  1. Re:Cost on Network Penetration Scans and Executive Reaction? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Hire a risk analyst to come in and look at the security report and then attach numbers to all the security issues and what those security issues could potentially lead to...

    Then you can hire another consultant to analyze the risk analyst's analysis to see how much it should cost you to clean those things up.

    Then you'll have to hire some technical writers or some such to write up what you've done.

    Like, duh! :)

    (you'd think I were a consultant still! But no, I'm not anymore!)

  4. disable it on Passport Chip Could Attract High-Tech Muggers · · Score: 1

    A simple 3 seconds in the microwave on 'high' should do it, I think. If not that, take a nice anti-stat bag, pack it in there, nobody reads it.

    Besides all this, it assumes the chips would actually work. When they start failing at 10 - 20% of the time, then the security the will have been used for is a moot point, since the people screening those documents will get used to it, just waving people through. So this level of security will just be useless if there are decent amounts of errors.

    So, power up the microwave kids! It ain't just for CD's and hamsters any more!

    It's completely unwatchable. 40 seconds of sound, one frame. another 40 seconds, one more frame. Useless.

    and recent decisions (over the last 12 months) have paved the way for the ILEC's to start pulling out the rug from the CLEC's. It'll be in court for a while, but it's possible it could happen. At the least, things could get real expensive real quick for some companies...

    A followup, that torrent link works fine from work.

    Thanks for the torrent.

    I know I've picked up torrents before from home, but if my ISP broke something on me (which they do periodically) I haven't yet figured out, that could be the cause. Thanks for sharing anyway.
