Governments never seem to be able to attract good talent no matter how much money they are required to spend on it. Government simply does not attract the best and brightest most of the time. I'm also sure that there is nothing buried in here about "information sharing" between state and federal agencies.
I've been getting way more into indie music genres, and by far my most used purchasing platform is now Bandcamp. DRM-free downloads, the ability to preview the entire track or album before buying, stream the purchased music on their mobile app, and the ability to download high-quality AIFF, WAV, FLAC, etc. formats for archivists and packrats like me. Any time I find a piece of music I want to buy, I always check Bandcamp first. iTunes is now my last resort for digital purchase.
The electric utilities have the authority for any new electrical service to say "we will give you this many amps for this size of building". And many of them do just for this reason.
I may be dead wrong on this, but it seems like many of the studies and papers put out today are funded by grants from organizations which often have a (even if subtle) political or ideological agenda. And if the studies they fund support their position, they hand out more grants. If the studies go against it, that university sees its grants from that organization reduced. Perhaps this has an effect on the results of the studies? I'd like to hope not but it seems like anything we think is right is upside down anymore. I haven't looked into this very closely to see if my anecdotal data point is valid, but I'd like to see if anyone can validate it.
I am a professional engineer licensed in Oregon. This is very typical for OSBEELS to do. The term "engineer" has very specific legal meaning, and in most states it implies registration and license as a professional engineer. The reason that Oregon and other states vigorously pursue people who claim to be engineers without licensure is to protect the public from those who claim to be engineers but do not have the education or experience to be admitted to the profession. Oregon happens to pursue these types of issues more vigorously than other states I have been licensed in, but this is nothing new. The claim that his first amendment rights are being violated is laughable (but IANAL). He is free to make his case, but he cannot call himself an "engineer" without being licensed.
I've been with AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile in the pacific northwest (Washington, Oregon mostly) for the last several years. During that time I have traveled both to the more metropolitan western Oregon and Washington, as well as the more rural eastern sides of the states. AT&T is pretty good around major metros and most semi-rural areas. T-mobile is very spotty outside of the metros and most major interstates, and many rural areas of eastern Washington and Oregon they have zero coverage at all. I've never used Sprint in this area but I don't know anyone who even has Sprint so that should tell you something. Verizon seems to have the best overall coverage in the pacific northwest, especially the more rural areas. Even when really out in the middle of nowhere they always seem to have some coverage to at least get a call out if nothing else. I can't speak for Idaho as I have not traveled in that area in several years. All of the major companies are awful in terms of pricing and customer service when you have a problem, but the best of all of the evils seems to be Verizon in my experience in this region of the US.
Tell me with a straight face that when a surgery robot is doing its work, commanded by a doctor over the internet, that those packets are equal to those of someone watching Netflix.
Unintended consequences?
We already know that the NSA flags encrypted traffic as suspicious and keeps it forever. If we assume they have enough computing power to target on a particularly interesting set of data (based on headers and routing info which can't be encrypted or it doesn't work), then how is it much better than having them store your data in the clear?
Yes, way back when I installed Hardy Heron I believe it was, on an older machine, I downloaded an ISO that I burned to a CD, booted up from that, and after a bit of network config, it grabbed all the packages from the internet and installed them. I can't seem to find such an option anymore that is comparable. The closest thing I can find is Netboot install from the internet, which I do not believe is the same.
And if someone like me can totally not have a clue like you just demonstrated, then clearly the public has no chance. I thank you for your detective work and now I have some locking down to do. Thanks.
Actually it is not. That is just a free Wordpress theme I applied to that site while I was building it. I never finished it and don't know when I will, so I removed it from my profile. Good catch though.
I have a Facebook, don't use it. I don't need Google+. Twitter is a good niche for me because it allows me to keep some track of my friends without having to know every damn thing they are doing. It also lends to being more anonymous. I don't really want my real name out there except to people I really know well. But I have plenty of followers on Twitter who like what I post and don't care that much EXACTLY who I am. Twitter lends itself well to that since neither Facebook nor G+ allow pseudonyms.
So, is this torrent legal or not?
Although I understand these documents are public domain, did the torrent creator get the data in a less-than legal way? Am I liable in any way if I download said torrent?
No, I did not RTFA.
My local electrical utility (run by the city I live in) is a member of Energy Northwest, which if I understand it is basically a co-op of its member utilities in the pacific northwest. The power is provided basically at-cost to the utilities. Our electricity rates here are very low compared to the rest of the US and we don't have all these scheister "energy companies" running around and ripping off the consumers.

I became an engineer. I work in a cubicle. I bear a slight resemblance to Dilbert when in my work attire. This my friends, is worse than death. Therefore, I have no fear of death because I am beyond it.
Same story here. My employer will pay my full wage for up to two weeks of jury duty per calendar year. I have to give them the amount the court pays me though. Unfortunately since it's not required, typically the only employers who pay this kind of benefit are higher level professional companies. Your average retail worker is probably not going to get paid for jury duty.
Maybe I should have clarified what other systems I run. I have two CentOS machines as well as an Ubuntu desktop. I am not the uneducated corporate shill that you assume I am.
I used to have a neighbor who had about 5 computers in his house. He was ok with computer administration and troubleshooting but occasionally came to me for help. All his machines were running Windows XP at the time. Ignoring the hardware capabilities for a minute, upgrading all of those machines to Win7 would have cost several hundred dollars for not much forseeable benefit. Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't believe Microsoft offers "Family Pack" licensing of OS like Apple does. Now switch over to me, I have about 10 computers in the house which includes 4 Macs as the primary machines for my wife and I (one desktop and one laptop each). When a new OS version comes out its around $160 for 5 licenses. Hell yeah! It pays for itself with just 2 copies installed.
If Microsoft offered multiple-user home licenses like this you would probably see more people take the leap if they think their hardware can handle it. If this is already an option, mod me as "-1 Moot" and post the link to where you can obtain such licensing.
Brick and mortar stores can serve a great purpose that a bunch of UPS trucks can't. All that flat roof area is great for putting up solar panels! You get to use the land for the store AND generate power, not just generate power (if the panels were mounted on the ground with no store built).
Why is this a problem? So what if the patent is expired, it still EXISTS. In fact, the patent numbers are helpful because it leads you right to the source that tells you whether its expired or not, and indirectly, how long you have to wait before you can cash in by making a cheap knockoff.
There are the two pinball hall of fame games that have some of the great gottlieb and williams games. I'm hoping they do a bally one sometime too. At least midevil madness was one of the ones they have ported.
Oh wow, I had never heard of either of these. Thanks for the tip! Unfortunately it looks like they have some tables exclusive to PS3 and 360, which is rather annoying considering I am a Wii owner only. A Bally one would be good because that would cover Dr. Who, Attack from Mars, and Revenge from Mars all in one shot. Glorious day that would be.
Pinball really is a lost bit of nostalgia. I bet you a LOT of money could be made if classic machines such as Dr. Who, Attack from Mars, Revenge From Mars, Terminator, were adapted to the PC. I mean, Maxis' Full Tilt Pinball is the last decent pinball sim I can think of. And that was circa Windows 3.1

Until the network gets in the way of an executive doing something executive-y or costs too much. Then it's right back to status quo.

You never mess with Anonymous. Whether Anonymous is right or wrong is for you to decide. But under either case, you don't mess with them.
But does it run....oh wait. Never mind.
