Imagine for a moment, King John *wasn't* a prick, and we *didn't* get the Magna Carta, and simply lived under arbitrary executive power?
We'd all be serfs. Modern society would not have happened. Russian history is a good place to look for arbitrary executive power. Contemporary Russia is heading that way too. Just about everything "modern" in Russian history was an import since arbitrary executive power tends to stifle everything.
Been there - done that - King John being an utter prick pushing his power to the limit led to Magna Carta and we don't need another one like him to teach us the lesson again.
This again? Where were you when this happened before to others? It was a systemic problem that resulted in Rice, Powell and a pile of others being part of the same sort of fuckup only in their cases the classified emails left the building and ended up on commercial mail servers - whoops! If you want to do something other than split hairs take a look at the Clinton foundation, Pfizers's dealings with them especially.
Stupid names and software go together - "powerpoint" sounds nothing like a slideshow presentation and there are many with worse names. At a guess what do you think "ProMAX R5000" is about?
Besides that stupidity, they only had 1 computer with Internet access, on a desk in a common area.
There was that going on at an electricity company I was working for in 1996 - for "quality" reasons (everything was for "quality" reasons) there was only one machine with WEB access on a desk in a common area and a booking sheet to use it. As for NET access, we had email, and in those days ftpmail was a thing so cunning employees with email only access could send requests to an ftpmail server out on the net to email web pages, http downloads or ftp downloads. Attachment size limits were set to be very large back then.
Libreoffice has more people working on it. So it's just openoffice with a lot of patches and improvements that were implemented from the long list that accumulated in the years when openoffice was mostly idle before the fork. In my workplace we jumped from a very old version of openoffice to the current libreoffice of the time because they added back in a feature that had been missing for more than three years (relating to seamless pasting of new images of identical sizes into presentations for reuse).
"Tis what it 'tis about and not arson on federal property or arming ladies against drones. I really do not get this shit of pretending the founding fathers are idiots just to make a fuss about a right you already have and more from just being a citizen.
Thank you for the link. What I mean is having to do subsequent forging on the powdered metal parts after fabrication. If that can be avoided (and I doubt it can as yet - even laser sintering leaves a bit of porosity) than that could be a huge cost saving on current methods. It's a huge deal because these materials are very difficult to work.
The "liberator" (what an attention seeking manipulative prick choosing a name like that) stunt of a "gun" is more or less a small grenade shaped like a gun since ABS plastic is not as strong as many types of wood. It's impractical and an exercise in gaining attention and making regulators nervous in the quest for fame at the cost of fucking things up for everyone else. You could make a better gun with hand tools after a trip to your local hardware and a week or so learning how to use hand tools.
First the obvious Dropbox hassles, next the obvious single signon hassles and now this.
A while ago a popular VM hosting application used to tell everyone on a splash screen on startup that Virtual Machines are not a security feature. If you want security you use something designed for it - chroot, zones, "containers" - plenty of choice.
OneLogin played it, used shitty cards (like everyone else) and got unlucky and lost
Not unlucky, their very product showed that they had some ideas about security that were not very good. It's a shortcut that trades off convenience for security. Convenience won this time and the thief didn't have to worry about dealing with any of that pesky security.
A related scam is "Hey, Bob, I'm in China, and this fantastic merger opportunity came up. It is absolutely imperative you keep this completely quiet, and tell NO ONE about it! The lawyer who is handling this will be contacting you in a separate email." This scam can go for hundreds of thousands or even millions.
There is a trend in Australia to spin off former government owned operations into semi-private "businesses" (telcos, power generators etc) and It seems that just about every one of them "fell" for something like this to the point where it's probably really a way for the new CEO to funnel money out of the org then put it the laundered kickback their own pockets. Telstra had the biggest writedowns from that sort of Chinese investment but there have been many,many others all done within the first few weeks of "private" operation - to the point where it looks deliberate. Would you pay a few hundred million for ringtones the seller doesn't have rights to? Whoops!
I would be interested in a link to that. It seems a bit unlikely to 3D print that to completion - just as the 3D printed ABS "guns" do not include barrels.
Something without the current secondary steps such as hot isostatic pressing (as with engine parts for a current Boeing jet) - which is really an update of old fashioned forging. Sintered powder parts are full of holes which really sucks for a lot of applications, so for those applications you do something later to remove the holes.
The dream of 3D printing is to put powder in and get a part out without any other steps. Sometimes that's fine and sometimes that's either no good enough or the contortions required to avoid secondary steps just for the sake of it are not worth it.
Security is easy to do when people take it seriously. When they do not it is very hard to enforce. 1992 - steel mill - execs got real time info of what was happening on the line (via cool graphical displays on Amigas) but there was an air gap between the monitoring network and ALL of the control systems. The only way to breach that gap, by design, was to speak to a human being. Today - all kinds of shit on networks and only incompatibility saves control systems from sinking into a malware swamp.
Is there anyone who uses the Internet that has NOT been affected by a malicious hack?
Plenty, unless you count failed attacks that are the persistent background noise of the net. Dropbox however have been exceptionally, indeed hilariously incompetent with security at times - which makes them "special". For some time people were treating it as a high speed bittorrent replacement - if you knew the hash and filename of somebody else's file you could get it from dropbox. So you could go to the pirate bay, find the latest movie rip, add the details to Dropbox and it was yours with the next sync. More seriously there were incidents like the one where you could get access to somebody else's account with their username without knowing the password - that was only for about a day but still - WTF? There's a long list of other stuff such as the GUI telling you it had stopped sharing to others but the syncing still happening. It started off as a hack and growth was seen as far more important than even the basics of web/net security.
I suppose with a sig like yours I really should expect a post like that. Yes, yes - right to revolt, commit arson on federal property and a million other things instead of WHAT IT ACTUALLY SAYS - how fucking convenient.
Youngman said she believed in 2nd Amendment rights
That's one of the truly funny things about this. As a person over 45, and being a woman, the second amendment does not apply to her at all - she's excluded twice. When are you people going to wake up that your gun rights are there because they were not taken away and that the second amendment has nothing at all to do with it?

I'd say you were also stopped by an upbringing that wasn't completely worthless and didn't turn you into a sociopath.
