of course there should be an air-gap on any plant system like this, and likely is... But then again there are things specifically targeted at jumping air-gaps. I dont think there are any "experts" who believe stuxnet/flame hit targets directly.

Doesnt sound like a top-level professional, but the junior-grade trainee - probably taking orders from above.
A software engineer would never be able to make what a CEO makes without learning to smile while lying and stabbing people in the back. Most software engineers I know/am would prefer to not be a total douche bag, and aren't suffering too badly for that.
You've got to be crazy, you gotta have a real need You gotta sleep on your toes when you're on the street You've got to be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed Then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight You've got to strike when the moment is right without thinking After a while you can work on points for style Like the club tie, and the firm handshake A sudden look in the eye, and an easy smile You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to So that when they turn their backs on you You'll get the chance to put the knife in You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder You know it's gonna get harder, harder and harder as you get older Yeah and in the end you'll pack up, fly down south Hide your head in the sand Just another sad old man, all alone and dying of cancer And when you lose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sown And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around So have a good drown as you go down all alone, dragged down by the stone Gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise If I don't stand my own ground, how can I find my way out of this place Deaf, dumb, and blind--you just keep on pretending That everyone's expendable, and no one has a real friend And it sems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner Everything's done under the sun And you believe at heart everyone's a killer Who was born in a house full of pain Who was trained not to spit in the fan Who was told what to do by the man Who was broken by trained personnel Who was fitted with collar and chain Who was given a pat on the back Who was breaking away from the pack Who was only a stranger at home Who was ground down in the end Who was found dead on the phone Who was dragged down by the stone
I know this is getting off topic, but I was thinking of the Republican _outrage_ against the below-250k-obama-no-new-tax stance.
If you are making between 250 on upwards to at least 350-400k, then you are probably smart enough to hire and afford an accountant and tax professional who can do all kinds of creative (and legal) stuff to your tax returns to get your taxable income down to 250k or less.
So really, I interpret it as higher than 250k. Now, you can actually live decently in Mountain View or even Saratoga/LosGatos for that...
I'm screwed out of living on Skyline Drive tho:(

I'm guessing those who think that 120k/yr is _alot_ of money havent really looked at the cost of living in the Bay area and others.
I have. For me, mainly due to housing prices, it's more or less the equivalent of an 80k/yr in many other places that have _reasonable_ housing costs.
as the first poster alluded to - computer gaming would be completely supplanted by the real life games of survival that would resemble something out of the Fallout series
In some places, like Texas, probable cause isnt really needed if they want to search your persons.
There are many loopholes in the law that leave the decision to "arrest" a suspect of seemingly trivial, non-violent offenses (such as jaywalking, or running a stop sign) up to the officer. Purportedly for safety, the officer may search your persons/property and of course hope you didn't have something incriminating on you.

Espionage != sabotage
Look at the computers on the desk here:

Any clues as to control over some of the SCADA systems here might do?
in my best "say what again!" voice: Tell me it's not gonna cause problems!
right. we dont.
I was thinking the same thing. Another lone-wolf hacker ;)
If he has half a brain, he's trying to turn himself to the nearest NATO affiliated embassy. If not, he will shortly disappear.
In Soviet Russia, you get hacked.
Borat's bumbling was just cover for a true-to-life Eastern European cyber-James-Bond?
uh, no...

You've got to be crazy, you gotta have a real need
You gotta sleep on your toes when you're on the street
You've got to be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed
Then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight
You've got to strike when the moment is right without thinking
After a while you can work on points for style
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake
A sudden look in the eye, and an easy smile
You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to
So that when they turn their backs on you
You'll get the chance to put the knife in
You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder
You know it's gonna get harder, harder and harder as you get older
Yeah and in the end you'll pack up, fly down south
Hide your head in the sand
Just another sad old man, all alone and dying of cancer
And when you lose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sown
And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone
And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around
So have a good drown as you go down all alone, dragged down by the stone
Gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused
Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used
Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise
If I don't stand my own ground, how can I find my way out of this place
Deaf, dumb, and blind--you just keep on pretending
That everyone's expendable, and no one has a real friend
And it sems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner
Everything's done under the sun
And you believe at heart everyone's a killer
Who was born in a house full of pain
Who was trained not to spit in the fan
Who was told what to do by the man
Who was broken by trained personnel
Who was fitted with collar and chain
Who was given a pat on the back
Who was breaking away from the pack
Who was only a stranger at home
Who was ground down in the end
Who was found dead on the phone
Who was dragged down by the stone

Do the rows of diesel generators and huge AC units give it away?

ahh yes - you were holding it wrong!
I, for one, welcome our new corporate overlords...
I recall something similar occurring to ilovejackdaniels.com which was a language cheat sheet site, which is now addedbytes.com: http://www.addedbytes.com/blog/what-happened-to-ilovejackdaniels-dot-com
it is pure, unrestrained capitalism. What could possibly go wrong?

+1 I picked up Alton Brown's Good Eats: The Early Years a while back and like the TV show of its namesake, it is as informative as it is entertaining.
do they not also sell many books and periodicals that have plenty of practical information about dark arts of finance, business, and legal domains?
