Ok, I am invoking "Godwin's Law", let's move on. I can't believe the Washington Redskins was meant as an insult. Who would do that to their team, but we have gotten deep in to political correct in this country. (Boy it is a good thing we don't have gender modifiers on most of our nouns. There would be a battle.)
The problem there isn't the lack of showers but the repeated use of clothing.
But then you have CEO of Levi Strauss saying don't wash your jeans. http://www.latimes.com/fashion... I guess its back to nature time. I hope the windows open for a fresh breeze...
The way I read the article was the bullying took place in front of a school math teacher. This likely was a form of harassment. Since the math teacher failed to act on this harassment, and the teacher was management's representative here, the school and therefore the school district (and city) was at risk of a harassment charge. They needed to eliminate the evidence. They had the police do this, who I presume were also city employees. I wonder if this rises to racketeering? Let's hope the state does a investigate of this. Looks like they might have avoided a lesser crime charge by making it a larger crime. (Not always a good idea!) (IANAL)

Having biked a scale model of our solar system (the Sun 4 1/2' dia, Pluto 3.7 miles away) I can't wrap my head around the energies involved to make a noticeable change in C14 here on earth hundreds ( Cassiopeia A 11,0000?) of light year away. My small mind boggles.
So, let me ask - historically speaking, what has California's rainfall averaged, since the white man first came on the scene?
The funny thing is, I do a Google search to check that out. I click several links, and none show the information I am looking for. In 1849, what was the rainfall? Nothing. 1850? Nothing. 1851? Still more nothing. Where do I find the historical data?
Now, is there REALLY this remarkable drought, or have we simply been over using the available water for several decades already? There are a number of places where we have millions of people, but the land historically only supported hundreds or thousands. Even with tens of thousands, the weather and the land supplied plenty of water for survival, and some thrown in for waste and recreation. But, MILLIONS? Oh-oh - not enough water to go around.
We have been pumping lakes, rivers, and aquifers dry for decades now. We pump water from wherever we can find it, not caring about where it came from, or whether it will ever be replaced, or how it might be replaced.
Do we really have exceptional droughts today, or are we simply running out of water to waste?
Show me the historical data, please. Does it actually support this climate change theory?
Oh my, you mean you can't Google everything? Some source data hasn't and never will be put on the Net. Sorry about that.
Let get the media to over react. That will be fun, more government rules, more government oversight. I know we have multiple "SCADA" systems on my site, except most of them aren't control, they are monitoring. (Oh my! the B4-12 SquareD power meter is reading too low!! That groups power bill will be to low next month.) The other LAN connected SCADA systems on site, that I know of, would fail safe. The worst you could do is cause some experiments to fail. Part of the power of PLCs these days is having them on a LAN. (Who wants the ip of one of our PLCs, I'll give you a hint, it is on the 10. network.) Oh and do slap the folks that have true control systems open on the Internet with addressable IPs that could fail in a dangerous way.
Didn't a McDonalds clerk get shot one time? They should be armed as well, oh and grocery store clerks and gas station attendants. (And Fred the guy two cubicles down and... Oh hell just everyone.)
Your nation already looks destroyed. Despite rampant criminality and indiscipline in the administration, the DoJ is deliberately remaining toothless on the matter, the judiciary is issuing no orders to rectify its oversight being ignored, and the legislators are largely following sponsor^Wparty lines instead of constituent wishes when drafting and voting on legislation. A revolution at this point could only create a nation.
Baa, the U.S. remains a great nation. Please respect the folks who have concerns and voice them. Many (most) nations would not tolerate this self examination. We use it for self correction. Much of of our problem is the news media looking for flashy headlines. If I were in charge I would have the cable news run reruns of My Mother the Car, until there was something worthwhile to report. (Now I wish we would get on with the self correction, right after we pass a debt extension and get a dang budget for the government to operate.)
Which again, isn't really a shock - they were always allowed to look for spies, but after Al Qaeda showed everyone how infiltration can really be done, you'd pretty much expect them to be looking at everyone to figure out if they are an 'agent a foreign power'.
Except that the FBI was responsible for looking for spies (at least domestically), so this did open a new (additional) floodgate of money. (Not that the FBI has been left in the cold, but now they look for terrorists, instead of things like bank fraud.)
Well the answer to your face going out of frame is a picture in front of the camera. I could alternate between a normal picture, your head floating in space, frogs, (for this time of year) Jack-o-Lantern. I bet unless you are talking, no one will ever notice.
I thought a conference was an excuse to meet in the hallways and for beer later. Ever been to a Gordon Research Conf? The sessions are just a opening of ideas to talk about later.
Can we have Congress telecommute, and then cut off their internet?
They are already not communicating, I don't think we want to make it worse. I think a better solution is to put them in a room, no phones, no internet, no TV cameras and tell them they get out after a solution is agreed on.
It's not limited to just SSL. Any company that holds a copy of your encryption/decryption keys (a public certificate is OK, the matching private key that goes with it is the problem) can be ordered to turn them over. The only safe system is where the keys that secure the system never leave your possession.
For e-mail that means using S/MIME or OpenPGP with a self-signed certificate and a private key you generate yourself. For encrypted documents, the same. The e-mail and documents need to be encrypted on your end before they leave your computer. Be aware that if you're encrypting messages to someone else the security will be controlled by their handling of their keys. You're encrypting using their public key, there's no security implications from disclosure there. However, if the recipient's using a service where the provider has a copy of their private key (used to decrypt messages to them) then messages can potentially be eavesdropped on by outsiders who've compromised the provider and gotten the key. Be aware of this aspect and make sure you know how recipients are handling their own security.
Yes, the above means any and all web-based or hosted services are automatically vulnerable no matter how they're designed. The only secure systems are ones where you, or software running on your computer and that you control, does the encryption and decryption and the private keys are never disclosed to any other party.
I was afraid of this. Sigh. Looks like we need a entirely new model if we can't trust the public root servers. For most things on eCommerce it will not make a big difference. Who cares if I order a pressure cooker from Amazon, but for other things that I prefer the government not know about I am back to cash.
I wonder if this makes more a case for using self signed certificates for email. Of course It wouldn't help eCommerce, https:, or many other client server type applications.
It only needs about 3 to 4 more feet. So other than cutting it open the $10 million for the extra meter isn't to bad, just egg on the face. I sure someday the crew will appreciate a little more space.
Hey, they can be turned off. I recommend it. I remember moving from college with a networked mainframe (any one remember Wylbur?) to a research site which had a PDP 11/34 in one of the building that I didn't have access to and some Wang computers. I went through withdrawal for months. We did get pc computers networks etc, but I still can walk away at the end the day. Sure I may turn the computer on at home and check slashdot, pay some bills, or I may give it a couple days to check that email. Stay in control!

this is hacked.... how?
Same way I hacked my VCR so it doesn't flash 12:00 anymore!
Covering the blinking clock with black tape doesn't count, sorry.

But according to future history the first robot tanks were Bolos made by General Motors. The Russians have screwed up another timeline. (Dang Putin)

Well there really is a Turin Shroud with an image, there is a question of how it was made.

No, No, you don't get it. These are installing the new backdoors.
