I have operated a purpose built incinerator designed to burn documents. We collected the material in burn bags, operators were encouraged to crumple up the paper. Each night, the bags were fed into the incinerator, which used diesel fuel to start the burn. A couple of time per hours, the ashes were mixed, and more bags introduced. It took time, but I can assure you, that all of the docs were destroyed each night.
Eventually, environmental issues shut down the incinerators, and we moved to shredding. It was a real pain, each of the operators would collect and shred their own stuff. You had to break the habit of crumpling up the waste paper. When we shut down the station, we ran the burner again, because we had to destroy so much, that it would have taken too long to shred.
Indeed that is what became of classified material I have dealt with. Shredded using a military cross-cut shedder (output pieces smaller than 1x10mm), mixed thoroughly, and then incinerated using a purpose built belt-fed, gas fired machine.
Actually, a quick check of online regs states that the maximum size must be 1mm x 5mm. When you use an approved shredder, the pieces are very small, producing thousands of bits per page. The magnitude of this challenge is huge.
In some cases the challenge will be to determine just which side is up. If the document was double sided, then the order of difficulty will increase greatly.
It has. If it detects you have hardware that needs drivers it has the ability to go out and get them for you. It even installed an NDIS wrapper for my wireless card. All I had to do was connect it via ethernet. Worked like a charm.
Let us not forget that, in the Linux community, distro popularity is not unchanging. As new distros come out, those that cater to the widest sector will dominate. For a while, Ubuntu was attractive to a large number of Linux users. They seem to have gone off the tracks, and are paying for it. This is the evolution of the OS. I don't think it is necessarily bad either. I doubt Ubuntu will disappear soon, it is just that the choices they make will determine how popular they are.
The second time I installed Mint on a netbook I ran into these issues. The solution turned out to be fairly easy, I hooked up through an ethernet, and the installer identified all of the hardware and offered to install the required drivers. I agree it was a bit of a hassle, but in actual fact it was far easier than having to deal with an onerous Windows install, where I had to identify the hardware, find the drivers and then install them myself.
I think you have missed the point here. A lot of Linux Users know as much about Linux as a lot of Windows Users know MS Windows. I think this is an indicator of how far Linux has come.
I cut my teeth on Slackware somewhere around 3.0, didn't care for redhat and fell into SuSE. Then a couple of years ago I found Mint. It installed faster, and more easily than any of the other distro's. It handled my hardware well, even on laptops. I have watched as it slowly grew in popularity. I miss KDE sometimes, but Gnome has certainly stepped up to the plate
I do not feel the need to get into the weeds any more. I want to install, and start working as fast as possible. I don't really like the idea of Unity, I think it is too much too soon. Perhaps in a while, I like the way Mint has tried to follow its Users lead. I will still try various distributions and see what they bring to the table, but for now I'm happy with Mint.
They are stealing the time and effort it will take me to fix things so that I buy that house, car or whatever........These semantics are kind of stupid.
A steel hull, and an aluminum superstructure poses a real challenge in the prevention of corrosion. Shipbuilders use a bimetal thing to join the aluminum to the steel, but even so magnetic and electrical charges in the hull tend to cause problems.
Canada for example, their gov lowered it down to 3 pass I think last time I looked.... like 10 years ago I think.
This is only part of the policy. Discs which are Unclass, Protected A or B or Confidential can be dealt with this way. Disks that are more highly classified (Protected C, Secret or Top Secret) must be shredded/disintegrated afterwards,
This may be the current document detailing the current policy.
As a point of fact. This is what we do where I work. Although the shredder is a large industrial metal shredder. We used to throw the whole drive in, but the bits of magnets would stick to the teeth and be a problem to clean up. So, now we disassemble the drive and shred the discs only.
Ummm, sorry. A faraday cage is indeed an passive action in the realm of EW. As soon as you send out an active signal, whether or not you are trying to null out another signal it is still an active measure. Just the act of you transmitting in order to interfere with my use of the spectrum by definition is active. It is a good argument though. I congratulate you for thinking outside of the box.
This is an excellent question. One that deserves an answer. The simple answer is that aircraft do not just depend on GPS for navigation. Various electronic sensors may all have their own embedded gps or feed, and use the signal to synchronize the various components. Depriving the platform of GPS may actually result in a mission kill. In a time of war, much effort will go into the resolution of the jamming signal, however, at this time, it is not politically acceptable, so it is not addresses the same way and the aircraft returns to base.
I'll give you this one flonker, I'm willing to say that all consumer grade laptops have their share of problems. Earlier I said that HP was the winner for quality, and I am willing to step back from that. If you are willing to pay absolute top price for yesterday's specs, put up with weird driver requirements then Panasonic Toughbooks should be the undisputed Kings.
I have seen them used in a Military Aviation Environment both on Aircraft and on the Ground (in the mud). One word: Awesome!
That's the problem, Gateway (HP in disguise). I've never met a Gateway box that I didn't hate and that's after many many MANY years working in repair shops.
Nope, Gateway is owned by Acer.
I have had many laptops/netbooks over the years, and HP seems to be the winner for quality. We use HP products in our shop, and their business warranties are second to none.
Agreed. As a user I prefer 22:19 8 May 2011. It really reduces the ambiguity.
In Military Messages we used a DTG (Date Time Group) which would be in this case: 082219 May 2011 which seemingly breaks all the rules.
Now, I think that the slurs, and name calling that the police did was unprofessional. The tactical entry however, was justified because they didn't know how he would react. That is all. Also, they didn't know he had no direct connection with the producers of the child porn. For all they knew, he had several kids tied up waiting for the next production to go ahead.
I know that is thin. Really thin. But hey, how many times does a cop get shot doing something that was supposed to be routine? Too many times.
While I understand your point, I think you have expanded the definition of what we are talking about. We are not talking about just porn. We are talking about child-porn. We jail child-porn collectors to reduce the market for it. Society condemns the exploitation of some of our most vulnerable people - children. If we were to legalise the possession of it, then how could we attack the producers?
The next argument is when does it stop? Once we have defeated child-porn, then what is next? I think this goes in cycles. Right now we have a seemingly porn-centric society, where our daughters are encouraged to bare themselves indiscriminately (Girls Gone Wild, etc.) I would like to think that eventually, things will swing back to the centre.
In modern times we have reviled the child-abuser. I do not believe that this will change in the near future.

You're sure right about North Korea not giving a damn.

Sorry, I don't get your logic. Care to explain?

If you look at ROE (Rules of Engagement) you will find that many countries will not allow jamming except in Wartime.

I don't know about MI6 but the FBI has jurisdiction everywhere.
As much as any foreign police service would have in another country: "The FBI’s jurisdiction in crimes or attacks against Americans abroad dates back to the mid-1980s, when Congress passed laws authorizing us to investigate hostage-taking and kidnappings of Americans and terrorist acts against U.S. nationals or interests overseas. Of course, we don’t go uninvited into another country—we get permission from the host government and always work with that nation’s law enforcement and security personnel, in concert with the U.S. Embassy and the Ambassador."
The difference here is, MI6/CIA and other Foreign Intelligence Services can go in without permission, however if they are caught........

Date format is stupid all around the world. Everyone should just use 2011-05-08 15:00. Yes, drop the stupid am/pm stuff too.
Try: 1500 08-05-2011
Let me start by agreeing with you

Ask the kids who have been raped to produce the stuff.
Tks.
