No, I'm like the three-day-a-week-at-the-gym old guy with cholesterol hovering around 190 fending off his doctor who is desperate to get him on the stations to reduce that, without any current research or trials to support there premise.
Go look it up. Cholesterol level doesn't correlate well wiith heart disease, previous studies having been contradicted.
And statins are not without undesirable side effects..
The amateurs I was referring to were the many previous posters railing against block by default, as if they need Facebook, Twitter, and Slashdot to do any work.
The standard 'my idiot boss told me to...' Is a convenient rhetorical device to dilute meaningful discussion. Bleagh.
"Don't trust your internal users" means exactly what it says. Your users are a potential threat. Anti-malware tactics need to face both outwards and inwards.
First, what are you protecting? Is your corporate data that precious and attractive that you fear being compromised and the whole of it being taken and sold? Do you store PII? If data such as credentials for banking and financials being stored on your internal network? If so, then you have a substantial liability, and some data loss prevention and malware detection and disablement is necessary.
Second, do you have any regulatory, legal, or contractual requirements to prevent data loss? If so, prevention is necessary.
Last, do you want to avoid being held hostage to an attack of an encrypting malware? More dittos then.
All this complaining that you shouldn't be impeding business, that you're a megalomaniac desiring only power and control, and accusing you of being an idiot ignores potentially valid and compelling business reasons to prevent intrusions and losses. I'm well aware of these threats, but I work for aab Fortune 100 financial services company, and the regulatory requirements alone demand we block by default and monitor data incoming and outgoing.
Oh, and intrusion detection needs to be in your plans.
Don't listen to the amateurs. Block by default, require business justification and offer a risk assessment for all exception requests, monitor and report suspicious activity. Don't trust your internal users. Segment wherever possible. Plan for failure. Exercise recovery plans. Due diligence.
I've rented apartments to several felons, mostly those convicted of violating protective orders. As in their separated wife made a booty call unexpectedly and then reported the incident. Jail. Also the three-timer DUIs. Those I actually love, they all have given me their pastor's name and the meetings they go to.
They are all incredibly appreciative of a clean place to live, no BS.
This kid might, maybe, petition for court for expungement in several years, but I doubt he can convince a judge he's just stupid kid.
Send the cable co a letter, certified, return receipt required, explaining things with dates of calls. Ask them to acknowledge that your wife does not live in their service area, state that you and your wife own no property in this area, and that you will not honor any billing unless that changes.
Asking them to prevent your wife's email from being used is probably pointless. But notifying them that this is happening, in writing, and warning them you will not pay a bogus bill is a start.
Don't threaten legal action. Just as you don't warn a bully you're going to punch them in the mouth, if they do bully you buy them hard. No other warning but this letter..
Doing ask me about my first checking account, at the same bank as my sister had one. Our SSNs are one digit different... I can't wait to see what happens when I apply for benefits...
You lied if you intended for us to believe you were being accurate.
You made a careless mistake anyways, either if you intended us to believe you were trying to be accurate, or if you were actually trying, but of course, didn't...
And after all this, you could be forgiven. Just not by us.
Actually, this and parent skirt a real issue of employment, education, and welfare in the U.S.
- We are permitting the illegal immigration of unskilled, under educated Central, South, and Latin American immigrants, along with Mexican immigrants, to come to American and compete for the worst jobs.
- Despite lower employment, we continue to do this.
- Even if we take up the challenge and offer education to these immigrants, they will only compete further up the social ladder. And more under educated will come, since we lack the will to control the influx.
- English is not their preferred language. This not only costs in providing bilingual resources, but it causes resentment and risks discrimination.
Some skills in America are valued, and intelligent people seek those skills, or they accept less value for the skills they do choose. Since manufacturing has largely left the US, those work skills (work as in physical labor) are not so much in demand. Information technology is taking up that slack, but those skills are too often found in legal immigrants under programs such as the H1B visa program, and Americans lose out again.
The labor force participation rate is a telling statistic, dropping from 66+% in 2008 to 62.5% today. Those workers no longer in the workforce didn't just disappear. They are still eating, living somewhere, and are doing so at the expense of someone else. So long as we permit illegal immigration to continue largely uncontrolled, we keep adding workers to a marketplace that has too many already.
Higher employment might make a number of other solutions to other problems possible, but in the current economic situation we are doomed to continue deficit spending and a further plunge into debt. No way out without the economy improving.
And even then, the will to say 'no' to the hands out looking for a paycheck for nothing is critical. And unlikely to happen given the current political situation, either.
A 9v battery and steel wool is a winner also. If I had to build a survival kit for long-term use, I would have these items in it. And paperclips. And a solar charger for a USB battery. Among all the other stuff, like a magnesium firestarter as a backup.
Most FM Radios uses a 10.7MHz IF, so 10.7 MHz up or down on the tuning dial you had a chance of interfering with a station. Both radios would have to be virtually unshielded.
AM radios typically used 455kHz. Just as much fun.
Actually, my first Android phone, a G1, is my TV remote. Keeping it plugged in all the time except when I'm watching TV is a pain, and the battery now lasts about long enough for an evening of TV.
It's running Cyanogen and a lameass remote app that can learn my wacko RCA TV, the Centurylink set top, H-K receiver, and CD player.

And focus on the global warming. Exclusively. Without deviation.
He didn't need to order the troops out. What he could have done was to order the prisoners sent elsewhere.
that's what everyone seems to want. The troops can stay there until they need Gitmo for something else. Which they will.
It would turn my commute from a 40 minute exercise to a 4 hour agony.
Each way.
Not what I had in mind. Thanks anyways.

I do not think that word means what you think it means.
CONSERVATIVE and REPUBLICAN are not synonyms, and haven't been for a while.
You know nothing about the technology behind this, and you, um. What?
You don't need to change a word. Where are they? On the Internet? Where?
Not a lot of Republicans in Canada...

Sentences are also deterrents. His buds will know better, the id10ts trolling gamers will know better, less trouble all the way around.
The poster asked a question. I offered an answer. Did you miss that?

Nothing about justice should be original. It hasn't changed in centuries...

If you regulate it when minimally, problem solved.
If you put it out in the open, maybe problem solved.
If you grow only for yourself, not enough to steal, problem solved.
If you keep growing in the basement, well, hard to say. Where I used to ski, problem not solved.
In winter, we sometimes tried to make an antenna out of snow drifts. No, not very good performance, but the tubes sure glowed a pretty color.
