    I'll just point out that, even with that social environment, some of us still don't learn the necessary cues. Some of us end up learning the cues the really hard way in adult life. Some of us end up having never learned the cues at all.

  17. Re:at last, a climate change scenario with facts on Black Soot May Be Aiding Melting In the Himalayas · · Score: 1

    We have to stop the silly bickering about 'Global Warming/Climate Change'.

    I think that most people are willing to
    1) accept that our current consumption and development patterns are largely rooted in the availability of cheap oil and/or coal, and
    2) agree that burning these fuels (indiscriminately) is both wasteful and polluting.

    I'm going out on a limb here but also I think that few people truly understand the benefits/significance of carbon-trading.

    IMHO, we need to first focus on making small changes that reduce our utter dependence upon fossil fuels. And then tackle the larger issues.

    In the meantime, I fear that, collectively, we've got our heads in the sand and, in the absence of a 'global' solution, will risk doing nothing at all.

  23. Re:In college... on Nmap Network Scanning · · Score: 1

    I (a Canadian working for a defunct Cdn software company) was at a US military installation several years ago.

    One of the guys from our dev team wanted to show me some new functionality that had been integrated into one of our tools (NMAP). We thought it best that we scan our own domain rather than one of the military domains... it never occurred to us that that just made the situation worse.

    A US military site scanning a Cdn web site was bad, two Canadian civilians running the scan from a classified US computer was even worse. But what really got the feathers flying was the fact that it was the NSA who alerted the service of the illicit scan (rather than the service's own red team).

    Needless to say, the functionality was quickly removed from the software. Ooops! (And it had nothing to do with the software company becoming defunct)
