or if they managed to plant that is to find some traces of illegal mental state altering substances.

or seize some cash from unsuspecting tourists from say Canada eeee drug dealers I mean from drug dealers.

standard procedure if he were black he should have not had a driving license in the first place...

This..... IS...... Sparta!

The part about Island is almost true. Not sure about jails but letting the banks fail and hoping for the best was what saved Island. As for the rest it may also be that the current technological and economic changes our societies go trough will force high unemployment and possible further state failures in Europe. We are not that far yet however so your 'broken' countries are not broken yet. Or in some time scale we are all broke and if these are long enough dead too.
On bankers still: I am all for decimating exercise - you want to work in finance you sign to a lottery and once a quarterly results are over a draw is done and 10% of CEOs etc go to the lions - televised of course. For those that are to faint to fight lions I think there are still ebola dead to be buried. OC at the end some figureheads would be sent to die which is why such plans never work :(

How true. If Germans were to give all their federal state debt back tomorrow they would be in default. The same is true for almost all other EU countries. I think Sweden went down with their debts in 90ties. Surprisingly Russia had low levels of sovereign debt (not sure now after a year of proxy war/scuffles with US). I was watching this default teasing in Greece this year and was wondering - they do not get any money from outside, they have no money inside so which of the maturity points will be a tipping one? This looks like as if somebody in Brussels, Frankfurt and Berlin decided Greece has to go now or stand up on its own. I suppose once in default treaties will force immediate exit from Euro zone. If not for all the poor people that are gonna suffer this would be funny.

I agree they are not Venezuela - no Chavez, no oil and yet they too are screwed. I guess having corrupt political class is a heavy burden. As well as not letting enough of the debt go. Poland which was given here as an example had admittedly better chances - country that believed the change was inevitable and beneficial for all (whether the 'beneficial for all' part was actually true is questionable as last years immigration figures prove) was given a huge relief of their debts and really committed to change at least for first few years. Sometimes you need to cut the rotten parts. But for that again you need trust to those that rule and we come again to corrupt ruling classes at home and banks that we know are no friends of radical change of the type needed.

So if the perpetrators are still walking free that means ????

I do not know this so I am guessing but it may be that the number of people that are so limited (deep Asperger and any such)) as to not care about anything other than 'how' is limited which means that as the /. crowd grew, they became increasingly outnumbered. You may be displeased by this of course but if you are old enough you will understand that this is unavoidable. I dislike all the information foam around subjects too. I still learned how to cope. Filter the necessary stuff yourself it is not that difficult. BTW: In some cases the infofoam carries some vital clues needed to communicate with the rest of humanity. I did not believe that either but painful lessons of the past taught me to change my perspective.

Not if that was a product of US justice system. To big a chance they would either be mentally broken or ready to kill. You deal with them yourself fuck you very much.

there are some studies that show that good students can benefit from contact with weak ones. OC this must not be a contact with drug dealing bullies that are out of control etc. US society problems is not only with its penitentiary. No amount of money thrown at US military will stop the rot that spreads inside. The fireworks over every capitol that US decided to teach a lesson were spectacular tho.

How come Finns or Danes do not have these quite serious and real problems that you describe? I am sure one can pick many other nations but even the corrupt and barbaric Russians do not look at US of A for the successful, effective and ethical way to deal with criminals but rather to Switzerland.

One you have to admit - if the bloody (rather incompetent hypocrites pretending to be) puritans went all the way and executed every criminal that the court decided is guilty, the problem with recidivism would disappear for good. Other than that US as a folk could have looked at some other countries how they deal with the problems the society has - only the US citizens in its entirety do not want to look elsewhere. This could destroy their illusion of being superior to everybody however so no chance of it happening and if so then no huge enough group of politicians can gather and change the rules of the game. Not only in penitentiary but also judiciary and also in social support systems etc But that is communism and serves the enemy or even Putin.
If one looks at other areas where US think being superior and acts like it were the results are quite bad to disastrous. One can be excused thinking that at one point their economic system dominated by finance and military complex may become unable to cope with global challenges. Romans did not have WMD. I wonder if that was good or bad. I guess it depends....

So do all of them. The distinctions still fails.

I have worked with systems that had hard coded networking parts that were used for software management i.e. mostly installs and upgrades. In test environment we had multiple machines connected to one start server trough the switch. In some configs we had different vlans to make man installs going trough in such env. You can automate this either way. The question is:why would you and if so how would you go about it in a secure way (that is not the original question tho is it?). In some situations it is desired not to have a connection to wider networks. This is not meant as protection but one more level of difficulty for intruder - s/he has to physically plug their dirty cables into the virgin slot. OC usually this is a major vulnerability - most of such devices have no protection whatsoever, produced by SW plumber from Zamunda for spare cents ears ago when they did not about Putin palladium hackers nor NSA democracy fighters etc, no consideration and no competence enforced protective measures - you can install whatever you want if you have physical access. I wonder if this is the case here. I hope not but we know how that works...
Do we know anybody who updates software to those nifty highway toll cameras? I am sure with some digging the credentials are root/root or some other such....
