I'm sure the radios they use don't likely have keys that change. I bet it would be good for years before it would stop working.
If I were really into organized crime this would be great. Police would think their communications are fairly safe from outside ears. I'd steal a police radio and listen in and they would have no idea I was able to listen to their communications.
True, this wouldn't help the guy listening for speeding traps or whatever, but this would be a boon for someone who is into a big heist (which is the exact scenerio they are worried about).
All that sounds good if the older employee has actually been working and continued learning for 20-30 years. I've worked with those guys. I've also worked with a lot of 50-60 year olds who are lazy, graduated college in the 60/70s, haven't bother learning anything new in 20 years, and are coasting for the next 10 years to retirement. They feel like their time in entitles them to big bucks while they are not even as productive as a 20 something. I've worked with more of the latter than the earlier.
air conditioners, bathrooms, water pipes a floor above can start to leak. Sometimes those need to be dealt with quickly to contain.
As far as fire, haven't you ever seen the dukes of hazard? They could shoot bows and arrows with dynamite on the ends and blow things up and catch them on fire.
you are mistaken. Most people believe the pat downs make them safer. I bet half would not approve if eliminating them. It doesn't matter if it is true or not, just the perception.
Dear Slashdot, Where I work they only pick up trash 3 times a week. I wanted my wastebasket cleaned daily so I contracted it out to a servce on my own dime. I had a key cut and gave it to the service and needed to get a building security code from the building management and was "taken aback" when they didn't instantly give full building access to the 3rd party I contracted. My office is in a bank safe and don't understand why I can't grant anyone access I like using my home grown vetting process. I clearly told management that I didn't authorize the service to steal any of the money in the safe. Any ideas on how to circumvent management?
Did I mention that I know security. I worked in the Navy 25 years ago and watch NCIS a lot.
How hard is it to use different code words. If I were the govt listening on my people, I'd rather listen to them in full without trying to hide it. That seems easier to know who to track and beat down. If you drive the protestors underground, then it makes it harder to tell who is behind the rebellion and quash teh organizers. Lots of people talk, few can organize. Silence the organizers and you are 99% there.
"They said they would not unrestrict our account unless we authorized PayPal to withdraw funds from our organization's checking account by default"
Set up an account that only has PayPal deposits in it. Transfer that money daily to another account they do not have access to. At the wost, paypal can only take back the money they have deposited for that day. Problem solved and everyone's happy.
I"m with you. I understand some authors write stories with built in meaning for the reader to interpret. I also believe lots of authors just write books, and due to the volume of text, a book that is 200-500 pages may have lots of unintended interpretable meaning. I always hated english teachers that had to assign meaning to every last minute aspect of a book assuming it represented some deeper meaning.
I quit skewl in the 2nd grade adn never looked back. I would have got As anyways and can read and cipher like a mofo. I make over $150k/year and have sex with several different women a day.Rulez aRE for lozers whom can't get their own acts together. Everyone is smarts enough to miss 50% of scool and still be smarter than average.
"For every redneck idiot out there, there is a white lab coat idiot out there."
I think there are a lot more redneck idiots that white lab coat idiots. Only about 22% of americans have earned a Bachelor's degree and I doubt there are may white lab coat types without a degree.
Is it wrong to help move jobs from one geographic location to another. What if they were trying to move the call center from expensive New York City to cheaper Mississippi? Would that be wrong?
I'm with you. 5% is one in 20 people! That is a lot. I can see throttling the top 1% or 0.5% and maybe stopping a lot of abuse while not affecting most of its customer base. To plan to do this to 5% is surprising.

Government has an obvious advantage. Can you carry a firearm wherever you go? Can you imprision people or put them on trial?
I've seen a lot of hate speech against Casey Anthony. No one seems to care about that.

I don't know about you, but I don't usually work 24 hours a day for 833 consecutive days.

I wonder if this includes storing logs. With logs you can go back in time and figure out when events happened.
I am surprised that no one has suggested the easiest solution would be for the person to get a new wife who is Apple friendly.
"Let's just say strong ties to law enforcement. Really can't say much more than that."
Nothing projects confidence in law enforcement and those with "strong ties" like statements like above.
I wonder if the illeterate could claim they weren't informed properly.

Are you serious? Google is all about collecting as much information as possible. Do you think they throw anything away?
