Once, when I was out of my home town and needed a crossover cable, I decided to just buy a set of crimpers and bulk cable to make my own. I figured I could always use the extra cable and crimpers at home.
After over 2 days of searching, the only place that had Cat5 (not even Cat5e) in bulk, and 8p8c ends, was an electrical contractor supply store. That wouldn't sell to someone without a local permit.
Moral of the story: you can't always make your own.
(Of course here in Europe there's a due notice so you have plenty of paid time to find a new job, but still..)
Well, here in the U.S., there is no such thing. Most states have an "at will" law, which basically means you can be fired at any time, for any or no reason, and with no severance pay. Due to the complete lack of laws regulating vacation (many positions offer ZERO time off), you can't even count on being paid out for unused vacation.
When the paychecks stop at a moment's notice, and the economy is sluggish enough that it takes a few months to find another job that makes a living wage, tempers flare.
Any company laying off root-access people will have to imprison them in order to stay completely safe. It would far less time for me to drive home than it would take for most companies to change all the passwords, reconfigure remote access, and clear out any backdoors that may be in place.
Remind me again why IT personnel don't get the "golden handshake" that is customary with CEO-types who can bring down the company on a whim once they're gone?
Affecting a political outcome and changing the policies of your government is NOT a fucking hobby. If you want change you need to put forth commitment and while this might not be a full-time job, it is a second job at the very least.
So, if I understand you right, you are saying that unless one spends 30+ hours per week knee-deep in political analysis, then that person should not even vote?
Hey dude. If you're going to talk smack about a politician's lack of knowledge, you might try to spell "than" properly. You come off as an angry 14-year-old who hasn't the faintest clue what's going on.
How about a couple of facts?
1) GP's author is not a native English speaker. 2) I don't see "than" or "then" anywhere in the GP. 3) I have yet to see someone in this thread "talk smack" about any politician.
If you're going to burn karma, at least make it worth it. Perhaps, try replying to the correct post. Otherwise, you come off as an angry 14-year-old who hasn't the faintest clue what's going on.
In the US, or at least in my state, small claims court does not allow legal representation in court. You can consult an attorney before or after, but you must represent yourself in court.
I think this was designed to combat the very issue you speak of, but I may be wrong.
A signed SSL certificate can be had for as little as 15 dollars per year. That's one vente mocha latte (whipped cream and caramel, please) per 4 months.
Apparently Perspectives works around the Firefox wolf-crying. Sounds cool to me.
Firefox 3 cries wolf because it's true. Self-signed certificates are a security risk to virtually any normal user. If a web developer is too lazy or cheap to get a real certificate, I can only begin to imagine how lazy or cheap they are with the rest of their security posture.

It's not so I can be 'clean' and 'pure' ... it's so that when I do swear, people know I'm not fucking around.
I think you may have just changed my life a little.
I believe the images in urban areas are taken with airplanes. The 50cm limit only applies to satellites in orbit.

Your statement offers nothing. It has no information, and no credibility. At least the GP offers something, yours is but a flame.
Go back to trolling in Digg.
You want you data secured? Keep it on a secure server somewhere. Access it in a way that doesn't leave copies on your phone.
So, how does one exactly go about dialing a number without leaving a trace on the phone?
Terry Childs has a CCIE. I doubt that he will have to look hard to find another job, even with what happened.

Offsides is offsides. He was very informative about the penalty.

It would be hard to prove intent, though.
much like 'axe'/'ax' instead of 'ask
So, in your observation, citizens of the United States speak African American Vernacular English?

In the comic, it's "DROP TABLE." In the summary, it's "DROP DATABASE."
Oh yes. Little Bobby Datas, we call him.
xkcd. Always relevant.
You can afford the hosting costs to maintain a website, yet you're too lazy or cheap to get a certificate signed by a third party?
Yes, yes, it warns you that you're sending encrypted traffic to an admin that is too cheap and/or lazy to get a certificate signed.
I know I sure as hell wouldn't send my data to someone like that.
PCStats' Shopping List is also a great resource, updated monthly.

What if you "found" that painting or book in the trash? What if you go looking for valuables in landfills?
