I recall colorado and washington reporting that they didn't get near as much as they thought from the taxing of marijuana.
I've heard this topic discussed on radio. The conclusion was that Colorado had to set the "expectation" very high in the bill, otherwise if they exceeded that number they would have "overtaxed" and had to surrender the money. It is future-proofing it.

If I wanted to spend all my money on Amazon... maybe I have car payments, or want to go out, or take a vacation, or buy a dog, or any of the other multitude of reasons not to want my money linked to Amazon. No way! That is totally bogus. What if you got paid DIRECTLY in amazon gift cards?
If you live in maryland, you should know the comptroller site contains both iFile (for individual) and bFile (for business). https://interactive.marylandta...
I put GPL at top of anything I submitted. Storing a program in a database (or source code) is creating a derivative. Either open source your software or don't check my program. Not that I ever cheated (in compsci), but there are only so many ways to write "a program that sings '100 bottles of beer on the wall'".
This is US Law. An anonymous person belongs to no country... Does not seem like anything except a means for big companies to sue security companies "Hey you found a bug that my incapable overseas staff copy-and-pasted in! You owe me 400 bars of gold-pressed latnium for damages!"
ntpdate on a cron is a nice alternative to running the full ntp server, if you just want accurate time.. I've had to set this up on a network wherein each server running ntp server created too much drift between them (all servers needed to be within 100 ms of eachother). Easiest solution is all servers run ntpdate every minute against a single host within the network. Drifting averaged about 20ms with that simple solution.
"The Internet of Things" is so dumb. It was never called "The Internet of Computers" when computers were hooked up, and technically all these "things" have computers in them. And a network exists in the ether between devices; communication. I'm just so tired of this buzz phrase, I cringe every time I hear it. It's like "Information Superhighway", except less relate-able .
What is up with this article? What about closed-sourced apps like ISS or windows, with tons and tons of vulnerabilities found (and some fixed) every week? Because there have been a very small handful in some high-profile open-source projects means open source doesn't work?
That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. If anything, because those bugs were found and fixed shows that open source DOES work. If they were closed products, those bugs may likely still exist and No Such Agency may likely still be exploiting them. Not to mention all the back-doors they force into closed-source software, which is harder to do with open source in the first place.
The point is, for something to be secure you have to be able to audit it. In the open source world, you can do this. In the closed source world, you have 0 ability to confirm that something is secure, you are just taking a salesperson's word for it. THAT is lack of security awareness.
Holy shit, put on your big boy underwear and take your inhaler. Some hackers disrupted a couple of gaming services. This was not even remotely close to that level of offense. Did you happen to notice that the sun still went up that morning and went down that evening, or were you just to furious to look at the window? So you were prevented from sending more money to your favorite console maker for around 24 hours; did it occur to you to maybe spend that time with real live people or do actually DO something with your life (even if only for one day)?
If you wonder why "gamers" get such a bad rap in the real world, look in the mirror and think about how worked up you just got over this.
Funny, I heard the same thing from the kid in the Lizard Squad interview.
Most of the "bugs" I would assume come from countless "proprietary" ways of doing things introduced over the years to break compatibility with any other browser. And from every version since 5.5 being a stack on top of the previous version....
And with IE, it's hard to tell a "bug" from a "feature". Many pages get written to rely on these bugs, and then when and if Microsoft decides to ever "fix it", they end up "breaking it". It is a tough game.
Just ditch Trident. Why do we need more browser engines? What is wrong with WebKit? Why waste man hours and money on this waste of time project instead of helping with the development of WebKit?
Whilst being a web developer for a bajillion years I have dealt with the plethora of issues caused by Internet Explorer's standards divergence.

Every star trek movie since the reboot has been so sad, as a long time Trek fan (every episode, every movie, countless times). There is no surprise, there is no twist, there is nothing to keep you thinking about afterwards. I still think of plots from various episodes and movies, like Generations. To be able to have long discussions with people, was Picard right in how he ended The Nexus? In my opinion, he basically made all the lives killed by Soran except the last system to be lost in vain.. when really he could have used the Nexus to cause peace across the universe, basically holding power similar to Q..
What is thought provoking, or otherwise entertaining about the last star trek movie? Cheap effects, cheap "Hero Rush" elements all over (well I shouldn't say cheap, it cost a bajillion dollars to make, when the original Star Trek episodes were done for a budget less than a Corporate banquet these days..)
I just wish they would go back to the original... Why use the "Star Trek" name if you aren't going to use the Star Trek universe or anything along the themes it carried for decades? Why not just make a sequel to a terminator movie, or "Die Hardest in Space" if you're going for just mindless explosions.
I want in on this! I have pain and suffering every day. I feel "snowed in" knowing now that my government doesn't follow the law, and spies blindly on everybody. How do I cash in on this with Horace? Slashdot! Help!
47 C.F.R. 15.5 contains a general provision that devices may not cause interference and must accept interference from other sources. It also prohibits the operation of devices once the operator is notified by the FCC that the device is causing interference.
But if 100g or less is legal, why is 101g illegal? What is the purpose of such a law?
That's not unusual at all. It draws a clear line between what is allowed and what is not. Would you prefer vague guidelines like "for private consumption" vs. "for sale", or "small amounts"? Having strict and easily to check guidelines also avoids wasting time on law enforcements and court costs. 100 grams, and the police lets you go. 101 grams, the hold you and take you to court. Whether you're guilty or innocent, it is _clear_ which one, and that is a good thing
Obviously you shouldn't try to go to the extreme limit of what's allowed. If your scales say you have 100 grams, but your scales are off and you really have 101, that's no excuse. Just stay below 90 and you're fine.
I think parent was questioning why any limit at all, as in what makes possessing 101g turn you into an evil anti-american, versus an upstanding 99g toter.
Adding users to a group is done by a root user with full permission....
In other news:
Administrative user that installs back door leads to back door being installed!
Administrative user that changes password on system and puts that password in the MOTD effectivly gives full permissions to everyone who can read that MOTD
And the whole calling it "Grinch" thing... like some stuck up jackass "I'll show you Linux, you're not secure! I'll ruin Christmas!" He's the true Grinch.

They got it added to NIST. So it's essentially a REQUIREMENT for many Federal agencies (and whoever else wants to follow suit) to implement this!!!!!
That's not true anymore. NIST removed that recommendation. They now only recommend aes128 192 or 256.

And it's "hare" brained.
I thought he was referring to the Boss character from Dilbert comics.
You mean like calling them "basement dwelling tissue mountain builders"?
Right! He didn't even use the hyphen in "basement-dwelling!" Unless he meant to use a phrase consisting only of five nouns and no verb..

Yes it should be age restricted
Right, because the government should determine a fixed line representing when you are mature enough to make your own decisions!

"Execution" and "Self-Defense" are different.
