help, so I will talk to you guys after I go to these self healing seminars at this time share I was telling myself about (they even have a raffle!)
Just you wait my friend until this is used for advertising purposes. The really scary part is if they could possibly replicate your own voice, would you be able to tell the difference of cognitive thought process and somebody injecting your own voice into your thoughts? This also is VERY VERY dangerous when talking religious fanatics of any type, to be able to play "The Voice of God" just not cool (but could win wars....)
Did they not install green lasers near the whitehouse after 911 as a notification system when you breach the no-fly zone near the capitol?? If I had more time (at work) I would look it up, but I'm pretty darn sure of it. Now if the feds can use this as a notification system, how could a pilot claim pain and suffering from a consumer grade version?
Anybody noticed that the 249 package hasn't been around for weeks? The only Wii packages I have seen is the $500 bundle that comes with a limp array of add-ons. I was thinking this was a dirty market play on their behalf, but it may have been in effort to curb sales slightly to help overcome the holiday buying frenzy that will lead to even more problems when it comes to supply/demand.
However, I never really seen any company (of Nintendo's stature) regardless of the type of industry to bow down to production limitations, esp in the highest profit season of the year for them. Any company with that kind of resources *should* have the infrastructure in place (even temporarily outsourced if needs be) to meet a year long overwhelming demand. They are leaving money on the table, or they have something up their sleeve.
which (prior to Dubya anyway) was outside of the NSAs mandate. I'm sure your chops have already been busted, but wasn't the NSA a product of the Bush administration?
I just had to go admit to my damn boss that I (a diligent (also been referred to as 'anal') security minded individual) that thanks to my "handy" pen-drive that at LEAST 25-30 of our client's servers, not to mention our office equipment now have root-kits on them. That was it for me, now I just have to find a replacement product for the several ux380 we were looking at for toys for the boys.
I imagine though, that an outburst of uncontrollable laughter from my boss while telling him about this is a sign of job security.
Is there an anti-rootkit utility that would be updated/recent enough to facilitate this infection? Or the fact that I can view it from command line mean that I can remove it manually from there? I don't have to worry about re-infection because I already threw 2 of them straight in the trash, no use even giving them to a friend.....
Vtiger CRM 5 is what we have been using in the office for tracking tickets/accounts between 6 techs in 3 remote offices. Works great and it is AJAX based, so it is very customizable and easy to put a web portal up with for tickets on the go. Very, very easy to configure and pretty darn user friendly.
Heh, kinda like when they tried to take Terminal Services out of XP with SP2. Didn't take long for most of us to realize it was just a.dll switch and one registry edit away from 3 concurrent sessions in SP2, still works too =P

You my friend miss the point. They mandated a specific set of security policies and procedures, that if you spend the money to comply to, in their book you are as secure as you are REQUIRED to be. In the event of taking a fraudulent credit card, you are not delving outside of the preset security mandates, you were just a sucker that took a stolen card without checking the name on the back of the card to match an ID. Bet you didn't check the receipt to make sure that it matches the name on the card (reprogrammed mag stripe). In the instance of being compromised from a security standpoint, if you meet the all of the requirements set forth, then you were exploited beyond the realm of the compliance standards. The new standards include storage limitations on card data (can't store full swipe anymore), encryption standards (SSL), mandates on what we can do with what little data is actually manipulatable by the pos vendor among many, many others. The kicker is, my software provider doesn't even have the encryption keys to decrypt the.dbf's that we keep the card data in. You know how much of a pain in the @#$#* this has proven to be?? It's a little gestapo-esque, but a darn good implementation of CYA by VISA/MC etc.
The thing that everyone is missing is that if you comply, you have just as good if not better coverage than you did before. The people that do not comply, not only do not get any of the safety nets they are used to, VISA and friends can actually charge you more per transaction or completely cut you off. This includes retailers, banks, merchant processors, the whole shebang.
For the record, I work in the POS industry and have been delving into the PCI/CISP compliances for awhile making sure that we have taken all necessary steps to comply. The big factor that seemed to not be mentioned in the parent posting is the fact that the merchant is ONLY at fault and liable IF their processor/pos/and bank are not ALL PCI/CISP compliant. If you bend over and comply (this meant ALOT of money for some people) within the overall guidelines you are covered like normal unless you are deemed uncompliant.
Find some way to vent 20% of the planets atmosphere into space. That should get rid of enough CO2. Hey, your plan is half done!! We've already made you a hole big enough for the exhaust vent out of the Ozone layer.
It's ok man, Chia-Shingles come in multiple colors of white: White, Off-white, supremacist, Mother of Pearl, and yes even the ever so popular "Tighty Whitey."
Like anybody (unless mandated by the JUDGE or MINIMUM sentance) actually serves a full sentence for crimes of this nature. However, UK might differ a little from this as I'm not as familiar with their court systems.
Considering the release date of Vista, I doubt that the stats you are talking about even have.0001 percent of the infected machines actually running Vista. Not that I work for BG's PR team, just a valid point.
On the other hand, Bill just might as well s#@* in both of his hands because he's going to wish he didn't say that.
I work for a POS dealer, and we thought about using this type of machine for our terminals. In the long run for us, it would actually cost us money, since we make most of our money on support and maintenance. On the other hand of this matter, the same equation for in-house equipment can be a tremendous savings. With alot of medium to large companies using SAP servers these days, it really is not that bad of an idea to run these "dumb" terminals. Due to the fact that if your VMware server goes down anyway, you aren't going to get much done anyway with centralized storage and application deployment.
I read somewhere the other day (probably on/.) that we have outsourced so many jobs in to India that India in turn was outsourcing it's internal IT needs. I literally about had a heart attack this made me so incredibly mad. You know on the surface level, yeah it sounds kinda like an over-reaction but all of this is going to end up in our laps sooner than we think if we keep this trend up. So it's a given that almost everything that you bought electronic or nic-nac wise was made in an oriental country, we are used to that. So it's a given that an overwhelming (I've heard up to the 90th percentile)percentage of the total American wealth is controlled by far less than 10 percent of the population. Then you have immigrant workers (some legal, some not but that's not the main killer) who ship almost all of their paychecks right out of the country. Then we go and outsource A WHOLE COUNTRY WORTH (referring to India) of IT jobs that Americans would be willing and able to fill. I think all of us in the IT industry know that the top of the crust is easily employed and usually rewarded to the point of never leaving. Then you have a plethora of mid-range knowledge/experience people that have a hard time finding decent jobs due to the saturation of the market and idiotic middle management that has no idea how to hire good IT people. Then you have the bottom feeders, who don't even work in the industry anymore or even had a chance because of the saturation of the market. Now my question is, when you call a freaking help desk in the middle of the day for a replacement part or a work order you get a guy in a different country that cant A: Speak English or B: Help me in any which way shape or form one of the English speaking and ready to be properly employed American. If this keeps up I have no idea how America has a viable economic base to hang it's hat on. This is not even touching the trillion dollar deficit, sprawl-mart epidemic, frivolous copyrights, outrageous law suits, failing bi-partisan structure, xxAA, and the list really could go on but I've ranted long enough for one post.
We all know that no matter how many leaps and bounds we make it will all be proprietary in the end. Even if we end up being able to power most of our consumer electronics in a wireless environment you will still have to buy some pos with a brand name on it to interface into a purely universal power source. So clap and rejoice all you want, it will be ruined by big business.

Strangely I have had the same thought, but I figure by the time we have holodecks, splooge socks will be outdated..
I'd much rather have a holodeck, the possibilities are endless!
