Maybe this is a takedown precursor DDOS like what happened to Demonoid? Gov't entities (or "white hats" working for them or the MAFIAA's) DDOS the site while preparing for a takedown so that the owners/users can't log in and change anything or delete any records?
You have a computer system that controls something potentially dangerous and that is off-limits to all but a select few. Why would you put that on the Internet?
Because if you have a several HUNDRED systems (or more) that need to be monitored/updated/maintained, and they sit at the tops of mountains or in other very inaccessible places, it's the best solution for now.
You would either need to hire a bunch of mountain-climbing computer experts, use a private radio system, or you can hook the sites up to the internet for remote control.
Getting that data by radio or some other private microwave network backbone might be prohibitively expensive or physically impossible. No mater what access method is used, a very high level of security would be required, but any lock can be picked, eventually.
There really is no good solution - physical visits are too difficult, private infrastructure access is too expensive, and internet access is too insecure.
That is absolutely hilarious, but it's interesting that "shit" has found it's way into the vernacular enough that a translating robot would substitute it as a normal general word synonym for "badness" or "bad situation".
It's also funny when the spammer launches an unconfigured autos-pam script (to: [recipient] type stuff)...
That said, what the little shit said is no shit, this shit is some very urgent shit!:P
Actually if you look at the times of the posts, this was the first attempt at the lie. The one positioned higher in the thread was his redundant attempt at repeating the lie later on, after he realized everyone was ignoring this one.
Because the alternative is MUCH WORSE. Yes, let's get back to the system and methods used to utterly destroy the US and World Economies, and turned the US from possibly the most admired and greatest nation in the world to the almost universally-hated Pariah it is today.
They have DESTROYED AMERICA as we knew it. Keep up the good work! The rest of the world isn't quite bankrupt yet.
You're welcome. What the fuck is REPUTABLE? Someone who you have personally dealt with? Someone everyone can trust? No such person exists universally, nice Straw Man.
But anyway, here are a bunch of more reports of this with SOURCES, if you don't think the Wikipedia article is correct. As far as them being REPUTABLE, that's open to opinion. Any random asshole YOU quote from won't be REPUTABLE to me. So there.
If that isn't a obvious Freudian slip indicating their conflict of interest with the Republican party, I don't know what the fuck is. Yes, the Dems liked the idea of e-voting but this was before the Repubs perverted the realization. The Republican party objected, then quickly found a way to get their unregulated business-connected fucktard "partners" to trample all over the process and game the system in their favor. Yeah, letting businesses run wild and do whatever they want is a REALLY GOOD thing for this country. NOT.
I read somewhere the wild color schemes were carefully chosen because they looked good and contrasty on a Black-and-White TV, which a large percentage of sets still were when the TOS aired.
I agree the remakes of the TOS episodes have much better FX, but to their credit, they didn't go over the top with Michael Bay type explosions, etc. The updated effects are fairly subtle and if you never saw the originals you wouldn't notice anything amiss or out of the ordinary. If you have TOS memorized scene-by-scene, then you will notice the changes, but IMHO they are a pleasant addition that wasn't over-done.
Hey this is Slashdot, without the car analogies, there would be no way for brain trusts like him/her to relate all their vast sums of knowledge to the rest of us drooling masses in a way we can relate to.
We are SO in their debt for enlightening us! Thank yew all...
Yeah, because then they'd have to deal with ACTUAL violent CRIMINALS in the jails, then - not a bunch of basically innocent people guilty of trying to forget that life sucks for a little while.
Slashdot Mirror
I do not think that word means what you think it means...
No, but two Wrights make an airplane!
It would take a rather thick, highly magnetic material to make a Faraday cage at those frequencies
Like oh, a BIG THICK STEEL SAFE, maybe?
something that shields from DC magnetic theories
*Sticks Fingers in Ears* LA LA LA LA LA! -- I am shielded from all theories now!
It can be. Ever see a CD in a microwave?
Mythbusters did it, plus I'm sure YouTube is rife with videos of similar "experiments"...
Actually, it's a more like a Millinery. A Haberdashery sells men's accessories, presumably including hats.

Sounds like an excellent plan!

Your ears must hurt from having your fingers "rammed" in them so hard. You're welcome.
Yeah, after they corrupted the system themselves (or had their business "partners" do it). Self-fulfilling Prophecy, it sounds like to me.
As for ramming stuff through, that's the technique required when dealing with assholes.
How about the President of Diebold quoted as saying they were "committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year." (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premier_Election_Solutions).

Where do they go? Into the Hoze-Zone layer...
I used to do LSD for no apparent reason, too...
Fully Laden? Isn't that Bin Laden's little-known brother?

Isn't this one of the old internet scams?
Please Help! I'm on vacation in a strange country and had my wallet stolen, please send $$ to my address: scammer23@aol.com to help me get home!

Can a kid come across your book and accidentally kill his buddy when they're reading it together?
Maybe if they're reading the Necromicon or The Anarchist's Cookbook...
