Absolutely. Someone from Over There got into this country, snuck into the OH governor's mansion when no one was looking, and installed his own Web pages.
Oliver's show is commentary on the news. If he said nothing that was a lie, they've got no case.
But Murray's scum, anyway. Wanna talk about how he, and the other coal companies, are trying to a) break union contracts, and b) get out of paying into the UMWA Health and Pension funds, leaving miners and their families without healthcare and retirement?
Shifts constantly changing, sometimes you'll get told when you work at the last minute and you get zero benefits, and the GOP will find some way to make it legal to pay less than the minimum wage if you don't work x hours a week.
Gig economy... that's where the companies gig you the same way you would a large fish you caught, with a hook up your guts.
Management. They're not willing to pay for someone(s), they don't want to listen to the answers, and then they complain about the cost.
When something happens, instead of putting was was tailored for them in place, they go so overboard that it interferes with the employees' ability to do work.
And then they point to that, and say they can't afford that, again.
Right. Who first was semi-privatized (and Founding Father Ben Franklin, first Postmaster, is spinning in his grave), and then the GOP doesn't want to fund it well enough that they've been cutting back hours and delivery. Same as Amtrak.
The GOP: Government doesn't work... because we make *SURE* it doesn't.
Or you could look at it as one person, an armed, and presumably trained, security for the Congressmen shot back. Not a bunch of ammosexuals shooting wildly.
Or did you forget that gunfight at the bar in Texas with the bikers?
And it is extortion. I had someone in the Brevard Co, FL jail in '04, and $50 min "deposit", use it or lose it, *and* you could ONLY CALL FROM ONE PHONE NUMBER. And you had to register that phone # with the jail before hand, so they were limited in who they could call.
And most of you are too young to remember pay by the minute phone calls, and this was long-distance pricing in the same freickin' county.
Note: it is a documented *fact* that the more contact a prisoner has during their imprisonment, the lower the recidivism rate.
What the presumably Russian crackers were after was altering things like voting roles, resulting in voter suppression.
You know, *exactly* like the GOP has been doing with gerrymandering, and having people at the polls challenging voters' registration, and the mass dropping of folks from the voting roles.
One that sticks in my mind was a guy not allowed to vote because he was registered in another state. Note, he was whatisname, jr, and it was his *father* who was registered in another state.
And there is *no* national system to move registrations when you relocate. Who here has ever relocated, and written to their old state or commonwealth to let them know to remove them from the old voter roles?
Yes... go on. Tell me what percentage of government projects are that far over budget, or never completed.
Then compare and contrast with the number of big budget *corporate* projects that go way over budget, or are never completed.
Datum: I worked for Ameritech, one of the Baby Bells, in the mid-nineties, in a start-up division. We were going to be Ameritech's entry in the long distance service sweepstakes. And after two years, and three quarters of a BILLION DOLLARS, they gave up and shut it down.
And go back to 1997, and BAN ALL C(ONSUMER_TARGETED ADVERTISING OF PRESCRIPTION DRUGS. They spend *billions* on that, and what, you're supposed to tell your doctor what to prescribe?
With all the mergers, they're spending a lot less on actual research. And the research they are doing - a year or two ago, India refused to grant a patent to a major drug, because it was no advance at all on the existing drug... that was about to go out of patent.
Hell, go look at the wikipedia entry on quinene, for malaria - how much it costs to make, and the price in the US.
That's their big research. Basic research? Try universities, a lot of whom get funding for that... from the biggest and best (IMO) medical and bioscientific research organization in the world: the US NIH.
First, it assumes that most companies have *real* hackers on staff, or on call, and not script kiddies and other wannabees, who, say, don't know what a munged address is.
Second, yeah, about that, so if Russia's intel agencies decide to hack you, or Saudi Arabia's, or, for that matter, the NSA does it, you're really going to hack back? I can hear the real agencies saying, "gee, this kiddie wants to play out of their league...."
Datum: in the *early* nineties, large companies that already had a lot of experience with telecommuting wanted people in the office at least 1-2 days a week, not just for meetings, but for the water cooler conversations that turn out to be REALLY important. And no, you don't get those with texting, since we're talking about multiple people and conversations.
Datum: let's say, just for grins, that you actually live with a family. Now convince them NOT to bother you while you're working. Or your roommates....
And this is, from the companies' PoV, that you've got your own device, and we don't have to pay for anything, not even office space.
In our secure rooms, we have an EPO button. It's LARGE, red, and inside a cover that you have to lift to turn hit.
And this contractor turned off the *entire* power for an *entire* datacenter? Yep, yep, not our fault, not your fault, it's gotta be the fault of that guy over there pushin' a broom!
In the seventies and early eighties, as IT was coming in hot and heavy, they'd talk about all the good jobs that will be created in the information economy.
This fool has *no* realistic ideas at all. And as a billionaire, he has no idea how working class people - that's 80% of us (even if you don't think you are, you *are*) start working, or earn money between other jobs, or even just want a job that doesn't need a lot of thinking while you're working on your Masterpiece....
He needs to be taxed, along with all the other billionaires, so we can have a Basic Income.
Late eighties was the last time there was an explosion of fonts. I have a friend who, I understand, back then bragged he had 700 fonts.
Now let's consider: overwhelmingly, they fit into one of two categories: first, try to notice the differences between, say, Times New Roman and whatever, or Courier/Ariel and whatever.
And the other category, which is "no wonder it was used in one book, and no one ever wanted to struggle with reading that font again".
Of course malware writers aim at the largest target. They also go after the easiest target. The only people who go after hard targets are state actors.
However... Linux is yet another, and the most successful version of UNIX. And it's inherently a much harder target, because of its architecture, and the way it works. Admittedly, you can *make* it vulnerable, by things like giving root a password of jesus, or love, or 12345678... but the separation of authority, along with the structure (X is *NOT* in ring 0, for example) makes it a harder target.
Yup. Absolutely. And if Hillary had won the Electoral College, and appointed Chelsea and her hubby to positions in the White House, and had owned hotels, and properties all over, the GOP would have started the impeachment for emoluments (bribery) and nepotism.
And now he's appointed an outright fascist as deputy director of DHS (are you, personally, feeling safer now, and *sure* you'll never get picked on), which fits perfectly with white supremacist and fascist Bannon.
Nothing to get upset about, no, no, because they're Republicans, not Democrats....
Slashdot Mirror
Absolutely. Someone from Over There got into this country, snuck into the OH governor's mansion when no one was looking, and installed his own Web pages.
And then snuck out, with no one the wiser.
We're not far from a century and a half of telephone service. How good's the mike and speaker on your expen$$ive phone?

But we don't need unions....
Sorry, evidence proves you wrong that "cats don't understand cause and effect".
Datum: I was there when a late friend was running a laser pointer for the cat's pleasure. She got tired of holding in the button and stopped.
Cat looked where the pointer dot had been, looked at her hand, came over, and batted at her hand with the pointer: "the cat is not done playing...."
I just stole your sig, and have had everyone laughing at it.
Right. A better way of looking at the story is this:
Dogs, we got together with 15? 20? 30? kyears ago, and what happened? We chased game, hung out, and licked or scratched our private parts.
Then cats figured out how to domesticate us, and the next thing you know, we have agriculture and towns, then cities.
See? That's why we're here....
Management. They're not willing to pay for someone(s), they don't want to listen to the answers, and then they complain about the cost.

*Now* that Republicans are getting shot, will we finally get some gun laws with teeth?
The slashdot of five or ten years ago would have been laughing themselves silly over this perfect troll of Trump.
One of the many thing wrong with the so-called conservatives, and libertarians: no sense of humor.
What the presumably Russian crackers were after was altering things like voting roles, resulting in voter suppression.

Let's see your data.
Nationalize the pharmaceutical industry.
And go back to 1997, and BAN ALL C(ONSUMER_TARGETED ADVERTISING OF PRESCRIPTION DRUGS. They spend *billions* on that, and what, you're supposed to tell your doctor what to prescribe?

So, billionaires paid Russian hackers (at a discounted rate from American hackers, and not in danger of the FBI getting them) to get the data....
In the seventies and early eighties, as IT was coming in hot and heavy, they'd talk about all the good jobs that will be created in the information economy.
This fool has *no* realistic ideas at all.

Every server wasn't connected to a UPS? And the return of the power overwhelmed the UPSes?
And just how did management decide to "save money" on the power for the servers?
