*IF* this could be done, it would make the nuclear arms race look like a spitball contest. The threat of orbital bombardment would pretty much end any discussion of conflict.
For the sake of argument, let's say they are successful in recreating the *exact* sequence of Y. pestis that caused the Black Death.
From that point, let a Bad Guy get their hands on a DNA sequencer and then figure out a way to buff it up and weaponize it for delivery so that it would even defeat the Delta 32 resisters. Oh, and create a specific antibody for it that only a select group could use.
Well, F--k us all. ; \
This research needs to be TS/SCI and shoved down a deep, dark, concrete-filled desert hole somewhere.
...a smart company with plenty of resources like Blizzard/Activation should be saying: "Hey, you guys want a job?"
Totally agree - they hired the Machinima gurus from Illegal Danish and the new cutscenes are *AMAZING*!!!
Hire these guys and they'd have an instant hit.
Blizz needs to stop cutting off thier body parts for hard cash.
Admitting harm means giving credence to the folks who leak this crap and would actually encourage folks who are opposed to US policy to step up efforts to leak more.
If I say little was done then, as a technique, it gets 'poisoned'. Does it mean it won't be used in the future? No, but it does lose quite a bit of it's cache' and gives me breathing room to build counters to further exposure (no usb, no CD/DVD-R, etc...)
I know, it sounds bizzare to someone outside of the Beltway but that's how it works. : /
X, as a Network Architect, I agree with your assessment but the fact remains that we've been down this road how many times now - four or six? - and no matter how much someone 'pushes' IPv6 it's a nonstarter without a 'killer app'.
Now if they could do P2P sharing...
Apple is pretty entrenched in some very interesting places here in DC so it doesn't surprise me that they would pull the app.
As far as it being open source, there's a difference between saerching yourself (and the effort involved) and having someone else collate it in a comprehensive set of classified sources.
I hope they sell tickets to this kids execution for treason. Maybe they can get Assange and do double billing and make it pay-per-view with proceeds going to the families of the Intelligence agents and sources who are killed from it's release.
And over 150 years later we are a society entirely based on technology that would put us back further than 1850 and cause truly cataclysmic death and disruption.
A Y event now would just screw us back to hunting each other for food.
Of course, Jones neatly answers his own question there - that's the very best reason to make your data available. Is he so incurious that he doesn't even want to know if he's made a mistake?
...or he doesn't want someone to find out where he made them : /
Have to get there *somehow*. The Chinese continue to fight the Thousand Year War while the rest of us cant see beyond this afternoon's TV show. Bow to your Chinese masters!
It sounds like you're advocating 'The Lord of the Flies' as a child rearing model; you're not an inner-city public school teacher by any chance, are you? That child developmental model has worked *SO* well there!:)
Yes, I want to shield my kids from drugs, pron, bullies, and the Jr- Sr High brat-pack BS - life is hard enough without the labels and stupidity of public schooling!
We're of the pickup-truck driving, Bible-thumping, gun toting, Far FAR FAR Right-wing voting homeschooling variety and have co-homeschoolers who are Pagans, Free-thinkers, Wiccans, and a few hard-core Rationalist families as well. We all get along just fine and we all beleive that we have an inherent right as parents to raise OUR kids in OUR way. The gamut runs from n00bs who 'school-at-home' to the experienced 'unschooling' family with 10 kids; one kid we know speaks fluent Old Norse - he wanted to speka, read, and write Viking poetry) - he was just accepted to a middle ages history program.
I think homschooling does for my kids what my gifted and talented program did for me when I was growing up - my old school district elimnated it in favor of 'assimilation' - and I have to say that if you want to make the sacrifice, work very, very hard, and give your kids the BEST education you can, it's homeschooling FTW!
I can honestly say that here in the the US my wife and I can give a BETTER education than the State can provide; a smaller classroom, individual attention, customized curriculum, and all of the plusses of just being home with mom and dad. Looks like Germany wants to homogenize everyone and I'm glad the family got the Asylum they needed!:)
I was an FS-5 Cisco Engineer in 2004 for the UN Stabilzation Mission in Haiti (MINUTSAH) where I maintained the VoIP and Data links back to Brindisi and it looks like the folks from my section didn't make it out. I have sent several emails to former colleagues and have gotten no responses. The US news media has pretty much glossed over the deaths at the compound and even the folks I work for now don't have any sat photos of it. Unfortunately, after 72 hours, it looks like nearly everyone there is dead. This is the biggest loss to the DPKO and the UN ever. My former colleagues, we will miss you all.
the modern 'Minister of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda'?? Seriously, he more or less wants State control of the the media and heaven forbid if the message isn't approved by the Equal Access Board. If it smells like Fascism (even handed out with a smile) chances are it is the real thing. Not some proto-Bush wanna-be-a-dictator crap, either. This guy really is a bit scary.

Geez, has someone been watching too much SyFy channel reruns?
...and this is different pre-911 how??
The difference is that you can actually sue a private company for the actions of it's workers. The TSA is untouchable right now.

Sorry, I'll pass - this is something Orwell would make up. Seriously, I don't want a TV to watch me.
Seriously, just why would you even try to eat something like that?

Online Editions, Kindle, .pdf and for backup you can go Hardback.
I wonder if it's something braking before it gets into the inner planets...
Obviously, you don't Raid. ;)

than having AOL as your email could say either 'N00b' or it could say 'retro'.
