Everybody is carrying good quality camera phones now, so if there are UFOs flying around, we should also have good footage of them.

You're presuming those operating the UFO's are trying to hide themselves. Why do you think nature photographers use photo blinds? Answer: because they want to observe their targets behaving naturally, which they would be unlikely to do if the targets of their study could see them standing there clicking away with their cameras. Wildlife rarely, under normal circumstances, comes into contact with human beings. Such encounters would scare them. The same is true with human beings and alien craft/beings. Thus it is hardly surprising that even with all the phone cameras clicking away, capturing an image of a UFO is still quite rare.

Yours is the second post mentioning advertising non existent jobs? Wtf? Can you explain why they would do this?

There are lots of reasons:

You're forgetting what is probably the most common that started years ago:

0. To fulfill the legal requirement that no qualified American could be found thereby allowing them to legally hire the foreigner they already decided to hire even before the position was advertised:

• PERM Fake Job Ads defraud Americans to secure green cards

Most job interviews these days are no so much to determine whether you're qualified for the position or not, but rather to determine a legally valid reason to disqualify you for the position so that they can legally hire the foreigner they already decided to hire long ago!

Today's job market sucks. :(

It simply costs too much to build, to maintain, to secure, to decommission, and that's before getting to storing the waste for thousands of years.

What about THORIUM?

Everyone always assumes "nuclear" means today's high pressure vessel uranium reactors. But what about LFTRs? (Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors)

Thorium is nuclear, which is plentiful and cheap. And the LFTR reactor design is much simpler and safer (and thus much cheaper) than today's high pressure vessel design too.

Safer. Cheaper. Plentiful.

Thorium is the nuclear of our future.

Supreme Court case United States v. Alvarez ruled the 2005 version of the Stolen Valor Act was unconstitutional, as lying -- however repugnant -- is protected first amendment speech.

Punishment for fraud however -- lying for tangible (e.g.financial) gain -- as in the revised Stolen Valor Act of 2013, IS constitutional.

So claiming you have a product which does A, B and C and costs $X is NOT free speech if the product can be show to not actually accomplish what it claims (i.e. if it can be shown to be a lie), as that is considered fraud (i.e. lying for financial (tangible) gain).

What boggles my is that there are still 45k Windows machine that are directly connected to the Internet.

I doubt that many are directly connected to the Internet.

What is more likely is most of those systems were connected to each other via File and Printer Sharing, and just one of them was somehow compromised. Then, once that one system inside the perimeter became infected, it then spread internally from system to system like wildfire.

Thus even though none (or very, very few) of the infected systems were actually directly connected to the Internet, literally thousands of systems were quickly infected due to one person's carelessness along with far too many internal systems not being patched against the File and Printer Sharing bug (which is solely the CTO's/System/Network Admin's fault).

The myth: that driving while talking on a cell phone is just as dangerous as driving drunk.

Result: myth CONFIRMED.

Obama said:

Until that time, what I've tried to suggest -- both to the American people, but also to the world -- is that we do have to balance this issue of privacy and security.

Anyone who says such things is a traitor to America, plain and simple.

When they say such things, what they are really saying is that they believe the people should be willing to give up (some of, or all of) their Fourth Amendment right to privacy for the sake of increased security against a risk that has always been, and will likely always be, with us from now until the end of time. It's a blatant power grab, pure and simple.

They're trying to "balance" the privacy and security scales by removing weight from the privacy side and adding weight to the security side, so that the scale is thus "balanced". That's what they mean by "balancing": taking away our rights. Our liberties. For the sake of safety.

Well excuse the crap out of me but the Constitution of the United States of America DOES NOT NEED BALANCING! They're just fine where they're at on the scale thankyouverymuch.

"It's why I hate "recovery questions", they're usually bad questions that anyone could find out, and if I use some other answer, then I'm likely to forget what it is anyway."

The you're doing it wrong.

You should not have to remember your bogus answers. You should instead record them in your encrypted password safe.

I probably have over 100 different accounts at 100 different sites all over the web and each and every one of them has a different randomly generated strong password and nonsense security questions (when they let me compose my own) and corresponding nonsense answer, and I can assure you I don't have nary a one of them memorized.

Because I don't have to. I use a password safe.

The only people that whine about how difficult it is to remember passwords or answers to security questions are those who, like fools that don't understand or practice good security, use the same password for multiple web sites (because <whine!> they otherwise can't remember all of their passwords! </whine!>).

Stop whining and doing it wrong and start doing it right by taking security seriously: use a damn password safe so each and every account you have can have a completely different password and/or security question/answer!

Quite right. The twin towers and building 7 were all brought down by controlled demolition, and anyone who believes otherwise has either: a) not bothered to look at the overwhelming evidence supporting the theory, or: b) has looked at the evidence but is in self denial over it due to the extreme cognitive dissonance that frequently results in people who attempt to seriously entertain such a belief.

Waht the FRICK does this have to do with "what are anonymous ways to pay for goods and services"?!

And WHY the frick was it moderated "Informative?"

Guns and methods of suicide have NOTHING to do with anonymous ways to pay for good and services! What has happened to slashdot moderation lately?

WTF does this have to do with "what are anonymous ways to pay for goods and services"?!

And WTF ( WHY the frick) was it moderated "Informative?"

Guns and methods of suicide have JACK to do with anonymous ways to pay for good and services! What has happened to slashdot?

Please provide a single example of a prime, in binary, that does NOT end in "1".

According to wikipedia, they had 379,592 employees in 2014. That's a bit more than 71,000.

Quite true, but in order to do that you had to be physically present.

Brains is not the problem.

The fact that you can do such nefarious hacking remotely is the problem. You no longer need to be physically present.

THAT is what is concerning.
