And chlorine gas as well, which makes the mixture of H2 and O2 photosensitive. (i.e. it may explode just sitting on the kitchen table.)

Depends on the age of the switch. The ones in the hatchery my family used to run (~40 years ago) had LOTS of mercury in them.

Sealed inside glass tubes, it's perfectly safe for millions of years. A lot safer than the tiny amounts found in fluorescent lights.

You mean ANI? Unless you have a digital line (ISDN PRI or BRI), you don't get ANI.

VoIP systems tend to blindly forward whatever the caller provided.

We aren't talking about a rack full of dell/hp knock-off "servers". OCP hardware is rows of racks full of stripped down, barebones systems. If your "mission critical" app fails, it's because you or your data center are a bunch of fools. Resilience comes from redundancy. If you fail to provide the redundant hardware, or capacity to spin up your crapplication on other systems, then that's your damn fault. (just as much as choosing to build your own rack full of budget trash.)

OCP hardware is cheap, so you can afford a lot of it. But it's cheap, and thus, prone to higher failure rates. This equals, in enterprise definitions, an "unreliable infrastructure". In the end, it'll work out to roughly the same total cost, but with one all the money is spent up front to fill a room no one visits, vs. the other spending very little to fill the same room but has people in there regularly replacing failed components. (Banks prefer the former, Google, the latter.)

My guess is they don't handle them securely because they don't see them as that sensitive. They are, after all, numbers humans have to have to get the right containers. At some point, they will be in a format that can be stolen -- i.e. on the waybill handed to the driver. You're basically trying to secure a phone number -- randomly generated and rotating, but still something more than one person necessarily knows.

How securely do you handle your Fedex or UPS tracking numbers? (granted, you cannot show up at the warehouse, read off a number, and get any package. If you have the, you-weren't-home waybill, however, they'll hand over whatever it is. USPS is the same, btw -- never been asked for ID)My guess is they don't handle them securely because they don't see them as that sensitive.

Last I checked, IT != Accountant.

Hybrids don't have a range problem, and they also aren't the subject of the article... LOTS of people have hybrids today; you don't notice them as much because they look just like their non-hybrid models. Pure EVs aren't selling well because they cost (a lot) more (in some cases 2x), have crap range (100-200mi vs 500-700mi), and take forever to recharge (hrs vs. mins.)

For the record, I make numerous 200+mi trips per year: 223mi 3-4x, 209mi 2x, 536mi 1x. Last year included a trip to Sebring FL (752mi)

That's ok, just make it all work like Facebook. That seems to be the standard progression of every app on every device on the market today.

You've clearly never worked in any admin position. When someone is being fired, only those required to make the firing decision (management, HR, etc.) will be in-the-know. At the time of firing, only those necessary to effect the dismissal (i.e. IT, security, etc.) will be told about it; and they won't be told shit as to why.

The mods are a bunch of stupid children. If they aren't happy with the way things are being run, they can work within the system tty to change it, or they can quit. Paid or not has nothing to do with it; unprofessional childish bullshit is just that. Trashing the site is what a 5yo would do.

Nope. If you have what's called a "legacy allocation", then your block is old enough to not be encumbered by any of ARIN's current rules.

The key annoyance of "chrome" is chrome. Opera is nothing more than a different skin on the same steaming turd. (and their devs have all but said so. They aren't happy with chromium's extreme memory consumption, but there's only so far they can go to "fix it".)

Cellphones operate in licensed bands. Thus, jammers are illegal.

Drones (RC crap) operate in unlicensed bands and must accept any interference that may exist. Jamming them is not, technically, illegal. However, jamming them would not be in anyone's best interest -- or really worth the effort. (how many jammers would it take to cover a mountain?)

Arming the DC10 is, of course, the correct answer. :-)

There are lots of switches running linux. Of course, linux isn't the thing doing the switching.

The question to ask is can you get to the OS and/or ssh configuration to remove whatever the vendor may have installed? (i.e. remove whatever ssh backdoor keys they left there.) In most cases, the answer is "Hell. No."

You'd be surprised just how hard it is to evict someone from a residential property.

(Commercial property, at least around here, 30 days and we can sell off or discard anything you left behind. And keep your deposit.)
