My new $DayJob is sending me to AS/400 school because our mail system runs on a bunch of them all over the world.

$DayJob = "100 year old French company."

Gordon Ramsey?

Uhg! It was so much better then. Almost 20 years and I still haven't learned to preview posts!

I remember when /. was so hard up for bandwidth I ended up hosting images.slashdot.org at the ISP I was working for. That's back when it was just Malda, a T1 line, and the community. I was so much better then.

18USC1029 would come into play too, just guessing.

Fine with me, just stay out of Snohomish County (except Lynnwood, you can have that.)

And I remember when Wallingford was middle-class. Hell, even I was able to live there back in my hippie days.

That's why I lease my land directly from the Native Americans. In 15 years they'll get it back.

So you're saying that come the Zombie Apocalypse I won't be able to order kitty litter from Amazon?

Or you could just pull over and take a 5-10 minute walk every two hours or so to get some blood flowing to the brain again. In fact, I think this is recommended by most driving instructors.

Ah, I see that you have also worked in aerospace!

The old joke is, "How do you turn a 50 cent screw into a 5 dollar screw? Put it on an airplane!"

The proper way to install your VoIP system is to run all the phones on their own VLAN that does not have Internet access. There is no reason for the phone set to have Internet access so why would you even have that on its wire? It shouldn't even have access to your desktops or servers, and vice-versa. The only thing that should be able to talk to the phones is the VoIP controller.

Knowing bureaucracy it may well be that The Man would have a harder time getting your info from The Man than from another source.

This is why god made virtual machines.

The user machines and workstations where I work all use display port for their second monitors. Either from the motherboard, Quado 600 graphics cards or docking stations. HP has displayport on all the devices we buy.
