whitequark changed the topic of #tinyqma to: design of an open hardware DDS-based QMA with a low-voltage dc/rf stage :: http://irclog.whitequark.org/tinyqma
<whitequark> bofh__: every single laptop has to be encrypted
<whitequark> the network security people have policies that require a 10-minute call before you can set up a new machine
<whitequark> before you can plug your machine in, you have to attend a several-hour network security training
<whitequark> they have a HOMEGROWN VPN CLIENT
<whitequark> like, holy fuck, where does the madness end
<whitequark> ... the "$ORG-Visitor" network is protected with WEP because lol that makes sense somehow apparently

<bofh__> whitequark: that's *totally fucking insane*
<bofh__> it's, iirc, a quantum computation lab
<bofh__> i.e. so far removed from anything immediately practical and ALREADY pretty much open in terms of all results being published quickly
<bofh__> also rofl WEP
<bofh__> that's still around
<bofh__> +?*
<bofh__> amazing
<bofh__> it's actually quicker for me to use aircrack-ng than to ask someone for their WEP key when I'm visiting
<bofh__> it's that fucking broken
