IIRC, Tesla Model S batteries are connected in series groups, resulting in a 350 Volt output. If Tesla made a home battery that put out 120 Volts, many resistive loads, universal motors and switched mode power supplies could run directly off battery power.
So the CEO hires a CIO to handle al the information systems stuff. And if he wants to kno what's going on, he pops into the CIO's office and asks.
Unless you are working in an information systems company, the IT department is not a stepping stone to the CEO job. That would be someone from engineering, sales, maybe finance or legal. And the CIO knows this. He and his staff are just cogs in the wheel. Where he can make an impression (but not at his company) is to deliver his companies IT needs into the hands of various vendors and consultants. And once he is finished, he can hop over to a cushy job with one of them. And since they are in the IT business, he stands a change of getting the top job.
To the IT workers and their customers (users and other department heads), the CIO's goals often run at cross purposes to their daily efforts. They simply need to get some job done while the CIO is trying to make a name for himself by either running a big heroic IT re-engineering effort or delivering his company into the hands of some cloud service (where he hopes to get hired on). And this is the person the company CEO depends upon for advice.
So we've had a recent rash of threats called in against airlines. Set aside the case of a 'false flag' operation to stir up support for a Patriot Act renewal. Because if this is the case, all you TLA fuckers should lose your jobs. The remaining possibility is that these were called in by either terrorists or cranks. Either way, where are the inevitable arrests leading from the current data collection regime, huh? Couple of clicks on the metadata and the local SWAT team rolls, news at 11.
This is what these programs are supposed to do: catch the bad guys (or crazy guys). So, if you can't even round up a couple of suspects, what exactly have you idiots been doing up until now?
how long before failing to include it is negligence?
That will be a scary day. When all the jay-walking hobos think every car will automatically stop for them, so they step out to cross the road anywhere they feel like it.
I get a kick out of how many people posting here assume that anyone using FriendFinder is a blackmail target due to this leaked information. There are singles who just might not care if others know they are out looking for f*buddies. And there are married people who might have open relationships.
Some years ago, at an interview for a security clearance, these issues came up. "What would you do, Mr PPH, if someone threatened to publish pictures of you with some stripper?" Being single at the time I just said I'd order copies to be sent out as Christmas cards.
Things have gotten quite a bit more sane since those days. The DoD is quite willing to work with people involved in alternative lifestyles from a security perspective. And many companies would just as likely remove an intolerant supervisor as an employee that didn't live up to some ideal of a Christian lifestyle.

So now we'll be seeing solar panels on shopping carts?
I just have one question: Why did they name this mountain after a pen?

This is a volvo driver we're talking about
So drive a BMW. The pedestrian avoidance system is a horn.
Fast aging porn star. Probably from the days of VHS.
Yes, but will it un-blend?
decision-making in situations of conflict
Sounds like the New Jersey Turnpike alright.
It's pronounced "eye-gor."
Connected to the Internet?
Pedobear approves!
really do make a difference..
Yes, they do.
Move the ex-cons into my neighborhood, full of investment bankers and corporate executives. And they'll learn how not to get caught.

No problem
We figure that Microsoft has been compromised since the first DoJ consent decree. So nothing new here.
the inevitable problems that arise are the expected outcome.
Right. Keep this in mind the next time you get your laptop confiscated by Customs for having a copy of nmap on it.
Being online would qualify as exporting...
Not automatically. If its uploaded to a server from outside the USA and the server itself exists outside the USA, no export was involved.
This just pushes the remaining development of such tools out of the USA.
Not me. I have problems getting Slashdot to not repeatedly load its main page while I'm scrolling through the articles.
Evidently, some of Slashdot's development team aren't the sharpest rocks in the cave.
Not as hideous as curly brackets.
Be careful what you wish for. You could end up with Python.
