the SS was the SchutzStaffel in Nazi Germany that committed the most atrocities during that time long before this secret service came into its hipster existence.
So, as you can see, it has many duties in the past.
Nope. Many people from new EU countries, such as Latvia, Poland and Lithuania, are coming to UK to claim financial aid. They claim they were living in UK for required amount of time (although they came to UK the same day they had interview). No forced labor.
Besides, if you are IT specialist, you shall not fear forced labor - it's easier to find job normal way. I think the hero of the article just dumb.
There is so many things HTML 5 can't do like print. Silverlight out of browser applications are great because they are very easy to update. I guess people will just download apps instead of going to websites then.
Indeed. Although the future of Silverlight is uncertain and I wouldn't define it as something you definitely should learn as windows web developer, I still consider writing OOB applications using it and don't think they are in danger next 5 years or so.
Pushing Metro on the desktop and desktop apps on tablets shows that Microsoft is in total retard mode.
Indeed. That's why I hope they won't do that in final release. It appears that WinRT and Metro are pointing at failure and it's worrying to see how easily they kill what was promoted so much. Silverlight, for example.
You can not rename a village in Russia for sponsorship. Maybe it is allowed in USA, but in Russia it is not. So the whole thing is fake, couldn't be otherwise.
MCSE is a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer. A highest certification for a Windows Server 2003 professional. A boss of system administrators. Nothing to do with coding. And it is still actual, in fact - we don't know when Microsoft will close it.
If you was thinking about MCSD (Software Developer), than yes, you have only 10 days left to receive it.
MCTS - there are 32 different MCTS certifications and they don't give you much unless you are pursuing the MCPD or you are student.
MCPD - there are 3 MCPD certifications, for Web, Windows and Enterprise applications, with Web and Windows being equal by value. Any of them will help you to get your programmer`s ass hired very quickly.
It usually takes 2 months of active training to get your first MCPD, yet it's not easy.
Microsoft is having a strange strategy now. Been in one of their "technology days" a few days ago. They were showing how good MySQL, PHP and Apache are working on Windows Server 2008.
One of the slides said: "Windows Server 2008 - a Powerful LAMP platform!". They definitely don't know what L in "LAMP" stands for.
So now they want all MySQL, PHP and Apache users to switch from Linux, then they will want them to switch to MS SQL, ASP.NET and IIS. Strange.
Nope. Mongolian-Tatar army was stopped in 1242 by duke of Austria and Bohemian King. They were no turks. And before that, they burned Poland, Lithuania, South Russia, Caucasus including Georgia...
Turks are the nation close to Georgia and Iraq. Tatars are nation of Tatarstan in Russia. Mongolians... Well, the nation of Mongolia. In 1242, it was the army of Batiy, the leader of Tatar army.
If you take a look at the map, you will see that Tbilisi is very close to South Osetia. All their bases (sorry) are close to or far beyond the Tbilisi. Planes are lifting from airfields far from S.O., and they have to be destroyed if you want to stop bombings.
Also, "as far as the world is concerned", Yugoslavia, Iraq and others had internal issues too. So there is no need to apply double standards. In this case - all citizens of affected region were citizens of Russia. If one citizen is murdered, the country shall prosecute the killer. That's the reason we have governments and countries - to protect and improve.
Think about it - in a few hours Georgians murdered about 2000 citizens of Russia. Do you still think it's an internal affair? Americans wouldn't agree. They would cry for vengeance.
In this case the role of Germany is played by Georgia. South Osetia or Abkhazia also do not want to become part of it. Especially because they never were a part of it.
5th column, in this case, is about 100% of the population of two regions. Although, of course, allowing them to have Russian citizenship, was exactly the way to make them even more loyal.
However, this also gave them freedom of movement, including the freedom of moving out of that region to either Europe or Asia. Georgia didn't give them even that.
The last bastion against Mongols? You must be kidding. Mongols were stopped under Vienna (Austria).
Muslims, on the other hand, took over nearly the whole Spain, Georgia is very far from that region.
The only thing you can thank Georgia for is Stalin. The home town of Stalin, Gori, is under bombardment now. Nearly all butchers of Soviet Russia were originated from Georgia, headed by Stalin and Beria.
At this moment this country is drowning in corruption and poverty, there was a joke that it's better to declare war on USA and immediately surrender to become the 51st state. Now, they are on their way to total destruction of the country, in political sense.
Just take a look at which direction goes the flow of refugees. They all flee to Russia. Why all of them are flowing into the land of aggressor? Are they all stupid?
Well, (the mentioned in TA) Russia is the biggest country in the world. You don't have to know any other language to live in that country - although there are more than 180(!) other local languages in Russia. It has the longest border and more neighbours (16, to be precise) than any other country, bordering with North Korea, China, Afghanistan, Japan (by sea)/.../ Finland, Poland, Norway and the Baltics. Comparing to USA which borders to just 2 countries, of which one is English-speaking.
So, do Russians actually need to know any second language? But they do. Most popular languages are English and German, and it is obligatory to have one of them as secondary language. At the high school you are starting to learn 3rd language as well.
Probably the biggest difference between Americans and Europeans is in their mentality. Americans traveled from one island (UK) to another (the same could be said about Aussies) with almost no neighbours, and are generally not interested in other countries. While Europeans, and especially Russians, spent thousands of years in international trade and wars and have connections with each other, and that makes a second language a very natural thing.
So what I wanted to say - you don't have to be a small European nation to be bilingual - you only need a different level of culture.
While I do understand that things like passport number can be considered as personal identification information, I wouldn't say that about IP address.
While I am holding a static IP address, I am not owner of it, I am just leasing it for a particular time (theoretically, while the contract with my ISP lasts, but ISP can change it any time). Of course my passport also is a property of the state, but at least there will be no other passport with the same number belonging to other person. ISP technically could use my IP however and whenever he wants I wouldn't even know.
So I believe the article describes two stupidities of German judge - considering the IP address a personal data and disabling logging. Probably will be canceled after German websites fall under unmonitored attacks.
You don't need to memorize all of your passwords. Just use password manager. Like Password Safe (free, open source) by Bruce Schneier. I do have it, and I do have hundreds of passwords, a unique strong random password for each resource I am using. It's not hard, really, and it takes no time. It also doesn't take much time to change password every X months.
And definitely it is worth having password manager if you can lose even 50$ due to hacking of your account.
Real World PCI Compliance

PCI Compliance
·
· Score: 1
Although I agree with you, there is one point I could add: the banks themselves are mostly not PCI compliant.
Yes, Visa and Mastercard push banks and payment processing companies to be PCI compliant, but they offer to check compliance through procedure called "Self audit". That is - you have to tell them you are compliant. So of course everyone is.
I was responsible for PCI compliance in one payment processing company in north Europe, so I know what it's like - a list of sometimes dumb rules you have to implement. Some standards you have to implement are already insecure (SHA-1, for example) and some things became more secure but you just can't use them, because authors of that standard have no clue it can be done in a secure way. For example - you have to say goodbye to FTP in your network, no matter how hard you are protecting the line and how advanced your server is. So PCI standard essentially is obeying dumb principles of basic security at very high cost. There is much you can do better, yet it won't be PCI compliant.
Lack of de-facto PCI compliance means that bank can use the "PCI compliance" factor to prove that its network/environment is extremely secure and so it's your fault that money were stolen. If you would see what I've seen about real PCI compliance in north Europe banks, you would have a serious risk of becoming paranoid.
Today they mess with Wikipedia, tomorrow they will start an experiment with nuclear war. Spanish must be stopped now, for the sake of world peace and democracy!
Guns don't kill, people do. You can't blame Walther for making a gun you've used to shut poor bastard down. You can't blame local arms dealer for legally selling you that gun. Neither you can blame Bruce Willis for showing you how to use it.
Judge won't blame AOL because this will lead to total control of end-user activity by ISPs, judge won't blame PC manufacturer because then millions of new customers will have to sign stupid oaths that they won't use it for illegal purposes...
However, what this woman showed to us, is how laughable claims of RIAA are. Because she just a little bit extended the chain of RIAA arguments. RIAA claims you are responsible for content downloaded using your equipment. This is the same BS as AOL/IBM/General Electric are responsible for you using your equipment for whatever purpose they declare is wrong.
Just a fix for my comment: of course international scientific expeditions are visiting Chernobyl and mentioned mushroom was discovered by international team. But some scientists are preferring theory over practice and that's weird for me.

It would be logical to flee to the side of someone who is not going to kill you.
When, during the (place the name of the war here) Germany attacked (place the name of the country here), people didn't flee to Germany.
Also, I see the large humanitarian help (like bread, generators, hospitals) from Russians. Didn't catch a note about the same thing done by Georgians.
Also, I doubt that any separation allows you to raze the city, killing 7% of its population.
You forgot to add "IMHO".

It wasn't an ambiguous handle. Lena is a womans name. Short from Elena. So it's definitely she.
