What kind of motels are you guys going too?

In 5 years of traveling weekly; I have never had an issue plugging in an HDMI streaming stick into a hotel TV.

Just to make sure i'm clear here...

Are saying; that only IT groups that are serious about security, allow unknown encrypted data to pass out the perimeter with no regard to what could be present in it? Are you saying that IT groups should just accept the risk of data being ex filtrated over these unknown encrypted connections? What about C2 traffic?

As someone who regularly performs Security Assessments and Penetration Tests for the Financial Industry in the US... I would say that's rather naive...

There is absolutely ZERO expectation of privacy when using an asset that is provided by your employer.

Any IT group who is serious about decreasing their attack surface, knows that solution's like this are imperative to the overall security posture of the organization. Any IT department who is serious about protecting the organization knows; you just cannot allow unknown encrypted data to leave the network at the will of an employee.

The IT department doesn't give one fuck about your privacy.... as they shouldn't.
Its IT's job to protect the business from technology, and ensure that it has the tools and solutions in place to achieve the organizations business requirements. Yes, this includes middling SSL and TLS connections to ensure that company data is not leaking out of the perimeter.

If you don't want the IT department decrypting their data as it leaves their network; use your smartphone instead.

No way.

WoW is my game of choice and CPU power most definitely is in the equation. When you start talking about damage meter addons and the like.... CPU is much more valuable in that area the GPU power.

I def agree with you that a lot of processing happens server-side, however there is some client-side processing that is out of band of gfx handling where the CPU makes a difference.

I actually just upgraded my older machine to an E8400 and it made a noticeable difference in gameplay.

I think the addons is probably where it will make the most difference. Yeah, I could disable my UI and use the Blizz UI, but i like the customization it adds.

I just believe that there are certain circumstances where CPU cycles matter.

I think it depends on the game.

FPS.... your probably right.

Take an MMO with all of the various numbers that have to be crunched. Add addons (if avail for your game of choice) and all the calculations they are also doing and the CPU and Memory really starts to matter.

Not Trolling here....

Isn't 1D a single point on a plane and 2D is 2 points on a plane connected by a line?

He said he disabled it.

What he really needs to do before buying a new router is to verify himself whether his WPS vulnerability still exists before going out and purchasing a new router.

WPA encryption uses the SSID to salt the hash.

The more obscure your SSID is, the less chance there is that precomputed hashes have been generated for your psk.

Just because you are at a PUB doesnt mean you are forced to get drunk. Get a Ginger Ale on the rocks and have a good time instead of ruining it for everyone else that does want to have a beer or something.

You guys are all Anonymous Cowards.

Just sayin'...

Anyone who has ever had to recover "permanently" deleted files from a computer would know that a simple fdisk, format, and re-install is not enough.

I agree with jhoegl.... if the data is as personally private as the OP portrays it to be, it should never have even touched their company computer. Most company's have acceptable use policy's that you have to agree too before you can login, and in that policy (if you have one that is) it mostly likely states that any data you put on the computer is now property of the company that owns the asset.

The data should never have been there in the first place.

But to answer the question..... the best way is just to go through everything and use something like Spybots Secure Shredder.

I don't know how reliable SpyBot's Secure Shredder utility is but i would start there. You want a utility that will rewrite zeros to the blocks your data used; not just mark those blocks as available on the allocation table.

I wouldn't dban it though because then you could potentially get yourself in some legal hot water.

I don't have any problems with people going through to correct immigration process to come to the "land of opportunity".
If somebody from another country want to immigrate to the US to better their education or persue better opportunities, the i fully support you as long as you go through the correct process of obtaining a visa and or citizenship.

My beef is with the illegal immigrants that sneak into the country, work under the table and not pay their fair share of taxes, and then get government assistance and benefits at the tax payers expense.

If you want to come to the US, then GREAT! i think that's wonderful!..... Just do it legally and pay your taxes like everybody else.

annnnddd....... its gone. App cant be found on the play store anymore.

Why would you EVER buy a 6-11 year old child a 300+ dollar piece of technology to take to school?

Are you really trying to just throw you money away?

If a school district ever required my (nonexistent) child to carry a device around that costs hundreds of dollars, i would pull my kid out of that district fater then they can say "but its our requirement!"

Are you KIDDING me? The last thing i want is for some 5th grader to steal my child's ipad that i paid for with my hard earned money.

If they want to provide them... and provide support.... and provide replacements to stolen ipads... free of charge from me... than fine. But this would never happen with our education budgets.

And dont come to me to replace the stupid thing when it comes up missing.

Im sorry but that is ridiculous.
