My friend and I recently posited that a single nuclear sub could pretty much take out most of the life on the planet. Anything that can remain submerged for 3 years under the arctic ice shelf and carries a couple of dozen ICBMs on it scares the living crap out of me.
Yeah that is kind of a basic sanity thing. We have taken it a step further and stopped doing deployments in the afternoon as well. Schedule it for first thing tomorrow morning so you have all day to work out the kinks.
If you can SSH from your desktop to the DB server without having to use a VPN it is considered in-scope for PCI.

PCI Compliance

Nope, what the OP described is exactly how we handled our PCI requirements. The corporate LAN is treated as a DMZ. Otherwise we would have had to install SNORT on every workstation, back up logs from every workstation, install trip wire on every work station to make sure log files are not altered. require two factor auth on every workstation, the list goes on.
PCI compliance is a HUGE PITA. I (thanks/.) actually understand how computer security should work, but IMHO PCI rules are specifically worded so that you are forced to contract it out to a "PCI certified" consultant for $200 an hour. The whole thing is a fucking scam.
In case anyone here doesn't quite understand the fundamentals of DNS here is how you would do this:
1. On the wireless access point you use to connect your Wii to the internet modify the DHCP server to hand out an IP address on your network for a DNS server.
2. Setup a DNS server at that IP (BIND, Windows DNS, etc)
3. Manually create a DNS entry for the following domain: oss.shop.wii.com
4. Use: 64.233.187.99 (google.com) for the A record
Now when you fire up the Wii and go to the shop channel you should be sent to google.com instead
(Note: I have a Wii but have not tried this yet, I am at work, but I will as soon as I get out of here)
I think this is cool. If half of the people who watch fox news found out about what their goverment is really doing then maybe they will stand up and do something about it.
Wouldn't it be great if they added a big fucking "Email your congressmen about this issue - using your gMail account" button at the top of every article?

Yeah man. Lost has what, 4 eppisodes per month? so thats $2 per show x 4 =$8/month to watch lost. I am paying like $60/mo for fucking cable and there is nothing ever on! I could get Lost, Prison Break, Surviror, and Numb3rs for $32/month and watch them with no comercials, anywhere I want to. If I wasn't too cheep to buy the Video IPod...
> As a Canadian you're already living in a US puppet state that mainly serves to ship natural resources to the US.
No, not realy. If they wanted our natural resources to much they wouldn't put tarrifs on softwood so high that its more profitable to ship wood to china than across the border. Canada is more like that guy on survior that you are friendly with right up till the end because you know he is going to be the easiest to take out.

Or a raise.
So if present is just "no, with an explanation" why not just vote NO and give an explanation?
Look out, the 1's and 0's are coming to get you! They hate you for your freedoms!

I have noticed this effect before. My theory is that Google indexes all of the RSS feeds that people have on their customized homepages.

Best video ever!
You guys are so fucked. No oversight, no probable cause. Land of the free eh? Good luck with that.
Thats fine. Let them try to sue her children then. It worked SO well the last time they tried that stunt.

The book you are speaking of is titled: State of Fear and is one of the best books I have read recently./ dp/0066214130
http://www.amazon.com/State-Fear-Michael-Crichton
It paints a very diffrent view of what is really happening in terms of climate change.
From Publishers Weekly:
If Crichton is right-if the scientific evidence for global warming is thin; if the environmental movement, ignoring science, has gone off track; if we live in what he in his Author's Message calls a "State of Fear," a "near-hysterical preoccupation with safety that's at best a waste of resources and a crimp on the human spirit, and at worst an invitation to totalitarianism"-then his extraordinary new thriller may in time be viewed as a landmark publication, both cautionary and prophetic. If he is wrong, then the novel will be remembered simply as another smart and robust, albeit preachy, addition to an astonishing writing career that has produced, among other works, Jurassic Park, Rising Sun, Disclosure and The Andromeda Strain. Crichton dramatizes his message by way of a frantic chase to prevent environmental terrorists from wreaking widespread destruction aimed at galvanizing the world against global warming. A team lead by MIT scientist/federal agent John Kenner crosses the globe to prevent the terrorists from calving a giant Antarctic iceberg; inducing terrible storms and flash floods in the US; and, using giant cavitators, causing a Pacific tidal wave. Behind the terrorists lurks the fantatical, fund-seeking chief of a mainstream environmental group; on Kenner's team, most notably, is young attorney Peter Evans, aka everyman, whose typically liberal views on global warming chill as Kenner instructs him in the truth about the so-called crisis. The novel is dense with cliffhangers and chases and derring-do, while stuffed between these, mostly via Kenner's dialogue, is a talky yet highly provocative survey of how Crichton thinks environmentalism has derailed. There are plenty of ready-to-film minor characters as well, from a karate-kicking beauty to a dimwitted, pro-environmentalist TV star who meets one of the nastiest fates in recent fiction. There's a lot of message here, but fortunately Crichton knows how to write a thriller of cyclonic speed and intensity. Certainly one of the more unusual novels of the year for its high-level mix of education and entertainment, with a decidedly daring contrarian take, this take-no-prisoners consideration of environmentalism wrapped in extravagantly enjoyable pages is one of the most memorable novels of the year and is bound to be a #1 bestseller.

Whats with all the "white" comments thrown into your post?
Or have you never seen a non-white person live in suburbia?
If you want to rant about yuppies in the suburbs thats fine, but why make it a racial issue?

As a Canadian I fear the day the US runs out of trees and fresh watter. I'm not kidding.
