and despite that, rigging the lottery has been done. The person most directly responsible got busted, but we can be certain that a lot of "side bet" money was made that went outside of law enforcement's view.

So I guess government agencies will be responsible for the accidents when they send Amber/weather/disaster alerts to the entire population of a region simultaneously? Yeah, right.
If you're sending an alert to as many as ten million people simultaneously (NYC mobile phone users?) there is definitely a reasonable assumption that at least some portion of them are driving when they receive it. And on my handset at least those things are LOUD (I've since disabled most of them)
This ruling is stupid beyond description.
a couple thousand pounds of radioactive waste over the life of the plant is a hell of a lot easier than the 800 TONS A DAY of flyash you need to dispose of from a similarly sized coal station.
As long as the self driving car only slavishly follows the ridiculously low speed limits in most of the northeast it will be more hazard to other drivers than benefit, and it will also be slower.
An increase or boom in tower work results in a higher number of incidents during that work, no surprise. If the RATE of incidents per given amount of work changes then we have something to talk about.
Why is the gender choice or alignment or preference or whatever of Manning even relevant to any of the current discussions, and why of all things it it relevant here? Sigh....
"There are explicit paths required to report something covered by the MILITARY whistle-blower protection act [wikipedia.org] complaints. Releasing classified information directly to the press or anyone public is simply not protected whistle-blower activity, particularly in military circles"
And every single person that has followed the official defined path has been shut down, fired, marginalized, harassed, etc. etc. etc. rather than their concerns or reports being vetted and addressed.
Perhaps THAT's why Snowden chose the path that he did? If he's going to be a martyr anyway, at least make sure that the information goes public!
Commercial fossil power stations already drive their stack gas temperature about as low as practical via various heat capture methods, reheat systems, etc. The limiting factor generally is not recovering more energy from stack gasses but the desire to never drive the stack gas temperature below the dew point in that exhaust gas, doing so causes all sorts of negative chemical consequences for the stack itself, pollution control equipment, etc., increasing maintenance cost and reducing equipment life due to aggressive corrosion of stack components and structure. Plants I operated were strictly kept from dropping below dewpoint on the exhaust for this reason, not to mention temperature input constraints for effective operation of some pollution control equipment, you CAN recover more energy from stack gasses, but doing so hits a cost negative and reliability wall.
Always remember that waste heat/energy for a utility station equates to large $$$, if there's a practical way to extract more energy from a given amount of fuel, they are likely there as quickly as they can implement it. But the carnot cycle and other less heat cycle related limitation put up a pretty tough barrier to going further,
Perhaps this is useful for more "pure" exhaust gas or waste heat streams, but I don't see it happening for commercial fossil power stations
I fail to see how this is terribly new or revolutionary from a tech standpoint. I was stationed aboard a carrier in 1985 when the first fully hands off automated landings of F-18's were tested. Seems to me that if we were able to do that in '85, how is this revolutionary. The only new feature is that the computer intercepted the landing system signals itself before landing, hardly a task that hasn't been in every autopilot for over e generation now.
Perhaps the organizer wish to avoid apolitical and protest maelstrom that could appear? Preferring to keep the conference at least somewhat apolitical?
Sounds like a sound marketing move by MS that also provides some capability to the OS via builtin drivers (avoiding the mess of hundreds or thousands of bad drivers from years past). Why is this news here?
If it appears on The Guardian, I think any classification is rather moot at this point isn't it?
This is more about restraint of a news outlet than protecting classified information.
Correction, you DO have a right to drive. The constitution does not grant rights, it only delineates important ones. Read the 9th and 10th amendments.
Just because the constitution does not specifically mention a right does NOT mean you don't have it!
They already violate long existing basic laws in dramatic fashion (4th amendment much?) I see this as just symbolic pandering when a single secret order from a secret court that can't be challenged because you aren't allowed to talk about it is all it takes to override even the most fundamental laws we have.
Actions speak louder than words.
Having interviewed a bunch of sysadmin candidates in recent history (technical interviews, I'm not an HR or management type) the single most important thing in our interviews is having enough knowledge to work through infrastructure or app scenarios "on the fly" in the course of the interview. We typically whiteboard a common simple app scenario (web front end/app server, sqlserver, storage, authentication source, fat client, and web client mix, firewalls, etc.) and discuss the architecture and securing of each section or connection of the scenario.
Sufficient understanding to "think on your feet" is what's most important for us. We are somewhat atypical that way in my experience (I've been through a LOT of different shops in govt, private industry and now education), but thinking on your feet skills will never hurt you!
if he was an independent researcher doing this it might be one thing, but in this case he's not revealing the vulnerability based on full disclosure principals, he's doing it to give his employer's largest competitor a black eye.

the 9th and 10th are already thoroughly trampled or abused into meaninglessness
Yes, the third has been violated in very recent history. If you count militarized police officers as soldiers: http://usahitman.com/hpafrohl/

That's significantly different than their collecting storing and correlating the date to reconstruct your movements in near real time.
yeah, cause presuming that everyone is guilty and virtually frisking them as they pass by is the perfect definition of a free and open society

You need to read the constitution again. It does not "grant" rights, it delineates the more important ones. Check the tenth amendment.....
just the government collecting data by proxy, just one secret court order away from retrieving your "business records"

Air traffic safety rules is one obvious example of "why"
of the price of "freedom"

Well, perhaps he should be sensitive in his position to the appearance of a conflict of interest?
if he was an independent researcher doing this it might be one thing, but in this case he's not revealing the vulnerability based on full disclosure principals, he's doing it to give his employer's largest competitor a black eye. Motives matter
