That's nice. Now answer the question: how is anyone supposed to know what you consider unsuitable for your child? And why do you think it's reasonable for Wikipedia to go through all its present and future data to apply your standards just to save you some trouble babysitting your own kid?

Actually we are broadcasting VERY little now, and most of what we are transmitting won't leave our own system. this is why if other life exists its gonna be hell to catch a signal as there is a very small window between finding out how to broadcast and switching to digital, if other life follows a similar pattern.

These camera units have to have some sort of clue about their owner(unless they are configured in the not-so-terribly-useful 'record only to local storage, somebody climbs up when it is time to collect" mode). Are they connected to fixed wiring? Do they have a data radio of some flavor? WiFi? Cellular? Any SIM card to be pulled? Serial numbers, vendor information, dates of manufacture, etc, etc.

Unless somebody went to considerable trouble to do this in some deep-black-ops kind of way, they should leak clues like a sieve once somebody just gives the cops the finger and takes one apart...

Brownsville, eh?

All I can do is hear "Smoking in the Boys Room" in my head.....

If he leaks state secrets....isn't even POTUS liable legally?

He's not above the law, right?

In the more specific case of this spaceport, I would be considering the fact that most rocket programs so far seem to have had trouble avoiding more or less alarming amounts of hydrazine seeping all over the place. SpaceX's use of RP-1, at least for present designs, makes that less of a concern; but rocket launching doesn't exactly have a sterling reputation.

It won't matter because I doubt even gates can quiet them down if the other 40% are on board, hell you might even end up with a hostile attempt to take over the board. The ONLY way i can see gates pulling it back is if he agreed to step back in to day to day operations and he doesn't seem to have any desire to do that. The money being pissed down a rathole is his too and with big names like Gabe at Valve talking about setting up a Steambox Linux to compete with him I honestly think he'll have no choice but to talk Ballmer into stepping aside, maybe take some "head of R&D" bullshit job while they bring someone else in. because if the stock starts tanking because of lack of investor confidence in its CEO Gates having plenty of stock can't stop that and with each day he lets it go on he'll see his money going down the shitter as well. HP is still the #1 seller of PCs last I checked and look how bad THEIR stock tanked thanks to bad CEOs.

In the end MSFT simply can't afford another massive public and investor backlash and if it happens (which I believe it will) then nothing that Ballmer does after that will matter, the stock will still tank. unless Bill is willing to try to buy back the company I honestly think he'll be backed into a corner and have no choice. With even stodgy mags like Forbes turning on him he just doesn't have the allies to turn this around with Ballmer at the helm.

I've always suspected that this is what we're dealing with but it's nice to have it in writing.

Recently a Game of Thrones director gave an interview talking about what working on the show was like and he said it was like the SNL skit -- there's a network executive in charge of tits.

It was pretty surreal. Iâ(TM)d not done anything like that in my films before. But the weirdest part was when you have one of the exec producers leaning over your shoulder, going, âoeYou can go full frontal, you know. This is television, you can do whatever you want! And do it! I urge you to do it.â So I was like, âoeOkay, well, if youâ" youâ(TM)re the boss.â

Marshall further elaborated:

This particular exec took me to one side and said, âoeLook, I represent the pervert side of the audience, okay? Everybody else is the serious drama sideâ"I represent the perv side of the audience, and Iâ(TM)m saying I want full frontal nudity in this scene.â So you go ahead and do it.

I mean, you kind of suspect it but never thought you'd hear it stated so baldly.

Thank you. Now imagine its 3AM, you haven't had ANY coffee yet, and they are screaming at you that parts of the network aren't working. Quick, could you look at a whole pile of IPV6 numbers in a list and spot which ones don't conform? Bet most can't because our brains just don't process hexadecimal nearly as well as it does numbers. But if they gave you that same list in IPV4 octets you'd spot the 194. numbers in less than 3 seconds.

Hell they could have gone to 7 or 8 and it would have still been easy, because triplets are easy for us humans to whip off, just like "the phone number song" where people got dot, dot dot duh, dot dot duh, dot dot duh duh. Instead what we got is over done, needlessly complicated, and obviously done by engineers that haven't spent a day in the field. Hell how many years did they scream "You don't need that!" when it came to NAT and DHCP? I remember the first couple of years they screamed up and down "Just give everything its own public IP!", yeah, like THAT won't be a security nightmare, nope, what could go wrong?

I'm just glad I'm out of corporate IT, I'd hate to try to install this giant clusterfuck onto some large corporation and troubleshoot the mess, what a nightmare! Oh and look at how the other posters argue up and down that humans will have NO problem reading hex just as easily as octets, I bet these same ubernerds walk around with binary watches and wonder why everyone looks at them as weirdos. Whether they choose to accept it or not the brain processes numbers and letters differently and most are MUCH better at counting in decimal numbers, that is just how humans work.

You gonna throw the POTUS in jail? Because they are ALL doing it trying to give the people something, ANYTHING, other than the dismal employment numbers which they know will screw them in November.

As for TFA the only difference it will make is that black hats will be treated like arms dealers, scummy but useful so they'll be able to get by with more shit. I also suspect all those black markets where shit like zero days are sold won't be getting shut down now either.
