Obviously this is for when you are watching high-power-needing shows like Survivor. Do you realize how much amplification power it takes to get those pictures off that far-away tiny island?
And then there's porn. Some of those shows are so hot that the connection cables are overheating. So that's the other reason you need Monster Cables (Ka-boom!)
I think I'll take 50x my deductions next year, lose all of the supporting receipts, and use that as the reason. If it works for one of their Directors, then it should work for me. After all, she's "Protecting the integrity of tax-exempt organizations" so her overall direction of SJH must be indicating a new government directive.
Not quite. An completely isolated breast or two is just fine as long as long as the slasher with the bloody knife soon loses interest and finds a better target.
There is no encryption or security architecture that beats not having the data.
YES! I agree completely, because sometimes you just don't have the data. --Your Friendly IRS branch audit store. Stop by and we'll check each other out!
One of my favorite lines (gleaned from a post here as a matter of fact) is, do you really expect to win a rigged game by playing by the rules?

If you're afraid of following problem/complaint escalation procedures upwards, that sounds more of like an overall management problem to me. (Now he still could have been stupid, lazy, not cared, or just a troll out to get attention; but at this point I'm more than willing to give him the benefit of the doubt here.)
I'll join the chorus of people speculating about them getting a court order they couldn't bring themselves to follow.
I think that's exactly wrong -- I think he DID follow the court order and actually gave up the keys.
And therein lies:-) the trick: in order to keep them from actually using their new keys to create TC-NextGen -- with New! and Improved! Holes for Your Convenience! -- he trashed the brand. Now, *NO ONE* will trust new versions of TC.
"I gave you the keys just like the order said. But you never said that I couldn't make any new version worthless."
This is an analog to a groups' public secretary who in every meeting says they haven't received an NSL, and then in one fine meeting doesn't say that.
Lets see who now up-and-disappears on some weird charge.
I am a physician
in residency, and yes, from time to time I'll look up something on wikipedia... for a quick overview
I've never understood people and Wikipedia -- Really. It's great as a "Beginner's Kit", a lightweight "X for Dummies" book for just about any topic, but that's it.
You read it to become familiar with general concepts and terminology so that when you read an actual article about it you have a better start of understanding it. I think it's great for overviews and reviews, but that's as far as it goes. Real understanding is elsewhere.
You don't glance over a Wiki article, become an instant expert, and then start operating on me, my cat, my house, or my finances -- well, for things *I* control, anyway.
If I wanted a beginner to do it, then I'll do it: "Here, hold my beer and watch this..."
FTFY: The sad truth is the majority of Americans, at least the stereotype I apply to them, is...
THAT. Exactly that.
For about a year now, every time I hear grandiose statements of "The Truth Is..." from anybody, I replace that in my head with "I think the truth is..." and articles and their bias suddenly make a bit more sense.
Truth is a hard enough subject in math or logic classes, and even more-so outside them.

You could leave admission free as a loss-leader, then charge for refreshments, housing, and other long term care items, including, no reason at all, Roundup and machetes.
Warn your guests not to stand or sit in any one place for too long though, or they might become a bit more "One with Nature" than they were expecting.
"Researchers have disclosed a new zero day vulnerability in Internet Explorer 8... The ZDI has a policy of disclosing vulnerability details after 180 days if the vendor hasn't produced a patch.
So then wouldn't that make it a minus 180 day vuln instead? </snark>
Oh -- it was found 180d ago so that's be a plus 180. Wrong orientation base there, sorry.
There is NO reason for HFT firms to lay their own fiber or microwave connections unless it provides them some huge informational advantage.
Not quite one to argue, but: no reason at all? Really? Have YOU even called Comcast for internet technical support?
Hell, I'm thinking of running my OWN fiber just so I don't have to deal with those script-readers.
My cable router set the house on fire.
Sir, have you tried rebooting Windows?
The fire department is hosing it down right now.
But sir, have you tried unplugging and then plugging it back in again?
NO, I haven't. See: http://youhadbetterknow.com/kn...
Instant gratification vs delayed gratification vs trusting sources perhaps you shouldn't. I think people like to think that hard work and sacrifice always pay off. If you're lucky it does, if not you're like the farmer with their crops eaten by bugs / destroyed by hail / pick a disaster. You survive and try to plan so that it doesn't happen again.
Just because you want it and wave your hands doesn't always make it so, Mr. Picard.
(NSA) Agent Smith: Tell me, Mr. Anderson... what good is a phone call (to warn people about Heartbleed)... if you're unable to speak?
That being said, I don't blame the NSA about all this... the TECHIES, anyway. It's management that's supposed to be wise. Then again, we haven't had any wise people in any higher offices for decades.
Slightly back on topic: what's wrong with superglue,duck tape, and chewing gum again? And when can I buy these over the counter embedded in BAND-AID(tm)s?
I love the movie but HATE that saying from Jurassic Park. (Snippet here.)
It does, unless it doesn't.
Concrete example? Let's just ask the dinosaurs... (They've had their time? But I though you said they could find a way.) Or, lets ask starfish about something odd that's currently attacking part of the population.. Something's out to get them; hopefully the starfish can mount defenses.
"What doesn't kill me makes me stronger" is a much better quote, I think -- but notice that living is one of two options. And in any case evolution doesn't care a whit about individuals.
Finally, a life that you better hope doesn't find a way: ebola. (Virus vs Life discussion, anyone?)
The real question is who added this particular provision,
Oh, I'm sure that the statute of limitations for that has run out for them....
That being said: it's a law. It's written in the books, and has been. ENFORCE IT, PERIOD;THAT'S THE IRS'S JOB in this case.
It really isn't their fault they've been given offensive and annoying rules. The only thing that should be under review is to make sure they're asking the larger debt owners first.
Now, for the legislators who enacted this fine piece? Let's (all!) have a discussion and a vote.
And really, I can see the overall CongressCritters being told "here's what that does", while the sponsor hashes out all of those nagging details for an actual vote. And after all, the general policy from one of the leaders is "We'll have to pass it to find out what's in it" -- I don't suppose this concept is anything new for them.
It's just like when I do a final code test and review to make sure things are in order, and then fix something while it goes into production. It's only a wafer thin mint.

Why would anyone pay attention to what a Dell talking head has to say?
DUUUude, that's harsh.

Yes, because they're our Vampiric Masters* and we cannot refuse their any whim. (Catches fly.)

One. Two. Three.
I'd bet the NSA has all of them. They collect everyone's.
Apparently someone's done just that: Congressman Steve Stockman (R, TX)
this place is a fucking terror state and does this to people every day.
But there's this annoying site that disagrees with you.
Oh, my mistake -- you said terror, not crime.
It's a story that was written to match the data.
