I had this working on a help desk, they used a similar system to the one you're mentioning. they tracked bathroom breaks, lunch breaks, and different types of work, such as none call related work, all through the phone system. I'm still at the same company but moved up and out of the help desk, anything call center related will eventually have something like this.
I recommend using it as a foot in the door job and move up and out of it as soon as you can. Too much stress involved with the micro management, for both the employees and the managers.
Why are we making E. coli bacteria better faster and stronger? I suppose it could lead to implementing the same method in other species, mammals maybe even (which would have some pros and cons about them too). But is that leap in science something we want to make at the cost of making something stronger that could possibly damage humanity? It seems like the risks far out weigh what we would have to gain.
In your case, for just wanting to watch shows based on your location, it's all about proxies. now if the local government is watching for proxies and using one is punishable by death... well I wouldn't do that but if they don't care like you said, then I'd try and find a US based proxy that gives some good speed. speed will be the tough part in that though. because you're doing several extra hops to get where you need to go.
As for the Navy doing this. They should just NOT be doing it, it is not very good PR to go and bypass the local countries ISP if they're letting you dock in their country. I'm sure there's alot of nasty legal and international issues that would come up from doing that.
I have only every used smoothwall but others seem to like PfSense better. great at getting a high and low level view of traffic on your network. I say simple but there is some configuring involved and you'll need a separate box with 2 NICs. it can be a low end system though nothing fancy, something like 3-5 GB of space and 256-512 MB of RAM would do you fine.
Anything above 100ms and I begin troubleshooting. I normally get about 70 ms from my CenturyLink connection on a 5-7Mbps line (supposed to be 7 but I normally bounce between 5-7).
If it's an Android tablet, you can load it with a custom ROM for that device that has only the Browser as an application, you can strip everything else out.
At first glance me and my dyslexia read "Physics Say Apollo 16 Astronauts Found Alien Ship"
Then reading on I found the words "remote viewing" and I cursed my brain for swapping letters around without my permissions.
It's probably already in the comments here, but a lot of it was tl;dr. I do like slaker's LTO approach but would also recommend keeping a dedicated server backup system attached to a NAS device or something similar. Right now I don't have that much data, only about 1TB so I keep two external HDD's and any small documents that I'd definitely want to keep I use dropbox to store away. I may not be the best source for personal storage, but have been working in an enterprise environment for a few years now and a tape + NAS backup system has suited us quite well.
Dunbal already mentioned this, but I didn't see anyone commenting on this. Isn't this just LimeWire or Kazzaa in another skin? Seems kinda like a good way to spread crap malware. Is my logic flawed?
I'd be interested to see if this is even possible. From what I understand, which is somewhat limited, it is virtually impossible to completely wipe browser information as it is sometimes required to act a certain way when interfacing with a website. can someone prove me wrong? any suggestion to applications or add-ins for browsers would be sweet too.
If you're just a start up I would suggest that, without me knowing the size of your client base using these databases, you should probably use a vertical scaling database situation. If you're using application servers or web servers that connect to that SQL database. you would want those application servers horizontally scaled in a load balanced environment. But in every scenario I can think of, horizontally scaling a Database would have a detrimental effect on performance.
Wait... WTF why would NASA "erase" the originals? wouldn't that seem like too momentous of an occasion to destroy???!?!?!?!
Or am I miss-reading something here?
It is better to change people thru inspiration and education rather than by force and control. Always has been, always will be.
However, if the states launched an education campaign about texting & driving dangers, that would be an expensive, not an income from citations. Also, our precious insurance companies wouldnt be able to jack your rates up nearly as high.
If I could figure out how to give you a better score I would. this is the perfect info relating to the problem mentioned.
From what I understand, devices that block or interfere with telecommunication devices are currently illegal at least for normal commercial and consumer use. I'm sure the government has some use for those devices and this might be an application where they could use them. but for such a device to be installed on a vehicle that I own? I would not like that and probably just deactivate the device.
You're right. I think there might be some confused minds here. GOG was focusing on NON-DRM applications so that users would be able to use the application, virtually however they wanted to, without the restrictions of DRMS.
The upkeep on the proposed system would be insane, it sounds like you should make the proposition to the government to assist in funding of the installation and then place you on a payroll for upkeep of the system and monitoring/reporting to authorities. You might just do the upkeep and let officials track offenders and deliver citations. other citizens taking the law into their own hands and handing out penalties doesn't sound like a recipe for peace or non-violent interactions.
Is it possible that Avast could be finding false positives in the scans that the are running? I know it's quite possible on scanning of my local files and what not, but I'm not too familiar with the scanning of websites.
This brings to mind Immanuel Velikovsky's book worlds in collision. I'm don't remember if this instance is in his book, but I've noticed that many scientists take credit for what was already hypothesized by Velikovsky.
Easiest way... Remove the printers from the office. That's what they did in my office. one day without warning Field Service just yanked it. its very rare that I have to print something out so if I need to I switch to a secondary network I have access to and print from there. but let me tell you removing the printers not only saved cost in paper and ink but removed the problems of having to reset print spoolers on servers and complaining to Field Services to fix them.

Repeal the law and ticket based on inattentive or reckless driving.... peice o' cake
GOG doesn't use DRM...

If they wont tell you where your dog is, then what good is a chip? sounds almost like a scam.

Ideed. I think that the closer we get to micromanaged nations the closure we come to loosing humanity and independence.

way to cave face book. please move your hq to islamabad.
Ideed! what has happened to Freedom of Speech! It keeps slipping away word by word.
