Overhead LED lights on a rack are just as bad. In the models I've seen, the lights are not replaceable. You just go out and buy a new rack, which will look different than the old one since that one was discontinued shortly after you bought it. You won't mind painting the ceiling again because the transformer block is now a different size.
Congress and the Administration are getting paid not to get the word. Let's make those coal jobs great again....oh, those are being automated away. Let's devalue science and scientists because experts don't know nothin'.
OK...new rule, the U.S. will henceforth cut itself off from the rest of the world's internet. By G-d, we'll stop'em. Go get'em Shiva!!! Pass me some ammunition!!
Yeah!!! Let's sacrifice the South Korean and Japanese. We'll show them we mean business....oh...wait a minute...they are our allies...maybe we should ask permission first before we rain nuclear fallout on their countries.
I see. So if someone, say you (to pick and individual at random), gets his tail caught in crack, someone should blow you into the next universe? How civilized of you.
Federal, much less, State courts cannot banish some one to Gitmo. And Gitmo isn't large enough even if you could get the legislation through Congress and said legislation is probably unconstitutional.
Now go back and eat your Cherrios, so you'll grow big and strong and get a law degree.
Easy. There are no laws to prevent companies like EquiFax from sucking up your information and selling it to the highest bidder or having it pilfered by the lowest scum.
The Republicans are big believers in "business", they won't rein in companies like this. The Libretards believe information wants to be free. The Democrats will write new legislation each year for the next 10 years and still not solve the problem.
And the problem is: you want a loan or credit, who vouches for your background? There is a market there and it is going to be filled. The only issue is how secure is that information. Hanging the company officials won't stop the information getting pissed away. They'll simply get better lawyers.
Better translation: Yes senator I understand what you are saying, but if I say that then I will look like I purposely screwed the pooch...on the other hand, if I look clueless, then I've not said anything wrong that I, and more importantly, my paycheck and golden parachute, can be held in jeopardy over.
And even knowing their data is third hand, they still suck at verifying it. They still thought I lived in my old residence that I moved from 10 years ago. I didn't correct them because I don't believe in feeding the trolls.
And when it does go pear-shaped the C-suite still doesn't know how to prevent the software from being poorly written, poorly managed, poorly understood, and completely under-appreciated. It would cost money to fix, it would also cost re-organization. However, if they knew how to reorganize to fix the problems, they'd have already done it. Instead, they are like the deer that gets whacked by a car, hops up, and then claims it was experimental error and goes ahead to stare into the next set of headlights.
While I agree with your statement these hearings are necessary for Congress to know how to write the laws, I also suspect Congress is fully aware of the ad copy attempting to show they are on top of a critical problem. Whether they do anything is debatable. If the current tax bill is any indication, we know how much big business can count on Congress to make them feel better about themselves....and their profits.
He's not in prison because he's done nothing against the law. The law here is a problem, idiot CEOs are another problem. And if I was CEO of a company that just got rifled of all the valuable bits, I'd be damn sure I was on top of the solutions and would be able to answer whether the data is currently being encrypted. However, I suspect he does indeed know that it isn't, but he's almost but not quite stupid enough to answer truthfully, so he claims he doesn't know.
Trump level stupid is beyond that, he cannot even recall the lies he's told in the past so he keep stepping on his crank. He cannot read through any of the legislation he supports so he's constantly contradicting the positions in that legislation. That's not just undermining his own interest, that's too stupid to realize he undermining his own interests. Hell, even attributing "interests" to him beyond honking on about himself seems ludicrous.
If he's a lying sack of shit like his Commerce Secretary Ross (claimed to be worth a few billions, Forbes discovered he'd been lying for years and the max he could have is $700 million, and they aren't sure he has that), I doubt Trump is worth as much as his mouth said he was.
Not really, we came here to through some of the rocks back at IBM that they have been filling their employees Christmas stockings with. What goes around, comes around.

I see, and the Iraqis with U.S. support somehow doesn't count? Or the Kurds with U.S. support? C'mon comrade, you can do better than that.
The research for Tor was developed at NRL as well.

Radiation...fallout...prevailing winds....cancer in America. See a progression doofus?

All the people that worked with those other companies and software no longer work at IBM. They have the institutional memory of a gnat.

You forgot support. And the updates that will inevitably be necessary.
I give up what about MS's thingy is advanced?

Zombie mosquitoes? Now there is a horror flick.
Your tax dollars at work, countering mosquito born diseases after they've already infected the populace.
Some pacemakers run Linux. I wonder if Stallman had one of these, he'd be happy to advertise the root password.
