-Keep every e-mail.

I have every .PST file from almost every job going back nearly 20 years. Just this year, my current company activated group policy in Exchange force-deleting emails after a set period *AND* mandated no local archiving. Even without local .PSTs I considered some sort of VBA script to save out all emails in HTML or XML for local reference.

But the policy forbids that as well. /smdh

Couple *THIS* atrocity with the fact our online storage works out to about six week of email, assuming few attachments. I don't know how many times prior I was saved by being able to track down a spec discussion / project commitment / code snippet from a few months ago or longer. Now I just tell people, "Sorry, per policy I had to delete the email you sent, can you retype it all and resend?"

The neighbor's dog dropping in my yard look better than Pac-Man on the 2600. Malign 2600 E.T. all you want - It looked ok for its time and if you could figure out the pit exit trick, it was a pretty twitchy platformer/adventure game. And yes, I've played it recently. Pretty much every time I ride E.T. at Universal in fact ^^

Kinda like the AI in an anti-lock breaking system.

No wonder Kurzweil et. al. are so against AI - It's gonna do something horrible to our Google/GM/Uber self-driving cars and kill us aaaaaaaallllllllll!

How are DoS attacks going to be handled?

Denial of Surgery attacks? Handled by the lawyers, I'd expect.

Well, Zarniwoop did say that was the secret, that is, "the secret is to bang the rocks together, guys!"

The room or the bear?

No thank you. I have already experienced definitions for those terms via Imgur and Twitter.

Oddly enough, I was taking the last bite of a late lunch when I processed "truffle butter", and now I'm a bit ill. Thank you for that...

Suppose he keeps his mansion's front fence in poor repair - GatesGateGate!

Patrick Dempsey? Is he decapodean also? I'd be more worried about John Zoidberg, M.D.

T9 went that far back, right? You press each letter-group ONCE and the more you typed the more the phone narrowed the possible letter-combinations down to real words from the dictionary. So long as you could customize the wordlist, and had an option to switch T9 off and go pure sequential input, you were golden.

I have a smartphone now with Google's Swype knockoff and I love it. But sometimes I wonder how fast I could type with T9 on a large screen...

I am very disappointed in myself that I can't remember the title. but it should be an Isaac Asimov short. Husband toils for years to build a teleporter/time machine. Constantly fails, perseveres, eventually it works - sort of. He breaks down to his wife that all that effort and expense was wasted on a machine that takes them ONLY 30 years in the past and ONLY to that same relative location in town.

His wife, ever the more practical, realizes they can use it to shop in the past at substantial discount. No indication if they took a sports almanac back with them to wager on...

Don't forget XPrivacy (requires root and the XPosed framework). This essentially replaces App Ops with the added functionality of providing fake info rather than straight blocking permissions. That is, if you block Contacts, apps can request a Contacts instance but it comes back with no records. Location can be spoofed at random or to a value of your choosing. Internet/Wifi access can be blocked but appear as "no signal" so the app will (hopefully) fail over to offline mode, while the rest of your phone continues online.

I've been using XPrivacy for about 2 years now and can't imagine an Android device without it. I also have a very minimal HOSTS file to block the worst pop-up offenders, but I've been thinking on and off about going the full iptables firewall route. I used to use ZoneAlarm on PC to see what programs were trying to connect *to*, as much as for blocking inbounds. I miss that on Android...

Is there a bot/script/site tool that spits this garbage out on demand? If I hadn't just eaten my lunch, I might be tempted to feed the troll for fun. But as it is, I'm late getting back...

Little Mermaid, right? I'm supposed to sing that to the tune of "Kiss De Girl"?

Because I totally read that in Sebastian's voice!

Well, true. HIPAA itself doesn't really dictate technology, other than to say PHI / PII must be deidentified or encrypted if not transferred point-to-point.

My intent with my reply to AC was to illustrate that records-sharing doesn't necessarily violate HIPAA so long as qualified providers are doing direct care or TPO.

That said, what should be feasible at any hospital with HL7 or similar standards-based interfaces for existing vendors and/or a relatively modern EMR is that they can export the data and leave it to the NFL's team docs and IS people to import it into a human-readable form on their side.
