There are already numerous allegations of Twitter censoring and unverifying the political right or pro-gamergate folks such as Milo Yiannopoulos. Trump is actually a big attention grabber and he is capturing lots of media attention, so censoring him would hurt Twitter more.
A better question may be why they haven't come down harder on terrorist activities on Twitter
Raytheon has been doing defense & intelligence community security software for as long as I can remember....
Here is a good example of some of their work, which was quite a few years ahead of commercial sector equivalent work in tools like Niksun or Netwitness
is technically challenging to do as the internet can be anonymous.
In many cases it is irresponsible journalism to assume it is "gamergate" launching the harassment campaigns since we know the SA/4chan professional trolls are antagonizing both sides to incite drama.
This is really an effort by big multinationals to suppress tech job wages in the US by keeping up the H1B visa racket, and all the associated visa rackets.
In cutting edge games, FPS still suffers even at low resolutions.
Many users are going to multi-monitor setups to increase their visualization and even cutting edge graphics cards cannot handle gaming at 1920x1080 x 3 display setups on taxing games or applications (e.g. Crysis).
I have never seen a real college campus served by a Cisco 3945.
I have seen plenty of branch offices and banks with using Cisco 3800 series devices, the 3945 predecessors.
Whether or not the device was overpaid for is a different question - I wouldn't be surprised if they used some 8A competition limiting factors that jacked up prices, or, if it included the actual installation and smartnet maintenance costs.
Why not transfer it to NOAA's Satellite Service (NESDIS)?
NOAA's Office of Satellite and Product Operations ( http://www.ospo.noaa.gov/ ) in NESDIS is fully capable and staffed for performing 24/7 satellite operations of production systems, or older NASA research satellites. Unlike a private initiative, OSPO is already paid for by the american people, and makes the data available to everyone.
Idiots who chose to live in antique buildings, in an earthquake prone area.
Rather than take personal responsibility for it, they are now trying to blame the scientists.
I doubt scientists can accurately predict earthquakes due to the limited amount of time we have been observing the earth. Half the Nuclear plants in the Eastern US were built to specifications considered accurate at the time, something we now know not to be adequate.
FISMA certified ( and accredited ) means a great deal more than security planning.
Certified means it was tested by an independent security tester to NIST 800-53, using 53A and all associated security pubs. I won't get into the specifics of the security testing required for this, but it is wide and primarily comprehensive*.
Accredited means that a government executive read over everything, with the advice of government security engineers, and still thought it was a good decision to authorize government use. Government types are notoriously risk-adverse
NIST goes far beyond what you see in unregulated industries. If you don't understand the control set, you really are not qualified to speak. While there are other regulated industries that may have similar protections, they are few and far between.
* NIST control sets still need improvement in software security
GSA, the lead government agency for acquisition, certified and accredited Google according to FISMA.
The question is really whether or not GSA can do that (Certify and accredit for the entire US govt), and whether or not any agency can arbitrarily add their own unique security requirements(DOI excluding)
Google went through the agonizing process of FISMA that is very stringent compared to jokes like a SAS 70 type 2. Microsoft did nothing. DOI does not have a FISMA certified private or govt cloud.
DOI determined they would add in their own unique security requirements for a yet-unbuilt cloud solution that had never been certified for FISMA. Basically a joke of a to-be solution.
Google cried foul, claiming they had already passed the FISMA qualification, something no other cloud vendor had done at the same time period. Google claimed a certified solution like their cloud could not be compared against a non-existent pipedream cloud.
GSA certified and accredited Google Apps (FISMA certification) GSA is the lead agency for acquisition for the US Govt GSA met several the NIST standards at the moderate level DOI claims that the GSA certification doesn't meet their specific standards and they have to have a govt only cloud in the continental US. DOI security has been the laughingstock of the US govt for as long as I can remember*

Slashdot was "News for Nerds"
Lately though, half the posts are some SJW topic.

I'm not sure why this is being down-voted because this is exactly what will happen.
We'll see much more of companies with their core competency senior management on staff only.
Basically Senior managers, VPs, President, CEO, etc.
Everyone else will be contracted in, or 1099 (which is already quite common).
