    Trying to decide whether or not I am surprised that someone carrying so much gear would not include condoms.

    A war usually solves that issue.

    Isn't Iran hiding some crypto of math construction?

  9. 2 cheap external hard drives. Use Acronis (or if you are lucky enough to have a copy of Norton Ghost) or other cloner to clone your entire hard drive including operating system to one or the other external overnight, keep the other drive in your car and swap out every day. Use a password/encryption to safeguard your data in case you lose one.

    Simple, cheap, I've got this solution running in every dental or medical office I support. It not only saves their data in case of disaster, but also in case of ransomware or other serious infection.

    Just so I have this straight in my head: you support multiple dental/medical offices, and every day, you drive to each office, clone their drives, and keep a copy in your car. I'm pretty much just repeating exactly what you said. Is that correct?

  17. VCP on Ask Slashdot: Are Any Certifications Worth Going For? · · Score: 1

    If you use VMware at all in your shop, push your boss to pay for your training and certs at least up to and including VCP. Without demonstrable knowledge and skill in virtualized environment administration, you will find it exceedingly difficult to find another job anywhere. The trouble is that the VCP is ridiculously expensive - so have your company pay for it. If you don't use VMware, then at least get yourself a VCA - that, you will be able to afford yourself. But shoot for the VCP.

  18. Re:I'd be curious about the consequences. on North Korea Denies Involvement In "Righteous" Sony Hack · · Score: 5, Insightful

    A nation literally cannot attack a multi-national company in the way these attacks have happened. That's because these attacks now include physical threats against the citizens of other nation states. Those threats make no sense coming from a nation state, and just about have to be from some third party if North Korea is involved in even the 'cyber' part of the attacks. That's because the nation doesn't want to find itself in a war with other nation states and not just the corporation, or to get boxed in by making a threat they don't intend to follow through on and lose face. Bluffs are for when you are already desperately losing, not beginning.

    We're talking about North Korea. They are not bound by the rules of what a nation state "can" and "cannot" do. I agree, this would make no sense, but again... North Korea.

    I like people well enough, but I'm a Morlock, not an Eloi. I want to get things done, not gab with your about the brats you spawned to replace yourself.

    Right on, man! (or woman!). I like your personality type. I think it adds to the cultural diversity of a workplace. Many places I've worked have had the person who "tells it like it is", and mostly, unless they're overtly hostile, people appreciate someone like you and learn to get along. "That Bruce is such a grump." "I know - I showed him a picture of my kid and he said 'I don't care about your kid'. He's such a character!" Seriously, a team comprised of diverse personalities may even be more productive than a team of people who all just want to show eachother pictures of their kids all the time. Be productive and don't rock the boat - don't be someone you're not.

    802.11ac does not mean "1 Gb/s". Clients are only required to receive 1 spatial stream. This is the case with every smartphone I know of, including the iPhone 6, which does a theoretical 433 Mb/s.

  25. Re:too much multi pathing at that frequency on Gigabit Cellular Networks Could Happen, With 24GHz Spectrum · · Score: 0

    There is no kind of antenna nor any RF signal that is improved by multipath. What MIMO antennas are supposed to do is reduce the detrimental effects of multipath fading.

    That is incorrect. MIMO relies on multipath to be able to effectively process spatially multiplexed data streams. Think about it - if the signals from independent streams all arrived simultaneously, they would cancel each other. Man, this is basic, basic stuff.
