Case in point, the link for "I don't agree" just sets you up with one of their business associates to do a professional appraisal, which you'll then have to pay for, and they'll get a kick back (err, "referral fee").
Bumped your listing 1K in size (why not). The listing description still lists the original square footage. No fraud here other than the bogus estimates Zillow is doing.
Every CU I know is part of the CO-OP ATM network, meaning you can use any of the other CU's CO-OP ATMs, fee-free. All 7-11s I've every visited are CO-OP ATMs as well. Do you know how many 7-11s there are in the US?
Uhm, I don't think you read that article correctly. Oregon walked away from $260M they paid Oracle and went to the Federal Exchange. Oregon has DBs & apps (probably mostly internal) that use Oracle already, and they're getting to use them for "free" as part of the settlement for a time. They were already locked-in for many other uses, but didn't stick with them for their health exchange.
They already charge a fee to be nearly TSA-free. It's call TSA Precheck. $75 for 5 years. You get to skip the long long and keep your belt and shoes on.
It is a huge failure as most people who don't fly regularly don't want to be bothered with the fee or the background check hassle. It takes 2-4 months to get it done ahead of time, depending on where you live and your airport, etc.
TiVo for the win - use the awesome TiVo interface and find whatever recorded, Netflix, or Amazon (and Hulu Plus if you can stomach ads still) shows you want to watch, all from the same great interface.
While a criminal background check may prevent and remove some firearms, it won't stop things like San Bernardino. In order to stop that latest shooting, we'd need a Minority Report-style pre-crime analysis of people, which not only isn't technically possible, it's unconstitutional.
Back to your original point: California already has a system that automatically flags gun owners who commit prohibiting crimes and disarms them, the California DoJ Armed and Prohibited Persons System, aka APPS. They go after 5150s as well. However, they often overstep their bounds disarming spouses as well, until lawyers reign them back in (the firearms just need to be secured from the Prohibited Person, which can mean they just don't know the combo to the safe).
Additionally, CCW holders in California are constantly being watched by their Issuing Agencies. No doubt their IA will know very soon after an arrest and revoke their permit and secure their firearms. At a minimum, California CCW holders go through a background check every 2 years during the renewal process.

I know the industry I'm in, we have regulations which require 3+ years of data retention which "isn't providing anything useful" until it is. If we have a legal "issue" then that will extend until the legal issue goes away and the judge says we can destroy data. While we can use archive methods, sometimes the live system is really what is needed to retrieve data. It's better to just keep disks spinning than shut them down and hope they spin back up.
IT has a long tail where I work. Things are planning to last 5 years often have a good deal of life for another 2-5 years (not all, but many). The "usage" of these systems may only be once a month, quarter, or even annually, but it makes more sense than to port data over that doesn't need to be kept in the replacement system.
Many times even when we have an "official" cutoff for a system, we just power it down and let it sit in the rack until the next years' inventory, at which time it is then sent off the the auction yard (sans hard drives) to be bid on by the pallet load.
Are they just trying to keep things lean and mean? If you don't churn the bottom performers, people get lazy. Cutting 10% might catch some hard workers going through hard times (family, health issues). Cutting just the bottom 5% allows for a bit of grace, and should inspire the 6-10% to step it up. Especially if they are given their rankings, and know how close to the bottom they are - but I don't know what Cisco does there, only speculating.
There are many things the State has that are public records, like birth and marriage records, but it doesn't mean the State has to put that information available as an entire data set. Originally California did that and learned very quickly how foolish this was because of identity fraud. Yes, the records are still public, but you have to have a valid reason to get access to them, and have to appear in person and/or have to request the information with a signed Notary Public form, etc.
I'm not a lawyer, blah, blah. However, last I checked, they can't sue you for downloading, only uploading (by default, most BitTorrent clients are going to upload).
Even if they could go after you for downloading, there are plenty of Binary USENET providers that offer bundled VPN service.
Plenty of DVR solutions have been out for years which will automate downloading of all your favorite shows via USENET services. Game over for the media companies a long time ago for anyone with a technical clue.
Now that Comcast removed the download caps again, it's very viable.
The only holdover most guys have are sports, and old people want live news.
Java 6 update 37 also broke the ASA ASDM interface. Works just fine with Java 6 update 33 (update 35 wasn't a real security fix for Java 6). TAC is reviewing and will probably post a bugid soon.
I think the smell factor depends on how used to bicycling and cooling off your body is. I've got 3 guys at work that I bike with, and they're in great bike shape (they do a few centuries a year). We often bike for an hour or so at lunch. They get back to the office and towel off or whatever in this offices, and have no problem during the summer months.
I don't bike as much as I should (once or twice a week usually, sometimes more, somtimes less, not very consistant due to needing to fit in a my work hours, etc.), I sweat a bit more and take a bit to cool off, so I do shower off when I get back.
However, the last week the weather has been plenty cool enough and by pacing myself for the 1.5 miles on city streets to slow down (after 4 miles on the paved and single-track bike trails), I manage to cool off and just towel off and put on some deoderant and I'm also fine.
Red Hat Linux, Fedora Core, Fedora, MythDora, CentOS and Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Long version of it:
There were a set of Red Hat Linux 5 CDs sitting at work - let me back up first - A buddy at work had played with Linux a little, but he was still a PC tech at the time doing printers and desktops, and I'd moved over to doing Novell and Microsoft server stuff for work and some Cisco work, but basically we were living paycheck to paycheck, living in studio apartments and no real spare PCs to dink on (each of us just with a PC and a dial-up modem).
I'd been tasked 6 months or so ago when I was a lowly PC tech to clean out this storage room. I'd found this PC, in an IBM AT case (with the big red switch power supply on the right side), that had been sitting there forever. The service tag was very old, and if I recall right, the person who had dropped it off didn't want to pay for the work or whatever, so it was just sitting there. I asked if I could have it, but was told that the customer might still pay for it (yeah right). I ask if I could put a Post-It note on it with the date or something saying I could have it in 6 months. "Sure." So 6 months later, I had a spare PC - 486 DX4-100 with like 4mb of RAM. These were the days of Win95, but this piece of junk had Win3.1 or something on it.
Where I worked had just opened a new office in a bigger city just north of our HQ. One of the things we offer was ISP services to commercial accounts - T1s and nailed-up (always connected) ISDN. We had some BIND DNS servers that had been installed at this office, but I wasn't in charge of them and couldn't touch them. But sitting on the desk by them was a set of Red Hat Linux 5 CDs.
I burned a copy, and my co-worker and I installed my first Linux install on that old 486. I'm pretty sure we didn't even install the GUI (storage and/or RAM limitations), but just CLI. We got Apache and an FTP server working on it.
Great, but we only had dial-up at each of our places. But by that time I was helping maintain the ISP side of things. I think I was stuck recabling and cleaning up the 3 racks of gear we had late on a weekend. I snuck the old 486 case in to one of the training office cubes and put it on the floor, wired up power and ethernet, and told the gal there to be quiet about it and it'd help keep her warm (that office had a bad HVAC setup and it was late fall / early winter). So I gave the Linux box ("Artoo") a public static IP connected to the public ISP switch, and that's how things started.
A little bit later one of the senior server and network engineers gave us two sticks of 8mb RAM (we're still broke these days), and we were able to get the server up to 20mb of RAM. I think about then we started running an IRCd and MUD game, payed $70 to register artoo.net (back when NetSol was the only game in town, and you had to pay for 2 years up front at $35/year). We started hosting domains for friends and family... it was an amazing time and we learned a ton.
We were so lucky too. We used plain auth for everything, including just telnet. Our setup was small enough and we were lucky enough that even with no firewall and horrible stock default settings that we never got owned for that first year.
Sometime during that first year the service center assistant manager (no kind words for him) was having problems with his PC. He blamed hardware, said he'd swapped all kinds of stuff out, and still it was flaking out on him. I asked if I could have his old desktop as he'd just gotten a new one from inventory (they build custom beige boxes). He smugly replied, "sure, but it's just going to keep locking up on you."
I don't recall if we just took the hard drive from the old 486 or if we reinstalled, but basically we got our same setup going on that "new" Pentium 166 (32mb of RAM?) and we just kept learning and hosting more and more. This was still on RHL 5 (probably 5.0, but I don't know, and didn't know anything about updating originally).

In California, FFLs charge more for shipped firearms from other dealers vs. PTP, in addition to the DROS fees. Sometimes as high as $100 extra.

Cisco is 100% performance driven. I wonder how much of this is just a variation of rank-based employment evaluation?

UCLA's Cyclops is a great tool to monitor your own IP space and make sure you know immediately when this sort of this occurs.

Can we just enucleate the eyes of offenders? I think it'd stop pretty fast once this punishment was laid down. Worst case, it'd stop repeat offenders.
Don't have to kill them. Enucleation of the eyes would stop this problem for all offenders, and stops repeat offenders.
Found the technical solution, enucleation of the eyes for all offenders. Stops repeat offenders every time.
Sure there is, enucleation of the eyes would stop this problem for all offenders.
