How many times to serious potential terrorists use channels that could be monitored by the governments? I'd figure - except for the low-hanging fruit that would probably expire themselves whilst hooking up their explosives, doing us all a favor in the process - that the _real_ bad guys would be almost out of reach as far as surveillance goes. I mean, don't they all have encrypted private networks, if not at least encrypted phones, and other methods of communication?
So, of this volume of data, how much of it really pertains to serious, credible threats? Of course, that's the answer the gov wants, but, seriously, are the most dangerous bad guys really that stupid to communicate their plans almost in the clear?
I wonder whether there's reason to respect the police. This, by the way, is just the tip of the iceberg because it only covers what was put up on YouTube. What about the stuff that's not captured on camera? Or the stuff that was done years ago before there was a YouTube?
Add it all up, and I have to agree with whomever it was that said, "Fuck tha police." When they start treating us with respect, I'll reconsider.
Just happened to me, the other day. In spite of our "take the time to do it right" slogans all over the place, I have to have $this done _today_, even if it sucks.
We're not a small, back-ass outfit. We're a global, Fortune 25 or so. And it's not an isolated incident.
Let's say the FCC rolls over and says, "Sure! Plug all the holes you want!" and the SOC becomes reality. Then what? Will I be prevented from using a video camera to record the TV screen as it's playing? Digital implants in our optic nerves to prevent us from seeing contents for which we haven't paid?
Similarly, someone else got busted for my speeding - though I'm pretty sure I'm not the guy in your case. In my case, I _know_ I was speeding: about 80 in a 65 zone. I was first of about half a dozen cars coming around a corner, had my radar detector on, and saw the cop sitting next to the off-ramp. Just as I saw him, I slowed - even though my usually infallible detector didn't make a peep. But just after I slowed, my laser indicator went off, and, sure enough, as we passed him, he tore out after us. Fully expecting to get pulled over, I started preparing for the worst. Instead, he nabbed somebody else three cars back. Unless they didn't slow when I did, there's no way they were going faster than me, since I'd passed them all just before that curve.
Based on that, I really question the accuracy of lidar.
The first "lords" and "kings" were simply early examples of those who were better at robbing and bludgeoning others, and then putting on airs about it. A deification of thieves, if you will.
All throughout history, one man has tried to better another, and not always through "honest" methods. This is nothing new. It doesn't make it right, by any means, but complaining about it won't fix it.
Time for a better/. analogy: I know / work with quite a few people who program in C daily for their paychecks, but couldn't figure out Perl, sh, Python, etc. if their lives depended on it.
I once applied for unemployment and had this dour man tell me about all sorts of things that would disqualify me from unemployment if I did them, and I remember laughing at him, at some point, just because of the extreme ridiculousness of some of their stipulations. He said, very matter of factly, that it was no laughing matter; they would, at the very least, stop my benefits, among other things, if they found out that I engaged in any of those things. Simple things like work an hour a week, or whatever it was at the time.
I would take this seriously, and contact a labor lawyer. It shouldn't be hard to find one. At worst, you can call any local law office and they can probably recommend someone, if they don't do it themselves.
Yeah, she's hot, but you could at least have a conversation with Velma. Now, if geek chatter isn't important to you after lighting the "Tilt" button...
Just a suggestion, but maybe you should wear underwear... Of course, there are situations where you have to zip-and-dash, like when your girlfriend's husband walks in, unannounced - the nerve... - but, generally, I've found that the judicious use of Underoos helps prevent biting zip-ups.
Geez, if there were something like that when _I_ was a kid, maybe I wouldn't have had to wait until I was in high school to figure it out on my own. Whom do I sue for depriving me of this "education"?
If this was intentional, I can imagine Apple would be none too happy. Might even yank the developer's credentials. If it's an oversight, I'm surprised it got by testers.
You would think, by now, that someone would have come in and cleaned up the network and battened the hatches. After all the publicity this has gotten, if there's _still_ a hole for Child's to access, then they deserve whatever skull-fucking he can give them.
I know these are government employees, but, as I said, with the publicity surrounding this one, they might have justified breaking the piggy bank to pay for a real network guru to give it a once-over, at least.

Yeah, but does it run Solaris?

Maybe the uber-geek just didn't want the competition within his own group. Even geeks can be territorial.

Dogs, probably. It's conceivable that a home-owner would unleash his german shepherd - or what have you - on you if you came to arrest him.
Racist? How so? If anything, we're called "un-American" for asserting our individuality. Isn't _that_ the height of irony?
The R's continually asked why we hated democracy, freedom and America, when we dared question Bush's strategy.

Should it be "Go Google Go Language"?

Methinks you should've replied anonymously. They _can_ still come after you.

Who said anything about "KY"? This is America - we don't play nice.

He's a danger to their network only if no one has yet changed the passwords on the routers and other equipment.
I'm sorry. Was there an "embrace" phase, yet?
How do you figure? If she found out, the bad guys can, too.
And, what? Someone's holding a gun to their head to make them do that job?
