It may have only been this way because the company I was working at was using ancient equipment - but we had our level 1 and level 2 controls on a thicknet (10Base2) backbone.
Nobody even knows how to use a "vampire tap" anymore!
++ Absolutely correct!!
SCADA should be considered a Level II control system, and subject to the same degree of security as the devices that are actually controlling the valves!
In Maryland this law is based on a wiretap statute against recording audio... so presumably silent security camera recordings and traffic cameras are not covered.
that this is news. I don't know how much they've dumbed down the test since then, but in the days when you still had to learn code at 5wpm for a novice license - ANYONE who passed the written exam had enough knowledge to build an antenna. Hell, anyone who could get a tech or general class license (the minimums that allowed voice communication) could have designed the transmitter as well!
Get off my lawn!

Something similar happened to me about ten years ago. My toddler aged daughter was undergoing nuclear scans to track her cancer treatments, and I was told that for the next 48 hours I should wear gloves when changing her diapers. A week later I get a call from some "government agency" asking why my garbage was emitting radioactivity! After I explained about the underlying medical issues, (including the fact that I-131 has a half-life of a couple days) there was no further problem.
But here's the kicker, since I use a community dumpster, the only way the could identify me was to get the information from mail in my (presumably radioactive) trash.
I learned two things from the encounter,
1 - I need to get a shredder.
2 - That someone has what may be the worst job in the world... radioactive dumpster diving.

While it's interesting to see the scriptural basis for the prohibition on depicting living beings (I had no idea it encompassed animals as well). I'm sure you recognize the difficulty of getting an international (but western oriented) community like Wikipedia to observe Sharia law on this subject.
Wouldn't a reasonable compromise be to ask the Wikipedia moderators, that since the images are offensive to Muslims, that they should be moved to a linked page, so that believers would not come across them by mistake?
To demand the rest of the world to agree with one religion on the subject of blasphemy is impossible but not really necessary, when asking for a degree of politeness and sensitivity would suffice.
Now I'm as anti Microsoft as anyone, but that good/evil dichotomy just doesn't fly.
While Stallman's work has been instrumental in creating many of the tools (software and legal) we're now taking for granted... Supporting the FSF doesn't mean we have to join the "Cult of RMS" and accept every word as absolute truth.
And while I grit my teeth every time I have to walk past the University or Hospital buildings with his name on it, you have to admit that Gate's money has done some good for the world.
Now, this is treading very closely to the concept of a perpetual motion machine...
So there has to be some kind of catch. (Besides of course the cost of manufacture)
Any generator eats some kind of force when operating with a load, ie: crank the armiture (sp), push the magnet, etc... How much heat does it put out?
This might not be a bad thing. The article doesn't mention if it dampens the vibration of the "nano unit", if so this might have unforseen applications, for shock absorbtion, sound proofing, who knows?
If there's waste heat, how can it be used? Hot water heaters, or heated socks?
OSDL never gave $50,000 (or any other amount of money) to Groklaw.
OSRM (Open Source Risk Management), a completly different entity researching the need for imdemnification of Open Source projects, had briefly employed PJ.

As a matter of fact, quite possibly:
McBride has stated that he caries a gun.
At least two people connected with this case have died from suicide.
There have been several threats against her, interestingly enough from anonymous sources.
You may be right... But how much do you want to bet that the kid could still be punished under school rules about recording devices in the classroom.
Just because the action is legal, does not mean the school has to allow it. If there's no rule against recording in the classroom yet, I foresee a scramble on the part of school administrations across the country to put one in place to cover their collective a$$.

The cable company is waiving the "Fair Use" defense because they don't want to win a case that then strengthens the "Betamax" decision.

Thanks! One of my senators (Ben Cardin) is on the list and I thanked him in the email I sent.
Does this apply to C-SPAN too?
Dell does know about Free-Dos... They sell it as an option from the very same start page as their Linux systems!

I'm reminded of the chemical company, IG Farber. Their use of slave-labor during WWII was completely legal... By German law.

IMO you're right. But that's not the point.
It's too soon, and the wounds are too fresh.
Right now, my heart goes out to the families of those killed, and prayers that the injured all recover.
Let the political arguments, the gun control and video game fights, and even the Jon Katz stories just wait until later.

>>>What is wrong with paper ballots?!!!??!?
:(
In Maryland, the paper absentee and provisional ballots are printed by Diebold.
Diebold also supplies the optical scanning and tabulating systems.
In other words, It's not about making your vote count, it's about who's counting your vote.

That's always worked for "The Doctor"
That's no conflict... In TOS, when the Gorn captain was defeated, all of the Gorn were destroyed - including on their home planets.
