You would think that when people are told 4 times a year during an hour training to lock down their screens, clear stuff off when I need to work on their machines they would start to.
And 90% of the data where I am is HIPAA, in the year I've been here I've been tightening the security screws down, but for the bulk of IT people out there, there is no confidentiality professionalism.
I'm the only one here with admin level rights, the two agency executies have access as well but they don't know how to access the data and those passwords are just there for documentation if I get hurt, fired or killed.
1. Users are so sloppy with data you don't have to "snoop" to come across confidential data, it's right there. 2. If you deal with anyone in administrative positions, they are the ones who are generally clueless about technology and require the most hands on support and they'll leave "giant_fiancial_secret.xls" open on their computer when you get called in to explain why they can't get on the network today (the cable was unplugged, again). 3. IT professional really is an oxymoron, what percentage of IT works have taken a course on professional ethics? We aren't lawyers, doctors or MBAs the only professional ethics are in regards to keeping a job.
Then you haven't done anything past helpdesk. From about a month after I started doing desktop support back in the 90s I'd come across confidential information, I signed confidentiality forms and as far as I'm concerned it's a done deal. Now that I'm in a job where I'm the desktop, network and database administrator I see and have to deal with confidential data every day.
I just don't care, it's all data to be backed up, moved, restored, whatever.
"Under Federal rules administered by TTB, it depends on how you use the still. You may not produce alcohol with these stills unless you qualify as a distilled spirits plant."
Not true, that is an urban legend that was repeated until it was recently discovered that at the time of Norse settlement there were forests and agriculture in Greenland.
"Greenland was also called Gruntland ("Ground-land") and Engronelant (or Engroneland) on early maps. Whether green is an erroneous transcription of grunt ("ground"), which refers to shallow bays, or vice versa, is not known. The southern portion of Greenland (not covered by glaciers) is relatively green in the summer."
"The settlements, such as Brattahlíð, thrived for centuries but disappeared some time in the 15th century, perhaps at the onset of the Little Ice Age. Interpretation of ice core and clam shell data suggests that between 800 and 1300 AD the regions around the fjords of southern Greenland experienced a relatively mild climate several degrees Celsius higher than usual in the North Atlantic,with trees and herbaceous plants growing and livestock being farmed. Barley was grown as a crop up to the 70th degree."
The EU as a concept was formed by Napoleon and a frame work started with the Concert of Europe, it was only after WW2 that the political will existed to actually start trying to bring state together.
The United States has been a de facto two/three language state for much of it's existence.
At it's founding there were large minorities of German and Dutch, then from 1870-1920 a large German language minority, then from 1970 to now a large Spanish language minority.
People saw this side of America in the 1960s and 70s, when the movements actually had goals, coherent demands and focus, even when the goals were way outside the American mainstream.
The current Occupy movement is just like the Tea Baggers, a group of entitled middle-class whining about how bad things are and really doing nothing to fix the problems.
Tiananmen Square protests really didn't do anything for civil rights in the People's Republic of China, while the US Civil Rights movement did change things, the Occupy movement doesn't really have a tangible goal that is achievable in the short term.
Well, the bulk of "Wall Street" firms aren't even down by Wall Street anymore, so this planned disruption wouldn't have disrupted anyone. 90% of the trading is carried out on computers from offices, just like how the FTSE works.
Lockheed, Boeing, Northrop , Martin and Grumman have been putting out "dog fighter based aircraft" since before WWII.
MiG's first aircraft was in 1940. Boeing's first all metal fighter was in 1932 Lockheed's first transport was in 1928 and first fighter flew in 1939 Northrop's first aircraft was in 1932 and first fighter in 1942 Grumman's first military aircraft was in 1932 Martin's first military aircraft was in 1918.
While Lockheed and Martin merged, as did Northrop and Grumman, their history of military aircraft predate MiG.
While the US focused on missile platforms in the late 50s through mid 60s, so did the Soviets, MiG put out model after model that couldn't perform air combat maneuvering worth a damn, everything after MiG-17 until MiG-29 were designed to fly straight in a line with dog fighting as a distant second role.
In the largest single fight of US and Soviet made fighters (roughly 150 vs 150), Lebanon in 1982, F-16, F-15s, F-4s and A-4s were responsable for between 82 and 85 MiG and Sukhoi kills with no Israeli air to air loses and one A-4 lost to a SAM.
If you read the story or even the summery, it's not "space junk" its coming down very quickly.
"Varying reports in the Russian media suggest the probe could fall to Earth and burn up in the atmosphere in the next few days – reports vary between 26 November and 3 December."

Name a single country destabilized by alcohol production.
Now do the same with Cocaine.
In the US distillation of liquor is harder to get a license for than an automatic weapon.

Frack me for posting from work and in a hurry, yea feminine.
Western navies refer to vessels as famine, Russia always has refereed to them as masculine.
So in this case, Phobos Grunt would be a "he".

That is their goal now? I thought their goals were "looser and more localized".
