All we know is that one person who didn't understand posted. It's entirely possible some 10,000 other readers completely understood the original comment.
According to my republican acquaintances, money actually is fairly distributed (everyone who is well off deserves it through their hard work and skilled investing, and the poor are either stupid or lazy and deserve to be poor), provided government stops heavily taxing the wealthy, as that is unfair.
I didn't know there even was a new Hawaii 5-0 show out, but I can't help but think how funny and realistic it would be if the person told to "Bing it!" would reply something like "What?! Do you mean Google it? Who the heck uses Bing?"
I suppose everything's relative, but just for kicks, you should try flying your plane through some other substances, like brick walls, metal walls, or heck, even a tent wall and see if those clouds don't seem relatively harmless. Feel free to try flying through other things like a mountain or an ocean as well...
Of course it isn't ruined for one with sufficient technical skills, but for the average user, it is unless they want to pay someone else to fix it. And some techs are better at removing all of the viruses than others. Also, there is the matter of the user's personal data and apps.
I was going to say something about Datsun 210, 310, 510, etc. but then I realized Datsun renamed to Nissan and the cars now have names for the most part.
I'll agree with your assessment with my experiences with repairing people's malware infested PCs.
Some 90% of the time I'll find limewire on these computers and can trace the viruses' origin to some song the user tried to download for free. It's astounding how many people ruin their computers - that cost a few hundred dollars - trying to save a few dollars by downloading a few songs for free.
A lot depends on what the individual has done in his position. There could be master passwords for networking equipment, and changing those passwords should be trivial, but it could impact monitoring scripts. And really, automated scripts are where closing accounts or changing passwords could bite a new administrator in the ass. Who knows what hidden problems could crop up once you make a change, and since you can't read the current password, some of those broken scripts could end up unfixable without a complete rewrite. Granted perfect documentation and best practices would solve this, but that's not always the case if your IT worker is over-worked.
Where did you get the "6 out of 10... Have copies of companies assets in their possession. OR physical assets of the company still in their possession." quote? I didn't see it in the linked article, and even if it was, could a paperclip or pen be considered a "company asset in their possession"?
I do agree that people stealing confidential databases (or losing laptops with that data) are the bigger threats.
I wouldn't be surprised if that 10% is more a theoretical number of "could" log in if necessary than "did" log in. I think it shows how trustworthy IT professionals are as a group.
The crazy thing is that they were so hung up on security on everything else that some of the upper management would keep important documents on a floppy disk in the filing cabinet because "It can't be stolen if it isn't online"!
That's funny. I've seen dozens of instances of floppy discs becoming unreadable. The best is when it's towards the end of a 23 or so disc MS Office install.
That was actually my point and why I have no hope of ever trying to convince anyone of anything discussing politics. It's impossible to compete with self-inflicted brainwashing via tv and radio.
It's worse than that. Democracy actively selects for lying asshats, so even if you are smart and have good ideas you'll be beaten by the charismatic psychopath promising bread and circuses paid for with your neighbour's money (or, these days, money borrowed from the Chinese).
Ah, you're talking about Reagan and both Bushs, only instead of neighbors, it'd be all the poor in the ghettos and the middleclass not living near their exclusive ranches or in their gated communities helping the rich get richer. Or did you think their money comes from trees?
I like that idea. You could even have dual UAVs electronically linked together such that they each have a single camera and use the images for stereo vision. By varying the distance of the two UAVs from each other and their positions, you could duplicate the effect of looking down at a model town.
The side-channel analysis was the most fascinating blurb in this article. Thanks for sharing how this works. Are all PDAs so RF noisy in their processing? Have you considered using this technique on some modern smart phones?

Basically it shows how easy it is to make up "facts" about your opponents and sway public opinion.
Someone who keeps making his own bombs is likely to blow himself up soon. That's what happened to a classmate back in highschool -- put a quick end to his promising football career.

Those pirates should be ashamed of themselves for breaking software terms and conditions while distributing their trojans.
There you have it. They're trying to get a monopoly on chicken!

yes, because nobody has ever stolen credit card numbers from a LAMP server.

If your server is running some version of linux, you can use rsnapshot for versioning.

See, it applies to both sides. heh.

they want to get rid of NPR
I would ask who would they then scapegoat as left-wing media, but then i remembered that to fox viewers, *all* media other than fox is left-wing.
From what I've seen other posters mention, as a work around, you can use the tag for italics.
I just hope they aren't so small they get lost, like both of my sd to usb adapters: http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0313669
