The primary purpose of the hearing is to instill fear into anyone else who might have access to sensitive information the public might want to know.

The primary purpose of military justice is to support the military's missions of deterring wars and winning them. In fact, that's supposed to be the purpose of everything the military does.

They're going to make some of their employees very disgruntled. Their company depends on keeping a bunch of servers running. Am I the only one who sees the potential reliability problem here?

UNESCO calls some sites in Israel "world heritage sites". Considering how

Considering that UNESCO doesn't actually do anything in Israel, if they kicked Israel out the reaction would be a big yawn.

If they've spent the last 20 years close to the poverty line, they're probably never going to make enough money to pay back the loan, so we might as well forget about it.

You're correct from the technical perspective. But my point is that a CTO of a fortune 500 company would rather spend more money than make changes that could impact uptime. "If it ain't broke, and breaking it would cost you your job, don't fix it"

The organizations that still use mainframes are up-time fanatics with business models that suffer when a system is unavailable for a few minutes. As a result, they're so conservative that if they were running the country we'd still be under British rule. As long as mainframes work, they'll keep using them rather than risk changing to a different system.

Note: I'm an IBM employee, but this is my personal opinion, not IBM's. Technically speaking, corporations don't have opinions, except maybe "more money good, less money bad".

Good point. What makes things even worse is that the terrorists don't have to actually pull off an attack. Just threatening it might be enough.

I have never been in a theme park in a place where the wages are as low as they are in Jordan. I suspect that:

1. They'll be over staffed by our standards.
2. Security will be walking around with their sniffing dogs, all the way from the parking lot to the gate.

It will probably be a bit more difficult. How much do you want to bet there will be explosive sniffing dogs and metal detectors at the entrance? It would be vulnerable, but an attack will be harder.
