Most EVs these days aren't 30' long and capable of comfortably seating 90 people. Not exactly an apples to apples comparison to look at the range on a city bus vs. a Nissan Leaf. Also, those 6 KM range buses were in service 58 years ago.

I wonder why they bothered putting 10 000 911. "Roughly 10 million" probably would have been fine.

The concept is sound, but in practice the first time there's an emergency where something in the subset needs to be done and 2+ admins are required causing even a small delay, the PHBs will toss it out the window (and not be entirely wrong in doing so). There's always a trade off for greater security/accountability, and IMHO this will cross the line of what's acceptable to management often enough that it won't happen broadly.

Yeah, it's for Oracle that he does it. I didn't know it was needed. Although there's times where he's just checking on cron jobs and whatnot but still insists on using it, but it's likely that he's just gotten used to it like knarfling points out below.

X through SSH for server admin? Really? If someone asked for this on one of my boxes I wouldn't let them touch it with a 10 foot pole. Best car analogy I can come up with is a mechanic who doesn't know how to drive a stick well enough to put my car on the lift. Funnily enough we have a DBA who insists on using remote X sessions, then opens up the console in the X session to do his work and wonders why we have memory overhead issues.

Also, I used an old Treo 600 for on the run server admin using TuSSH back in 2003/4. No 802.11 on it which I found annoying at times (once it was available on other/newer smartphones), but GPRS was fine for SSH. Full keyboard, good enough display that I didn't feel limited by it. If 6-7 years later smartphones aren't at least as capable, something's very wrong.

Amazon deciding not to carry these books is not censorship any more than Taco Bell refusing to carry Coke products is. It just means if you want it, you have to get it from somewhere else.

So true. I'm glad my boss doesn't have that philosophy. Recently there was a bunch of work that needed to be done in ActionScript 3 for a project in another department and my boss came to me knowing that even though I'd never used the language, I'm a good programmer and I'd figure it out. Mind you, you'd have to at least be familiar with OOP, but that's not exactly new or trendy any more...

So, do they know where Anon's head office is yet?

Well, less than 7 proxies anyway.

I don't think I've ever heard white people stereotyped as great security auditors who aren't altruistic before. Wait... uh...
