Totally...the only time I ever used an ISP email was because AT&T's cunsumer self-service DSL forced me to. Now that I'm on Business DSL, I've never used them. This person should go buy a domain, and then spend $5-$20 a year to have their own email addresses!
Personally, I'm looking forward to my work changing domains. We're loosing the hp.com and going to hpe.com...right now I have a VERY common four letter word @hp.com, which also happens to be the old email of some Director of HR...so I get tons of "spam" like HR conferences across the planet, staffing companies sending me their marketing crap, and some VERY EXPENSIVE Hong Kong tailors...the ones who have a "sale price" of $800 on a suit.
She's got a clothing line through Walmart, her music isn't her only current business "venture"...Many of her fan base still buy physical CDs, and her constant royalties from radio play isn't small either. And huge packed stadiums too...
To channel Dave Chappelle...she's RICH bitches! Both of these services are just a drop in her profit stream bucket. The radio play royalties alone are probably magnitudes more than Spotify or iTunes ever made her in $$$. Much of her target market still use CDs, her own clothing line, make-up, and stuff I don't even know about. When her new album hits the shelves of Walmart is when she gets paid, not iTunes. Most artists dream of having the marketing / product system she has set up at this moment.
seems to be exactly what their doing anyway. Their just hoping making it a "free trial" with a limited time period keeps it legal enough to not be successfully sued. It's along the same lines as Jeb Bush going for months as a Presidential candidate but refusing to officially announce so he could keep working directly with his superPACs. If either continued this behavior it's illegal but since they stop it right before they would actually break the law...
Apple will tie this into their normal AppleID system. You could put 50 credit cards on it, it will be three free months per AppleID account. If you want to game it to get three months of free streaming music...good luck there. It's not just web form, AppleID also ties in the devices too. Your "new ID" for that "free streaming music" won't have access to your regular Itunes, messages, cloud storage, installed apps, etc. You'll have to log out of your regular account and sign into your new one. If you screw it up, you might even loose access to your Apple device itself.
Whomever is suggesting this as a course of action must not have any experience with the Walled Garden. I don't actually use Apple products personally, but I've been forced to support them for several years at work. The best / funniest support was a woman freaking out that her boyfriend had "hacked her phone", not realizing that everyone using the same ID across multiple devices will have access to everything like that. It's a feature of the OS...the Apple support chick and I laughed about it for awhile before she took over the client to help them "separate" it all into their own accounts, or maybe get some relationship counseling, I don't know lol.
reading this gives me a bad feeling that my night might suck. My job is intimately involved with multiple airlines, real-time systems, mainframes, etc. So I'm sitting on top of a network that might actually be affected. I haven't heard a peep of this from my management either...I doubt they even realize this is going on or that it may impact us.
I would think that DSL wouldn't be subsidized, since it no longer satisfies the "broadband" criteria? If so GOOD, AT&T doesn't deserve any more federal money for their ancient DSL crap.
I think it all stems from Wheeler's past work at start-ups that got royally screwed by telecos. I don't know the particulars, but he's mentioned it in a few interviews. He's got a personal stake in this, "this time it's personal" lol. Whatever it takes, IMHO.
Luckily, I was the opposite of that when I was an AT&T CSR. One month I was the highest "refund amount" CSR in the entire company...in January 2011 I returned over $17,000 to AT&T customers mostly by refunding activation fees the stores lied to customers about. I got audited too, but I stayed under the $250 limit we had...I just had a ton of calls post-Christmas. I give props to the SLC Punk movie ending, "attacking from the inside".
That is a pretty decent app. In an odd note, I did a search for ServiceNow Vitalize, and found a login portal for a large client I used to support...I should tell the manager of the Bristol Meyer Squibb desk it was so easily found, but I don't care anymore. https://smusfedath.bms.com/sit...
but I would advise against something like HP's Service Manager Asset Manager software. It's over-the-top complex, runs slow, and is really expensive. I doubt you need some ITIL compliant application, running in java in your browser. Being forced to "eat your own dogfood" is painful hahaha
Since I think you know more about this than me, do you think any of these would work very well on my Samsung Q1? Too bad my MSDN sub doesn't have Embedded "Automotive"...I'm in the process of installing the Q1 in my Jeep and that sounds interesting. I guess I'll have to read over their HALs...
I love virtualization. Saves so much time and money. My job uses ESx, my home lab I have used HyperV mostly because work gives an MSDN account. VMware's 60 trial day limit has kept me from doing much with it at home outside of a base install, I've not found a similar "program" on their site.
Your setup sounds "good enough" to not get flagged by automated bots...which IMHO is all most non-huge companies really need. Offsite backups of HR and accounting info just in case something does actually happen...but as long as your company doesn't piss someone off (like Sony vs NK lol!) there are far juicer targets...like the recent US federal employee background check server! I cringe at wondering what their setup is like. We have "issues" with the TSA doing unscheduled database maintenance on the "no fly list" all the time, so I'm sure the ITSEC there was top-notch a decade ago.
Slightly unrelated, I think the NSA might win some brownie points by running pentests against federal servers and presenting their finding to help secure this infrastructure. They have the tools to find whatever vulnerabilities are present.
Canadians are pretty friendly until their having maple syrup withdrawals. My grandma was a "permanent alien" from Canada...sometimes late at night she would get that "thousand litre stare" and tell us about the havoc Canadian maple syrup caused amongst the population.
This has nothing to do with it. It's because of Canadian's massive syrup addiction...it keeps them far too hyperactive to focus on anything above the Province level.
You sure sound like you work for the FBI, or some other law enforcement agency. You fail to recognize that the lack of transparency is the problem, we have no proof because the whole program is "secret". Your logic is because we don't know, we should just ignore it and let it happen? Or are you just a collaborator?

A huge chunk of this is from Oklahoma, where vendors have been using looser tribal laws to sign people up without proper (or any) verification.

I worked for a bit for AT&T, but I also did over $17K in customer refunds in a single month...

most casino machines also run Windows...but I'm still waiting for a criminal group to get inside those networks and force some payouts...

but even most headless computers still have an onboard pizo speaker, which could play some alarm buzzes to help track it down.

don't forget to add the tech support for your million dollar software...who are Wipro / IBM contractors 5000+ miles away.

I've heard it was his encounter with aliens that made him a Republican.

Watergate? Nah, half the nation hasn't "trusted" the feds since the Civil War.
It's Air America II, the Domestic version.
If the defense can prove parallel construction, then you've fucked up somewhere.
