    What do the chainers on I-80 charge for a rig? I know the going rate when I lived in Truckee was $40 for a car.

    Dunno if its even legal for the chainers to touch a big rig...DOT and liability makes.me think.so...
    Nevertheless, if its bad enough to.chain up, its bad enough to tell dispatch to go fuck themselves, Im parking it!
    Encrypt everything. Even if you have nothing to hide. It increases the noise floor.

    I came outta Salt Lick one morning in heavy snow (all night too) 35 mph right behind the snow plow southbound on I-15 in my little Toyota Tercel without snow tires.
    Been over Monida with same car many times in snow and strong cross wind.
    Don't use snow tires here either.

    I don't know, I always did it myself. As a matter of fact, I don't recall ever even seeing someone offer to chain up a big rig.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    There is something to be said for that and when it got really bad that's what I'd do. But when the storm had passed and weather was clear but the road still icy, well, I was paid by the mile so I wasn't making any money sitting in a truck stop.

    Preaching to the choir. I really wish we could at least setup OpenVPN for the IT-related folks, but we have very specific security requirements that OpenVPN can't meet.

    Hm... I figured since it's good enough for the IRS, it'd be good enough for most Enterprise systems. But, I feel ya. There is something about open-source that scares executives away at my employer too.
