I've found the best thing is to teach everyone a bit of #l34tsp$^k. A few simple cyphers, write out a "codebook" on one sticky and the actual word itself somewhere else nearby. Sure, maybe you have to look at two different things, but unless your workplace is being directly burglarized...and if that's happened then this conversation is moot LOL. We're just forced to change passwords all the time per corporate security policy, and if you kept leaving some password list out in the open on your desk a few times you'd probably eventually get fired...but if you did that then your too stupid to be working there anyway haha.
At my job, I have three different VPN tokens, and at one time had at least 30 different passwords all over the globe I had to use...ours forces changes at various times, some are 30 days, some 90, some never...depending on the system. RSA admin software had a PIN too. We usually just keep it all in a spreadsheet. If you can't remember a single password...but you also need the Active ID token too. We potentially have deep access into the air line reservation system, although that system is so insanely complicated and cross-platform good luck finding anything of worth haha.
It's kinda backwards in a way. Retail is always a huge target, the bigger the company the bigger the score. From a security design viewpoint, the "backend" and the "financial" systems should have been physically separated at all times, using some encrypted EDI to exchange whatever (inventory, overstock, per piece price, etc). The credit card terminals should have been "payment only" and not loaded down with all their SHIT like "cash back?" "cure cancer?" "are you sure?" "join our rewards / store card" and wtf other messages I have to tap on your stupid touchscreen a million times just to pay you. Some of them even have ads on them.
Soon, Walgreens, CVS, Dollar whoever...the more sophisticated we make these terminals where our card touches their system, the more exploitable they will become. It's the slow feature creep, the "we need to upload new ad images at 2:50AM" by developers in a far-off land...pushed forward by managers who just want "shiney bright things" that make us give up even more information, waste our time more, and provide little real actual benefit.
LOL. I've been doing the same thing...broke out an old textbook with logical fallacies in it, and I have been listing the same kinds of posts pointing out the exact logical errors on people.
like this? There's many other such instances of various companies doing exactly that. Personally, I feel that if the RIAA/ MPAA really wanted to fight their cyberbattle, they should be deploying fake torrents with system-wiping malware. Let's just go 100% shadowrun...MPAA can hire some runners in some "other nation" to build software that erases.avi,.mp*, erases your TCP/IP stack, then hoses your MBR on the HD. Within a month or so, they should see a serious drop in piracy. At the moment that is illegal, but they will never will such asynchronous warfare via the courts against downloaders (which I am one of).
The main reason I am a downloader instead of cable is I despise commercials. I don't dislike the idea of knowing about new products, but the manipulations of emotions on such a wide scale, with no regards to the affects of said manipulations have on our cultural psyche, just to get me to buy stuff...that's OK, I'd rather have an 1-2 hour delay in my watching and enjoy it without commercials. If there was a legal way to pay per-episode and just easily get my,AVIs, I would as long as I didn't have to install some more special software. HEY HBO, GIVE ME MAGNET LINKS FOR.AVI's AND I'LL PAY YOU.
I just saw a documentary with a cat raising ducklings...the cat found them RIGHT after she gave birth, still pumping oxytocin. The funniest part was watching the momma cat trying to drag the ducklings back to her when they kept trying to climb into the cat's water bowl...
after reading the actual game manual itself, I think the Secret Service (not FBI) went ballistic over the detailed descriptions of phreak boxes. There was enough info there for someone who didn't know such devices existed to be "hey wait, this is a real thing..." and try to build one. There was also enough info to tell people where to look for said plans on bulletin boards, and how the tech behind it all worked.
From our viewpoint it's just ridiculous. However, from a conspiracy-crazy early 90's law enforcement, such a book being published as a "game manual" and being directed at the very people who could, would, and did build boxen just because of this book...This book was used by teenage and early adult guys, who where educated and anti-social (thus the playing of RPG's) and the government knew it would take little effort to go from SJ's book to a working device able to manipulate our pre-digital telephone network.
Please, before anyone gets mad about the "anti-social" comment, this is from the perspective of law enforcement. They are mostly sports, outdoor, alpha-style chimps...not the kind who "play games" inside that are based on "imagination". The late 80's where full of maniac press reports of crazy "Satanic cults" and DnD, so authorities took a very dim view of RPGs.
oh yeah, NERC. Man, the last place I worked violated NERC policy multiple times every day. I was contracted to do tech support for National Grid, NG never gave me the accesses I needed...my manager just gave me a list of other's logins and password. Stuff like mainframes, RSA console, AD via netIQ...I told them repeatedly that we could get in deep trouble, every time I'd mention this they would just tell me "submit this form". After the 13th time I had submitted it, I raised a bit of a fuss, and was fired within a month.
I've been trying to tell people this for years now. Mujahedin? The CIA armed them. Benghazi? Classic CIA fubar. "Edge of the knife" my ass...the only thing the CIA is really good at is eventually getting that knife to slice our own throats. Three CIA directors in one year? No wonder their operatives where able to run rampant in the ME.
If we knew the "true facts" about Syria, it would probably show how the CIA egged on the rebels there, gave them the weapons they where rounding up after the "regime change", and had "Special Activities Division" teams on the ground there. I wouldn't be surprised if some CIA agent was involved in the chemical attacks somehow, probably by accidentally giving some old Russian chemical rounds to the wrong people or having them hijacked like what happened to the weapons used against The Annex.
It's funny when talking to contract programmers from IBM, because at all my IT jobs I actually paid a bit of attention to all the different regions my co-workers where from, and often could have a bit of small-talk about what ever region they where from while I waited for whatever citrix app to load to do whatever for them; the way attitudes towards me changed instantly. Mentioning some area nearby that's getting flooded, or some strange new animal found nearby, and many of them went from "just do xyz stupid American" to some rather interesting exchanges. The calls would usually start coming in around 8-9 pm CST.
But I can totally understand their frustrations at times. Trying to explain to an IBM contractor who is trying to get Office 2013 installed on our mutual client's laptops was painful, as our client only had up to 2010 available to push out via AD...and to get a newer version required a completely different company's contractor to install it locally on the asset however since he was in India and all the techs in the US...at one point I asked "don't you have an MSDN subcription to just install it yourself?" but since our client is a "regulated" industry even that was a no-go...and by the time he was "at work" all the "techs" where mostly gone anyway haha.
Actually, she probably will receive any cash benefits. If the doner makes enough, they will also make him carry medical insurance so the state can bill it instead of just paying all the child's future uncovered expenses. ^K is about the right amount for a pregnancy in Kansas
that's how much it probably cost for the delivery of the baby. If they had no coverage, the charge reverts back to the state usually, especially for anyone who is currently receiving any state-sponsored aid. So then the state gets involved as they cannot, with current law, assign child-support to anyone but the "father". The way the law sees it, somone else other than the mother HAS to hold partial responsibility, except for in specific cases where the father has legally, and via a court, had his parental rights removed.
Especially since this is in Kansas...until the Supreme Court forces them to, this state will not do anything that might give any legal framework involving lesbians. I highly doubt that the Kansas DHS will start recognizing any DOMA-like relationships concerning child support.
His only real legal recourse is to pay the state and then turn around and sue the other two parties, and especially anyone who legally "advised" them that this is legal.
I second TeamViewer, it's the only product I found to punch through all my former work-sites firewalls without issue. I got VNC to bring up a java window in a browser, but the connection would just time out. Once I'm inside my home network, I use VNC from there to reach the other internal systems.
Hitler does influence my mistrust of crappy artists...I'm always now suspecting any failed artists will attempt to implement a world-wide genocidal fascist regime!
I'm in Tulsa, ok - so I live under the buckle of the Bible belt. I've gotten "in trouble" at corps from these tiny icons that show skin, for some reason the people walking by my cube being nosy claimed "it looked like they where naked" from a 1 inch pic as they quickly glanced over. Very annoying, but some of us have to be careful for certain things...totally insane but my only solution is to move out of the state.
I have, but my theory was mashed Twinkies tasted better in butterscotch pudding. After my experimentation resulting in a tasty combo - my proof WAS in the pudding. Science never tasted so good...
so maybe car insurance companies could have a "1000 Mile March discount"v if you take your teen on a forced 1000 mile drive. 500 miles out, get a hotel room, 500 miles back. DONE
I keep telling people the Bengahzi issue is the CIA's fault, out of control once again and not paying attention. Sucks for Obama was in office when it blew, the CIA has a long history of screw-up completely independent of whomever is in office.
the averages dictate that for every smart person you would get an equally stupid one. Yet if they had no real powers anyway, it wouldn't matter. For a real random 4th branch, a phone book is probably a bad idea, but IRS records aren't. With the right demographic algorithm, a computer could say how many people per state, county, whatever, choose it on demographic randoms...
Another issue it the limited capacity of large dishes capable of communicating with these distant sats. The Deep Space Network is showing it's age, not doing required maintenance, and only has three locations across the planet and limited bandwidth. This isn't like communicating even with e geosync sat but WAY further out. I doubt Mars One is capable of building their own DSN, but I could see them tossing NASA some money to fix up the current DSN to support their colony.
I think either they would be fueled by either solar or atomic, like Voyagers. I would design the sats with external fuel tanks of some sort that could be robotically detached and replaced by a drone that just travels slowly back and forth, using some ion-style drive.
I work for HP, God help them if their forced to use our ticketing system...someone could easily die while your tech is fighting with it trying to find something in it's knowledge management system. Everyone who if forced to use it hates it, it's built with Java and does it's own "tabs", the back button crashes it, no undo, no right-click new tab, 20-40 seconds per page load, search results are often different than what's on the actual page...
The best part is how my managers get mad because our phone calls are too long, then they get mad at us because I timed the pages and showed 20% of the time is spent fighting with the ticketing software. After a caller hung up on me because I spent 25 minutes fighting with it, then my lead getting "annoyed" at me because I was "ranting" in our internal chat...I even went to the level of going outside my management chain trying to fix it, only to get to the point where they basically refused to reveal who our admins are on the system so even the troubleshooting I had found was useless.
