I couldn't agree more. On top of what the op stated, I can't stand being literally stalked by a comsuck salesman from the second that I walk in the door. When BestBuy started allowing comcast people to follow you from point of entry to anywhere you went in the store in order to bug you about switching your non existant television service, I stopped shopping there. It was like I was being followed by a persistent pop-up that I couldn't turn off. Worst part about it was that I had to insult the salesman to get him to leave me be. A string of "No" and "leave me alone" did no good. I'll stick to amazon and Microcenter for when I need something fast.
Probably better to start with "Well, what are my assets?" What things are currently plugged into my network? What purpose do they serve in meeting the objectives of the business?
Once you know what is on your network, then you can start assessing what items are vulnerable. I've used NeXpose for vulnerability assessment as of late, but I'm sure there are other solutions, both proprietary and FOSS that can do the job. Many of these products will give you a total risk score and a CVSS score of the vulnerabilities on the system. Of course, I'd just start using these as a justification for more staff. You've got much larger problems than just security vulnerabilities. You've got infrastructure issues from the sound of it that need some serious man hours to fix. Use the security portion to light a fire under management's ass and get some new staff under you. Management reacts pretty quickly when they realize their compensation list may be available for download by the outside world from their internal servers.
I think the prices of Iron Oxide and Aluminum powder just went through the roof. "Anonymous" newfags are going to be doing the delete fucking everything dance for the next few weeks.
Scarlet Night is the mascot of the Rutgers State University of New Jersey. The robot was obviously named for the school. Engineering students have school pride, too.
As an active firefighter in a busy area, I ask too that you please off yourself in a way that doesn't require me to get out of bed at 0-dark-thirty hours, risk myself in an emergency response, and then proceed to cut your dead or dying ass out of a mangled car, or wash your brains off of an interstate highway. I also don't envy the cop who has to tell your next of kin how your stupid ass decided (s)he was being an idiot and killed some guy's innocent kid with your rocket of a motorcycle or corvette.
Thanks from your local public servant!
My question...Where are we moving all of these people if we're (According to TFA) "returning the land we raze to nature"? Won't this boost the crime rate and lower the property values of people who live in the smaller, surrounding suburbs?
How this isn't considered "ethnically cleansing" cities is beyond me. It seems as if the only people who would be affected negatively would be minority groups.
Ironically, Yes. The Zales corporation...yes, the jewelry company, still uses an SCO system for their in-store terminal system. Maybe this will force them to update their systems to something more advanced than the current Circa 1989 software they're running.
So...
$20,000/100 Days = $200 dollars, day.
$200/24 hours = $8.33/hour.
Some people really need to do the math before going "OMG THATS A GREAT REWARD" >>
Kudos to those running the experiment. Cheap labor is great.
I still find it amazing that ISPs go along with thi....wait...we're talking about Comcast/Verizon here. Same people who used to throttle legitimate P2P traffic. I guess we can assume that if you're shut off for 3 months for downloading music, there will be a fee greater than the bill for 3 months of service you missed to reinstate your account.
Great, so instead of the DHS being the only great fear monger, we now are going to create a new office to replicate it? How is DHS not the most logical place for cybersecurity? Intelligence is there, let THEM act on it. No need to increase the size of the government and have some other moron (who probably didnt pay his taxes) waiving his arms around at a puff of smoke...
We are taxed on miles traveled. That's called the gasoline tax. You're taxed proportionally to the amount in which you drive.
The federal highway trust fund is bankrupt. We need to raise the gas tax and do a whole lot more to get us back in the black.
We just passed an 8xx billion dollar "stimulus" to help rebuild infrastructure and create jobs. I can think of no better way to do both than to use that money to get our roads back up to par. Why raise taxes when we're just spending our assess off anyways? Hell, submit anything under the guise of "Stimulating the economy" and its bound to be passed.
Isn't the purpose of the gasoline tax in the United States to account for the wear an tear that your vehicle causes to the roads? If we start implementing tolling on nearly every major highway, we should start to see a reduction or removal of the gasoline tax. No way in hell should we be paying for something twice.
Do I have to buy the chair, or can I just pick one up and throw it?

Address Gun Violence in Cities: Obama and Biden would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade.Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners,while keeping guns away from children and from criminals.They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent.
The last part is your moneymaker. "Supporting making the Federal AWB Permenant". We've had a ban on machineguns since May 19, 1986. The "Assualt Weapons Ban" is a ban on a one-shot-per-trigger pull rifle that *looks* like an automatic version of the same weapon. They want to ban things that have more than 10 rounds in a magazine.

The only change we'll be seeing is the removal of our right to be able to defend ourselves. Say goodbye to your firearms, hello to more government intrusion into your life. Only now, there's no way to control government.

The president of the united states used to be sworn in on March 4 at Noon in Washington DC. This was changed by the 20th Amendment in order to cut down on the lame duck time that the president spent in office. If the president was sworn in during the month of June, we'd see more of a time where the executive branch of the government was essentially powerless.
Unless of course, you're a college student. Then its Alcohol -> tuition -> Textbooks -> Computer.
Last time I checked, the prices of booze, tuition and textbooks were going up. No wonder people are cheaping out on computers.
Isn't the whole college experience suppose to teach us critical thinking and problem solving skills to use in real life? This woman had a problem and instead of attempting to fix it, she complained bitched and gave up. Its a shame that the media would cover such a story. This story is IMO at least, less about *nix and more about how some woman is making herself look infinitely stupid by not taking care to solve her own problems.

Yep. Penn State University offers a degree in Security and Risk Analysis with a specification in Cyber-security. http://ist.psu.edu/prospectivestudents/undergraduate/sra/

So lets see here. They'd like to raze parts of Detroit (Homicide rate of 47.5% http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_Detroit/)and Philadelphia(Homicide rate of 27.7% http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_Philadelphia/). Both of which also have large ghetto type areas which house hundreds of people who I'm sure that most of us here wouldn't want living in our backyards.
My question...Where are we moving all of these people if we're (According to TFA) "returning the land we raze to nature"? Won't this boost the crime rate and lower the property values of people who live in the smaller, surrounding suburbs?

Both of which are. They're not able to leave, from what I understand. therefore, 24 hour work day, 7 days a week.
So... $20,000/100 Days = $200 dollars, day. $200/24 hours = $8.33/hour. Some people really need to do the math before going "OMG THATS A GREAT REWARD" >> Kudos to those running the experiment. Cheap labor is great.
