My card is toast at this place. I was rated the first time.Originally Posted by bigplayer
Luckily I remember the shift manager's face and stature. She was very polite, but I'll avoid her if I see her.
This is the second time that you have suggested illegal activity. Don't do it again. APs are not criminals.

Every 15 minutes the changes to my database are stored. If my database is ever compromised or wiped out I can restore all data at any 15 minute increment for a couple of years. I leave and you wipe out my data base 7 months later I can restore it to any state in the history before you wiped it out. It is just a matter of finding the last uncorrupted interval or an uncorrupted interval and restoring the entire state of the computer. Do you really believe that all the stuff stored on computers are that vulnerable. IT specialists are smart enough to make sure that can't happen. Any big company either hires employee(s) or pays another company to protect their information. All you can do is inconvenience them a little until things are restored.
You talk about all sorts of stuff that you have no idea what the truth is. If you want people to respect your opinion, repeatedly showing them you don't know much about the things that you write about like you are an expert is not going to have people taking you seriously unless they are as ignorant on the subjects as you are.
Corporations all use a Redundant Array of Independent Disks ("RAID")
so that Hard Drives can be completely safe and can be instantly restored.
I am a heavy duty Mac User. All Mac computers come with "Time Machine"
permitting a user to restore a single file up to an entire Hard Drive's files.
My incremental backups are performed in the background on an hourly basis.
Not worried about peoples opinions of me. Can care less what people think of me. Humans are just a bunch of bandwagoners. Once you become famous and rich, everyone then jumps back on your back and says how awesome and right you were the whole time, but when you're at the bottom no one cares. Just a sick society really and dont care one bit anymore what anyone thinks.
The only criminals are the scum at the higher end of casino staff as well as others but i wont turn this into what you call a 'political post'. Funny how you say it's illegal activity, when we players have done nothing wrong but get thrown in a mug type book for just using our brain. If we then try to get justice from this unjust practice, we are the ones doing illegal activity. So funny, just a twisted sick society we live in.
What you and tthree dont understand is the point if someone with intentions of harming a company wants to or in this case 'destroying evidence' they will and there's nothing you or they can do about it. Your little restore features wont save you. They can pretty much lock you out, and do reprehensible damage.
The benefits of the cloud and great tech that we have been a witness to over the last two decades is a two edged sword. Those same benefits also come with great drawbacks. You cant have the cake and eat it too.
These days, SAN storage is used for many large-scale sites. Even this site uses SAN storage. The mirrored SSDs are not located with the processors or RAM. If someone puts a bullet through the processing chip, motherboard, or RAM; the hypervisor simply reassigns new processors, connects them to the SAN, and reboots. Takes a couple minutes with no human intervention. If an SSD fries, the mirror takes over, and a new mirror is created within a few minutes with no human intervention and no downtime.
I keep backups of the forum in California, Pennsylvania, and three in NY. The backups in CA and NY allow going back to the time you wish. Hacking the server would not give you access to the backups. For another $80 a month, I could set the site up to withstand a nuclear explosion by operating it both in the US and Europe with synchronized data. And, I'm just a guy running a tiny forum -- not a large corporation.
Stealing data is one thing, and it happens to incompetent organizations all too often. Surreptitious destruction of data is not possible without extraordinary incompetence.

Well I went back to the blackjack hall of fame place. I played a while with no perceivable heat. Unfortunately I didn't leave with any money (although I did start off like a rocket and then just hit a bad rut the rest of the night).
Hopefully I'm not on their radar again as id like to continue returning.
If they do back you off make sure to get a free buffet and if Max Rubin is around see if he can do the BO. I saw a picture on another site that someone took of the player with Max during the BO. Lol.
My Ability in Blackjack is a Gift from God!!
