How can I watch the YouTube Interviews Obama video? When I go to this video, it just seems to show the suit-chest with the tagline, sometimes with a countdown timer. If I try to scroll ahead, I get various other values for the countdown timer, but not always a lower time than previously. What is going on?

Can someone recommend a wireless keyboard/mouse combo That has like a ton of MMO buttons so that I can program a bunch of text macros into it? It's for work mostly, I end up having to say things repeatedly, and it would make my efficiency sky rocket if I didn't have to select the pre-defines from a scroll down menu.

I got the Logitech G510 (http://mobile-gaming.logitech.com/en-us/product/g510s-lcd-gaming-keyboard) to use at work for that exact purpose. I have about 15 of the 18 G keys programmed with blocks of text.

In that mouse article, there's a heading on "MMO mice":

quote:

Finally, there were the MMO mice. Based on advice from the professional gamers I talked to, the extra buttons on these mice often makes them awkward to grip and harder to control. For that reason, I didn’t think any of these mice could be considered the best gaming mouse for most people:

Razer Naga ($80)
Logitech G600 ($60)
Mad Catz MMO 7 ($106)
Corsair M95 ($80)

If you’re still dead set on an MMO mouse, the Razer Naga and Logitech G600 both have 4/5 star averages on Amazon–the G600 has 317 reviews, while the Naga has 1,470. The newest model of the Naga, the 2014 Edition, has a redesigned grip and slightly-reshaped side buttons designed to be easier to distinguish from one another. It’s been positively received at Overclock.net, and it runs the same Razer Synapse software as the DeathAdder (bonus: Razer also released a left-handed version of the 2014 Naga).

You're looking for that kind of mouse, right? There are links in the article if you need them for some reason.

More simply, if there is someone within 100 feet behind you and gaining in the left lane, you should be getting out of their way.

I can't find this other than something about Ra's jizz turning into Egyptian gods which is cool I guess.

But I did find dilemmas from misguided Catholics about eating their cum to avoid sinning:

quote:

I try to pray and sometimes the desire goes away, but by the end of the day, I can't help busting my nut. Sso if I eat the sperm, and it goes back in my body, is it still a sin?

Please help! My Father said his priest told him when he was a young boy to jerk off every morning before leaving the house so he would not have impure thoughts, and he should recycle his jizzim, so it would be acceptable in the eyes of God.

Edit: Holy poo poo, there's more!

quote:

Chris believes that by ingesting his own sperm he can "recycle" it, so that none of his potential children are lost, and so that his "semen count" (presumably he meant "sperm count") remains high, as though everyone is born with a finite number of sperm that they can eventually run out of if they don't swallow more.

Don't quote me on this but I think if you put a disclaimer in the body of the email that says it is confidential information and not to read it unless you are the intended recipient, that provides some level of protection. Then attach the stuff you need to send.

If you are faxing it you just need a cover sheet that says it is confidential with the sending and receiving info included that goes on top.

The law office where I work uses password protected .pdf files for this sort of thing, email the client the .pdfs or a link to the .pdfs (as would be in your case) then call the recipient and give them the password, once they verify some personal credentials. It's supposedly safe enough for attorney-client confidentiality, but I couldn't vouch for if it would be HIPPA acceptable.

I work in Healthcare IT (for a health information exchange, no less) and I can tell you that this is not acceptable practice for most places, and I'm not sure if it's allowed under HIPAA. A password protected file is not secure to a determined intruder.

HIPAA requires that encryption be in place any time that it is reasonable to do so. So it must be encrypted if it is going to travel over any public infrastructure, such as the internet, without an encrypted tunnel. If I had to move data of that nature over the internet, the simplest way would be to zip together the files, and encrypt the zip. You could email it or FTP it like that fairly safely. Phone call for the encryption key.

If you don't have encryption software, you can just use SFTP, which is encrypted by nature of using certificates, but you still have to perform a certificate exchange to make sure there's no middle-man attack.

The very simplest way, is to put it on a thumb drive, encrypt the drive and mail it/sneakernet. Then call with the encryption password.

My boss really wants it up on something Dropbox-style, and from what I've read, it seems like that requires some sort of business associate agreement, which we don't really have time to get, as he wants it up by end-of-business.

I don't know how accurate that is, or if encrypting it throwing it up on a private Google Drive would suffice...? My HIPAA training was about six years ago, and that poo poo changes hella fast.

Cloud services are largely considered insecure, since you do not control the data at rest at that point. You'd definitely need a BAA at the least, but I'm still not sure the HIPAA gods would be ok with that. You'd really need a compliance lawyer to address that.

SFTP is the method of choice because there's no third party involved.

Well, no. But AES encryption is the standard, while a passworded, unencrypted file is far more vulnerable.
