If you think that this won't be abused, you're foolish. Paul Timmins gave a speech at NotACon in 2008 (or maybe 2009) about his experiences with getting arrested for the Lowe's breach in 2005. In the agents vigor to seize eq

I wish that LinkedIn had the ability to disable your profile. I'm not looking for a job, I'm not looking to connect with recruiters, and I really don't like the ability for one of my exes to publicly see where I'm workin

Or, you can do what I do -- a barcode scanner near my trash can that scans the UPC codes of everything that I throw away (or recycle) and adds it to my shopping list for the next time that I'm out.

I had a company effectively tell me the same thing -- that taking their job would be disastrous for my hobbies/family ("We work from 10AM until 11PM most days, and later on Friday and Saturday") and then gave me a salary form

I've been on (and managed) both in-house and remote teams. As an employee, I love the flexibility of working for a remote team -- you're more focused on getting the work done versus spending 'x' hours a day in your offi

I'm wondering if the rapid decrease in the number of flights out of CVG might have also caused the security waits -- since Delta left the Cincinnati airport once the Northwest merger was approved, they keep on cutting flights back...

Forge.mil is a mess -- and will probably always be a mess until they ditch Collabnet's SourceForge Enterprise Edition as a platform. There is code out there that would transform GitLab's Open source edition to use PKI for authenti

Most of the labs have moved away from being owned by the public to being owned by corporations (Los Alamos is now owned by a company called LANS -- Los Alamos National Security -- partially owned by the University of California); my friend

I'm really surprised that neither KPCB or Pao has settled this out of court. It's going to be a nasty airing of dirty laundry across the board by the time this thing is over...

This type of activity isn't limited to major metro cities -- it's happening (with surprisingly frequency) in the midwest. Cincinnat/Hamilton County is notorious for doing this type of thing, but instead of with Methadone, it

These have been in use for a while -- in 1996/1997, the radio station I worked for had Satellite clocks that we would use to get into and out of baseball and football games -- ideally, our schedules would match a hard break on the cloc

I have a really hard time believing that this will pass constitutional muster if this ever the use of this device ever gets challenged or gets into the court system. One's home is generally sacrosanct -- there are some exceptions, but

This is something that I've toyed around with a CANbus hacker called CANiTM (which is open source hardware) -- while I have Nationwide Insurance, I did call up Progressive and ask for a snapshot; they sent one to my house, and I was a

Depending on where you live, that's exactly what happens. In Kentucky, they'll send (usually) 3 state troopers, and knock on your door. If the person that they want isn't at home, they'll take your word for it, and let

So, I'm obese. I have no problems admitting that -- at my heaviest, I was 400 pounds, and while I'm nowhere close to the weight that I want to be, I watch my diet, work out every day, and try to live a life that promotes a great

This is a little bit different from the accounting 13 month calendar -- an "Adjustment" month that usually falls in the next FY that the accounting/auditors can do adjustments and still have 'true' dates on everythi

About 10 years ago, I dated a woman who worked at a distillery, and they were looking for some software to automate the labeling and shipping process for their bottle and label samples. FedEx just released their API, so, I wrote them a lit

The adjustable frame/movable base for the geekdesk can be found on alibaba for less than $200/shipped. I bought the frame, then went to Lowe's and had a semi-custom countertop made for my frame, and my end cost was around $3

From a licensing point of view, Philadelphia is interesting. The PPA manages the licensing of Taxi and Limo services in Philadelphia, but, outside of the county, it's all the PA Department of Transportation. Pennsylvania constables c

I've been a contractor for one of the Big 3 at one point in the early 2000's. I was given a Kia at Enterprise to drive, and when I came out on my first day, it was encased with no less than 300 pallets and shrinkwrap. Apparently,

I go to a doctor who always takes his own blood pressure readings. He also goes over every word that the nurse has charted, to make sure that he's not missing anything. I have moved a few times, and I now happily make the two+ hour jo

My neurologist is relatively old-school -- he uses an EMR in the room to order scripts and lab works, however, he uses his time with me talking to me, and then enters records into his EMR in between appointments. As such, I prefer visiting

I [semi-foolishly] graduated from law school in 2008. I was fortunate, as an employer paid for the cost of my law degree (and for my bar exam), and then laid me off in 2010 due to the economy tanking (and forgave all of my debt). Since gra

The biggest issue that I have with this is that the government regulations are meaningless these days due to lack of code enforcement. Two great examples: 1.) Staying in Fremont, CA, needing a trip to the San Jose airport at 4:50 in the mor
