If you're going to stay on the Management track, an MBA is probably worth more than any cert. Although a PMP Cert is also pretty well respected these days, both by HR and by Management types.
Ever heard of "Malicious Number Porting"? Who needs to intercept SMS when your telco will do it for you?
SMS provides poor security...
GrpA
At which point, none of your phone calls or SMS come thru, so you know that the device is compromised. And the attacker STILL needs the first-factor to pair with the SMS, and to have a way to trigger the security key SMS to come thru during the brief window between when the port happens and before it is noticed.
If anyone is that dedicated to hacking you, then they're going to get your data no matter what. (And if your data really REALLY is that valuable, then you'll be protecting it with something a hell of a lot more secure than this anyway....)
Damn, that's a useful device! Amazon carries this one and the slightly smaller QE4531 if you want faster shipping than the month wait on SentrySafe's website.
I know I probably lose geek points, but after fighting with interference on wireless phones (2.4 and 5 ghz) or headsets that don't go loud enough, I went out to Walmart, bought the cheapest POTS phone I could find that didn't have an answering machine in it. Then I bought a 50-foot handset cord, and tie-wrapped it to the side of my network rack. Yeah, I can't make it to rack # 15, but for casual "read me the diag lights" calls to vendors, works pretty good.
Exactly what do you mean by "offload processing"? Could you actually make the 1541 drive execute code or perform calculations? Or by "offload processing" do you mean you could tell it to read or write a file and it would do it without consuming C64 processor time?
Yes, the 1541 had a 6502 micro and some RAM in there. You really could make the 1541 do it's own processing. Some disk copier programs could even load themselves resident on the disk drives (if you had a pair of them) and then you could disconnect them from your computer and shut the computer off, and the drives could still make copies.
No, my point is that you're only paying the 25% bracket on about half your income. We have a graduated tax system in the US. You don't pay 25% on the whole 70k. You pay 25% on 70k - 30,650.
The millionaire pays 35% on everything above $336,550, or about 2/3 of his whole nut. He also pays 33% on anything between $154,800 and $336,550 and so on down the line. He's paying a hell of a lot more than you, percent for percent.
Not to mention the fact that his percents are much bigger than your percents. And as the other guy who replied to me points out (which was the GGP's original point) the top 90% pays over 2/3 of all taxes in this country.
No, I hear ya on the complaints. I bought it about 18 months ago when the $150 price tag wasn't as outrageous. It does work really well. Yeah, the 128 meg thing kinda sucks, but that's still a few hours of music, enough that in a given workout you're not hearing the same song over and over. But you do have to download new songs to it a lot or you get bored. The bone-phones seem pretty rugged, though I imagine if you do break them you're SOL.
I ordered my pair from Amazon, the link I posted was just the first thing that came up in Google. I'm sure you can do better on the pricing by digging around.
I found some waterproof cases for MP3 players when I last looked, but many of them were either really kludgy looking and/or only worked on one very specific player. And most of them had no ability to expose the buttons, so you couldn't stop play or skip tracks while swimming. Trying to buy stand-alone underwater headphones was a similar exercise in futility at the time, though I haven't bothered looking since I got the SwimP3.
YMMV, but if you can find someone that has one, borrow it and see if you like it.
I even got some tech to make it more interesting, I have optical goggles and am pondering how to make a waterproof mp3 player.
What you want is a Swimp3. Link It uses bone conduction, so you don't have to worry about the problems that a lot of "waterproof headphones" have with pressure buildup.
Ok, who the F hacked the LA Theatre Works site and put that goatse image up there??? I thought when slashcode got changed to show the URL I'd never have to see that horrible thing again!!
Only companies that actively trade in securities (IE: brokerage firms) are bound by this SEC rule. Regular corporations (public or private) don't have to keep mail around unless they are part of active litigation. Read and understand what you link to!
The first thing is fire the employee and make it known that this person was FIRED for IP theft. Also prosecuting this person to the full extent of the law will also send a message to other staff.
The problem is, THERE ARE NO IP LAWS IN INDIA! Let me say that again... THERE ARE NO IP LAWS IN INDIA! You can't prosecute the person, because according to Indian law (where the poster is located) this is not illegal. Definitely something management should think of (but sadly, doesn't) when outsourcing...
This whole "only runs on supported platform A" argument is ludicrous; if RedHat can build a system that will run Oracle, then.. so can any competent system administrator.
Try calling Oracle for support. If you're not running RHEL or SEL they won't talk to you. I don't care how "competent" you are, or how good your hand-rolled distro is. Once Oracle finds out you're not running on a version they have certified, they will not support you.
Don't run Oracle? Replace Oracle with WebLogic, DB2, WebSphere, OAS, SAP... If you run ANY big-name commercial software, you have to suck it up and run on a supported platform.
I used to be the webmaster for a fairly popular (in our particular niche) website with an online store. I got pissed off when I started seeing people putting things up on eBay with IMG tags pointing at our server. So I did what many of you have suggested, set up a mod_rewrite rule that if the referrer was not blank and not our site, it substituted a "Copyright Violation" JPG file (The bosses probably wouldn't approve of Tubgirl or the Goatse guy). I had to discontinue this within a week because a fairly popular BSD router software (can't remember which one, sorry) used to include the IP address of the router in the REFERRER field, and so quite a number of legitimate viewers were getting "Copyright Violation" images in place of ALL the pictures on our site. And the worst thing was, it used the PUBLIC IP in the REFERRER field instead of the private NAT address, so I couldn't even add an exception for NAT space to fix it... After spending another two weeks looking around, I just started banning sites one at a time (eBay...) from being in the REFERRER field and keeping an eye on my logs. PITA, I know...
That was a few years ago, perhaps this is a non-issue now. But keep in mind that people running braindead routers or webcaches might inadvertantly trigger your rule and get pissed. If you're just a hobby site, no big deal, I guess. But if you're making money off the site (online stores and the like) you risk losing business over it.

Keep in mind, most of the US carriers block SIP over their LTE hotspots. So if you're depending on this for voice, you're going to have problems.

A few other places make similar products. Blocks the data pins and just leaves the charging pins bare.

Buzzzz! Thanks for playing! But you just proved that you DON'T understand how taxes work.
If you make $70k, you will pay $11,865 to the fed in taxes.
If one makes $1M, one will pay $323,250.50 to the fed, which is $311,385.50 more, or 2624.5% more than you!

That's because signatures DON'T GO TO MASTER CARD! Merchants only have to provide signature sheets in the event of a chargeback.
