As a consultant, I found myself on the other end of this. Often, someone leaves and is replaced with a jack-of-all-trades IT admin / developer. That will almost always be the #1 uno mistake any company can make. I was called out to assist with a migration contracted by the hour. Not only did we run into several road blocks preventing a smooth e-mail migration, but I've also identified lots of red flags to the network. Some involved double-natting using old consumer routers as switches to Dell Power Edge servers out of warrant and flashing amber LEDs indicating faulty hardware someplace. But the worse security issue??? All AD accounts were made members of the local Domain Admins group just so users could install software on their local Windows XP machine. First of all, most employees shouldn't be local admins of their machine. But if they need it, you can make their domain account members of the Local Administrative group instead.
There was other odds and ends to be found. A few weeks later, the guy quit his IT job. In my haste to provide as much value in consultation per hour as I could (saving his company money), I must have overwhelmed him instead and sent him into panic and shock. Damn...
DNA changes over time. Eventually, you start cloning the many mutations created over time and thus in aggregate carried over to the latest clone alive. Eventually, the success rate for cloning may diminish over time. Also, wasn't there that whole telomere length issue where it didn't get reset when cloning an animal? Was a solution ever found?
Fighting piracy is light fighting terrorism. Either you with them, or against them. Not to make light of terrorist activities, just putting into perspective how politicians will spin this. Basically, Kaspersky will find themselves black listed for not being a team player in the fight against piracy. At least in the American market, they're so fucked, they don't even know it yet.
If they didn't change the cipher prior to launch, than it was pure incompetence on behalf of the US military. Most likely, the drone malfunctioned for whatever reason and was safely captured on the ground. You can't really shoot it with a projectile at those altitudes and expect it to remain in one piece.
This thing is a technological treasure trove. It will be gifted to the Chinese (or perhaps the Russians) in exchange for protection. Count on that.
Wyatt, I *do* work with lawyers and doctors. I'm also a professional with regards to ethics and ensuring technology works for their needs and not the other way around. Security is extremely important to them and myself. If there's a single person on Earth that can be called an IT Professional, I'm your guy.
1962!! How much infrastructure and consumer devices used Microchips back then? How many devices use microchips today? Of those, which ones still boot from ROMs vs flash memory or an HDD for software boot up? Our society is completely fragile to the effects of an EMP in comparison to 1962.
As a consultant who works for a managed service provider, this tells me one thing. If you're snooping around other peoples crap, firstly, you're punk. Second, you have too much time on your hands. Even if you stumble upon data you shouldn't be aware of, it's best to not make it a priority to remember it. And if by chance you have a photographic memory, don't say shit about it to anyone. It's none of your damn business really! You're supposed to be a professional in the industry. Act the part please.
Almost everyone accepts electronic bill payment these days. But sometimes one-off payments (medical, dental, etc) need to be in the form of a check. Also governmental agencies such as the USCIS require checks to be mailed in as electronic payment isn't an option yet. Oh, and lets not forget the elderly who still hand-write letters in cursive to other family members.
These are not simple analog RC airplanes. US military drone communications are supposed to be super secure. Most likely digital and encrypted. Perhaps they might have the ability to jam communications with noise and thus forcing the drone to whatever programmed fallback logic it's programmed for. But certainly not directional control of them.
Anyone who's Muslim. Which BTW is why I'll never set foot in the ME for fear of being stranded there when total war breaks out. They hate the Jews, they hate Western civilization in almost every facet, and in fact, they hate each others interpretation of the Qoran. Islam = Trouble. Poke fun at Christians and their belief in Bible in literal form. But I can deal with them. But when Islamic apes start throwing shit, be sure you've got guns and plenty of ammo for fear you will be over run by the near infinite body count.
On July 9, 1962, Starfish Prime was conducted above the Pacific at high-altitude with a yield of 1.4MT. It knocked out 300 street lights and a microwave linked telco station killing phone calls for many of the Hawaiian islands. Months later the radiation killed solar arrays on seven satellites.
Today, the yields are much higher and our electronics are far far FAR more sensitive to EMP. You can thank the invention of the microchip for that. Vacuum tubes are hardened for the most part. I would imagine modern military equipment as well. But non of the industrial and consumer ICs (microchips) can't withstand an EMP. The effects leave permanent damage as the individual gates "pop" like a fuse from the flux. Everything and anything sensitive enough becomes a worthless pile of junk. Bricked for life.
Here's a scenario that would happen if a high-altitude thermonuclear bomb went off above New York city. Runaway1956 notices a flash in the sky. You think it was a camera flash, but notice all power going off in and around buildings and the streets. Instinctively, you go to check the time on your cell phone. It's dead as doornail. You attempt in futility to reboot the damn thing. Even going so far as to pull the battery. Toast. Your co-workers wrist watch stopped working the moment the flash was noticed. Turns out everyone else has the same problem. You decide to look out the window from the 19th floor of the building. There is no traffic moving. Only a handful of cars still have their headlights on, but the engines aren't running. You decide to run downstairs to start your car. Nothing. Dead. But the headlights work and windows still roll down. Nice, but useless. Reality starts to sink in. You, and everyone around you is undeniably screwed! Start walking, and find fresh water quickly. GTFO of town pronto!
AC is full of shit and readers are happy to lap up this anti-American vomit. Only after the Zetas started making enough serious money did they start hiring professional military trained mercenaries. Many whom are ex-military themselves.
I don't have the answers, but I have made a few observations about drinkers vs tokers.
1. When it comes to death and dismemberment through driving, drinking is often heavily involved on the weekends. People who toke and drive often drive a lot slower, but their reaction and ability to pay attention is impaired too. Still not enough data to compare conclusively as weed is an illegal substance for casual use.
2. There are numerous cases for alcohol abuse that affects both family, friends, and the individual with the problem. However, most people are casual drinkers by a wide margin. Tokers on the other hand, tend to be very habitual with their habit. If stoned often enough and over a period of 10 years, the brain can get re-wired to adjust for the 'stonage'. It's not deadly, but these people are easy to spot years after they've dropped the toking habit. If legalized, I'd be curious to know of the margin between the life stoners and casual weekend tokers.
3. Metabolism. From what I understand, alcohol metabolizes much faster than THC. People who drink or have gotten drunk tend to recover much sooner than someone who's been high on weed. So if you toke ever day, there's an overlapping period in which THC is constantly in the body.
Agreed. If they only used one Exchange server holding all the roles, that was the problem right there. You can do that with a Microsoft SBS box, but it doesn't scale and there is a user limitation defined for a reason. Exchange is designed to have its roles delegated to other servers for load balancing and scalability. Technically this problem is easily solvable. It's getting additional funding that will be the hard part. Namely, additional MX records created and additional Exchange servers rolled out. Oh, and they may need more ISP bandwidth.
Here a some examples in how to implement Exchange per MS.
Birds of a feather and all that. I suspect this is one of the many reasons a company fails after a certain time. They don't replenish the ranks with younger people, or, they hire all new graduates that are all fresh and willing to flee to the next gig with a case of ADHD. The retention of knowledge and the ability for it to be passed down from co-worker to co-worker is extremely important.
He must be talking about the next Apple TV or the generation after that. The duh factor is too much to ignore on this one. Eventually, every Apple product will run off iOS thus expanding the gaming market to the TV too.
Doubt that. Normally I work 60 hours a week plus more. That's normal reactive tech support (workstations, network, server configs) and proactive server maintenance after hours. Oh, an I'm on call. Actually, technically I have work on the mind every hour 365 days of the year. It's only when I'm at home can I kind-of-sort-of priorities my personal life first. But really, no. Work always comes first. That, or I'm stuck at the unemployment line.
Guy, it's fucking brutal out there in the work force. Either you're without a job, or worked as a slave. But hey, I'm the type of employee that this bill targets. I'm seriously thinking about moving to Shanghai with my wife for work. Fuck this! And fuck the American dream I'll never see anyhow.
Could be a conspiracy. Create a bill that forces IT Professionals to seek out Union membership. And Unions almost always votes Democrats in office. Talk about sucking the cock of the man who raped you. And yet, people will do this and *like* it.
You're blind. Members of the US armed forced, Police, and National Guard are for the most part...get ready for it... citizens of the United States of America. They have family and friends too you know. It's how civil war happens when people defect against orders. At the very least, civilians alone would stop working causing the entire productivity of the nation to come to a screeching halt. Either way, there will be change. By definition, a revolution has occurred. Now, whether that revolution has made the situation better or worse is the risk you take.
Warp drive doesn't exist. At least not for our species in this tiny area of the Milky Way. But let's just entertain the idea for a moment. Suppose we did have this technology and found many other habitable worlds to colonize. Do you really think they're would be peace? I don't. In fact, I would see people from all nations colonizing planets, and then claiming independence. America is a popular example to have happened in the new world. Nations from Earth will try and assert authority and sovereignty over these new lands. Think New America, New China, New Japan...etc. There would also be trade restriction in place. A single mining operation on one planet may flood the entire market with gold over a week as it's about as plentiful as dirt. Assuming people don't go to war over the stuff.
Human beings can be territorial. It's best to remember that while we can remove man from nature, you can't remove nature from man. In other words, we can't run from who we are. Warp drive technology will just allow man to spread our nature to the far corners of space.
If your smart you grab the used pre-2000s era CD and rip it. Many CDs sold after 2000 have undergone new "remastering" that have suffered because of the loudness war. So let me repeat that. You're source CDs should either be from a flea market or other pre-owned music store. All other newer CDs may burn in a ball of fire. God willing.

Assuming you're in an AD domain with MS workstations, through GPO you can define the ability to lock the screen when a screen saver kicks in.

Intent. Terrorists actively target women and children where as with US combat units, they're casualties of war.
I can't believe anyone had to ask this silly stupid question. But it begged for a rational answer. So there you go. Now you know.
