  1. Re:Doubt it will ever get made on Joss Whedon To Direct The Avengers · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It is my understanding that as they have signed actors to do the standalone movies (e.g. Iron Man, Captain America, etc...) that the contracts included 2 Avengers movies.

  2. Programming a VCR on Comcast Disables VCR Scheduling In New Guide · · Score: 1

    Related Question: Does anybody reading SlashDot not know how to program a recording on their VCR? I find that hard to believe.

  3. Age Issues on US Not Training Enough Cybersecurity Experts · · Score: 1

    DHS has lots of Cybersecurity job postings.

    Here's the catch:

    If you have spent the last 20years of your post-college professional IT life working in different combinations over time of systems administrator, network engineer, IT project manager, programmer on security, security-ish, and non-security projects and day-to-day IT work, then the you - the 40+ year old - are deemed to be to fucking old to take a new job at DHS/USGOV as as an IT Security Specialist.

    So, that cuts the pool of those available to USGOV by 40-60%.

  4. Offhand... on How To Avoid a Botnet Infection? · · Score: 1

    1) Only Allow web browsing through an http/https/ftp proxy server(s). The proxy server(s) should include anti-botnet blacklist and be logically have a network firewall between it and the internet..

    2) No open direct connections from the internal network to the internet in general by workstations.

    3) Don't allow non-corporate workstations on the Corporate LAN. The corp shoudl have a guest LAN that includes internet access for guest and personal devices of employees.

    4) Corporate workstations must have up-to-date AV to connect to the Corp LAN (force them to the guest network otherwise and issue an alert).

    5) Don't allow users the rights to install software (but have a robust User Tech Support organization that can quickly test and push out ok'd software to workstations).

    6) Have and actually monitor logs from egress filters on the network firewalls.

  5. Re:Only as much as you need on Project Management For Beginners? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Right. Being a good project manager is NOT about being good at MS Project and other PM tools. Being a good PM is about being a good communicator and a good organizer (including for contingencies). Being a good PM is about getting people to do what you want and need without having direct authority over them. Bing a PM means having responsibility but only some authority.

  6. DangerBoy on Sci-Fi Books For Pre-Teens? · · Score: 1

    How about DangerBoy and its sequels?

  7. Check Your Eyes... on Best Color Scheme For Coding, Easiest On the Eyes? · · Score: 1

    ...as you get older they change. You may very well need correction for reading.Even if it is slight that will effect monitor viewing. When I reached a certain age it happened to me.

  8. Re:Easy answer... on Creating an IS Department? · · Score: 1

    This is the best post here. Use financial justication. If you justify it with Money, everthing else because just details.

  9. word choice on Interview with a Spampire · · Score: 1

    The word "stooges" should have been substituted with "criminal co-conspirators".

  10. Yes. on If Mac OS X Came to x86, Would You Switch? · · Score: 1

    Yes I would. Why? Great biz interface when I am in that mode; and unix when I am in that mode.

  11. The Swiss system on An Analysis of Various Election Methods · · Score: 1
    The Swiss executive branch Federal Council consists of the heads of the executive departments.

    Swiss citizens do not elect the Counselors. They are appointed (or elected) by the national legislature called the Federal Assembly. The Counselors hold a four-year term.

    The Prez and VP positions are rotated through the counselors for 1-year terms. I think the order of rotation is fixed and known in advance.

    The political parties have worked out a formula and agreement on how divvy up which part gets how many positions. This agreement has been in effect for about 50 years. Recently there has been some grumbling on changing that, but I am not sure how that has played out.

  12. Foreign Policy Question on Ask Green Party Presidential Candidate David Cobb · · Score: 2

    As president, what will your foreign policy grand strategy be?

  19. Human Resources on MS Hires The Salesman Who Won Munich For SUSE · · Score: 1

    ...just be wildly successful at your current job and Microsoft will come recruit you

    That is an excellent Human Resources strategy for any company.

  20. wasted time & money on ICANN to Incorporate TLDs Already In-use? · · Score: 1

    The other non-ICANN orgs are essentially selling property deeds for land on the moon or mars. Something that will be ignored by others. The folks who went to YOUCANN (or whatever they are called) wasted their money and time.

  21. Science Fiction example on Pentagon Lets You Bid on Terrorism? · · Score: 1

    The Science Novel "Earthweb" by Marc Stiegler, gives a pretty good example of how an Ideas Futures Market could work. It includes not just betting, but prizes, feedback, and histories (think accuracy karma).

  22. EU on ICANN Stacks Board with Non-Critical Appointees · · Score: 0, Troll
    ICANN is an interesting study in how a ruling regime can usurp a democratic institution and turn it into an autarchy.

    Think of it as a preview of how the EU will work under their forthcoming constitution.

  25. Alternative on Google To Create "Blog" Search; Potentially Remove From Main · · Score: 1
    when you search for information, would you want to search 2 different locations?

    Perhaps, a simple solution would be for a "Include Blogs" checkbox next to or underneath the the goolge search box. Also, you should be able to set you google prefs to have it checked/un-checked by default.
