  1. Funny on Computer Jobs -- How to Resign Professionally? · · Score: 1

    At one job I was the system admin at I revoked my own account the day I gave notice. I told them I would stay on two weeks to help the other guys but I wouldn't touch a keyboard just sit over there shoulder and answer questions.

  2. Re:I think everyone is missing the point on Senator Carper Calls for Tax on Online Porn · · Score: 1

    All this will do is cause internet porn to be offshored, which in turn will cost jobs and a decline in revenue. The interenet porn companies will still make money, they will just do it from an island somewhere.

  3. Re:CardSystems is a MS .NET shop on Security Breach Exposes 40M Credit Cards · · Score: 1

    The head of security is also the help desk and unix system admin Tucson is a small town and I live here

  4. Re:You break it, you buy it. on 3.9 Million Citigroup Customers' Data Lost · · Score: 1

    no they don't they use frame relay from site to site no encryption. I know I worked in the IT deparment setting up 6509's for Citi.

  5. Ex-Citi Employee on 3.9 Million Citigroup Customers' Data Lost · · Score: 2, Informative

    Until the fines cost more than the security implementations huge companies like Citi will always have problems like this. Hell CitiCards shows the domain administrators username in all of the marketing materials. I tried to change this when I was there and I got the big f@ck you shut your mouth or your out of here.

  6. Bullshit on Mac Install-Base Shown to Be 16% · · Score: 1

    I have a Mac, but I say it's no more than 5% tops. I would say it's closer to 3-4%

  8. Re:Identity data stolen from a private university on Berkeley Grads' Identity Data Stolen · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Should be the USC football coach he wins more games.

  9. Re:It's easy to encrypt in Windows on Berkeley Grads' Identity Data Stolen · · Score: 1

    It's also really easy to crack windows encryption there's a couple of linux cd's that will crack the sam file on a windows box, you get the admin password you get the data. Local admin is the default recovery agent in windoze. So using windows encryption would only prevent the data from being accessed in about 10 min.

  10. Re:Nothing for you to see here. Please move along. on China Walks Out of Wireless LAN Security Talks · · Score: 0

    China does not have a billion customers, at most they have half of what the US has, most of China can't buy chicken and rice at the end of the day let alone wireless cards. I say let them backout. They are not the great economic superpower the media is making them out to be. Until they have a middle class I don't think they should be making the rules. Besides anyone really trust China to provide a security standard? Then to share it?

    I think HP is run by a dirty whore

  15. Re:Assembly AND Military Experience Required on Navy Jet eBayed - Some Assembly Required? · · Score: 1

    I remember someone telling me it was about $6000/10000lbs

    The F/A-18 requires on avgerage about 14 man/hours per flight however this is based on having 12 jets.

  16. Re:Flight Hours on Airframe on Navy Jet eBayed - Some Assembly Required? · · Score: 1

    Marine Corps has jets that are younger Lot 11 with more hours on the frame over 4000+ in 1999. The Blue Angels are also not flying F/A-18 E's and they won't be for a very long time. There are plenty of Lot 9 and below aircraft in the rag squardons they can take for the air show. My guess is that the aircraft had a fire and was repaired or the airframe had and over stress. It's very rare that the navy would just get rid of an airplane without letting a Marine Rag squadron squeeze another 1000 hours out of it.

  17. Re:Assembly AND Military Experience Required on Navy Jet eBayed - Some Assembly Required? · · Score: 5, Informative

    The Jet holds 10800 lbs of JP5 without External fuel tanks.

    I know I used to work on them in the Avionics shop VMFA-232

    Symantec will still develop it, all the Gateway Security firewalls and Raptor firewalls were built on cobalts

  20. This is easy to fix on Reliance On MS A Danger To National Security · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Just don't let Microsoft Computers connect to the internet directly With properly placed firewalls there shouldn't be a problem

  21. Rip-Tech on Head Of Homeland Cybersecurity Named · · Score: 3, Informative

    Rip-Tech was one of the largest security monitoring firms in the country, I can only see this as a good thing. Besides the goverment already has moved a majority of it's firewalls over to symantec long time ago.

    I remebmer when I went to the raptor training 75% of the guys there were goverment types or working on goverment contracts.

  22. Cavemen on Why Johnny Can't Handwrite · · Score: 1

    Did cavemen freak out when mankind started written instead of drawing?

    Historically speaking most of these issues through time have been settled by war and assimilation.
