Mike McConnell, Director of National Intelligence, was interviewed on NPR this morning.
Mike McConnell, director of national intelligence, told Renee Montagne the main issue is liability protection for the private sector.
"We can't do this mission without their help," he said. "Currently there is no retroactive liability protection for them. They're being sued for billions of dollars."
He said the lawsuits are causing them to be less cooperative and that their actions are not illegal. If the actions are to comply with legal government activities, then why would they need immunity? IANAL, but shouldn't that be a slam-dunk against such a lawsuit?
Of course, there will be the standard set of "evil people use Macs?" Odd, I would have expected "evil people can't figure out how to use Macs" instead.
If we can create an optical event horizon that also seems to destroy information, this may allow us to witness how the Universe responds to such information destruction. BSOD
This was a Very Bad Thing (TM), but could have been far worse. Curiously, the incidence of this comment seems to go up precipitously when nuclear reactor incidents are discussed.
I have to ask, if they refuse to participate in the process that could win their freedom and prove they shouldn't be held, then why should I care if they are being held? "It's up to you. A life of ease and reflection and intellectual challenge... or this." "What must I do?" "Nothing, really. Tell me... how many lights you see. How many?"
I actually recommend classic assembly as early as possible. If you use a virtual machine that displays the state of the memory and CPU, it will give students a chance to get a grip on what the computer is really doing. THEN they can move on to C. (And/Or LISP, depending on what you want to teach them.) I agree with this in principle. Teaching you the basics at that level weeds out those who aren't serious and lets you appreciate the successive layers for what they do for you.
Being familiar with the available tools--assembly language, BASIC, Pascal, Ada, LISP, C, C++, Java, Perl, Python, PHP, shell scripts, etc.--is important to know what's available and how to select the best tool. Not every carpentry problem can be solved with a hammer and saw.
There's no way Google Earth can be used to see ancient footpaths, cemteries, buildings and cities. When I try to view my house in Google Earth I can't even see the village that the house is in. The only recognizable features are large blurry blobs and some of the small blobs. If ancient people lived in blurry blobs, then Google Earth may be of some help. Have you bothered to look elsewhere? The world is bigger than your village.
There are many areas that have really great resolution. Other areas, not so much. It's a large planet and previous surveys have prioritized their images.
In a word, no. Also, I don't think setting up a low level DDoS on the registrars is really the direction we want to move in. The hypothesized "synthetic demand"[*] does not really deny service to the registrars. It's essentially "crying wolf" on domains for which there is not actually demand. This would hopefully exert some amount of drag on the squatters' business model to make a difference. If they did notice it, they'd just spend some additional time adding extra smarts to the process.
[*] Just to be silly, I've done a whois on syntheticdemand.com, which at the time I write this post does not exist. Wonder how soon that will get registered?
And even if that weren't the case, they would surely try to argue that the "search" pages typically hosted at a squatted domain meant they were using the domain.
Considering that he's been representing the same district since 1983, I don't think the Republican/Democrat shift had much to do with this bill.
And since his district includes parts of Hollywood and the San Fernando Valley, it's likely that anyone who replaced him would be just as favorable to the film industry. ...but without the 24-year tenure in Congress giving him chairmanship of a critical committee.
Yes, they're called counter-notices and (as far as I understand) the only recourse after receiving one is to take legal action. Though the 'under penalty of perjury' claus probably discourages people from using these handy tools. A nice template for such a notice can be found at http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/Terrorism/form-letter.html. That's a counter-notice to a DMCA take-down notice, not a C&D.
Of course he's single. He's posting on Slashdot. Duh. This is an over-generalization. I'm sure some are married and post while his/her spouse is doing something on another computer, or post from work.
It should NOT give passwords to active directory I think you've misinterpreted the story. It sounds like the company president's AD-hosted authentication was getting locked due to too many failed attempts, or the password was getting set to something that was then immediately forgotten. Hosting centralized authentication and authorization is a perfectly reasonable use of AD.
4) the well-intentioned, yet clueless. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
5) fanboi bigots; these weak ego'd miscreants are so insecure that the mere mention of a competing technology will drive them into brutal defensive postures. Their reactions remind me of our current political upheaval As should #4.
It did exactly what it was designed to do - capture young minds. ...and save them for the inevitable moment you need an army of enslaved minds to unleash upon an unsuspecting world. I shall call them...Slashdot! Mua ha ha!
What? Oh, sorry. Er, in Soviet Russia, young minds capture you, or some such.

"Ground pounder" has been a nickname for infantry at least as far back as the Vietnam War.

Wonder how well he can handle an Aperture Laboratories portal gun?

Ralsky's been documented spamming for a long time. It's about time someone did something about him.

Perhaps a Power dying deep in the Transcend?
This may be redundant, but it's more appropriately worded IMHO.
