They'd have to arrest everyone pretty quickly, because without any encryption the entire planet's financial system would be compromised and collapse with maybe six months. Russian criminal gangs would OWN the banks overnight, it would be mass chaos. We wouldn't need Tyler Durden, with all financial transactions in the clear.
Also line the inside of your main computer room with tannerite. You should also use some battery backup explosive triggers, in case They shut off the power when attempting to breach your Evil Lair. Always add a deadman's switch too on a 72 hour timer so if They do catch you it will all disappear anyway. I would also put a thermite block directly over the hard drives too just in case. Tannerite runs under $100 for 1-2lbs and it's available all over the internet.
What about when a CEO fires "just enough" people to get their multimillion dollar bonus, even when it actually hurts the company down the road? The current corporate system has far more problems than just wealth re-distribution. Unethical outsourcing, environmental destruction, collisions to create bubbles, free-for-all commodities markets (like those that caused the mortgage crisis), no real repercussions for any of it. Yet too restrictive of regulatory systems causes competition in less restrictive areas to gain advantage; it's impossible to be "ethical" and still survive as a multi-national corp when your competition has factories in places that mandate suicide nets or employ under-age orphans as a routine business practice.
No one here on Slashdot could possibly come up with any workable policy on the fly anyway, I'm sure Bernie has quite detailed policies in mind for much of this already. He will still have to work mostly within the existing framework anyway, I have no idea just how much capabilities the Executive branch has in actually affecting real change...it can quickly send us into a war (at least for a while before Congress can even have a say), but didn't even prosecute bank employees who fraudulently changed loan contracts after they where signed.
well, then it's lucky for all of us Bernie isn't pushing an actual "socialist" platform. He's an anti-corporatism all the way, to the point ALEC has been attacking him for several months already. By the logic of your post, I'd add "corporatism is financial psychopathy" as we're moving towards a corporate oligarchy here in the US quite quickly.
And corporations aren't "peaceful" in their actions by any means. They start wars to get to resources, have "accidents" all the time that kill hundreds (if not thousands) of people because they cheaped out somewhere. Outsourcing 10+ percent of your workforce every six months overseas is only "peaceful" to people (and their employees are people too) if your definition of peace is "!=personal physical violence". They poison entire ecosystems, poison their own employees, run entire countries...and it appears the WORST that ever happens is some fines.
Reagan made many "vague comments" about aliens and claimed he and his pilot chased one when he was Governor of CA.; IMHO I think "Star Wars" was actually more for defense from an invasion than to knock down missiles. I doubt it would have worked to do either goal; it's only now that we are developing lasers powerful enough to do anything to a distant flying object. Reagan also talked about "space shuttles" that could transport "300 people", this was back in the 80's...
If I was Sanders, and actually got elected, I would just do whatever I could via "executive action" if Congress blocked me. Might as well live up to that whole "socialist dictator" meme the GOP is sticking you with! I don't know just how far the POTUS could push those, but I think some of his ideas (prison reform, federal student loans) could be shaken up just by canceling contracts, Executive branch policy changes, etc.
Yahwey Ben Yahwey wasn't a mass shooter, that's why RICO was used against him because he got others to do his dirty work...the ZEBRA killings are also not mass shootings. Serial killings, sure, but not mass shootings. Dorner was barely a "mass shooting" (or per your definition he isn't a mass shooter), with three victims. The DC Snipers are also not mass shooters. I thought this discussion was specifically about mass shooters...
On a lighter / sarcastic note, Alexi was an HP contractor...GO HP! We actually had "active shooter" computer-based training required after that, the "icon" for it was very AOL AIM like of one guy giving the other a karate kick...
Both these companies could quickly come up with policies that would satisfy most regulatory laws. Google could probably have something the FAA could use as a blueprint out within a few weeks; Amazon really wants the drones to fly AND doesn't want it to be some insane schema but just enough regulation so their lawyers and insurers can get behind it from the risk mitigation standpoint. I think we need two different "classes" (at minimum) for this, commercial vs. civil. It's ridiculous (and has been talked about many times) to equate a $50-$200 RC craft to a large cross country cargo drone than might cost millions.
The conspiracy theorist in me says the FAA is dragging their feet because right now that feel they have total power over this, and it's completely arbitrary as to what they say is "FAA law" from day to day. If they actually had written rules, this would restrict their power.
""- You have an African American problem. When a people group you beat on for hundreds of years get their freedom & guns: you've got a problem." and yet all these "active shooters" are NOT black. The way your putting this makes it look like black people are some type of armed resistance / freedom fighters...the only time black people here get really angry and violent in mass is AFTER someone in their community has been shot / killed by the (usually white) police. For several years we've had a crack problem which includes violence, but technically that too is a "white problem" since Ronald Reagen and the CIA where the ones that facilitated that whole debacle in the first place.
Indeed, many NSA managers kept giving him access to various systems because he could get stuff done ASAP. Eventually, he had access to "too much" information and started seeing a pattern. Live feeds from CIA drones all over the world, various spying programs with major US companies helping out, "pattern matching" for a "foreigner" at a 51% probability. "LOVE INT", with NSA employees using the agency's resources to spy on loved ones and potential dates. If he had been kept properly compartmentalized he probably wouldn't have ever got the "bigger picture" and the realization of just how far out of control the NSA over-all is now.
That's one of the main points behind compartmentalization. No one employee can see the whole of the operation. So, you THINK your writing some software to sort through what your told are "foreign nationals' voice mail", in reality it's being used in a general search right on AT&T's backbone in Room 641a. You never find out that your software is also being sold to several other countries and corps, and being used to track journalists and "dissidents" worldwide.
The main reason for Putin;s invasion of Crimea is Sevastopol. Over the years, Russia / USSR has poured billions into this town, and it is a strategic naval base. From a military standpoint, Putin would have been stupid to just let it go.
I run a WSUS in a 2012 VM, and I have all Windows 10 unchecked. All my boxes use it for updates. But the boxes are all Windows 7 Enterprise, and I don't think that will get pushed to Windows 10 as it's a valid MSDN corp key. Theoretically you could set up your own WSUS and punch a hole in your firewall, use a static / dynDNS ip so and write up a REG key that points at your server and give this out to your relatives.
Which is even more of an insult to the LGBT community. Not only is he basically holding a gun to the head of people with AIDS complications, he named the company after the famous gay mathematician who was basically tortured by the British for being gay. So it's doubly insulting, and is pretty much the opposite of what Alan Turing would actually do. This is a very rare level of douchebaggery, both very subtle (with the name) and in-your-face with the price rise. Reading about his other current financial antics, he might end up in jail soon anyway.
If it's potent enough rat poison, then the headache will soon be gone anyway. But, yes, this would just restart the whole "medicinal potion" with god knows what in it again...a better path would give the FDA the ability to fast-track generics. If a pill is chemically the same as another, and you can prove it, that should be the end of the FDA trials. Especially for a drug like this that has been around for 60+ years, there is no need to go through all the trials and testing on the same substance. Existing pharma companies should already be able to turn up an existing drug line and have something hit the streets in a few weeks if a drug is already off patent.
the Brits have a similar term, "all pants and no trousers". I wonder what side of the new companies this will hit; HEP or HPI. I'm guessing HPE, since we're already loosing 30,000+ more jobs might as well pile it even higher.
Or a drive going out, routers that are supposed to be a pair but someone forgot to set the sync, a cable getting accidentally unplugged...this isn't just code but also a ton of hardware. This is RTC (real time coverage) level stuff with a window of potentially seconds to respond. If there is some system glitch at a busy airport while planes are trying to land in bad weather, and no one is actually IN the tower to take over things could go really bad.
I guarantee it will be though. All the reservation, maintenance and engineering (M&E), various FTP / SAP / Oracle / IIS etc is all connected through the internet. But all that stuff is strictly AA, USAIR, etc equipment and I don't know about the companies that run the ATC.
In this industry they are more common than you think. I don't work directly in ATC, but I do work at the old SABRE building and we manage several large airline systems...from the PCs to the kiosk, os390's and IBM Z mainframes. Many sites have private circuits as redundants and now use VPNs across the net, but just this morning we had to have some clients switch over to the private circuits to get into a particular data center. Many airports have them linking back to various data centers, but they don't use them except in the even of the primary VPN failing.
That's because she, the teacher, probably knows exactly who the kid was, his dad, etc. He's been in the news there plenty. So she didn't want to make a carnival like that right then, I'll bet she knew it was fake. When the principal saw who did this, of course he's going to call the police since the entire town is freaked out from their mayor fighting with mosques over Sharia law courts. I'm betting the police decided to "show this kid what's real" "movie bomb? you want to be in a movie? You ever see Pulp Fiction, you punk?" attitude at him. It's law enforcement MO to "scare everyone straight" and use intimidation on everyone they set their sites on. Many law enforcement officers already think their on the "front lines" against terrorists, rioters, targeted killings, and are turning more and more to a "shoot first" policy, don't bother asking questions. All threats must be eliminated, trust no one that doesn't look like you.
The school is Islamophobic, and they did know exactly who he is. His dad has been in the news repeatedly a few years ago over some Koran burning. I'm sure the police have a profile on his dad and whole family. Irving, TX is the site zero of the "Sharia law" separatist court movement, and their mayor has been involved in what many Muslims call "anti-Muslim" laws to stop this "third party court" in this exact same town. This is an ongoing chess game, now a few "big" Muslim "associations" are stepping in with money and lawyers.
Perhaps there was some other encouragement here, his father was involved in some media fight with a Florida preacher who burned a Koran. Or maybe it's genetic. He was told early in the morning by a teacher specifically to "not show it to anyone else", so...he set an alarm to go off in class? He looked quite "indignified" in his photo-op shot in cuffs, and this IS Irving, TX. Home of the "Sharia law" court "scandal" which ALSO seems a bit trollish overall, and the mayor flipped out over it and blew it up. This was all part of a much larger game of chess, with players stretching all the way back to the Middle East via the kid's dad who, is a first generation immigrant from some war-torn country over there.
When the police interrogated him in the principals office, one said "yeah, I knew it was him". His dad was the guy who argued with the preacher in Florida who burned a Koran. This is the town that had an issue with some "Sharia law" courts some people had set up at mosques, and their mayor got into a big "Fox news" style fight with them over it being an alternate court "outside the Constitution". Anyway, there are news sites in Dallas with info about his interrogation, other people can look for them but it's pretty obvious what just went down. And with four or five cops, the principal, a teacher, all shoved into one office that is interrogation. Possibly illegal, but I'm sure some lawyer will soon find the specific statues about all that. The dad has some "big friends" with deep pockets, and this probably will end up in a court room soon.
Putting on my tin foil hat, and properly grounding it, I theorize that the city government has already "profiled" him, his dad, and his whole family after the burning holy book deal a few years ago. After the mayor freaked out and went to the state of Texas to get an "anti foreign law" bill passed, anyone that remotely looks like their from the Middle East is probably on some Irving police list. The school itself was probably briefed by the police, and the principal and teacher may have already known about the book burning argument etc. He was told by the first teacher to "not show it to anyone else" but later an alarm on the clock went off in class.
This could also be part of an even greater plot by the specific Muslim groups to push a persecution complex and the kid was in on it or encouraged. I'm sure Bill O'Reilly will say something like this soon. But I try to always apply Hanlon’s Razor to why he would program an alarm to go off in class. But this whole thing just reaks. Both of these "sides" down in that area of Texas keep baiting each other. Same area of the "draw Mohamed" shootings, "foreign law courts" who claim to just be third party arbitrators...both groups have apocalyptic Armageddon leanings. And it's Texas, so chances are everyone is heavily armed.
"outlined a plan" I work for HPE, and this is the first time I've hear of Mike's latest "plan". It's always a great day to learn once again of huge lay-offs via the internet and not a PEEP from anyone in my management chain. In fact, most people at work don't even know about this. Time to spread the cheer I suppose and start emailing my co-workers and making sure my resume is good to go.
HP Enterprise doesn't sell printers. We're the network side of the house. We run the "cloud", the airline mainframes, etc. No actual single human buys our product, we sell to corps and governments.
At least at my site it can't be moved. It's not feasible to move several mainframes, and the last time HP cut too deep it ended up with a giant fine from the FAA for a 45 minute outage. Apparently that lesson wasn't taken to heart.
