    Some companies do mitm so they can monitor their employee's SSL traffic.
    However, they have to override the browser warnings on the corp. computers or the employees get warnings.

    I know of one guy here who has made a career out of looking busy walking around with a piece of paper while every 2 minute job takes AT LEAST a week! True! Unfortunately for us he is a moron, albeit a highly paid moron. You found Wally?!?

    And instead of AJAX, they'll call it AppleJax.
    Hmm... maybe I should trademark that.

    And so the only thing that lies between modern life and the world being reduced to a nuclear wasteland is the fact that shipping containers happen to be effective Faraday Cages. So solder an antenna on the outside of the container.
    Duh.

  7. Re:Shoot them! on What To Do With a Hundred Hard Drives? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, a lot of the new drive platters disintegrate, not just shatter.

    Haven't tried a .22, but a .40 hollowpoint makes a nice hole.

  8. Re:Bunches of small drives on What To Do With a Hundred Hard Drives? · · Score: 1

    Umm... if you could sell them for an average of $10 each, that'd be $1000.
    Selling them in a big lot saves lots of time & trouble.

    No shit. Trying to read security articles while I was in China was hell. And trying to circumvent was probably a bad idea as I was on a relative's internet connection. WiFi is unheard of.

    That's what the LIDAR satellites were supposed to help with. Not sure if they were deployed though.

    Money, yes; Not so much on the skills in that case -- they paid Cisco and Juniper to build it for them.

    Another thing I find odd is that people get offended if you don't keep putting food on their plate, instead of letting them serve themselves.
    Not at buffets, perhaps.

    Mod parent up.

    I was going to post about the DesertExpress too.
    I don't understand why it needs to end in Victorville; there's still freight trains running through the pass; why can't it?

    I don't see why they don't expand the old airport in "North" Las Vegas. No, I'm not talking about McCarren.

    The planes used on short flights like LA-LV are usually in the sizes of 727s or 737s or equivalent, seating somewhere around 80-120 passengers, IIRC.
    Even the larger MD80/MD90 max out at 172 passengers.
    AFAIK, no airline is flying jumbo jets on flights like that.

  24. Re:Huge construction project.. recession.. on Transportation Bill Sets Aside $45 Million For MagLev Train · · Score: 1

    There's only one interstate through Vegas, the I15, which runs roughly North/South... this would only make sense for cargo if you added at least a stop around Barstow for the eastbound I40. The I10 would also be extremely useful, maybe around San Bernardino.

    However, there are already freight trains passing through that same route, they apparently just aren't being well-utilized.

    That's the thing... rumor had it 15 years ago, that Anaheim asked Disney to chip in for the maglev, but Disney refused.
