Not even some of Microsofts own services (Outlook web mail for example) works well with IE11 - they work with Opera or Firefox though, so something is broken in IE11.
Many major companies also rely heavily on older versions of IE and outright prohibits other than the approved version through scripts instead of making sure that they are conformant with web standards using HTML and CSS validators. Of course - if there's Javascript involved then it's necessary to test with more than one browser since there's no good Javascript validator around ensuring portable code.
Measuring the vibrations of windows or other items was used already 40 to 50 years ago by spy agencies, so I wonder if this isn't something that has been re-discovered?
Except that the railroads already are in place, goes east-south while most tolls are on north-south, so the traffic will be the same as before, it won't attract more people to use the railroads since there aren't more people available to use it.
I agree - unless something floats up that is outright criminal to the extent of prison time just leave it alone.
If you find something that's severely incriminating, look for a new job.
Being a sysadmin means that you have extreme rights and abilities to do stuff, but you shall also have the ability to keep your mouth shut. It's better to keep a distance than to end up on the wrong side in a conflict or legal proceeding.
My experience is that by using large vendor systems like Oracle and SAP is just a good way to waste money without getting any benefits. Those systems are in general not very well designed, and the money paid is used for marketing, not application development.
That would only work if one of the end points are compromised, so by leaving out a third party CA you decrease the sensitive points from three to two. It of course requires the end point owners to have a correct key handling and key exchange, but that is no different from having a CA.
The only time a CA is useful is if the two communicating parts don't know each other, but in the matter of a bank the person is already a customer and therefore a key exchange can be done at a bank office.
I saw those as a wrap-up, not necessarily a cash-in.
They are still good to read. Especially the unforseen result of the laws of robotics causing alien worlds to be eradicated because the inhabitants weren't human. What if aliens have the same approach? Humans are then seen as beings of lesser value.
I would say that it is also a study on behavior patterns applicable to humans. When exposed to the unknown panic can occur.
Nightfall is a typical Science Fiction story that reflects sociology in a fictional setting - which means that the reader will have less prejudice of what's right and what's wrong.
No, but the CA can provide a certificate suitable for a man in the middle attack that is masking itself as the real server if the CA is compromised.
That's the weakness with the existing system of public certificate authorities. There are three points that can be compromised instead of two as soon as you have a public CA signing the certificates.
For internal servers the companies often set up their own CA server and distribute the root cert to the clients, so only a few companies will be affected.

I'd take a stable OS like OpenVMS then.
If you can make IE work that is - today it doesn't even work well with M$ services.

Datacenters are all about saving money as much as possible, so the re-use of hard disks and wiping/destruction of them is non-existent.
Essentially this means that the data center owner takes a calculated risk that no sensitive data will be misused by another customer.
Now this knowledge is out so we can expect front-ends for black hat hackers to purchase services at random trying to poach data.
The end result will be that the price of "cloud" services will go up rendering them possibly as expensive as hosting the services yourself.
I would still say that it's the same basic principle just another method.
The method is the same, it's just a different tool involved on the way.
It's enough to measure the image of an object, you don't need to record it first and you actually don't need a laser either, even though it may help.
To follow up, look at the Electromax Laser Listening Systems.

A political monument.

You are at least lucky enough to have tolls on the tunnel/bridge built. Here we have tolls on roads to build a railway tunnel.
Meanwhile the old one is still there blocking the path.
I don't think that they have much choice in this case but to fix the machine in place.
I would like to see it under ARM-64 too!
Since VMS was my first real operating system (MS-DOS doesn't count since it's a program loader rather than an OS) I see this as good news.
VMS is actually a lot easier to use for a complete beginner than *Nix, even though it has some quirks.

This is only newsworthy because it was a big building with a single point of failure.
What we all can learn is to avoid single.points of failure in large systems.

They get enough to be able to provide a man in the middle attack.
Assuming the CA can be trusted.
I'm not trusting the CAs that exist to not reveal key data to NSA or other organization.
For internal servers the companies often set up their own CA server and distribute the root cert to the clients, so only a few companies will be affected.
At least snail mail can serve as fuel for heating during the long winter nights.
