This. The proper resolution here is to get your firewall manufacturer to alter their alerting system to send digests or condensed reports once a certain threshold has been reached. "IP x.x.x.x has portscanned you Y times in the last 24 hours."

I find that, a lot of the time, when you find two things that are 'correlated,' it's time to start looking for the external factors that cause them both.
It's a stone cold fact that, in America, if you have a terrorist to the left of you, and a policeman to the right, you should head left. You have a far better likelihood of surviving the encounter.

Yup. Line item veto, president gets one six year term, states have slightly more control over transport on waterways, and surprise, slavery is now constitutionally mandated. I think there might be one more change I'm forgetting, but otherwise, that's it.
It's funny when people start going on about 'states rights' and 'heritage not hatred' and 'slavery had nothing to do with it,' despite being shown the CSA Constitution, and the Statements of Succession from six of the original succeeding states that clearly state 'because slavery.'
Also, Luke was supposed to be a farm kid, not larger than life. The whole point was the ordinary farm kid had this in him. Duh.
For me, the Original Trilogy clicked when I realized that Luke's 'serene detachment' throughout most of Jedi was, in fact, PTSD, possibly moving towards dissociative disorder and/or catatonia.
Meanwhile, violence and accidents did, what, exactly? Dropped? Stayed constant, only now people are being murdered with knives and bats instead of guns? Went up?
If the goal is to reduce 'gun violence,' then by all means, ban guns. If the goal is to reduce *violence* on the other hand, banning guns is, at best, utterly ineffective. People can be, and were for millennia, violent without having access to firearms.
The anti-gun side also seems to honestly believe that, if a crazy person decided to kill somebody, but couldn't get a gun, they'd change their minds about killing.
This both presupposes that firearms have magical mind-control powers, and/or that crazy people are able to make rational decisions. "Gee, I want to kill a bunch of people, but using a knife/baseball bat/chainsaw/jerry can of gas/fertilizer and diesel mixture/lead pipe/my car/whatever would just be too much effort."
Canada has federal firearms laws that are very similar to Califorina's; you require a Possession and Acquisition license, to, well, possess or acquire firearms. This license is granted only after you pass the Canadian Firearms Safety Course, if you want standard rifles, plus the Canadian Restricted Firearms Safety Course if you want handguns and/or 'scary' long arms, such as an AR-15. No full auto, no burst. Rifles have a five-round maximum magazine capacity, pistols have a ten-round max. Well, other than.22, which is unlimited. License renews every five years. 'Restricted,' aka handguns and scary rifles, can only be transported to and from the range, gunsmith, gun store, etc. Fairly strict storage and transport requirements; for example, a handgun being transported to a range must be unloaded, trigger, cable locked or otherwise rendered unable to be fired, stored in an opaque, locked case, either in the trunk or otherwise out of sight if no trunk.
Guess what? Something like 94 percent of handguns used in crimes are, dun dun dun, smuggled in from another country.
More to the point, though, in Canada, if you're violently killed, you're probably been knifed or beaten to death.
Have you ever needed to, say, fix a nail that's popped out a bit, but didn't happen to have a hammer? Maybe you banged it back into place with a screwdriver handle, or the measuring tape, or a wrench, or even a handy rock? Well guess what? Guns are the same thing. If some asshole wants to go kill some people, and he has no guns, he'll get a knife. Or a baseball bat. Or a jerry can full of gas.
Guns are out there. Concentrate on reducing *crime,* not reducing *guns.*
The problem is that the average *cop* doesn't have the appropriate level of ongoing training to allow them to carry a live firearm; going through a two day course sure as fuck doesn't give you the skills and training, and especially the stress inoculation, to be able to make decisions and operate effectively in a deadly force encounter.
Imagine if to be a firefighter, you had to take a two day training course. That's it. No ongoing training. No flame house training. Nothing beyond learning the rudiments of operating the hose, and getting a lecture.
Taking a two-day course to get your CCW permit is the same. If you shoot at a range, for example, you are NOT training for live fire; you are training for the eventual attack of stationary black dots. To become proficient in this kind of shooting requires things like regular shoot-house exercises, with simunition or similar.
In other words, I'm all for people getting proper training to be able to carry and use personal defense firearms. Virtually no civilian gets that proper training; they get a perfunctory lecture and that's that.
Everybody knows that the wifi protocol was defined in RFC-666. They'll tell you that RFC stands for 'request for comment,' but we know it stands for 'Refuse the Father and Christ.'
Use this handy chart to decode what YOUR kids are REALLY saying:
The other day, I was at the grocery store, when I noticed the in-store pharmacy had their free flu shots available, so I headed over.
In talking with the pharmacist, he was asking if I'd had any previous bad reactions to vaccines or anything. I pre-answered a few of his questions, and he said 'Oh, you already know you can't catch the flu from the flu shot.' I deadpanned (perfectly, I might add,) 'Oh no, the only thing you can catch from a vaccine is autism.'
The look in his face for a full ten seconds was priceless, but then I must of twitched or corpsed or something, and he broke out into a huge grin, and we had a great conversation about Wakefield, the idiocy of anti-vaxxers, the fact that it's probably going to take seeing kids at the playground in the polio leg braces, or masses of kids dying of measles or the like, to remind everybody about why modern medicine is a good thing.
The WHO did a study on EMS, I believe it involved a bunch of self-diagnosed people in the room, and a lighted sign saying 'Wi-Fi device active' hooked up to a switch. No actual Wi-Fi devices, of course, but as soon as that light went on, 'Oh, I have a headache all of the sudden, oh, I'm nauseas all of the sudden, oh, woe is me.'
Crom, I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought, or why we died. All that matters is that two stood against many. That's what's important! Valor pleases you, Crom... so grant me one request. Grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, then to HELL with you!
Right because somone who does not possess electronics knowledge can tell the difference between a PCB for a cheap electronic clock and one that is some kind of detonator.
The school officials, and the police, all asserted that they had exactly that ability, as none of them actually invoked a single procedure that they had in place for dealing with a suspected bomb.
Schools get evacuated on the basis of a single anonymous phone call which says there's a bomb in a locker. It happens on a regular basis. Yet when they had the device IN HAND, they very obviously made the determination that it was in no way, shape or form dangerous. They did not evacuate the school. They did not call in bomb disposal. The teacher kept it in a desk drawer for a fair length of time. The police transported the 'device' in the same vehicle that they used to perpshame Ahmed.
They didn't just believe it wasn't a bomb, they made a specific determination, at every level and at every point in the debacle, that it wasn't a bomb, and SPECIFICALLY CHOSE to not invoke the procedures that all start with 'If there is ANY possibility that there is a bomb, do this....'

More accurately, all educated, land-owning Anglo-Saxon males.
The US Constitution, as written, very clearly stated that people were not equal. Try googling 'three-fifths clause' for a good place to start.
On top of that, the Constitution actually left, at writing, a lot of stuff up to the individual states. Who could vote, for example.
Also, don't forget that you might just get shaken down just like any other third-world country.

Isn't it more along the lines of '4xx: it's a feature' and '5xx: it's a bug?'

A massive endowment, most likely.
Interestingly, line-item veto was one of the very few differences between the US Constitution and the Confederate Constitution.
Right now, in certain parts of the world, this is happening.
Arguably worse, certain sects of Christianity are killing other Christians.
The example that most westerners would be familiar with would be Protestant vs Catholic in Ireland.
American political pundits and politicians still actively call for religiously-based wars and killings.
Netflix would be best served by having multiple formats encoded and having players report capability, and sending the appropriate format.
For me, the Original Trilogy clicked when I realized that Luke's 'serene detachment' throughout most of Jedi was, in fact, PTSD, possibly moving towards dissociative disorder and/or catatonia.
He's calling for a tariff, more like. Which is, of course, also not a Libertarian ideal.
Fine by me, I'll be over here with my Aureal A3D2.
Has a religiously-motivated Muslim killed any Americans, on American soil, since 9/11?
A religiously-motivated Christian shot up a Planned Parenthood place, what, a week ago?
Meanwhile, violence and accidents did, what, exactly? Dropped? Stayed constant, only now people are being murdered with knives and bats instead of guns? Went up?
