The magazine attributes an initial web site breach to Anonymous, who were reportedly trying to persuade the commission to enable more security features on their automated vote-counting system before upcoming national elections on May 9.
Is the potential lost of privacy of everyone worth the potential lives of a few.
To the opposite of many people here, I value human lives a lot and each preventable death is a death too many. So if helping the FBI could save even one person, in my eyes it'll be worth it.
OTOH, repressive regimes might also use it to find, tordure, and dissenters.
Meanwhile, the cnyical half of my brain is waiting for the FBI to tell us how many thousands of lives this saved.
In all fairness to Trump, he is an excellent con-man! I do however think he has not quite thought this through, because if he becomes president, he will have to deliver _something_ over those 4 years, quite unlike his usual modus operandi.
Yeah, the most interesting question about Trump is "What is his face-saving end game?"
"The size and magnitude of this newly defined eruption is as large, if not larger, than better known eruptions at Yellowstone," said the study's lead author, Dr. Thomas Knott, in a University of Leicester press release, "and it is just the first in an emerging record of newly discovered super-eruptions during a period of intense magmatic activity between 8 and 12 million years ago."
I suspect a lot of the problem was the sheer mass of intelligence involved. You hear about low-level officials that tried to sound the alarm, but the problem is that everyone passed their concerns to their boss, and every boss winnowed it down for presentation to their own boss, and as a result the signs of 9-11 that we now recognize by hindsight didn't make it to the top.
Not sure there's a solution for this. (See also the recent story on current NSA data overload.)
Yeah, the free trade agreements were supposed to let us get our toys cheap. Instead, the prices kept going up, the quality went to shit, jobs are gone, and wages are stagnant. The only people to benefit are the middle-men who buy cheap, sell dear, and pocket the difference.
And it's naive to think the politicos will balk at destroying the domestic IT sector, after destroying everything else.
No, the entire campaign was only supposed to take six weeks. As some historian has pointed out, you can't blame it's failure on decisions taken after it was already supposed to be complete.
Under the hypothesis that I'm ASD, I beg to differ. I was miserable when I tried to be like everyone else. Once I (hypothetically) figured out what the problem was, I quit trying and am much happier now.
I get some social interaction at work and while running errands, but I don't seek it out, and if anything, I get more than I want.
And both used email despite the fact that at that time their departments didn't have email servers. They should have not decided to break the law and use email. Using email was a crime that the Republicans did. Republicans did.
If you had managed to hold your knee down long enough to read my post, you might have noted that neither it nor what it quoted said anything about e-mail servers. They were both about retroactively classified e-mail.
If you wanted to fault me, you could have pointed out that I should have called it a clarification rather than a correction to the post I was responding to.

How's that War on Trump going, guys?
No dark matter is the souls of the departed, undetectable except by their mass.
the Ripculus Oft?
Ok let's reword this :

...or should law enforcement be able to deploy those bugs as crime-fighting tools?
Um, no, law enforcement doesn't get to skirt around due-process just because it's inconvenient.
My, aren't *you* old fashioned!
They're probably living in a fantasy world where the Good Guys(tm) have secure encryptions, but anyone else can be cracked.
How that's quite supposed to work, I cannot guess.

Can anyone spot the logical fallacy in the above quoted post from Scott Adams?
Quoting from Scott Adams?
His cartoon was occasionally funny, but otherwise he's a pontificating idiot.
It's politically neutral - just the brain reacting to the orange light.
The RNC is afraid the candidates will embarrass everyone by arguing over who's packing the biggest gun.

So he's a magmatician?
What does creationist/Christian have to do with it? It either climbs or it doesn't.
Creationist/Christian would only be relevant if you were discussing *why* it climbs (or doesn't).
I never really got the idea of the "Darwin" Fish.
Probably just for trolling creationists.
it could be called Planet X.

On a related note, for those who hold Islam responsible for recent terrorism, who do you hold responsible for the IRA's terrorism?
Irish Catholicism?
All Catholicism?
All Christianity?
All religion?
All people?

The question is, how many cows signed up?
But not very relevant to this discussion.
If you don't want to try, is the need actually there?

I get some social interaction at work and while running errands, but I don't seek it out, and if anything, I get more than I want.
Maybe so, but OTOH, if you don't want companionship, do you still suffer without it?

Nuclear would be much more feasible, no worries about long term health effects and less shielding, weight, propellant, and costs.
Also, they could just crash the craft into the planet, saving lots of cost for a lander.
Speaking of which, has anyone figured out how to get someone to Mars without being killed by exposure to the natural radiation in route?
If not, all these other grand ideas are useless.
