Funny thing, that description sounds pretty clear to me (even though I have no idea what it actually means - looks like you're trying to change file permissions). I'd rather read that then wade through a poorly done You Tube video with iPhone photography and a halting presentation by someone with a bad cold.
You need to dig (pun intended) into the subject a bit more. The subduction zone of a tectonic plate might be 50 kilometers down, not 50 meters. People have suggested putting nuclear waste in some of the deeper ocean trenches formed by subduction zones where the plate boundary is thin ( 1 - 10 km). Problem is it would take tens of thousands of years for the material to subduct appreciably below the surface. In the meantime it would be actively falling apart just like everything else in a marine environment. Then there is the small issue of getting the stuff down to a particular point a kilometer or so below the surface.
Go look up Project Moho for the difficulties in getting stuff down to subduction zone.
Last of the bald eagles? I wish. Come up to Alaska. They're basically giant rats that make more noise than rats ever did and poop in places that rats can only dream of. We have an buttload of the them. You're welcome to any and all.
I know this is all retro and stuff, but land lines aren't dangerous or particularly expensive. Mine comes with my Internet connection, YMMV.
And, although emergencies are fortunately rather rare, I would prefer to depend on my land line than my AT&T-we-might-complete-this-call-if-we're-having-a-good-day cell phone.
Slight correction. The reason the de Haviland Comet's fuselage failed was because of the square windows concentrating stressors at the corners created a series of weak areas all along the fuselage. You will notice that any aluminum aircraft or boat has somewhat rounded corners on windows.
Curiosity does have a bunch of 'nylon tie' like objects on the top of the rover, holding bundles of cables together. Wonder what they're made out of. A quick search found lots of documentation on exactly how to run the cables (fun factoid - they still use knots on cord) but not much on what the stuff was made out of.
No, what this actually says is that mission goals of a specific time are a nebulous, silly concept that are foisted off on the Power Point People because it's simpler than explaining complex physics and material sciences. It avoids icky concepts like engineering trade offs, probabilities, risk ratios and mathematical feats more complicated than 'next slide'.
We also don't know WHERE this router was. Community has 200 hospitals. That's a lot of routers. You don't upgrade everything at once, especially in a network that is running 24 x 7. Hell, I wonder how many companies with 200 sites even knows where all of it's routers are.
It could well have been hidden in a file cabinet in a disused lavatory.
Yeah, the big problem was when they tried to bill for it. The router realized it didn't have good insurance (Community didn't renew the service contract) and so it panicked and tried to muck with the billing program (since it the data had to run through the router anyway). It got confused about billing codes (there probably is an ICD 10 code for this, but we're not going to 10 for another year), opened a port to talk to another router and, just like a naked Windows 95 box, got pawned.
It's a bit more complex than that. First of all, network security IS important. It's just hard. As countless Slashdot 'discussions' have shown. Even if you are a big player like Community you're probably busy running around putting out fires most of the time. Community is big enough that they probably have a dedicated network security team. Somewhere. But they have something like 200 hospitals. And I can guarantee you that they're on different platforms running different software managed by persons of differing abilities.
When you have a breach like this, you don't just go "Eureka! I've found it!". You start out with "what the fuck...." You call somebody else. Who calls somebody else. Who calls the feds. Somebody else calls corporate legal.
Now you have a real problem. You have at least one committee.
And we all know how well this scenario turns out...
Ah, no. It has helped. Somewhat. Mostly it's shuffled the deck a bit. Still a whole bunch of people with essentially no way to pay for healthcare. The ACA was never designed to completely solve the problem, only improve it. And improve it a bit it has, with quite a bit of collateral damage.
The really sad part about the ACA is that the big winners were the insurance companies. They had to suck up and drop the pre existing conditions clause and had to allow for children to stay on their parent's insurance until age 26, but they got 5 years of near uncontrolled price increases and lots and lots of paybacks from the feds.
Score: US citizens 1, US Government 0, Insurance Industry 10, Big Pharma 4.
Oh, and the lawyers, they always seem to win extra points all the time.....

The only thing built into Firefox these days is a large integer and a constantly morphing UI.
Grumpy grampy today?
You want, say, another article on whether Apple/Google/Facebook/Oracle/Lotus Notes is the antichrist?
Or another article suggesting that Africa/America/Germany/Qwghlm is the start and fundamental cause of the Apocalypse?
Hey, these threads at least have have some coherent responses. (Present company excluded, of course).
Gauge theory? Wake me up when the Gravity Gauge is on 'Empty'.
Weee!
All I know is that I definitely have more regular poops when I eat that probiotic yogurt.
Yes, it appears that it is indeed, all that you know....

It turns out that Amory Lovins is an idiot.
Except fish are slimy, scaly and make weird mouth shapes when you pull them out of the water to look at them. They look pretty awkward.
Oh no you don't. Fish are cute!
Lovely idea that, sticking nuclear waste into active volcanoes.

The obvious answer for this environmental and philosophical conundrum is for you to start breakfasting from your bird feeder.
I know! I know!
We can surround the power plant with cats!
Oh. Wait.

The Rover didn't have any wings at all, you insensitive clod.

Take that Apple!
Group hug!
It's a dozen very lonely guys and a bunch of Slashdot links....
Or is that statement too redundant?

Please fact-check before throwing negative comments someones way.
US Unemploymnent : 6.3%
UK Unemploymnent : 6.4%
Imperial or US percentages?
Yep. Look up "Red Flags rule".
