I haven't seen this feature enabled on the Comcast wireless router in my home. Of course, I live in an apartment complex with 300+ units. One more hotspot among hundreds will probably go unnoticed.
what i just saw was "ohh poor me, now i have an excuse to act better than everybody else, and lie every chance i get while trying to make it look like i know what im doing" ive seen a lot of your posts, theyre not hard to spot. maybe they werent too far off.
You must be a Trump supporter. I can tell by the nonsensical quality of your writing, lack of grammar and punctuation. Didn't your mother tell that ignorance isn't a virtue?
Nintendo probably didn't want a retro console to cut into sales of the new Switch, as they're the only console company that makes money off of the hardware.
Errr.... that sounds like a bad strategy, right there.
I read a study that the IT industry will have a shortage of 1M skilled IT workers in 2030. That's the year when all the baby boomers are supposed to be retired and most foreign workers have gone home. It's also the year when I'll be in my peak earning years of my career. When everyone and their grandparents rushed into healthcare as the new money major, I took computers instead. George W. also signed a $3,000 tax credit for people who want to change their careers. So going back to community college was free. As for my friends who dropped computers to go into healthcare, they make more money than I do but hate their jobs because all they do is wipe ass. Some of my best paying IT contracts were hospitals.
When I went back to community college to learn computer programming after the dot com bust, taking only the major courses required because I had an A.A. degree in General Education, I made the president's list for maintaining a 4.0 GPA in my major. I was also working 60+ hours as a video game tester and teaching Sunday school at the time. Going back to school as an adult was more fun then when I was younger.
One time I took the 7AM class for Harvard Calculus in 1994. If you're not familiar with Harvard Calculus, the textbook was all word problems and no mathematical symbols. I bailed out after the first week.Harvard Calculus never caught on. Thank God.
Let me get this straight... the training manager for Google used a Google server name as an example of a project name that shouldn't be used.
"Pussy Galore" was the code name for the server project.
And why would IT help desk even have training on acceptable project naming conventions?
Because Google has a ton of codenames for projects being developed. Some of those codenames get circulated through the help desk in one form or another from users. The earlier codenames weren't always work-place friendly.
Was this before or after your two year unemployment streak during the Great Recession?
I was working at eBay when I got let go on Friday the 13th, February 2009, and begin my two-year journey as a 99'er.
Dude, if you're going regal us with your life history in every slashdot post, you need to at least write out a self-consistent outline.
I find the reading comprehension of most asshats to be quite dismal even when they're not deliberately misrepresenting my positions.
I doubt it's any worse than being misdiagnosed as mentally retarded due to an undiagnosed hearing loss and getting treated like an idiot for eight years straight in Special Ed classes. When you're at the bottom of the hill, you learn how to deal with the shit that comes your way all the time.
Did you actually work for Google and see this server yourself?
I worked on the Google IT help desk in 2008 and I got tickets to push software out over the network from that server. If that didn't work, I would remote into the system to manually install the software.
Or is this some urban legend you picked from a government flunkie training manager?
You do realize that Google's system was named for a character in a James Bond novel (and movie), don't you?
That's not how the training manager explained it to us in 2008. It was used as an example of a project name that shouldn't be used because of the sexual connotations.

It's like DOUBLE SECRET PROBATION! It should be obvious when you know about it.
I live in an apartment complex with 300+ units. The 2.4GHz wireless is dead slow between 7PM and 2AM. Less interference on the 5GHz wireless.
So the police would be able to know where the person was, and which virgin media account they were using.
An attorney might argue that the customer was an accessory to a crime by not opting out of this "feature."

Let's not forget the British spying on the Trump campaign.

Does the ISP assume liability if someone uses your Wi-Fi for illegal purposes?

I was looking forward to getting this console but haven't found a store that had them in stock. Now I'm pissed.
You're still a weirdo who thinks expletives matter.
That's a problem for what reason?
Errr.... that sounds like a bad strategy, right there.

I had a biology class like that. The night before the final exam, I read the 1,200-page biology textbook in 12 hours. I got a B for that course.

You're lucky you didn't grow up where I did.

you're what's wrong with this country in a nutshell.
As a moderate conservative, I didn't vote for Trump.
Success is fine. Corporate espionage/subversive behavior is not.
You're not familiar with the American character then.

Pull your head out of your ass.
I'm not the one denying reality.
I've seen Silicon Valley taxi cabs with Uber and Lyft stickers on them.
I remember a time not long ago when many slashdotters were in love with Uber, and it could do no wrong. Kind of like Tesla fans are now.
America loves the underdog as long as the underdog doesn't get too successful.
OK, I'll bite. What's your preferred pronunciation?
Not pronouncing it all in a workplace environment.
Did you actually work for Google and see this server yourself?
I worked on the Google IT help desk in 2008 and I got tickets to push software out over the network from that server. If that didn't work, I would remote into the system to manually install the software.
Or is this some urban legend you picked from a government flunkie training manager?
Your anti-government bias is making you stupid.
Ask United Airlines.
Which is why Ian Fleming used the name.
Perfect for fiction. Not so perfect for the workplace, especially with the younger guys pronouncing it Pussy Galore.
You do realize that Google's system was named for a character in a James Bond novel (and movie), don't you?
