Over soon my ass. This will morph into a greater regional conflict and further degrade relations with Russia and China to drive us further towards CW II (Cold War II).
Some times bad things happen. Do we punish every country for which a misdeed is perceived? And which misdeeds are punishable and which are not? Only the ones that protect our strategic interest against proxy-war enemies 'ala the cold war?
It does need to be more than that. The US has not been attacked. Therefore we do not go to war. The US is not under threat of attack by Syria. Therefore we do not go to war.
The Nuremberg Laws targeting Jews in Germany were enacted in 1935. Germany invaded Poland in 1939. We did not enter WWII until two years later in 1941, and in that case our fucking military base at pearl harbor was attacked. Get a grip bro.
Both Moses and George Washington used spies, and Benjamin Franklin opened other people's mail for intelligence purposes. Do you think it is too much to ask that the US and its allies be allowed to use them in our age to prevent a surprise nuclear attack, and maybe the occasional 9/11 or bombing? Or is that just right out? Is the only "ethical" thing to do simply carting away large numbers of bodies after an attack and rebuild the airplane / stadium / city, assuming there aren't new overlords at that point who prevent it? What about the rights of the victims? Isn't the right to life the most basic right of all? What would you do for them, to prevent their being killed? Or does that not matter? Would you even approve of Thomas Jefferson's actions to prevent Americans from being taken into slavery, or as hostages?
Your strawman needs new clothes, he's becoming very recognizable. Not drinking enough of the koolaid? Or is that you COINTELPRO?
How long until these become mandatory for all websites. Here's how I could see this going down:
- First, all major government websites require usage of this.
- As more and more brick-and-mortal government offices close, more and more people start using the id.
- VISA, MasterCard, et al begin requiring these for all online banking.
- Taxable web transactions somehow get tied by law to having to use these.
- Soon, ISPs require you to log in with it periodically, (remember AOL internet 'sessions'?)
- All utilities, bills and such paid online start requiring it.
- Social networks require it for 'think of the children' safety.
...Tinfoil futures are a sure bet....we're losing the internet right in front of our faces.
So is this your way of saying you wouldn't be interested in a mini-cloud in every university department and medium-sized business, or perhaps a personal cloud you could run at home? What about a mobile cloud to put in your pocket? Admittedly, they'll be rather bulky and brick-like at first, but some day they might be as compact and lightweight as, say, a deck of cards or a pocket notebook.
A mobile cloud to put in your pocket? If you're being satirical...kudos. If you're sincere...just...this. The cloud is not a mystical place bits go to evolve...it is just a loose metaphor for the aggregate of the large collection of SANs, multi-hop networks, and various application layers sourced to pull a metic fuck-ton of bits from many locations scattered about in IRL back to your wetware's optical inputs when requested...
And to reply to myself in bad form, it is rarely the network that is the limiting factor in the corporate environment. How many users out there are continually saturating their 1G links patched in to some top of rack from their cube? Not many, that's how much. Compute resources, maybe. Large dev shops with build farms, ok that I understand if your trying to get a bunch of builds kicked off before everybody else, but build servers' compute power is limited usually by production server budget, not core switch bandwidth.
Most of this SDN business is about more software centric provisioning rather than using tried-and-true networking protocols blasting bits from ASICS. The new 'SDN/open' junk (read: centralized controllers and management) may lead to better network resource allocation, I have yet to see how L2-L4 gains will translate to better user experience...more like sales types telling management "you only need 4 core switches instead of a seperate layer of aggs and another set of cores, instead the 4 core's will be SDN ENABLED!, just sign the license agreement right here along with the line-item CAL cost agreements..."
The real gain, then, might be that more gets accomplished as IT becomes less of a bottleneck.
Yes. Keep downsizing IT. Don't worry. The Cloud will configure all of your central infrastructure...
SDN can suck it. As a guy that lives in the trenches, between lags, mstp, vlan routing, vrrp/hsrp, trill, and now big routing protocols showing up in the datacenter (think ospf/bgp) and a motley crew of various other l2 and up protocols, we have enough decentralized means for corralling bits to their regularly scheduled programs. SDN is just big content's wet dream, or network odm's looking to get in on the 'app' craze.
I propose a device for random selection, consisting of a circular round object minted by our very own Federal Government that generates binary decisions with 50% probability, I can deliver these devices to the TSA at 100 units a shipment for a small price of $340,000 per shipment. I can have them delivered to every airport in the country within 2 weeks and we can implement this program by the Fall. They require no maintenance other than a 10 year service contract that adjust their randomness factor every year.
You always have your rights... it's just a question of if and how you exercise them.
The difference here is the guy who went to talk to the police on his own (ie voluntarily) vs being arrested (ie unwillingly).
The court ruled that in the prior, you have to make an affirmative statement as to you exercising your 5a rights.
Still bullshit to me. The fact that not explicitly stating that one is exercising one's rights implicitly means forgoing them? Does this mean that if I don't affirm my right to free speech or a fair trial that I cannot speak freely or will not get a fair trial? From the article:
Prosecutors argued such silence does not have constitutional protection because of the other questions Salinas had answered and since he was not under arrest and was not compelled to speak.
A plurality of the Supreme Court affirmed for Texas Monday, noting that Salinas never expressly invoked the privilege when the officer asked about the shells. It has long been settled that the privilege 'generally is not self-executing' and that a witness who desires its protection 'must claim it...
So rights are a privilege now to be dictated by loose wording and interpretation...fuck. that. shit....oh wait...should be old news in light of all the other bullshittery USDOJ spews.
so if the police dont read you your rights, you lose them?
No. The article explains that the person in question had NOT been arrested, had been freely answering other questions, but refused to answer one that concerned shotgun shells found at the murder scene.
The ACLU has a "bust card" that helps clarify the matter. The person in the article should have kept his fucking mouth shut, period.
Still befuddles me. So you're telling me if you provide any information whatsoever, you're legally obliged to answer every single question, even if it leads to self incrimination? IANAL so does answering some questions automagically count as forgoing your right to silence blanche carte?
LibertyBASIC and then moved to game programming with Bloodshed Dev C++. The good old days for me. Now it is mostly business glue in.NET with C# in cubicleville.
Wow. You seriously think that if a merc outfit was sent in to do a job for who knows what reason that they would wear logo gear to the gig?
I though all bad guys wore a uniform for swift identification of their badness, that's what 20 years of shooters have taught me!

the only var that I know of is in Unix, a directory called /var and /var/run
never heard of SAN & NAS. can someone plz explain accronyms? i tried a google search, but no luck
The latter explained here.
I've worked in IT my entire adult life and I have fucking acronyms.
You should probably get that checked out.
Torrent search my friend.
I don't know if it's localized, but Lego Mindstorm should do the trick. Rather expensive solution though.
Why is this modded funny?
Play by play......really slashdot? Give us a good post-op synopsis, don't fuel the speculation fire.

What about web sites that pick up on the user agent string?
