mammal = Any of various warm-blooded vertebrate animals of the class Mammalia, including humans, characterized by a covering of hair on the skin and, in the female, milk-producing mammary glands for nourishing the young.

Mine is always there, and it's kept up to date. I've never made a secret of it. If I'm happy in a position I put my required salary much higher than my current salary (say 50% higher). I've never gotten a call for a dream job like that, but you never know... If I'm dissatified, then the required salary comes down closer to my real market value. I've never been challenged on it.
In late 1999 I would have agreed with you. I fought a battle with management over this very thing. We were looking down the barrel of Y2K and some guy in an office somewhere noticed that we were TR and everyone else in the company was ethernet (we had just been acquired). In the midst of "THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT!!!!OMG!!!" he decides to redo the whole architecture. I managed to point out the lunacy of the timing to the CEO and in the process burnt many a bridge. I managed to get the call center through Y2K and then said "It's your problem now, do what you want" and resigned.
Today? I'd say there's something to be said for being able to run into any local shop and buy a hub, switch or ethernet card for modest amounts of money. This is very valuable in the face of an outage at an inopportune time (like a Sunday afternoon). TR equipment has to be expensive and hard to find at this point.
Read the U.S. Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act of 1994. It mandates certain levels of wiretap access and availability for all telecom carriers. It's a fairly large financial burden on telecom carriers, but in terms of rights it's same old same old.
We're about 10 years behind in oppressing our population since the U.S. passed the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act in 1994. It mandated similar technology be put in place by telecom companies in the U.S.
In all seriousness this is a non-issue unless you own a telecom company/broadband ISP and have to foot the bill for the hardware and software upgrades. The authorities have always had the means to intercept pretty much any communications you send. This just mandates that telecom companies spend money to meet certain capacity and accessibility standards.
I don't go into the woods backpacking without giving my brother an envelope with a map of my route and my itinerary. It's a simple precaution should anything happen to me. No one is shooting at me... This guy went into a combat zone and didn't leave an envelope with passwords with someone? Then you can probably assume that the data wasn't meant to be shared. Family should forget about it and move on.
Gee, good thing we don't have cold weather up here in Canada or I'd never get my 2000 VW Jetta TDI to start...
I've started my car in -35 (-31 F for the metric impaired) after waiting 45 seconds for my glowplug light to go off. When I bought it, there wasn't even a block heater option available from VW because it didn't have any cold starting issues. They've since offered it as an add-on, but I've only had issues with gas cars not starting (or worse, stranding me) in cold weather.
Frankly, if you have to ask these questions, you should shy away from offering security consulting. Pay someone that lives, eats, sleeps and breathes IT security and you'll serve your customer better. I do IT security work (and only IT security work) for a living. I don't know how many times we've gone into a company that paid someone to do a security assessment, asked to see the previous report and been handed the stock report that NessusWX generates. Invariably when we do our work and write our report detailing the risks the customer feels their previous 'security consultants' cheated them. Often we find massive security issues that for one reason or another the automated scanners don't pick up. It won't do your reputation any good to do a poor job. The ability to do proper analysis is not a black art, but it becomes easier with experience and study.
The cylon robots weren't really the cylons race. The robots were created by the original cylon race. The cylon race was reptilian. Can't remember if the robots overthrew their masters or the original race just sort of disappeared. Anyway, the robots ended up being known as cylons.
I used to use noip.com for DNS stuff. They have a mail reflector service that'll accept mail on their mailserver at port 25 and forward to your mailserver on a non-standard port. It worked okay for me, but the problem arose that cable/dsl residential IPs are listed in many of the spam blacklists. So I ended up with some ISPs I could not send mail to. Ended up upgrading to a small office commercial connection. My servers don't violate the acceptable use policy anymore, I can host anything I want (within reason) and I don't have problems with blacklists.
Little ice age ended in the between 1850-1900. So a warming trend over the last 100 years is to be expected. The Medieval warm period (1000-1300AD) was WARMER than it is now. Farmers in England could raise grapes 300 miles north of where they presently are able to. Norse settlers grazed sheep and dairy cattle in areas that are currently covered with ice. Climate is cyclic and we don't have the data to say "This is because of us."
Ummm... I'd suggest you reread the question... It's amazing that people can grab one line out of context and hammer some guy.
Fact 1) He just got a Solaris server. Fact 2) He's in charge of setting it up. Fact 3) He's not allowed to use Open Source software because there's no support line for VNC and OpenSSH.
He wants "the capabilities that only open source software can provide on a Unix platform..." Let him know where he can download MS Remote Desktop for Solaris and I'm sure he'll be grateful.

Well, here's one
gateway# uname
OpenBSD
gateway# dmesg | grep hifn
hifn0 at pci0 dev 14 function 0 "Hifn 7955/7954" rev 0x00: LZS 3DES ARC4 MD5 SHA1 RNG AES PK, 32KB dram, irq 11
Oh yeah, I'm a security geek so I get asked about such hardware a lot. Guess who I won't be recommending if they don't play nice with OpenBSD?

You're done.

Or take up lawn maintenance. It'll save you from being offshored.

Obviously a security professional. 100% correct.
Obviously you're not a real security guy... You forgot Sneakers.

You mean NOx. TDI Driver that runs B20.
Um, that's 100% incorrect. CO2 is much lower from diesel engines. NOx and particulates are higher, but CO2 is much lower.

Shame on whoever moderated this as interesting.
Went out and got one. Didn't help. They sleep together on the couch now.
