All that 'utility' stuff shouldn't be exposed to public nets anyways, maybe not even to your intranet.

Since your threats are both external (DDOS, botnets, intrusion) and internal (malware, bots, id10ts), you need to protect your management systems from both, and segregate your networks.

Yes, a huge nuisance to be using portals, multiple authentications, etc, but the choice, for some, is having to explain how they crooks got into your corp net and picked it clean, or how they got into EVERYTHING and you can't get them out of all that, 'cause your management tools are also compromised, and they keep respawning internally, and you just can't, and they just keep, and it's so haaaarrd...

Because you can't, probably, 'just reimage' all your servers, VMs, firewalls and appliances, even the damned UPS stuff. At least not without a total shutdown, and probably without a specific ETA...

Arg.

Now you have a reason to get a 3D Printer.

And make a home furnace as well...

The context is obvious and uncontested except for those who wish to abolish the amendment, or neuter it.

Old argument, still invalid.

But the language of the law is clear. 'State'...

If that doesn't mean 'state' then the court has set precedent to let lower courts decide what laws mean.

And that is not how this nation is intended to work.

The revolution is winning.

Good. At least one of those rooms is likely a kitchen.

Whoosh...

SO the solution to homelessness is to house people in these homes with 3-4 strangers.

What could go wrong with that plan?

So taking the risk inherent in renting in California is being a parasite?

Get a bad tenant, and you could lose more than your investment, and the income you were hoping for. The definition of risk. In fact, you could be facing legal penalties in excess of your losses if you're not careful.

All while your tenant, leveraging the law, sits happy and safe on your dime. They have the municipal government backing them. You have nothing. And their lawyers are going to be bigger than yours.

You have a strange concept of 'parasite'.

You give tacit approval for the government to tell you how to spend your income. Then you complain they don't manage the economy so you can actually follow their advice.

Maybe you should start exercising some personal initiative, or move where the government meets your expectations???

The NMCI was supposed to be a manageable intranet, with the Initiative back in 2000 the first step, identifying apps, updating systems, blah blah blah.

Sort of got done. Sort of. The history of the NMCI is a study in vendor management, high expectations, and bureaucracy.

How long has the person 'Lush' been around? You wanna start that war?

All this for 5 months' difference.

Whoosh...

"Would you go to slashdot.org/macdonalds and expect a page about hamburgers to come up?"

No, but if I went to youtube.com/mcdonalds I would. slashdot.org/macdonalds I would expect to come up with some random stuff related, marginally, to either Macdonalds or something else. So I'd save time and go to slashdot.org. Same effect.

Ripping my CDs solves the disappearing problem. So long as I can convert to current formats before the old ones perish from the market.

Most of the political poll calls I get, and I get them regularly, are focused on the 2016 Presidential election.

The primaries are still 7-10 months away. I am uninterested. I hang up.

Call me in November, when campaigning should be heating up. It's MUCH too early.

And yes, I know this is driven by the candidates, money, and the media. Those points don't make me more eager to participate so early.
