If they (security people) are -really- worried then they'd have made sure that like most other systems they have their own battery-backup built in for just these sorts of situations ( not to mention the whole 3G/Wireless backups which would make more sense in order to eliminate the whole cut-wire silence issue )
Wouldn't one of those cell phone jammers make quick work of a GSM alarm module?
Those girls will really feel the Sting of their actions once the Police get involved.
There's no treatment for it and nothing they can do. I'd rather not know for as long as possible, you start going crazy as you watch yourself deteriorating every day.
And to think we used to cluck our tongues at the people who ate badly, smoked, drank, etc who died of a coronary at 60-70. Now you can live to 90 and be a vegetable. Hooray.
Until the mind can be prolonged the same way medicine has prolonged the body, it's all for nothing.
Forgive this for being only tangentially on topic:
The press surrounding Wikileaks's release of secret Afghan war documents has been drawing comparisons to Woodward & Bernstein's release of the Pentagon Papers back in the early 1970s. Public opinion of Wikileaks seems to run the gamut from "serving the public right to know" to "string up the traitors for putting troops in danger".
I'd bet that a sizable portion of those reading this thread (myself included) were born long after the Pentagon Papers issue. For the older Slashdotters in here I ask: Is the comparison valid? Was the public similarly as divided over the Pentagon Papers then as they are over Wikileaks now?
They're also playing fast and loose with the definition of "critical thinking". Critical thinking in that context is "speaking truth to power" by combatting the liberal ivory tower intellectual agenda pushed on kids in schools to undermine their belief in God.
As long as a contrarian position is held, no matter how far removed from reality, that's what typically passes for "critical thinking" these days.
It's penises all the way down.
Sometimes I'll answer these calls by saying "911, what's your emergency?".
Nothing will get you on their do not call list faster than if they think that they direct dialed an emergency serices center. Don't be afraid to chastise them for doing so and threaten fines and jailtime for added effect.
Looking at the "inst. owned" field of those Google Finance links, that would be the collective shouting of "oh shit!" by the institutional traders whose machine-generated trades are liquidating their portfolios. Some scenarios are as simple as "if price dips below $X, initiate sell of y shares", including complex algorithms that consider myriad factors (prices of other stocks, indices, or any other arcane information that a modeler came up with) to trigger a buy or sell. If a trade couldn't be reversed, they would have to take market action to recover.
If you look closely, you can see the flag that Louis Armstrong planted on the surface.
There were eyewitness accounts describing the suspect as a man in motion, also in need of a pair of wheels. This could only implicate John Parr.
While it is possible to "dummy" in trade reports, even a rudimentary glance at the corresponding blotter would throw up red flags as there would be no clearing associated with the trades, and they would have no presence on the tape. I know the auditors were crooked, but this is an aspect of the scam that the SEC should have been all over.
A fake blotter report would take care of this. An auditor following the trade from the initial booking to settlement would be satisfied from seeing these reports. There's zero chance that your average auditing wonk would call the contrabroker to see if the trade was legit.
How could internships be that hard to come by? What company wouldn't want a starving college kid that will do your grunt work in exchange for being shown something vaguely educational for the price of filling out a few forms?
