Great... now I'm singing "Objects In The Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are" by Meatloaf in my head.

The response for stress in IT Security isn't any different than those in other high-stress careers like Fire. EMS, or Law Enforcement, but the local peer support group is much smaller in the IT field. If a firefighter has bad EMS or fire call, I have 30 guys in my own station that are going through or have went through the same thing. How many people in your organization can emphasize with your IT security stress?

If it's the original theatrical release as I saw it as a 6-year-old way back in 1977, then I'm stoked. If it's one of the later re-releases after George Lucas mucked around with the story (Han shot first!) and effects, then Turner Broadcasting can put them on a shelf and leave them there.

The first episode will star Jayqwellin, D-Nice, and Ay-Ay-Ron.

I stumbled across this website a couple of years ago and I'll occasionally use it to rip the audio from YouTube. I primarily download audio that I can't find other places, like live songs or rare performances. As a reformed Pirate Bay avid user, I now very rarely download any audio now that I don't pay for.

As for quality, I typically find that it's adequate for general use.... working out, playing through motorcycle speakers, etc. A true audiophile won't like the quality, but most of us can't tell the difference.

A movie will certainly have a computer composed soundtrack soon... but in 8-bit. Think Avatar 2 with "The Legend of Zelda" soundtrack running in the background.

The governor is a billionaire coal barron, and he's doing his best to revive coal as well. One major problem is that natural gas has taken over and the coal market just isn't there now. Aside from that, the cost to mine coal is way higher than it is for natural gas. To mine coal, you have to hire hundreds of miners, buy or lease really expensive equipment, dig a hole a couple of miles into the ground, then transport the product via truck or rail car to the buyer. To get natural gas, you drill a hole in the ground, insert a pipe, and connect it to other pipes.

Then, you have to factor in foreign competition. I used to work in IT for a coal company at the beginning of my career (mid '90s), and in spite of doing $160 million in business per year, we went bankrupt. It was cheaper then to mine coal in China and ship it to our local power plants than it was to mine it locally. I'm not sure that the coal market it to that point yet, but I expect to return to those days. Coal truck drivers here were making over $70k per year while their foreign counterparts were doing that for a fraction of the money.

Ironically, my office is in what used to be the headquarters for Columbia Gas Transmission in Charleston, WV, but that was bought out last year by TransCanada and several people were laid off. However, I don't work in the gas industry.

You're assuming that they laid eyes on each and every email. Once indexed in a software package like FTK or Encase, you could filter out all the emails from AdultFriendFinder.com AshleyMadison.com as well as Weiner pictures sent to a variety of barely legal and underage girls, leaving you with a very small set of emails to review.

In all sincerity, forensic software packages would make this easily possible due to indexing. You'd index these emails, hash all data, and drop the duplicates from the earlier discovery. Then, you could quickly drop all incoming spam and irrelevant emails by reviewing the To / From / CC / BCC list, then searching the resulting emails for keywords, resulting in a small group of emails that a handful of analysts could review in a short period of time.

FYI... I'm a forensic investigator.

I also own a 2014 Grand Cherokee... well, my live-in girlfriend does. I remember one day when she attempted to put it in park so that she could run into a convenience store for a moment, and she actually shifted into reverse. The whole time she was in the store, the car sat there in gear, and the only thing that kept the Jeep from rolling into traffic was the hill holder feature kept the car in place. Even when I drive it, I have to be very careful that I get the transmission into the correct gear.

What timing... I take delivery of my first hybrid today, a 2012 Toyota Prius. I did some basic math in making my decision, so I'll share:

This vehicle will replace a 2005 Chevy Uplander that we drove an average of 27,500 miles per year. The Uplander is getting 17.9 MPG at this point (according to the onboard computer), consuming 1,536 gallons of fuel annually. At the current price of $3.95 per gallon in my area, it costs $6,068 per year in just fuel (87 octane). Running the numbers again for the Prius, and assuming 45MPG, fuel will cost $2,413 per year... a savings of $3,655 annually, or $304 per month. Even after my wife added all the bells and whistles and extended warranty (she did that while I was out of the room), we will only be seeing a net outlay of $170 per month. And when my 13-year-old son goes to college, he will take this vehicle with him.

The Prius owners that I know are extremely satisfied, and one has had his since 2003. Although there are many other factors to consider, my monthly budget is certainly a major factor. I'm viewing this purchase this way: I'm buying a new car for $170 per month.

I'm a 20-year veteran of Fire and EMS, and I love what I do. In that time, I've seen some really nasty stuff (both accidental and intentional) like dead babies, shotgun suicides, etc. But I watched one of the beheading videos as well... and I wasn't ready for what I saw (or even worse, heard). It bothered me for a very long time because the sound of a dying man screaming through a gash in his throat is pretty fucking brutal.
