Of you find a nice suitable existing building. The floor our data center is on was considered a nuclear fallout shelter. The building is all steel and concrete. A drunk drive might manage to scratch the outside.
I would love a building like that but they can be hard to find.
He should have had his DR Plan in place rather than scrambling after his outage.
The kind of company that locates next to a beauty salon and has their office and their servers in that same building can't afford a DR Plan. They might have off-site tapes but that's about it.
It's believed the CIA was abducting people from around the world and torturing them at secret camps. This was reported by all major news networks in Europe not long ago and it made the news because it included the abduction of European citizens from the soil of the home countries. It's unlikely they just stopped doing this.
I would not state with confidence that the NSA doesn't resort to torture when they feel it will meet their needs best.
They don't do this. I'm sorry but the NSA just isn't interested in you, your real estate agent, your mechanic, or his daughter. Don't be stupid people, use your brains.
They are interested in who the suspect associates with, that's what the 3 hops are about. 3 hops from anyone will include a massive number of innocent people. Also don't forget the the starting point of these 3 hops are suspects, not convicted criminals, and nobody knows what causes the NSA to consider someone a suspect.
To me, it was like watching someone jerk of while insulting everyone around as idiot.
That's my experience of most network admins in big companies. They mostly come across as a bit OpenBSD-mailing-list if you see what I mean. They are defensive as hell, maybe their jobs make them that way.
I got in some nasty arguments with them over innocent jokes that Unix or Windows admins would have just laughed off.
After the PATRIOT act passed, one of the first attempted invocations was by Texas state Republicans attempting to track down Democratic members of their state congress who'd left the state in order to prevent the state senate and house from reaching quorum (They had to leave the state because otherwise Texas law enforcement personnel could compel them forcibly to return to the capitol).
Politicians will always misuse broad authority if given half a chance to do so.
I don't know about you, comrade, but I sometimes wonder what's going on in this country.
That seems reasonable to me. Our president isn't going to waste his time sending out alerts for every missing child. If he uses this system you know it's going to be at least a 9/11 scale situation.
You seem to be mixing your arguments up. The Constitution controls the government's actions, not individuals. While you and I certainly agree that slave ownership by anyone at all should be illegal, that wasn't a constitutional issue.
The government makes and enforces the laws. The same government that claims all men are equal under god willfully allowed apartheid and slavery because it never believed in what it claimed to believe in.
Your argument is that if you don't believe in something it's fine to sit, watch, and do nothing, as others you can influence do that thing.
That has nothing to do with anything. The U.S. government was happy to allow its citizens to own slaves therefore disproving that it believed in the part about all men being equal under god.
There are some very nice places in eastern Europe and some very nasty places in America. Eastern Europe isn't the communist era hell-whole some people seem to think it is.
Everyone knows what the NSA is about, but Snowden takes the operational details of the programs and gives them the Russians and Chinese.
Who is this 'everyone'? Because it sure didn't include me. I had no idea the NSA was trolling the whole internet or had cooperation from major IT giants. I didn't know they were spying on their own allies and friends. I didn't know GCHQ was collecting every scrap of traffic they could get their paws on and searching it for god knows what. I don't believe they are looking for terrorists because terrorists don't fight some technological war, they use disposable calling cards, disposable mobiles, cash, and improvised weapons.
So what the hell are the NSA and GCHQ looking for? Nothing is my guess, it's just military morons with a huge budget and no oversight. that budget should be reallocated where it might do some good, like education or paying down the national debt.
How the leader of one of the most warmongering nations on Earth got awarded a Nobel Peace Prize is beyond me.
They gave it to Obama because he wasn't Bush. They had the idea that because Obama wasn't Bush he would behave differently and step back on the warmongering.
So the Nobel Peace Prize = "I HATE AMERICA" Prize.
Not really. It's meant to be a prize for making the world more peaceful. Giving it to Obama was nuts, and it's now not clear if this prize has any point any more.

Anything they don't know exists.
Anything that has never been digital.
Thanks for explaining.

Please tell me you are joking?
You do know that weather alerts and amber alerts can be turned off, but not alerts sent out by the President of the United States, right?
I don't know about you, comrade, but I sometimes wonder what's going on in this country.
That seems reasonable to me. Our president isn't going to waste his time sending out alerts for every missing child. If he uses this system you know it's going to be at least a 9/11 scale situation.
Because you're either 16, or you're a fucking moron.
Because you think spending billions on looking for ghosts when your national debt is way out of control makes sense?

The previous name was "Unicycling Gorilla".
It's not like they were going for the business corporate naming scheme anyway.
No, they were naming them after Ballmer. Only he can't unicycle.
Is this funny or is Linus cracking up?
Is he going to codename kernel version 4 "New Technology" and have it blue screen every 30 minutes?
The U..S. government never owned any slaves.
That has nothing to do with anything. The U.S. government was happy to allow its citizens to own slaves therefore disproving that it believed in the part about all men being equal under god.
Indeed, it says "all men" not "all men holding citizenship".
It says "all men" but what it meant was "All white citizens of the US".
There are some very nice places in eastern Europe and some very nasty places in America. Eastern Europe isn't the communist era hell-whole some people seem to think it is.
Yes. Forgetfulness.
The Nobel Peace Prize should not be news anymore, it doesn't deserve the respect people treat it with.
Everyone knows what the NSA is about, but Snowden takes the operational details of the programs and gives them the Russians and Chinese.

We killed the civilians because it was "Not technically illegal".
You Americans want to worry about what's legal under your laws less and what's moral more.
You are missing the massive difference between legal and right. In Nazi Germany it was legal to kill Jews if you were employed to do that.
If all you care about is what's legal what do you think your country is turning into?
Has the Peace Prize ever been stripped from someone due to later revelations?
There is a first time for everything.
He lied his ass off to get elected you mean? Just like every other elected politician.
How the leader of one of the most warmongering nations on Earth got awarded a Nobel Peace Prize is beyond me.
They gave it to Obama because he wasn't Bush. They had the idea that because Obama wasn't Bush he would behave differently and step back on the warmongering.
Turns out they were wrong.

Is this the same bill of rights that was ratified in 1791?
Which would be before Lincoln abolished slavery in 1863?
Therefore it could not have covered slaves. 'Men' in the context of the bill of rights was only ever intended to cover white US citizens.
