Especially illegals who can afford smartphones with data plans?
You must not be a Republican than. President Obama gave illegals government-issued iPhone with data plans for years now. I want to sign up for the program but none one will give me a link. It's not fair that I have to pay $80 per month for my iPhone when the government is giving these out for free like candy.
Dear IRS... here is a database of people that don't pay taxes.
Some of those people do pay taxes. I had to file for unemployment benefits a few years ago and discovered that someone used my social security number for employment purposes. The only thing in between my name and the other person's name was the first and last initials. I had to contact the unemployment office to get my benefits readjusted, notified social security that extra funds were credited to my account, and get a PIN from the IRS for filing taxes. As a precaution, I requested new debit and credit cards.
A fresh install of Windows is not the same as letting it run for a while without any maintenance. I've been known to screw the pooch on a fresh install, especially if the hardware was newer than the OS. Sounds like you have a bad hard drive.
Every system should be planned for. If a Windows 2003 Server is still on the network at my job, a planned exemption is on file to postpone removal for 30 days or gets pulled off the network. The server owner has six months to migrate to 2008 or 2012, but some people insist on dragging their feet and waiting until they have no choice. The process is somewhat easier these days as all the servers are virtualized across a server farm.
When a department gets downsized for one reason or another at my government job, the department manger is supposed to turn in all the unused workstations for redeployment or recycling. They typically don't. A favorite hiding space is the utility closet inside a women restroom. All the field techs are male. Go figure.
These update problems make me guess that it's the same than before: blue screen twice a day, you have to restart computer even after changing a small setting, laggy and slow desktop, malware quickly conquers your computer, driver problems, reinstall of operating system every month?
I haven't seen any of those problems since Windows Vista came out. Of course, I take care of my Windows PCs with proper maintenance. Most people don't do any kind of maintenance, encounter all kinds of problems, and then blame Microsoft rather than take personal responsibility.
Air Force General Hawk Carlisle, head of Air Combat Command, explains how the mission was made possible. âoeThe guys that were working down out of Hurlburt, they're combing through social media and they see some moron standing at this command. And in some social media, open forum, bragging about the command and control capabilities for Daesh, ISIL. And these guys go: 'We got an in.' So they do some work, long story short, about 22 hours later through that very building, three [Joint Direct Attack Munitions] take that entire building out.â
Having the authority for formally start a process to declassify something is not the same thing as having the authority to ignore classification at her whim.
Wouldn't it suck if the staffer submitted the written request to the Information Security Officer on duty and got approval to strip the security headers? Proof! Another smoking gun email goes up in smoke.
Your comment If the CIA classified my grocery list shows you have never worked in this environment.
I should have contacted the Information Security Officer on duty to request that the CIA declassify my grocery list because it was based on publicly available information (i.e., Food King weekly flyer). No reason for me to starve to death because the CIA has nothing better.
You're confusing single player games with multiplayer games like quake.
Many FPS have single-player and multiplayer game modes. If the game doesn't have a good single-player mode, I'm not interested. I rarely ever play multiplayer mode unless it has a sniper rifle and I can snipe as I run around. Nothing infuriates an opponent than a head shot on the run.
You get sentimental over games from when you were a kid.
As I've gotten older, I'm less inclined to pay $60 for a PC game. I can wait a few years to buy the same title for 20 bucks or less on Steam. I may have even replaced the video card to play the game in its AAA glory.
Maybe this link will provide some insights. Although it doesn't mention who declassifies information, it's reasonable to assume that the person who has the authority to classify information can also declassify information.
In the State Department, original classification authority for top secret info goes to the secretary of state or anyone the secretary has said -- in writing -- can do the job. Past examples include: "Deputy Secretaries, the Under Secretaries, the Counselor, Assistant Secretaries and equivalents; Chiefs of Mission and U.S. representatives to international organizations."
Secret or classified information is decided on by the secretary and/or a senior agency official, who can give classification power to others in writing as well.
Your whole thought process is about protecting your ego.
Sorry, I'm not Donald Trump. I was pointing to a fact that I learned elsewhere in this mind-blowing discussion on Slashdot. Take it with a grain of salt.
The SOS cannot unilaterally decide to remove the classified label on information.
The talking points were derived from classified information on a classified network for release to the public at large. If she's not able to turn classified information into non-classified information, she would never be allowed to speak in public. Her job is to communicate to the American public as to what is going on in the world at large.

That's why I ditched the cloud and moved my data by to a local file server. If the Internet is down, I can still access my data and keep on working.
Bull hockey... And don't forget the children!

What you suggest *may* be reasonable for an IT professional.
My solution as an I.T. professional is to reimage the computer.
It's not reasonable for any other group.
Running the disk defragger and anti-virus scanner each month is asking too much.
It's Yugo. Quality counts.
I read that not once, but twice, as "I'm used to being PC." I guffawed.
I want to be a Mac. But my insurance doesn't cover those kinds of computational operations.
Now explain how this is possible and my fault?
A fresh install of Windows is not the same as letting it run for a while without any maintenance. I've been known to screw the pooch on a fresh install, especially if the hardware was newer than the OS. Sounds like you have a bad hard drive.
Pro tip: *every* system is broken.

What's with. the random periods. in your sentences?
A double space on the iPhone virtual keyboard becomes a period. Type too fast, random periods appear.

Whoosh!
I'm using a PC. That's why I gave my advice. ;)
What we need is more rigour on posting updates to stories where the facts change while the story is still fresh.
Like how The New York Times kept changing the content of an exclusive story on its website?
http://www.poynter.org/2015/new-york-times-changes-its-hillary-clinton-story-again/360545/
And suddenly, it's like, "BEEP BEEP BEEP" and then, like, half my blog post was gone.
You should have composed your blog post in a separate text file, copy and paste into WordPress editor, and finalized the blog post.
Oh, were you being sarcastic?
Not based on the story I read about.
Air Force General Hawk Carlisle, head of Air Combat Command, explains how the mission was made possible. âoeThe guys that were working down out of Hurlburt, they're combing through social media and they see some moron standing at this command.

I'm making the presumption that the analysts spent some time searching for the specific location and not trying to find some misplaced bombs.
Suck it.
These manufactured scandals don't have a great track record. How is the Benghazi investigation?

There are laws about how to declassify information and it's not just "because the SOS said so".
You did read that link first before posting?
The Chairman, Vice Chairman, and Executive Director exercise downgrading and declassification authority in the FERC.
I was not aware that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission set the classification standards for the State Department.
