  1. Re:Black spots/shapes in sky on NASA Shares Curiosity's New Mars Photos (nasa.gov) · · Score: 1

    I also notice a thin light line down the right-middle of many recent Curiosity photos, and not just from this site. I wonder if the camera imaging grid had a column of pixels die.

    Not a big deal, easy to interpolate away on processed versions.

  3. The whole "tax headquarters" thing is obsolete. The taxes a corporation pays shouldn't depend on their headquarters location. That just invites tricks.

    Perhaps "profits" are just too hard to track internationally and revenues should guide taxes instead.

    Killer wales also talk. Goes something like this:

    KW 1: Works for me. Wanna grab some sea lions afterward?

    WK 2: Dinner!

    The criminals are in shady and desperate corners of the world and it's unlikely we can do much about them. Control what you can control; though, and don't do known risky things.

    I'm talking about the "internal unclassified network". And I don't buy your freeway analogy. There are a lot of factors that affect hack risk.

    For example, although the State Dept. may have had thicker doors, it probably also had a higher quantity of doors, and windows. H's home server did only one narrow job.

    SD is also a more public target, meaning more hackers will likely try it. Obscurity does reduce risk.

    And you didn't address my "as it was then" request, but merely changed the subject.

    And it wasn't "secret homebrew" as I explained elsewhere. You misinterpret English words to fit the shape of your political bias. Your brain is lying to you.

  15. Business Decision? [Re:just a coincidence] on Facebook Co-Founder Commits $20 Million To Help Defeat Trump (buzzfeed.com) · · Score: 1

    Agreed. It's quite possible this is a business decision so Facebook et al. can get more visa workers, and offshore without consequences.

    While Trump flip-flops on those issues, it appears he's more likely to curtail visa workers and offshoring than Hillary.

    Ranked second is the fantasy planet that they didn't know was a fantasy planet, and wasted lots of time trying to solve the puzzle while trying not to get distracted by all the old friends and lovers that kept popping up. Psych!

    For me, it's a metaphor for working my tail off at work on projects that probably won't be appreciated and will likely be PHB'd into mediocrity anyhow.

    Learn to enjoy the journey and the personal satisfaction itself instead of expecting kudos or gold. If you don't expect them, then you will be pleasantly surprised when they actually appear.

    I can't believe any abuse is this widespread without upper management knowing.

    (There's probably a Hillary joke in there somewhere.)

    Based on my experience in Cubicle-Land, management probably suspected it but turned a blind eye, Sgt. Schultz-style, because it boosted their jurisdiction's sales stats.

  23. There's a telecom that rhymes with "ate tea and pee" that stuffed various services, with related fees, onto our accounts, such as "fraud insurance", without us asking.

    When we complained about it being there, they would say, "Oh, we must have misunderstood you; sorry, we'll remove it."

    (The "fraud insurance" strangely didn't cover this kind of fraud.)

    I'm sure the sales people were pressured with carrots and/or sticks to find excuses to fluff up accounts.
