DOJ asked and got told "No".
Of course telling a department like that No isn't something they're willing to accept, and this everyone became embroiled in this useless piece of chicanery.

And I just read that the doctor that's treated 100+ of the Ebola victims has been infected as well.
3 other nurses have already succumbed to the disease.
The high mortality rate is probably what scares people the most, despite it actually not being that infective through normal pathways.
This comment now stands moderated at 'Redundant'. Which is just about perfect. I wish there was a way to make sure it stays that way
(Yes, that was more or less a joke)
This law is actually only enacted because their previous law got invalidated by the EU, and they really really want to still be able to do this!
The discussion on this was when the first law was enacted, it's too late now, really.
No. Said the person who should have known that the Stuxnet attack had an attack vector that didn't have anything to do with the internet.
The actual machines it was aimed against actually weren't connected to the internet at all.
So the comment is just dumb.
Kudos to him for not ever trying to get into the limelight about this.
Not sure what repercussions this will have for him and his family as persons, but it's kind of nice to see this sort of stuff can still happen
Guess he got taught well by the diverse companies insisting on secrecy!
There were actually plans at one time (no idea if they ever got worked out) to send a combination lander.
One lander for communication, with a submarine module to bore through the ice and go exploring under water.
Sounded really neat, but not very feasable.
I'm sorry, but this storm is not affecting The Gulf of Mexico, Florida, or the Jersey Shore. America is not interested. Move along.
Someone marked this comment flamebait, so they missed the obvious cynicism in this comment. Or if this was actually meant for real, then it goes to show the exact sad thing, that for a lot of people this is actually true.
As someone else in this thread already said, the coverage on this particular Typhoon in the US Media is severely lacking for the most part, which really is sad.
How is caps lock a mistake?
If you go back in time somewhat, it was actually needed to fill in certain TN3270/X3270/IBM3270 terminal templates.
A lot of things would need capslock, but would still let you use lowercase for other things such as comments (remember Cobol? Nah, I don't think you do
So no. No mistake at all. (Even nowadays, if you're entering activation codes and such, they're often in all caps *and* caps sensitive, which is retarded
But I get your point CAPSLOCK SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN INVENTED...
The main problem here is actually quite simple.
In the investigation, these trades would also show up, since 'canceled' trades don't actually get removed from the system, just set to 'canceled' state.
So if this were true, both trades should show up, and one should've been canceled *after* the 7ms, with the change it will actually be picked up by another system in the meantime, etc.
But we'll see what the investigation comes up with
I'm betting on a time machine! (Or possibly just insider trading, but that's not half as much fun)
Aside from the fact it's not necessarilly mutually exclusive, I'll just drop this quote here that both sides can use ad nauseam.
"Wrong, Wrong, Wrong, Absolutely brimming over with Wrongability"
Use this on each other, and at least get a laugh out of it, possibly..
Aha. It's good to see other people have worked with Accenture! Or IBM. Or Infosys. Or.......

They want to move it to L2, it's not going to be anywhere near the earth to bother with.
If the thruster runs too long, it'll overshoot L2, and go into an orbit rather far out of the moon's orbit.
Chance it crashes on the moon is rather higher than it crashing on earth, and even then it'll not be an overly significant event (see someone else's calculations in this reply thread as well)
L2 is perfect for this stuff, since it's actually outside the earth's sun orbit and farther away than the moon.
Now L3,4,5 which are located on the earth trajectory might be something you might not want to do
*sigh* Rounding errors...
We have the same problem with different hardware architectures (think x86 vs SPARC vs S390).
You have to set a certain acceptable deviance from spec for this sort of thing, and mark it as 'okay' if you're less than that percentage off the expected value.
As an example: My calculation on a Linux box over a spread of about 125000 payments gives me about 0.00001 cents negative difference, whereas the same thing in Exhell comes to 0.
This is expected and completely insignificant behavious.
