The Glasgow-born systems administrator, who attended Highgate Wood Secondary School in north London, is accused of hacking into 97 United States military and NASA computers in 2001 and 2002, using the name 'Solo'. The computer networks he is accused of hacking include networks owned by NASA, the US Army, US Navy, Department of Defense, and the US Air Force.
The US authorities claim he deleted critical files from operating systems, which shut down the US Armyâ(TM)s Military District of Washington network of 2,000 computers for 24 hours, as well as deleting US Navy Weapons logs, rendering a naval base's network of 300 computers inoperable after the September 11th terrorist attacks. They claim the cost of tracking and correcting the problems he caused was $700,000. Gary McKinnon
Seems to be a difference of opinion on some of your points.
The one fact that keeps rearing its head is that even after you take out other socioeconomic variables, ADD and ADHD is much more prevalent in fatherless households. There is a very high correlation. And yes, I know correlation!=causation. However, you have to make some pretty big leaps of faith to get around it. Dads have a much different parenting style and discipline style than moms. It stands to reason that this would have an impact on the outcome of the children.
ADD and ADHD appear to have a strong hereditary correlation, it's as highly plausable the ADD/ADHD fathers are more likely to leave their families as it is that the absence of a Father contributes to ADD/ADHD children; most likely is both facters come into play. ADD/ADHD Fathers have probably develop alternative coping skills and teaching them to their offspring would increase their functionality in society which doesn't happen if the Father is absent.
IANAL but I think it's even more complicated, just because the claims maybe state of the art when the patent was filed doesn't necessarily mean that it was state of the art when the idea was conceived; this can very easily turn into an expensive legal circle-jerk. Only one of the claims has to stand to bring in licensing royaltys.
Things like the nuclear document are just bullshit. If it's sensitive, it's Classified. If it's not sensitive, it's not. The End. If it was sensitive and improperly declassified, then that's a Monumental Fuckup. You can't say "oh noes nukelar secrets on lemonwire! give us teh monitoring contract!" What are the details, mailing addresses?
Not necessarily, IAEA's documents are frequently labeled documents sensitive even if everything in them is taken from press releases.
I'll laugh my ass off if it was one of the kids borrowing Daddy's laptop to downlaod some music like all the other kids do at school! Imagine the hilarity that will ensue if the President get one of those pesky RIAA settlement letters! Maybe now we know there the music on the Queen's IPOD came from.
There is absolutely no obligation on scientists to provide raw source data to any random person on request. Why is that temperature data published on the web by NOAA funded by US taxpayers suddenly pulled? You don't have to be a scientist to write a Perl script and generate some pretty graphs. It's just temperatures from a monitoring station, the reason it's pulled is because it's crap, it is incapable of either supporting or refuting anything remotely related to climate. What the data I've seen calls the daily average temperature is simply halfway between the daily high and the daily low! The most you can determine with certainty is what the daily high and low does. It tells you nothing about how much time occurred at any temperature or even when the recorded temperatures occurred during the day.
I think the only reason why America took so long to change was because of them having so many lobbyists from the fossil-fuel brigade.
Think about this if you were a giant petro-chemical company, knowing that we are almost at or even past peak-oil, what would you do; 1. Continue to race through the last of your petroleum in the low profit margin comodity fuel market, 2. get the vehicles on an alternative fuel and sell the rest of your petroleum in the high profit margin specialty chemical market?
I didn't say the karaoke publisher could distribute the original song writers lyrics without license because they do, but by changing a word or two it they own the changes and it's easier for them to litigate copying because they can more easily should that it was their disk that was copied and can bring the original song writer in as an additional injured party.
If you submit a bug patch to a GPL'ed project, you own the copyright to the patch, the original programers own the copyright to their code.
Most languages are pretty easy to read, I'm assuming the problem is not knowing the gazillion supporting libraries inside out that's causing his problem.
Facts can not be copyrighted in the US, when you purchase a Karaoke disk, the lyrics are a fact. they are the lyrics copyrighted by the author so only the author would hold the copyright, not the Karaoke disk publisher, so they always change at least one word, they then hold the copyright on the change, making it easier to protect their work. When you play Trivial Pursuit a similar situation exists, so when you think the game's answer is wrong, you might be right.

I'm not on facebook but I'd assume that there is a big difference between "[insert pic] is the 10 millionth Facebook user" and "[insert pic] hook up with hot singles at sleazey.easy.example.com"; and most reasonable people would assume the first example is what they were referring to not the second.
Your assuming that a mini-blackhole created on Mars wouldn't be more dangerous if it hit the Earth than a mini-blackhole created on Earth would be; Marvin the Martian could be looking through his Acme catalog for a LHC right now!
Your assuming that the purely theoretical quantum black-hole 1 even exists, 2 even though its mass which is completely dependent on relativistic effects so its only a black-hole in one dimension, the direction of travel, that it would have an effect on normal classical object in 3D space-time. 3 that a quantum black-hole traveling at many 9's the speed of light could have any interaction with resting mass that would cause it to lose so much velocity (and therefore mass) that it wouldn't immediately cease being a black-hole!
If these things were blackholes because they had enough rest mass to be blackholes, I'd be worried.
The video mentioned antimatter hadn't existed since the Big Bang- I didn't know if that was said for simplicity's sake or if it was then believed true.
I'm sure they meant in quantity as in there are no longer atoms composed of antimatter around; there is plenty of subatomic particles of antimatter.
Ever consider that even if Hawkings was wrong and they created a black-hole that didn't evaporate almost instantly that it would just shoot off into the cosmos at nearly the speed of light and we'd probably never even know it happened.
Yeah because a sea worthy steamer, scud missile launcher and crude nuclear weapon are so easy to come by. Not saying the smart grid doesn't have other problems but it is far from easy to do serious EMP damage.
Well at least on purpose, all you really need is one good sized CME, Coronal mass ejection, which happen about every 50 years so we're due for one. Of course about every 500 years we get a big one, one that will make the Amish look high-tech afterwards, the last one was in1859;
The solar superstorm of 1859 was the fiercest ever recorded. Auroras filled the sky as far south as the Caribbean, magnetic compasses went haywire and telegraph systems failed....
During solar storms, entirely new problems arise. Large transformers are electrically grounded to Earth and thus susceptible to damage caused by geomagnetically induced direct current (DC). The DC flows up the transformer ground wires and can lead to temperature spikes of 200 degrees Celsius or higher in the transformer windings, causing coolant to vaporize and literally frying the transformer. Even if transformers avoid this fate, the induced current can cause their magnetic cores to saturate during one half of the alternating-current power cycle, distorting the 50- or 60-hertz waveforms. Some of the power is diverted to frequencies that electrical equipment cannot filter out. Instead of humming at a pure pitch, transformers would begin to chatter and screech. Because a magnetic storm affects transformers all over the country, the condition can rapidly escalate to a network-wide collapse of voltage regulation. Grids operate so close to the margin of failure that it would not take much to push them over.
According to studies by John G. Kappenman of Metatech Corporation, the magnetic storm of May 15, 1921, would have caused a blackout affecting half of North America had it happened today. A much larger storm, like that of 1859, could bring down the entire grid. Other industrial countries are also vulnerable, but North America faces greater danger because of its proximity to the north magnetic pole. Because of the physical damage to transformers, full recovery and replacement of damaged components might take weeks or even months. Kappenman testified to Congress in 2003 that âoethe ability to provide meaningful emergency aid and response to an impacted population that may be in excess of 100 million people will be a difficult challenge.â
I wonder if theses 'algos' have some built in A.I. which parses the days headlines to see if sufficient vacuous hype has been generated to make an investment worthwhile . ..
They don't need to. when the see a stock start to move because I'm trying to buy. they literaly buy it out from under me by getting their order to the floor before mine gets there, then they sell it back to me at a slight profit sp fast I cam't even see it. Wash rinse repeat it adds up to billions
But the error, caused the entire network to crash. I'm used to military equipment have "battle-short" switches, for "it's gotta work or your going to die" situations, I can easily see propulsion on a Navy Cruiser falling into that category even in non-combat situations. An app crashing shouldn't crash the OS, an OS crashing should crash the Network and a network crash shouldn't disable the ship.
I thought I remembered the Secret Service protecting a Judge in Chicago because of specific death threats; I assumed that it was because the judge received a specific and credible threat personally rather than routine court security, I easily could be wrong.
Yes it sounded to me like they patented Lisp and it's garbage collection method. Seems like they would be vulnerable to art priori and lack of novelty.

Not yet, but rumor has it that the reason Alan Cox whigged out was because he was secretly port the Linux kernal to eLisp and the stress was too much!

Your right it is back up, the useful stuff is now via subscription rather than unavailable, probably why they took it down for a while.
