Dont get me started. As a scientist here on spider skull island ive created numerous game changing technologies. For example, I created a disruptive app that uses high energy laserbeams to "disrupt" regular people into charred piles of ash, but my colleagues dismissed the whole thing as "impractical" for holding an entire city hostage. absurd!
i have a new game changing technology im trying out on the city of Metropolis right now that I think will be a real winner if i can just keep those darn haters off my back. You see, it changes regular parking meters into a game by causing every other one to randomly explode into a shower of molten metal and sparks whenever someone doesnt pay my one million dollar ransom. **sigh**
but knowing my colleagues im sure its going nowhere fast. Dr. Doom (congratulations on your dissertation that melted the entire physics department into a sentient fluid!) has already come up with a scaleable, licensed and renewable heat ray hes using to heat the very breath in your lungs to plasma. Oh and dont get me started on countess chaos...shes invented some kind of innovative and transformational technology at a ted conference that transformed the innards of the entire audience into highly unstable raw sodium. shes just...so creative.
3. The release of the item would create an identifiable risk to the stability, security, or integrity of the agencyâ(TM)s systems or personnel
no biggie here, as youd have to identify the risk and make it meaningful.
4.The release of the item would compromise agency mission, programs, or operations
vague. you can expect this one to see a lot of abuse because the person who releases the code often isnt the author, and frequently wont be able to answer this question without worrying about their job.
5.The CIO believes it is in the national interest to exempt publicly releasing the work.
this. the CIO often doesnt know TCP from BBQ and will likely relegate the bulk of their source to this category by default so as to avoid lengthy congressional investigations and burdensome oversight.
It doesnt matter if sortable wants to hire US or foreign citizens, and sortable knows it. What sortable is doing is casting their net for canadian employees using the widest outlets: American media.
the fact is that while you may have qualified to immigrate to canada in the past, after the 2008 economic collapse most of canadas immigration schedules for knowledge workers changed substantially. This was partly done by conservative leaders in canada at the behest of US leaders to prevent a potentially fatal brain-drain from the US. it was also partly done as a way to shore up domestic employment numbers after the Governor General prorogued the house of commons. You see, once Steven Harper let the cat out of the bag and posted record Canadian economic losses, conservative party leaders got an easy pass to clip immigration law in the hopes of shoring up harpers PM confidence after what was widely seen as a narrow miss to send him back to his constituency.
Zolicoffer was sentenced to a year in state prison for the misdemeanor
For those reading the BCC in native UK, its hard to comprehend this being more than a sensible chuckle. However, in the united states, a conviction resulting in a prison term can prohibit you from ever getting a job. ex convicts are barred from social services in Oklahoma in many cases, cannot vote in elections, and are frequently required to pay restitution for their incarceration.
what Bates did was to issue biblical retribution for a victimless crime.
Bates runs a website where he publishes videos of alleged sex workers and their clients.
You'd better be very, very certain of what youre doing. impoverished sex workers and 9-5 johns dont fight back too hard. Trying this stunt with a C level for a major multinational however will earn you cancelled credit cards, ruined credit, and foreclosed homes.
the two individuals were inside a vehicle and the incident occurred away from other members of the public.
So you went out of your way to play Batman for the day. Its worth remembering though, that batman has an alter ego. People you have publicly destroyed now know your full first and last name. For many of them, there may be very little standing between them you.
1. Never, NEVER authorize automatic payments from any service provider, ever.
2. Notify the billing department by mail that you're cancelling service. include your full name. billing address, daytime phone number, and account number. request a final bill if applicable
3. if serious about things, send the notification by certified mail.
ignore anything not marked as a final bill. you dont need to call these assclowns and listen to some poor english as a second language wage slave beg you from flashcards not to cancel. and as always, if you should ever run over a Comcast manager in your car make sure to shift into reverse and roll over them again for good measure.
For your profit margins im sure, but for the rest of us we're doing just fine.
we can still access facebook, google, instagram, twitter, and a host of other top level sites to complete the tasks we see fit to complete on the internet. And as for Linux users, many slackware and gentoo afficionados routinely run nearly 10 year old hardware without concern.
the Kik application referenced has iOS, Android, and Windows Phone implementations all rely on node.js for both overt client side as well as server side processing.
there is no redemption in a torture camp. Auschwitz and Dachau didnt find salvation in an agricultural or a climate research institute. Instead they perist in silence, discipline, and remorse as a sterling reminder of some of the most profound human genocide mankind has ever committed. Many israeli jews, including new IDF troops, make a pilgrimage to these sites yearly to remember.
Prisoners at Guantanamo have been beaten, waterboarded, subjected to forced intubation and rectal feeding, extreme temperatures, and have experienced some of the most brutal and least reported abuse under the US governments authority that any human has seen in the 21st century outside of Darfur. Some prisoners have been kidnapped from their home countries under extraordinary rendition, and others simply scooped up during the occupation campaign in Iraq. Once theyre free, many are in limbo as their home countries no longer want them and no foreign nation will consider them for immigrant status.
ESA: We made it to mars america! our rover is collecting samples and data. ISRO: America! we need some help analyzing these samples! can you send a rover to kindly do the needful? Russian space agency: Da. We are needing help with this outpost America. New supplies and ships needed for our colony. NASA: look guys uh....we're in our fifth government shutdown, the supreme courts been vacant for 3 years, I think...i think most of our drinking water is lead these days and we just pledged another 800 billion to the terror war and the great wall of mexico. But if you can somehow work Mars exploration into religious freedom i think we can keep the radio comms up another month.
Google, er, Alphabet didnt really get a rock in their shoe about encryption until Edward Snowden so lets take a moment to thank their engineering consultant in Russia. Once it was revealed that the US government had placed secret taps on links between google datacenters to render their endpoint to service encryption meaningless, the company began working to make the internet a living hell for the surveillance state.
Google owns a browser, so that browser adopted SSL, then TLS as a mandatory connection parameter for google services. a pretty good share of Mozilla, at least in braintrust, is owned by Google and so getting firefox to endorse and enforce encrypted channels to google and other web services was childsplay. after a year, the titty got tougher and HSTS was the norm on some of the largest web content providers on the internet. SSL had been completely phased out for TLS 1.2 and strong AES256 crypto in light of a more concerned review of open source encryption after the governments audacious claim they could break in excess of 80% of encrypted traffic. Libressl hit the scene after some disclosures, DEFCON changed their status with US law enforcement to "its complicated" and now in this foul year of our lord 2016, uncle sams up proverbial shits creek with Apple in what will either be a resounding defeat, or a knock-down drag out multi decade battle at the hands of a corporation with more income and assets than most foreign nations. But slashdot, its only getting good.
googles set their target to the next generation of encryption, elliptic curve, and its looking to be a trend-setter. the primes used by most current elliptic are cooked up by NIST, and NIST has in the past been implicated in weakening encryption as part of US security policy. NIST primes are still used in chrome, but chrome supports Dan Bernsteins Curve25519 alternative that isnt intentionally gimped for uncle sam. Look for Google --and the internet-- to begin using this and other "safe curves" as standards to replace secp384r1 and prime256v1. devices and services in the year of the hoverboard are now shipping with encryption as a requirement, not an option, and features to disable it in browsers have been quietly retired. And perhaps the most resounding confirmation of the internets collective "fuck you" against the carte-blanc collection of data on citizens has come from outside the US. a majority of VPN and encrypted storage providers do not reside within the immediate jurisdiction of Washington.
For those who still believe the US governments position of freedom and liberty is the sacrosanct advocacy of the altruistic definition of these concepts, Its worth advocating a book by Noam Chomsky called "Manufactured Consent." Our upcoming elections, for example, are while often considered "free" in actuality quite encumbered. A complex system of gerrymandering, voter ID and registration laws, as well as delegate and superdelegate system operate in concert with the electoral college to ensure party endorsed --not popular-- candidated get elected to office. This promotes doctrinal stability adherent to the US definition of "democracy" at the expense of governing by the will of a majority of americans.
Chelsea Manning, Julian Assange, and Edward Snowden are all immediate examples of Americas stern opposition to the kinds of transparency that more than a dozen other countries in the world --all democratic-- advocate. the Iranian revolution, and subsequent contra scandal as well as the election in iraq during the most recent war are prime examples of the fact that we champion democracy only if and when the elected leader is our preferred candidate.
The facts remain: The US still maintains a secret torture prison on an island. we have used kidnapping in our wars. we have an entire secret court system to try -- in absentia -- american citizens and sentence them to death by drone strike. We have a drone warfare program that is not up for any public discussion and this fact is tacitly endorsed by all major forms of US media. our law operates with impunity in nearly every soverign nation, so powerful as to force sweden to ground the flight of a diplomat without any discussion by american news or accountability by any politician. We have an entire criminal justice system that by a nearly 3:1 margin incarcerates one race above all others, with no accountable reason for doing so. we have engaged in proxy warfare through state-sponsored terrorism in the Ukrane, Syria, south america, and the middle east all under the transparent doctrine of freedom and democracy.

Based on the recent finding, the IEEE has issued new guidelines to augment its previous best practices on disks...some of these are to be expected:
1. the classic practice of gently simmering disks in a succulent gravy is being phased out. gravy increases humidity, and its widely expected a dry rub will not only replace this practice in the future but help flavourful juices reach the surface of the drive
2. RAID arrays should be basted no more than every 25 minutes now, up from 5 minutes. This is partly due to the fact that RAID arrays come infused with a 15% solution of brine. ZFS arrays, as per normal, can be allowed to reduce in their own pools.
3. caching SSD's are unaffected by this finding. A light egg wash or light coat of melted butter toward the end of the partitions is still advised for best performance.
This kind of technology might seem inconsequential, heck, even beneficial in the 21st century. I come to you from the future, the year 2143...and I beg you, do not unleash this pandoras box. our world is much like your own, except for a highway of autonomous --some say even sentient -- high speed statues of torchwoman --you know her as the statue of liberty -- rivaled in terror only by their helltower counterparts as they blaze across the wasteland once known as "texus" and "Cauli-forgnia." Most cower in fear of their herds, others worship them as signs of bountiful harvest or the approach of the cadmium rains. these are the new gods of our foul world, and we have only you to blame.
ratify the TPP: you have overtly agreed to endorse and promote a system of economic and social inequality predicated on global trade and abusive protectionist copyright. in the coming years you will witness among many windfalls of this endorsement the slow death of your local industries, increasing unemployment, skyrocketing incarceration rates, increased drop-out rates and narcotics dependency in once thriving communities. Your card for arguing stricter drug legislation was spent 30 some years ago at the behest of Washington, and so you have no choice but to champion a legislatively suicidal position --rational albeit-- of addiction treatment, recovery, and community building efforts that will inevitably fail as the TPP works against the interest of entrepeneurs and small business that are and were the lifeblood of the very townships you seek to rescue.
refuse to ratify the TPP: legislative forces will balk, hit pieces will be crafted in the rags you once called independent sources of journalism, and your re-election campaign will find new suffering in opponents with stern short term but absent longterm domestic and foreign policy riding a wave of ephemeral populism. Titans of industry will craft the next TPP and pump cash into their next statesman, and you or your party will need to reiterate, recuse, or condemn your past indiscretions. a distinct lack of heroin overdosed 15 year olds will go duly noted in the annuls of your countries history. somewhere a welder will retire with a meaningful pension and take up either macromet or deck building as a hobby..

Russia:: did you call america to see if they want to come along on the new mission? ESA: theyre uh, working on a different mission i think. its okay though, maybe next time. Russia: da. I spoke with America last week. Theyre working on some kind of wall? or the healthcare again? maybe I wasnt paying attention. The man on the phone just kept telling me he "guaranteed" they were working on things and that america would be great again. ESA: nothing about mars though?Russia: They asked if I could rescue Matt Damon if we went... ESA: *sigh*
seems like this is a once a month occurrence...and it typically goes something like this:
1. Microsoft gets slaughtered to the tune of hundreds of millions on a new offering...for example, surface losing 600 million in 2014.
2. Microsoft pretends that didnt happen, releases a new surface.
3. eight months pass, the new surface incurs another hundred million in loss.
4. Microsoft pretends losses are due to economic factors and not representative of anything more than a downturn in consumer demand.
5. Microsoft spends, say, the year of 2014, firing twenty thousand employees while muttering "this is okay, this is normal" in a soothing monotone to any onlooking press.
6. People point out the microsoft store is failing, the phone offering is also suffering huge losses, and the only thing using the microsoft cloud is the colocational datacenter racks that hold it up.
7.....microsoft releases a new windows...proclaims its the greatest ever....it begins failing...
8. Microsoft announces it will now strap Xbox indelably to the haggared burro known as Windows 10...they will form a new perfect union...like beer belch flavoured doritos or stale cigar flavoured icecream.
ah you think the constitution is your ally. When your precious constitution declared warrantless search and seisure to be unlawful, we merely declared our our borders to be hundreds of miles long. We declared our wiretaps to be constitutional through "metadata."
When the constitution declared the first amendment sacrosanct, we merely declared those who spoke against us as "enemy combatants" and had them executed by drone without so much as a second thought. We bombed the news stations that refused to fall in line with our message during our wars, and we openly slaughtered their journalists in the field. When it was reported, we sentenced the whistleblower to rot in prison.
whilst timeshifting BCC broadcasts is indeed an egregious offense as it robs our government of revenue, Id like to bring it to the attention of my fellow britons that there is a far more nefarious. There has been report of a man -- perhaps multiple people -- who have found a way to use timeshifting to skirt the fundamental laws of quantum thermodynamics and causality. they do so in what seems to the naked eye to be merely a police box...but inside this device ALSO violates several casual laws of general thermodynamics as well.
I cannot abide by such a lawless scoundrel galavanting about our nation. Whats next? he'll decide the laws of gravity no longer apply to him? that death no longer impacts him? as if he were some sort of "lord" of time?!?! outrageous.
Google: we want a 100kw FM directional station. FCC: is this for your internet by drone idea? ooh! what kind of futuristic drones are you working on!! Google: [furiously crumples plans for directional lynard skynard as a service broadcast] YES! uh, you betcha it is!
Adi:
no one has argued the case isnt firmly in the hands of the FBI, or that they arent entitled to prosecute it. What we're highlighting and opposing is the biblical retribution with which the government seems intent upon pursuing this cases. the entire purpose of unlocking the phone at this opportune time is to create a precedent so that, in future endeavours and cases there is no point at which "favour" is ever questioned. the purpose of forcing apple to unlock this phone, or any device for that matter, is to create a legal standing by which any other device the government sees fit can be unlocked for any reason, however remote.
the facts stand: both killers are dead. their motives were known. their accomplices were known. their method is known. this is more than enough to convict a corpse.
Not necessarily. Paris Hilton is a premier example of a parent who clearly did not care about scholastics. Conrad Hilton has less sired and more excreted a petulent child incapable of even simple arithmetic. Many of the children of saudi elites and royalty are themselves incapable of anything more than conspicuous consumption. Muhammad bin Nayef, of the house of Saud, is nearly illiterate.

seems like this is a once a month occurrence...and it typically goes something like this:
....microsoft releases a new windows...proclaims its the greatest ever....it begins failing...
1. Microsoft gets slaughtered to the tune of hundreds of millions on a new offering...for example, surface losing 600 million in 2014.
2. Microsoft pretends that didnt happen, releases a new surface.
3. eight months pass, the new surface incurs another hundred million in loss.
4. Microsoft pretends losses are due to economic factors and not representative of anything more than a downturn in consumer demand.
5. Microsoft spends, say, the year of 2014, firing twenty thousand employees while muttering "this is okay, this is normal" in a soothing monotone to any onlooking press.
6. People point out the microsoft store is failing, the phone offering is also suffering huge losses, and the only thing using the microsoft cloud is the colocational datacenter racks that hold it up.
7.
8. Microsoft announces it will now strap Xbox indelably to the haggared burro known as Windows 10...they will form a new perfect union...like beer belch flavoured doritos or stale cigar flavoured icecream.
ah you think the constitution is your ally. When your precious constitution declared warrantless search and seisure to be unlawful, we merely declared our our borders to be hundreds of miles long. We declared our wiretaps to be constitutional through "metadata."
When the constitution declared the first amendment sacrosanct, we merely declared those who spoke against us as "enemy combatants" and had them executed by drone without so much as a second thought. We bombed the news stations that refused to fall in line with our message during our wars, and we openly slaughtered their journalists in the field. When it was reported, we sentenced the whistleblower to rot in prison.
whilst timeshifting BCC broadcasts is indeed an egregious offense as it robs our government of revenue, Id like to bring it to the attention of my fellow britons that there is a far more nefarious. There has been report of a man -- perhaps multiple people -- who have found a way to use timeshifting to skirt the fundamental laws of quantum thermodynamics and causality. they do so in what seems to the naked eye to be merely a police box...but inside this device ALSO violates several casual laws of general thermodynamics as well.
I cannot abide by such a lawless scoundrel galavanting about our nation. Whats next? he'll decide the laws of gravity no longer apply to him? that death no longer impacts him? as if he were some sort of "lord" of time?!?! outrageous.
Google: we want a 100kw FM directional station.
FCC: is this for your internet by drone idea? ooh! what kind of futuristic drones are you working on!!
Google: [furiously crumples plans for directional lynard skynard as a service broadcast] YES! uh, you betcha it is!

no one has argued the case isnt firmly in the hands of the FBI, or that they arent entitled to prosecute it. What we're highlighting and opposing is the biblical retribution with which the government seems intent upon pursuing this cases. the entire purpose of unlocking the phone at this opportune time is to create a precedent so that, in future endeavours and cases there is no point at which "favour" is ever questioned. the purpose of forcing apple to unlock this phone, or any device for that matter, is to create a legal standing by which any other device the government sees fit can be unlocked for any reason, however remote.
the facts stand: both killers are dead. their motives were known. their accomplices were known. their method is known. this is more than enough to convict a corpse.
Not necessarily. Paris Hilton is a premier example of a parent who clearly did not care about scholastics. Conrad Hilton has less sired and more excreted a petulent child incapable of even simple arithmetic. Many of the children of saudi elites and royalty are themselves incapable of anything more than conspicuous consumption. Muhammad bin Nayef, of the house of Saud, is nearly illiterate.
