This is hardly "news" in that itâ(TM)s pretty standard for companies to fund "independent" research papers on their products, and of course the expectation is that these studies will be friendly to whatever thing they are studying. The bigger issue to me is that the majority of the public does not understand this is going on and has been since almost the beginning of time.
They said they would build an ICBM that could reach America. They did (Hawaii and Alaska so far).
Have they? I see these map graphs with range circles associated with certain missiles - which have not flow that far...
Saying something is capable - if they can figure out how to design the missile to withstand reentry, or the missile is capable - if they can perfect complex gyros and navigational hardware / software so the missile can hit a target, or the missile is capable - if they can figure out how to insure it does not explode on launch or break up in flight...
These things are the same as saying that the North Koreans *are not* capable of these things.
Speaking of North Korea's breakthrough miniaturization technology - presumably developed in their state-of-the-art research facilities, did we ever get to the bottom of where Saddam Hussein hid his Weapons of Mass Destruction?
Trump really needs a good war under his belt to become Presidential...
I'd honestly be very surprised if Boeing did any upgrades on equipment right out of that particular facility, though I could be mistaken. I know that they modify Navy aircraft to the latest hardware revisions down in Florida. I've been to the facility personally. They modify certain Army helicopters in Arizona. They have facilities all over the US that specialize in specific aircraft and, to my knowledge, only do the commercial stuff out of WA.
First, yes, Boeing does work on the 135's at Boeing Field, drive by sometime.
Second, this isn't a Boeing plane. There are other things going on there. It's named "Boeing Field", but there are a number of small and large companies operating out of Boeing Field.
Boeing Field is where a lot of mods for military plane are done. Operational flights do not take place from Boeing Field. Most likly what's going on is the plane is undergoing mods and they are testing these mods in the local area. See my informed post below, I work in Mission Planning at McChord.

If this were an operational flight, more likly the plane would be down at McChord Field, where I work. We do have the 22 Special Forces here at McChord, but spy planes, usually the big 135 mods, fly in and out of here all the time. Sometimes they stay a few days, who knows what they are up to.
It's interesting that someone spotted this, but the whole "spying on Seattle" thing is a joke. That's not what's happening.
I suppose this is "news", but I also suppose it should have been (and for many, was) assumed. And I'll bet the NSA and the foreign equivalents are not the only ones that thought of this obvious source...
I hate Shkreli as much as the next internet person, but let's not wish rape on the guy.
Why not? His actions with respect to how he has marketed the pharmaceuticals he controls have caused much pain and suffering for many many people. His punishment must punative.
Justice == punish people I don't like because I don't like them?
They punished him for securities fraud. The fact that he's openly an asshole didn't help his case, but he still commited a serious crime for which he was convicted.
Not a bad idea, if one is afraid of the browser quitting any time and eating that composing time w/ it. A lot of people, after being burned, adapted this policy. And yeah, it's perfectly legitimate to scream about Unicode: Android, iOS and even Windows 10 supports it, but Slashdot doesn't. And renders posts in ridiculous ways out here.
Actually, I *did* type it in Word on Windows 10, but what's interesting is I pasted it into Notepad and replaced all the Unicode, but apprently Notepad really didn't replace them...
It sounds like an interesting tool, and if I needed those features in the âoeProfessionalâ, $24 a year would probably be worth it. And if not? Well, there are alternatives. Seriously, whatâ(TM)s the aim of a âoestoryâ like this? Shame that a company needs to make money on a product? Arenâ(TM)t we beyond the âoeeverything has to be free as in beerâ mentality? I know itâ(TM)s shocking and all, but this as earth-shaking as the last story which should be re-titled âoeProfessional Shill with Bias Promotes Commercial Product to Fight the Evils of Tor!â
I'm afraid this is one of those we don't have a law related to this guy doing things that are legal but morally wrong so we're going to pick through everything until we can find something to nail him with.
So what? He committed the crimes he was convicted of, none of which are minor crimes. The prosecutors used the tools available to them to take a piece of shit who doesn't belong in a civilized society and put him in a place where he will perhaps learn some humility. Oh who am I kidding, I hope he bunks with an HIV+ weight lifter that likes cute "bros".
ESET... Not a clue. But The Google tells me it's some anti-virus solution from Slovakia... So right off the bat, I'm not trusting them as an unbiased source. But really I stopped reading when that the guy pontificating is and "evangelist", which are usuanlly some sort of über zealot which, again, is not the way to aquire unbiased information...
The website hosting and any sort of manuscript-handling software licensing fees would likely only run a few hundred dollars per year.
Been involved with any web site that has any kind of traffic at all? Yeah, connectivity with a decent sized pipe and possibly a CDN, that costs a little money.
I know this isn't at the level of what you'd see in a James Bond movie, but neither is the Sentry safe.
Exactly. The story quote is:
a leading-brand combination safe,
My thought having worked with some mid-range GSA approved classified document safes and gun safes is that a Sentry is to safes as an inexpensive Master combination lock is to locks...
But the idea of how it was "cracked" is nifty none the less.
New York's move "puts pressure on other U.S. cities to follow suit," the article also points out.
Does it? Of course, says the company pushing it. But not all cities will take the bait. Seattle citizens would probably have a fucking cow; when the city tried to install a mesh network downtown to enhance emergency response, the uproar resulted in all the installed equipment being taken out.
Fiduciary duty does not mean, profits above all else.
Nice platitude, but in all practicality, here in the US and quite often elsewhere -... cough...Volkswagon...cough... - it DOES mean profits above all else.

I'm thinking this could be great for Australia with their big Road Trains...

Of course that's not true.
No GPS, only maps? Are you insane? THAT'S A SUICIDE MISSION!

Why, does he have anallergy to penises?
I think he just bought a company that makes chastity belts... The price just went through the roof.
