  1. Re:So what? they can be tapped to. on German NSA Committee May Turn To Typewriters To Stop Leaks · · Score: 1

    Yes ironic - though only when I checked did I find that on of them was a false flag and she thought she was working for a neo Nazi which is in away more worrying.

  2. would be ironic on Massive Job Cuts Are Reportedly Coming For Microsoft Employees · · Score: 1

    If mini microsft was one of the ones cut as he/she has been vocal about the need to cut "dead wood" as they see it

    This isn't Wikipedia but http://intelligenceref.blogspo... If mentioned kim philby would you want documentary evidence for that as well - the KGB's romeo spies are very well-known what do you think ana chapman was doing when she married tim "nice but dim" to get an English passport

    Not so sure most of the police carried on postwar Denazification wasn't very rigorous doctors involved in action T carried on practicing in a some cases.

    The acceptance of identify cards is a another indication.

    actualy this was a secretary in the BND Germanys CIA who was seduced into working for the KGB - she though she was working for neo Nazis which is almost as worrying.

    The KGB have used Romeo spies to seduce the secretaries before now - one poor woman killed her self when she found out - the "Americans" series has this as a plot point.

    er not what the wireless CCNA says they quote 10 hosts per AP as a rule of thumb for wifi deployments

    unfortunately you need to run cables to the access points. Wifi for large numbers is not the same as just plonking a single access point next to your phone/cable socket.

    well you need to run cables for a large wifi installation - could they not just put trunking along the walls?

    You still have to run wires for Wi-Fi for poe Ethernet to connect the AP's to the Ethernet network - in the case you cant put the wires in the ceiling or floor the you will have to add trunking. Using trunking might be better less chance of finding asbestos in the roof spaces as a mate of mine found in one of our local schools.

    wifi for a large population say 600+ for a high school is going to be far more costly than a structured cabling roll out which is only $25/30$ per port

    I believe from reading the official histories for allies its custom and practice to let your station chief be known to his/her opposite number.
