Voice bots like Siri and Cortana are too obtrusive for public use (IMHO). I’d rather not hear what others are searching, and not share my computer commands with family or the public. Once we go to true “wetware” interfaces, thinking at Siri or Cortana wirelessly may make sense if it can be done securely and safetly. Both…

Wow--instead of reading "Killington", I saw "Klingon!" Had to re-read your note, since I wasn't aware of any Klingon Ski Resorts. Oops!

You've answered the ancient question: "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" Nicely done.

Yer killin' me here! "Your" "Quiet" In the words of Charlie Brown and his peers: "AAAUUUUGGHHHHH!!"

Natural Gas buses have replaced the stinky and loud public transportation in my city. We can see again and breath again on the streets. Electric probably isn't yet a perfect fit here due to the heavy cold season we experience. But I'll take anything that gets folks where they need to go, reliably, and if it doesn't cause…

Many thanks for pointing this out, kong.yang. Too many times optimization is missed or assumed, and not kept up as a regular recurring assignment.

See my comments on that earlier up in this same thread. I agreed with you--even before you provided your example--ha!

I head up fishing out of Beardmore . . . Nice country there!

Once you have one of these, you can step up into the remote/automation world. And think of the robotics competitions you could enter with your family! Celling mounted nerf sentry turret - YouTube Arduino Controlled Nerf Turret - YouTube FIRST STRONGHOLD Game Reveal - YouTube

All it really takes is great planning and great information sharing. If you can eliminate the assumptions (there'll always be enough power to the switch, there won't ever be issues with our existing cable bundles and heat, UPS and Generators will always be sufficient and never need to be off line, etc.), an organization…

Another list of head-shakers. People are bad, ignorant, and apparently unwilling to change. Security: I have never cared for this particular resource and its author and his comments. The disjointed and smarmy style is not helpful to improving relations, no matter the content. Ten Things: I liked this one, and wish some…

Wishing this were a Solarwinds "thing" since 2004.

Corp.com being taken over by MS? Thank goodness it went to someone with a long track record of excellent decision-making and good planning! (Although that statement might be taken with a chokingly large amount of tongue-in-cheek, I'm actually serious about being glad MS has corp.com now)

Wow! I've a basic understanding of some of the risks in an MRI environment, but that picture . . . either it's funny or it's scary. Do you know if it represents an actual incident, or was it set up to make a point for safety?

Apple, and all other software developers, MUST require secure coding and encryption. Or get out of the business.

The FB App is unreasonably thieving and insecure. The vast majority of access it requires is unnecessary (IMHO), and a big risk to my personal security. And I get no monetary reimbursement for letting them sell all my data to their advertisers. Hmph! What that App (and others like it) demand: * Identity – know your…

The security camera / motion sensor floodlight expands the idea of "What can we do with people who have too much money? I know! Let's build a light bulb with a security camera in it, and have it connect via (slow, unreliable, insecure) wireless. We'll charge $150 for every bulb, and then REALLY sock it to the consumer's…

I think of containers in terms of what I've seen in IT--products with specific niches, teams with specific responsibilities and narrow expertise--which we call "silos". What do think about the idea that DevOps containers have a parallel to those niches and silos? While breaking through our human silos, to share data and…

When banks went online, so did bank robbers. I'm old enough to remember community and neighborhood banking, where people rushed to get to the banks every other Friday before they closed, so they could deposit their pay checks. I have the impression that fewer dollars were lost to theft then, than are lost today via…

I recall the story where Steve Jobs evaluated a new model Apple/MAC during boot and sent it back to the engineers, saying something to the effect of "This takes 45 seconds from power-on to operational screen. No one wants to wait that long. Make it boot in 30 seconds or less. Now." It's one thing about Windows 10 upgrades…

Guilty, as charged.

"Burning Chrome" is the short story to read for that topic. Exciting and eye-opening. Keanu Reeves in Jonny Mnemonic was so-so, but obviously a logical predecessor to The Matrix. That laser whip was a mighty cutting tool from that movie!

Maybe something to suggest for the Thwack store? Or as prizes for winning weeks in a Mission? Of course, we'd want them to come in Solarwinds-Orange, with diagonal bacon stripes, right?

Shake Your Head And See Uber For What It Is: It's a good idea without ethical management. A company comprised of people acting like children who are trying to hide the vase they broke, rather than growing up and taking responsibility and paying to have it replaced, and learning from their mistakes, and from the mistakes…

Ransomware is bad everywhere. But minimizing its costs and impact when it applies to a school (the administrator says he doesn't think anything important was lost--except for seventeen years of work, exams, test answers, test results, etc.) certainly seems a dangerous line of Public Relations damage control. The effect of…

I agree--a trip to Cisco Live would be something I'd work for!
