You can even get very interesting bugs through that, like in VBA automatic date conversion that try MDY first then DMY. So you get bugs in your code that only trigger during the first 12 days of each months. How fun!:-)
Well if they blocked each and every communication it wouldn't be very stealth, plus it would defeat the very purpose of snooping in, so let's fix it once for good:
Meaning: we'll spy on each and every communication, decide which ones we don't like, block them and throw you in jail for it, preventively.
I think that'll do - the Chinese would be delighted. Shit I should apply for politics or something.
Cops are the sheepdogs and you and me are the sheep, fleeced as suitable. The masters aren't gonna kill the dog that bit a sheep once - it's doing its job and doing it well.
Meaning: we've decided to do it and are looking at a way to have the bill pass; trust us we're good at that. If all else fail there's always the good ol' and very effective "think of the children" card to play.
They're also specifically considering those communications used to support violence, disorder, or criminal behavior.
Meaning: we'll spy on and block each and every communication we don't like and throw you in jail for it, preventively. Then you'll enjoy working your way through the courts to challenge the administrative decision.
From what I understand the controllers themselves are managed/controlled by Windows, which is how Stuxnet was able to target them. And Stuxnet was able to infiltrate the systems by using the autoplay feature of Windows XP, which is the kind of end-user interface candy that's meant to be helpful to your grandma when you hand her a CD with the wedding photos, not on a industrial system ffs.
Beside the proliferation risk everybody's talking about, I think there is also a technological/commercial difficulty that should not be dismissed as negligible. France has tried very hard to build a commercial breeder but gave up eventually, not only or mainly because of protests but because of technical and financial difficulties - it basically was a money drain.
This is why I resent the smug nuclear apologist crowd on slashdot who seem to believe that commercially viable reprocessing could be available now if only not for that idiot Carter - that's far from a given, the technical difficulties would be huge, possibly on par with nuclear fusion if you see what I mean. And when one mentions solar energy? "The technology is not there yet". Yeah right, talk about rational thinking.
And why THE FUCK are they using a Windows OS for this kind of system? I mean controlling a nuclear enrichment facility or a prison security with Windows XP? What kind of marketing bullshit did they use to seal that deal?
it's cool to be part of a group that causes some shit to happen that makes it on the news.
Because you think that the numerous suicide-bomb teenagers that are flocking to their doom around the world are motivated any differently? Very interesting indeed, I'd be glad to hear about your take on their thought process.
CREATE FUNCTION list_items(p_size IN varchar2, p_color IN varchar2, p_brand IN varchar2,...) AS SELECT it.* FROM item_table it WHERE (p_size IS NULL OR it.size = p_size) AND (p_color IS NULL OR it.color = p_color) AND (p_brand IS NULL OR it.brand = p_brand) etc...
which has the advantage that you ever have only one SQL text in database memory, instead of having the database parse, compile and execute a gazillion different versions.

The thing about the villain is they never feel they are the villain because to them there is always a reason for their actions.
To be fair Socrates formulated that idea about 2400 years ago: "No one does evil intentionally."
Credit where credit's due.

Like the "read manual before use" advise carved on the side of (some?) American guns?

Also, what do they have to gain from allowing police brutality?
They need a brutal police force to keep you in line.

They're looking at whether it would be right.

what can a US citizen do to change this situation?
Join Cisco's legal team - this will change the situation, at least for himself.
Actually, I think the real question is Why did the chicken crossed that road?
yea, there is some evidence that a small dose has beneficial effects
on other people, preferably random strangers far away.
"What do you mean how? I don't know, like... look casually."
But I thought radioactivity was good for you?

Too bad solar manufacturing is heavily subsidized by the US government
Or is it?
They do the same thing with oil. Look it up.
FTFY
I think you got wooshed.
He'll have a hard time doing that with that broomstick up his ass.

Please somebody mod this guy up.
Really? That's fucked up. I, for one, am glad my dick was left intact.
As anybody would.
Americans do it too, for no religious reason, only for the sheer fun of it.
That's fine.
