That is perhaps the biggest shame, because often moving things to the cloud instead of reinventing the server farm is a good business decision, good for the economy, and the way of the future, if it wasn't for the government's usual meddling retardation of progress.
The audit does, however, note that the EDA's IT infrastructure was so badly managed and insecure that no attacker would need sophisticated attacks to compromise the agency's systems.
If your competition cuts working hours to 30 to avoid healthcare costs, it they can then keep their prices lower than yours, you have to too or you're out of business. You can't rely on the goodness of people's hearts in capitalism.
The obvious way to solve that problem to make yet another regulation that forces employers to give employees at least 30 hours of work a week. However, that would just lead to even more unemployment. Wage and price controls never work. We need to have a system that doesn't depend on the goodness of people's hearts.
Counter-intuitively, that's probably an even freer market. Let's lower the barriers to hiring and try to reach full employment. Once there, employers will need to compete for workers by offering better pay etc., and the whole standard of life thing lifts itself up by its bootstraps, not by force and regulations. History, and the present day shows this over and over. There's no easy shortcut to riches just by making laws and relying on altruism.
SD cards are surprisingly durable. While diving, I've recovered cameras that have been lost underwater for years and the flash cards work fine. I don't know about heat resistance, though, or how hot it might get in that firebox.
Don't listen to the crotchety old bitter nerds around here who hate cars. Autonomous personal transportation would be a GOOD thing for the future gearhead. Why? Look at the big picture!
- You will still be able to drive your car by yourself, just like you can still ride a horse or buggy if you really want to. Even better, driving yourself won't even be that much slower than an autonomous vehicle, unlike a horse. It would probably be faster than driving is today even, because there would be less slow morons holding up traffic! And the ones who are manually driving like driving and are probably good at it.
- It will be much less likely for you to be in an accident, because all the other cars drive perfectly. So, even if your insurance is higher than for an autonomous vehicle, it will still be lower overall!
- Just driving your own car, in a day when almost nobody else has drivers licenses any more, will be cool. Just like today barely anyone knows how to ride a horse or motorcycle. Those few who can have a cool/badass factor. Further, you will have more of a "cowboy" mystique like who can ride his horse places that no car can get to, because you can drive a 4x4 or dirtbike anywhere, not just on roads that are on Google Maps.
- With ubiquitous autonomous taxis, no longer will you have to waste time and money repairing and maintaining your boring daily driver. Instead, all that effort can be focused on your hot rod, classic car, or 4x4. And you won't need extra spots in the garage or own redundant vehicles just in case one breaks down or more than one family member at a time wants to go somewhere!
- Ubiquitous autonomous taxis would drive the market toward more standard, cost effective, more easily repairable vehicles that don't change year-to-year like the fashion items that are on showroom floors these days. This will make it much more easier to be a mechanic, and to have more productivity. Today, guys who are the mechanics for the cops, taxis, or buses probably have the most steady, easiest mechanic jobs because they have mastered the repairs and maintenance on a uniform fleet of Crown Victorias (or whatever). Other mechanics get paid $20/hour but the shop has to charge $100/hour because the ever-changing automotive models need expensive different special tools and computers all the time.
So the sky is not falling! If you look up you'll see the rainbows and unicorns!
There must be plenty of.onion torrent indexers, not that I've checked because you can still access all the largest indexes quickly and easily with DNS.
(Sobstory warning) Yeah. I bought some bitcoins a couple years ago to use to try to develop a new escrow service for them. I never felt good enough about that project to launch it, though.
They went up in value to $800, so I listened to Slashdot and sold them when they were worth about 1/10 as much as they would be today. Back then, the only way to get your money out of Bitcoins for a Canadian was from Mt. Gox to Liberty Reserve, then to private traders. I gradually traded $200 of that LR out for cash and was going to use the last $600 to help pay for tuition this fall.
But oh well, the little guy always gets screwed in the end. I'm sure the real criminals got their money out before LR went down. I was too busy with real life.
Well, since West, TX is 20 miles from Waco, and it's almost the 20th anniversary of the Waco siege of April 19th 1993, I assume that's where the antichrist will be making his appearance tomorrow.
I don't understand why there is this glut of lawyers. Why even after law school can't people become lawyers? All the lawyers I've seen seem overworked and charge $200+ an hour. Can't they just pass the bar and open up shop? Why has the middle class been locked out of this profession?
I can't mod, but you hit the nail on the head. If everything had to be done by the book, nothing would EVER get done due to the law of diminishing returns.

You can shop around ahead of time.
And make that secure?

Really? Just make something a sin and you can put a tax on it. Works every time.

Are you ascertaining that the dates are certain because they're certain to be uncertain?
You should join our anti-government group on Facebook.
So your European clothes were worth $10,000 back in the US? Who wanted to dress like who?

They're just playing a game of whack-a-mole.
They don't even need to bother differentiating between stupid and lawful evil. If they're evil enough they're bound to make money somehow.
Mistake #1: Betting against Elon Musk.

Can someone remind me which is the good one? OpenBSD or FreeBSD?
For those interested, I recommend Governing Lethal Behavior in Autonomous Robots, by Ronald Arkin.
If your life depends on it, would you rather buy a server from IBM or Lenovo?
Be civil.
Not that I'll be using it, but let me go out on a limb and say Google Glass is AWESOME. Alright you cynics, who shall cast the first stone?
