Are they full time? Part time? Contract? Temp? Hellooo.... Odds are the majority are contractors and temp laborers, "disposable" labor. Just wait a couple of years then you'll see the truth behind the numbers as the millions hired suddenly get the axe.
Went to a viewing of Rogue One and they had the volume cranked to 11, it made me miserable as hell. I left the theater with ringing ears and a massive headache.
I could not tell where the action was at due to the muddy imaging of the sound.
TURN IT DOWN PEOPLE!!
I plan to watch Ghost In The Shell and take earplugs along.
That's exactly the point. Those million dollar business accounts will grow legs and walk across the street, something vzw does not want to happen. If vzw insists on maintaining this course, it's vzw's fault, no one else's.
What is vzw going to do about business account holders? The laws known as HIPPA and Sarbanes/Oxley will drop the hammer on vzw's toes for this one. I know of more than a few business accounts that will get terminated once this hits the bricks.
And so will a vzw rep for suggesting this in the first place.
We're talking million-dollar business accounts here folks...
For everyone's sake. Putting unmanned vehicles into orbit with test loads is one thing, but loading up an untested booster with people and then sending them on a field trip round the moon is another.
Remember Apollo 1. Remember Challenger. Remember Columbia. Go fever has a nasty butcher's bill that we pay every time this happens.
I'd like to see SL improve their compatibility with 3D mice, like 3DConnexion's products. Yeah, they are pricey as sin, but they can work in other applications, and in SL actually improves the experience, but not after some seriously high level tweaks done to windows.
The gambling rackets and the real estate biz was tied in so closely together that when LL banned gambling, it took down the other almost immediately. This had a chain reaction in a massive run on the SL virtual banks, forcing one of the four to immediately go under, nearly bringing SL as a whole to it's knees. The valuation on the Linden took nearly 75% off vs the Dollar. You were pretty much looking at a mirror event compared to the Panic of 1819, only the SL Panic was based on prohibition on gambling.
LL got their heads out of their collective asses and restored gambling to a certain point, so they would not crash out altogether.
They have yet to recover back to that level of prosperity, and that was over 10 years ago.
Before they go buying up a titan like Level3, they need to be spending at least 1/4 of that cash in client support and relations. I've heard (and experienced) nothing but bad things about their client support. They have a serious disconnect between the call center level and field tech, making for awful ticket response and lousy on site times.
AT&T had cut a plum deal with Yahoo to provide e-mail services for the telecom giant way back in the early 2000's, which is still in effect to this day.
Do these sound familiar? Google Quanta router security holes. You'll find the issues that the D-Link has are remarkably similar to what the Quanta firmware had.
I could safely guess is that Quanta foisted the firmware and designs off onto D-Link for a small tune so they could recover some of the cost.
BTW, the tech that found the D-Link issues, found the holes in the Quanta routers as well.
But you need a switch with port replication or a system with two NIC's and configured to pass data through it. Set up wireshark on a system and set port replication or route traffic through it. Then set filters in wireshark to monitor your IoT devices by IP or MAC. If you see anything funny, yank its wire and set up a honeypot to tear the thing apart, packet by packet.
It sounds like a lot of work, but if you find nothing or something, then you know that it was well worth the labor.
1. Best Buy. Enough said. 2. Lenovo Yoga's. A joke from the start, marketed towards the masses as "prosumer" systems. Can't do anything about the hardware or the OS; you are locked-in. Same deal with HP and their so - called LaserJet "Pro" series. 3. Trusting MS to do the right thing. Enough said there too.
The FCC and FTC need to be going after the telecoms selling the phone numbers and trunks to them instead. I know CenturyLink is infamous for that, leasing numbers and trunks to them up in Portland with little or no regard for national security or respect for the law. Only then being an accessory to the crime by shielding their identity information from the law.
Yeah, the ILEC's and CLEC's need to be held accountable for that.
One operation based out of Oklahoma City deployed as far south as Corpus Christi. They showed great promise, but oversold their bandwidth and territory, winding up existing from check to check. Then they declared bankruptcy at year 3 when the Dept of Agriculture welshed on their next check, and had to go into bankruptcy. The liquidator's auction for the CDMA licenses looked like sharks in a feeding frenzy; with the telecoms outbidding each other until the licenses wound up selling around 15X-25X their face value.
They were paid on this one as "consultants" and that comes under the auspices of the GAO and the bean-counters that reside there. Everyone in big government is held accountable, ranging from the d-bag EPA rep up in Alaska to the Oval Office desk-polisher. Keep your receipts and anything over a certain amount requires additional approval!

"The King Has No Clothes on!"
I think in the original version the person that made that proclamation was promptly beheaded.
If not, it should at least be mentioned.
Back in the days of Mac OS8, he proclaimed that the MacOS was virus-proof.
Big mistake.
By the end of the week at least a dozen or so viriii were released into the wild and Jobs had to eat humble pie.

You know how nasty they can get with built-in stuff.

We knew that WF was cramming peoples accounts with extra stuff way back when. I'm surprised that no one caught on until this news posting.
Well, I'm glad that the fed caught up with WF and dropped Mr. 2-Pound on the CEO's toes for what they did.

Chew that over and get back with me.

It comes from a beta team member: "No need to create unnecessary fuss about the issue."
Heh, and how much Kool-Aid did you drink pal?

Or any of the other ILEC and CLEC telecoms for that matter...
IMO, they know their cash cows are about to get shot, so they don't want to be near them when it does.
I use an active HOSTS file loaded with all known ad domains and servers, plus ABP.
If you keep that HOSTS file up to date, that may take care of FB's idiocy.
Or any other greedy website for that matter.
PoodleCorp got fleeced!

You know the director will be dragged in on the carpet by congress on the ethics of using hackers at this level.
If they paid them using gov't funds, lets hope they kept track of the funds used.
