The stingray like devices I have seen before don't have more than a 1k ft range, so using it for that purpose doesn't work very well. Cell towers can reach 50 km, but they use an enormous amount of power to get those ranges. A stingray is a portable device running off battery.
Cell phone signals do not work well for narrowing down a cell phones location very well. The signal tends to be reflected around by obstacles in the path, so you get reflections and such. The cell tower can also serve an area as large as 50 km radius, which makes locating a person less than ideal.
However, if you can get the position from the GPS over the data network, you can find where the person is within a few feet.
I understand, I also am quite worried and have heard very little. It is unfortunate, but they are supposedly trying to figure out who was exposed still.
Funny, it seems that the DNC is much more racist than the RNC. I saw many people who voted for Obama BECAUSE he was black, not for any of his positions on anything. This is racist, you guys got exactly the person you voted for, after all he backstabbed the people while still a Senator during the election when he voted for the FISA amendments bill. He claimed he would never vote for it while it contained telecom immunity, then as soon as it came up, he voted for it, and changed his web site to reflect that he never was against it.
But yeah, keep calling the Republicans racist as the current second place candidate for RNC president is a black man.
Conservatives believe that their guy is great in every way and that if you criticise[SIC] him in any way, then you must hate his guts.
Sounds exactly like how the Democrats are about their savior Obama, It used to be any criticism of him was met with accusations of racism. Now that it is obvious how corrupt he is, those accusations have stopped, but it is the nasty Republicans that do this evil, right?
Because of course, when people stonewall investigations, they will have trouble finding the truth.
IRS - Louis Lerner pled the fifth, all her records for the time period were lost in a hard drive crash (why was her email on the local machine!?) Benghazi - Hillary was running her own email server, when asked for the data, she delivered data missing months at a time, the FBI is working on retrieving the data she illegally had wiped. Fast and Furious - Where is the investigation? Why was the DoJ running guns into Mexico that they lost?
Don't know about the rest of those, but it is pretty clear that stonewalling is what is preventing these investigations, not that there is nothing wrong.
Claiming to have hacked into someone's personal AOL account and showing documents however is much more plausible. (This is what is claimed, not that the CIA or HSA was hacked).
The information is quite extensive. That is why the OPM breach is so very bad. I am amazed more people haven't been owned from this breach, but I haven't heard of the information being used at all.
BTW, EQIP is the online site used to fill it out, the form is the SF86.
Yeah, that really sounds like the medical care I want for the nation.
In one example, 71-year-old U.S. Navy veteran Thomas Breen was rushed to the Phoenix VA on September 28, 2013 with "blood in his urine and a history of cancer." His family said that he was sent home with instructions that he was to be seen within "one week" by a primary care doctor or urologist, and a note on his patient chart said the situation was urgent. After being sent home, his family said that they were told that there was a seven-month waiting list and that there were other critical patients. Thomas Breen died on November 30, 2013. His death certificate shows that he died from bladder cancer. His family said that the VA called on December 6, 2013 to make an appointment, after Breen had died
A scheduler at an Austin, Texas, VHA care clinic said that the practice of "zeroing out" delays in appointments "wasn't a secret at all" at the clinic, and he was instructed by a supervisor in how the process worked. The Austin scheduler said that said "zeroing out" was a practice of falsifying information in the VA’s records system that Washington officials used to monitor patient wait times.
VA Deputy Undersecretary for Health Administrative Operations William Schoenhard wrote a memo on March 15, 2013 indicating that the VA was changing its performance measure for appointment wait times. The new goal involved measuring the number of days between a veteran's desired appointment date and the actual date of the appointment. A VA Office of the Medical Inspector report from December 2013 showed a dramatic change in March 2013 of the number of appointments booked within the 14-day window for the Ft. Collins, Colorado outpatient clinic. When investigators asked VA employees to explain "what occurred in March 2013" the employees said that "they were instructed by Business office staff to access the appointment schedule, review it for capacity, inform the Veteran of schedule availability, and then enter the Desired Date as the patient appointment date" and "By entering the Desired Date as the appointment date, the wait time appears to be zero days." The Ft. Collins clinic is overseen by the Cheyenne, Wyoming, Veterans Affairs office. A coordinator at the Cheyenne office sent an email on June 19, 2013 with instructions on how to manipulate the appointment dates. The coordinator wrote, "Yes, it is gaming the system a bit, but you have to know the rules of the game you are playing.”
A VA inspector's September 2013 report noted that due to mismanagement, thousands of patients at the VA Medical center in Columbia had their appointments for colon cancer screenings delayed. This resulted in over 50 patients having a delayed diagnosis for colon cancer and some later died from the disease.[48] Additionally, a 2008 report indicated that documents that were critical in the processing of veterans' disability claims had been shredded. Although this had occurred at at least 40 locations nationwide, the Columbia location had the most cases.(1/5 of the overall cases) Also, between 2009 and 2013, the backlog of disability claims in Columbia more than doubled from 33% to 71%.
We are voluntarily submitting all our tests to FDA even though we don’t need to – opening up to regulators like no lab before. We received our first FDA clearance this summer.
it has not been, and still isn’t, required to seek FDA approval because of the way its business model works, which differs from those of incumbent diagnostic labs, like Quest Diagnostics DGX 0.67% and Laboratory Corporation of America
Holmes has voluntarily submitted voluminous data and validation studies to the FDA on more than 120 of her tests so far—without any legal obligation to do so—in an effort to persuade that body to grant formal clearance to her methods. She has done so, she says, because she regards the FDA’s imprimatur as the “gold standard” for safety and effectiveness.
In an interview, Holmes says that, because the FDA has today approved the basics of her system in the context of HSV-1 test, she is hopeful that clearances of her other tests will now be occurring at a faster pace.
So you are now saying that HSV is a simple test to get approved, but you don't believe any other tests will be? It takes time to get FDA approval, but funny, this company doesn't need any approvals, they are doing them voluntarily, which no other lab is required to do, hospitals don't have to get their tests approved by the FDA, so why is Theranos any different?
I have done a couple of traces on hacked systems, so I have some experience with this.
One system, they got in through a monitoring application that someone had installed with a default password, they then loaded up a copy of their intrusion software and used the company's high speed connection to search for other exploitable systems.
Another system I worked on, they exploited a FTP server, and started loading the server up with movies that I suppose they were sharing out. They overdid it and crashed the server, so were caught quite quickly, but that could have gone on for a while had they not made that mistake.
It all depends on the goals of the hackers, I imagine my first example is quite common, but the second is just as probable..
So, since you don't believe in trickle down economics, you must work for yourself or the government. A rich person couldn't pay your salary, as then you would be proven wrong, that money does trickle down.
Yeah, pretty amazing. No lab has any of their tests validated by the FDA, how dare Theranos get their first one validated. They should be shot for trying to enter the medical market, it is what their kind deserves right?/s
In the US, you go to the doctor, s/he hands you a form for blood work which s/he will explain you hand carry to the blood work place (down the hall from my doctor) to have the blood work done.
You would get the instructions from your doctor, so it should be self explanatory.
You really should expand this whole thread and read it from top to bottom.
Want to know the truth? Get an XP box with no updates connected to the internet without a firewall? Countdown to infection is around 30 to 45 seconds!
I saw that paraded so much that eventually i tried it, and no it is complete bullshit.
You aren't as right as you think. There was a time when a fresh install of XP was indeed infected before updates could be downloaded from Microsoft. That pretty much ended with SP3. Actually, I think it was addressed with SP2, but the first SP2 also broke XP on AMD machines, causing an endless reboot cycle. Naturally I was quite biased against SP2 for that reason.
SP3 is an update.
The original thread was XP without updates gets pwned within a minute. Someone trotting out how that isn't true with SP3 doesn't change anything, that is an update, XP without updates still gets owned in less than a minute as sp3 is an update and doesn't count as XP without updates, so doesn't change anything about what was said.
Funny you should mention barbers as that gets into an interesting story about the origin of the barber's pole, and that barbers way back when performed surgery.

If money doesn't trickle down, who pays the salary of that "poor" person. They must be independently wealthy to not be being paid by a corporation.
