This article is one of the dumbest things I have read in a long time. Not only is the dam system stupid but there's no way these companies would actually do this. It's so much cheaper and easier to just move to a new location.
Why do you need anyone to buy your stuff when you control all of the means to produce anything you'll ever need? The only reason you'd need people to buy your stuff is so you can turn around and spend that money to buy more things you want. If you can have those things automatically made for you, you don't need money.
Finding an expert in computer security is not that hard. It's not like finding an expert in some obscure field like the history of dressage equestrian lineages. At the very least, pick up the phone and call the local university and ask to speak to an IT or Computer Science professor. Your average person is too reluctant to even attempt to understand the issues surrounding technology but the fact of the matter is that technology has a very significant impact in our lives. Every organization that calls itself a news org NEEDS to have a panel of technology experts that they can call regularly. Technology is too prevelant for news organizations to be this ignorant of it.
The problem is that almost all news consists of reporting what politicians and other figures are saying, rather than doing any ACTUAL research. Any sentence implying that Snowden is "brilliant" for using his privelages in the way that he did should be immediately followed by a line in the news story saying "However, our research shows that anyone with a passing interest in computers and especially systems administration could have done the same thing with ease". Journalists need to start calling people out on their bullshit with actual facts rather than reporting "Well according to obviously biased source A..."
The whole point of text messages is to allow for asynchronous communications with someone. Texting someone while they're driving is one of the best times to do it because it means they can get back to you whenever they're done. It's the driver's fault completely for looking at the text. Could you blame Facebook for pushing an update to your phone while you're driving if you looked at it and crashed?
They said we'd never be able to start gaming in 2D, but now we've proven them wrong! Vast R&D budgets were spent developing the technology to convert hum-drum 3D games into exciting and powerful complete 2D gaming experiences! Come get yours for just 4 easy payments of $30!
All of the passwords and credit card information was hashed and salted which is way more than we've seen from the compromises of most "real" businesses. Take my bank, for example: the passwords do not allow special characters and they're not even case sensitive! I'm quite happy that Riot has at least taken some simple steps to protect our information in the event of an intrusion. I don't know what vulnerability they fell prey to but I do know that security is a generally hard problem to solve. I'd chalk this whole thing up to sensationalism.
Your boss will not tell you explicitly not to tie off. He'll tell you that if you don't work faster, they will fire you and find someone who can. Eventually you find people desperate enough for money that they're willing to risk life and limb for it.
We don't send them money. We then them things (read: tanks, aircraft, arms, etc) made in the USA, many of which sit in crates and warehouses unused. Most of the financial aid given to Egypt doesn't even leave the US; it goes straight to the manufacturers of said things and makes the CEOs very rich indeed. The military-industrial complex wins again!
Build orders are a crutch for those who do not understand how to play the game properly. Good build orders are built on an understanding of how to efficiently utilize your resources to prepare for defeating your enemy while remaining prepared to defend him. Any player who relies on build orders to play the game will almost certainly lose as soon as a wrench is thrown into their plans because they will either continue following an order that is no longer optimal or will have no idea what to do next. If you know how to play, your choices of what to build at any time is dependent upon the ever-changing landscape of the game.
Actually, IANADBMWI (I am not a dietician but my wife is), the process of grinding vegetables into a paste (or smoothie) DOES change its nutritional value. The process of pasteification can actually break down many of the complex molecules of the nutrients at which point they are no longer as valuable to your body.
The jury has no idea that anything unconstitutional has happened. Not even the defendent, prosecutor, nor the judge are told that law enforcement was given a tip by the SOD. It's a complete coverup.
But we now know that the DEA probably gets its info from the NSA, and hands it down further to your local sheriff.
Not probably; definitely. From TFA:
The unit of the DEA that distributes the information is called the Special Operations Division, or SOD. Two dozen partner agencies comprise the unit, including the FBI, CIA, NSA, Internal Revenue Service and the Department of Homeland Security.
A former federal agent in the northeastern United States who received such tips from SOD described the process. "You'd be told only, ‘Be at a certain truck stop at a certain time and look for a certain vehicle.' And so we'd alert the state police to find an excuse to stop that vehicle, and then have a drug dog search it," the agent said.
After an arrest was made, agents then pretended that their investigation began with the traffic stop, not with the SOD tip, the former agent said. The training document reviewed by Reuters refers to this process as "parallel construction."
Officials have stated (although you never see this in the headlines) that the closures were not due to ANY NEW INTELLIGENCE COLLECTED. This is a pure scare tactic by the government in response to changing public opinion. Of course nothing will happen, or maybe something will. It's a win-win for the government either way because they can either claim to have stopped it and protected Americans or claim that we need more surveillance.
I read the same thing and to me the fact that they are invoking 9/11 is just to instill greater fear throughout the populace. Remember V for Vendetta? The public opinion of the government begins to change so the government tries to remind the populace that it needs the government by planting scary news stories and invoking the St. Mary's virus. This is
I read in the Wallstreet Journal this morning (which my father-in-law reads) that "Washington Officials say this move is not an indication that there is new intelligence information that has been collected" Meaning: Yes, it absolutely is a manufactured scare tactic.

Step 1. Ignore the facts
Step 2. Rewrite history
Step 3: ????
Step 4: Profit!
(Step 3, in this case, is to use this ignorance to advocate for further relaxed regulations, against the best interests of the general population)

Here's why your idea won't work: In the future, there is a shortage of tubes because they're all being used by the internet!

Can we get a +1 BURN?

Privacy has long been held to be essential to liberty. It is required for freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of religion, etc. etc.
But we now know that the DEA probably gets its info from the NSA, and hands it down further to your local sheriff.

SAME
THING
I should clarify that by "the move" in the above quote they mean the move to close 22 embassies in the middle east.
I read in the Wallstreet Journal this morning (which my father-in-law reads) that "Washington Officials say this move is not an indication that there is new intelligence information that has been collected" Meaning: Yes, it absolutely is a manufactured scare tactic.
I'd settle for people standing in the streets going "Rabble Rabble Rabble". It's better than the apathy we've got now.
I would give you a +1, if I could.
You're thinking of McDonald's: http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2013/07/15/2300321/mcdonalds-buget-low-wage/ . They've since changed the heating to "$50" in attempt to save face: http://www.practicalmoneyskills.com/mcdonalds/ Still, the health insurance budget amount on the example is lower than the cheapest health insurance offered by McDonald's and the budget only works out if you're working two part time jobs for 70-75 hours a week.
