These was none of this navel gazing when Sarah Palin's emails were stolen. In fact, the press crowdsourced reading them in their search for dirt on her. Why would this be any different for Hillary Clint..... Oh, party affiliation. Forgot. Carry on, then.
I had a gun safe with a fingerprint reader unlocking mechanism next to my bed at one time. When it worked, it was kind of cool. The problem is it turns out a lot of things affect the ability of the scanner to read fingerprints. For instance, humidity. So while the reader might work fine one day, on a drier day, it would not work at all. Or vice versa. This made the gun safe useless. If I needed to get in it in an emergency, I needed to get in it immediately. Being delayed a few minutes - sometimes having to go and get a washcloth to clean the scanner or whatever it took to make the lock mechanism open, was inconvenient. Being delayed in an emergency could prove fatal.
So I got a different gun safe, and I will never use biometric verification for anything involving firearms again.
I guess if I watch an NFL game outside of my market, the terrorists win.
DHS seized one of the places I used to catch my team's games, because...terrorism?
So I guess this means live streaming someone else's feed of free television is bad?
makes campaign promise she will never have to fulfill. Film at 11.:rolleyes:
Snowden should be pardoned, but this would only be credible coming from one of the two mainstream candidates.
I am an IBM customer, and I am trying to remember the last time I spoke to an American on the phone when calling IBM. Outside of the on-site technicians who physically replace broken parts, I was unaware IBM had American employees, and I figured it was only a matter of time before even they were H-1B-ed out of a job.
We are instructed to call 911 first and then notify security. We are a local government, with actual police officers providing security and an EMS station on our campus, but we get help on the way and then let the officers, know we have a situation so they can prepare to bypass our security measures and guide the paramedics to the location of the problem. It also allows a path to be cleared to expedite the movement of the paramedics into and out of the building, and allows the police to clear out any spectators who might gather at the scene of the problem.
Notifying security first is not unreasonable, but I think getting medical help rolling first is preferred.
I had an older model VW TDi. At the time, the only diesels you could get in the US were VWs and Mercedes. I asked a mechanic at the dealership why, and he told me a lot of diesels won't meet US standards for cleanliness, so they stay in Europe and Asia.
I wonder if VW gamed them to keep importing diesel vehicles - we diesel heads are a small, but cultish bunch of people. 45 mpg was pretty much my avg no running the AC, around 40 with the AC on. Just in case you were wondering.
And since people are misinformed, the increase in milage is more than offset by the price of the fuel. When I first got mine, diesel was cheaper than regular gas and it was a huge money saver, but once low-sulphur was mandated, diesel became more expensive than premium gas and it was a money loser.
by a cop: if you are at the point where you are shooting someone, you shoot to kill. Period. Center mass is where your vitals are, and it's a relatively easy target since you can't really move it around like your head. BTW, "less than lethal" has come to mean "I can use this with relative impunity."
The guy who I take my lawn mower to tells me the Ethanol gas is damaging lawn mower engines. Not sure if the newer ones are engineered to burn E-gas, but the older ones certainly aren't.
So you go out of your way to a marina to get unadulterated gas for your mowers.
I hope they keep making shuffles - great for wearing when you exercise. I can see losing the classic iPods - the cell phone makes them redundant, but until they make phones small enough to clip to your workout gear, there's a place for the shuffle.
so unless Jackson thinks HP should hire unqualified people just because
they are black or latino, he should probably focus his efforts earlier

Evidently, you are unfamiliar with our form of government: this project was the responsibility, solely, of the executive branch, and the President is already limited to two terms. Congress was not a part of the failed implementation.
The task was simple. Make a friggin website that takes user input and spits out insurance options. If this happened where I work, they'd fire the whole lot without question. Probably enact some kind of legal investigation as to where all the money went too.
If Congress can't handle a simple friggin website project, it's time to clean house and Enact term limits. Restructure the entire congressional seating process, and give people more control over who's buying the laws for us. It's time to change that whole mess.

For further reference, that is almost, but not quite, as much money as the federal government spends in two days.

Can the OPM or IRS get sued for their lax security?
This is why I don't let my servers get automatic updates. :-D

Please - the German word for "pedestrian" is Volkswagen.

The first thing all the security people tell you to do is turn off platform apps, and this site does not work without them. Nice.

He does.
doing what? Haven't most people left because there aren't enough jobs? You want to pay off your debts, charge people an exit tax.
The crappy cars teenagers had access to were destroyed by the Cash for Clunkers program.
