I called my first subroutine with a family-owned thumper. It was a small one, 40 metres or so... But once I hooked it, it was smooth sailing all the way to the sietch!
If the USA built that many, it would cut power plant greenhouse gas emissions by 30%, or the equivalent of nearly a million windmills.
I'm sorry, these numbers are confusing and hard to understand. Can you please express them in a normal way, like relative amounts of iPods (a few, a bunch, a lot)?
I had a 9/80 for about 3 years when I worked for Lockheed-Martin. When I came on, we were a three man team, which eventually grew to four.
The week was split into alternating weeks, A and B. Group A had the Friday on Week A off and Group B had the Friday on Week B off. Since I was new, I was on the same schedule as the team lead so he could show me the ropes and the other guy could cover the facility on our down Fridays.
When we grew to a four person team, I was shifted to Week A and the new girl was put on Week B with the Team Lead. This way, every Friday was covered with two people and other weekdays had four total.
This eventually gave way to the Team Lead taking his position part-time and we lost a team member to medical reasons. I stayed on Week A, The Girl took Week B and Team Lead was working 20 hours on a MWF schedule.
Ridiculously complicated but we set up rules and made the schedules available to the customer so they knew who to call on which weekends. If you had the Friday off, then you weren't on call that weekend. The three years I worked that schedule, I was probably called in 3 times on my off weekends. The only deviance from this schedule was after Hurricane Katrina when FEMA/MEMA took over our facility as their headquarters for two months.
I do miss the 9/80 schedule, but my current schedule is so flexible that I could recreate it if necessary.
The ban on flash media was to stop the propagation of a Win32 worm that "spreads by creating an AUTORUN.INF file to the root of each drive with the malicious.dll file."
It was just one of many steps taken to triage infected systems and protect uninfected systems.
It's possible it was an attempt to breach the DoD networks, but it's just as likely and more plausible that it's just another botnet being created.
I work as an IT contractor for the USAF and what it boils down to is muddied interpretations and lack of discipline. They already have regulations stating what you can and cannot do with data coming in and out of the work place. No, you're not allowed to bring a floppy in from home. No, you're not allowed to take a government floppy home with you. The same regulations should, by default, extend to CD/DVD/USB/any and all media but since they're not specifically written that way, people could quote the AFI back and say it was allowed. This new ban is merely a clarification to close the loophole.
Did they swat a fly with a nuclear bomb? Sure. Has it worked? So far.
The spider ran off to Tau Ceti in order to invent the positronic ray. Unfortunately, a band will name itself "Missing Spider" once the movie is made about it.
You know what else fell out of fashion? Stoning. Man, I miss a good stoning.
All of society's ills could be fixed with a few proper stonings, including but not limited to:
Cursing Blasphemy Adultery (including rape victims who don't protest loudly enough) Disobeying your parents Touching Mt. Sinai Not being a virgin on your wedding night (Ladies only!)
I know a paraplegic with limited motor functions who can't even move his fingers and HE CAN TYPE. He might not win any word-per-minute competitions, but the man can type.
If the data were being looked over by someone with experience in dealing with sensitive materials, they could easily have his data back to him within a month. That also assumes the person is competent and self-driven.
What the summary leaves out is that they seized his equipment and then "reportedly replaced the seized equipment, at a cost of £1,000." So it's not like they grabbed it and ran. If he got proper return on what was taken, then it doesn't sting so much. MI6 still look like idiots though.
As a previous Lockheed Martin employee, I can verify that they have VPN for users deemed worthy of such access AND an enterprise-wide policy governing use of company resources for company interests.
..the only person tying a several terrorist groups together because they were all smooching off him.
While we may never know how many hot desert nights were spent in naughty terrorist on terrorist action, I do believe the word you're looking for is "mooching."

FDCC is what the USAF and all other Armed Services are currently moving toward. It's Vista Enterprise with a bunch of tweaks.

I dunno about you, but as a person with a gastrointestinal disease I could really use a "nuke from orbit" button on my toilet some days. :/

Ahem, that would be a Pu-236 Explosive Space Modulator.
Perhaps you bought the cheap Acme version?

Tanenbaum, is that you? If so, give it up! It's been 16 years and you're not fooling anybody!

It can move a lot of data but is it shark-mountable?

This is the kind of drama you need popcorn for!

Great, now we have to worry about melting ice caps AND being overrun by poison ivy. Will this life get any better?
