The type of cursive taught in American schools is a pretty awful writing system and does require a lot of skill to produce legible script. However, there is another type of cursive that's significantly faster than printing, but it&#x27

If you're single 105k in DC is amazing. If you have a family, you will have everything you NEED, but you won't be living by most peoples' definitions of "very comfortably".

Using a VM is the standard way to analyze malware. There is a threat, but its not considered to be significant at this point. If you were analyzing a malware sample that you knew for a fact performed VM escape, you would run it in a VM on a

Lots of people with TS clearances hate Trump, but most aren't going to ruin their lives just because the president is an asshole. You'd end up ruining a lot of careers and chances are you'd never stop a single leak.

There are things that can easily be detected and cause you to have issues with a clearance. For example, if you get arrested or have other significant legal issues, someone will probably find out. Also, if you stop paying your bills long en

I'm a security analyst at an MSSP with hundreds of large companies as customers. The typical response would be to press charges and try to send you to prison.

Not sure what the norm is, but I reported a fake account using my wife's picture (just a single, regular portrait) and it was removed within 5 minutes. A month would be ridiculous. I wonder if that happens often?

The commenter you are replying to is making the claim that Aaron Schwartz did all of the work that made Reddit one of the largest websites in the world. That's why he describes Steve and Alexis as "Being born on third."

How is selling a premium service to make more money by using a clever marketing campaign that labels it as a "sponsorship" anti-capitalist?

Thanks! I actually pre-ordered that James Forshaw book a few months ago. I'll probably wait until release to begin reading.

I don't know if this one was detected in the wild or not (99% chance it was), however, malware authors occasionally use Virustotal too.

Depends on the terrorist. Some organizations want to bring about the end of western influence in the middle east, some are delusional and think they will rule the world.

My comment ended with a question. The point was to gain an understanding of why this process is common and/or useful. I'm interested because I work in a related field and I may eventually try to become a developer. I was just curi

That's interesting. I struggle with imposter syndrome, so I only apply to things I feel pretty confident about. I've also never failed to get an offer though.

Do you really have people apply that don't even know the syntax for a single language?

Here's my issue with it. I've taken a few programming classes. I could easily write fizzbuzz as soon as I understood the syntax for loops. So, we're talking day 1 of programming class. I could write it in like 4-5 different l

I agree completely. There are books that cover the same content in many cases, but not always. I've read quite a few of these books, sometimes they are actually better. I was fortunate enough to take all of my courses for free, but if

You won't be sidelined. If you internalize most of the material from your SANS courses you'll probably be smarter than 2/3 of the people in this industry, if not more. Most of the articles like this seem to come from people i

Many certifications are worthless, but I would argue that not all of them are. I learned more useful, practical concepts and skills by taking a couple of SANS courses than I did in four years of a CIS program at a University. Both my univer

Just gotta keep an eye out for a deal, I think there was one on /r/buildapcsales for $27 recently. I paid around $60 for a Corsair a couple of years ago. I'm sure slightly less fancy brands or models go for under $50 once in

I think a lot of us aren't excited yet because it costs $5000 and therefore isn't a realistic option for most people. When the price comes down, I'll be ecstatic.

Is this something new or is it another rebranded Clevo? The Galago Ultrapro they released a couple of years ago had amazing specs, but the keyboard had a design flaw they refused to fix properly. Some Clevos are OK, but many of them have de
