Exactly FUD. Ferret != Human.and Conditions ferrets in != usual human conditions. There’s no guarantee the virus will spread similarly from person to person, says Ana Fernandez-Sesma, a viral immunologist at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. In the experiment, ferrets are together for hours with forced airflow under temperature and humidity conditions that favor viral transmission, she says. “I don’t think this is what happens in real life.”

well...an email was leaked that said to "make the cuts hurt" http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/mar/5/email-tells-feds-make-sequester-painful-promised/?page=all Seems to bolster your claim of the Washington Monument Gambit.

However, at least at the airshow near me that was cancelled most proceeds go to local charities and with 50,000+ people attending that's a lot of proceeds Doing the math however it costs $100,000 and many well planned air shows draw more than the 50,000+ people we get at our rural airport. Raise the price of tickets $1 and maybe another revenue stream from somewhere and it can be locally supported. No one seems to want to pay their "fair share" (there's that phrase again) and its not just the uber rich. Those guys put on a kick-ass show and an extra $5-$10 for my family to see it isn't going to kill me. This is not an insurmountable cost with that volume of people. The days of a free ride from the Government are probably (and should be) over.

Correct. At the higher frequencies, these are the band plans where hams can operate. Citation below. All modes and licensees (except Novices) are authorized on the following bands [FCC Rules, Part 97.301(a)]: 2300-2310 MHz 2390-2450 MHz 3300-3500 MHz 5650-5925 MHz 10.0-10.5 GHz 24.0-24.25 GHz 47.0-47.2 GHz 76.0-81.0 GHz* 122.25 -123.00 GHz 134-141 GHz 241-250 GHz All above 300 GHz

Part of the problem is the engineers designing them. They don't understand the sandbox they're playing in. It isn't in their culture and they don't know that they should secure them much less how to. I'm starting to see organizations hire product security engineers now to try and institute this stuff into the products but they seem way behind the curve IMHO.

first

THE GODDAMN GERMANS AIN'T GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!!!!

Seems like they wanted to try to build some excitement when there was nothing to be excited about.

Everything old is new again. 100 years ago give or take these rural phone companies were born out of the fact that these towns were "forgotten" by the growing carriers. Seems to be history repeating itself in that they get the sloppy seconds.

Then I guess Meraki "accidentally" put out a FAQ on the acquisition too. http://www.meraki.com/company/cisco-acquisition-faq

Their marketing byline lists them as: "....the leader in cloud controlled WiFi, routing, and security"

Whatever that is.
