Er... You're annoyed because the headline is provocative and misleading? I'm guessing you haven't seen many headlines...
Provocative yes, but I wouldn't say misleading in this case. Is there card data stored in plain text? Yes. You made an assumption here, and you know what they say about assumptions. I thought it was going to be talking about full credit card data too, so while it isn't as bad as I thought, it still isn't good.

Ah, problem with the PHB eh? I was lucky... When we moved into our current office we had to run new wires anyways since we broke down walls and opened things up, so we have 1 voice and 2 data run everywhere. We're now VOIP and the phones to PoE. The phones are also on their own switch. We're fairly small though; less than 20 of us; and the boss trusts me so he doesn't really question my decisions.

You'd run VOIP phones on the same network as your normal boxes? I guess if you didn't do double or triple runs you might not have an option, but or VOIP phones have their own segment. LAN traffic doesn't mingle with phone traffic. Might be overkill I suppose, but do you have to mingle traffic?

I think you're missing the point. I've updated the in-car GPS/radio in my car several times with a DVD from the car manufacturer. This isn't after-market. My car is 3 years old. It isn't a Ford either. The only new part (to me) is the delivery mechanism.

I've never known 0-day to mean that. 0-day has to me always meant an exploit in the wild before the author is aware of it vs. an exploit taking advantage of a bug that was fixed a month ago but people haven't applied the patch.

Which one gets recorded by the DVR? Is DVR even an option? My TV can do HD, but I set most everything to record on the DVR as SD because HD eats disk space very quickly

PageRank never worked. Google has, for a very long time, been showing spam results at the top for years.

One thing they don't teach you is that everything that you just said here will be thrown out, and people who have no clue will decide a number that they think will generate the most revenue without pissing off too many people.

I'm speaking for myself here, but I'd say there are no major IT unions because most people in IT just want to get their shit done without having to worry about if their action will stray from union regulations. It's bad enough dealing with the PHBs to replace a 10 year old server. Why would I want to add more red tape? Unions had their purpose, but many unions are now just PACs in disguise.

You sure would have a problem driving to a new spot you haven't been to then... Your taxes go to roads. Roads you don't use right now. So in your view, all roads should be toll roads, and you should pay for each road you drive on. That would sure be a fun thing to manage.

Make sure you post that EULA in the bathroom.

I hope not. It's a lot easier to move an EZPass from car to car than to scrape a sticker off the windshield.

Aren't jokes supposed to be funny?

That's what apple is known for. They're one of the few companies that has actually managed to polish a turd.

He was never liberal. He's always been right of center. He's just closer to center than the others. Someone branded a democrat doesn't make them actually liberal.
