Any management that thinks auditing is an effective way of encouraging good work ethics is insane and grossly inept and should be fired immediately. Any manager that sees low productivity or low morale and thinks the solution is to start snooping on employee activities should give up and become a basket weaver.
I implemented QoS because the wife was complaining about Web surfing and email problems when I was saturating the bandwidth. The complaints have stopped. I guess it's working;-)
Well the submitter has two separate issues: 1. How to get proper bandwdith so he can properly do his consultant job. 2. H0w to k1ck da lam3rz 0ff th3 W1F1 to k1ll da l@g on my W0W gamez.
I'm a consultant and spend a lot of time on public wireless networks at client sites (mostly hospitals / universities)
Get yourself an EVDO cellular modem. You can deduct it as a business expense. And stop trying to disrupt other peoples's connection.
If you have a problem with bandwidth hogs, complain to the WiFi service provider. Don't take the matter into your own hands. You are not the bandwith police, what you are doing is probably illegal.
How unbelievably simplistic it is to "hide" the ISO9660 filesystem behind a broken-on-purpose UDF layer... how long is it going to take the AnyDVD / DVDShrink folks to write in the 'bypass UDF' option ya think?
Push not pull: If automatic withdrawal or credit card billing is optional, do not opt in. If you don't want to deal with manual payment, you can setup your own transaction to send them a payment automatically.
Minimize the liability: If they insist on 'pull' transactions, opt for credit card billing, using an expendable credit card with a very low credit limit i.e. less than $500.
Paper billing: You can't accidentaly lose paper to a drive failure or virus/malware. Tangible stuff with big yellow highlighter that says "PAY ME" is easy to see on a kitchen fridge.

Right there, Just left of the Multicast space. There's a picture of Trogdor, burninating lost packets and thatch-roofed cottages ...
Naah, just kidding. They both deserve a spot in the Clever Hacks Hall of Fame
Ten models isn't exactly shunning either.
There are several models from Nokia which are clamshells, I counted at least 10 models on their website.
What I'm thinking is would the fs laser scorch the surface of the metal properly thereby eliminating the need for an organic dye layer altogether?
Is the "scorched" metal areas stable in the long term i.e. will it fade or spread?

And to top it off, he's a repeat offender:
In fact, Yaffle was exiled to the cornfield for three days for reverse engineering a bit of computer code to steal virtual items from a vendor in Second Life. "The cornfield is not used often, and it is only for white-collar crimes," explains Catherine Smith of Linden Lab, the San Francisco-based company that created and maintains the Second Life site. "It is supposed to be funny more than anything.
Is he going back to the cornfield or is perma-banned?
Is that some kind of lame pun?
No, you can't have a meme.
;_;
Not yours.

I implemented QoS because the wife was complaining about Web surfing and email problems when I was saturating the bandwidth. The complaints have stopped. I guess it's working ;-)
Also... will I ever be able to spell bandwidth properly today?
I answered question 1.
Even a plain jane Linksys router has basic QoS support. I have mine setup to prioritize port 25, 110 and 80.

What kind of TV tuner would you have them install?
Analog NTSC? [...] ATSC? [...] Clear QAM?
Um, all of them?
And why the heck aren't ATSC-available channels not part of BASIC cable?How unbelievably simplistic it is to "hide" the ISO9660 filesystem behind a broken-on-purpose UDF layer... how long is it going to take the AnyDVD / DVDShrink folks to write in the 'bypass UDF' option ya think?
