  1. Re:You don't need a CMS on Ask Slashdot: Open Source For Bill and Document Management? · · Score: 1

    Thanks for this. This is definitely a workflow I need to model.

  2. Re:iDocument on Ask Slashdot: Open Source For Bill and Document Management? · · Score: 1

    Thanks for this. It's pretty damned close to what I want, the sole exception being that it's not open source and not cross platform. I might go in on it anyway if I can't find something better.

  3. Re:muddle headed post on Ask Slashdot: Open Source For Bill and Document Management? · · Score: 2

    You are correct. I meant to keep only the things I need originals of: birth certificate, car titles, etc.

    As for physical space, I have better things than documents to store in my available basement space: wine, beer, computers, etc.

  4. Re:My Workflow on Ask Slashdot: Open Source For Bill and Document Management? · · Score: 1

    That's actually a good feature I'd not considered. As a document is added to the system, sign it using PGP and store the signature. That way, I have reasonable certainty that the document has not been modified since initial ingestion, or at least a warning that it may have been compromised if the signature doesn't check out.

  5. Re:My Workflow on Ask Slashdot: Open Source For Bill and Document Management? · · Score: 1

    OP here.

    These features you list are examples of what I desire in a package that manages documents. I'm not as concerned with OCR, but that'd be a nice feature to have for the lengthier letters and such.

  6. Re:I just thought of something on Ask Slashdot: Open Source For Bill and Document Management? · · Score: 2

    I'm concerned with privacy of backing up to Gmail, even if its labeling is completely what I'm looking for. I suppose I could encrypt everything I send and base its subject on something I can read and label, but that's a lot of rigmarole for something that I really would rather keep locally or on my own backed-up network.

    I think SW:TOR is a BioWare thing, with LucasArts just owning the IP.

  11. WPA2-Enterprise on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With an Advanced Wi-Fi Leech? · · Score: 3, Informative

    * Use enterprise auth to a RADIUS server with an LDAP backend?
    * Lower the transmit power to something that just works within your place?
    * Use just A or just B or just N? Maybe they're on older tech?
    * Configure your router not to well, route. Use it as just an AP and you have to manually set the IP info on your machines, and the router is not *.*.*.1 on the network.
    * Do the above, but use an external VPN for all of your traffic. A static route in the router gets you onto the VPN.
    * Change your SSID to something threatening to indicate that you're onto them and that you asked Slashdot how to make them stop?

  12. 66 weeks in Afghanistan on Nationwide Google Fiber Deployment Would Cost $140 Billion · · Score: 4, Interesting

    $140 billion is 66 weeks in Afghanistan, according to costofwar.com.

    rate = 3.51199622774 #per ms
    fiber = 140000000000
    day = rate * 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24
    fiber / day
      => 461.3815805300829
    week = 7 * day

  14. Companies should focus on esports titles on Ask Slashdot: What Video Games Keep You From Using Linux? · · Score: 1

    To answer the question directly, right now, for me, it's Borderlands 2.

    Companies should focus Linux game development on tried-and-true esports titles, such as Counter-Strike (Source/Global Offensive), Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead 2, League of Legends, Heroes of Newerth, StarCraft 2, DotA 2, Call of Duty, etc. Fortunately, some of those are Valve titles already headed to Linux. Heroes of Newerth has a Linux version that works pretty well, and will certainly only get better.

    What's it going to take to convince Activision Blizzard to port its big games to Linux?

    Moreover, what's it going to take to get developers of Mac games to port to Linux, because they're apparently pretty easy to port to Linux once on OS X.

  15. Class action on Joyent Drops Lifetime Account Holders · · Score: 1

    I smell a class action, if enough people rely on this lifetime service, and a loss of that service would demonstrably financially harm them.

  16. One Subject at a Time Act on Senate Cybersecurity Bill Stalled By Ridiculous Amendments · · Score: 5, Interesting

    This is a great reminder to contact your Representative and ask them to support the latest iteration of the H.R. 3806 One Subject at a Time Act in the House and Sen. Paul's version S. 3359 One Subject at a Time Act in the Senate. Both bills are endorsed by DownsizeDC, which is one of the originators of the idea, according to their site.

  18. Re:10 Amendment on Password Protection Act: Bans Bosses Asking For Facebook Passwords · · Score: 1

    I meekly proffer the 4th Amendment, but recognize that the relevance is weak since the intention of the 4th Amendment is to prohibit government from unreasonable search and seizure, not employers as a condition of employment.

    The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

    I suppose that prohibiting employers from asking for network account passwords unrelated to one's job falls under the same rationalization as what prevents employers from asking about another things in your life -- the same logic permitting the federal government's anti-discrimination laws (which may be tied to financing, which is why states then adopt the laws themselves and actually do the enforcement).

  24. Do Good on Google 'Wasting' $16 Billion On Projects Headed Nowhere · · Score: 1

    A friend of mine has a theory that Google just wants to make as much money as it can so that it can do some really geeky shit and hope that something is truly revolutionary. They'll just keep doing this until their empire collapses, no matter how far in the future that may be. Take the profitable projects' profits and throw them at something for the good of humanity, no matter if it's profitable.

    Could you deactivate it before the interview, then reactivate it later? Change your password to a random string from http://strongpasswordgenerator.com/ so that you can't know it and then reset your password later. Do this for everything they'd want to look at.
