Right before I quit working for a particular manager at my former employer (who liked to have people track their time in stupid increments, and expected your tracked time to == 8+ hrs) I started entering my time spent tracking my time spent tracking my time spent taking a dump; and other assorted bits. Hilarity ensued when he used *MY* entries in a staff meeting as an example to other employees as a model of using the system accurately.
Now, my PHB was old world Chinese and had the combo of "Better than the proles" attitude coupled with the "literal engrish translator" in his head. I took advantage of this, so my entries were things like:
6m removal of organic material from work area 6m timekeeping balancing 30m foo (real work) 30m bar (real work) 12m timekeeping entry and value balancing 24m research of syntax and lexical scope for data entry deliverables 6m paging in component data for analog photonic review (the boss is coming signal) etc.
The murmur of suppressed laughter was awesome. Happily I don't work for that prick anymore. No one I know does either anymore. Turnover was in the 50%/yr territory.
I have, but I live on a dead end street and the outage involved a car and the pole that fed my street... I'll give them a pass on that.
As to this issue: call in for "broken" Cu line (really just a yanked wire) and verify that the tech put on the wireless solution. have your house robbed and the alarm fail because it's not a land line. claim on your insurance and inform them why the alarm didn't work. Let your insurance company act as a force multiplier in the ensuing sueball against Verizon.
you can still correlate those nonces, yes? Solve Capcha get nonce use nonce at site A use nonce at site B use nonce at site C
At site A you divulge the nonce and component 1 of your identity at site B you divulge the nonce and component 2 of your identity at site C you divulge the nonce and component 3 of your identity across sites A:C you divulge a larger set of your writing style than at only one by its self.
Third party actor (not cloudflare) can use this to build your session info into an ID of you; assuming they already have a large data trove on you, then the smaller bits they captured from the nonce can be used to correlate this TOR session with your existing dataset.
did they just spin up a new government branch because of the OPM leak and said new branch just contracted with the same company responsible for the OPM breach?
Yo dawg, I heard you liked government in your breaches, so I added government to your government breaches.
There's plenty of times where this would be lawful *and* appropriate. e.g.: there is reasonable cause to suspect a group is planning a bank robbery. Turning on the On-Star tracking and mic in their getaway car is both lawful (assuming you get a warrant) and appropriate.
There are also (I suspect) vastly more inappropriate uses in those sealed dockets than there are appropriate ones.
Unsealing these as a mater of course would (IMHO) lower the inappropriate use only if when it's discovered it's followed up on with the individuals seeking and granting such use (fines, warning letters, dismissal). -nb
going to do a quick count of how many pwds I deal with at work:... 49. I have 49 separate pwds I need to know to do my job. of those *several* are in a one-note file that is on a secure server so others with the same need to know can remain synchronized. Three or four of these also require a SecurID or similar token. Only two are committed to memory.
some of my friends know me as "the chemist":) Those friends have guns (and are good with them). There is a group of about 20 of us that, while we may not be best mates we recognize each other's value in certain situations. Guns with requisite skill, gardening, wood carving, food preservation, etc. Everyone would have value to the whole.
*if* you didn't already use those services. I found that my kids and I almost never watched broadcast TV, but we used Netflix (and Amazon Prime to a much lesser extent) more than TV. It was so bad that we lost the remote control and no one cared. so I turned it all of, data only. Totally worth it. The only real difference is now when a series I really like hits one of the streaming services I don't get enough sleep because I binge, rather than DVR and watching (roughly) when it was broadcast. -nb
While I can respect your points, I *have* to disagree with you. What she did was not putting the company's interest first. What she did ensured that there would be a security *and* PR nightmare. Things like this never stay buried, they always come out eventually. That she denied a PWD reset because of being afraid people would leave is inexcusable. -nb
Can you provide links? Seriously, I (and I suspect many others) have a decent idea of the *concept* of quantum computers, but understanding actual application is... elusive.
I'm actually really torn. While I expect I'd be DQ'd for other reasons (I'm 6'1"/250lbs) I would love to volunteer, but don't want to abandon my kids. -nb
Your first two points are erroneous. You can have a readonly filesystem and still store user/pwd and congfigs. Since we're talking about embedded devices here, the flashrom with the OS is readonly (you can simply tie the WE# pin to Vcc and that flash is not writable *ever*. Config and other variable data can be stored in serial eeprom memory. Now obviously this gets into very constrained options. Assuming a 2048byte eeprom you have very little to work with, but it does allow the filesystem to be RO while allowing updateable configs.

Intel has a setup like that at several of their campuses.
I've seen it used *rarely* in spite of the dosh they blew on it.

or, just don't install the extension.

just sayin...
just how much snow and ice melting does it take to turn these into a net negative rather than positive generator of energy?
since to "make fast the ropes" is to tie them to the cleats, I would argue that in the case of nautical terms "the boat is fast" has only one meaning.
you mean Xenix?
It's been forever since I loaded that...

I'd like to point out that prosecutors are a subset of lawyers. As are judges.

that is only suitable for an idiot's luggage or atmospheric shield.
I'm guilty of the increment counter in pwds at work.
As to the SecurID token...
Co-worker has pwd and username on post-it on back of token...

it's not about the CPUs it's about the conversion back to analog:
http://www.analog.com/en/products/digital-to-analog-converters.html
as an example. The higher precision you go (from 8 bit up to 32 bit) the higher the cost.
