So anyway, my wife's boss got fired today because she ordered a bunch of shit from amazon on the library's credit card. And then did it again. And then did it again. And got investigated by the FBI (or some other agency - not clear on this detail) about it. And then did it again.
Microsoft called in the FBI last year to investigate. The company now requires employees to get more approvals from managers before ordering software. <-- no shit, it's impossible now
@MDMarra Redmond Rose was a little bit of a celebrity here from 1991 or 1992 until 2005 or so
I have a friend at IBM who does something like that; any servers that they need they have to pay for, but the prices are absurd. He could get top-spec servers for like $1,000
I got an offer from an IBM company but turned them down. They were weird. You had to get Linux on the laptop, but you chose the distro. And if you wanted you could have a Windows VM.
We've already detected spear-fish emails sent to people high in the organisation.
Is there a way to defend against these attacks short of creating an air gap between the network these documents are on and the internet?
Spear-phishing suggests to me that you need to focus on defending yo...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenix <-- this is not true: All internal Microsoft email transport was done on Xenix-based 68000 systems until 1995-96, when the company moved to its own Exchange Server product.
@MDMarra It's not really a choice... any business is technically supposed to send 1099 Copy B regardless. Also, Copy A with a 1096 cover for the IRS regardless.
@Magellan Depends on what you're doing. If you want quick-n-easy, Adsense isn't bad. If you have a site / app that has decent traffic (I believe 30,000 unique viewers per month) I'd recommend getting involved in buysellads.com
@Magellan Adbrite went teets up, which was a good Adsense competitor. Apparently not good enough though. =/ Kontera does those asinine text ads that pop up an ad when you roll over the text, and while they're annoying as frick, they have an enormous CTR/ROI
@Magellan Oh right, forgot about that. Let me look at my notes on ad networks.
@Magellan Cyanogen has serious issues with GPS drivers being closed source
if you rely on anything GPS on Android, best to go with a Nexus or Play device. I'd buy the most recent one (I think the Moto with 4.4?) as it will have support the longest
the Google way of leaving devices behind was an endless source of frustration
@Magellan You could install your own OpenX server and then put your ad space up on the open marketplace (OpenX isn't that difficult to set up, I've done it in a few hours).
@RyJones been that way since Droid1 too. I think I got 2 updates in 5 months and that was it. Could only buy accessories for it for maybe 4 months before it was orphaned.
@Wesley Hmm. I'll likely need a VPS for that, yes?
Can someone help me diagnose this error in my NGINX error log? I see this error repeatedly.

I think we use 52 card pickup management here. Nothing happens, there's a crisis, everything is fucked for a while, a release happens without meaning to
my wife works with a lot of publishers. She said "Write something good. Find publishers accepting manuscripts. Give it to all of them. They will have an editor make it look like an actual book, then you're done
I have a good friend that's currently doing a PhD in English... we meet on the weekends to play racquetball... every weekend, he tells me about a new paper that he's writing, and every single time it's more pages than the sum total of all pages that I ever wrote in college. >_<
