If he firewalls, they will get a "message undeliverable" from their own mailserver, since it can't connect to his mailserver to hand the message off. The message won't dissappear from their local mail queue just because he's bit-bucketing the packets that are trying to establish connection.
Not at all. I have amblyopia (lazy eye) in my right eye, and therefore it's natural for me to use my left eye on camera viewfinders, and I've never found it awkward.
Seriously, is this guy is supposed to be an expert?
This is like having a fuel efficiency expert tell you to turn the motor off on your car, stick it in neutral, and push it, since it'll get infinite MPG. Passwords are supposed to be secret. Usernames aren't as critical.
A very common and painful situation. We have a few that are like that as well.
Luckily our security team has a high enough clout that they're putting the screws to the app maintainers of these broken IE-6 only webapps, and making them fix them to work with IE7 and IE8.
Pour it in to METAL containers (coffee cans are ideal, as long as they're not cheap cardboard-walled ones). Let it cool then cap it and store it, slowly filling the container (or quickly, depending on how much bacon you eat...).
When near full, put the container in the trash. Done and done.
Exactly. When I connect (using Checkpoint, but most other VPN software will do it as well) it changes the resolver configs on my system so that now I'm using the internal company DNS.
If his VPN solution doesn't offer this to him, he needs to get one that does.
If you just want to screw with them, by making them lock on to your AP where they can't do anything, then it doesn't matter what the topology is. It's kind of hard to get them to plug in to your false network jack, though.
Yeah, for a while there our defrag was scheduled to start at 1 AM, and the full virus scan at 1:05 AM.
What admin thought the defrags would be completed within 5 minutes, I'll never know. You could kill the defrag if you had local admin, thankfully, but if you didn't everything would stretch out to two hours of painfully slow processing.
Exactly. You want complaints, you start making the person's PC defrag and patch while they're trying to work.
Of course, nothing sucks quite so bad as being the poor bastard working the nightshift when all that crap kicks off via domain policies, and you can't abort them.
That also tends to be an easier thing to make happen because it's a bit here and a bit there, rather than a $50,000 price tag to bring every single system in to compliance.
$1,500/mo slips in to the noise; $50K makes itself seen.
The TOS change just recognized that when you click "delete my account", your data is still on the backup tapes from the previous days. They're not going to load up every single damned tape and edit them just because a person has removed their account. It's technically impossible, and a nightmare from a data reliability standpoint.
Hating poorly made mass market stuff sure; but that's not specific to fruitcake. Anything that's overproduced and sits for too long will be unpalatable.
Fruitcake is heavy and sweet, sure, but that's why it's a decadent holiday treat rather than an all-year item. I love a good fruitcake!
Spoken like somebody who's never needed to pay the astronomical roaming charges or put up with the hideous interference and quality loss on a voice call.
Sometimes text is faster and cheaper, because you're not spending 90% of the call going "What? Please repeat!"

Yes, many times, and each time it's shot down based on the liability issues around forcibly patching other people's computers without their consent.
So your laptop has multiple monitor connections on the back?
For me, that's the main thing a dock provides; both VGA and DVI, so that I can run multiple monitors.
Why take away a perfectly good, easy to use menu and replace it with that shit-tastic ribbon concept?
OK, you first.
Shoulder surfing.

It may be that once they hit 90% of the session limits, that it starts killing off the longest-idle sessions.
They encourage them to move closer in, in the same city. They're not routing people, just moving them around.

Depends what useful is.

How many football fields worth of solar panels will you let me stick out over the front and back of it? ;)

I far prefer the Seven Habits of Highly Effective Pirates.
Facebook presumably does tape backups.

No the summary says they introduced zero watt displays LAST YEAR. The new thing that's going to be introduced is a zero-watt PC.

No kidding.
I once installed Oracle via the GUI when I was in Vancouver and the Linux server in Seoul.
It should have taken 20 minutes - it took over 10 hours. All screen redraw delays. I learned how to do it non-interactively after that.
Quite simply, because they want instant results when the polls close.
One-way flap valves and an all-concrete central chimney; emergency locks on the flaps in case of fire alarm.
That should do the trick on preventing fire spread.
