USD, yes. i suppose i was referencing the smaller companies, particular in the 50-500 employee range. these are the companies that seem to think they can skim the most off the IT department.
i thought about some of what you said after i made my post, which brought something else to mind. as you said, secretaries with information can prove to be just as damaging. even more damaging would be when it's somebody that should have an IT profession but has been unable to find such a position that pays more than the salary of peon in one fashion or another.
i certainly believe this type of job required inside help, but i'd love to know what kind of position the person held. perhaps the position was closer to the distribution level, even.
this is why IT should be paid more. 40k/y sysadmin salaries is currently the biggest joke to date, considering the creative/destructive power of the positition
The risk potential of DDoSing cellular networks primarily occurs during a homeland attack. while the scope of the attack is obviously small, theoretically this could be used in conjunction with precision attacks to further prevent help/rescue as needed. otherwise, the value of such an attack is relatively minimal and i'm sure this type of attack can be prevented. these attacks sound mostly like a proof-of-concept.
i'm personally too scared to use SSD for anything semi-permanent until btrfs moves to the stable branch. i suppose ssd is fast enough to just use ext2, though.
I've dealt with the issue where the board bends away from the usb contacts. my stepmother pushed down too hard or stepped on my drive while it was sticking into a computer. i could tell that device was still working because it would flicker with connectivity if i had bent it the right way. unfortunately, i didn't have a soldering kit at the time so i ended up junking what was otherwise a perfectly good 8gb drive. i sometimes wonder how often i could revive a 'dead' flashdrive with a few pricks of solder.
and when they start trying to get the ISPs to disconnect users for infringement, lawsuits will start springing up in regards to the people leeching off the morons with open wifi connections, etc. good game, RIAA. the people will still win.
you are right about that. obama is a people pleaser, it's likely he will seek out a compromise nullifying the extremities of the patriot act, while still keeping it useful under certain conditions in the event of an actual terrorist plot. i'll be curious as to how he goes about achieving that goal, though
Obama voted to reauthorize the USA PATRIOT Act, which extended the Act, but with some amendments. Such amendments would clarify the rights of an individual who has received FISA orders to challenge nondisclosure requirements and to refuse disclosure of the name of their attorney.
He voted against extending the USA PATRIOT Actâ(TM)s Wiretap Provision on March 1, 2006. This bill would give the FBI the authority to conduct âoeroving wiretapsâ and access to business records. Voting against this bill would prolong the debate, keeping the USA PATRIOT Act provisional whereas voting for this bill would extend the USA PATRIOT Act as permanent.
