Gods honest truth, I took a call like that while working at Dell. She was still in warranty and that's what she used it for so I dispatched a tech to replace the part.
Except that air-gapped is only secure as the area its in and the person who has physical access to it. I doubt there was any true security being as there were so many "flesh-bots" walking around on all the ships. With as many "X malware/worm/virus/windows update enables transfer of data through lights/sound/fan speed/power bus/CPU temp/media seek" stories we get on Slashdot monthly, would you really trust any systems on the BSG to un-compromised? It was a TV show but, whomever wrote it certainly didn't think about cyber security when coming up with plot devices or continuity.
Between NIST & NSA published standards (available on both web sites, more with gov/mil access) every MS product and many of the *NIX flavors have been secured (for the most part). The problem is the bureaucracy -- the documentation, paperwork, politics, more paperwork, studies, dick sucking, etc... required to get an agency (hell, a sub-department) to change anything is so mind numbing it is just not worth the effort for the most part. If you climb the ladder high enough to actually be able to change something, your efforts are usually stalled by infighting because you stepped into someone else's office empire and there will be blood.
The stars call to us through the ages, with each and every one holding the promise of a future for humanity beyond Earth
No. They don't. Humans evolved to live here, on Planet Earth. Not on our own star, or on any other star, and humanity's future is right here where we have an entire planet we were built for... not on a foreign star.
How CRAZY would we think it of MONKEYS who want to live underwater?
A great deal like Mexicans unfortunately. Their system of government is riddled with corruption & nepotism while the people suffer high taxes and bad diets (diabetes kills a good %). Each atoll has their own monarchy with the federal stuff handled in Majuro. They get enough money from the US to make some real improvements but, funds that doesn't slip into someone's pocket seem to be used ineffectively. So while your statement was in jest, you are quite correct in many respects.
Here ya go: Cricket Flour from Amazon -- http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/B... I had it and it wasn't bad...kind of nutty if any flavor could be described. It mostly takes on the flavor of what its cooked with. One theater served a bunch of "cricket bars" at their Snowpiercer showing and didn't really advertise the ingredients till after the movie (they told you it was made with cricket flour & fruit). Hit Central America or Asia and you'll find a plethora of insect dishes. The key is to fry the buggers, if not, you get the wet dirt taste.
Thats fairly common with IT install projects. Between mission creep and idle time (usually caused by mission creep and work outage disputes) its surprising anything gets done on these contracts. Install projects take a special kind of insanity to manage.
And those '47%-ers'? The vast majority of them are in one of two categories: a) enlisted in the military, or b) retired
Sorry to burst your bubble but, the enlisted ranks must pay federal tax on their earnings. At their (below E-4) pay rate they most certainly fall into poverty level and most get everything back after filing their return. You should see what a Private makes, minimum wage would be nice.
Put both Clinton and Shatner on the ship and see who can score the most green chicks / moon maidens / Venusian Princesses. We might not be able to conquer the aliens through force but, we can out breed them with the above tag team. Of course wars then might be fought over who has the best hair.
It's deja vu all over again. In the other period of American history where corporate money had much undue influence, labor unions arose. The businesses hired thugs to terrorize and even execute labor union leaders.
And now its the labor union thugs doing terrorizing...for the people of course.
I don't know about anywhere else but, the hermit crabs out here aren't hurting for shells. The problem should be even worse as they are in competition with young coconut crabs too.
Sorry to whomever he was replying to but, I'm going to dig the hole a tad deeper...currently (going on about 10 years now) the US govenment has issued multiple grants for a Bandwidth study with "purpose" of extending reach into rural areas and improving overall speed (links to the posted FCC stuff). One of the largest "non-profit" organizations taking advantage of this grant provides data for around 20 states and is so closely tied to the telecom industry a circle jerk isn't possible.
My town paper http://www.statesman.com/business/survey-texas-companies-with-broadband-internet-outperform-those-1686241.html was nice enough to give them some coverage. See if you can spot the errors.
Dude, thats Riverside...mostly college kids who haven't the common sense gave a summer squash. Add to that the congestion at the IH-35 intersection as well as the Montopolis BS (ACC Riverside campus close to the AMD fab) and you have a major traffic problem. The city of Austin would be better served if they restricted downtown traffic to only bike, mass transit, & delivery so all the college kids could leave their cars at home. City council might actually do that if they get the light rail stuff approved. Austin street planning was never plotted for the growth its experiencing, ask some of the old residents they can tell you the city council was activly resisting growth for a long while.

...Backdoor Lover. Or at least it should be with this new partnership.
The author did say: "We need to rise to the occasion and meet this challenge." so your theory may be correct.

No, the Marshallese are mainly christian though they do keep to cultural norms similar to the Tongans & Samoans.

what this does to their Moonshot product or is that a dead tech by now?
And would Dutch Elm disease be reclassified as a computer virus or a buffer exploit?
Don't forget mouse condoms, those are v. important in a shared enviro!

I'm not sure about Australia, but in the US schools also spend tons on electronics, but can't afford textbooks
Have you tried http://www.ck12.org/student/ CK-12? Or even The Khan Academy...there are tons of professional quality resources out there.

now, now, no need to be rude! Or were you just channeling Kevin Cline from "A Fish Called Wanda"?

Hermit crabs will live in anything they can get their ass into and fully hide under. I've seen them "wear" bottle tops and in one case a plastic cup.
