Almost as stupidly simple as reading the freakin' article. Which mentions that flash drives were banned inorder to keep the attack off of SIPRNet computers.
And almost as stupidly simple as banning soldiers from e-mailing and blogging on the public internet that, ummm, their families are on and, ummm, OK, maybe we need publicly accessible DoD computers.
is an Air Force airborne intelligence platform (RC-135) which carries infrared telescopes for tracking ballistic-missile tests at long range. COBRA BALL operates out of Offutt AFB NE and deploys to various locations around the world.
Absolutely. First job I had (15 years ago) I was debugging a piece of code that did various weird things to set/read bits in a word in a memory efficient way. These bits were used to control some loops. So there was a while(pow(stuff))for(otherstuff){for(morestuff) {moreweirdstuff}}
At the top of the block in question, a block which when printed out on the Epson Lq-510 ran 2 pages single spaced, was the following comment:
//why did I do this?
There were no other comments.
I wanted to hunt him down and kill him.
Ever since then, no one has complained about my code having too few comments. Nor too many, even though I comment everything. All variables:
int i,j;// loop variables
and
motor x,y;//the x and y axes
All methods and blocks, including closing braces because it may be a long block and I don't want to be scrolling up and down to see what the brace closes.
Guess what, the NSA has been exercising "the right to tap any and all international connections" for decades. As long as one end of the connection is outside the US they can listen in.
That Comcast is a ground based cable carrier, and hid it's interference, and AT&T is a wireless carrier whose TOS openly states that use of P2P applications on their wireless platform is grounds for termination of the contract? Slight differences there...
Some local school board will take the Act as a permit to bring religious instruction into their science classes. That will irk some parents. Those parents will sue. There will be a noisy and expensive federal lawsuit, possibly followed by further noisy and expensive appeals. The school board will inevitably lose. The property owners of that school district will take the financial hit.
...
Helping to defend creationist school boards in federal courts is not the Discovery Institute's game. Their game is to (a) make money from those spurious "textbooks" they put out, and (b) keep creationism in the news so that they don't run out of lecture gigs and wealthy funders. So far as those legal bills are concerned, Discovery Institute policy is: Let the dumb rubes fund their own stupid lawsuits.

Post it to RedState.
Do they still run on that Communist Open Sores content delivery system?

Filter error: You can type more than that for your comment.
more insightful than the summary?
Nope. Been here 10 years or so, and it's always been like this.
Except for OGG THE OPEN SOURCE CAVEMAN. That guy was insightful. I miss OGG

Being able to pause a live video stream on the home TV? Then fast forward to catch up to the live stream? No one else was doing that in the late 90's.
Because most parents remember what it was like being a teenager.

Oh yeah. I remember when AT&T was the Phone Company.
P2P traffic eats much more bandwidth than other types of traffic, and bandwidth isn't infinite. At least AT&T is open about what it's doing.
for a view of what a post-privacy world looks like.

AT&T's terms of service (as well as the TOS for most other carriers) bars the use of P2P applications on the wireless platform.
Apparently to conserve limited bandwidth.
When I want my kids to start reading I'll do that to them too. "Don't read these Evil Books!"
Sounds like infinite recursion to me.
Nuke the whales!
If a paranoid monomaniacal prima donna sysadmin holding the network hostage won't do that...
