    No he's saying what the he'll because your post was triple-distilled insanity. I'm not saying you're right or wrong we just have no idea what you're talking about.

    I was under the impression SCI was handled at a local/departmental level. So your CO or his CO would determine whether or not you have "need to know" specific red slashed documents.

    I don't think there is a specific clearance for SCI besides top secret and having the need-to-know required to view the document.

    Anyone with experience that can speak on this?

    That is not a doable solution. You don't want the natural gas, propane, etc, but you DO want volatiles that are in the oil to use for fuel. Also, again they'd be lowering the calculated volume of the oil, and get less money for it.

  10. Re:Benign, eh? on First Liquid Machines Presage Soft Robots · · Score: 1

    There are a lot of other oxidizers that can create oxides. Potassium permanganate and ozone (O3) are two such highly reactive oxidizers. Ozone obviously is still just oxygen, but it's far more reactive than diatomic oxygen.

    The Gallium (I) oxide is a very strong reducing agent, so that could theoretically set off a reaction. The Ga(III) oxide is far more common...but as you pointed out a lot more than just the oxides can be formed. The oxide is just one I know off hand as a bit dangerous.

  11. Re:Benign, eh? on First Liquid Machines Presage Soft Robots · · Score: 1

    I'm sure at least one strong oxidizer exists in our body that could pull the Gallium off and make Gallium Oxide. No way that could go wrong.

    You're talking about an entirely seperate issue. This is all about the NTP amplification, as the article says a server on a gigabit port could theoretically push 200 gigabits.

    I run a service that has 2 dedis on 10 gigabit ports..what if those got compromised or were owned by those unethical?

    No $5 booter is going to do anything close to this kind of damage. A gigabit maybe, but that's about as high as it would go, despite their claims.

    However I'm sure some will be adding NTP amplification to their "services."

  19. Re:Of course on 'The Color Run' Violates Agreement With College Photographer, Then Sues Him · · Score: 5, Informative

    As much as it sounds like these guys are being pricks on the surface here is a response from the owner that raises some pretty serious questions:

    "Hi, this is Travis Snyder.

    I wanted to respond personally to this matter. As the founder of The Color Run, I've had the opportunity to work with many successful creative partnerships of all sizes, including amazing photographers. I respect their ability to capture the essence of our event and fully believe that they deserve attribution for their work to showcase their talents. This issue with Max is a single anomaly and quite frankly makes me sad. Max first came to shoot The Color Run because we granted his school class non-commercial access to come shoot the race in Miami where the photos in question were taken. After this, Max actually ended up working our events over the next year as a non-photographer and traveling and setting up with our traveling teams.

    About a year later, Max first initiated questions about the use of some of the Miami photos. We sat down and genuinely tried to reach an amicable solution, including offering financial compensation and exposure through our networks. Our offers were declined, and met with the following demands:(language taken from legal filings)

    -"$100,000.00 US deposited into my business bank account" (This amount went on to be raised by Max to $300,000).

    -"To be named the Official Photography Sponsor of The Color Run (Globally) for the remainder of its existence."

    -"Max Jackson Logo to be added in sponsors section on the bottom of all web pages"

    -"My name to read at the bottom of any TCR photo's used in legible print from the next print run forward as, Photograph by Max Jackson"

    -"if no efforts are made within 15 days, to contact me I will be forced to take further action"

    Understandably, these demands were quite difficult. They went far outside professional compensation and credit for photography work. We discussed other options, and ultimately when Max said he was planning to sue rather than continue a dialogue, there was little option left but to defend our rights through the legal system. I have been and will continue to be at the table to visit about how to resolve this outstanding issue.

    As hard as it is to see tweets calling you a "#scumbag", I love the Internet and its ability to give everyone a voice. I also appreciate the opportunity to share more information and insight into a complex situation. My personal hope and intention has always been to get this resolved directly, amicably, and fairly."

    To me this begs the question: what if the site is using a reverse HTTP proxy (HAproxy or the like) to prevent DDoS? They can just changing to different services (in countries where hosts don't give a f**k), and change their IPs.

  24. Re:Temporal Control Circuits on National Ignition Facility Takes First Steps Towards Fusion Energy · · Score: 1

    Well of course a pound of gold is a more valuable commodity. However let's do a proper cost-to-cost comparison:

    A pound of gold is currently worth roughly $20,000 pre-SHTF. 25 pounds of salt costs $3.75-$4 if bought in bulk (50 cases at a time)...

    So for the cost of one pound of gold you could buy 133,000 pounds of salt. Of course no one can say for sure, but I think that's a kind's ransom worth of salt in an SHTF scenario.

    Of course no one (well most people) would stockpile THAT much even if they subscribed to what I'm saying. I'm just saying that comparing a pound of gold to a pound of salt is kind of an unfair comparison. You're only considering the after not the before value-wise.

    Everyone seemed to be sharing their anecdotes, so I thought I would share one of my own. Why does your criticism matter?

    For that matter (heh) why do 90% of the comments on here matter. Half of the huge threads on stories are about things that only very vaguely (if at all) have anything to do with the topic. 2 people get into an argument about something really fucking stupid like hosts files (hi APK) on an article about Fukushima, etc.
