I have bought gaming laptops for the last decade simply because I am in the Army and deploy overseas alot. The gaming laptops are not generally something I carry daily but they are easily manageable to get from one location to another via a plane flight. When I am overseas they generally sit in...

This kind of pissed me off, never knew about half of the subreddits but just on principle I overwrote two years worth of discussion submissions and deleted my reddit account, fuck them, RIP.

The old bait and switch.....funny how history repeats itself. This will be entertaining.

I think most contractors that I know would take a GS position not for the pay but for the stability. For the same reasons you mentioned above contracting is ridiculously volatile. I'm not sure how close you are to DOD but they have been making some incredible headway in the last few years...

Actually there is a one network concept working through DOD so slow down there angry guy. Also don't assume I agree with everything the military or government does. It's still not going to change the fact that you have four separate services. Cyber is not a standalone function and you can...

Just have a common name and you are good to go... John Smith...Juan Garcia.....good fucking luck nailing that guy down.

Definitely not a technical problem, I am having issues getting broadband in an area I am moving into in upstate New York. Verizon controls the monopoly in the region I am moving into and tries to direct all it's semi-rural customers to it's 4G as a broadband alternative. They have no unlimited...

I vow to quit smoking for good, to spend more time with my kids, to think about when I am drinking and to drink moderately, and to quit procrastinating and schedule my CISSP exam that I have been studying for forever and am overqualified for by now. I also intend to dedicate at least 10 hours a...

I have read CNN for years, I can almost predict their MO for selecting stories. Basically anything racially charged or that will generate gun control debate they will jump all over. Recently (within the last 6 months) they have started to disable comments on these stories which I believe is...

You are one smart dude. I kind of feel the same way on the starting to peak intellectually. There is definitely a human limit to how complex we can be without specialization. As humans of course we like simplicity and want to be well rounded so everyone will learn basic coding and understand how...

You are absolutely correct except for your extreme examples, the reason they want you young and in shape is so you don't have a medical emergency where adequate facilities may not exist and become a burden on the very fighting organization you are there to support. Cyber doesn't exist in a...

Also the new class your describing is pretty much what a GS position is. It's a DA Civilian.

Realistically while a good thought I don't think this would be manageable, there are way too many grey areas and there is a high level of tech that requires extremely intelligent (and fat) engineers embedded with your first class.

I'm stealing this, thanks. Also I think we must now consider neckbeards as well because these shaving regulations are hurting our national defense.

It's because the services all run their own networks and it would be difficult to defend another services networks. Trust me I know what I am talking about. Also I think this article is misleading in discussing this as a Cyber only problem, PT standards are an issue across the services in...

They don't know anything about gaming. Cocaine and hookers pretty much trumps gaming and the internet is just a tool to order more cocaine or hookers.

I have a GED, and three guys with bachelors degrees work for me, education isn't everything.

Considering one of them did a live interview allow me to assist in the investigation.... http://news.sky.com/story/1398435/xbox-hacker-reveals-why-he-attacked-consoles Case closed. Next.

Thank your IA guys.

On one hand I bet senior NSA officials are pissed about the mismanagement of their program causing such a huge PR nightmare with the American public....OTOH they couldn't buy PR better than the American conspiracy theorist and the entire world now thinks there are squads of NSA analysts...

The FCC won't even allow prisons to block RF bands (and they have a legitimate need to block criminal organizations being run from smuggled cell phone) so I don't see how Marriot would get an exception. Then again prison is full of bad criminals while the FCC and Marriott are probably full of...

They don't own the RF band or the airspace, you aren't paying for oxygen when you walk in the hotel are you, are you saying that you should have to pay for oxygen?

Nerds and athletes, that will end well.

I'm sure McAfee "Security Engineers" will be right there to help the Congressman interpret what the data means. I am also sure that the new law will somehow require McAfee products. I am also sure those products will not be free and will probably require constant updates and will probably be...

I was kind of with you when I thought about it from a cost perspective, for instance, shouldn't private corporations be responsible for their own security? The problem is we have nation states engaging in cyber attacks, espionage, whatever. The U.S. could easily afford to ignore it if it were...

I am overseas.

I could probably get an American white male to kill himself if I created a show utilizing CNN and MSNBC correspondents. Imagine Rachel Maddow followed by Ashleigh Banfield, Al Sharpton and Anderson Cooper for the coop de grace. The Kill Whitey Network!

As a white male I enjoy FOX, as long as nothing on any news outlet is true I might as well watch the fiction designed for me. It beats the CNN, MSNBC kill whitey narrative.

I agree that there is nothing fun about going to a movie theater in the age of cell phones. I prefer to just wait and honestly as I've gotten older I've discovered that it is very seldom that I will actually watch a movie more than once anymore so we will typically rent them via our DVR. I...

Why are they auctioning it, couldn't they just go to an exchange and exchange currency? I am confused.

WOW, I have to save this post for future arguments...good stuff.

I really don't understand people that are against net neutrality. I am almost positive that either a.) They don't understand how the internet works or b.) They work for one of the large ISPs. I am really not left at all, pro gun, pro business, but trying to profit on the pipes themselves just...

I love the disclaimer up front that if you don't agree with this it's because you are part of the privileged male class and the problem is invisible to you. First the internet is global and maybe we should address males who still treat women as property before we get carried away on stupid...

Yeah I saw the second link also, I'll probably never be able to afford one...ever and it makes me sad. I searched high and low for a Black Friday and Cyber Monday deal on ancient tech to no avail and only managed to piss off Ferguson protestors in the process. Perhaps someone could let me...

On a related note to the actual article...check it out...the guy in the video actually made a modern day time piece based on the technology... http://www.hublot.com/en/news/the-hublot-antikythera-watch# I have got to get me one of these things. It would be awesome to own a watch based on...

This is the same site I read articles about how companies are taking tax dollars and NOT rolling out infrastructure? It would be possible except we'll be so far behind the rest of the world by then that the President of the U.S.A. (sponsored by Verizon) won't make enough to afford a premium...

This company is nothing but a lawsuit mill that's running out of money, pretty much the embodiment of everything that is wrong with our judicial system. from the article..."The lawsuit takes place against the background of serious difficulties at Rightscorp. The company is near bankruptcy...

He should have bought some Bitcoin and stashed it offline somewhere for his hot wife.
