Systemic pesticides don't wash off. They enter the plant and work from the inside. Root vegetables (potatoes, carrots, radish, etc) are pretty much sponges that suck up anything in the soil, pesticides included.
This is not the same thing is a million ton of steel hurdling toward you at 60 mph
Actually, it's very much the same. The SCADA systems that control our rail system would definitely be included in this.
No one's lives are at stake here.
Yes, they are. That's the whole point of 'critical' infrastructure.
The Internet has been working fine without Governments interfering.
What Internet is it that your talking about? The only one I'm aware of was Developed By the Government. Not sure how one can develop something without interfering with it.
I guess I can no longer count on my plan to sell copies of Wonder Woman's invisible jet to make my billions.
The majority of your spam SAYS it comes from [insert provider here]. This is intended to stop that.
Have to, or get to?
Yahoo is an online services company, they just haven't figured it out yet. When Terry Semel came on board, he thought Yahoo was a content company, and worked hard with his Hollywood background to build that out. When he failed, Carol Bartz came on board with the idea that Yahoo was an advertising platform, and worked with Microsoft to expand that offering. Without a vision of how Yahoo can provide better online services to it's end users, no CEO will be successful.
These aren't email addresses with passwords to those accounts, they're the email address and password someone used to sign up for some random, unknown website. Without knowing what website, most of these combos are worthless. It might have been a hack of the server, but chances are it's just some DB (and not DataBase) admin who published his user list. If you're using the same email address to register for websites, make sure you don't use your password for that email address when you register.
In completely unrelated news, Chromium laptops start shipping next week.
Small companies can quickly and easily leverage open source software to save money, but in an Enterprise environment, once you've selected your platform, be it MS or Open, deviating from that platform can be costly. If you've got a standard MS desktop image rolled out across the hospital, are using System Center Operations Manager to manage them, and have business processes tightly integrated with Sharepoint, implementing open source now becomes a multi million dollar migration effort, and breaks the numerous benefits available from a homogeneous environment.
Management dictating a Microsoft (or any other) ecosystem as policy, and requiring IT to support that policy is in line with Enterprise IT best practices.
There's truth in the truth argument. As a gov't agency, you can't provide an endorsement of a commercial product, but you're required to provide transparency in what you do. The public has a right to know how their tax dollars are (or aren't) being spent, so an information page on the site should fly. I'd follow federal guidelines though, and make sure you don't use any logo images, keep it text based.
If you flaunt it, expect to have it trashed.
