Lync DND hides outlook notifications/sounds and notifies users who IM you that you are unavailable. The missed message then shows up in your Outlook inbox. Blocking both outlook AND Lync notifications is handy for when you really don't want distractions.

NoScript is the only way to go. Lynx will just lead to frustration if you are to try to browse any modern page due to the amount of JS used to render.

> Random, unannounced inspections work best of all...

The FDA does this regularly, especially if you have had any audit findings. Major and Critical findings almost always result in a random follow up audit.

I might very well be wrong then -- do you have anything to back this up? I'm genuinely curious.

Just be careful with that stuff. The difference between the antibiotics given to your fish and the ones that come from the pharmacy is the FDA regulations around manufacturing. There's no Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) required for the antibiotics provided for fish because they are not for human consumption. Sure, it may be the exact same pill manufactured in the exact same building, but the humans get pile A because that went through extensive QC and has passed, and the fish get pile B with rejects.

Obviously this isn't a truly factual scenario, but I would just be cautious consuming that unless you have no other option.

What was the outcome of the first story? He bankrupted the town government, what happened to them?

Look into GroupMe. I use it with friends to keep in touch and it has both a mobile and desktop application. You can do inline photos, youtube videos, etc. As of now I believe it's free.

There's a learning curve with Vyatta but once you catch on it's pretty easy. There's also plenty of guides online that'll get you started and a very friendly community.

I didn't like the web interface of pfSense, and at the time of using it I was still pretty green with the Linux CLI so using that wasn't as much of an option. From what I can see there have been improvements, plus it's also been 7~ years since I used it, so I might give it a shot in a VM.

Thanks, I may look into this. It'll be cheaper less expensive than the one I had originally spec'd out on Newegg.

I really liked pfSense but when I used it long ago it was very buggy. It may be time for me to give it another try. However, if you're familiar with the Cisco IOS CLI, Vyatta is another solution. I plan to set up a small low power box to be my router and only use my Linksys Router/AP combo (flashed with DD-WRT) as an access point. It gives you far more options in terms of management, and if you happen to seed a lot of Linux ISOs you don't have to worry about filling up the memory with the routing table.

This has been going on for a while -- at least a few years -- with youtube. I remember back when entire Youtube videos would actually load (and let you skip back and forth without reloading) I was watching the progress bar take forever on some 720p video. When I jumped on my OpenVPN and refreshed it the video loaded significantly faster.

Comcast has proven time and time again that they are scumbags. Thanks for monopolizing Philadelphia, ya jerks!

On top of that it wasn't because of profits that the incident happened. They intentionally disabled multiple safety triggers to perform an experiment and that's what caused it all.

I honestly wonder what would happen if you filled a 12ga shotshell with buckyballs and put it through a single shot -- assuming you can even get the shell cambered without it snapping to the receiver.. If I had the cash to burn I'd do it in something smaller like a .410 shotgun.

You still want to do a visual inspection on anything or have a third party do it. I bought a C&R rifle from a guy in AZ and a friend who lived nearby looked at it and confirmed it's legit and that it was in good shape. Same applies for a guitar since you can easily hide cracks in the neck with a bit of nail polish for a photo or just about any kind of damage that isn't 100% obvious.
