The National Security Agency (NSA ) of United States hacked into the Mexican president's public email account and gained deep insight into policymaking
OK, seriously? From his public email? Even Obama has a "public email" you can send shit to. Little old ladies and bent out of shape whack jobs pounding away at their keyboard send stuff to El Presidente's"public email".
I see you bought in to the "stock" thing. Why do you think start-ups offer such a thing? Because for the most part it is WORTHLESS in the long run. You will never benifit from those "stock" options. And yet you go on working for "real world" wages that are shitty because you're in love with the company. In a few years, you will walk away shaking your head at how you could have stayed there so long without real actual good compensation in the form you real actual money paid into your bank account.
And if you think FORTRAN is some ancient esoteric languge, you're ignorent as well. The most recent standard, ISO/IEC 1539-1:2010, informally known as Fortran 2008, was approved in September 2010.
Fortran is, for better or worse, the only major language out there specifically designed for scientific numerical computing. It's array handling is nice, with succinct array operations on both whole arrays and on slices, comparable with matlab or numpy but super fast. The language is carefully designed to make it very difficult to accidentally write slow code -- pointers are restricted in such a way that it's immediately obvious if there might be aliasing, as the standard example -- and so the optimizer can go to town on your code. Current incarnations have things like coarray fortran, and do concurrent and forall built into the language, allowing distributed memory and shared memory parallelism, and vectorization.
The downsides of Fortran are mainly the flip side of one of the upsides mentioned; Fortran has a huge long history. Upside: tonnes of great libraries. Downsides: tonnes of historical baggage.
If you have to do a lot of number crunching, Fortran remains one of the top choices, which is why many of the most sophisticated simulation codes run at supercomputing centres around the world are written in it. But of course it would be a terrible, terrible, language to write a web browser in. To each task its tool.
There's been a lot of discussion after his death that it might have been a hit. He told close friends that he was under watch. A few days after his death, there was a video posted showing how a hacker could control a toyota prius
There's little question that he was a smart guy, and that the charges against him were unjust.
But it is talk like this that only goes to further support the information that is known about his personal mental state. This type of talk is classic paranoia, and very unlikely to be in the realm of reality.
On the whole the shuttle was a boondoggle. It is best that the program is over. Yeah it had some advantages, but overall it did not deliver what it was promised to deliver.
The Shuttle Program, like all of the manned space programs before it, delivered an immense amount of technology development that has advanced our knowledge of materials sciences and engineering in general beyond any level before it.
You can't base the value of the Shuttle Project simply on some science fiction ideal of a "space plane" and what such a thing could do.
By the way, without the Shuttle Program, the Hubble Telescope would have died long ago.
I'm always amazed to read about things like this because most engineers are not morons. Why would they do it? How could they not know it would be discovered?
The Black Hats have probably known about this for a long time...
I just visited japan and took the Safecast everywhere I went. At no point did it go significantly above what were normal background radiation readings in Dublin...
Obviously there has been some sort of nuclear catastrophe in Dublin that your government is covering up.
I work at McChord AFB (Joint Base Lewis McChord). The last âoefurloughâ, I did not work and so was not paid. They spread the days out such that you could not get unemployment. As well, we could not use earned leave (even though that's my leave which they must pay me for anyway).
This time around, I was classified as a âoemission essentialâ employee, so I have to work or lose my job. But I will be paid retroactively, and not until the budget is passed. So again, no pay and because I am working, no unemployment or other low income services.
The thing is, for some reason a lot of people think that Federal employees all make six figures. It isn't so. The vast majority make $50,000 or less. I'm not complaining about my pay scale. But having lost around $2500 in savings with the last âoefurloughâ, my accounts are a bit thin.
I wonder if my landlord and the electric company will take âoeretroactiveâ payments? I suspect not. As my wife has MS, we are a single income family. And again, I'm not complaining about my pay rate, I took this job, no one twisted my arm. Fortunatly for me, I have a large family that will pitch in and help me out. Others are not so fortunate, this will hurt a lot of worker bees.
The only good thing out of this is that the Republicans â" most of whom would vote to end this if Boehner would allow a vote â" are slitting their own throats because they are scared of a minority of Tea Baggers. Next election, the House will belong to the Democrats, and the Tea Baggers will return home frothing at the mouth. Good for them.
The republicans have *always* relied on the votes of the stupid, by telling them that they (the Republicans - the greedy business elite) are just like them and are on their side. Now their dupes are the govt-haters who don't want to pay their taxes. Not long ago it was the bible thumpers and Jesus lovers, who hoped the "moral" Republicans would put down those pinko atheist Democrats. Before that, before they changed their name, the Republicans were âoeSouthern Democratsâ who yelled "The niggers are taking over and want to marry your lily-white daughter." The Republican politicians are just careerists who take money from the elite in order to remain in office. *Their* goal is power and the perks.
Folks, like many expensive watches, this is a fashion item, not a solution to any particular problem (other than how to fleas money from rich yups). Like a Rolex. It's jewelry.
By chance one of those agents, posing as a major drug smuggler, was contacted by Dread Pirate Roberts, who asked him to torture and execute someone who had stolen Bitcoins from the site.
The agent sent fake pictures of a man being tortured, and of a dead body, and was paid $80,000. Apparently encouraged, Dread Pirate Roberts then asked another drug dealer to kill a Silk Road user in Canada called "FriendlyChemist" who was threatening to release details about the site. He wrote: "I would like to put a bounty on his head if it's not too much trouble for you. Necessities like this do happen from time to time for a person in my position. I wouldn't mind if he was executed."
He then said $150,000 seemed too much, adding: "Don't want to be a pain here but the price seems high. Not long ago I had a clean hit done for $80,000. Are the prices you quoted the best you can do? I would like this done asap... it doesn't have to be clean."

I think the SKIN of the craft, made of aluminum powder and flammable bonding agents contributed to the Hindenburg demise.
Well, I will say this:

And my name is "Frosty PISS".
Slashdot is getting soft
What does this have to do with "validation"? TFA talks about *partial* deployment, one server didn't get the update.

Well, Mark, maybe it's time to move up from Dairy Queen to Jack In The Box...
Having to read old FORTRAN is not a pleasant experience for someone who figures they can generally read languages without hitting a book of some sort,
Having some experience actually writing Fortran code helps...
Clearly you are not involved in serious science.

Seriously consider FORTRAN

Hey, if *LINUS* say the RNG is fine and all you idiots know NOTHING, hey, that's good enough for me.
If "most engineers are not morons" then we wouldn't need Bobby Tables as an example when explaining simple security issues to them.
In general, the people that write that kind of terrible SQL are not engineers, they are "web developers". There is a difference.

The so called "bloggosphere" tends to be more accurate in my opinion.
Exactly. They seem more "accurate" to you because the ones you visit share your views.

Can you propose a more effective method than ridicule for changing undesired behavior?
In the case of Microsoft, apparently it is not and 'effective" method.

Isn't that exactly what "Dot Com" did?
In 60 years, most of the homes built today will be gone. But I dare say a fair number, possibly a higher proportion, will be still standing.
I'm sorry, what?
