As great as any new technology is, I hope this is antiquated by law changes before the technical application machines become practical.
You mean you think it should be legal for people to drive while stoned?
I do... THC is not like Alcohol. It builds up in your blood and is there semi-permanently. (Levels go down after 6 weeks of not smoking) It would be impossible for anyone that ever partook in pot to ever pass the test. (which they are well aware of by the way)
This entire idea that BAC or any other measure has anything to do with the persons ability to drive is ridiculous. This article even makes the same mistake with this statement:
But no similar portable tool exists to test for marijuana impairment...
That simply is not true. It's called "The field sobriety test" The cop can perform it, record it on video and a Jury can later review it to see if they agree with his assessment. Rather than show some arbitrary number of how many doo-dads are in your watchamajiggers, it shows what actually matters... are your motor functions impaired.
If Person A can pass a field sobriety test with a BAC of.2 but can pass the Field sobriety test, but person B is completely sober and CANT pass it.. I'd rather have the drunk guy driving!
I am aware that resources theft has been a problem in poor areas, where recyclables like copper are routinely stolen, but still, wouldn't it have been cheaper, in the long-term, to trench DEEP, build monitored deep equipment vaults with sensors back to the security office of the telescope for access monitoring, and do fiber backbone to the neighborhoods, handing off to either some radio frequency that's not a problem or using copper or fiber for the last mile? Once the infrastructure is in, assuming it's done right, it should be fairly low-maintenance and difficult to steal, and if the only copper is either the last-mile or within the residence like a FIOS or google-fiber solution then there's much less actually worth stealing.
Actual single-mode fiber cable isn't very expensive when new and really isn't worth much when used, so attempting to scrap it out wouldn't be worthwhile.
The array covers over 3000km. I doubt trenching fiber to every resident in that area would be cheap at all.
The stupid part is it's not even an effective crossguard. There's a metal section close to the hilt so you can easily cut the crossguard off. Congrats on making a (most likely) primary antagonist look like an idiot. Unless they intented Luke Skywalker to show a juvenille Sith how moronic his added bling is in an actual fight...
This is why I'd a Trek guy and not a Wars guy. You cannot apply any sense of rational thought or reasoning to anything in starwars... because starwars has MAGIC. Once that's in a fictional universe, anything goes. He's got a "magic" crossguard. There, you're argument is moot.
Right, because Marine engineers working for an energy company have never built something that could fail during adverse conditions right? http://i.imgur.com/rUNFYnD.jpg
Maritime accidents will happen. It's not a matter of if you can prevent them, you can't. Marine environments are some of the most extreme environments on earth. This will fail... It's a question of what will happen once it does. Given their design, it wont be good.
You like to use the word "Pundit" in a derogatory manner quite frequently. I think that you've completely misunderstood the entire point of the site you're frequenting. If you don't like punditry, you shouldn't be here. It would be similar to if you left negative commends on Pornhub like "She should put more clothes on!"
It's 25 meters beneath the north sea... in the midst of a spiderweb of steel... That joint is most likely to fail during a storm. When it does fail, you'd now have a floating buoy dangling a giant steel beam beneath it, riding storm waves... and crashing into the rest of the network.
Storm conditions will prevent you from doing anything about it until the damage is done.
Fuck naming shit to appeal to the plebes and media. It's not a popularity contest. It's a fucking security vulnerability that needs to be patched. You don't get points for media mentions.
If you want to think up shitty names for shit you have two options: 1: Go work for some Congressman's lawyer's office and think up names for bills that mean the complete opposite or what the bill actually does. 2: Go work for the restaurant industry and come up fresh and creative hits that can stand alongside "Awesome Blossom", "Crispy Honey-Chipotle Chicken Crispers", "Razz-Ma-Tazz Raspberry Iced Tea", and "Yummy Nummy Chicken Drummies".
Ah... you're yet another person that would like to believe we should treat people how they should act, rather than treat them how they really act in the hopes they'll change as a result. Good luck with that.
To prevent mono-cultures and monopolies in social networks like we're seeing now. Facebook has nearly every detail of everyone in this countries lives. With subtle tweaks to their software the could easily turn elections in their favor. The federal government doesn't generally like a single company to have that kind of power.
No platform will work until you make it easy to migrate. Just like nothing could replace Lotus 123 until it could open it's file types. Write an open source social network that can post to facebook, and see facebook posts so that the users don't have to give up their friends in order to switch and you'll have something.
Unfortunately the only way I see this happening is via federal regulation, and I cringe at the thought of what other nonsense the feds would stick into such a law.
This article is terrible. First it says it's going to tell you how to spot hacks, then it goes on to give the names of those hacks and what they do... as if that's going to help you spot anything. At best this is going to result it more false hacking allegations. Which are a far worse problem than the actual hacking.
I'll be playing an FPS, have 5x the score of anyone else on the map, and there'll be this heated argument over some other guy hacking. If he's hacking... why does his score suck so bad? Why hasn't he killed me once? Oh, that's right... because he's not hacking, he's just knows the game better than you.
He tried to grab the kid from his car window to slow him down. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. I suspect he was a little more succesful than he had intended. Then Brown started punching him in the face, he fired his gun and Brown took off. He had a clear ID on him at that point. All the kid had done so far was steal a box of cigars and resist arrest.
Any other citizen at this point would be required by law to leave. Just leave and none of the rest of this would have happened. Brown was running away. But Wilson was mad... he'd gotten punched in the face and discharged his weapon. Can't tell the station chief you shot at a guy and lost him! Police are like Samurai, once that weapon is drawn, it must taste blood.
The only reason Wilson had to use deadly force was because Brown was larger than him. If had waited for backup, several officers could have easilly wrestled the kid to the ground and cuffed him.
But, they don't generally do all of this unless they have a reason to.
Which is different from a program that captures and saves all of the messaging data.
Reading comprehension bro, do you even?
What about capture don't you understand? Capturing every bit of data that leaves your computer is a 2 to 4 word command. Later you take the log file, grep it for interesting bits and you have everything you want. Including encrypted traffic. So next time, shut your mouth and do some research before decide to get all snotty and post Anon.
I find it ironic that you think posting anon gives you any sense of anonymity on slashdot. lol
What they want is more flexible workers. Guest workers are very flexible. Given that they are already immigrants, whats the difference to them if they work in New-york the first half of the year and Seattle the second?
I went through this is the late 90s/ early 2000s. I'd get a job as some company was building some new product, have solid work for a year... then there'd be the long, inevitable breakup as they found a way to lay us off another year later. So I'd go onto another project... same thing. Then my current company did the guest worker thing... I hear a lot of nonsense about them, mostly indian... not being qualified. I'd have to disagree. I'd say there are good and bad just like US workers, but there are certainly stars that stand out. Some of our best coders are from india, and I actually found out during our last pot luck that not all Indian food has curry in it and I even liked some of it. I got hired on permanently because they know I'm not just going to move away. The distinction of who goes at the end of the project and who doesn't is clear. The temps. Before, I could have been working somewhere for 5yrs, then bring in 20 new us workers for a project and when that's over 20 go home. It may be the new people, but it might be me!
The many and varied services that do projects for you are Terrible I've been through so many nightmare projects that were outsourced like that... uggg. They charge way too much and deliver the lowest quality work they possibly can.
I'm not sure what the answer to this dilemma is, but it's not simple at all.
Your network security team can already see everything you do on your computer. They can literally, watch a live view of your desktop. They can log into your email. They can capture all of your network traffic at the firewall and view it via wireshark. And since it's THEIR computer and network, they can take the SSL keys you used and decode your HTTPS traffic as well. Nothing you do on a work computer is private at all.
But, they don't generally do all of this unless they have a reason to. If you missed your numbers this month or just failed at some major project, you might want to stay off youtube for a while.;-)
"They're going to 'allow' us? hahahaha!" said your network security guy while reading this story live from your browser via remote desktop while simultaneously capturing all of your http requests via packet capture at the firewall.
The protesters say "He should have been indicted!" The cops say "What he did was legal!"
They're both right. In this country, a cop chasing and shooting an unarmed person who is suspected of a felony is legally allowed to shoot them dead in cold blood if they feel the suspect is a danger to the public. What Wilson did wasn't illegal, it was just immoral.
The problem is: That should not be legal. Wilson could have waited for backup but he didn't and went charging in like a cowboy. He got into a fist fight and ended it with a gun. Any civilian that did the same would go strait to prison. There is no excuse for us to allow police to behave more recklessly than any other citizen.
The only people I know that still use LinkedIn are desperate and unemployable.
When I got an iPhone for the first time this year, I was able to merge together my email address from Yahoo Mail and phone numbers on my cellphone. By importing matching profiles from the LinkedIn app into my contacts, I was able to better identify recruiters. My LinkedIn connections went from ~250 to 600+ in a month. I got a new job a month after being out of work for seven months.
You apprently missed this part of my statement: "The only people I know that still use LinkedIn are desperate" I'd certainly be desperate if I'd been out of work for 7 months! lol
The study, which used a novel method of tracking people through data from the social media site LinkedIn...
isn't this more a study on global use of the site LinkedIn, than on the migration of workers?
The only people I know that still use LinkedIn are desperate and unemployable. Their service got to be such an annoyance where I work that I personally entered their domain into our blacklist. It's the only domain that's specifically blacklisted. Pornhub and Xtube aren't even blacklisted (though I think they'd trip the TMG servers pretty quickly)
I really don't understand why people run sensitive and critical stuff on Microsoft Windows. (I'm not trying to be a troll.) It's the world's biggest target for malware, it's a monoculture, and it has a security model that tends toward convenience over security, and was actually bolted on after-the-fact.
Unix (Linux) is about as far from a monoculture as you can get while still remaining reasonably compatible between distributions, and it was built with security in mind.
It runs on the system the target had. How many world leaders are running linux? If it were a significant portion you can rest assured we'd start seeing these for linux as well. The fact of the matter is, if your opponent is the NSA, your OS is rather irrelevant.

"an unarmed person who is suspected of a felony "
He could not have been suspected of a felony at the time since the police had no knowledge of the incident at the store at the time of the shooting.
Punching a police officer in the face repeatedly is a felony. I'm pretty sure Wilson was well aware of that felony.
