While RU-486 terminates a pregnancy, it only does so during the early weeks, before the embryo becomes implanted in the uterus. At that time of gestation, the spontaneous abortion rate (i.e. miscarriage) is 33% to 50% -- we don't really know the number exactly because that early in a pregnancy many women don't realize they are pregnant.
I think you're missing the point.
If I juggle chainsaws, and one day I mess up and die--that's an accident.
If someone comes over to my house and chops me into bits with a chainsaw, that's murder. Same method of death (chainsaw), different motive.
Define "druggie"... My facebook profile mentions quite clearly that I take LSD, and advocate others to do so (well, I use the words "psychedelic substance advocacy" in my list of interests). Would that disqualify me for a job from your point of view?
Just wondering really - I'm happily employed and well paid in my current position with plenty of room for moving up from where I am to even better things, so I'm not looking right now.
If I ran my own company, probably not. If you showed up wasted to an interview, the office, etc...I would fire you. But I strongly believe that whatever you do on your own time is your own business--none of mine and none of the governments. Of course the opposite is true. As a business, I can choose to hire and fire whomever I want, and it's no business of the government's.
Ok--wow. I totally screwed up the formatting at the end of that comment. There's no stipulation that competent mail admins preview before posting is there?
That ES6000 is an email security appliance and not a firewall. Sonicwall firewalls are decent devices. I can only comment on them in the typical SMB deployment, but I've seen one handle 500 users on a DS3 connection without a problem.
SonicWALL firewalls are decent devices in a small business or corporate settings...compared to PUNCHING YOURSELF IN THE BALLS REPEATEDLY.
Seriously. Support for OpenVPN? Nope
RIP, OSPF, or BGP routing over a VPN link? Nope.
Mesh offices together with IPSEC VPNs? Have money to burn on more VPN licenses? Oh and hopefully you don't mind manually tweaking routes in all the remote offices whenever you add a new subnet somewhere.
Uptime? Hopefully you don't mind rebooting occasionally when you do something basic like creating a VPN connection and it *just won't work* for some bizarre reason. Reboot and everything's fine.
Multiple WAN interfaces? Sure, you can have as many WAN interfaces as you want...as long as you only want two.
Traffic shaping? It's *finally* there, but it doesn't work too well.
VPN support on the small business line? Sure, as long as you only want to use VPNs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5--but they aren't called VPNs, they call it PortShield. I guess that's so you can't complain about lack of VPN support. Oh--and it's tied to the port. Port 3 can only be in VLAN3.
Their wireless solution is pretty awesome too. The SonicPoint has to be connected directly to the SonicWALL. The device can't 'find' the SonicWALL via DHCP and DNS settings because they use their proprietary SDP (SonicWALL Discovery Protocol) protocol. And if the SonicPoint can't find the SonicWALL, it only supports a very basic config that doesn't seem to include WPA2-PSK or the ability to set RADIUS settings for WPA2.
I dumped all the SonicWALLs at my client sites. They now run 1U Hacom (http://hacom.net) boxes with Ubuntu and ShoreWall. The cost difference between one of the Hacom boxes and something like a SonicWALL Pro 2040 is almost $2,000 (or it was when we last purchased a SonicWALL 2 years ago). Plus you can do more with a linux box--like everything I mentioned above that SonicWALL can't do.
If setting up a linux box with Shorewall isn't your cup of tea, try pfSense.
For the life of me, I can't figure out why people stay with the huge money sinks called SonicWALL when there is a much less expensive solution that can do more...
If you need email security, why aren't you using Postini?
Because I'm a competent mail admin.Mbr
They're ridiculously cheap for standard anti-spam / anti-virus filtering on your SMTP streams. We're paying about $4 per user for 125 users.
I run a Linux box that runs Postfix, Spamassassin, postfix-policyd, and policyd-weight. That takes care of most of the spam and costs me less than $500/mo. (I don't know--maybe that's $4/user/year. Even still, the box costs less than $500/year.)
I'm an equal opportunity employer. As long as you're not a douche, druggie, or moron, that would potentially damage my business, you have an equal opportunity to get employed regardless of being black, gay, Christian, Russian, female, etc...
So what, what lights out management card does not have virtual CD/floppy/USB features?
If you are serious about remote management you need proper lights out management, such as ILO, DRAC, RAS etc. depending on your server vendor.
Put another way a serial console is not enough, you need to be able to give it a remote kick.
The majority of servers I manage are for small businesses, and the only ones that have lights-out cards in them are the ones where the customer needed a beefy server and it just happened to include the card. The few that do have the LO cards only support remote reboots and the remote console only works in the BIOS. The moment Windows boots, you need to have a license key...lame.
So yeah--I wish Microsoft was on the ball with Windows 2003 and had USB or CD support for loading drivers.
The government will be unlikely to fine itself (the school).
You should start reading Injustice Everywhere. It's an eye-opener. The number of government retards that get off the hook, or get fined but the gov steps in to take the fine.
The sad part is, because this school is part of the government, it will probably not be charged. Government tends not to charge its own people, or if it does, the charges are so lenient as to be effectively no punishment at all.
Or in other words, the government will fine the school district, not the asshat school employee that did this. They will turn around and either give crappier educations to the children under the guise of having a budget problem due to the fee--or they will just steal more money from the taxpayers.
Maybe in Grandma's basement Email is going away but not in the real business environment. In the basement twitter and RSS and IM are all valuable communication tools in the business world they are toys and email is the only really valid tool with a little bit of IM possibly as outlook now has that ability if companies enable it.
Your dad just called. He said that SNDMSG isn't going away and that e-mail is considered a 'toy' in the business environment. And your grandfather is on line two...err...he's on the telegraph...I think he's saying something about that new-fangled phone and a business or something. I was never good at morse code...
One of the comments in that thread suggests switching to GPT if you aren't using Windows.
I haven't used Windows at home since ~2001.
Can you just wipe/reinstall using GPT? I thought the BIOS was involved with the type of partition table and that I had to be using the msdos partition type because of the BIOS. Can a geek with deeper knowledge of partitions and and all things boot drop some knowledge?
One is science the other is religion. Guess which one does not belong in a schoolbook?
I can't wait to see the next generation of unformed retards pumped out by state schools. It would be funny to watch the retard at his first interaction with a Christian, Muslim, Catholic, Buddhist, etc... "Mommy? Why do those people believe that? We never learned about it in school."
Religion has every place in a school text book. It just shouldn't be taught as "This is the way it is" (seeing as how no one has proven the existence of God) anymore than global warming, or evolution--which also haven't been proven. They are *theories*.
One is science the other is religion. Guess which one does not belong in a schoolbook?
Take your average religion. Many of them believe that a deity created the universe, world, etc. If that is the case, science be a way for humans to understand, describe, and test that creation?
I couldn't help but notice the conspicuous instructions to "Uncheck TLS/SSL security" in each of the clients.
I really hope that doesn't come back to bite anyone in the ass, there's enough spam on other parts of Facebook already.
Yeah--that's a big "What the fuck, facebook?"....in this day and age, it's tough to find XMPP software that flat-out doesn't support TLS. Even rolling your own in Python supports TLS...
Calvin is more like a Wile. E Coyote. When he acknowledges god, he's either shaking his fist at him or trying to make sleazy bargains with him as shown in this strip.
Agreed. I haven't seen that strip in years. Still makes me laugh.
I think it's time to take a trip to the storage locker to pull out the old books. My son is just about the right age to get hooked...
I see a big market for jammers, spoofers, RF scanners, and a multitude of other mini-electronic RF products. I better go take some spectrum-analysis classes soon.
Forget that, just rob them when they are in the middle of making microwave popcorn...
Sure we can "just use something else" than Paypal when they block people for political reasons
Yep--sounds like a good idea...
and we can stop using Facebook when they ban accounts for the same lame reasons
Yeah...
and we could find a different search engine if Google starts blocking political sites, and we could build our own Internet if the USA started trying to block political websites like China does...
Oh--wait, I see what you're trying to do. You're trying to make rational reactions sound insane so someone else steps in and fixes your pet problem.
I don't use paypal anymore because they are retarded. But I don't want anyone (like the government) to step in and 'fight' on my behalf.
I still use Google, but I don't allow cookies or scripts to be run, and I have stopped using the Google account I created years ago. I also block the stupid Google Analytics scripts that *everyone* seems to be running these days. But I don't need the FTC coming in and slapping them down because they know 'everything' about retards who don't browse safely.
The point is, if enough people find Paypal to be a pain in the ass, or an inconvenience, they will leave and paypal will go out of business. Alternatively, someone else might start a company that does the same damn thing and do it better. They will win over all the people who hate paypal. (When I saw the gunpal.net link someone posted, I read it as 'GNU'pal.net and thought 'Damn--that's a good idea'.)

Ugh. Thank God a recent HP Procurve purchase got me a pair of tactical black cables...
I'd hope these days a big honking server mobo would at least support booting from USB key.
Most of them do--but you have to realize that it took Microsoft until 2008 to release a server OS that doesn't require floppies to load RAID drivers.
Then you are looking at old catalogs my friend.... no, serial is not included on every piece of hardware.
No, that little RJ45-looking jack labeled 'Console' on most newer Cisco and HP gear is actually for a serial to RJ45 cable...

I believe it's time for an alternate, non-US based payment processor to take the place of paypal
