They shouldn't be SAs then. As GP said, I don't expect Cisco certification, but there is a level of knowledge of networks that a competent SA should have.

Filament costs between $20-$40/kg, which will print out a lot of items. Most standard items are in the order of grams of filament.

Because we've always had volcanoes and the oceans didn't acidify as a result?

That Republicans hate so so much that they can't be bothered to vote for his replacement and get him out of office? Gotcha.

I can either give you a mod point or comment. So I'll comment. This is absolutely the case.

Best manager I ever had wasn't all that technical, but on the day I started working for him he told me "My job is to make sure you can do your job". And he did, and he had my back whenever I needed it. I've had others that came close, and more than one that had no idea what they were doing, let alone be put in a position of authority over people.

I was promoted to manager a few years ago and tried to keep that in mind with my team. It's a difficult balance, especially when I was friends with some of them before my promotion. I was as upfront with everyone as possible, and would try to balance tasks that needed to be done with tasks I knew they'd find interesting.

Oh, and keeping a dish of snacks (don't need to be sweet, trail mix works) at your desk is always a good excuse for people to stop in and chat for a few minutes.

Iran has been 6 months away from a bomb for the past 20 years.

Given the low UID, I'll allow it.

You grow hair on your palms and...nowait, that was...you know what, nevermind.

Just like cameras on police. There needs to be a retention policy and those policies need to be met unless there's a reason to retain them longer (like a court order).

Wat? 3D printed objects can be made using ABS, the exact same plastic used to make Legos.

I got two of his books ("The Making of the Atomic Bomb" and "Dark Sun: The Making of the Hydrogen Bomb") and have read them both a few times. Lots of really good information in there, but both were written pre-9/11. He's written two books since which I literally ordered a few minutes ago while reading about this.

Just like all the other science that they explored. Remember the devices that emitted such harmful radiation that they were relegated to scanning at prisons?

Look, I'll give the TSA props for trying. But I draw the line when they go immediately from "hey, I got an idea" to "here's $1B to implement it before we know if it even works!"/

It depends on where your bottleneck is. Hard drives are typically the lowest performing pieces of hardware, mostly because they're spinning media. You can have the fastest CPU in the world, but if you're waiting on a 5.25" full height MFM drive, your performance is going to suffer.

Been hearing this argument for years. It's still valid, but comes down to how much you care. I store my music with Amazon, but that's mostly because I want to have access to it everywhere. My CDs were ripped years ago and exist on my home server and Amazon and Google. I use Amazon and Google, but if something happens to either of those, I still have my originals. It's more likely that my home RAID array will eat itself before Amazon or Google get corrupted.
