At my college the roaming profiles would occasionally get rather large and we would have people who had to wait 20-40 minutes to log in. Yes, just to log in, not even to boot the PC and have it connect to the domain, etc.
While this is not optimal, and part of my job was to fix that delay, I will say that someone out there has time enough for two cups of coffee in the morning waiting to boot their machines, and if they have an electronic time clock system, that person's wages are definitely being illegally affected by that.
Actually, the middle books can be compressed. The first two can be compressed some, but a bunch is needed for the reader / viewer to have any idea what the hell is happening. The middle books could take out a bunch of extraneous / descriptive shit and just tell the damn story. And aside from 8, 9 and 10 having a significant chunk of Perrin wandering in the FUCKING Forests!, the later books seem to be as concise as RJ was _able_ to be. Besides whenever the 12th book finally is released, the scriptwriter can remove a big chunk of the loose ends that are inconsequential and forgotten/unresolved.
The Wheel of Time is perfectly suited to movie adaptations, because Robert Jordan could not be prevented from explaining EVERYTHING to the reader. Wardrobe, Set Design, Props, Linguistics, Choreography. All the background elements of a movie are already clearly specified. All a movie crew would have to do is follow the instructions.
And since a large portion of the text is descriptive, careful attention to detail can condense the material, while still being true to the original work.
No, you should always use nitrile gloves(latex might melt) and a whip when handling carnival midgets. Also, please be sure to train yours not to climb up people's legs, it's creepy, even the "leg dances" they can become surprisingly skilled at.
Well, during the time I was broke and saving every penny, it swelled so much that I had to hire a fleet of dump trucks to carry it in front of me, but only until I got the first invoice, because then it returned to normal.
According to TFA, this was first discovered in April. Therefore, either it didn't affect the 2004 election, or no one caught it, or it was swept under the rug. Brenner the official involved is a first-term democrat, but it didn't say when Brenner's term began.
Ok, a passport can't be updated by a patch. I get that. But why can't a passport reader be patched? I mean if the company that built it has engineers who wear their underpants on their head, yeah it's not going to be patchable, but if there is some room for patching built in, what's to stop you from updating the software.
The software should be where the crypto is (or isn't) being implemented. I'll admit I haven't been following these stories anywhere but on/. but I'm not agreeing with the blanket statement that the readers have to be disposed of rather than updated.
All we need is a new Olympic Event -- Tank Pulling. See it's a "sporting event" and I'm sure every foreign reporter could get the parallels. (We may even get some highly memorable "parody" stills.)
yeah, but OpenSSH allows you to pick your desired key length, so if you're using your own setup it can be as secure as possible assuming customs didn't install a keylogger, or even notice your Linux partition.
You know, all he's gotta do is drag the trial out for a number of years, until he's either in assisted living, or dead and he'll never go to prison at all.
Give Me The Brain (I forgot what lettuce is) and its sequel, The Great Brain Robbery are two of my all time favorite games. And they are incredibly easy to introduce new players to and for new inductees to have _FUN_ with.
Alright, from TFA, these are departmental passwords, they are for VPN access, and a source who may be knowledgable about the case says this is something a Net Admin would normally have on their PC. Let's look at his job, he is the Network Admin. He's responsible for making sure everybody can access the network. Therefore, it should be his job to keep this document so that he can provide the users(of the proper departments) with their proper access credentials.
This proves nothing, except that the DA and the city IT may be functionally retarded, and that security probably is a horrible nightmare in SF.
To any Stephenson fan, this sounds remarkably like certain points from The Big U.
As the avid reader will remember, fighting the Worm in an attempt to save the data was a losing proposition, a total wipe and reload was necessary to be sure of what software was actually there.
