The NSA needs to know when the back doors it has built are uncovered. So it probably subscribes to a number of software security services that look for such stuff.
Right. Banks have minimum capital requirements. If something is 'off the books', then it can't be a part of the assets used to satisfy these regulations.
Unregistered securities should be worth zero for any 'mark to market' rules.
That differs from pseudonymity. (Is that a word?) With anonymity, there is no reputation at stake even within a community. People can game the system by posing as multiple posters and generally make asses of themselves.
It all depends on the purpose of the forum. Slashdot has pseudonyms and a moderation system to encourage some semblance of civil behavior and to push back on the troll threads. But it isn't intended to allow participants to develop 'fully formed' online reputations. Just cull the real bozos.
There are other sites that are purely anonymous. One in particular has gone back and forth between thread IDs and pure anonymity, presently selecting the latter. In spite of a rash of gaming and abusive nonsense. But then, that appears to be its purpose.
Actually, its the real world that is dangerous. The Internet is pretty harmless until it leaks into my real life.
A pseudonym is my way of being a member of a community without linking that membership to my real life. It differs from pure anonymity in that I can still damage my on-line reputation by being a jerk-wad.
CIO President Walter Reuther was being shown through the Ford Motor plant in Cleveland recently.
A company official proudly pointed to some new automatically controlled machines and asked Reuther: "How are you going to collect union dues from these guys?"
Reuther replied: "How are you going to get them to buy Fords?"
People have shown in humans that flicker fusion frequency is related to a person's subjective perception of time, and it changes with age. It's certainly faster in children.
What about differences in physical size between members of the same species? I've heard "He's pretty quick for a big guy."
But nobody ever says that of smaller people. Its just sort of a given.
Hurricane Sandy. Even Governor Christie (GOP) complemented the Obama administration on its response. Which incurred a political cost. So I don't think he made his comments lightly.
An object that displaces 114k tons weights at least 114kT. If the object's volume is less than the volume of 114kT of sea water (in this case), it sinks. If its volume is more, then it displaces a volume of water that, when multiplied by its density equals 114kT. Some guy named Archimedes figured this out a while back.
Science would be a lot more fun if we still could run naked down the street following major discoveries.
Another 9/11 could easily be funded by a rich Saudi prince 'losing' a bunch of money in Las Vegas over a weekend. And they still can't find what happened to much of Bernie Madoff's take?
This isn't about crime or terrorism, its about conducting commercial and industrial espionage to benefit US corporations.
politicians that run on a platform that includes deregulation and freeing the market of even modest restraints on bad behavior.
A condition of deregulation would be one without patents. Certainly not one promoted by corporate interests. For each issue, its always a matter of following the money to see whether the decision will be pro or anti regulation.
As long as one party routinely votes against the self interests of their own voters,
The party works for its financial supporters. Voters are a minor inconvenience in that they have to be manipulated to keep the party in power. In Soviet Russia, they used the term 'useful idiots' for such supporters of the cause.
There are more efficient way to implement command and control systems than a century old battleship bridge. Or everyone staring at the same big display. But it sure looks good for the spectators.
When Nokia becomes a subsidiary of Microsoft, the point will be moot. If Microsoft doesn't want a spin-off using Nokia technology with a competing O/S, licenses will not be granted. From which shell company the licenses will not be granted really doesn't matter.
If Newkia doesn't have those rights in its pocket NOW, forget about it. In addition, they have little to deal with when negotiating for licenses from other manufacturers like Samsung, Google, Apple, etc. Other than a desire on the part of these players to screw with Microsoft, why would they grant licenses to a group with nothing to bring to the table in exchange?
I doubt this will get very far. Microsoft bought Nokia in part for its patent portfolio*. Anyone that thinks they can carry a set of hardware blueprints out the door and into a new competitor is in for a rude surprise.
* Patent portfolio plus mutual licensing deals with the other major IP holders. Anyone that thinks they can build a phone from scratch these days is going to end up with one like this.

Actually that was because the Obama administration has been known to withhold substantive emergency support to punish areas of political opposition.

Governor Christie took one for the team to make sure his state got the ait they needed.
After the fact?

Basically a how-to for efficiently and cost effectively broadcasting a HD stream from a remote location to millions of live viewers.
Problem solved by the porn industry years ago.
Yeah, right.

Not any more.
they had better clue-up on the salability issue.
When Microsoft tires of Nokia, there isn't going to be anything left to sell.
That's what gave the plot away: There's someone claiming to be an IT guy working on our system. And he's not an asshole.
Call the police!
When all life on earth is wiped out following a dog confusing a Dalek with a fire hydrant.
Our local utility is subsidizing the replacement of inefficient incandescent death rays with the more efficient LED ones.
They tried CFL death rays, but one was better off just getting the subject to break them and inhale the mercury.
like driving all technology companies out of Massachusetts and into neighboring states that don't have such a tax.
Isn't this tax applied at the point of delivery? That is: Upon the buyer of the IT services, based upon their location within the state?
