It's almost like a day of judgment, isn't it? We are judging ourselves with the truth, head on.
I could see these leaks causing another global economic collapse. This, along with already fragile diplomatic relations around the world could spark WW III. It's frightening to think about. But honestly, I'm I really off base here?
Depends. Perhaps not what the US Feds want, but other nations might make his execution/assassination as much of a spectacle as possible. The point is being so transparently tyrannical, that it will instill fear into any would-be wannabe following in his footsteps. It's a message echoing something to the effect of "No matter who or where you are, we will project the full force and might of our government to kill you. Even in front of your family in full uniform. You cannot hide, and we take pride in it.".
Never underestimate the power of a 50cal sniper rifle or even a cruise missile. The latter would send the message in a more dramatic tone.
I admit, I got this one wrong. I thought the first "Info War" would be between corporations and the international espionage tactics that they engaged in. Who knows, may that will be the 2nd Info War to come.
There is a concept called the Silver Cord. It's basically a metaphysical link between your physical body and the astral plane. Some call the astral plane a singularity of consciousness, God, and/or the spirit world. In short, your "spirit" doesn't live in your brain. Rather, your brain is controlled from the astral plane via the Silver Cord. In short, we are all puppet masters.
You pay more, but the offerings from Trend Micro have been top notch as far as I'm concerned. From detection, protection, to customer support, I couldn't be more happy.
Minor gripe. Trend Micro upgraded their Worry Free suite to version 7. Six was always good. Only a few service packs and updates needed now and then. Seven OTOH seems to be a rushed product.
Incompetent people create problems, they don't fix anything that matters. They will however go after the low hanging fruit just to make it look as though they're doing something.
Notifications help, but I'm afraid security may have already been compromised at that point. For example, it drops in a key-logger and captured user credentials get uploaded someplace.
If you want to be really secure about your data, air gap the resources. Only trained staff with certified equipment may touch the standalone network. All data going in and being access must be logged and signed in blood (I suppose ink will suffice) by management.
I agree, but as someone who has to maintain many networks, I can't rely on the judgment of staff. Eventually, the odds catch up and you'll have the network compromised without protection.
I generally keep a network secure by the following.
1. User education: provide to staff a general outline and awareness of social engineering, fraud, and safe computing common sense.
2. Gateway anti-virus filtering at the gateway level such as firewall deep-packet inspection and content filtering.
3. Server anti-virus to protect file shares.
4. Desktop anti-virus to protect access to data and minimize extended downtime and prevent outbreaks.
5. Last but not least, apply OS and App security updates.
In all my years (15+) of using and administrating Anti-Virus software, not a single damn one of them can be reliable. They each have their own "personality" and hissyfits from time to time. I've seen Norton, McAfee (the worst), Trend Micro, Avast, AVG, Nod32, Kaspersky, and -yes- Even Microsoft Security Essentials cause problems with either the OS or 3rd party applications.
I recommend dealing with a major anti-virus vendor and dealing with the punches that get thrown your way. With all the new viruses and system permutations out there, I'm not shocked to here about these events as the happen.
Only one way to be sure I suppose. Sequence both forms of DNA and compare the two genomes. If the base genes are the same except for being arsenic or phosphorus based, you may have something in common where evolution took place. If not, and looks completely alien, could be a 2nd genesis of life.
Close, but not quite. It really comes down to what offsets what. If throughout the life of the solar panel, does it product enough renewable energy to offset the pollution from creating the solar panel to begin with? If the answer is "yes", then it's not much of an environmental issue... if at all.
I cry when people stop caring. Or, have stopped caring to the capacity that is necessary.
It's only when the system breaks down and become corrupt to the point it affects their lives, do they start doing something about it. But like any large system, it takes while to gather enough momentum for change to start working in the proper direction.
Apathy is a real killer of democracy, for it leaves a vacuum of power often filled by sycophantic psychopaths.
No, SCOTUS is doing exactly what it's supposed to be doing. It interpolates *existing* laws, it doesn't (or shouldn't) legislate from the bench. If you want the laws changed, write/speak to your congress (wo)man. FYI , we have three branches of government in the US. Legislative, Executive, and Judicial. Know their proper function please.
Both originals and their translated version can be published. I think the problem here is lack of US security and punishment in this country. If you pulled a stunt like that in China or Russia for leaking data, you would be executed for treason. That's the difference. They have an iron fist hold of the situation, we do not.
Finally, one last personal nitpick. What the hell does "wiki" have to do with anything? I think he threw that term in there to gain additional trust and ride the coattails of Wikipedia. There is nothing "wiki" about wikileaks in any way whatsoever.
I've always though "wiki" was from the word "wick". That is to say, a candle or lantern wick will absorb and consolidate a substance. Wikipedia absorbs and consolidates knowledge. Wikileaks absorbs and consolidates scandals for redistribution and consumption.
When they can no longer afford to pay for TV programming, that's when their attention span is available. Historically, revolutions happen when the economy goes to utter shit in such a short period of time. The housing market was the straw that broke this camel's back, but our debt based system was bound to fail sooner or later anyways.

To be fair, did they know this would happen? It's all hindsite 20/20. Just another lesson to be learned from the laws of unintended consequences. Let's learn from it and move on.
Everyone spies on everyone. It doesn't make it right, but it's an unwritten rule of global politics. Now if you want to be real transparent about it, make spying a non-international crime. Any nation who gets caught can't have it used against them in diplomacy. For example, two double-agents can pass information back and forth, but breaking and entering to obtain information solo would be a crime. It's up to the parent nation to secure said information. Call it the Spy Doctrine if you will.
One other thing, you still face punishment from your home country for being a double agent. Get caught, you might face execution depending on where you're from. Risky business indeed.

Now that AIDs is the primary target of those involved in infidelity and promiscuity, evolution might say otherwise.

Yes, they're crap. But getting a virus is worse. Pick your poison.

If they cross genetics from a eel to a jellyfish, you've got a water-bound Metroid. Leave it up to the Japanese to pull this one off.
