is to prove to prospective employers that you "can learn or be taught".
Nothing I learned in college I have yet to or have ever used. Each job I have held since graduating in 1989, I have been trained on or have had to teach myself. I even started a successful side business in 2003 that is still going and bringing in about 65K a year in addition to my regular salary.
None of the stuff I do (geek) I learned in school and I went to a trade school for Computer Science.
The piece of paper that you get at graduation is virtually worthless and only proves that you have the ability to be taught.
The group used social engineering to access the email accounts of John Brennan, the director of the CIA, as well as the Director of National Intelligence, and former FBI deputy director Mark Giuliano, according to the article. One exploit involved "posing as a Verizon technician and tricking the company's tech-support unit into revealing the CIA director's account number, password and other details.
That IT department (in CIA/FBI) should be fired. Everyone knows that there is no reason for Verizon to ask for any passwords. If they were that easily socially engineered, I'm seriously afraid for this country.
I do live in Texas and here's how the last several elections have been laid out.
Go to the court house, there is a table with 3 elderly ladies sitting behind it. I go to the first lady and show her your voter registration and she asks for your ID. I show her my ID and she asks "Republican or Democrat?" (Why that makes a difference I don't know), but I tell her Democrat (I think once I actually asked why that mattered), and she takes one of 2 little rubber stamps that either says R or D on it. And marks that next to my name and address in a big book.
This shows that I have come to vote. Then she hands my ID to the next lady and also marks a "voted" on my voter registration card and hands it back to me. The 2nd lady writes down my name in a sign-in roster and asks me to sign my name. I do that and she hands my ID to the 3rd lady who looks at it, enters some information onto a machine which spits out this little piece of paper with a 4 digit number on it. She hands that piece of paper back to me along with my ID.
Now all 3 ladies have viewed my ID and the 3rd lady has tied my ID to a 4 digit number. Maybe it's not tied together, but I find it very odd that she used my ID to enter something from it, and that generated the 4 digit code.
I then take the 4 digit code to the voting machine and enter it. It pulls up the ballot and I put in my votes. Then I review the votes and finally cast my ballot.
That's how it works where I live in Texas. In my eyes, that's not secret. That 4 digit code is tied to my votes, which is tied to my ID.
are secret anyway. I had to show them my voter registration card, my picture ID, and from that, they entered something into a computer which spit out a 4 digit number. Then that 4 digit number is used on the voting machines. So they already know that my ID is tied to that number and that number is tied to my votes.
There's no secrecy any more.
Some of the leaked emails from party staffers depicted officials favoring now-Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton over Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders during their primary campaign.
This makes it sound like each DNS staff member must all either be for Hillary or for Bernie. Just stating in an email that some prefer one over the other shouldn't matter.
It's fucking shit you learn in elementary school. If adults cannot use correct grammar, then there is no hope for humanity.
Spelling mistakes happen, so does the occasional grammar mistake but really simple mistakes that happen too often piss me off.
Competent adults should know the difference between "there", they're", and "their" and also "to", "too" and "two"
It's not rocket science and is shit we learned in the 4th grade. Get it right or go the fuck home.
Same here.
Windows 10 wouldn't see my NIC. I had no network access at all. Couldn't find the drivers online (checked from my Linux workstation) and ended up reverting after a day of trying to get it to work.
Won't be trying that again!
...setting off bombs at the 2013 Boston Marathon that killed three people and injured hundreds more in the worst terrorist attack on American soil since Sept. 11, 2001.
Beg to differ... The Oklahoma bombing was much worse.
He could have very easily come to one of his counselors and asked for help...
Student: Excuse me, but I'm having trouble hacking into the computer in order to change my grade. Can you please help me?
Counselor: Sure hang on... (tap-tap tap)...
There you go.
It allows the touch sensor to scan users' body parts...
Is it just limited to ears, fingers, fists, and palms? Does it have to be your body part?
Honey, bend over, I need to unlock my phone.

Or as I liked to call it. Random Problem Generator.
Worse than Cobol and Fortran combined.

Even her phone couldn't satisfy her, so she is sewing.

Why not have it off if everything is working and only on or blinking when something is broken?

Would she then be entitled to the winnings? I would think not.
We already have Trump Tower, Trump Steaks, Trump Apparel, Trump Fragrance... Now we'll also have Trump Porn! No thanks!
Nigeria has an anti-fraud agency?
Wait. You randomly stick your penis in USB ports?
Made in China.

Isn't $699 what SCO was charging for a Linux license? Something smells rotten in Denmark.

Watch Clinton's email be totally unaffected and more secure :)

Only theoretical, though. Windows 9x would crash long before reaching this uptime.
Well, in fairness, only if you tried to do something with it.
Like.. Fly a plane?
