Of course she wants to be a princess. She is a four your old girl. My daughter wanted to be a princess at 4, too. Today she is 12. In a STEM focused school and just did her seconded FLL Lego Robotics competition. She is active in her school's TSA (Technology Student Association) and competes in various science contests. She is two years ahead in math and wants to pursue a STEM career. Her favorite color is pink; she likes to wear dresses and did all the girl related toys. It is ok for a girl to like princesses and pink and all the frivolous stuff. Dolls don't turn you against science and math.
But we also pushed science related stuff on her early. We bought lots of those science kits for kids and did them with her. Dumped a ton of lego’s on her. I spent many evening building lego’s and doing science kits and physics kits and volcano kits and walking fields, looking at rocks, ect. What you need to do is spend time with your daughter at an early age doing science kits, and looking at the environment and poking at rocks and asking questions of her to get her to think. As a dad, best think you can do is spend time with your daughter and guide her to thinking about her surroundings and what not. But don’t take away the girly toys; Let her be a girl because it’s ok to be a girl and be into science and technology. Don’t think you need to turn your girl into a boy to get her into science.
We have our core routers sync with public NTP servers (NIST and Naval Observatory). Everything else (servers, phones, ect) goes to two sets of Core routers for time. Dont' see the need for a separate box for NTP.
You can get IPv6 DIA from them, but not IPv6 TIC. They are not the same. All of the agencies that moved to provider-based TIC cannot get IPv6 service in time for the mandate.
That is very correct. We will not be compliant with our own hosted sites because of our TIC provider can not support ipv6 yet. The sites that are hosted on Akamai are ipv6 compliant and have been for some time.
I think there are about three, maybe four comments here from people who know what the actual civilian Fed requirements are capabilities are, and are familiar with TIC. All the other comments are from people who have no idea.
My suggesting is to never, ever directly deal with an opposing lawyer. You will loose, every time. Lawyers are expert wordsmiths and that is how they fight. You are not and you will loose. Never even send a letter. Not just for this, but for anything. Always have your own lawyer do it for you. You fight a lawyer with a lawyer. Even just the initial response is worth the 150 to 200 it will cost. The initial letter will probably something like a denial and demand for proof. They will probably drop it unless they already have something to go on.
You would be suprised, then. We don't have voip. My organization is still buying new Avaya phones that are seperate from the network. Of course, these idiots won't buy patch panels in our server room. Heck, they won't even buy fiber panels. You should see the spaghetti that connects our MDS san switch. Most of that fiber is wrapped up with 180 degree bends. 50 m cable to go two racks. Oh, and no, half of our racks don't have power strip built in. We were handed a bunch of cheap 6 plug power strips and told to use them. Got about 25 racks with some very expensive hardware with crap power and cable connections. No concept of layer 1 integrity or planning here.
As far as the router, they may not have a choice. Could be provider owned and the model depends on the bandwidth selected.
OK, the infant mortality rate is not comparable. The US does a much better job than the rest of the world at keeping premature babies alive. Different countries use a different method of reporting live births. Many countries do not count deaths of premature babies born before 25 weeks. The US counts it. This throws off the infant mortality comparisons. The US makes efforts to keep alive babies born very early, even with 2 lb birth waits. The chance of survival is very low. The death is counted. Cuba and others don't even try and the deaths are not part of their reported infant mortality rate.
Here is one of many links. http://www.biggovhealth.org/resource/myths-facts/infant-mortality-and-premature-birth/
I don't see how you could get a password to access all of the network. They have gone to CAC cards for pc access. Its also highly segmented. Unclassified data is its own network. Classified, ts, ect have their own physically separate networks. All you can get off the unclass network is unclassified data.
Now, if you really want something, get yourself into jwics. If it comes out that somebody found a way to access that, then you will have something.
"All the problems involved the department's unclassified computer networks, although DHS officials also have acknowledged to lawmakers dozens of incidents they described as "classified spillage," in which secret information was improperly transmitted or discussed over nonsecure e-mail systems."
Reread this last paragraph. There are two things here. Only one rally matters. First item states that all of the incidents involved the unclassified computer networks. The second item states that some classified (secret) information was transmitted on unclassified systems.
Regarding the first, who the fuck cares if unclassified info was leaked? Its unclassified. It does not involve secrets or anything that is important. Its the internet connection for people. The classified and higher networks have the real stuff. BTW, those networks are not connected to the internet or any part of the unclassified network. So, big fucking deal.
The second item is important. This means users discussed classified material on the wrong network. You can fix most of this by better training and a better IA staff.
Move along, nothing to see here. Mountain out of a mole hill. Remember, if it unclassified, it does not involve government secrets.
Personally, I have one credit card that I only use for online transactions. Because it is a credit card, your exposure is limited and you have fraud protections. With a debit card, all of the money you have in your bank is exposed.
I have a box with an IDE RAID controller. Mirrored 120GB drives. I have software on my wife's windows box that backs it up to the RAID box each night, and I back up my box to it as well. So I have three copies of the data.
I love those Kiosks. Its great for mailing packages at midnight. Have to pay by credit card. However, you do not sign a receipt. So, maybe the picture could be used in a dispute? I know, I am reaching. Since the picture is kept for 30 days, and it can take that long to see an unauthorized charge, it can't really help in a dispute.
I am glad to see this. I think it is very important to be able to check your credit. Since it is so vital, each person should be entitled to one free copy a year. I believe the law in some states mandated that you got one fee a year. At least that was true when I lived in Colorado in 96. Not free in VA, though.
And yes, you can get incorrect info removed. I paid for a combined report in August. There was an error, a civil case that was Dismissed, nonsuit, but reported as a judgement against me. I filled a protest with Equafax, and they removed it in less than a month.
The speculation is on/. seems to be that the weak security is because of M$ products and lazy/ incompetent IT people.
I wonder if that is really to cause, or maybe its because the Company is too cheap to hire good IT, or its too cheap to allow IT to do what it wants? I wonder how often the cause of poor security is not because the IT people don't know what to do, but because the higher-ups will not allow IT to spend the time/ money/ resources necessary. Security does not contribute to profitability, so a company probably does not want to spend on it unless they are forced to.
Just my two cents.
But they do pay other taxes. All of the employees represent payroll, which is taxed. Corporations buy goods from others, which is subject to sales tax (excluding good bought for resale). And property tax, too. Fuel tax on fuel cosumed by company vehicles, ect. Income is not the only tax in this country. Corporations kick out a lot of money to various government bodies at all levels.
Corporations don't really pay taxes. You the consumer pay all the taxes. The taxed paid by a corporation are factored into the price of the product that you, the consumer, buys. Raise corporate taxes and you can bet the price you pay for goods will rise to reflect that. And if the corporation can not recover the additional cost, it will get out of that business. Taxing corporations is just silly. It hides the true cost from the consumer.
I watch very little TV anymore. I am in the high end of the age group (33) and I watch less than four hours a week. There is almost nothing on that I am interested in. And what little I am interested in, well, I would rather wait a year and by the DVD set. Did that with season 1 and 2 of 24. Havn't watched it yet in the 3rd season. Going to wait till it comes out on DVD.
For some reason, the Sopranos did not grab me. Watched the first episode. Have not seen another. Will probably buy it on DVD in a year or so.
The commercials drive me nuts, as does scheduling my time around when the show comes on. During the week, my evening does not wind down till 10 pm or so. I come home, play with my daugher (21 months), eat dinner, do other necessary stuff. By 10, I spend my time studying some continuing education courses. Play some Railroad Tycoon and Unreal every now and then.
As far as watching tv on the weekend, well, spring is here and I would rather go camping or do other weekend trips. Or get stuff around the house done.
And my class is more interesting that TV, too. Never would have said that in high school. I don't know any other way to say it, other than TV sucks anymore.
I could use these tags at my work. We are on a major government IT job, to go on for several more years. We install backbone switches and keep several million dollars worth of inventory on hand. When we turn it over to the government, it all has to be tracked by serial number. One of our biggest pains is keeping track of each individual blade, chassis, GBIC, ect from when we receive it to when it gets installed and turned over.
As it is, we have to hand count and hand scan s/n constantly. If I could just "read" the s/n with a tag reader, I would save a lot of man-hours and probably have better accuracy.
I can really see the use of this is business-to-business applications. Not everything is about individuals.
Heinlein should get some credit. It takes both the creative process to come up with the idea and the logical process to implement the idea.
I think Heinlein deserves a lot of credit simply for inspiring me, and many others, in math and science. It was his books, and his ideas, that formed my love of reading.
Sometimes I think we spend too much time and energy dwelling on the past. There is a difference between remembering the past to not repeat mistakes and wasting resources and time over nothing. NASA and space exploration is about the future.
I think the 40 mil it would cost to preserve it would be much better spent researching for the future. Money is a finite resource and there are better priorities to spend it on.
I have been to the space center in Florida and enjoyed it. However, I just can't see myself spending my vacation time to see a concrete launch pad with a tower on it.
This just shows that the penalty for murder is much too light. Over all, I am infavor of the death penalty. As long as the evidence against is very high. That jackass in Florida who kidnapped that 11 year old and killed her needs to swing from a rope.
A laser cutter is good for food processing in general. No blade to clean, no blade for bacteria to cling to. I can see uses in other food processing besides cheese. Anything that can cut with out the possibility of contaminating anything else, cheese or otherwise, is a good thing.

Yah... those ACL's are on there because Security insisted. Yet to see security think performance matters.
Their network was not designed with redundency to support the vm servers. Or they cheaped out and did pay for network redundency.

Your still out the cash until you discover the fraud and report it. Cardinal rule is to never expose your own pile of money.
Thats a whole lot of work and account management.
Personally, I have one credit card that I only use for online transactions. Because it is a credit card, your exposure is limited and you have fraud protections. With a debit card, all of the money you have in your bank is exposed.
Personally, CD's are not usefull for data backup.
