I mean, seriously? What kind of journalist, investigating malfeasance by federal agencies, would have the names of her sources in plain text?
The kind who isn't a computer expert.
I know it's hard to do considering the crowd here, but try and keep in mind - most people, journalists included, barely even know what encryption is, let alone how to use it properly.
Maybe she needs to ask for a position writing human interest stories and leave the serious reporting to people who realize the kind of enemies they might make. Things aren't pretty in the government right now, and amateur hour ended back at Deep Throat.
Toilet break would be that, a break, and on your own time.
Only my lunch is unpaid. I get paid breaks. So that would mean the toilet break is also not my own time. If I'm standing outside making a phone call on my personal cell phone, should my employer have the right to monitor the call since I'm on their time?
Heck, you barely even hear of the "Baby Boomers" in the news, and there are probably (still) more of them out there in the US than anyone else.
Nope, you hear about the Baby Boomers quite often in the news today, but it's always in the context of how they're all on their way into retirement now, and how our Social Security and healthcare systems wont be able to bear the costs of all these new beneficiaries. The news, in their usual sensationalist style, always makes it sounds like they're all going to leave their jobs by the end of the year and immediately start demanding free hip-replacement surgeries.
Yes, that way when the hot corners don't work you have to figure out if it's the interface that's not responding or the Kinect that's not seeing your gestures to start with.
All of this confusion and scamming could be eliminated if the government would just move the real site to the.gov domain. Then it'd be easy..gov = real,.com = fake.
They had one. I remember going to freecreditreport.gov last time I got my credit report, then that commercial outfit got freecreditreport.com and started running all their stupid singing TV ads. I even remember a campaign to educate people that they needed to go to the.gov site for the official report. But it looks the government had to change because for the sheeple the idea a website can end in something other than.com is too difficult.
Try freecreditreport.gov now and you get a redirect to the FTC and told to visit the new site.
"Our team is bringing in some of the best and brightest from both inside and outside government to scrub in with the [HHS] team and help improve HealthCare.gov"
Shouldn't the "best and the brightest" been on this job to start with? Or are they admitting they hired mediocre people to make a website that will run an entire country's heathcare system?
An advertiser not respecting the wishes of a consumer to not be advertised to? I'm very perplexed what type of individuals these are who run this business.
But you can't patent the human nose (only possibly sections of the genetic sequence that create it).
At least this is a temperature sensor it appears, and does not detect spoiled milk that is simply too old. I'd feel bad if we've degenerated to a point where people need to use a color-coded label because they couldn't read expiration dates.
Having the whole car structure to replace instead of changing batteries to me is a kind of industrial suicide, unless you decide to throw your car away every two years...
Ah, so this is how they plan to add forced-obsolesce into cars. Can't have anyone driving the same automobile for a decade, of course.
He didn't say that. He said don't do something they won't like.
"They" could be any individual in a position of power abusing his authority for personal reasons, sort of like those NSA agents spying on their crushes. It's impossible for someone to avoid that because their actions are not based on the laws and protocols they are supposed to be following.
Don't forget regular stand-alone blu-ray players, too. I'd say the vast majority of people interested in using Netflix already own one of these devices and don't need to have it added to their cable box.
Maybe that's Netflix's whole game. They're reaching a market saturation and need to find a way to continue that "neverending growth" bullshit Wall Street expects now.
The NES Advantage was better because of the rapid fire being adjustable. In some games you were only allowed to have a certain number of projectiles on screen at once or the maximum fire rate was lower than the highest rate the controller supported, so you could use the dial to slow the rapid-fire rate to what was best for the game.
I actually used the slow-mo mode a few times (muted the TV audio so I would be hearing the pause chime continuously sound).
She cannot be on a bridged modem since it would mean that only the computer that terminates the PPPoE connection will be online. It's not the case.
1) You're assuming the DSL connection is a PPPoE connection. 2) Do you know how a router works? Hint: When your router setup asks if if your provider requires a username/password -- guess what it's doing.
Also, MY provider gives me a new address each time I log in.
Guess what? It's a big world out there beyond your mom's basement, and most providers don't do that. I can tell you because I've worked for a few of them over the years. When I see someone asking how to change their public IP address (usually to get around IP address block/rate limiting at a site) and I see people say to "powercycle your modem and router" or "just release and renew your IP address" I laugh. Many providers simply don't work like that. If it's the same freak'n device (determined by MAC) connecting five minutes later, the provider will issue it the same IP, even on DHCP setups. I've talked to people who get so used to having the same IP all the time they seem to think they have a static IP and then get mad when it does change. "But it's been 24.134.67.201 for months now!" "So what?"
Other policy should be a waste of precious IPV4 addresses and so ISP have no incentive to use it.
The provider sets the lease time, and I've seen them as low as three hours. The address aren't wasted because once the lease expires it goes back to the pool of available addresses if it's not being renewed. Since most customers are only using one device (their PC in a one-machine home or their router) on their connection, it works out fine to have some leases open but not in use for a couple days since many providers use 24-72 hour leases.
In order to have a fixed IP I should pay about 1/3 of my total Internet access fee.
If you really pay a 33% markup on your service to get a static IP you are getting ripped off. unless your Internet service is cheap to start with.
He's likely on an Internet connection that uses a bridged modem and DHCP to assign IP addresses. He would have to change the MAC of the router to appear to be a new device connecting on his ISP's network if he wanted a new public IP address.
It's not like we're going to start sending ships to Saturn to get them and bring them back. What makes a diamond valuable is its rarity on Earth. Suddenly having access to a literal ocean of them might impact that value.

Places where education is more about athletics than academics and knowledge is substituted with opinion.
So... the vast majority of the United States?
See where your tax dodging schemes got you, Facebook?

The first paralyzed people to try out the tech have already been able to stand on their own, and have regained some bowel and sexual function.
Gives new meaning to the phrase "getting turned on".

So, no streaming video until Netflix makes a trip to the moon?

It's all coming together.
The programs interfaces you don't want to use on the console you don't want to own!

I guess this is that "are they really collecting just metadata like they're telling us, or the whole message to analyze" thing.

"Winston Smith . . . . . resorted to hiding the bushes with his lover "
I don't remember any bushes in that story.
Exactly. Because Winston hid them, you never saw them.
He's likely on an Internet connection that uses a bridged modem and DHCP to assign IP addresses. He would have to change the MAC of the router to appear to be a new device connecting on his ISP's network if he wanted a new public IP address.

Um, why don't they just contact the hosting provider or IP-block owner to takedown the site if they suspect illegal activity?
As the summary says, this is a site based in Singapore. I imagine they don't care what some policeman in City of London thinks of the site.
I have met him several times, but have no idea what he really thinks he is accomplishing here.
Doesn't sound too productive to contact him then, does it?
I'm actually looking forward to the photo essays of the "Ghost town from Facebook" ten years from now.
