Obviously, the device's components all have their place in the world. The arming components most likely are destroyed by shredding and/or smelting down to slag. The explosives are taken to White Sands or a similar location for disposal by EOD.

Now the fissionables, you know the major components are all isolated and kept in separate, classified locations so they could not be recovered by Threats for reassembly. The big parts is Uranium (big surprise) and Lithium 7 Hydride. The former can be refined and used in reactors of many types. The latter can be reprocessed and used in power cell production.

PU, OTOH, is a tricky beast. There is so little due to the "spark plug" Lithium component used in 3 Stage "Super" Thermonuclear devices. But its rare and not used in public or commercial projects without severe restrictions. So it can be reprocessed into 238PU02 Oxide. Which is used in SNAP RTG's. The PLOWSHARE program which took nuclear weapons from countries broken away from the dissolved Soviet Union, was reprocessed to be used in RTGs for spacecraft.

I've threatened to pack up my desk several times while isolating the servers from the users to keep things going. Fortunately, management had the brain cells to realize what was happening and pretty much sent a paper memo to the staff to fall into compliance and work with IT to ensure the security of their systems.

This is called cramming, or switching. Telecoms are NOT permitted to do this, no matter what the service they are affecting. Normally, they would grandfather in the plans and leave them be, but AT&T seems to be desperate to get their butts whipped by the state and feds.

So be it.

Both white- and black-lists are needed in group policy or security screening applications go a long way in preventing the majority of crypto breaches. The clients my MSP takes care of use GP filtering and have yet to experience an attack that directly affected their servers. Sure, there were a minority that got their workstations encrypted and killed, but their core data on the servers was safe and sound.

Preemptive measures go a long way in ensuring the majority of these attacks do not get very far, or get in at all. Plus education and continuing education, no matter how much they hate it, needs to be ongoing. This includes top-down suits.

Or they get to use Commodore 64's from here on out...

But has there been any studies regarding it being effective for service sector types, read: medical, IT support, food service, maintenance/janitorial, bus drivers... I'm afraid that this will not work out as effective in those areas because of the utility of those jobs. There will have to be other ways of compensation to them so there will be equality across the board, or there might be sparks flying sooner or later.

I've screamed bloody murder when a Compugraphic model 7500 typesetter decided to do this crap in the middle of a rush job... All it needed was some lube on the guide and support rails, but jeez...

They don't do it directly, they simply outsource it to contractors that do their dirty work for them.

Same deal goes for reselling mailing lists to mass marketers. AT&T, anyone?

Grow a tree, maybe more.

Ensure your city has tree laws in place, give the developers something to think about before destroying one of God's greatest gifts.

Smile, knowing you did your job to ensure future generations will breathe easier.

Is not to use the installer that comes with it or the download for the OS. Use the Windows server based drivers, which contain the INFs specific for the printer and configure it the hard way.

Failing that, the heads built into the printer clog, making the machine useless, and an expensive heap of plastic.

There IS a West Pole!

So, will there be a race to it?

"Don't tell me you fear the experiment."

"No, I fear the result!"

That is not going to do a bit of good for the service and support industry. IT is not going to stop, the servers run 24/7/365 and need tending to whenever there is a problem, or they will be waiting until Monday comes rolling around. Same for healthcare, and the food services. In fact, their hours might get longer and longer.

He won't last long in the clink. That you can take to the bank.

And now I'm waiting for it to return. I've used it in the past and it is a well made app, suitable for contractors or work abroad where you don't have access to a scanner or PDF converter.

It works and works well, if you know how to wriggle around their premium services. I've taken snaps of documents and created PDFs of them out in the field, then fired them off at people by email, surprising them with the speed of the turnaround. It works and works well, just keep clear of their cloud service.
