They are worried about all the bugs that we send out into space on our probes. The bugs arriving at a different planet will have no natural enemies and can procreate freely and outcompete local life.
Time to build an EMP device. They can be made in the size of a suitcase, just walk by van and fire it. But don't wear any electronic device since it will be toast.
One important factor here is that I have heard from an unconfirmed source that the TSA personnel isn't permitted to wear radiation badges anymore - but that the body scanners do use radiation to scan, so this is a bit interesting.
Duct tape at Home Depot, Shovel at Sears, pay cash.
But what do you need a shovel for?
I can think of several alternatives:
- Drop of body in a location where there are bears and wolves.
- Open a manhole cover, drop down the body into the sewer system.
- Drop body from a bridge or into the sea. (a naked body showing up at the beach is not always conclusive to be a murder victim - especially during the summer.)
- Leave body in the desert.
- Locate a cement factory, throw body into the kiln. (this will definitely take care of all traces of a body)
- Build a special trailer which you mount the body under, drive on remote highway during dark hours lowering the trailer to slowly grind off the body against the highway. Traces of the body over several tens of miles. Do this right before a rain and the traces will get washed away. Burn the trailer afterward.
- Place body in derelict building, burn building.
- Use a considerable amount of explosives, blow the body into pieces.
- Butcher the body into unrecognizable pieces, leave pieces at local butcher. (don't eat sausage from that butcher for a while)
And always make sure that the body is completely naked - no clothes will make identification harder. DNA will still require something to match the body to, and to match a specific body to the large number of missing persons can be tough.
Reality is that there are always local accounts for the operating system services etc. on any computer (virtual or not) and disabling the local accounts is effectively the same thing as cutting off the branch you are sitting on the day something goes wrong.
The problem for small to medium sized businesses is that the IT guy(s) are key players. You have maybe one or two persons that do know the system thoroughly and without their knowledge you won't even be able to read back any backup of your documents, which means that your off site tape archive may be completely useless.
And hiring more - that's a cost that can go up without creating any special benefit except for the day someone gets upset.
From your opinion it does look like you never have been working at an IT department at all - and don't have a clue about it. It also seems to me that they do have a reason to act like spoiled brats considering your attitude towards them. Maybe they have deleted your stash of porn?
Always work through people's unsecured access points.
A proxy node that has wireless access through an unsecured AP in one part of the world allows you to access it from another part of the world, and having a proxy set up inside a major company network can be a benefit too. And use TOR too just to make things even trickier.
Then access the entry AP from a long distance away using a Cantenna.
Of course - all data traffic needs to be encrypted except for the last hop. Add random time delays in the proxies to mess with data correlation too. Mail enters proxy, waits for a few minutes up to an hour and then bounce to the next proxy to finally arrive at destination. Patience is a virtue.
What you really should care about when it comes to IT department is to keep them happy. The cost compared to what can happen when an employee is disgruntled is minor.
And even if you remove/change all passwords - are you sure that there isn't a backdoor somewhere? Especially in a system like Active Directory where login accounts can be "hidden" anywhere in the tree. Also - some accounts can't change password easily since there are services that may depend on them - or that the password also is the encryption key. It's just a ticking time bomb in some cases.
Some of you may claim "You are doing it wrong" when you depend on "unchangeable" passwords - but in some cases there are interdependencies that causes that kind of problem. And the problems can be all the way from a background task that locks the system account because it uses the old password to encryption key based on the password for the backup solution. In some cases it's caused by the third-party software that you use.
Only if the scheme is that there's no third party involved being the CA.
CA = Man In The Middle.
But if one of the end points is CA at the same time then you have a reasonable security - provided that the CA certificate isn't spoofed when it's exchanged.
However - it also depends on the assumption that the encryption isn't cracked so that the private keys are exposed.
Sometimes a processor works just fine at a lower clock frequency but fails at a higher, and then instead of scrapping them you can sell them cheaper and improve your income.
A software upgrade of a processor may actuallty be a changed microcode where the scheduling of some stuff is altered to improve performance. Shaving a clock cycle in a relatively common operation can do a lot for performance.

Black vans means black body radiation.

And the alternative - that's some Tea Party?
Personally I would say that C++ is a lot more cryptic than Java, even though I'm very familiar with C.
But for native coding I would say that it may be useful to look at other languages too - like Fortran.
Even if the game is something that you can improve on during each iteration?
A relatively short game that has new paths every time you run it, like Civilization, Card Games or Tetris can be good and worth their money too.
And then - explain why Apple really felt the need to attack Samsung using a lawsuit?
If a product is bad it will just result in the situation where nobody buys it.

No, I'd say that you should use RFC 6214 instead.
Only that they won't be available in the US.
But how many of the granted patents are useful in reality?
Time for a check into what the reality is among almost every company.
I'm sure that you are about as popular as cholera at your workplace - even though people around you won't admit it in public.
Reality is that there are always local accounts for the operating system services etc. on any computer (virtual or not) and disabling the local accounts is effectively the same thing as cutting off the branch you are sitting on the day something goes wrong.

He's still using a dial-up modem.
Or possibly he's using RFC 6214.
https over https over https...
Every layer signed by a different CA.
The performance would get "interesting".
Or if you are in a country that's chewing on the human rights - heck, almost every country can be on that list for what we know.
And some countries may even have the power to spoof the DNSSEC info.
And how do you know that the Verisign (or whatever) CA certificate you have is authentic?
Only if the scheme is that there's no third party involved being the CA.
CA = Man In The Middle.
But if one of the end points is CA at the same time then you have a reasonable security - provided that the CA certificate isn't spoofed when it's exchanged.

That's a great idea for everyone from China to Syria.

How much comes from overclocking, and how much comes from better microcode?
Now we just have to name that phobia.
No - just the duct tape suit barely covering anything.
