I know I'd be really glad for my chunks of dead trees that have information about what plants are safe to eat, which ones are good for medicine, and so forth.
Granted, there will be an immediate scramble for survival, and I have no illusions that I'm in a good position to survive that, but in the long term there are lots of books that would be damn nice to have if you're lucky enough to survive.
I hate to say it, because I know that some smart, non-crackpot people just haven't bothered to update their HTML and UI style skills since the 90's, but I saw the big borders and pretty much immediately clicked the back button.
if you need "I need folks who are able to hit the ground running" you don't hire new graduates you hire old hands who have a few years of experience. This is just the old whining of companies not wanting to pay for training.
...or experience.
Shut up and take my money!
...if you are really young, really smart, and really naive, you just might go for it and end up owing Thiel 50% of your idea.
How appropriate that "Thiel" looks a lot like "Thief" if you're sitting far enough away from your monitor.
Microsoft's new slogan appears to be, "Be What's Next," which seems to fit pretty well, too.
Ah, I see, and agree completely. If I could pick and choose at maybe $3-5 per channel per month, it would be worth it for me to switch.

GO AWAY! BATIN'!
Excuse me, Mr. Boudreau, Mr. Wolf? You've got something white and gooey on your chin...no...on the other side. That's it.
Pirate leprechauns?
If I recall correctly, it only returned to yellow during the summer of election years, so that it could pop back up to orange shortly before election day and give us a good scary reason to not vote for Democrats. Amazingly, the terror threats always subsided after election day.
No worries, I think he works for Spishak now.
ONLY A COMPLETE MORON will hook up a scada system to a pc that bridges the internet and the secured network, OR puts the whole damn thing on a unsecured network.
As someone that worked on SCADA software for about a decade, I wholeheartedly approve this message. With very few exceptions, every bit of SCADA code I saw makes [insert favorite insecure software target here] look like Fort Knox. You do NOT want the internet getting anywhere near that code.
P.S. Thanks, Slashdot, for making me log in to IE to post. I still can't copy/paste in Chrome.
There isn't much to do with SCADA regarding security - The systems themselves are inherently insecure...
As somebody that worked at a SCADA software company for a few years, and saw (1) the skill level of the core development team and (2) what customers did with our systems, I heartily endorse this viewpoint.
Have you ever noticed that the people who are always trying to tell you `there's a time for work and a time for play' never find the time for play?
