Only if whistleblowers are MUCH better protected than they are now AND they have a broad enough view to know what is going on.
In most organizations, recycling a desktop isn't unusual since the mail and important documents are on servers. I doubt whoever actually wiped it had no idea whose it was before or had any reason to wonder.
Everywhere a community has tried to build community internet service, the big telcos have fought it tooth and nail in court. You can't blame the local government for that one. That might actually be a good place for the Feds to do some real good and explicitly permit any community to build a co-operative provider (with or without the local government).
All that does is put a bunch of people between a rock and a hard place. Go after the person who gave the order.
Besides that, it is likely that the person who recycled the HD didn't know and perhaps didn't have the authority to know that there was anything on it but a virus laden copy of Windows. The IRS is big enough that the PC guy and the mail admin might not know each other.
Shit already rolls downhill, it doesn't need the force of law added to it.
Even with those, it wouldn't be A bomb, it would be many. The father of all bombs is a couple orders of magnitude less powerful than fat man or little boy.
Not really. Until the second bomb was dropped, they were telling themselves it was a one-off and the U.S. couldn't do it again. The second convinced them the U.S. could repeat a necessary.
But with conventional weapons, it wouldn't be A bomb. It would be many many bombs. Some of which wouldn't detonate until disturbed later by people moving back into the area.
A locally hosted farm offers better options to recover. For example, once you realize you are hacked, you can take it off the network while checking it out and re-securing it. That would also disconnect it from the backup system so the backups are safe. When it's in the cloud, you can't really do that.
The locally hosted backup you spoke of is a decent next best solution, but may depend on the rate that data changes. Bandwidth into and out of the cloud generally costs while data over a lan cable doesn't.
That is exactly the problem. A smoke detector's primary job is to make a loud noise when there is smoke or CO. I see no reason it should talk to the cloud for that, ever.
Even where client/server makes sense, I want a server under my exclusive control. Personally, I won't touch any of the stuff unless/until it has a published API. Part of that is because device makers tend to make crappy interfaces and part is because sooner or later it will be necessary to integrate components from multiple vendors in ways they never imagined.
If the Dem's bill passes, they will be required to classify ISPs as telcos so that they will be able to enforce net neutrality since that is within their power. Of course, they will bend over backwards to re-interpret the law until it doesn't mean that.
The 500W rating is the result of a steady decline in power supply quality. Way back in the before time, a 100 W power supply would supply 100 W of stable DC power even with crappy AC input. In reality, you could draw a lot more than 100W through it if power quality and service life weren't important to you.
Now, a 100W power supply supplying 100 W will be full of ripple and glitches, cause a crash with even a momentary dip in input and die in a couple years. If you need to draw 100W peak, you'll need a 500W supply to get anything like ripple free DC and to ride out even the briefest dip.
I would think a gateway device would be more secure. You contact it and it talks to fridge and pantry. That way you get the upside without the many horrors that await if you let the 'quality' firmware produced for typical consumer appliances talk to the world.
A battery's charge rate is measured in C. C is enough current to charge the battery in 1 hour. So a 10 A-hour battery will charge at 10A for a 1C charge rate. Same technology 20 A-hour battery can charge at 20A for a 1 C charge rate (so it still takes an hour but you gained twice the energy).
Putting a kid in a home environment that encourages success will make a difference.
And, short of making all children wards of the state at birth so they can be distributed to homes with a good environment for learning, it will be a matter of chance what sort of home environment you're born into.
Of course, if the state handled that the way it handles orphans, we would be doomed in generation.
No, he's right. MIMO can make several effective communications channels out of the same slice of spectrum by using the multople antennae as a phase array.

It makes a lot of sense to expose it by default for provisioning. However, they need to have a big bold warning that the defaults MUST be changed.
Even where you can't use a separate VLAN, you can at least put the IPMI on a different subnet.

Apparently it wasn't selective, it's just that nobody is shouting about the non Tea Party groups that the IRS questioned.

Al Jazera has nothing to do with jihadists. In fact, they offer a welcome fresh perspective.
Well other than "Of course git is much nicer and has replicated history as well", anyone can afford git.

And we know the key would never be used because the blackmailer pinkie swore.
Also, the Tooth Fairy insisted. We don't know why.

The adding up makes no sense and actually UNDERrates the problem. 224E6 * 35 = ~7GW.
Because these days, most off the shelf power supplies are such crap that you need a 500W supply to provide ripple free power when the load is 50-100W.
The 500W rating is the result of a steady decline in power supply quality. Way back in the before time, a 100 W power supply would supply 100 W of stable DC power even with crappy AC input.

They seem to be very busy taking away the bread and circuses these days. No good can come of it.
So, when you're going down a crowded highway you're fine with it if the GPS app in the truck next to you goes to a commercial break featuring boobies?
