  8. Re:Proof of concept? on Selling Management on the Hazards of Not Using HTTPS? · · Score: 1

    As Unknown Poltroon write, get it in writing first.

    Then a Proof of Concept works great. A Friend of mine demonstrated an open SMTP server running at his company. He sent mails from god@heaven, and from boss@company.com telling the manager that he deserved a raise.

    That server was off in no time.

  20. Ohh yes, only imagine on Microsoft To Make Wireless Networking Hardware · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You will get a Clippy with every router, proposing you like "I notice that you are trying to add v.w.x.y, shall I also add a.b.c.d for you?". You answer no, but somehow, the configuration seems to be changed, but you cannot exactly see how...

    Also, you will get switches that you only edit via switchedit, a regedit decendant.

    Plus of course, all the bugs you can eat, as usual ...

    Of course, don't forget to add some 64 Mb of memory in your switch. Errm, yes that is per port, of course...

    And in addition to that, if you don't pay your license fees, your routers will cease to function after exactly one year!

    But wait, there is more! You can run a wordprocessor from your switches (upgrade required), and we even provided some games free of charge.

    Thanks, but no thanks - I'll stay with Cisco...

  25. Re:Stokke on Painless Chairs? · · Score: 1

    Totally agree - I have a Stokke Variable as well. With a normal chair I could make it barely through the day, now I have no problem. The thing is that when sitting on this type of chairs, your spine is completely vertical (in the same position as when you are standing up), being a much more natural position compared to the C shape your spine becomes in an ordinary chair.
