Comment Re:Magnets?! How to they %#^&^@# work? (Score 0) 228

I've had piercings my whole adult life and haven't had any infections past the first week and that was my first one I didn't take care of according to my piercist's instructions. /. Has the predictable array of scared nerd comments based on ignorance and fear of anything that can lead to getting laid.

Moron. I have a BSE computer system's engineering and MSE electrical engineering degree. I studied the exact thing I did at Graphic techniologuies. Makes me hate Jews -- the irony was he didn't know how lucky he was. National Merit Scholar caliber is rare. Fucken Jews.

And the simple stuff is all I use it for, you would be insane to use it for anything else. I'll agree that without a wireless mouse the Citrix app is nigh unusable but once you jailbreak the iPad the mouse becomes invaluable. It runs several terminal windows concurrently plus explorer and outlook, that's all I really need. If all you're worried about doing is resetting MGCP on a gateway and then sending an email or other simple on call tasks it's perfect. Anything more and you just call someone else or drive to home/work. Plus it beats lugging the laptop on the skytrain, etc. or taking your car just to have someplace to stash the laptop. My boss would not be happy to learn that my company laptop and mobile internet stick were stolen out of the trunk.

My company uses Citrix to virtualize everything. I have had office, outlook, remote desktop on my ipad via Citrix for over a year and it is great for meetings, presentations, doing inventory, and just using an excel spreadsheet as a checklist. I can log on to my machine at work anywhere over 3G and have instant access to all my internal resources over a secure connection. Text input? Are you kidding? Combine Citrix Reciever with a ZAGG keyboard, jailbreak it, and you have an extremely effective machine for basic document editing and creation, a very powerful terminal emulator for network admin (my job) and access to all those lovely legacy tools like the fax modem connected to my PC via a serial cable so I can administer the Nortel PBX. Best thing is, all the processing is done on the server at work and if you lose the connection everything is where you left it when you reconnect. All this discussion about iPads having a place in enterprise is retarded, (literally, slow minded) the tools are already out there only Apple didn't develop them in house.

Comment Active Countermeasures? (Score 1) 239

So what are some actually effective countermeasures? Those sprays do not work, or only in limited scenarios. So what might work? Infrared Lasers blinding the cameras, IR LED flashes? Retro reflective coatings on the plate surface to direct the light downward? About the only effective thing I can think of is to replicate Steve Jobs' system of driving without plates.
