mac on Mac with Mac's yo.

I was a Windows System Admin for a Small company(or IT Generalist as Scott would call it). I took my new job 2.5 years ago, and I am one of 3 mac Mac users for the company now. I have since drank the Kool-aid and I love my Mac, and converted my home stuff over. Windows and linux work just fine in their VM's. Welcome aboard!

@lakshmana You need to find an exchange that accepts your currency. I have advice if you are using dollar in the United States, but if I recall you are in India, so i'm not sure. I would seek advice from a trustworthy community for bitcoin in your region. I follow /r/bitcoin on reddit, maybe those guys could help you out.

Also every argument about how bitcoin is scary or used for illegal purposes also applies to paper cash, and I will bet most people who say it is just used for criminals also have a just in case $20 in their back pocket. For me it is nice having a little side money that can easily be used in an emergency in any country on the planet and not linked to any government or overseeing body and can not be taken from me.

Just my two cents I thought about buying when it was at $0.10 and I didn't Then it hit $200 a coin. So I said "I'm not doing that again, so I put my money where my mouth is and bought when it was $250 a coin. I buy $10-15 a week, nothing more than I am ok with loosing. Right now it is at $2,500 a bitcoin. I have bought a few things, but for the most part it is just a play hobby. I currently own .400 of 1 bitcoin. I know it could all go up in flames, but a 10 fold investment isn't a bad side hobby to have. I suggest everyone who wants to learn about it, buy in, but never spend more money than you would be ok with loosing.

I have no idea where they came from, but we bought a company that had these 4 foot tall enclosed racks on wheels in all of their field offices. they locked front and rear, and were big enough for a mouse, keyboard and monitor to sit on top. with a KVM inside the door. If you have the space, I loved these things. They were durable, enough to live in retail store back rooms, and easy to work on. Similar to this.

I used to use Trustwave for external PCI pen testing.

PCI compliance is an absolute joke. As are the auditors who charge money to "test" for compliance.

How to be compliant really quickly?

• Get second internet connection, All ports in blocked.
• Place PCI traffic onto that internet connection and isolate it on its own network.
• Ask to run the test, success, you passed.

External testing for low levels sure, but SAQ-B for a company that holds credit card numbers and does charges to recover losses to those cards is a whole different ball game. I took my job quite seriously.

I used to use Trustwave for external PCI pen testing. They were a solid meh. It let me fill in the box that we had been externally scanned for vulnerabilities from a third party on our self assessment. That being said if they found anything that needed attention they would never give any advice or talk with me, just hand me a report with a yellow or red dot on it, and tell me I can request another scan after updating my config. I'm assuming to cover their asses, but it was frustrating that they were so close lipped for the amount of money we were giving them.

Burgers, Beer, and Swimming tonight, then going to see John Mulaney tomorrow night in Springfield.
