I don't know what kind of soldiers, radios, or encryption YOU are talking about but in the Army I am in, comsec keys are often theatre-wide. At least division-wide. Stealing a filled radio (or ANCD, SKL) does indeed compromise EVERY unit's comms. Which is why the keys are changed often, and losing a filled device is a sad-face event for the poor sucker that does.
Your point though, about being able to send it to dissimilar branches with dissimilar equipment types is true.

In Soviet China, The censors interpret internets as damage and wall around it. -- me
I'm curious just exactly WHAT you think this dude and his friends would do to you, your family, and your nerdy friends if he got the chance. The guy was an outspoken leader of an insurgent group who called by words AND actions to see the destruction of all non-islamic culture. You probably think things would all be fine if we just ignored them? These guys would REALLY let you live in peace? Clinton pretty much turned the cheek for 8 years and it didn't help at all (Yemen, Kenya, Nairobi, Cole, WTC1....), god bless him for trying.
This dude was involved in the planning and conduct of Al Qaeda operation on US soil. You are talking about war, and for some reason you want to take it to court. Let the lawyers fight the wars? You're fucking retarded.
This dude was on the kill list for over a year. Did you worry about his guilt back then? No. This dude would have told you he was your enemy if he was alive right now to tell you.
So shut the fuck up and go back to your life. One less AQ guy to worry about. The DOD, CIA, et al. will keep mowing the grass to keep you as safe-ish as they can.
Just because something classified is leaked doesn't mean it automatically loses its classification.
The requirements for declassification are pretty strict, and few people (relatively) can authorize it. If leaking was all that was necessary, everyone would do it just to avoid the hassle of the classified computer systems.
The government knows you can't get the genie back into the bottle, the cat into the bag, or the National Geographic back into its paper sleeve. They aren't stupid.
At the very least, you are looking at losing your security clearance for looking at stuff beyond your scope of work or security clearance level. This could cost him his job.
As far as criminal prosecution goes, that would be stupid.
I know you guys like to think all info should be open and free but the REAL world doesn't work like that. Countries have secrets.
Nope, but I bet the EO office, women's outreach office, minority affairs department, adult education advisers, special education caterers, native american sensitivity overseers, and all the thousand other strap-hanger organizations are fully staffed.
Somewhere along the way, colleges became ground zero for liberal waste at the expense of actual productivity.... you know, your basic liberal ideology in a nutshell. what would liberals do if everyone was a strap-hanger and there were no producers to take from? Why, they form a union of soviet socialists, that's what.
Th entire point i was making is that kids need to understand *how* to teach themselves any syntax, based on basic programming principles.
You don't know *what* language you'll have to deal with. VBA was just my example of one of those things that comes up now and then and you might have to deal with it. I obviously wouldn't use VBA to teach into to computer science.
What other language would you use to manipulate excel sheets? Sounds like Javascript is coming to Office down the road.
As far as crutches go, very few office monkeys I have ever met are even aware that a programming API exists in excel. It's usually done with MASSIVE blocks of conditional formulas in the cells. And most of those are copypasta.
kills more users per capita than the illegal stuff.
You probably don't like it when people mix and twist sets of statistics, cherry-pick and paraphrase the conclusions so they agree with their viewpoint, eh? Seems like most/.ers dislike that.
What you've just done here is a prime example of statistics abuse. http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/su6001a12.htm What percent of people properly using prescription drugs were killed by them? Seems to me you are glossing over the fact that the legal vs illegal death rate change was due to overdoses of legal meds. The CDCs definition counts improperly-acquired oxycodone, causing overdose fatalities as a "legal drug" death.
Kids downing hydrocodone and diazepam at raves.... they don't get that from their doctors. But is sure is tempting to include their statistics in with the "legal drugs are more dangerous than crack and meth!!!1!" numbers.
"...reforms had a small adverse effect on domestic-oriented industries and skewed the ownership structure of patented inventions towards large corporations, away from independent inventors and small businesses."
Now you get FTF. And why Obama and Hatch agree on it.
I tell people all the time, a little bit of programming experience goes a long way.
It isn't just about being a programmer by trade. You come across problems now and then in Excel that can't be solved any other way besides some VBA. Maybe you don't know VBA, but if you understand logical program flow, objects, etc... some Google will get you the rest of the syntax. My Biologist wife and I had to sit down and get her going with R. A few times in the Army I've had to process a shit-ton of text data and a perl script came in handy. A little programming knowledge has helped me out many times in normal life. I'm no programmer.
We all probably have tons of examples where just programming literacy and understanding of systematic thinking and logical flow have come in super handy. Just learning how to abstract a problem, break it into parts, and turn it into an algorithm.... forget the code, that is educational. Kids *should* be exposed to this. It will give them skills that will serve them well later.
Leave it to a moral relativist to place the blame of murdering drug dealers on people who don't think you should do drugs.
Would you be so cavalier about a War on Human Trafficking? Or would you suggest surrendering if that war started getting messy too?
If all your decisions in life are decided by which choice is "less trouble", then you truly stand for nothing worth standing for.
The blame here starts with Americas brain-dead drug-using oxygen thieves. The blame continues with the enablers, liberal pop-culture shitsticks who rationalize/condone/glorify Americas drug consumption. The blame ends with the chain of suppliers, who obviously have NO problem shooting you to death while you jetski on a lake in your own country; they have no problem cutting your wife's limbs off in front of you.
Naturally here in liberal "it's okay to be dependent on the government, but they can't tell me what to do" slashdot land, you'd get +5.

meta-incomparable?
Man this kind of argument pisses me off.
"5 isn't even remotely comparable to 1000".
Sure it is. It is 1/200'ths as much. Plenty comparable.
5 mm flex is not even remotely comparable to world peace, chuck norris, or boreal toads. a flexible floor IS comparable to walking in sand.
