  1. Re:It failed because they went with the lowest bid on How To FIx Healthcare.gov: Go Open-Source! · · Score: 1

    was not subject to the rigorous testing regime demanded by a national service....not a patch for unskilled developers or a crutch for incompetent project managers who are unable to keep the project on track and within scope.

    I worked for CGI Federal for a few years, and this describes the environment to a T.

  2. Router on Milestone: The Millionth UK-Made Raspberry Pi · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'm using it as a home router. It connects to my cable modem and two wireless access points. One access point is a guest network for all the randos who come visit and want to get on wifi, and the other one is for my family's use. I have dhcp handing out IPs, and iptables rules preventing communication between the networks and haxors from the cable modem side. So far, it has worked great, and if an access point ever dies (which seems to be an increasingly common occurrence), I just have to swap in a new one with minimal reconfiguration.

    Let's not forget Mosaddegh "Mohammad Mosaddegh...was the democratically elected[1][2][3][4] Prime Minister of Iran from 1951 to 1953 when he was overthrown in a coup d'état backed by the United States Central Intelligence Agency."

  4. How to disable the backdoor on Verizon Changing Users Router Passwords · · Score: 5, Informative

    http://www.broadbandreports.com/forum/r21990593-modemrouter-Remove-the-actiontec-verizon-backdoor-on-port-456 Haven't tried it, but worth a shot. Took a (very) little bit of googling to find which was still less effort than lambasting the OP.

  5. Re:It's not your router. on Verizon Changing Users Router Passwords · · Score: 1

    That might vary depending on your contract. When I signed up, the advert definitley said "free router," and when I canceled, they told me to keep the router. I'm still using it for its MoCA capabilities (not as my primary router, of course, given the backdoor).

  6. It's a well-known backdoor on Verizon Changing Users Router Passwords · · Score: 1

    It's been well known for years that Verizon has a backdoor into all of the Actiontec routers that they deploy (even if the user changes the admin password, so go easy on the OP). If you're lucky enough to live in a condo complex or somewhere else where they use VDSL to provide internet access (instead of coax or the lesser-used ethernet), you don't have to use the Actiontec router, and can use something else as your Internet-facing device. My co-worker was pretty peeved when he called Verizon tech support one day and they told him that "it looks like you have wireless turned off."

  8. Dulles Airport uses on The Very Worst Uses of Windows · · Score: 1

    Windows in the machines that spit out tickets for the short term lot. I know this because the last two times I've been there, the screen was displaying a 'Low Virtual Memory' warning. Windows also runs the multi-display arrivals/departures screen, because I saw an error message from some UpdaterControl.

    I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany...
