actually having the tests and such be done via the Online part is a great convenience for a Teacher sinc eall he has to do is admin the stuff (unlock homework/quizes and such) and then dump the scores into the grade book.
not addressing my point im not saying that connections should be totally unlimited for 19.95 a month im saying that they should sell connections/deploy towers that can provide a reasonable fraction of service THAT THEY ADVERTISED.
If you sell a connection that 50MB and have 20 customers then you should be able to provide that speed for at least 60% of your customers at any given time (so you should have 600MB available at the tower)
Also preloading your phones with 2 dozen "aps" that are mostly ad servers (and are running 24/7/52) is dirty pool.
For Cell Phones (aka Mobile Computing Devices) by Federal Law no "built-in" ap should have any kind of "ad server" component and any Provider Sent Data Packet should not count against any kind of data cap.
So in short either sell us what the real available speed is or don't throttle (past what we paid for).
a Challenge for the CXOs of the Telcos Put Your Bonuses Up or Stop Spouting about how you are Customer Service Focused.
(i wonder how many new towers can be funded by say Verizons CxOs bonuses for the last couple years??)
the big problem is the bit of over subscribing your users. If you have say enough bandwidth to handle 1000 GB in connections then you should not sell 10,000 GB worth of connections and then pull all sorts of tricks to limit folks below what THEY HAVE PAID FOR.
What you should do is limit your connections to say 1500 GB (since you will have folks that do not use the full slot they have purchased) and have some way of asking your High Bandwidth Customers to back down a bit during "prime time" (maybe on your support website??).
You don't have FoodLion selling a dozen eggs and then grabbing 5 eggs at checkout do you??
For 98% of the viewing audience having a house with High Power Electrified Fencing and a pack of Tibetan Mastifs/Wolves in the yard surrounding a Stone House with Blast Doors with internal sector doors would be way to much effort BUT for that 2% it might not be enough.
questions to be asked for FDE
1 Is it better to LOSE the data than have it compromised? 2 How secure are your backups? 3 Are YOU SURE to COURT OF LAW levels your backups are secure and reliable?? 4 Are the keys kept safe?? 5 Can your staff be "DD" hacked?? (mostly applies to Male Staff members but similar hacks will apply otherwise) 6 How good is your FDE solution?? (has it been HACKED YET??) 7 is there a second key that can be used to decrypt?? (or a Master key)
im sure there are other questions but that should be the top 7 questions
and then a Memo is put out requesting that the boxes be placed on Hold (the DM will see this in moments and he will then light up the phone tree to get this to the stores).
1 dupe the exploited weapons and make some sort of small edit to the copies (just enough so you can tell a pre exploit copy from a post exploit copy)
2 in a couple weeks create some sort of Uber Creature (Like the Dresden Files He Who Walks Behind or a Doom II Cyberdemon) and have this creature spawn and stalk anyone using a pre exploit version.
In the future i would think that access to 1 Lorries 2 a couple hundred kilos of explosives 3 blasting caps 4 the other random widgets should be required to make this a Plausible Threat.
I mean come on its not like this is a Known Northern Irishman and actually COULD do anything to the airport.
Its a set of things that would be "proof" 1 the "suspects" own cell Phone 2 was in the right location 3 was IN USE 4 by somebody that sounds a whole lot like the "suspect"
otherwise yah its weak
Now DNA evidence should be considered on HOW LARGE a sample was found.
a flake of skin barely big enough to get a read on= weak 3 pints of Blood, chunk of ear./finger or a part of a tooth = Now we are talking
I have here a %random x86 computer% and i need to get Windows installed on it. How would you go about doing it??
1 If the first question is not in the form of "Are you sure that the box CAN have Windows installed?" *end the interview 2 next question should be "Where are my install discs/driver discs and KeyCards"? (note a great WinGeek will have install discs and some sort of Driver Package) 3 Your WinGeek should also have some way of installing a CURRENTLY PATCHED copy of Windows (slipstreamed install media is best) without using a network connection 4 Also they should be familiar with the automated ways of installing the CURRENT 3rd party runtimes (flash java ect)
*note if your WinGeek has a bootable disc with a Windows Prep Tool this is also a Pass
Don't forget if you hire Rock Stars you also need to hire those Little Mouse types that can scurry around doing all of the little things like fetching a "Cinnamon Soy Latte with extra whip and a dusting of dark Cacao" and a bunch of BLUE peanut M&Ms.
(and yes this might be a Jug of Double strength Merkat Coffee and Bison jerky (Ghost Pepper flavoured) but....)
you have to figure that there should be a considerable magnetic field around these devices so how will this work with say Flash drives credit cards and other "stuff" that does not like being in a above background mag field??
one would think that Tweeting and Still Being Resident on the Mortal Plane would map directly in a If A Then Also B basis but i could see somebody having an ap that AutoTweets when your location changes. But of course if you Check In at Random City Morgue^HForensic Institute then this might not be a good thing.
I would require Blizzard set aside the funds so that if/when the sanctions get lifted they can either process the refunds or reinstate the accounts. Otherwise how much money has Blizzard "gained" by doing this??
or an "easy" way to stop this is to make it a Personal Felony to operate a Financial Service know to be used by any entity for an illegal purpose or to provide services for same. So if you process the CC cards for a Spammer YOU YOURSELF go to Jail and Your Bank can have its staff GO TO JAIL if it continues to provide for you.
So if banks start getting put in the clink this kind of thing gets very expensive very fast (and as an added bonus banks could arrange to get a cut of "seized funds").
and he is of course as the current fashion requires dismissing the huge body of evidence that shows that There Is An Order to things
i would put that the first couple picoseconds of Time are beyond what Science can state as Truth and also show me an entire line of Fossils that show how a Proto-Quadraped became say a Horse (with complete skeletons at each stage).
oh and how is it that we are finding Fossils in ground that should have been washed off the Land surface a half million years ago??
Every Scientist needs to start assuming
In The Beginning [GOD|BANG]
and then go from there.
(oh and some sort of Plasma explosion can in no way shape or form prove that a Big Bang Occurred)
anything that is supposed to be The One True Way rapidly finds out how wide the "edge cases" are.
In pair programming this is found in trying to put Orange/Green Irish programmers in a "pair" (or Jew/Muslim) and also is BAD for programmers that are best setup in a "den" and then have Food/Drink shoved into a slot in the door.
B 1 at your fathers house Dissconnect the Router
2 Wipe the Harddrive and reinstall Windows (you do have a record of the key right??)
3 run the WSUSOFFLINE update installer
4 do whatever other settings fixes you need to (enable Windows defender??)
5 reconnect the Router
6 run Ninite
7 spend the time Ninite is running explaining things to your father
8 Run FireFox and install AdBlock (or do the same to Chrome)
Slashdot Mirror
so let me clear something up for you
1 some folks are actually qualified to teach their children
2 and most of them have a linkup with some sort of Formal School
3 when you are not trying to deal with 35 other kids (3/4 of which are physically/mentally "damaged") you can actually TEACH

So other than Windows Defender Offline what livecds are available that can be updated without downloading a full disc EVERY TIME??
(bonus if you can load the payload onto flash media for systems without a ROM drive and Double Bonus if a single copy can do both 32 and 64 bit)
Why did AV publishers stop doing live install cds??
not addressing my point im not saying that connections should be totally unlimited for 19.95 a month im saying that they should sell connections/deploy towers that can provide a reasonable fraction of service THAT THEY ADVERTISED.

The whole thing can be considered a Nuclear Option by Google.
1 Google is known for Search
2 they have massive datafarms (note the Plural there)
3 Like Everybody can use this
and do you wanna bet that the normal search will provide results for this???
I think a bunch of Paralegals just stood up and yelled AMEN!!

hmm can you actually get enough wattage from a Zinc/Copper Spud cell??
anybody have the numbers on this??
and then a Memo is put out requesting that the boxes be placed on Hold (the DM will see this in moments and he will then light up the phone tree to get this to the stores).
an easy fix for this for ArenaNet
1 dupe the exploited weapons and make some sort of small edit to the copies (just enough so you can tell a pre exploit copy from a post exploit copy)
2 in a couple weeks create some sort of Uber Creature (Like the Dresden Files He Who Walks Behind or a Doom II Cyberdemon) and have this creature spawn and stalk anyone using a pre exploit version.
3 sit back and watch the problem solve itself
In the future i would think that access to 1 Lorries 2 a couple hundred kilos of explosives 3 blasting caps 4 the other random widgets should be required to make this a Plausible Threat.
I mean come on its not like this is a Known Northern Irishman and actually COULD do anything to the airport.
Its a set of things that would be "proof"
1 the "suspects" own cell Phone
2 was in the right location
3 was IN USE
4 by somebody that sounds a whole lot like the "suspect"
otherwise yah its weak
Now DNA evidence should be considered on HOW LARGE a sample was found.
a flake of skin barely big enough to get a read on= weak
3 pints of Blood, chunk of ear./finger or a part of a tooth = Now we are talking
yeah this was dodgy.
try this:
I have here a %random x86 computer% and i need to get Windows installed on it. How would you go about doing it??
1 If the first question is not in the form of "Are you sure that the box CAN have Windows installed?" *end the interview
2 next question should be "Where are my install discs/driver discs and KeyCards"? (note a great WinGeek will have install discs and some sort of Driver Package)
3 Your WinGeek should also have some way of installing a CURRENTLY PATCHED copy of Windows (slipstreamed install media is best) without using a network connection
4 Also they should be familiar with the automated ways of installing the CURRENT 3rd party runtimes (flash java ect)
*note if your WinGeek has a bootable disc with a Windows Prep Tool this is also a Pass
Im surprised that nobody has mentioned that Edward Yourdon has written a book or two about what happens when projects go BAD.
In the situation given the best thing to do is send in a Forensics Team to extract what bits can be transplanted and then START OVER.
Don't forget if you hire Rock Stars you also need to hire those Little Mouse types that can scurry around doing all of the little things like fetching a "Cinnamon Soy Latte with extra whip and a dusting of dark Cacao" and a bunch of BLUE peanut M&Ms.

and as an added bonus it skips installing the "extra" [redacted] for you
you have to figure that there should be a considerable magnetic field around these devices so how will this work with say Flash drives credit cards and other "stuff" that does not like being in a above background mag field??
okay so its not possible to have
1 lean bacon (more red than white)
2 ground lean steak
3 actual Cheddar
4 a Whole Grain/Multigrain Bun
and maybe some lettuce ,tomato and pickles on said burger??
and i think having some chili cheese chips (roasted not fried) would be good.
one would think that Tweeting and Still Being Resident on the Mortal Plane would map directly in a If A Then Also B basis but i could see somebody having an ap that AutoTweets when your location changes. But of course if you Check In at Random City Morgue^HForensic Institute then this might not be a good thing.

easy way to do this
1 filter for Yahoo accounts
2 put "land mine" phrases in your craigslist postings and set filters for those (use maybe 3 different phrases)
so if you sell say Pottery use "Ming Dynasty" "Bull teacup set" and "Dragon Motif" as "landmines"
set your filter for @yahoo.com with "Ming Dynasty" or "Bull teacup set" or "Dragon Motif" to be sent to Spam
in your text warn folks to NOT copy the text of your ad when they reply
or an "easy" way to stop this is to make it a Personal Felony to operate a Financial Service know to be used by any entity for an illegal purpose or to provide services for same. So if you process the CC cards for a Spammer YOU YOURSELF go to Jail and Your Bank can have its staff GO TO JAIL if it continues to provide for you.
