    I remember when /. was so hard up for bandwidth I ended up hosting images.slashdot.org at the ISP I was working for. That's back when it was just Malda, a T1 line, and the community. I was so much better then.

    Or you could just pull over and take a 5-10 minute walk every two hours or so to get some blood flowing to the brain again. In fact, I think this is recommended by most driving instructors.

  14. Re:So lemme get this right: on Cisco SPA300/500 IP Phones Vulnerable To Remote Eavesdropping · · Score: 1

    The proper way to install your VoIP system is to run all the phones on their own VLAN that does not have Internet access. There is no reason for the phone set to have Internet access so why would you even have that on its wire? It shouldn't even have access to your desktops or servers, and vice-versa. The only thing that should be able to talk to the phones is the VoIP controller.

    I was going to reply but the AC in post #49205121 said all that needs said about your rant. But please allow one point: " A quarter of all male suicides in India are directly attributed to family problems." So? I'm surprised it's that low. Besides just plain mental health issues I'm guessing that family and business problems are the cause of most suicides, anywhere.

    As far as "..a world they've never experienced and have little understanding of.." I've walked those halls for over two decades as employee and contractor. I've seen it with mine own eyes, and listed to the stories of coworkers.

    Yeah, I got about 20 minutes in before I was about to put my fist through the monitor. The main perp said that only 20% of women are decent? I though we had rednecks in the US. Nothing like these total pieces of shit.

    Now I see why women avoid IT jobs with all the H1-B dudes roaming the halls.
