Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but it seems that he violate wiretap laws by listening in to the conversation. Neither party knew he was listening in. I would have though for sure they would have charged him for listening which in reality wasn't necessary to prove his point.

Wouldn't it be simple enough to resolve this issue with fitting the "claw" that holds the pizza on a gimbal so the pizza can remain level during flight?

Well it seems that they had the redundant systems in the same building. when designing redundant systems its best to avoid common mode failure when ever possible.

You may want to look at what they are doing with avalibility groups. You can avoid the shared storage with avaliblity groups and could cut your hardware costs a bit. assuming you your software support SQL 2012. Link http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff877884.aspx

I was really hoping for a more in-depth description of what NOSQL has to offer over other DB options.

Working in IT in most organizations is soul sucking.

Yes

I have never understood why software tokens have been allowed to be considered a "factor" in multi factor authentication. Particulary when it is stored on the same laptop/computer that the user is utilizing to connect to the secure resource. Doesn't it make more sense to have each factor seperated by an air gap or alternate communiation channel? That way if the system where the users is typing a password is compromised only the password is compromissed with possibly the ping from the token which would be a one time key. Even if the one time key and the password are comprimised the attacker basicly has to use it at the same time.

Exactly, and i will take it one step further. What if they do thier best to secure their device but it only allows the use of protocols with know security issues. Think WEP when that was about all there was for a home user. Hell my parents got a new cable modem/router/access point from their ISP and the thing only supprted WEP. That was last year! I also think people should be able to share their wifi with whoever they want and not have to worry about being held responsible for what someone else does with it.

that it will stem the tied of frivolus mass lawsuits. My guess is they will just pick a different tactic. I suspect that we will see some court decisions and or laws past that will make the person paying for the service assocated with the IP address responsible for all traffic that is sent or received.

I only work one day from home a week and I miss out on a lot. I find that I have to pester people far more often to get updates about projects or issues.

I primarily OS X and Linux at home but I continue to use Windows at work so I keep test systems around at home to keep up on the latest Microsoft technology. Every IT shop I have worked at out of college has been all Microsoft.
