It's funny how much the Tower of Babel looks like every other ziggurat (tell) ever dug up in the Middle East. Oh wait....
When the fuck will people grow up and realize that not every city unearthed with breached walls is Jericho, not every cross dug up is the True Cross, not every Roman spear is the Dolourous Lance, not every Babylonian leader is King Nebuchadnezzar, and not every old cup is the Holy Grail? It's awesome enough that there is an old Babylonian cuneiform tablet without it also fitting into Biblical narrative.
This is precisely the answer I was going to give. Modern IT needs to integrate its support structure into other departments, not separate it. If I ran a business, I would simply have an Information Security Department and not hire anyone that could not manage their own computer to the ISD's specifications.
Ummm, no. China and India have some of the highest PER CAPITA traffic fatalities in the world for non-African countries. I also suspect these both countries are rather underreporting (particularly China) and with deaths per capita likely to grow as infrastructure improves.
These are bicycle cultures where people follow bicycle rules, because in their minds they still only perceive the likelihood of bicycle damage.
There aren't even seatbelts in many cars. Physics still applies, even in China.
Bring in consultants to do a Network Security Assessment. Tell them what they will find. Use other people to deliver the bad news and refer to their reports when you want something.
I can tell you exactly what happened. There were two boxes next to the copier, one which was for the "special needs" children in school, and the other for materials to be shredded. Someone dumped some papers with PII into the "special need" children box when they should have gone into the shred box. Then, more documents without PII were dumped into the "special need" children box. When the school came calling for paper as they do once a month, the paralegal grabbed the "special need" children box and gave it to the school, giving the documents a cursory glance.
More than likely, the arrogant lawyer who will just dump his papers wherever because he's too busy to actually pay attention is the culprit. The poor paralegal will get the shaft, the "special need" children box will get removed, and we will all move on feeling wiser - except the "special need" children, who no longer will get paper either with or without PII.
Hither came the Portable Optical Drive, black cased, laser eyed, CD loaded, a ripper, a reader, with gigantic data capacity and gigantic IO, to store the information of the Earth on its removable media.
Henry Kissinger and Madeleine Albright. These former Secretary of States two have a better perception of world affairs and how the US political landscape affects world affairs than any two other individuals in the world. Further, they often hold contrary views allowing the discriminating reader a greater understanding of American politics.
Nonsense. It was not valid and even a waste of money.
British sailing Man-of-Wars would be out of contact with land for months at a time. American Whalers reported being at sea for three years in pursuit of the South Sea sperm whales. Those men did perfectly fine. These ships sometimes had hundreds of people and the men did not go bat shit insane.
No, there is far too much molly-coddling and concern for people's feelings in these matters. Get a small group of professional men together and Mars will be easily visited. If we as humans put our minds to it - colonized.
Or until you leave the country. I know a couple that intends to leave for Romania as soon as they graduate. They'll have accumulated a little shy of 1 million dollars in student loans.
Yes, it is necessary. The world decided some time ago that "I was only following orders" does not comprise a valid defense. Your attempt to derail by Godwinning this argument does not mean that the argument is not valid. People who support a corrupt government by doing bad things are bad because they did bad things, not because they supported a corrupt government. All TSA employees that have gate raped people should be charged with harassment and other crimes. They knew what they were doing was wrong and they chose to do it anyway.
Considering that Dr. King's family treats his speeches in the same way that Disney treats the mouse, then yes, it would seem that the Civil Rights movement in the 50's and 60's really was just a very effective viral advertizing campaign.
How is this different from Steam Boat Willy? Both are important to culture, but both are unavailable in the public domain. Intellectual property laws in this country have become obscene. It is time to put an end to century laws and go back to a sensible two generation intellectual property right ownership (38 years).
I still have not heard any definitive proof that it was not a large about conventional explosives. There are many examples of conventional explosions large enough in the past, such as the Texas City explosion or the Lochnagar mine during WWI.
Apple has always required Jobs. This is precisely because of this Chairman Mao nonsense.
The market is not practical. It has not priced into Apple stock that that Apple is only two years away from not mattering. Consumer goods cannot indefinitely sustain a computer business, particularly as the consumer goods are marketed so heavily with 'cool'.
Jobs' purpose at Apple was to distract from this. He caused the market to pay attention to the sizzle; to distract serious men from the lack of steak. He did it well.
Thanks for all the insightful posts and for all the hotgrits and the insensitive clods. Without you, the seachange in social sites would have been so different and without the anonymous coward, it would have been more like Facebook sooner; that is to say in a word, bad . Thanks even for the GNAA. It won't be the same/. without you.
So because another, less efficient, product can be used for evil, we might as well allow our own, more efficient, product to be used for evil? That does not follow. All humans have an unalienable responsibility to not do evil, even Cisco. If humans choose to violate this responsibility, they should be sued by individuals or prosecuted by the state.

I thought about adding something to that effect, but I like the way you wrote it better than I was able to frame the statement.

The magnetic field structure of the galaxy pales in comparison to the power of the Slashdot Effect.

There isn't much need for cotton spinners or candlemakers any more either. Are we to mourn those jobs as well?

Whither the Portable Optical Drive? FTFY.

Well, as Europeans are the descendants of Gog and Magog, they can hardly be expected to rule themselves.

I think the Africans might disagree with you.

Way way too far down in the comment section. A proper troll has to be timely and witty. You fail both of these requirements.
Which is funny, because Big Brother in Illinois is very much anti-shotgun.
You insensitive clod, I use the IBM Model M! It's the best keyboard for typing AND hitting people!!
