I call bullshit on this. The guy was probably an asshole, or he made a comment about the size of the ass of some VIP, and someone started to look for reasons to fire him. Uncovering fake credentials is a classic move in that situation (but planting coke or kiddie porn in the guy's office is usually more expedient).
Random certification check after the person is hired? Nah.
I was just chatting with a server admin here and they don't know the difference between a switch and router
And you wonder why you always end up seated at the losers table for the office Christmas party. Or why there's a faint smell of fart in your cubicle when you come back from lunch.
You must be one of those people who liked the oily, whiny wimp who played Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars episodes 2 and 3. That's like the bad boy version of Justin Bieber.
Shame on you, and on the next three generations in your family.
The real issue is uninformed cloud bashing comments. They are so numerous nowadays that they clog the internet pipes and prevent ecommerce traffic to go thru.
How can you say you are familiar with a product line that has FIVE computer models and not know that one of them is round? And it's not like you would have had to break into their secret R&D center to find out, the thing can be found in ONE CLICK on their fucking website.
You should revisit every single thing you think you are pretty familiar with.You may also want to reconsider situations where you felt people were taking weak cheap shots at something. Because fundamentally, your knowledge is weak and your ability to judge it is even weaker.
Have you ever worked on a big AIX box? The only reason to walk into the server room for someone managing those machines is to hide from a coworker who had bean burritos for lunch.
The only people against tools like systemd are the wannabes (network admins) who are nothing more than users with a better password (the real pros are coders who make tools for dolts like them, so they can actually function). Take away their puny little "knowledge" (an idiot can read some manuals and learn about IP + networking easily enough) with tools like systemd? These computing failure wannabes (network admins and their techs) fear for their livelyhoods. Yes, folks: It's TRULY that simple (+ yes, easy to see through).
Of course the real pros are coders. And of course that's a tough job to learn. That's why Obama, Bill Gates and others are pouring billions in projects that aim at teaching coding to everyone in high school. Dodge ball in the morning, java in the afternoon. Soon we will have an entire nation of real pros.
Typically, consumers downloaded a free, trial version of the software. The business analysts always identified numerous suboptimal business processes, whether they existed or not. Consumers were then told that in order to fix the problems they had to purchase the paid version of the software for between $290,000 and $490,000. In order to customize the software after the purchase, consumers were then directed to call a certified partners network and connected to consultants who tried to sell them unneeded upgrades and tools. The services could cost as much as $500 per hour.
...and you get a typical SAP implementation scenario.
No. Top Secret is different, usually it comes from a direct sponsorship and requires a specific type of background check. It is not an extension of the lower clearance levels. It also expires much quicker.
Expensive art is an investment, and it has become quite sophisticated over the years. In the 70s and 80s, people were buying art when they believed the value would go up over the next few years. Now, prospective buyers have to think about what people who may buy from them later on will think of their own potential buyers (etc.), because nobody is interested to be at the end of a buying chain and be stuck with an overpriced item. It's like the castle in the air theory on steroids - everybody knows that everybody else is in the business of buying to sell later, and the market goes nuts.
Not arguing against that, if you're referring to Monet masterpieces and its likes, but not the art any monkey could have done.
Modern art is like penny stock. Most of it is garbage (financially speaking) but a single hit can make you a fortune. A Monet painting is more like a blue chip. Low risk, low reward.
In summary, you're bad at this, and should feel bad.
You should put this kind of summary at the beginning of your posts. Readers would immediately know that whatever comes next is garbage. As it stands, one has to read 2-3 sentences before giving up, that's not as efficient.
They gave me a secret clearance and never used a ouija board or any other device, including a lie detector. Apparently they care more about people who missed a credit card payment than people who lie. Since most of the process is done without actively involving the candidate, I can understand that.
It's like those people who can pay millions for a white canvas with some red paint splattered onto it, something that took the "artist" 1 minute to do. And the "Elitist" will see and read just about anything into the "could-have-been-done-by-a-3-year-old" works of "art", and the poor misunderstood artist can live a lavish life on the emperors new clothes, and his kids too.
It's a lot more complicated than that. Expensive art is an investment, and it has become quite sophisticated over the years. In the 70s and 80s, people were buying art when they believed the value would go up over the next few years.

please tell us what is, in your informed opinion, a "people" worthy of being copied. Juniper? Avaya? HP? Huawei? Some obscure russian brand?

Who do you dislike the most:
1) Bennett
2) systemd
3) The switch rape girl
Of course, there's not a 1:1 mapping between user and IP. So it would be more accurate to describe it as familially identifying information.
Your mom's IP is so big, she needs two routing tables.

What's happened to /. this isn't about Ubuntu or RedHat?
Seriously? Ubuntu? If you were here as long ago as you imply, you'd be asking about Debian or Slackware.
Debian is for geezers. Real Slashdotters dig cool new distros, like Mandrake.
the decision has been made and it's time to move on. Accept it, fork it or move to something else but for god sake stop whining about it.
I disagree with your statement. Let's fork this discussion.

People who don't read Dilbert of XKCD are condemned to make the same jokes over and over.

Bobby, is that you?
Just change a few words and multiply the numbers:

No it's not. Confidential is the lowest, and the easiest to get. Secret requires more background checks.
If you consider that discussion trolling, maybe you need to do an internship on forums like reddit or 4chan.
A clearance is not agency-specific. Some agencies and/or organizations have additional internal classifications but that's not the same thing.
