Comment Heads up! (Score 0) 107

I used to tell people working for a startup was the best experience they will ever have. My first two were great. However, I've been burnt twice too. After dedicating every waking hour to a startup only to see it get sold and not getting anything but the salary while you've worked there is bullshit. The only thing I can say about being a startup employee now days is, "Get in writing that you are a partner". If they say no, walk away. Don't ever believe someone will give you a fair share out of the goodness of their heart. Those people have moved on to owning basketball teams or starting new companies with really stupid names so all they do all day is golf.

Comment What TOS are you reading? (Score 2) 206

Has anyone seen a TOS that does not give the company rights of ownership of you, yours, and all things associated with everything else they can cram into the TOS? I've often wondered why TOS are so wordy. I would simply write, "Do you confirm that you are our bitch and everything yours is now ours?".

Now if we could keep finding new doctors where each new doctor does the job for 25% less then the old one until the cost is 25% of what it originally cost... hmmm. Then we'd have doctors that suck as bad as new code and outsourced tech support.

Nobody in the security sector that I know believes there is a relationship between the kernel version and the attacks. The only reason I could see anyone mentioning it is if they had some reason for people to see Linux negatively. The vast majority of IPS/Firewalls out there taking Ciso space in the datacenters are based on Linux. I do know no of any of them that are not running kernel 2.6.X.

This is why the physical portion should be owned by the state. Let the wireless, cellular, and last hop be distributed by providers, including last hop pots. Companies rent the physical and sell the service. It serves to maintain the resource without tossing it into one, or the other, downward spiral. For example, it limits the stagnation affect caused when the state controls resources and forces a balance between companies that want to gouge customers and what people believe is reasonable. The only thing preventing someone from starting a service is competence not overly powerful competition. The user has a plethora of options.

"what if someone wants to log directly into their box while travelling". OpenVPN would work in one of two ways. You can set up another machine and an IPv4 non-routable network for internal access only. If your Linux machine only has one physical interface you apply a non-routable address to the same physical interface right along side of the IPv6 one. Or just connect directly to the Linux box with OpenVPN. You setup multiple networks on the Linux box (public and private) using a tun or tap device depending on your preferences. Then have OpenVPN configured to assign your address the same as the "private" one.
