Comment Re:Another view on teh RSA / NSA thing... (Score 3, Insightful) 201

They didn't make a "non-denial." It appears to be quite explicit.

The only thing explicit is that RSA denied a bunch of highly specific scenarios. Let me highlight one word:

Recent press coverage has asserted that RSA entered into a “secret contract” with the NSA to incorporate a known flawed random number generator into its BSAFE encryption libraries.. We categorically deny this allegation.

Now change that one word to from "known" to "unknown". Did they deny that?

Plausible deniability. The only truth with a hole in it!

Relax. Comments as idiotic as AC's make a dull thud, not a whoosh.

Comment The law (Re:De minimis principle) (Score 1) 1010

The law does not concern itself with trifles:

There was a young man named Rex
Who had diminutive organs of sex
When charged with exposure
He said with composure
De minimis non curat lex

Determining the size of the arresting officer's gonads is left as an exercise for the reader.

Comment Useless PR hack (Score 2) 264

From TFA:

A government spokesperson states that any disclosure of classified material is harmful to our national security.

What a useless PR hack. Two points:

  • A large amount of classified material is over-classified, not in the least bit harmful to national security, and mostly just embarrassing to the government.
  • In circumstances such as this, it is actually government activity is that harmful to national security.

Twaddle.
* It is not the N+2 rule is is the N-2 rule
* It is more of a guideline
* The guideline applies to grid systems. The German grid is not a system. It is just a part of the European system
* Heck of a job at Chernobyl
* Everyone in the old power industry SAYS renewable is bullshit. Everyone in the old power industry rambles on about baseload. Why? Because everyone in the old power industry is worried about their job.
