It was great to watch Hillary say she wished 'all' the emails could come out, and her supporter said cheered her on. Then Trump asked whoever had the 'missing' to release them it was collision!
I'm still amazed that the hackers were able to penetrate Podesta's iron wall of security on his gmail account - I mean he used a totally secure password of "password". Seriously, he couldn't even add a capital "P"?
Democrats all but encouraged the hacking of their servers - not actually, but nearly - as demonstrated by their weak security practices.
The reason Hillary lost the election was because her supporters were too concentrated in too few states.
When her husband ran for President in 1992 and 1996 he and his campaign understood what every 10th grade civics student knows, that we elect Presidents via the Electoral College, not popular vote.
Montana doesn't operate schools on a state level, you would know this if you were familiar with the government.
Obviously, you are not.
I worked in public school K-12 IT for a handful of years, albeit not in Montana. The issue is the gov. implemented requirements for ISP access purchased with state dollars, and as you pointed out, the money that funds the schools is not state funds, so then this decision has no impact on the ISP services purchased by public schools. So this provides no NN protection for the kids in schools.
It also pretty common for municipalities to negotiate "free" internet access for public offices when they "award" monopolies to cable, telco companies to provide access - will those relationships be severed, even though there is no state money involved? So does this provide any NN protections for state workers?
So if state workers aren't impacted, and public school students aren't impacted, what, exactly is the upside? Who does this action protect?
Because it's California? Your state has a history of letting voters change state regulations on a selfish whim, like when the voters decided homeowners insurance was too expensive, so they passed a legally-binding referendum to lower premiums, which drove insurers out of the the state.
The rub is going to be internet services funded by federal eRate subsidies - will schools that pay for their internet services be limited to only those providers that meet state purchasing requirements? Not sure, since the state isn't finding the purchase, it likely has no say - since this is only a contractual requirement.
It's all well and good that the state is doing nothing more than setting requirements for vendors it deals with, but what if none decide to play the state's game? What is the fallback position, is the state going to establish it's own ISP just for government use? Are they going to try and use these new requirements to back out of existing multi-year contracts with ISPs?
There's a very real chance (IMHO) that Montana doesn't wield the clout with ISIs it thinks it does.
It will be interesting how this will play out with eRate grants from the federal government - eRate is federal money spent by schools, libraries to subsidize internet access - being federal, not state money these state requirements won't apply... Or will they?
Apparently it's difficult to get pregnant if you never leave the house.
Yeah, because your daughter's bedroom is an inpenetrable fortress, rendering her completely cut off from the outside world - at least until her hair grows long enough that her boyfriend can scale the castle side with it...
Because the system can only send one of a small number of pre-defined messages and apparently "my bad... ignore the previous message" wasn't one of them.
FTFY
Somehow, 38 minutes later, they somehow managed to send the 'all clear' over the self-same system. Did programmers add an additional message, test it, then roll it into production in those 38 minutes, or did it take 38 minutes to find the [More] button to provide the operator with access to the 'all clear, no problem' message option?
the reason president spray tan is saying this is a) obama's administration pledged to support the station long into the next decade, with some contracts already extending to 2028.. obama supported it, so it must be stopped. that is this administration's platform. undo everything.
I bet you don't even see it, do you?
President Obama says (quoting you), "to support the station long into the next decade, with some contracts already extending to 2028" and he's a hero...
President Trump pledges to support the ISS thru 2025 and he's a fucking moron with no clue what he's doing...
Tell me, what's the significance of those few contracts that President Obama pledged to support for three short years longer than President Trump?
I suspect there is none, but your passion to defend President Obama's positions against President Trump's slightly different position on the ISS is just as nonsensical as the position you accuse Trump of.
Possession of photographs of under-age children engaged in sexual activities is a crime, has been for a long time. For the past decade or two people have been able to store photos on their phone. The ability to store possibly incriminating photos on your phone does NOT mean the police have a "reasonable suspicion to open EVERYONE'S phone" to see if they have child sex photos on them.
The possibility that evidence exists somewhere - on a device, in a drawer, etc. - does not give the police probable cause to search that drawer, device, etc.
Also how long till "apple approved" services can import this data, like WebMD above or other crackpot sites and we end up with some huge HIPPA related data leak.
You think I would trust any COMPANY to guard any of my data.
I think your complaint isn't so much with "any COMPANY" so much as the physical security of your personal device - your smartphone with your banking or medical history falling into the wrong hands. All the data you want to protect is already in the hands of a "COMPANY".
Somebody who's not in my whitelist, can't even call me, or ring my door bell. (Yes, it takes into account cops and emergency services.)
How, exactly, do you prevent a stranger from pressing your doorbell?
It is integrated with the door entry system, house security, DNS, the WWW, instant messaging, e-mail, phone and mobile phone calls, everything my mobile phone and PC and any other device does, any every portable thing containing data. Obviously all in well-separated virtual machines with VMmetal firewalls that are integrated into the whitelist system as well, deciding what the VM can do. [Because VMs are not security solutions!])
Wait, your super-secure, every piece of personal information/data server is attached to the public internet? Game Over, it can be hacked, period.
For me, I'd MUCH rather have the EMS personnel responding to my twitching, unconscious body know about my AVM and be able to respond with real, accurate info than worry that someone will find out I got the clap back in 1979.
And while you are lying there, twitching unconscious on the ground, how will the EMS personnel figure out your passcode/pin to access all that "real, accurate info" locked away on your smartphone? Get a medical alert bracelet, put a brief description of your health issue (AVM) and a QR code on it pointing to your online medical records - problem solved.
How would a medical professional know to go thumbing through your smartphone when you are lying unconscious in the hospital? Do you happen to have a passcode/pin or other security mechanism the nurse would have to navigate through to access those records?
You understand that for many/most Americans some significant subset of their complete medical history is available online, locked away in the databases in insurance companies, if nothing else in the form of records of payments and supporting records for every medical procedure reimbursed by their insurance carrier? The ability to replicate your medical records onto your iPhone doesn't make insurance company, employer access to that data easier.

Offered dirt that was never provided is proof of nothing.
The only 'dirt' that was offered was previously released DNC emails.

I question how much ISP service the state pays for? Do they run their own web servers or use a hosting service?

Obviously, you are not.

How many 'state' contracts with ISIs are funded with federal eRate funds, this exempting them from state requirements?

The entire point of the Energy Loan Program was to lose money.
Quite simply, that is not "the entire purpose" of the loan guarantee program.
Sure, some loans are going to fail, costing taxpayers money, but that isn't the point of the program.
Solyndra built it's factory in Silicon Valley - why? There's a reason there are no other manufacturing plants there.
Solyndra loan application was turned down by Bush Administration, simple fact.
The very same Solyndra loan application was approved under Obama administration. Ask Joe Biden, he oversaw approval process.
Bush analysts predicted not only the year but the date of Solyndra's bankruptcy - again, simple fact.
They tried to create a 'premium' solar panel when the world wanted (and the Chinese produced) ever-cheaper 'good enough' solar panels.
Not sure what elements of my post you consider lies - I'd love for you to point them out.

Ford could partner with Roomba to 'clean up' blighted neighborhoods and provide security theater in more affluent neighborhoods.
Ford could also partner with Google to provide Live up-to-the-minute Street View updates for subsequent off-line analysis for crimes and offenses.

The Russians also offer reentry and return for that $70 million, as long as you think people are expendable.
Think hard and long about it.
I did, Your argument makes no sense.

The ability to store possibly incriminating photos on your phone does NOT mean the police have a "reasonable suspicion to open EVERYONE'S phone" to see if they have child sex photos on them.
The possibility that evidence exists somewhere - on a device, in a drawer, etc. - does not give the police probable cause to search that drawer, device, etc.
But I'd like to have to enter a more secure passphrase to access work email, open documents, view pictures, etc.
And perhaps have something even above that for banking, or health records.
Yes, it should be really, really hard for third-parties - like doctors in the ER - to gain access to your medical records, that's a great idea.
Also how long till "apple approved" services can import this data, like WebMD above or other crackpot sites and we end up with some huge HIPPA related data leak.
Your "opt-in" will remove any HIPPA concerns.
