Funny how historic problems repeat themselves, and we let it. East India Company was so big and its reach so massive that it had it's own flag, its own military, and its administrative section was larger than most governments. Eventually even government officials, who were quite comfortable with someone else managing their nasty colonial duties, began to realize that they had outgrown their own britches and started systematically taking them apart.

iMe too :wq

Education also provides all the funding for student aid and non-private grants. They also administer all federally backed student loans.

Now someone like Ron Paul probably wants all that gone anyway. But I for one question where we, as a country, would be today if we didn't provide these services.

Apple has been a consumer electronics company for years. You're just figuring this out?

IBM sold what was considered a computer in those days to the Nazis, then the Nazis used them to tabulate their kills. Not the same type of computer that you typed your comment in on, but the same basic function; input, compute, output.

Also, many other companies also sold to the Nazis during the WWII period including Standard Oil (Chevron, Amoco, and later BP) and AT&T and many others.

Also, I hope you don't like Volkswagons, Porsches, Audis, Bentleys, Bugattis, Lamborghinis, SEATs, kodas or Scanias.

If you worked at Fermilab, they wouldn't be.

Troy is a great guy and will be missed. I've only been here ~3 months and I've already asked him innumerable questions about SLF.

Best of luck from MHD, Troy!

I've been in many jobs in the last ~15 years where a chat infrastructure is a standard tool of the IT group.

I've also seen managers, who traditionally kept out of the admin channels, start to invade them, in the name of "keeping a pulse of the group's activities and issues..."

No sir, I don't want or need my boss seeing what I type and erase in the chat client before I type a calmer chat and hit enter.

Do Not Want.

What a drag it is growing old.

,,,how banks work. Where the data is stored has a lot to do with how much (or little) legal maneuvering is required to gain access to customer financial data.

But but but it's youtubes and it's on the internets so there must be some exception... otherwise they're obviously censoring the internet, I tell ya!

Yeah but it works out great if you don't rent a car and drive an out-of-state vehicle... they don't bill out-of-state plates at all!

It's more dynamic than that. Iran is racing to acquire weapons-grade nukes before their economy collapses from the sanctions. In the US Government's view, pushing the clock gives the sanctions a better chance of succeeding.

Also, as the story points out, there's a second attack coded in the worm - one that hasn't played out yet. So, in theory, the clock might still be pushed back further.

Maybe he/she is worried about releasing The Andromeda Strain...

Well played.
