It occurs to me, in view of Snowden's revelations and the presumption that anything that Facebook knows the NSA also knows, that we as a community could completely overload the NSA by daily opening a page and typing words like bomb, hack, DNS attack and poison into a post and then closing it.
I don't know what type of router you have but many do have scheduling capabilities. Actually publishing information like brand and model of router would be pretty dumb. My first step would be to contact your router manufacturer and if necessary get one that has that capability. You could even put all of your manufacturing equipment behind one unit on it's own segment of the network with limited access from outside, assuming that you really need network access at all. Unplugging from the network is an option that will permanently take care of the problem.
The military actually were moving to a card and password combination when I left. The cards are not anything like a credit card so aren't easily duplicated.
They operate at least 4 or 5 in the state or Arkansas alone. During the 50s and 60s they just about damed up everything bigger than a trickle from a water hose here. That's the Core of Engineers. That are where the guys that build for the Army get practice for digging in the USA for when they go other places. They have a totally cool model of the Mississippi river in Vicksburg that they use to simulate floods, droughts and other projects in the entire Mississippi river drainage. That's a big area in case you didn't know.
Actually army network passwords have or at least had to be when I worked for them 15 letters long, contain no dictionary words and have a minimum of 2 small letters, to caps and two symbols. They are also changed every 30 days and can not be reused. Also at random times all passwords are just set to be reset because that is what the admins are told to do.
It really depends on the industry that you work in. My wife is a CPA and during the winter and spring she tends to work 60 to 70 hours and was turned down for a job because she didn't think that she could keep up the average 100 hours a week that the people in that office averaged during the spring. Many lawyers do the same thing when they have the work to do 70 to 80 hours a week aren't unusual. When I was running my PC repair business I worked until I finished my work most of the time.
My ISP, AT&T has terrible DNS, at least in this area. They randomly take down DNS servers, without replacing them. In case you don't know this leaves customers without any way to access the internet. They occasionally stop serving requests to competitors. For a while the only way that I could reach my work home page from home was to type in the IP address, at least until I switched to Google DNS. It was sort of important because I was an admin. Google DNS just works. I can go to any page I need to go to.
You are right and it should also be pointed out that one reason that China supports them is that they do not want hundreds of thousands of NK refugees coming over their border.
Unfortunately I was helping a relative set up a new computer, I had already spent several hours working on the computer and was exhausted so when the install failed I just changed to Open Office when the install failed.
It says you can't install it unless you have Java installed or did the last time I tried to install it. My wife has a multi PC copy of MS Office and I use that, most of the time anyway, for what little word processing I do that Google Docs won't do.
I think the person that started this should be called what they were, a government censor and the Chinese government should realize corruption is an inevitable result of censorship.
Better than that is the system that was present in Louisville KY back in the 70s and 80s that if you stuck to a speed, clearly marked on major streets you could proceed at 30, 40, or 45 mph without being stopped by a traffic light. If you went too fast or too slow you would get stopped. If you went the correct, also legal, speed you could usually go 20 to 30 blocks without being stopped by a light.
This can be a symptom of some eye conditions. Seriously get yourself to a good Ophthalmologist, someone that knows eye conditions, not just someone that sells eye glasses. Personally I just had a cornea transplant and I can see much better.
Nope I'm saying that you saw a cop car coming down the street and decided not to swing. For whatever reason none of the predictions of the world ending have ever come true.
Well it hasn't happened yet and that would tend to make people think that all of the idiots yelling "THE END IS COMING!!! "THE END IS COMING!!! "THE END IS COMING!!! "THE END IS COMING!!! have, so far by the available evidence been wrong.
I guess that I am looking at this from the lens of someone that has been seeing predictions of "THE END OF THE WORLD" since the 60s. That was when I first saw a preacher toss a piece of sodium into a decanter of water and declare that this was what was going to happen to the world. He was wrong and not very bright for carrying around metallic sodium too.
Various and numerous other writers, preachers, scientists, historians and hysterics have since then claimed that something or the other was going to end the world as we know it. They were all wrong. I've seen scientists declare that oil burning was going to cause an ice age, ending mankind by burying it in ice and other predictions, in some cases the same scientists saying that oil burning was going to end mankind by temperature rising and it may still. We still don't know enough to make climate predictions with any real success. I'm just tired of people trying to get attention for themselves and whatever they want publicity for by claiming "THE END IS NEAR."
I don't think I said that the world was NOT going to end. What I said was that all of the predictions of the end have been wrong. A very long and consistent record of failure. It is almost always "stupid", your word, not mine, to attribute words not said to someone else.

I used steam heat at one place that I worked. I can say that when it was working it worked well.
Larry Niven will be glad to know that since he used opaque shields in "The Mote in God's Eye"

Should a computer understand us when we can't understand each other?
The military actually were moving to a card and password combination when I left.
The cards are not anything like a credit card so aren't easily duplicated.
They were outlawed. Not allowed on the network. Had to be upgraded and removed from the network.
They operate at least 4 or 5 in the state or Arkansas alone. During the 50s and 60s they just about damed up everything bigger than a trickle from a water hose here.

Unfortunately I was helping a relative set up a new computer, I had already spent several hours working on the computer and was exhausted so when the install failed I just changed to Open Office when the install failed.
The last time I tried to install Libre Office on a relative's computer the installation failed and I haven't had another chance to try it again.
It says you can't install it unless you have Java installed or did the last time I tried to install it.
My wife has a multi PC copy of MS Office and I use that, most of the time anyway, for what little word processing I do that Google Docs won't do.
Open office won't work without Java. Maybe some day I'll be convinced that they have their stuff together again and I'll reinstall it.

Faux news. Easy spelling mistake to make.
