Back in 2006 when we still had the color coded threat levels, I flew from PHX to LAS and back to PHX during a red/severe period. Because it was a quick day trip I only had a carry on bag and that bag happened to be a backpack I had used the week before to go shooting. In that bag was a full 19 round magazine of 9mm FMJ that I had stuffed into a side pocket and forgotten to remove before the trip. I made it through 2 different airport security lines and xray machines without it being noticed or stopped. I didn't even notice I had left it in there myself until I got home and unpacked. However they damn sure got the bottle of contact lens cleaner I had in the same bag.
I was just looking at the Plex website since I used to use it and this announcement made me curious. It looks like the Plex server can integrate with Alexa if you have Plex Premium.
And unless you took steps to keep them very isolated (different browser, never installed any mobile app that used FB login, never used the pen name account to log in without TOR/VPN, etc) FB has almost certainly linked them together even if you don't think you ever did.
I still use my DVD subscription because with their focus oo much on original content now, a lot of recent releases never make it to Netflix streaming. I'm not paying $6 per movie to rent a recent release when I can get it on Blu Ray if I wait an extra 30-60 days. There is also a much more substantial back catalog of older content and movies that might have once been available via streaming but since dropped out of the library. Also watching the disc doesn't eat up my bandwidth. My disc queue is down to 1/5 of what it was at one point so I may drop down to 1 disc at a time instead of 3 but as long as it remains the fastest and most reliable way to get new releases I'll probably keep it.
I only wish this happened on a faster timeline then it seems to.
If you're not a yes man (or from the previous company of a certain director), you're on the fast track to the unemployment line. I know logically that this will catch up to those playing along and that the company will suffer for it. The problem is that eventually the company will suffer for it.
The good news is that those who've moved or were fired on are MUCH happier in their new positions. Bonuses can't come fast enough.
As a Lotus Notes end user, I vehemently hate the damn piece of crap. It's bar none the worst corporate email client I've ever been subjected to, the web apps developed with it break half the time, assuming they even work in a non IE browser.
I'm easily in the majority of our user base. I've known people to dislike Thunderbird, Outlook Express, Outlook, Pegasus, Eudora, Pine or Mutt, but I've never seen the open hatred for a mail system like I have Lotus Notes.
The only thing you could tell me about Lotus Notes that would excite me is that you're converting me to something else and redeveloping all of the crappy web apps built on it using standard RDBMS and Web interfaces.
NetApp sells a stand alone solution called Virtual File Manager that works on top of DFS, works with just about any SAN or NAS device, creates a global namespace, monitors data age and can move data to tiered storage (HSM, nearline, whatever), includes replication capabilities and best of all if you ever decide to stop using the product the DFS infrastructure it operates/manages will remain in place and remain functional.
We're pretty close to picking this software up ourselves, we may or may not pick up the associated NetApp Filers since we're also evaluating NAS/iSCSI solutions but this software will work with our existing Dell & EMC devices.
The real point is - who decides what you see what is on your screen when you visit a website?
I think the difference here is that most users do not know what Gator does. If the user employs blocking software that's a concious action on their part, whereas the extra ads that Gator displays is most likely taking place without the full knowledge of the user. In other words, I honestly doubt that the user is choosing to display one set of ads/banners/popups/popunders for another.
I fully agree that ultimately the user should choose what is ultimately displayed on their computer, I just don't think Gator falls into a category that includes full disclosure of what it does.
Having just recently gone through one of those "fundamentals of project management" one of the very first things that was drilled into our head was that hiding work hours by 1) not tracking hours and 2) by working excessive hours in a day does nothing to get your project done any faster (200 hours takes 200 hours regardless of whether you do it in 25 days or in 18 days).
Bottom line was that fooling yourself into thinking that making your project teams work longer hours somehow equated faster project completion was a falacy. Quality suffers and you make extra work for the project in the end.
I fully agree with our instructor when he said most managers manage via the magic 8 ball method.
Depends on the OS in question as to the length, but we have a fairly flexible and consistent convention we use at work. For Windows based OSs the length is 11 for legacy and non-windows systems it's 8. You can tell at a quick glance what the OS should be, the type of system and it's location.
Windows based Workstation OS [OSID] + [Machine Type] + [Identifier - 3] + [Location]
Windows based Server OS [OSID] + [Server Status] + [Server Type] + [Identifier - 2] + [Location]
Legacy/Non-Windows Systems [OSID] + [Identifier - 3] + [Location]
Where [OSID] is one of {W95, W98, WNT, W2K, WXP, HP (for HPUX), IB (for IBM OS/390), TD (for Tandem)}
Where [Workstation Type] is one of {LT (for laptops), WS (for desktops)}
Where [Identifier] is any alphanumeric value of length indicated
Where [Server Status] is one of {P (for production), N (for nonproduction), T (for test), D (for development)}
Where [Server Type] is one of (FS {file server}, WW (web server), SQ (SQL), EX (Exchange), PR (Print Server), TS (Terminal Server), etc)
Where [Location] is a 3 character location code (normally closest major airport)
But Coke allegedly paid off most of the companies it sued to lose to help establish stronger case law then they might otherwise have created.
Or as the widow of the president of Cleo-Cola said to Walter Mack (of Pepsi-Cola) "My husband thought he was right too, but they still put him out of business. And I still have a photograph of the check they gave him." After a copy of this check was introduced into the Coke vs Pepsi lawsuit, Coke asked for a 2 day recess and met with Walter and offered to withdraw the suit, which they did.
Um...
The PIX 520 is a P2 350, the case is mostly air. Same mobo and processor in the local directors too.
I'll withhold my opinion of the PIX's abilities as a real(tm) firewall though:)

OneNote was released in 2003 as part of Office 2003. Evernote was released in 2008.

So basically it's an updated Acer Iconia Dual screen or Toshiba Libretto W105? How is that not prior-art?

That would be pets.com. Now the sock hawks car loans.

My S2 Tivos haven't been hooked up to a phone line since the day I bought them.
Before networking was officially supported, there was a dial-prefix string you could use that would enable basic ethernet support via USB.
Now networking is officially supported in later releases and you don't need the dial-prefix, just a network adapter.
Ballpark guess, but it sounds kinda like the tivo series 2/2.5/directv hardware.
Do you have some wierd definition of just works?

So finally in version 7 they're adding something that seems to have been a feature in most other major mail clients since the dawn of time?

WWIV 1.0 was written in basic. later versions were written in Pascal until 4.x when it was ported to C.
WWIV is at least still being actively developed.

Oh, you mean like UNISYS and those nifty GIF patents?
Add to that list the fact that by using 3" disks that Nintendo does not have to pay the DVD CSS License fee, reducing the cost of the games as well.
Try the Phoenix metro area. Seems almost every decent complex around here has at least a T1 (Ether ports in the apartment. Weeee).
I don't smoke for the simple fact that I can't afford to support other people's habits (hey man, can I bum a smoke?)
