Animals that are killed by the radiation leave a empty chair at the dinner table for those who are still alive. You'd have to find and count all the dead animals, too, to get an idea of how "safe" it is out there.
That they're able to breed faster than the radiation can kill them is... I don't know if that's better or worse, actually. I don't know that I'd use the word "encouraging." I'm thinking something like "gruesome."
You know, if that SSL certificate traces back to a valid human, then you can arrest him/her for phishing and they've provided all your evidence for you.
It's like leaving your digitally signed confession at the scene of the crime. No CSI team needed. Only the crooks know the corresponding private key.
If you can't trace that certificate it back to a valid human, than the CA needs to be beaten with a large stick.
When a theory like dark matter has amassed evidence in its favor over a period of decades, it takes a lot to overturn it.
Don't forget, though, that as long as ANY nook or cranny remains uncovered by the theory of Dark Matter, there is room for a replacement. Dark Matter has been predictive, but there is still a problem with it, none has been detected, and as we search for it and fail, we make the remaining possible types of it more and more exotic.
The whole situation reminds me of the search for ether. As they searched, they found that the ether, what ever it was, must have certain properties. They really thought they were making progress, too, until some of those properties began to conflict with each other. The situation seemed impossible, because it was. There is no ether.
Someone is going to get a Nobel prize for saying: "There is no Dark Matter" and proving it.
The management would like to remind the herd that safety is our highest priority. Remember, the safest place for an individual herd member to stand is near the center of the herd. Each member will be expected to remain as close to the center herd as possible at all times. Management is not responsible for any loss of life or limb which may occur to individuals who fail to remain in at the center of the herd. Management is not responsible for any random shifts in the location of the center of the herd.
There a lot of other good replies already posted, but I'd like to underline the potential cost in human lives.
You could create a system that would allow hardware like this to become reused. And if it ever broke down, information improperly classified, a drive left in a system and sent to DRMO, it could cost a human life.
They treat the money callously because it's just money. The alternative is to treat human lives callously.
The government is doing the right thing in this case.
If it were my money, directly, I'd take similiar precautions because I'd want to sleep at night knowing that NOTHING got out of that building.
Ever.
Those aren't credit card numbers they're holding in there.
Thanks, I've recovered a memory I thought I had repressed.
We had a boss that was just as you described. We, the peons, created a "Two Person Integrity" rule, because if any of us were with this guy when he destroyed something, he'd blame us, and there'd be no witnesses to back our side of the story.
If our boss' boss was less understanding, we'd have had people fired. It was a scary situation.
He once said: "I can unplug this token ring and plug it back in again before the systems notice." Then did so, and all hell broke loose. Then he said promptly "My, look at the time, I have to pick my kids up from school." And walked out. I'm not kidding.
Back then, desktops were so simple that the distance between simple HTML and your desktop didn't look that far.
That hasn't changed in the last 10 years, it's not going to change in the next 10, either.
Why?
Your network is always slower than your local system. No matter what you think you can push to a system, you'll always be slower than what you could do locally.
Games shouldn't have "right vs. wrong" or "good vs. evil". They should provide an environment where the bad guys and good guys could work out thier differences peacfully, while teaching the player of the game conflict resolution skills.
Don't buy a tape drive. I have one, on a shelf. I gave it up.
I bought a raid controller and 4 sata drives. 400 gigs of parity. It's not perfect, a comet could hit my house, but it's pretty good. And it's live, all the time.
Put the RAID in a NAS system on your net and copy things to it. Buy a battery backup and there ya go. Good enough for government work!
At first I thought: Postscript! Well, obviously. To find a collision, you've probably got to hide a clump of randomness in the document, and then rotate that clump until the hashes collide. If you tried to hide random data in a text file, it would be obvious to the person signing it. You need some format to hide the random bits from the viwer.
I bet the random parts are REALLY BIG! I mean, you'd probably need a lot of random data before you could find a collision...
Then I downloaded the files...
There's almost nothing to them! I can't read PS, so I'm not sure how many of that handful of bytes at the beginning might be tweakable... but it's a lot less than I expected.
Collisions must be very easy to find! I am now offically very worried about this.
You're seriously wrong about the relative value of $400 for the rich vs. the poor.
Rich Person A has $4 million in the bank, what's $400? It's 1/10,000 of what they have.
Person B has $5,000 in the bank, for the sake of argument. That's 5,000/10,000 = $0.50.
$400 to Person A is the same as $0.50 to Person B.
Would you even bother reviewing the differences between video cards if they cost $0.50?
So, the long story is, there will always be a high-end PC gaming market, because there are Person A types running around out there who think dropping $10,000 on a craps table in Vegas counts as entertainment.
"If you are doing Thing A, you cannot also be doing Thing B. There just aren't enough resources, or something."
It's as if an entire continent of people have been brainwashed into being 2nd Place, for ever!
Listen! You can have BOTH! They aren't mutually exclusive!
Now, Johnny's new cool object oriented command line only perl calander converter may not be making front page news, but it's THERE, and... innovative, if you're into that kind of thing.

Identity theft PLUS phishing? That would work. Hey, if you're already stealing money, what's another crime, eh?
I think, though, that it would only slow the cops down for a little while. Some day, that money has to get back to the real crook. Follow the money.
That is, if you could get them to care in the first place!

It can't be slashdot. They clearly don't read the articles here. So where are they? Is it better? Is it cool?

born by a moo-cow I believe,
wore pants, suspenders and a tie,
only washed his face on the 9th of July!

Steve took a nap in a frying pan
and woke up next to sausages!
