Well put sir. The state's money problems and insane gun laws are exactly why I refuse to move to california.

Use activesync which is built into exchange (assuming you have exchange 2003 or newer). The process would look something like this. Since you have a dynamic IP you will need to get a dyndns or similar URL (unfortunately no longer free). Once you have that then you will need to get a SAM cert for your exchange server.…

Best part about locks is even if they are TSA approved, the TSA will just cut them off anyway.

Just out of curiosity why do you need local outlook sync? Personally I use exchange for my sync and haven't had an issue getting my calendar, contacts, tasks, or mail. I can understand if you are using outlook as a front end for say hotmail or gmail, but if this is business use you should have some ability to do OTA…

When I lived in MA a buddy of mine had the same problem getting the VIN verified by the cops. Their solution was to have the car towed to the police station, verified and then towed home. He decided that wasn't a great idea given the cost of having it towed to and from the station, drove it over anyway, got pulled…

I can say after carrying almost every day for the last 3 years that I rarely assume that others are carrying too, unless they are printing, or doing something like wearing a windbreaker in 90 degree heat. 99.999% of people with carry permits will tell you the same thing "I carry so that I can protect myself / loved…

Depending on the state you can lose your CCW just for entering an establishment that sells alcohol while carrying even if you aren't drinking.

10.8 server still has the deployment wizard option. Every time I have deployed Macs it has been a network deployment not a physical one.

My friend you obviously know nothing about Corporate IT.

Getting rid of Ethernet will be the nail in the coffin for enterprise adoption. A year ago I was tasked with finding an 11 or 12 inch notebook for our sales people and techs to use on the road. Small, light, great battery life, and fast were what I was told, price wasn't an object. My initial thought went right to the…

Yup state records your death which also gets reported to all the various federal organisations that need to know. Once that happens your SSN goes into essentially a recycle pool and eventually gets attached to another person, however the government keeps a database of everyone who has ever had that SSN just in case.…

Yea I actually didn't know that until I was researching identity theft for a presentation on social engineering. I figured that they had to have some sort of recycling system otherwise the numbers would have to be longer than 9 digits after a while.

Now that he is dead there is no reason to hide that info. I forget the time period but all socials get recycled. Not to mention because he is a household name I am pretty sure that no one is going to be dumb enough to bother stealing his identity to try to open up a credit card.

I was thinking the same thing. It it really looked like I threw a G3 boat anchor case on the back of my iPhone I would buy one in a heartbeat. Even better would be a G3 iBook.

It says "That red thing flying next to the F-16"

Then again amex seems to want a small market share. They want to be this exclusive club of 700+ credit score $20,000+ a year average spending customers. But as much as I dislike their snooty corporate attitudes they have hands down the BEST customer service of any financial company I have ever worked with in my life.

That's just how we do things round here.

More like a bucket of prop-wash and a gallon of headlight fluid.

Probably because people thought "Hey cool I get to sit and play video games all day months ahead of people even knowing they exist." But then it turns out that it is a real job where you have to actually turn in assessment reports, and specifically try to break the game and submit bug reports etc, they realized it was…

Some yes, some no. For instance there have been lots of self produced artists that I found on youtube with songs on iTunes that I have purchased because I know that short of the $0.30 that apple is taking out of the song, the artist is actually making money on my purchase and I will never go to a live show of their's…
