However, if your not concerned so much about recovering your data as you are about someone else recovering your data, I would zap the chip with 110V ac current. We used to play with EEPROMS and the like in college, putting too much current to them, it literally melts the logic gates.
Or, since you can have multiple clients connecting at 108Mbs through the wireless, you just hook up two 15W PoE cables to the access point, to provide more "backend" bandwidth and power.
For those that are going to call Goodwin's Law, look up eugenetics. Many US states practiced it up until around the time of WW2 (some states even did it later). Sterilizing prisoners, people they decided were mentally ill, etc. Some really, scary and depressing cases. Sure, it wasn't necessarily race based, but definitely the same idea that a certain European country had.. In fact, they claimed they got the idea from California.
Obviously, they devoted their time in school to protesting and changing the world, instead of studying history textbooks..;)
But damn, everything our parent's generation did when they were kids, they have made illegal for the next generation. Did your parents go to parties when they were underage and drink? Did they get Cited by the police for it? What about smoking a bit of weed. Bet they would ground you! In my town, they used to cruise one of the main roads. Nowaday's there are signs posted saying you can be fined/jailed for driving down the street more than 3 times in a night.. (seriously!)
Why on earth would you need to access your machine to get your data? Are you actually storing important data on the desktop? You really, really need to look into File Redirection in GPO's. We move desktops, Application data, and MY documents to a network drive, that is actually backed up every night. Users don't have to worry about losing data because their drive dies, or whatever.. They can also move to any other computer, and have almost all their apps running on it. (there are a few exceptions for specialized software) On our student network, we setup every desktop to power down at midnight. All run virus scan's updates, etc, between 10pm and midnight. (labs close at 10pm.) The servers stay on, so files can be reached remotely. In the morning, only a few machines will automatically turn on, most wait for someone to push the button. The power saving for us were significant enough to not worry about a student having to wait 30 seconds for a machine to boot.
I'm going to roll this out to our admin network computers as well. We are really saving noticable amounts of money, because not only are the machines not powered, but the AC doesn't have to run to keep the rooms cooled. THe only glitch I have ran into is when I need to push out updates to all computers, and some were not turned on that day. In the late afternoon, I use WOL to wake up all computers on campus.
Comcast, now up to 160Meg connections* Then, way down the page, in size 2 font, after the stuff about APR to confuse readers.. *These speeds are the maximum, results not typical. Go to comcast.com to read more (and good luck finding anything more, we tried our best to bury it..)
it'd be stopped faster than Hitler. you mean after a long, drawn out war, in which millions are killed and left homeless? Were talking about a TIME person of the year here...
Virtual server 2005 R2 SP2 has a new feature that will use the host systems VSS Snapshots to take a snapshot of the running image in a way that can be backed up. However, it appears that only a few of the backup software providers work with it yet. So, like the previous post, you can always install the backup agent inside the VM, or use scripting to pause the VM, backup the big file, and then unpause it.
Are you talking about Klamath Falls? God I hate this town. I had to get cable, since in my house, right in the middle of town, I could only get 3 channels. Spent a week in Wisconsin over the holiday's. We were hating that my girls dad didn't have cable, and only got 5 channels over the air. He said, oh, you have to turn on the DVD player, its got a digital tuner. Suddenly, we had 50 channels or so of crystal clear TV. Amazing.
No, Real-ID is not dead in the water, much against the attempts by some enlightened states. If things don't drastically change, the citizens of those states will have to have passports to fly, since their state issued Drivers license will not meet the needs of federal identification at airports.
Exactly. Towing companies notify police every time they tow a car, since the owner is likely to call 911, and report their car has been stolen. I would imagine the penetration testing companies do the same thing.
You know, I like watching NWCN, but their site is utter crap. I'm not going to create an account, give you all my detailed info, and my email address to read something off the AP wire, or to read the weather. that is just crap.
The 270's were horrible for the capacitors on the motherboards. They even extended the warranty for the mobo only for another year. We lost something like 20% of ours. I've also had several power supplies fail in the GX620 lines. Not nearly as bad as the 270's problems, but still about 3 times our normal average.
I don't want to sound like a fanboy for apple (I don't own a mac) but isn't this what apple has done 3 times now? Once, when they switched from Motorola to PowerPC chips (so your programs could run, but slower) once when they released OSX (so your version 9 apps could run in "classic mode" though slower) and one last time when the moved to Intel chips ?? Built into the OS.. a compatibility mode that is slower, but functional..
I live in a small town (40k people or so) most of the traffic lights do this every night, after 10pm or so. Most of their lights are old, and have timers, not sensors. So now you don't have to stop at 11pm, and wait while you are the only one in the intersection.
True, but that is for collections issues. What if they royally hose my credit score, that everything from loans to Car insurance rates are based upon? Why should I have to monitor my credit (from 3 different companies) and look for anomalies, then try to spend hours and hours of time to try to rectify the situation? And of course, Usually people find out about this because they get denied for something because of the inaccuracies in their credit reports..
Meanwhile, the person needs car insurance (in my state, OR, its the law) and can't wait until the credit situation is fixed before having to spend much more money on insurance.
The thing that gets me is that if someone steals my identity, and writes checks, credit card payments, etc. I have to prove that the purchaser IS NOT me! That seems a little backward. Shouldn't the merchant, Credit reporting company etc, have to prove it IS me? (ie, the presumption of innocence?) I can't hire an employee without Social Security number, State issued ID Card, etc, to make sure that they are them. I would love to see someone release EVERYONE's name and social security number, because then, and only then, would drastic steps have to be taken to stop using it as an "private" identification number. As a kid, I always assumed that by now, we would use our thumprints instead of signatures, or other biological, unique identifiers.
Lets assume I sell cars (since slashdot loves/hates car analogies) and I also sell "extended warranties". I want more people to purchase the extended warranties, because they have much higher profit margins. The tires that come standard on all my cars are rated at 40,000 miles. If I announce that tomorrow, all cars purchased with extended warranties get 40,000 mile tires compared to our new standard 20,000 mile tires on non extended warranty cars, am I adding value?
I couldn't agree more with you. Now, if Netflix partnered with Tivo, and/or with Apple on the Apple TV, I would buy one in a heartbeat. Imagine the possibilities. For some reason, I think of a movie. I click a couple of buttons, and boom, 5 minutes later (to enable plenty of buffering) i'm watching it on my big TV. No waiting a few days for the mail to arrive, no driving down to the store. Say they had a rule that you could keep them on your Tivo or Apple TV as long as you wanted, but could only have 2 or 3 downloaded at any given time. This would be SWEET!
Rather than just raid 0 drives, they also have an option for a 64GB Flash drive, and 200GB second hard drive. This looks like an interesting idea. Get the speed and power savings of a flash drive, and the second drive can spin up and store more when you need it to, then go back to sleep.
Then again, the nanosecond after they did such a thing, esp. after outing him/her in such a public manner, would likely put themselves at substantial legal risk.
But with lawyers involved, thats not how it works. They would ignore him for awhile, giving the coworkers better performance reviews (not bad for the employee, but better for the others) ensuring the others get promotions. They would slowly change the scope of work of the employee, to set them up to fail. They would also start doing LOTS of random audits of his department, writing him up for making a personal call, hitting their banks website, etc. So that they will have a paper trail in the employee's file showing they were bad. Other co-workers would file complaints about little things, which would get added to the pile, etc. Basically, they will drive the employee so low that they will hate it, and quit.
Ahh, we could be like plumbers.. Want to be one of us? You'll have to be an "apprentice" for x years, for bad pay, and crappy work (yeah, I know). Then, you can take the test, but only you have the x000 hours of "apprentiship". Then you can be called a plumber, and learn how poop should always run downhill, or else it backflows
My hesitation with Zimbra is the way it implements resources. In our situation, we have resources that we want someone to "approve/deny" so that it stays consistent. IE, invite the checkout laptop (its a resource) and the person in charge of that resource gets an email, and can say yes/no/etc. I have seen workarounds of having one person have multiple calendars in their own account for resources, but then they are hard to locate/find. I am also waiting for SyncML to be built in, as all our PDA's use it to sync to our Oracle Calendar system.

Yeah, they can. Hospital workers especially have to have been vaccinated for TB, among other things..

Nobody is going to take on $250,000 in university debt for a job that pays $6/hr, you'll never earn it back.
Please use google to lookup "Liberal Arts Majors"
What do you call a liberal arts major? "Check please!"
