Let's talk about a punishment fitting for the perpetrators. I'd like to see something involving chainsaws and great white sharks. And I'm not talking about "Sharknado VII: Mutant Ax Men Sharks".
Thanks! I love the "This is what garlic looks like" picture:-) How can anyone not know this? My wife has IBS, SIBO and endometriosis, so we're well aware of curcuminoids, which sounds like some kind of alien life-form from Star Trek: "We are the Curcuminoids. Prepare to be Adwords-sorbed. It is the will of Land 'O Roo"
Or perhaps we have not reached the pinnacle of ultimate medical knowledge. As they say, practicing medicine. Today's gospel is tomorrow's heresy is next year's gospel. And don't confuse probiotics with homeopathics, aka placebos.
The human GI tract is well studied and documented but watch out if you ever get an intestinal parasite or disorder.
Earlier this year I was infected with Cryptosporidium. My doctor tried a couple different treatments that seemed to work then didn't. I was basically a research project for something that you would think is pretty well understood. Let me tell you; it sucked. After 6 weeks of puking and diarrhea, sometimes almost simultaneously, pictures on request, I had lost 25 lbs. The doctor prescribed Metronidazole. This became a case of the treatment almost being worse than the disease. It got rid of the crypto but drastically increased my reaction to niacin and had other nasty effects. My farts smell chemically toxic. Several months later, my resting heart rate is 10 beats higher than before the crypto and Metro. Nobody has an explanation for that. Probiotics fixed the fart problem. All my doc can say is that the gut is a mystery.
Sometimes they say, "I just laid the most wonderful egg, I'm so happy I laid this egg, it is the best egg ever because I laid it."
When I had chickens that was pretty much the gist of the daily conversation. "I will use the greatest rooster. I know the best roosters", "This will be the greatest egg ever. Ever." , "We will make great nests, we will save feed, we will come up with barnyard care plans that will be phenomenal — phenomenal,". "We’re going to get rid of those turkey gangs so fast your head will spin,”, "I will be the greatest bird pooper that God ever created".
The whole flock hit the road a couple years ago. Last I saw they were headed east.
I work for one of those companies in that list and have been a part of an on-site visit by the foreign government entities. Its done in a VERY controlled manner.
Under the conditions you describe I can see how it would be difficult to duplicate the source code, or glean much in the way of useful information
to ensure foreign spy agencies have not hidden any "backdoors" that would allow them to burrow into Russian systems.
. Personally, I couldn't sit down, scan over 1 million lines of code and spot any backdoors, but somebody obviously can.
I didn't catch where the reviews you were part of were conducted. The article says reviews were done in a "clean room" and mentions Echelon, a Moscow-based technology testing company. Normally I'd be a little skeptical, but I guess when Echelon says "clean" they really mean it.

Hang on a sec, someone on the phone wants to sell me a bridge in St. Petersburg for a really reasonable price. I can't let this offer pass.
Western technology companies, including Cisco, IBM and SAP, are acceding to demands by concerned citizens in many countries for access to closely guarded product security secrets
Weird that the companies value making a buck today over the possibility that a hostile foreign power could undermine the security of their products tomorrow. I see it as these companies throwing everyone who depends on these systems under the bus.
I'm afraid that we're living in a new age where evil is admired and illegal activity is spun as creative problem solving.
He's got the infrastructure to do what our duly elected "representatives" want to be illegal for everyone but themselves. I can see a public finger-wagging then a very lucrative job offer from the *.* Nat'l Committee (fill in your favorite party).
Alternatively, a job with the CIA and unleash his system on the Russians. How'd ya like them apples vladimir.
If it takes 10 days to decrypt the data, wouldn't it have taken at least that long to encrypt it? So:
1. Didn't any of the Nayana admins notice any unusual activity? I'm guessing not, given the breadth and depth of their other server configuration shortcomings.
2. Didn't any of the customers notice their data disappearing?
3. If a new file is added to the system at this point will it be encrypted? If an existing encrypted PDF file is renamed with an extension/type NOT in the encryption type list, will it get decrypted?
In my refrigerator, it would have to negotiate for shelf space with the mary jane yogurt left over from Jerry Garcia's memorial service. I just can't bear to throw that out, ya know? It might get slimed by the bag of shredded cabbage that's just oozing everywhere. That has a "best if eaten before" date from the Bush years. HAW that is. There's a package of bacon I've kept as a momento of my college years. One of these days I'll have to throw that out and do penance for wasting perfectly good bacon.
I've compressed 27 years of 401K retirement fund down to something that fits comfortably into a coin purse with room left over for a couple fentanyls. I wish investing was as easy as ingesting.
I say let Donnie tweet. He's fulfilling his destiny, plus doing the only stuff he's good at -- shameless self-aggrandizement, fanning the flames of hatred, intolerance and fear. and demonstrating an awesome ability to misdirect the limited attention of the American public. He is the reincarnation of PT Barnum.
Is it harming his presidency? I don't know. Twitter has nothing to do with this -- it's Trump's own ability to shoot himself in the foot then cut off someone else's leg & keep on dancing. Is he damaging the office and image of the POTUS? Possibly. More than Bill Clinton did? Tough call. More will be revealed. Is he making America look like a bunch of feuding siblings? I would argue that non-conciliatory congressional cliques like the Freedom Caucus and Tea Partiers have already driven a wedge between Americans and demonstrated that hatred, intolerance, lack of compassion and disrespect is the American social contract of the future. The governed have take up these arms to attack friends, neighbors and family. Is Trump imperiling national security? Sure seems like it from here, But again, he's just doing what he's good at. Let him be. America will be great -- a great bonfire. Trumps just pouring on the gas.
Your Horoscope for today, June 6, 2017: Procyon - the dipstick
Are you ready for a fresh start on a project that once spanked you Procyon? You should be because Taurus the Bull is in Uranus. I sense your inherent level of batshittastic inspiration is peaking. You might find yourself in the mood to color-code your STD medications. And don't be afraid to wave fake plastic handguns at police officers -- you are invincible today!
I can tell we're in a strange new world when someone has to explain to a technical audience how magnetic recording works. I grew up playing with my dads's tape recorder. I ended up in the disc drive biz and spent 30+ years watching domains get smaller and closer together. Everyone just knew how it worked. I wonder how many tech-savvy slashdotters have seen a 3 1/2 floppy drive or a cassette tape outside of a museum.
Run along kids. The old man is starting to mumble and drool on himself.
I'm a visually oriented person. For big-picture I can digest flowcharts and data diagrams easier than textual representations. I routinely use Visio. In the MSDOS days I used Interactive EasyFlow from HavenTree of Canada. The copyright notice / license agreement was worth the price of admission.

Law enforcement is not a service for the people. Its main task is to keep the population in check.
The job of the police is to draw chalk lines around the bodies.

Oh well, it was a good theory while it lasted.

If someone wants to pay a lot less in taxes, they can hide their wealth in off-shore accounts. Paying less in taxes makes them smart.
... It did exactly what it was supposed to do ...
We got the government we deserve. Sad. Woo-hoo for the twitter nuclear option! Sic-em donnie!

As long as it's stored under a pyramid and treated with toenail fungus lasers, it ain't woo-woo. At least that's what I read on the internet thing.

Ok mr never-makes-a-typo. "self-immolated".
What can I say. Chrome spell-checker didn't complain.
Never mind. They had one but it self-emolated.

Call me Mr. Positive Thinking and assume someone will use a flying car to do a drive-by. Do they get away with it?
That's a good one. I was going to suggest a Soylent Green reference.
