These people are part of the same defense establishment that thought it was a good idea to make CD writers available on "secured" networks where people like Manning could access them. The people working for defense contractors have fairly well secured and locked down systems because there are serious financial penalties for unintentional disclosures. Within the DoD institutions themselves, however, it's an anything goes wild-west in the name of expediency. In that sphere, it's all a good 'ol boys club where no general will ever take the hit for security deficiencies under his chain of command.
Why would you even consider, except as a last resort, the notion that you are dealing with a bunch of noobs?
Because all the middle management MBAs don't have flying clue how computers work and feel the need to compensate for their perceived inferiority in the face of the technical employees who deliver real value. Demonizing them is the easiest way to accomplish that.
That example isn't a parallel construction. It's basic detective work. If an informant performs their duty to report a crime it is within the purview of a LEA to further investigate. If a LEA uses illegal methods to collect information they can't hide that fact by parallel construction.
It's better than (pre-ACA) open-market plans, I suspect.
When I left my last job the COBRA coverage was $600 monthly for everything and $75 for dental only. Not going to happen. The scam is that you don't (or didn't before ACA) have an option to purchase a cheaper option.
Google will masquerade Googlebot as an ordinary browser to spot check cloaking but it isn't thorough enough to catch everything. With AJAX rendered content it is even harder for them to tell what is and isn't shown to normal users.
Dyson didn't even invent the bagless vacuum. He just perfected the art of mass producing a 100-year old invention and convincing consumers to fork over $600 for the privilege of owning some bright colored plastic.
Except in ethically dubious fields (automated securities trading, anyone?) nobody seems to feel the need to offer large compensation incentives for technical work, but it's out there for management.
From the HFT EE jobs I've seen floating around, the pay doesn't significantly offset the higher cost of living in NYC or Chicago. Their lack of ethics extends to paying their slaves peanuts too.
"It is important that a large emphasis be placed on safety and testing, and we cannot launch any type of vehicle until we test it extensively using NASA's best tools for testing," Cochran said after a 2011 hearing on the agency's budget.
How did the Saturn V ever get off the ground without such a rigorous test infrastructure as this?
The in-browser popups are rendered using DHTML floating regions. Since there are legitimate uses for the technology it isn't easy for browsers to identify the offending cases. The only guaranteed way to block them is with noscript.
TCL has a nice simplicity to it in that is has essentially no grammar. Compared to Lisp, Forth, or Postscript it is a nice small language. It's not my go to for everyday scripting but I still appreciate its flexibility. You can redefine everything. You want infix assignment expressions? A simple handler for unknown commands will do that for you. Want a new control structure? Make a command for it and roll.
That's fine. Imagine having to wait months for your mailed-in Sears Roebuck order to arrive in Chicago and then get shipped back by train. You don't need instant gratification to get by in life.
That hasn't been true for about 20 years now. Overwrite your data once and it's gone.
Actually it still is true. While it is nigh impossible to recover overwritten sectors in modern GMR drives, they all have remapping facilities to deal with failing sectors. You cannot overwrite marginal sectors that were previously remapped by the drive firmware. Those sectors could still be read back by three-letter organizations with the budget to buy the necessary equipment and insider knowledge. Physical destruction is the only guarantee that nothing can be recovered.
There are generally two types of road grades used for interstates: "rural" interstates with a wide median and narrower urban/mountain interstates with barriers in place of a median. These designations are nominal and sometimes the urban style is used in rural areas to save money or for retrofit lane expansions.
Germany has far less miles of highway than the US so it's easier to build and maintain them to a higher spec. Adding barriers for the entire system would be cost prohibitive to install and they make snow plowing and grass cutting more difficult. FWIW some stretches of rural interstate in Missouri have wire rope barriers on one side. They inconveniently prevent pulling off to the left in the event of an emergency.
We'll have driverless trucks first. At first required to only operate at night in clear weather but eventually the machines will develop a dependable track record of safety.
What I find even more funny is that so may self-righteous Protestants will disparage the Mormon church on the basis of it's peculiar origins and unorthodox scripture but fail to recognize that in 2000 years time the book of Mormon will be as "proven" a text as the gospels are within their clade today.
You won't have to hack anything. A clipped antenna feeding the compromised module or a Faraday cage around an encapsulated RF receiver will do the trick.
You don't need drive-by-wire to make this work. You just need a backdoored ECU that can shut off fuel delivery on demand which most cars in use outside the third world have.

It would be easier to just sub it out to China. It'll save them the bother of breaking into the servers.
No it's a Schrodinger's Le-matya joke.
It also seems odd that a business with largely white collar employees was providing them with less coverage than the ACA minimum.

Lando Everyman: I thought we would be allowed to enjoy the freedoms spelled out in our constitution.
Darth Plutocrat: I'm altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further.

I have a 15-year old Hoover that runs as good as the day I bought it. Heavy as hell but I'm not paying 3x for weight savings.

No they just insert a floppy disk and the computer autoruns their exploit for them.
How is it supposed to determine that the people who spend half their day socializing aren't doing any productive work?

Be careful Mr. Harrington. Gitmo isn't closed yet. You wouldn't want some guys in a van to stop by and take you on a "trip" would you?
