  1. How about this...

    Take a large piece of charcoal and shove it where the sun don't shine since we know it's tight enough back there to provide some solid compression.  Add in your body heat and you should be able to produce a nice rock.   If it doesn't work, you can look at it like a nice liberating experience.

  2. AWS, Google, and Microsoft, plus throw in all the other cloud providers out there and it doesn't matter.  They can provide some security features and they are exempt from responsibility if your application has a flaw, or your routing protocols, or your firewall applications.  It's all the same for IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS. 

    Take responsibility for your own environment and make it as hard as possible to gain entry. 

    Current place I am working at, we are working through some early 2000's type architecture and reworking everything from perimeter, network segmentations, and more.  Plus, before we move to Azure and even turn on one website I am making sure it's been tested and as secure as we can possibly make it. 

  3. This type of attack is not going to stop.

    For years, I've said anything with a 1 & 0 can be hacked.  Then it came true, granted, I had some insider knowledge about Intel/AMD chips.  Until we recognize that in a digital/computerized world, security needs to come first, second, and last, with application functionality in the middle we will always remain vulnerable. 

    Even then, creative minds will find a way to hack anything with a 1 & 0.

    For a major city to be hacked it should get more publicity and be a warning sign for others to ensure they make it as hard as possible to gain entry.  

    Lastly, humans are mostly oblivious and trusting when it comes to social engineering and are the weakest link in most cases.  Doesn't matter if you have a 14 character, upper case, lower case, number and special character with no dictionary words in your password.  If you give away the right information or provide access to the right hacker, you're fubar.

    I don't blame him for transferring....he never got to play. We could've won the Duke game if Shaka had used Banks down the stretch to check Bagley. Instead, coach dumbass went small and let Bagley assrape us repeatedly....no lube at all.

    Neither do I and for the life of me I can't understand why coaches do stupid in game decision making like this.   Oh, this is working, we are winning/making a come back, oh, let's put in this other guy so everyone can have equal playing time.  WTH?!  Where did the killer mentality (read competitiveness) go?

    Doc, I understand that you are tall, but your personal experience (assuming that you were a consistent user of the drug mentioned in the study) appears to be an outlier.  The study mentioned in the OP included over 600 people.  I'm not a statistician, but it seems like the reported results had some statistical significance.

    Yes, and out of respect for the sincerity of the subject, I didn't have the H, I do/did have the rest and was never on Ritalin or meds for it.  I learned how to cope and eased through most of primary schooling despite getting sent to the principal's office, detention, and general ruckus instigation because I was bored.  😂

    mr. holliday, you were well on your way to 7'11" until that first marlboro.

    Yes, was actually supposed to be 7'2" and I'm happily at my height which technically could be considered stunted. 😂

  6. I've stayed away from most of the opinions around shaka and my only question is why is he not running havoc?  the system that brought him here? 

    If you say because we don't have the players for it, I think BS should be called.  it's a system that can be run with 90% of any D1 player.  

    is it the fact that a good basketball program in a power 5 knows how to break a press?  if so, fire him.  o.O

  7. Not looking to get into the politics of this...more focused on industry impact...

    http://www.healthcareitnews.com/news/house-balks-10-billion-price-tag-va-cerner-ehr-project

    With the budget approved, Cerner is to receive 10 billion dollars, 1B/year, for 10 years to provide their EHR application to all VA sites.

    This is quite a deal for Cerner and where does that leave the rest of the industry?  How will EPIC fare?  What about the medium sized to small EHR shops?  Allscripts, Athena, eCW, etc.?

    My thought is that EPIC and Athena will be fine due to their large contracts across the nation.  Will the others be able to keep up with market trends of costs to provide meaningful healthcare rising, at the same time, insurance/CMMS paying less, larger impact of data/analytics, etc?  I only know of 2 large organizations this past year staying in the black while everyone else was in the red.  Those two being HCA and UHS.  UHS to me is in a different category though because they are primarily behavioral health with only a few true hospitals.   I know of many individual practices that no longer process insurance claims and are cash only and with a 2-3 doctor office that can work if your reputation and bedside manner is on point and schedule stays full.

    Can the big players like Ascension, Kaiser, CHI, Tenet, etc. keep purchasing smaller systems?  Or are they just creating a new healthcare bubble based on unstainable debts and loss of profits?
