" IT technicians are not trained to make that determination." Oh come on. Your statement was that it was kiddie porn and they guy was let go to avoid a scandal. That is why this new law is should not be needed current laws cover it pretty well. What you are describing is not one but two felonies being committed.
"If that's the case, than I have committed multiple felonies over a twenty-year career. Every time pornography — leagal or not, it doesn't matter — pops up, my obligation as an IT technician is to report to management."
Yes if it is legal porn then it is not an issue. If it is illegal then you also must report it to the police or see that it is reported to the police. AKA you can report it to management and then report it to law enforcement. The simple solution would be to ask management, "Do you want me to report this to the police are will you handle that?"
Your job rules can not take precedence over the law.
You still have the legal issue of silence is consent. Hospital policy does not override the law. You had knowledge of a crime being committed, you did not report it, and you helped with a cover up all because you were afraid of getting fired. I am not trying to say you are a monster you are just human but that is exactly what are are describing. You took part in a coverup of a felony.
Except that the bug was in OpenSSL for years. It did not work the way it is supposed to at all. One of the big problems we are having with FOSS is the same that we are having with COTS software and that is monoculture. A few programs dominate certain spaces so when you have a vulnerability in one of those programs it is a huge issue. OpenSSL, MySQL, Windows, PHP, Flash, Outlook, Bind, and so on are all programs that carry a very high price tag for error. OpenSSL is a great example of a failure in the FOSS model. Just about everyone depends on OpenSSL but for many years it was starved for resources. People took but very few ever gave back. Just about the only FOSS projects I know of that are not really starved for resources are Linux and maybe Firefox and Firefox gets paid money by setting a default search engine. FOSS has a problem in that everyone sees it as free as in beer and almost no one gives back and no I really do not feel that being an FOSS advocate as giving back anything.
Wow who knew that members of the KKK posted on Slashdot. The LDS Church has some of the strictest rules about child abuse, spouse abuse, and plural marriage. Yes you will hear about fringe offshoot churches but they are not the big LDS Mormon church. So you are ignorant, stupid, a liar, and or a bigot. Circle the ones that apply.
In the US you are probably guilty of being an accessory after the fact and of destroying evidence. Going back to English Common law silence is consent. Medical people are required by law to report all forms of child abuse.
Yea the hospital you work in if it was in the US broke all sorts of laws. You maybe off the hook because you reported it to security but the hospital is in a world of trouble if this info is ever made public. AKA the guy gets caught and cuts a deal to bust the hospital for covering it up.
I am right with you. Wish that Slashdot would have stuck with mostly FOSS and cool tech stores and drop the social stuff. Frankly Slashdot just was not supposed to be a general news source and it sucks at politics and even the filtering is ignored by the editors.
"The rise of "social justice" has meant that good journalism is deemed "intolerant", "bigoted", "racist", "sexist", "homophobic", "transphobic", and any number of similar false accusations.
Take what's happening in Europe right now. We see an influx of young men, many of them clearly with violence and rape on their minds (as we've seen in Cologne, Paris, and other cities), entering Europe illegally. Yet despite this being a form of an invasion by hostile foreign invaders, we never see it described as such in the media. Instead, they try to sugarcoat the reality by using terms like "migrants" or "refugees", because not doing so would result in these media outlets getting attacked by the "social justice" crowd."
I am not fan of the extreme left social justice crowd but really? If you take x number of desperate people into your nation to help them a tiny number of them will be scum that will take advantage. It comes down to one question. Are you too afraid to help the many out of your fear of a very tiny number of scum. Frankly it is not like Cologne or Paris where free of rape and violence before the refugees came.
You can not be great and safe. As a hard core American I vote for great over safe.

For me it is the batteries that are the issue. You have a device that takes power in your home and it uses batteries? Really why is this not hard wired to power with a battery backup?

Truth is that President Obama did have the killing of the constellation program as a plank in his platform. Frankly none of the HHLV that have been proposed over the last decade or so seem like great ideas. They mostly seem like recycling old programs.
1. No US military commander except the president can authorize the use of nuclear weapons. 2. The US not building this will not prevent other nations from building them. 3. This is just a nuke with a JDAM kit on it.

"Why not just use MySQL? It's free and PHP is built for it so you can run web applications on it." 1. PostgreSQL is free. 2. PHP works fine with PostgreSQL. PHP is not built for it. 3. You are not a programer in anyway shape or form are you? "so you can run web applications on it" What? BTW lots of "web applications" are not written in PHP. Python, Perl, Node.js and many other languages/environments are used for web programs.
I have always liked it better than MySQL. Just wish more frameworks and CMSs supported it as the primary database. Support for PostgreSQL always seems like an afterthought.
Not really. 305 billion! not million but Billion... Their are other issues. 1. New projects are seen as a way to solve problem while repairs cause problems. Anyone that has had to deal with a road repair project when commuting knows the feeling. 2. Some feel that the wrong projects are getting the funding. Highways instead of commuter rail. 3. The USs infrastructure isn't that bad. While far from perfect it does work. You can find lots of studies that say if x is not done we could have issues and they are correct but that does not mean that x will not be done. 4. Most infrastructure in the US is not under the federal government it is under state and local government and is paid for out of fuel taxes. When it comes to fuel tax it is about a 30.3/18.4 cent per gallon split between the state and federal government depending on what state you live in. California for example takes over 40 cents while Alaska takes 12.25. So if your infrastructure is failing look at your state gov first.
Because it is easier to get money for a new highway or bridge than to get money to fix one that is still working. But even that gets money http://www.usnews.com/news/pol... 305 billion is not exactly small change
"Infrastructure projects are not sexy, they aren't politically appealing - and they don't attract donor money. What corporation is going to give you campaign finance because you "promised to patch the crumbling concrete of a bridge in your town" ?" Simple construction companies, Infrastructure projects like highway bills are massive pork barrel job making bills.
Scramjets can get very close to orbital speeds so all that is needed is a small booster to put you into a stable orbit. Yea people want this for any number of devices. The fear on Slashdot at times borders on the level of fear of Trump supporters.
Ahhh. No This is also useful for space flight aka scramjet to orbit and also possibly for gas turbine blades as well as other high temp objects. Hypersonic strategic weapons will not have a destabilizing effect at all. Just as today SLBMs will be the final deterrent.
