I don't like 300 apps on my desktop. Nor do I like clicking sub menus in the start menu. Start menu search is fast and easy.
Just because you do not use a feature doe not make it useless. Personally I have never had an airbag deploy. Do I call for their removal from cars to save cost?

Yes, paper trails (or e-records trails) are there. However it would cost a small fortune for the DOJ to investigate that and name names. In an investigation like that you are looking for a needle in a stack of needles.
In addition, target investigations do not work well against systemic problems. If a company decides to skirt close to the edge of the law (using tactics such as regulatory capture) and fuck everyone over, the net result is a negative on society but the culprits can get by with a little hand waving and cash to grease the wheels.
Also, occasionally the DOJ will pull a name out of a hat and make an example of some execs. Normally only when the stink gets so bad it can't be swept under the rug. This keeps the peasants appeased, meanwhile it is business as usual.
According to The Next Web, WordPress topped the chart of platforms that experienced the most breaches (almost half of all attacks). English websites experienced the most attacks, with Chinese, German, Japanese and Russian language websites following closely behind.
Wordpress is the single most used CMS on the web and English is the most used language. The hijack rate corresponds closely to that. So Wordpress haters, go away before you open your mouth. I see more computers with Norton also have viruses. This stands to reason due to its market share. Does this mean norton doesn't suck, no. But raw numbers are misleading. WordPress may suck, but the primary thing is not updating, using poorly written and unmaintained modules/plugins and crossing your fingers. This is a recipe for disaster on any system.
What we need is people to take ownership of their systems, be it a PC or a website or anything else. This however takes time, thought and money. People want cheap and now, so they hire a cheap designer, pay for a cheap hosting platform, then wonder why the iranian datacoders league defaced their site with militant Islamic messages, or elitehackers.ru is delivering cryptolocker with theit webserver.
Professionalism has costs in dollars and other resources. Do not be surprised when you skimp.
With one breath you say you believe global warming. With another wou wish people professing it to murder suicide each other. Your goals are obvious shill. GW with or without the A is noticible by a person. I am 40 and have seen it in my lifetime. If you do not care about the future, or think we are powerless to stop it fine. Say so. But don't be a lying dbag.
You're right, of course, but if the information you are protecting is valuable enough to another, it's really just a question of conviction, budget, and time.
In Virginia prisons you must submit to short hair and no beard. Even if it is against your religion to shave or cut forelocks. Those that refuse are kept in segregation. IE the hole. 23 hour lockdown, very limited recreation and privileges. When I was in VA prison we tried to help them. Sneaking items into the hole. There were people with active court cases against this practice that'd had been in segregation for years, even over a decade.
HO is chinese and works for the Chinese.. who is the TVA employee?
To clarify this is from TFA:
Among the six unidentified American co-conspirators listed in the indictment is a person labeled "U.S. Person 1," described as the TVA senior manager for the probabilistic risk assessment in the Nuclear Power Group from April 2010 to September 2014. The TVA executive was born in Taiwan and became a naturalized citizen in 1990, according to the indictment. A payment by Ho to the TVA executive was sent to Chattanooga, according to the indictment.
My worst gaffe was scripting a 20k home folder move to a new disk. This went fine, but I did not replace the path in the passwd file correctly. This resulted in about 5k calls to our call center as shell accounts and email broke. Fortunately I backed up the passed file first. Ahhhh 1998.
I do not doubt that GW is happening. And I agree that it is likely mostly AGW. However, current ideas at stopping it are useless.
Carbon caps are shit. 1% increases in efficiency here and there are shit.
This leaves a few options:
1. A tech breakthrough in energy production.
2. Massive decrease in energy consumption, meaning a loss of lifestyle for a couple billion people.
3. A stopgap until item 1 happens. This means nukes.
Why is it we are not afraid to dump tons of radioactive elements into the air from coal plants (dilute yes), not to mention the ash and slag? We are not afraid to blow mountains to bits to do this: http://explore.org/photos/6235..., but we are afraid to set aside areas for relatively safe plants and storage? WTF is wrong with us as a species where we will keep giving money to barbaric warlords for fossil fuels, but not invest in better sources? Who is responsible for the drumbeat of fear that prevents makes this our current reality?
That would be useless. Any tech worth his salt is going to pull the drive from its running environment first thing for any ransomware infection. Either by booting to a USB environment (good luck disabling that), or physical removal. Hell in our shop I have a custom built storage server simply to image any jobs that come in the shop, ransomware included. The only exception are drives that have failed to badly to image.

I suggest https://www.webcrawler.com/ or Altavista or even gopher://gopher.floodgap.com/1...
We do not want to upset trade with China. If China asked us we would. China will not ask though.

Just pointing out how this can be used as a weapon against anyone, anytime.

Hey, I have a patented rotating device that extracts energy from the pressure gradient between thick and thin air.
Which is what they were doing here... testing.
For how long? http://www.businessinsider.com...
Very quickly indeed...
I have had papers slip out of my hand in a gust on a clear summer day fly up well over 1000 ft.
Technically it should be 60% or 3/5
