i'm sorry but civil engineers design and build may things that would never want someone who was not a "engineer" to do, starting with builds, bridges, dams.
Furthermore, what other available tablet offers much better battery life?
Not so much tablet or better - but i get 10 hours of usable battery life from my laptop - and i can assure you that i'm far more productive with it then i could ever be with a tablet.
If it was me - after the company doesn't bother to recognize it - i'd contact the Credit Card clearing house (Visa/MC/AMex) that they use.. Anyone who is processing and storing CC info has to comply with PCI DSS. If you can get access to card info then they are out of compliance, and are subject to have their merchant account deactivated, charges seized, and pay fines.
The CC companies don't (Normally) play around with it. Contact them and inform them of the situation, IF (AND ONLY IF) they need it provide them a proof of concept CODE/Method only, DO NOT grab card numbers and send them to them as an example, let the CC company evaluate your proof of concept and see if they can access CC numbers.
This method seems to work (has in the past) to get people to fix their holes.. As for them actually becoming a more responsible company after this, well hell never has been a cold place..
you where like me - work hard and be in the right spot and experience will trump a degree. but for the other 95% of the people in IT they have to have very specialized training that is only usable in that field (think x years in specific language and setting) - and here lately the pay rates have not been nearly as good as in the past (doe to influx of cheap labor in the field)
my biggest issue with most corps and IT is that for the good jobs they want people to already know everything - no one is willing to train anymore, this makes it every difficult for someone to get an IN into a different area of IT and grow.
i don't think you get it -.. for odd unique tools and things visual inspection and bomb swabbing is the right way to do it - for a common mas produced device they should not be calibrating it with a sample of questionable origin.. If your security process is willing to except them calibrating equipment based on samples of unknown origin then that process is flawed and useless.
What good is doing bomb swabbing if the equipment isn't calibrated to check for explosives?
which reinforces one law for the rulers and one law for the ruled.. i can assure you that if the person the officer sprayed had done that to the officer or even retaliated in the exact same manner (pepper spraying the officer) that person would be doing jail time and there wouldn't be any questions about it.
by not prosecuting the officers and not punishing them for the crime you are giving other officers a very real affirmation that they can get away with the same actions.
because you only pay once.. aka.. you prepay through Groupon and only pay 10$ for a 20$ good/service. then you go Redeem your already paid for service.
Companies that lose vast amounts of money with Groupon can't do math - at most i'd ever do with them would be to drop prices to my cost or just over the cost. People are looking for deals - and zero markup is a deal and doesn't hurt anyone. Undercutting your costs gives a false sense of value to a good/service and would just make the customer think your normal prices are marked up even more.
i know when i was growing up - that was the reason i never bothered to get it - not that i couldn't do it but rather the time needed to practice to get my speed up wasn't worth it.
So how do you "secure" an OS and still allow users to run whatever they want to?
easy - you let them do what ever they want and when their not looking you reverse all the changes you don't like (aka all).. so let them do what they want - just don't keep anything.
right - but this is supposed to be security, something that (if you believe the people pushing it) is preventing passengers from death.. is it really too much trouble to have an actual chain of custody for calibrating the one and only check point for it? we have more stringent requirements for day to day police evidence gathering.
It's not so much that it happened once.. but that it happens at all. If the people of "Questionable Intent" know that this is policy - then they will just make a point of being one of the first ones at a major airport with a modified version of the new "thing to have" device - and make it look right.. then they will have zero trouble getting through.
But again this is security theater so we know that really isn't a problem.. But really if your going to do security do it right..
If a C-Corp is going to be treated as a sole proprietorship if it has only one stake holder then they should not allow you to file c-corp papers with only one stake holder.
If a single stake holder c-corp is treated as a sole proprietorship for taxes then it should also be done for liabilities - both of which are main factors why people file s/c corp papers.
except Secure boot is part of UEFI windows Secure boot relies on the implementation of secure boot in UEFI - if your not using it in UEFI then you where doing it wrong to start with and therefor didn't break anything.
you could do that with a VM.. but it wouldn't be considered compromising secure boot for UEFI all they did was boon via MBR/BIOS and load a root kit that fooled the OS into thinking it was booted via UEFI and Secure boot.
Now if the OS was orginaly actual booting via UEFI + secure boot and they could do this without having physical access to the box THEN it would be a new story - but this is just someone changing a bios setting and writing a bootloader - whoopdydoo.
well if it's not valid to do an S-Corp with only one shareholder then they need to change the rules for making an S-Corp not decide that the law they wrote doesn't apply in this case (tax laws).
Also considering that Steve Jobs maintained 50.1% of until 2006 when he traded stock with Disney. You can argue that he was a sole owner/operator as he can call any shot he wants, Or at least treat them as a a LP - One partner is Jobs and the other partner the rest of the world.
If they are going to selectively apply the law and skip over it when it doesn't help them - then as far as i'm concerned it is a one law for the rulers and another for the ruled.

i'm sorry but civil engineers design and build may things that would never want someone who was not a "engineer" to do, starting with builds, bridges, dams.
my favorite part about that is they often over look a real Mr. R because he doesn't have the normal look of the slick C level guy.
i will fully agree with that - but for me, if i can't be productive with it, i don't need it.
Furthermore, what other available tablet offers much better battery life?

wish i had mod points right now - this is exactly the root of a lot of problems we have in the US.

Norton Corporate Edition used to be on the same level as MSE is now.. but then they went and bloated it.. now we push MSE.

so they taught/calibrated a security device with a sample of unknown and questionable origin.. yeap.. sounds like security theater to me.
the person with 2 domains isn't subsidizing anyone.. that person who isn't using it is still paying for it in taxes ..
but wouldn't it be fair that each person could register a single site without a fee? and that fees should be applied to domains after the first?
if you believe that the only compensation they receive is 1$ a year you are wrong.

that was a very good movie..
Agreed - that's my first question.. looks like they "defeated" secure boot by not using it to start with.
