Military time confuses many people, but it's actually really simple to convert it. If anyone gives you a time that starts with "13" or more, all you need to do is subtract 12 from the first 2 digits and add a "pm" to the end. If you need to tell someone the time in military terms, add 12 to the hour part of anything…
I replied to Alan below on the outcome of my experiment, thought I'd let you know :D
I'm extremely proud of this. :)
As IT for a semi large company, if i saw someone with TOR installed i would talk to them about it and have them remove it. then check back in a few weeks to see if they re-installed it. if they did then i would just go to HR to file a complaint that they are using company property for inappropriate uses. the same…
If it's someone else's equipment and network, then, no, you probably aren't entitled to the expectation of privacy.
Chances are your IT department can remotely access your computer, making pretty much any attempt at hiding your activity useless. Just save the questionable browsing for home (you're supposed to be working anyway, right?). Besides, if they routinely point out you have no right to privacy on your company machine I…

Here's the image for 99% Invisible. A GREAT show: http://99percentinvisible.org/
These podcasts have a way of taking your view of the world and slewing the mind's eye around to look at an issue/topic from a vantage point you've never considered before. Plus I love the annual Spooked episodes put out around Halloween. Glen Washington and staff do a great job with this show.
Helps put our current struggles over hot-button issues into historical perspective. All three PhDs (modern historian, 19th century historian, 18th century historian) bring a different historical lens to the discussion. They tackle the tough ones: race, sex, immigration, religion, medicine, ethics. Mostly I've…
Best podcast to learn about random things. Josh and Chuck are the hosts and they do a great job every time. The topics are always pretty interesting and they also manage to squeeze in some humor in each episode. This one is definitely a brain booster. Oh and the production quality is top-notch.
