Remember when talking to someone face-to-face was our facebook?
Yeah, it was much better back then. No constant worrying about our collective statuses and what we did over the weekend that was fun to do in real life. We just got together and did things TOGETHER, in real life.
Life was much more enriching when you actually looked the person in the eye you were talking to, and had an actual CONVERSATION.
Someone over at NASA, and government agencies in general, need to seriously step-up their security team.
Hire people that can effectively put a system in place to secure their networks, data, and disposition of old equipment. Monitor your networks and data, put systems and people place that can predict and respond to security issues.
My assumption is that NASA is so budget-constrained, and has so many wasteful expenditures that security gets left to the wayside and then things like this happen (if it indeed DID happen.)
Time to abort the mission until we can verify the mission's security has not been compromised.
With coffee - broccoli, green/black/white tea, soybeans, red grapes, turmeric, rosemary, garlic, berries and eating a plant-based high-fiber diet helps as well to ward-off cancer.
Japan is now on the fast-track for new green, renewable technologies after this latest disaster.
Let's hope that they can help save the planet and themselves with their ingenuity, precision and technological advances.
A better punishment would have been to make him perform community service where he has to work for free for a certain number of hours fixing people's networks and eliminating THEIR downtime. That might have been a better solution.
At first, I read:
"Gliese 581d orbits on the outer fringes of the star's 'Goldilocks zone', where it is not so hot that water boils away, nor so cold that water is perpetually frozen. Instead, the temperature is just right for water to exist in liquid form."
But then I also read:
"The denser air and thick clouds would keep the surface in a perpetual murky red twilight, and its large mass means that surface gravity would be around double that on Earth....A spaceship travelling close to light speed would take more than 20 years to get there, while our present rocket technology would take 300,000 years."
Can't we find a more habitable planet closer to home that has water, and is reachable within say, 2 months?
I don't see the 'disparity' as much of educational opportunity as economic opportunity. Look at all the college graduates who can not find a decent job.
The gap between the super rich and the poor & middle class is very large, and getting bigger. This is the real disparity.
"If one group loses a favorite tax dodge, the system would seek a rebalancing of others to compensate."
How about we make EVERYONE pay taxes and stop allowing tax-dodging in the first place?
Maybe THEN we could balance the budget and get back to fiscal sanity.
How can we make profits without actually doing any work or producing anything of value?
How can we make revenue off of other people's work and businesses?
I know! Threaten people and make stuff up!
"Captain's Personal Log, Stardate 4309.2. We have established that the thing which destroyed the USS Intrepid and the NGC 1365 system is an incredibly huge but simple cellular being whose energies are totally destructive to all known life."
Maybe the obscurity of these past devices is the reason that this one could potentially flop. Or, maybe people just don't like using PCs with 4 inch screens.

Agreed, basically what I wrote below :)

Lesson learned?

The most important fact in this whole article of fiction.
The Government Communications Headquarters is fortifying its defences in the war against hackers...which, for all they know, could be YOU!
Don't try anything funny...but, don't worry, if you aren't doing anything wrong, there is nothing to worry about.
Keep calm, carry on...just always know YOU are being WATCHED.
Now they're just too damn hard to operate properly. Try a candle.
...and turn off Wi-Fi. Don't let your 'smartphone' become a 'dumbphone'
Only use it for emergencies and throwing angry birds.
Didn't you see 'Total Recall' ?
We can bring technology there to terraform the planet!

Nobody cares! That's who!
Wait, what?
...a drug to help with the depressive side effects of internet addiction?
If so, I would like to take the whole day off without ever entering my office space.
...a Guido 'Guy' Fawkes mask?
I didn't know that something called 'Anonymous' could have something called 'public' - seems nonsensical.
So where's my 'dislike' icon?

This barred-spiral structure makes the Milky Way look a lot like NGC 1365.
Here is what it might look like:

Yeah, Microsoft just decided to give up and hack their own machines in order to fix them...permanently.
