No doubt. My brother shut down Andrews while working on an EA6B when he dropped a bolt into the wing....somewhere. That was a year before he told a pilot to check the drop release when the safety pin wasn't in place... which dropped the entire fuel tank and its contents throughout the hangar.
Maybe it's just because of it being a newly 'scrutinized' aircraft, that made this news.
Yeah... I can pretty much confirm that. Though there are quite a few 'odd-balls' that are strange individuals, who have been doing it for years and don't think it'll hurt them (we've got a few of those where I work)... they all still have to comply to regulations. I think that's the government's CYA as far as things go with lawsuits.
Someone has to do it, though.. unfortunately.
I work for a department which cleans up after these guys clean up. We put remote monitors in and create reserves out of older nuclear sites. Even with the low level of contact that quite a few of us have, they still have pretty heavy rules when in contact. After it's all said and done, we collect all of the health (and contact level) records to save and be made available for FOIA after redaction.
Again.. there are nuts out there who think they're superman and just go on with it... but for the most part, they have a very high bar for safety.
I agree with you... but you have to admit that it does benefit them when most searches through them, and their algorithm would possibly drop hits on other marketing firms. It's good that they're doing it, and I'm for it... but it does make sense from their standpoint. If they can do this, why can't they stop fake sites who datamine and post fake results on pages with no real content?
It must be a pretty impressive algorithm if it's going to sort out good from bad sites... and it'd be interesting to see if it counts its own ads on pages if they're bundled in a bunch of others.
I think they need to work on data mining sites which duplicate searches and put them on their sites to pull in clicks when no significant subject matter is really contained within the site itself. That would be better than ad sites.. and this pretty much wreaks of sneakiness.
You're absolutely right. They did nothing to react to the rest of the smartphone devices when they were pulling in money. It seemed as if years went by and their devices were exactly the same, as well as the same interface and services... all while the rest of the world was changing on a daily basis. That money should have been tossed in R&D while they had it, and now it's too late.
With the interaction you can get from other solutions (exchange/web/etc) and better phones, they're way too late on switching out leaders. I don't believe they have enough revenue coming in to catch up. I'm guessing when stock drops more, a company such as Microsoft will gobble them up, considering MS is looking for a business platform for Windows Phone and has enough money to turn it around.
"Already years ahead of everything else"? I'm guessing that's why they're adding features that catch up to Android and even some from WP7.
But, hey.. if you're a fan, it doesn't mean you need to know about other devices around you, as long as it's shiny and made by Apple, it will suffice.. and if it doesn't, they'll make sure that you think it does.
This is true. I think they're leaving quite a bit of info out of the post, though. I'm not certain where the information was obtained and how personnel didn't exactly know about it, but there are standards across the board for DoD, DoE and other Government agencies that their networks have to adhere to.
For specific sites such as Creech, they are under their own 'honor system' of cyber rules, but all traffic from each site is part of a government leased backbone (or fraction thereof) which is somewhat of a DoDNet connection. Like the DoE, it 'should' be keeping track with netflow analyzers and heavy packet logging/sniffing with a series of IPS/IDS devices at each site. Even the DoE does this with smaller sites (and by small, I mean 10-20 employees).
That said, they may have it monitoring as a SPAN, but probably only have notification and visibility from 50,000 feet in DC, where they really can't do anything about it because the DoD HQ only has access to their OWN ASAs, and not their internal network. Basically, they know where it's at, but can't get to it.
It's convoluted, but the communication part is where the issue comes in to play. I seriously can't see how this happens in such a horrible scale, considering all Federal requirements for network infrastructure. It's unacceptable.
As long as both linux and Microsoft exist, there will never be a complete yin/yang understanding. Even if Microsoft made their own flavor of linux, they would still be under fire.
Less than a half a million is chump change to them, considering how much they rip people off every day. The one time they screw up and actually give money away in someone else's favor, they send them to jail.
Is Google part of the gestapo, considering they probably do more data mining than any other establishment on the planet? What makes it legal for Google to scrape data from public sites, but not a federal establishment? Not only that, but Google is doing it to make money and exploit personal interests... and the others have a bit more potential to use it for something semi-useful.
I believe in civil rights and privacy as much as the next person, but if they're going after people.. it should be all or none. All politics out of the way, it's either right or wrong.
Shouldn't any "company" wanting to purchase said nuclear products be investigated? Even to buy a fucking gun, you have to go through a registration process. I understand that it doesn't prevent any terrorist from purchasing a gun if he has a clean record, but a thorough investigation should be held with the most (potentially) lethal products on the planet.
Yeah, Reston is known for being a bit more "high-tech" than other places (as well as Ashburn and parts of Herndon). It's not lucky to have good service out there, just a good location.
I moved from Reston to Sterling not too long ago and Adelphia was switching to comcast. Unfortunately they didn't honor the 16mb download across the road. HOpefully they will soon. From what I've heard, Reston is about to get even faster, also.
I agree that they would probably be a bit baffled, but still a tiny bit familiar with certain features. Only when they go to install a new program that they probably bought at a store (considering they weren't bright enough to pay attention to the OS), they'd be irritated. Back to Best Buy, I suppose.
I think that Dell doesn't want to lose customers that way. (I'm sure that MS has something to do with it as well.)
They were going to make their money one way or another. People were better off to just order a cheap Windows box and load their free version of Ubuntu when they got home. I think that most linux fans expected this to bring more users to the linux community for a stronger foothold, but Dell didn't want to deal with users inadvertently choosing an OS that was cheaper, when they didn't know the difference in the 2 systems.
You've got to agree that most linux users don't even buy proprietary systems, and 60% of Dell customers (minus business) wouldn't pay attention to the OS. Therefore it would cost them customers when people were unhappy with the system they got when they opened up the box.

They're shooting with Shotguns, I'm sure. And unless it's a straight shot within 100 yards and no cover... they're not going to harm anything.

Not necessarily. Considering sites with their ads will be removed from the equation, you'll probably have sites using their ad system more often.

They're probably losing money because of paying millions to lobbyists during the election period.

Exactly. If it can be heard, it can be copied.

I know it's a good build and system, plus more are moving to it. But, does anyone have any statistics to show how much it's growing?

This should have been done with fucking cell phones a long time ago.
Word up.
