A gun safe is not always a safe place to keep a loaded gun.
If you have 3 seconds to get your gun or die, you are dead. If you have a couple minutes to get your gun and load it, you might have a chance. If your gun is stored ready to fire at a moments notice, there is a good chance it is going to be fired at an unexpected and probably tragic moment. It could be when a kid gets it, it could be when anger gets the better of someone, or it could be when an intruder breaks in. If it is fired at an intruder there is a better chance that intruder is someone you know (a teenager sneaking in late, or a spouse out for a late walk), then someone intending to harm you.
Lev was drafted into Russian army and sent out to fight on the front lines. The man in front of him was handed a rifle and Lev was handed afew bullets. They told him to wait until someone died and take his rifle. So Lev made his way to the front line knowing that if he retreated, he would be retreating into a hail of bullets from the political officer. As soon as he crouched down in a handy shell hole a major attack commenced, Nazis were shooting at him and charging towards him. A comrade yelled out, "Just point your finger and say "Bang!" With no gun, and no other hope, Lev pointed his finger at a Nazi running towards him and yelled "Bang!" The Nazi fell down, dead. Lev was impressed and gunned down more Nazis with his finger, "Bang! Bang! Bang!". Then he saw one Nazi headed straight towards him, moving in a jerky manner. He pointed his finger and yelled "Bang!" Nothing happened. He did it again, "Bang!" Again, nothing. As the Nazi drew closer he continued to shoot ineffectually with this finger, "Bang! Bang! Bang!" Until the Nazi reached him and stomped him into the ground. As Lev died, he heard the Nazi saying, "Tank, Tank, Tank, Tank, Tank, Tank...."
Don't bother, if you are any good you will be undercut by the incompetent and the unethical. Businesses would rather save $10k on a $100k quote and spend $40k on lawyers to try to get an unethical weasel to do what they would be doing in the first place if they had any morals. Alternatively they will save $30k by paying someone totally incompetent, then spend $100k on lawyers to sue when the project doesn't work. They then abandon the project because the don't want to spend another $50k to fix the original project because they are now convinced it could never work.
Meanwhile, the guys that could have actually delivered on the original project have gone bankrupt.
Thanks, but this advice doesn't apply to me. I was just making a point. Like you say, get that first job and employers will trust you. I say, pay that guy well and treat him with respect. You can turn (almost) any employee into hardworking, trustworthy employee.
So, for the fist few years of warfare you will make life unbearable for everyone. Then it will only become unbearable for the underclass. As people get used to death nobody will blink when a dozen underclass are rounded up as hostages and shot for every ruling class that is attacked.
There are plenty of strategies that are untenable today. You and yours would like to return us to a time when they are once more useful.
Hey, in many ways 2013 is 1913 all over again, read some history. WW1 was not some country bent on conquest. It was a bunch of countries that didn't trust each other and had overlapping treaties. Everybody was too proud to back down or negotiate. Just this morning I heard a dumb ass on the radio saying mistrust of Islams was more know your enemy, not discrimination. He also talked about how looking at blacks as criminals was justified although hispanics are muddying the picture. Times have changed, but attitudes stay the same. Nationalism is not as big in Europe, but try calling a Korean person Chinese, or a South American, Mexican. There is pride in identity, but it can easily tip over to a dangerous degree. People are people, and most of them are all to happy to let someone else do the thinking while they march off to the trenches.
You are either woefully ignorant, or purposefully blind. There are plenty of stories out their that show how walmart has products created specifically for their store. They are cheaper and it often shows. They buy in such volume that this is easy for them to demand. I challenge you to find a samsung in Walmart with the same model number as one in Best Buy. They often use custom model numbers to confuse price matching.
Your crappy employee comment is also a chicken/egg conundrum. Walmart has a toxic culture, as do many retail establishments. I dare you to work there for six months and find out what it is like. Hell, just interview and go through the hiring process. It will open your eyes, if you want them to be opened.
So, rather then add a read strip to each side of the reader, or put multiple swipe spots on a card, you want to champion a stupidly implemented security nightmare of a feature?
AD treat sex like real life. It's there, it can be funny or awkard, but it's not a central topic of conversation. HIMYM treats sex like it's the capstone of any conversation. Everything revolves around casual sex and it is a main topic of conversation. The characters act like their at a sex addicts anonymous meeting. I also find the entire premise hard to believe. This character is supposed to be listing off his sexcapades to his children as some sort of amusing anecdote.
Connecting to another office, that sounds like the perfect use case for some sort of virtual leased line connection, maybe I should write some software to create a secure tunnel between two locations. I could call it a VLL or maybe VPN. I could probably make a ton of money since there is now way there could be free versions of something this revolutionary.
Stick a network tap between the machine and your network. Find out what access it needs and put it on a restricted network with a firewall that blocks everything else.
These machines should be on a dedicated vlan or network segment so they are not at risk from other machines on your network. They should be firewalled from your network and from the internet. A competent network admin (I know, that's asking alot) can determine what access is needed to the internal network and the internet. Access should be restricted to specific IP's and ports. Try to avoid hostname since that opens you up to DNS attacks.

I'm thinking strategically placed facial jewelry with intense IR LED's might become the norm.

I want the 3D printed Abrams battle tank.
This reminds me of a story:
Lev was drafted into Russian army and sent out to fight on the front lines. The man in front of him was handed a rifle and Lev was handed afew bullets. They told him to wait until someone died and take his rifle.
So Lev made his way to the front line knowing that if he retreated, he would be retreating into a hail of bullets from the political officer.

The three hour battery might defeat you.
I agree, I would certainly rather nuke my house then let some bank take it from me.

Here's a question: To know which bits have changed, doesn't it need to compare the two files. How does this result in bandwidth savings?

you need a remedial math or statistics course, are the 4 digit UI's entering senility?
Yes, despite your straw man argument, nobody is hiring a minimum employee. Ask all the guys with felony records.
chip and pin is different then tap to pay.
Don't bother talking to your bank, call your microwave, 1 second should do the trick.
fixed antennas in a doorway, or stuck behind a poster on a wall and lightpost. Wire them into some batteries and you are good to go.

I have never watched netflix on windows. I have however used my wii's, my smartphone's, and my kid's android tablets.

I'v run into this and solved it with a USB network hub, then forgot those existed. Thanks for the reminder. I hate dongles!

Quarterly or Annual expense? Are you talking about a business, or a doctors office. Doc's don't spend money until the bitter end.
Software firewalls are fine as part of a network strategy, but this type of thing should be handled at the gateway.
