That's a lot worse. It's not just prohibition, it's a way to filter out anything negative through license enforcement.

Depends upon the type of recruiter. An external one will likely have a few follow-ups, because it's how they get paid. An internal one, however, won't bother unless the company is excessively on the huggy-feely side.

Yep. I've built quite a few useful shell scripts over the years for various employer tasks or demands. Only one of those have I taken with me, which was a quick 5-minute job to figure out what was causing a system to crash in absence o

Occam's Razor would say he logged in, saw a patient_data directory or something similar, and logged out. We don't know anything really about how his perusal or lack thereof had him come to that conclusion. If it was running batch

This is correct. Also a good overall note here is that the Constitution only applies between the government and the people. Private entities (businesses, for example) are not beholden to respect your rights. A point to bring up with regards

Obligatory: "Tokutek claims to improve MongoDB performance 20x. It is unclear if this also means losing 20x as many documents."

I know all of this, I know how to pick locks. Bumping is the most common attack as it requires relatively little skill and the least amount of time (short of dynamic entry). And most common locks are vulnerable to it, so that would include

As someone who's originally from California (not the Bay Area, though), let me tell you this: the cost of living, for what you get, is astronomically high compared to other places. Here in North Texas, I make around 100k/yr, and d

Not to mention that it will help your well-being in the long run. If you're always "on", that's extra stress that will lead to premature exhaustion and have you stroking out in your 40s or 50s. The more short term effect

And if you straight up loid the lock, forget about noise. It's not all loud noises from bumps or popping hinge pins out.

Fire codes can be assuaged in a variety of ways. For example, a Knox box is supposed to hold the master key to your building, but a front door key can sometimes get you to squeak by, depending upon the staffing level of your building (do yo

I've seen plenty of spammers, though. People who tag you in things that have nothing to do with you to only drop dodgy links.

Exactly. How does someone with money stay in money? Buy it cheap, stack it deep. Get stuff for super cheap and get a lot of it while it's cheap, so you don't have to buy it again when it's much more expensive, and can wait fo

Don't use a blast. It lacks the personalization. If it looks like a form letter, I assume you did keyword matching (which is the case 90+% of the time) and you're just playing a recruiter game of Glengarry Glen Ross. Be upfront an

Yep. Any time I see a recruiter try to automate initial contact using a tool like Jobdiva or some such, it's an instant disqualification. Most of the time it's just plain shotgunned out and I never hear anything beyond the initial

Not really. Don't forget that for the longest time home routers shipped broadcasting the default SSID with no password. Now they come preconfigured with a locked-down SSID and password (though the management interface is still usually

It wouldn't change a thing, at least not in any meaningful fashion. People want the latest whiz-bang thing and these devices are marketed to those who have the barest understanding of technology.

You're suggesting that someone should buy into a counter-offer. This is terrible advice. Accepting a counter-offer is a sure-fire way to get yourself shortlisted for the next round of layoffs. It also shows how wanting your company is

I used to work for Experian (I know, not Equifax, but it's an equivalent company). None of this surprises me. These companies will do anything they can to protect and maintain revenue streams. This includes avoiding security.

Thank you. Our lending officer and real estate agent are awesome folks, so if you're ever looking for real estate in the DFW area, let me know. We were complete novices coming in and left understanding enough to practically sell homes

I'm already on a conventional; I was able to get 3% because of my excellent credit and good income. I only have PMI because I didn't want to put the full 20% down. The amount saved for each monthly payment + PMI wouldn't be w

This is exactly what I was thinking. I think most of the commenters here aren't homeowners. I just bought a home. Even with excellent credit I still had to put down roughly 10k on the house (which was only 3%!) -- that includes the dow

In the land of infosec, it's always "when" something happens, not "if". You do your damndest to shore up defenses but a breach is inevitable.

The problem is the average adult has a miniscule attention span. Giving a bunch of data and a path to a conclusion, or even contrasting viewpoints, isn't going to solve the problem. One of two things will happen: 1) They want a summary

There's a huge market for Gopro and Contour. Makes sense that Google will attempt to capture some of it.
