Many large organizations still operate under the bad internet vs. good intranet principle.
What considering "the assumption that various parts of their systems have already been compromised" means is that you go away from that model.
There can be multiple levels, walls between various areas, zones according to task, etc. And the auditing system can be much more complex than a firewall.
Think of something like the "unusual activity" trigger software for your credit card. Low ranking security person reading a low level cable? -fine. Reading 10000 cables in one hour? very unusual.
The NSA know their stuff, I see this talk not as someone admitting that they are compromised, but as someone talking shop.
Correlation != Causation. This is basic guys, cmon
You are right, of course. It's not that Fox News makes people stupid, it's that stupid people watch Fox News.
Except, that they don't talk about uninformed, they talk about misinformed
It's not that the viewers have no information, they have wrong information. And if people claim to get their information from that particular source it stands to reason, that there is causation. -At least on a statistically relevant level. Not for each individual of course. A smoker with lung cancer could also have spent half of his live in his parents radon filled basement..
And the things they were asked are facts. Someones birthplace, when a law got passed, who initiated it, or the nationality of the 9/11 hijackers are just plain facts.
No, this is not a liberal rant. It is a civility/democracy rant. Sadly, politics and journalism has sunken to the point, where anything goes and fact checking is replaced with the pseudo-objectivity of he-said she-said. Fox, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, etc. are despicable, but so was Air America on the left.
Back when people didn't have the luxury of only buying the pretty bits at the supermarket, people basically ate the whole animal
They still do.
The difference is, traditionally people ate the good meat and turned the not-so-prime parts of exactly the same animal into dishes that -thanks to some creativity- made the rest of the meat tasty as well (at least for the locals). These dishes evolved into regional specialties.
Today, the prime meat is sold and the rest gets rendered, combined with the leftovers of another thousand animals, and processed to turn it into fatty, protein or gelatinous fillers. This mass than ends up in canned soups, soup base, in sausages, ready made dinners, or as natural flavoring added to anything else. - Or if everything else fails, you can always feed it back to the animals.
Now it turns out that, your government has allowed bee-killing pesticides. noone heard about it.
Yes, clothianidin is something people didn't knew. But just going to the hardware store I could point out half a dozen bee-killing insecticides. The hint: if the advertisement says something about killing 2000 different bugs, it probably kills bees.
One problem with insecticides is that they are too broad in their range, the other problem is however their use. Some states prohibit use of pyrethrins near lakes. But almost about anywhere can you buy attachments for your garden hose to treat the whole lawn.
All because the lawn has to be pristine, and as extension of our living room as bug free and uniform as a carpet. If one could change that view a lot fewer chemicals would end up in the environment.
I use pyrethrin around the house as a perimeter spray to keep ants out in the Spring. But I use it on the foundation wall and on the ground away from plants, especially flowering plants. To treat ants, one can wash it into the ground. I wouldn't use it on my lawn, if not for the bees, then at least not to kill all of the pavement ants and create a bug-wasteland that has room for other -more problematic- ants to move in.
Many plants contain insect deterrents and can be used for that. Then there are contact pesticides like soaps, diatomaceous earth, or (food grade) oils that aren't poisonous otherwise. And yes, some pesticides that kill beetles by introducing a (naturally occurring) disease would also be labeled organic.
...but they had my address, my age, and the property value of my house. As well as my spouse and inlaws as "possible connections"
I block everything, don't share things online, am not on facebook, and when i participate somewhere I use fake online ids like "formfeed" or "lonelygirl" instead of my real name Juanita Maria Gonzales.
So WTF?? Do they now scan the city's property registry or what?
Bush - Hitler?
Very easy, beginners level. Any authoritarian, conservative government that goes for law&order already matches on at least 5 accounts,
Add the comparison of Reichstagsbrand and 9/11 and by-stepping the constitution after that for an extra point.
Obama- Hitler?
Harder, longer argument.
Usually, you would want to argue with mass psychology and rhetoric.
Add Walter Benjamin for an extra point on theory.
Maybe mention, that they both had their citizenship status questioned.(Which is an attack incompatible with the intellectual Benjamin route)
But, Obama-Hitler: because both were on Myth-busters?
I bow to the master of Hitler-comparisons!
Atheist Fundamentalists are the counterpart to religious Fundamentalists.They both share the same image of a righteous, vengeful, narrow-minded god, who's about a half a step away from Zeus. - Which sums up both groups views on religion.

If only I hadn't wasted my mod points by writing a comment :D
That's funny.
So how do I mod you up?
Obviously the programming language would be Mono.

If you're referring to to the informants, IMO they are the terrorists.
No, not terrorist. It is a time honored tradition that every witch you catch has to name two other witches.

Growers of organic food still use pesticides

Does this mean IP packets will leave scent trails all over the internet?
fellow Canadian!
Looks like you outed yourself.
I just watched "How I met your mother" and they had a long section about canadian sexacts.
You people are sick!
I admit, I love toolgirl. But maple syrup? come on!

Anecdotal evidence of course.
Yeah right- the user name you chose somehow tells me that you are involved with that group.
Cell phone users aren't welcome around my pepper plants.
So how do you explain
[...] the holocaust didn't happen
"I don't wanna hear about the holocaust anymore"
we have no homosexuals in Iran
"Men holding hands and kissing are not homosexuals."
[..] that this is actually a Rorschach inkblot VIDEO
You mean like these pornographic ink drawings of naked women?
I propose to add:
+1 terrorist
and
-1 terrorist
+5 for most creative comparison to Hitler !

Obama does nothing and gets a Nobel Peace Prize Assange champions truth and gets an arrest warrant.
Not to worry, this time next year the US will call for a boycott of the Nobel Peace Prize, because it "goes to a convicted criminal" </cynicism>

let's check Wikileaks to see if there's a good review by the state department.
I for one have three bikes at home and only two cars, does that mean that the era of the car is over at my house?
Now that you mention it: I have two bathrooms but only one refrigerator.
