I used to wear a watch, back in the 20th century. That's when cell phones were the size of a common house brick. Fuck watches

How about something older than tcp/ip that is usually done using tcp/ip: FTP, from 16 April 1971

Were they open to the network or open to VPN into the network?

I've never trusted wireless access. Could never get the funding to really secure it. The answer for those places that just have to have it was a separate network in front of the firewall and VPN everything through. From a user perspective, It could be an open access point but they didn't have access to the company network.

Lol.. if you think this guy is a moron, you know nothing about securing a network. One of the most basic principles is to not allow devices and access you do not directly control. The fact that he was detecting a MAC address at all means he was using it with the company network.

You have basically three choices if he doesn't supply the phone. Either do without a phone, do with a different employer, or allow the insane policy.

Working somewhere else won't fix the policy because there will always be someone desperate for employment who would put up with it. But it is a pointless policy because you can copy everything from the comfort of home before it gets to the point of wiping the phone. About the only good use for something like this would be if the phone came up missing and you cannot trust it anymore. I think there are already services you can use to wipe phones (some may even brick them after the wipe) if they became lost or stolen. Not an unreasonable request in my opinion. That is if you are going to keep credentials that allow access to company resources like email or VPN services on it.

Four percent of the world's population, but 20% of the global economy. When you got the powah and the muhnah, it's just "quaint"

don't forget the 250,000 or more civilians killed, their productivity certainly took a shit

some viruses are "huge", Pandoravirus 1000nm, Megavirus chilensis 450nm.

You should in theory be able to see those optically under 380nm violet light with a NA 1.6 lens

The largest viruses have 450 nm capsid diameter. Violet light of 380nm on a glass lens with numeric aperture of 1.6 gives Abbe limit of 240nm.

Oops, maybe you better get a refund on your B.S. degree. Or maybe the B.S. means Bovine Shtuff?

Lol.. a scenario that exists largely only in your head and you paint every person who thinks the constitution matters with your brush of ignorance.

Some people will never stop amazing me.

Is your google finger broken? No Dianne Feinstein does not have a CCW. She may still have the pistol but has publicly claimed she got rid of it too. She wasn't a big gun control champion when she had her CCW either. The only reason we know about it is that she admitted having previously had one when trying to institute an assault weapons ban.

But hey, as long as you can say someone else is wrong- amiright? Oh, and you may have failed the reading comprehension, I certainly did not. Try reading the rest of my post. Perhaps it is above your level and you should ask you mom to come into the basement and help you understand it or something?

There use to be software or a process with a human that would listen in on tech support calls while the person was on hold. It would try to detect key words like cussing and so on to determine the level of upset the user was. It would then transfer the calls a little sooner than if they stayed in original queue.

I used to just start spouting random swear words in hopes of going to the front of the line. Had an employer catch me doing it once and was about ready to fire me until he found out why. Sometimes it appears to work, most of the time it just relieves some stress.

Well, technically he has. There used to be an ice cream shop right on base. It sold burgers and shakes and stuff too. It was named Guantanamo. He shut it down and now the servicemen have to go into Cuba proper in order to get ice cream. That is why normalizing relations with Cuba was so damn important.

hmm.. the spiral stair case problem... I guess that is what we can call it.

I think you are ignoring reality in order to press whatever ideology you want to be true.

With the exception of the democrat in California who was running guns and creating his own little market niche by championing and passing gun control laws, almost all prominent gun control advocates do in fact have armed security around them the majority of time they are in public. They do no arm themselves unless you consider hiring armed thugs or having armed police provided by the state to be arming yourself.

BTW, intelligence does enter into it. How else do you compensate for or explain the "I won't arm myself but pay others to arm themselves for me while actively trying to stop others from protecting their families" mentality and pretending it somehow makes them better than everyone else.
