Of course, if they were really trying to protect their people, they could say that "Previously classified information that has been released to public news organizations and made publicly available may be accessed by military personnel with no repercussions." Do they really want their own personnel to be less informed than the general public? It's not like preventing soldiers from reading the information is going to keep it out of the hands of the "enemy".
Classification authority stems from Presidential Executive Order. The Army (or any other Government component) can not counter that.
...
That said... I agree; the POTUS should make that change.
More the shame that we haven't elected a slashdotter as President.
With all due deference to a slashdotter with a 3 digit UID, I'd like to point out the danger of your last statement.
Primarily, the risk is that your smaller, side-projects may indeed pan out to be your primary revenue stream in the business environment of the future. But the consolidation affect is at least as dangerous. The conclusions that can be drawn by a talented analysts from the sum total of your small, seemingly insignificant data leaks can be staggeringly powerful. And if you think that your company is not worth the time of a talented analyst, then you may not have been paying attention to the cultural make-up of our current competitors in the world today. -- They take the time to analyze everything they can.
Now, I don't want to go off on a rant... but I did want to throw that out.
...
That said... Sure. Holiday pics fit nicely into a cloud.
I still have one of those, - I even still have the outer case (and docs) for it.
I never did have any disk drives for it; I had to reenter the code every time I turned it on.
...
I've always credited it (we call it Blinky, BTW... since that's all it does) with my career in IT. - My dad was the first guy in the neighborhood with an actual computer and I was writing assembler code in 1978. I learned two things:1) digital processing was the wave of the future, and 2) I didn't want to be a programmer (I'm a network security engineer). - But of course, if you've ever done assembler code by switching 8 toggles up and down to form Hex instructions one-by-one, you'll understand.
I was keeping it purely for sentimental reasons... but if this guy builds a furver for it... maybe I finally get the infamous DotDotDot:
The post you are talking about was made by the staff in an intentional effort to be inflammatory in order to induce the hackers to post more content and (hopefully) reveal information that could be used to stop them.
That's in contrast to the normal day-to-day inflammatory crap they post in an attempt to be funny. - so I can see how you could get confused...
(wow... i would not have guessed when I woke up this morning that I'd be posting on slashdot in support of the staff of The Onion... what a weird day)
Sure... but that was implicitly addressed when they discussed the cost of REPEATED use. So this is a Pay (a lot) ONCE, vs a missile (or other ammunition based) system which is Pay (less, but still serious coin) EVERY time you shoot.
Not even that. - You forgot about the ribbon-switch. - You Duct-tape the ribbon, and then you only need the finger for a second. (1/3 of a second, actually)
The William Tell Overture will work for that purpose too. (the twice speed part, not he bikini-babe part)
Ever since they used it on the intro to The Lone Ranger, as the hero sped across the countryside on horseback, that song has run through my head whenever I'm in a hurry.
Although, I could probably use more bikini-babes in my life.... I'll have to try THAT one next time...
That doesn't TRULY stick unless you know the verses. - then it becomes the Tactical Nuclear Weapon of Head-songs...
Allow me to demonstrate
It's a small world after all, It's a small world after all, It's a small world after all, It's a small, small word.
It a world of laughter, a world of tears. It's a world of hope and a world of fears. There's so much that we share, and it's time we're aware. It's a small world after all.
It's a small world after all, It's a small world after all, It's a small world after all, It's a small, small word.
Actually.... Nothing to rewire; modern weapon system are spec'd to be modular. As you mentioned, they are expected to outlive the technology of any given component... so the comm's gear should be easily replaceable by upgrades stuff in the future.
As of the idiot at WIRED... Look a the name... How can you say that he doesn't have an axe to grind? It's probably a pseudonym for that express purpose!
Recent history shows he doesn't have to resign early to affect his succession. If you were watching in 2005 you would know that Pope John Paul II did exactly that and basically put him (the current Pope) into office as his hand-picked successor. Look at nearly any picture of the previous Pope in the last few years of his life and you're see the the man who became Benidict XVI in the same frame.
Not like this is any big scandal. - It's totally natural to be concerned about who takes over when you leave.
AND, leaders (religious, political or even corporate) selecting others who are like minded is called "Organizational Consistency" and is not a ""bad word"" in most places.
The portion of the recoil energy that the plastic absorbed caused it to crack. The job of the lower receiver is to hold all of the other pieces in proper alignment so they can connect properly to each other. Once the plastic failed, the other pieces fell apart.
It took 6 impacts before the material failed- Just like a walnut that you hit with a hammer to get at the food; the first hit might be absorbed, but even if you're not swinging brittle shell material will develop cracks and eventually the shell will collapse into tiny bits allowing you access to what's inside.
In this case, "what's inside" are the internal parts of the weapon, and having access to them is not what you want.
All of the high-stress areas are also in the UPPER receiver. If the upper receiver, chamber, barrel, bolt-face, cam-lock, and main spring are all from "typically manufactured" steel and aluminum parts, then using this weapon is not any more dangerous than firing a mass-produced AR. - Just less reliable.
If Apple, or any ANDROID manufacturer would just make a modern phone without a camera, the DoD (at the very least) would drop blackberry like a red-hot potato. RIM would be finished faster that you could turn around.
It's a shame that NOBODY in those companies has figured that out yet.
We've known for 40 years what comes from Mars and shakes the earth...
It's the "Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator".
Marvin has been searching for YEARS for that darned thing; ever since Buggs was able to get it away from him. Let's hope that he's not looking at the news today.
I was watching a documentary about Mt St Hellens and they mentioned that due to the shape of the mountain (pre-incident) it was called "The Mt Fuji of North America". - They went on to describe why the shape of the mountain contributed to the particular way in which St Hellens went.
Ever since then, I was wondering why Japanese scientist weren't worried about Fuji. - Now I know: They ARE worried.

Sadly, that won't prevent people from trying to sue somebody, these days...
Might I humbly suggest that you have a quick look at my slashdot signature that appears below?

It's not so bad when you put it into context.
Just a suggestion, - check the WayBack(tm) machine for the interview of Alton Brown (of Good Eats fame).
Not even that. - You forgot about the ribbon-switch. - You Duct-tape the ribbon, and then you only need the finger for a second. (1/3 of a second, actually)
I'll just have to ""Friend"" you instead...

That said... It's not a relevant issue here. Manning is not a war hero. He is a traitor.

This isn't rocket science; pick one or the other.
