I meant to post this last night and never got around to it, but I was going to say, "Nah, it's the Nobel Peace Prize committee spinning out of control with regret!"
Just like every "investigation" where the ones doing the "investigating" are the same ones as (or good buddies of) the ones who were caught with their hands in the cookie jar. Just like a police dept. "internal investigation".
They could be child pornographers, and they would still find "nothing wrong".
So, you consider replacing fossil fuels with renewable and nuclear energy to be the moral equivalent of the Killing Fields
Yes, he does. And he is exactly right too. There is simply NO WAY to achieve pre-Industrial-Age levels of carbon dioxide emissions without killing off somewhere around 90% of the Earth's population, mostly through starvation and disease.
Sorry I don't have time to look it up right now, but if you'll do your research you'll find that the GP is dead-on.
On his third combat mission after the training, he dropped a Hellfire at the feet of a man who had just planted an IED in Iraq.
Oh, good going, dude... now this slimy terrorist gets to laze around all day in Paradise with his 72 virgins, and I'm stuck down here with my hand wrapped around my, uh, "joy" stick...
years - but in terms of managing, reporting on, and distributing updates to hundreds of desktops, there's nothing off the shelf for *nix that comes close
If everyone switches to linux, the malware writers will just give up and not exploit security holes in linux, right?
Actually-- yes, pretty much. A properly configured 'nix machine is much more difficult to exploit than a 'doze box. If everyone switched to Linux, you'd easily wipe out at least 80% of the malware writers, and probably closer to 98%.
Have you ever bothered to keep up on the security reports? Every month, Microsoft typically "patches" half a dozen "critical" (i.e., remote execution of arbitrary code) vulnerabilities, while the worst 'nix problem is typically something that can only be exploited while the attacker is standing on his head, drinking a glass of water, and whistling "Yankee Doodle".
I don't see how ANYTHING could be any kind of privacy breech. What the hell does "privacy hind end" mean, anyway?
Note that we're talking about Privacy's breech, not yours... had you said "breech privacy", it would at least make sense, but I still don't see how information about your computer has anything to do with the privacy of your buttocks...
Let's NOT ignore the fact that malware basically only infects Windows, and instead look at how we can kick Windows systems off of the Internet. That is much easier to do. And the moment malware formats the hard drive of a Windows system and installs 'nix in its place, it also stops being a threat
they stopped promoting from within for lower-level management, and started hiring clueless outsiders who didn't know a bit from a byte.
Micro$oft started becoming dominant in the networking space.
you didn't need a damn rinkydink-electrician's license just to string network cable.
my idiot boss outlawed all use of Firefox for "security" reasons.
IT decisions, affecting those of us who have to make that crap actually WORK, are made on the golf course without ever asking the worker bees what they think.
"... the State of Alabama is spending millions of dollars in federal stimulus money to combat Congress, a.k.a. the perfect weed, the killer weed, and the weed from another continent. A weed that 'evokes those old science-fiction movies in which clueless citizens ignore reports of an alien invasion.'
Congress (Imperialista corruptivus) is considered one of the 10 worst weeds in the world. 'It can take over farms and factories, ruining cops, destroying Native Americans, upsetting the economic system,' writes Berry. 'It is very difficult to kill.' But the weed is so resilient that you can't kill it with one election, you have to return two years later and do it again. Left unchecked, Pecot says 'it could spread all the way to Europe.'"

Yes, I agree that it is totally unethical and inappropriate to injure rats in the name of "research". They are supposed to use lawyers instead, because:
There is getting to be a shortage of rats;
Scientists sometimes form an emotional attachment to the rats; and
Slashdot Mirror
Maybe they're purposefully sending incorrect video feeds unencrypted
Yep. First thing I thought of. How many times has this old trick been used on Star Trek? I, for one, have lost count.
I think the Allies did a little of this in WWII also.
I sure hope there aren't any insurgents reading this....
Uh oh... O crap...

From TFA:

That question is answered in TFA.
Typical bullshit, indeed:

And I was under the impression that all that black ho's were good for, was for sucking stuff in that never can get out?
Well... that's what SOME people believe...
Lighten up, it was a JOKE!

Okay to say, "There, fixed that"?
Oh, hell yes. I remember the wiring closet that was adjacent to the women's room...
Oh, wait a minute. I thought you said Glory HOLES....
It was fun until...

I'm done reading. Moving on to the next story.

There, fixed that for you.
