I am an IT professional, and I am also an employee that doesn't personally agree with every one of the rules. So I can relate pretty well to this article.

I use the old 'slash and burn' technique. I slash my boss' tires then put a flaming bag of poo on the hood.

10/10 BOOYAH!

@Maxim Tolkachev: Very good point.

@Brad Isaac: I thought for sure you'd end the article with a killer joke.

Sweet! The person I'm stalking will thank you.

Great idea, pretty cleaver. But you'd have to throw in a foot massage with this to get me to spend 15 bones on it.

I've been doing this for years and it works great. I'm not concerned about blasting radio waves in to my head for several reasons:

I shred anything that has my name, address, phone number, or any other identifying information. Even if that single piece of information isn't confidential, I don't want someone to develop a profile of me from numerous non-confidential pieces of information. I also shred any piece of paper that I write down someone…

Is this the second generation of the Dell DeCrapifier?

*oops, anything BUT DBAN.

I don't know why anyone would use anything buy DBAN. You can use it on any computer because it's OS independent, it's very easy to use, it's free, and it's very secure. It does take time, but if you start it before you go to bed, what's the issue?

@PowPow: Thanks, good to know. But how would anybody know if I have accounts at several brokerages? Does Merrill Lynch tell Fidelity that I have an account with them and that I funded $4000 that year?

Is a person, whether self-employed or traditionally employed, allowed to have more than one ROTH IRA? I understand that the yearly max contribution is $4,ooo, but if I had 10 ROTH IRAs, and the money to fully funds each account every year, then I'd be putting away $40,000 per year.

I just used it and the range it gave was correct for my score. I ran my score a couple weeks ago (and paid for it).

That's flippin sweet.

I haven't tried the software yet, so I could be wrong. But it appears to me that the advantage this software has over Hamachi+VNC (and similiar setups) is that there is no configuration to do. You can send this file to your grandmom, have her type in the ID number and away you go. Whereas, typical novice users…

According to their support site, it uses TCP port 5900 (same as Real/Tight/UltraVNC). But if a person has a SOHO router, inbound requests on port 5900 will be blocked unless a firewall exception has already been manually made.

My cell phone won't let me have two address book entries with different names and the same phone number. So I renamed my wife's entries to just read 'Wifey Cell' or 'Wifey Work'.

I have a SageTV DVR (Windows platform). Is there software out there that does this in Windows?
