    Id agree the motive isnt super appealing and the risk/reward would be minimal. That is not to say that a malicious copy reapir man knows that. He could just probe for info and find, "not worth my time". Or if he figures that a significant portion of design work is done on one computer, that...

    I mean theoretically if the copier/fax machine is connected to the network and you access things over that network 3rd party external or otherwise, a well placed set of malware/ scripts could be used to exploit any number of vulns. Fax/copiers have hds and usually run oh so secure windows 98...

    Thanks man - yeah it was a goal of mine and took me about 5 years to get the money together. Lots of fun blowing the doors off of m5's and z06's in a straight line (until my gearing limits the stop speed). Its hard to believe that its the case, especially with the z06, but here is a video of one...

    +1 - Growing up in DC, turbo mosquitoes bugs etc and got cold/snowed fairly regularly. PNW rarely snows, rarely goes below 40 degrees and has about 5 bugs per square mile. Except for those flappy clicky things (technical term) that scare the shit out of you on mountain trails.

    True. I'd like to think that most people dont ram into people for sport, but who knows. Maybe that's a post for someone in the "tickle my pickle" thread.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    It rustles my Roomate's jimmies that I call them "accidents" since technically someone is at fault and could have been avoided. He refers to them as collisions. He rustles my jimmies cause fuck that - accidents are a subset of collisions.

    I grew up in Rockville and now live in the PNW. I loved the minuscule amount of snow it took to close Montgomery county schools. It got so bad that we once closed the school system for a day due to the threat of the snow and it actually never did. @uncognito - its not exactly people being...

    As someone who drives a car with Premium fuel, this has been the bain of my existence. Its pure supply and demand though. Most people get regular, so they "sell" them on the lower cost afforded by the higher markup for premium fuels. Its bullshit. If you really want to you can look into a DIY...

    Left big 4 IT consulting for smaller firm - AMA

    EDIT: I also think it had to do with the up or out culture that was at Deloitte. More or less sink or swim, but if you made it by jumping through smaller and higher hoops, then you were periodically promoted.

    Actually quite the opposite, I had to prove my knowledge to them over time. But it was a helping hand scenario. I took them out to a few lunches and dinners and we discussed the issues that they saw and how they could be fixed, and whenever possible I incorporated those issues with the larger...

    Left big 4 IT consulting for smaller firm - AMA

    To be absolutely fair, IT consulting comes in all shapes and sizes. In most scenarios, consultants do not program but rather get requirements or goals and bring the best solution through the use of the internal team. My job was not to program, but to work with our clients to suss out...

    I would totally agree long term, this should be the goal. But understanding how THE system you are tasked with working on is not something that comes over night. But of course, knowing that you must understand the complex system to improve it is absolutely key.

    Business Buzzword Bingo! Play this with colleagues during meetings for immediate success. Coupled with standing up in the middle of someone talking and asking "Ok - so what are we ACTUALLY trying to accomplish here?" and you are basically the VP. lol

    Keg Killa - I actually went the opposite route. I am now an information security and audit support consultant with a small firm. Before I was basically a PM on steriods. There are a number of reasons why people want to leave audit, probably best to focus on those to determine what about...

    Before I give more detail, I wanted to answer these questions. I double majored in Information Technology and Philosophy from a small private college in the NE US. The IT portion is what got me the job, but the critical thinking of philosophy is what got me to really excel at not drinking the...

    Interesting! Yea, I've always seen dreams as unresolved issues, or ideas. Depends on the mood, stress level and mindset surrounding the passed out unconscious. This was in response to iannis.

    If you want some awesome weird dreams, melatonin is where it's at. 5-10mg and you are gonna have some shit to remember the next morning. Not much after that though, kinda fades with the "come down" if you can even call it that

    Weird Dream Sharing

    I read somewhere that regularly smoking pot has a suppressive impact on dreams. I used to smoke regularly, but it was in high school, so I don't really recall if I had that same issue or not. Seems like that's what's up.
