Perhaps, but we still sentenced people to prison for doing the exact same thing that we did.
Karl DÃnitz was sent to prison for sinking allied ships without warning, yet even at his trial, Admiral Chester Nimitz, wartime commander-in-chief of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, stated the U.S. Navy had waged unrestricted submarine warfare in the Pacific from the day the U.S. entered the war.
Sinking neutral ships without warning. Big difference. Plus there were all the other charges against him.
No, he got congratulated for finding the flaw. He got in trouble for running a vulnerablity scan afterwards to verify that the flaw was fixed. He ran the vulnerability scan without the system administrators knowledge or permission. I agree that he should have gotten in trouble, maybe not expelled, but in trouble because the vulnerability scan could have crashed or corrupted the system.
I wouldn't use that stuff! We call it Elephant Snot. After pulling through a conduit with that crap it dries into a cement like blockage in the conduit. Use Pledge on the cables and they pull right through, it doesn't dry and cement everything in the conduit, and it isn't totally disgusting to pull on the cables on the other end of the conduit.
They want to scan outbounds? Stupid, stupid, stupid. You are preventing people from encrypting. (Yes, I know we're talking about the unclassified network. Doesn't matter; an email to your sweetie saying what time you'll be home, is worthy of encryption.)
Considering we are talking about DoD users here, and DoD users include soldiers. Emailing your sweetie to tell what time you will be home is in violation of OPSEC, and should be blocked from going out of the mail server in the first place.
Couldn't your home wifi logs save you though. If your ISP is logging your internet connection activity for 2 years, and they find illegal activity, you could show on your logs that a MAC address that you don't own connected. I think it would be a get out of jail card. They couldn't prove that the illegal activity wasn't committed by the non-your MAC.....
And one of the places that I brought my laptop back from was Iraq. Have never had a problem, and never had to turn the laptop on. They swab it and check for chemicals on it, and x-ray it but that is all. Of course every time I was traveling for business, and had a tools of the trade letter for my laptop.
The funny thing is I brought my laptop home from Iraq, and the only thing they gave me a hard time about was the hookah I bought in Iraq....
Saying "I'll bet dollars to donuts." Is equivalent to saying you are really sure that you are right, or what ever you are betting the dollars to doughnuts on...
Cynthia McKinney? Really Cynthia McKinney? is this the same arogant Cynthia McKinney from Georgia who failed to show Congressional ID and was appaled that the Capital Hill Police questioned her, and tried to make it into a race case?!?!?!
Yes, and that is the point. Those questions are asked by people that are very proficient interrogators, and they are trained to determine if you are lying to them. If they think you are evading their questions, then there are more questions and tougher security.
I think that TSA would do better if they learned from Isreal. and maybe we would have better security here, instead of this make-believe security that tries to make you feel more secure when you are no more secure then 20 years ago...
I fly a lot every year as well, and they do not always ask for ID at check in. Most of the time I show my ID before they can ask, but sometimes when I don't they don't ask....
Actually, you don't have to be under any age. A few months after 9-11 I was traveling, which I do all the time for my job, and I left my wallet in the rental car. I went through security and boarded my plane. And this was back during the time right after 9-11 where you had to show an ID through security, and also to get on the plane. I had all my stuff searched both in security and to get on the plane, and back when you could take liquids through, I had to take a drink of my Mountain Dew both at security and at the plane. Long story short, you can get through and travel without an ID, but it is painful, and a little long....
Maybe no one wants to honour a notorious racist like William Shockley
Maybe you didn't read the article you linked to: "In 1981 he filed a libel suit against the Atlanta Constitution after a reporter called him a "Hitlerite" and compared his racial views to the Nazis. Shockley won the suit"
Maybe you didn't either, because the sentence just prior to the one you quoted is However, Shockley's views about the genetic superiority of whites over blacks brought the Repository for Germinal Choice notable negative publicity and discouraged other Nobel Prize winners from donating sperm.
Ok, I really don't know if this is possible, but how come you couldn't take all the possible keys in a 2048 key, and split them up amongst enough computers in a cluster (Do I hear Beowulf anyone?) so that the total time to try all possible keys is down to a day or less? I would think that with computer files, especially if you know the OS that the files are for should be fairly easy to tell if the key is right, since a wrong key won't yield a valid file system.
You appear to be under the assumption that flight can not be accomplished by strapping enough rockets onto an object.
Well I would say that the United States Air Force, and basically every Air Force in the world appear to be under this assumption as well. Look at any fighter jet in the world. They are in no way aerodynamic. They simply put enough force behind them. They prove that with enough force, even a brick can fly.
If the engines of a fighter jet are lost, the fighter jet has a glide ratio of 1:1, or in english, free fall.

Well actually, there is no requirement that the first line of the program start with line number 10. This is standard practice, however there were many times that I remember working on a program and realizing that I forgot something and would add a line 5 or maybe multiple lines under 10.

Yeah I got a tip, blackbox.com

Just a thought....
Actually I believe the GP is refering to Internal Combustion Engines. Considering the historical layout of modes of transportation....
Hmmm, sucks to be there....
I can go out and pay $20 to get into a club, and drink all night for free in St. Pete FL
I watched my mother die from Breast Cancer that spread to her brain over a period of 8 months. I believe her insurance covered it....
You sure?
And one of the places that I brought my laptop back from was Iraq. Have never had a problem, and never had to turn the laptop on.

Go figure....
Well think about this. If the black box voting machine is touch screen based, couldn't static possibly cause false touches?
Saying "I'll bet dollars to donuts." Is equivalent to saying you are really sure that you are right, or what ever you are betting the dollars to doughnuts on...
Well if that is case, then people shouldn't be allowed to take a wrench or socket to the car they bought off the car lot.
A butt-set isn't a magical piece of equipment. commonly available.... can buy one *almost* anywhere.....
Cynthia McKinney? Really Cynthia McKinney? is this the same arogant Cynthia McKinney from Georgia who failed to show Congressional ID and was appaled that the Capital Hill Police questioned her, and tried to make it into a race case?!?!?!
Or could try degaussing. could do quite a few at a time, and only takes a few seconds.

I'd certainly expect them to put the crew in a pretty small circle in the ocean if they wanted to, today.
That is what I am talking about, Free Tacos for every space mission!
