You jest but first it was global warming, then global cooling, than warming again and finally climate change. What it should be is "atmospheric CO2 level rise"
That is all the more we can really say in macro. All these attempts to predict outcomes have only damaged their credibility. Rational thinking people should still find it of great concern that we have ever increasing and never before seen (while humans have walked the earth) CO2 levels, and you follow that up with and their exist relation ships between solar energy retention, ocean currents, ocean acidity, and mean temperatures, etc with that.
Nobody really knows what will happen at least not on a short ( 0-50 year) time scale. If they just would have been honest up front about the fact that human activity is radically altering the composition of the atmosphere and that there will be consequences but those can't be entirely identified because its a hugely complex interconnected system maybe it would be taken seriously.
Instead we got decades of alarmist and bogus predictions. its no surprise that so many folks are so dismissive now.
You really are naive! I am not saying big cable is great but big government control and regulation of the internet will be far worse.
Anonymous anything will be the first to go! The legal ( and its sound reasoning ) will be sure the first amendment provides you can say pretty much anything you want but it says nothing about you being able to do it in anonymity.
The next issue is going to probable cause, uploading to much? Well you must be a criminal copyright violator and their will be be a warrant to search your computer so fast your head is gonna spin.
You don't want Government to have that kinda of control Look at Turkey's internet crack down! Things started getting a little interesting in the middle east and suddenly bam! not internet freedoms for you. Think it won't happen here? Looks at Schenck v. United States and the Espionage acts. Consider all the crazy provision is the PATRIOT act nobody has been able to over turn! Sure the courts might eventually come to some kind of sense and fix things but that can take decades!
Anyone with any awareness of history AT ALL should not want a government controlled internet. If you want the Federal government to do anything maybe it should forcing ISPs like Comcast who have infrastructure that depends on granted monopoly rights easements and the like be operated as common carriers but you definitely don't want them any more involved than that!

It would have been surprising if the US would have implemented treaties differently from every other country.
Why?
It does a LOT of things differently from other countries. It redefined "republic", just for starters.
The gas bag itself was flammable; it wouldn't have mattered what gas was in it, when it disintegrated
In particular: The paint. It contained a mix of powdered aluminum and iron oxide pigments, in sufficient concentration to maintain a redox reaction.
You and I know this mixture as "thermite". It's really hard to get the reaction started - but an electric discharge can do it. (They tried to tether it with an electrical storm approaching. That would make one hell of a spark when the charged envelope comes near to connecting to the grounded mast - which is about when the fire started.) Once it's started, the reaction is essentially impossible to extinguish. The aluminum steals the oxygen from the iron oxide. The heats of formation of the two oxides differ so much that the energy released leaves the resulting elemental iron as an orange-glowing liquid and the aluminum oxide incandescent white-hot.
You are bound by the treaties your country signed.
Yes: You, and the states, and their courts, are bound by them (to the extent they are clear or were implemented by federal enabling legislation).
In fact, they have more legal weight in the US than laws passed by your own Congress.
NO! They have EXACTLY the same weight as federal law. Both treaties and federal law are trumped by the Constitution, and both are also creatures of Congress, They can be modulated, and destroyed (at least in how they are effective within the country) by congressional action.
The idea that they're any stronger or more permanent than federal legislation comes from a (very common) misreading of the Supremacy Clause:
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding.
This says that the Constitution, Federal Law, and Treaties trump state law in state and federal courts. It says nothing about the relative power among the three.
The misreading is to interpret "all treaties made
In fact the Supreme Court has spoken on the relation between the Constitution and treaties: In Reid v. Covert, 354 U.S. 1 (1957), the Supreme Court held stated that the U.S. Constitution supersedes international treaties ratified by the U.S. Senate.
Treaties are abrogated, at the federal level, all the time, and there are a number of mechanisms for doing so.
Yes is that cut and dry. This a person who has phoned you up with the intent to do you harm. His/Her reasons don't matter. (S)He has no right to try and defraud you. (S)He isn't stupid either, he knows the folks (s)he is working for are fraudsters and (s)he knows this and is participating anyway.
If this person is so desperately poor than they should be calling and asking for charity. This is malicious behavior and it deserves an in kind response.
As I said it definitely will clog particulate filterers if they are not removed or bypassed. I don't know what other harm to the exhaust it could do (not a truck guy myself).
I suspect if used for extended periods it will damage (over heat) values along with their guides and seals. I suppose it could cause additional wear on rings as well.
Keep in mind though what it really does it produce an over rich condition something that would not have been uncommon at least for short periods on older engines that used either indirect injection and/or mechanically controlled injection systems. So for at least short bursts I would not anticipate much harm.
I read this argument often and here is my response.
Provided you are going to vote for someone you can:
Vote for the guys who made the mess in the first place. Taking them at their word that they really mean to clean it up. You must do this knowing that they thought these things you are so outraged by where good ideas at one time. Which should make you question if they truly share your values and lead you to wonder if their solution will be worse than the problem is today.
Or
You could vote for someone new. Who also says they want to fix it. Can they who knows, might they prove to an even worse disaster than current crop sure. Then again they might be a whole lot better, we don't know unless we let them try.
So the real question is if you are going to vote for a main stream Republican or Democrat both groups having a pretty solid track record of FAILURE for the past 20+ years what result can you expect?
IBM was probably rightly worried about the FCPA.
Which does make it illegal to engage in that sort of behavior for a US business even in places where that is the norm. Now personally I think this is another example of the globalism people trying to have it both ways. They want "free trade" but they also demand US companies compete while being gagged and handcuffed. There certainly are parts of the world where its just the way business is done.
Either we should not have free trade agreements with these places - looking at Mexico (NAFTA is border security nightmare too). Or the FCPA should have an exceptions list, for much of eastern Europe and south America.
On the other hand FCPA does protect share holders from obscene amounts of unaccounted monies going out the door. That is important, but not as important as the over all success of the organization. I would much rather a company I own stock in occasionally have a few hundred K$ vanish but get that contract to be the sole provider of widgets to all of East Bumbfuckistan; when you get down to it.
What would be even better is if East Bumbfuckistan would clean up their act and create a system of laws that prevent bribery and similar in efficiencies and create a generally fair market place where everyone competes on merit and has access to quality information but I don't think it should be our job to make up rules to follow in places where their clearly are none and punish ourselves for failing to do so.
No its just normal diesel fuel, which by the way is pretty much the same thing as coal oil, just slightly different levels of refinement, most vehicles could use them interchangeably.
What they do typically is put a switch in the o2 sensor lines, and dash mount it. When the sensor is disabled the engine management goes into its limp mode will keep the injectors open. The engine uses much more fuel this way so most only do it when they want to annoy someone. It will also as you might guess clog filters etc if they are not also removed and its done often.
Yea but its a metasploit module so you run metasploit on some very disposable vm you have out on Amazons aws in the free tier.
Either have your revershell go back to that IP and forward it on your own system or just bank on tact these losers don't have the skills it would take recover your ip from your shell code in memory or see the outbond connection on their firewall and have it call your back directly.
These guys are following a script. Most of the actors probably don't know how to deal with things much outside that. They are using an off the self remote access tool and social engineering. If they could pwn your box without your help they'd skips the steps where they setup the bogus call center, train employees, pay to make a bunch of often long international phone calls, etc and move strait to the profit step.
If they can't get you to fall for the scam they probably are not very dangerous.
Get rid of your dictator and adopt a representative democracy and it will be over. Indeed, nobody could have thought it would go on this long.
Now they have the guide printed on the box but I can remember when i was a kid they didn't.
Some off them had maps at least as far back as the '50s, and probably much further.
A classic was the "Whitman Sampler" - an assortment of their products with a handy map. In addition to being a tasty and relatively low-priced collection of their products, it let a family divide them up according to their individual preferences, and gave you the names of each, so you could (at least hypotheically) buy boxes of just the ones you like.
(I say hypothetically because I never saw boxes of the individual candies being carried in the stores that sold the samplers.)
