Comment Shadow Brokers? Investigate Liara t'soni (Score 2) 117

Clearly, that Asari has been up to no good. I have a good lead by someone in the Cerberus Network that she should be investigate. You may not know her, but you would remember her mother. Matriarch Benezia sided with Saren, a rogue SPECTRE. We all remember what happened with the Citadel. #NeverForget.

I don't play WoW either, but I used to play it. It used to be a multi-million dollar market selling digital currency (in-game gold). Chinese gold farms popped up and made so much money doing it. Even Steve Bannon got involved with it. http://www.avclub.com/article/... It's not seen as just a game to people like Steve Bannon. It was seen as an opportunity.

A broken clock happens to be right twice a day. I don't know nor care what your political affiliation is, or what you think mine is, but I'm more concerned with privacy and having things the government doesn't have its hands in. There's a lot of things I support the government(s) having their hand in, in terms of healthy civilization maintenance, but when is too much, too much? Perhaps they should also monitor Blizzard's gold currency system for World of Warcraft too. Never know if those nerds are terrorists in Azeroth!

Comment Internal Devs way to go (Score 1) 209

I used to work for an Aerospace Manufacturing plant, and their ERP system M1 wasn't cutting it. I developed a complete web-based portal system that interfaced directly with the SQL server to bring the data to life. I now sell my software I made to other businesses that use the M1 ERP system and customize it to their needs. I highly recommend that route. You won't be disappointed when you see your data come to life in an orderly fashion.

United States Begins Flying Stealth Bombers Over South Korea 567

skade88 writes "The New York Times is reporting that the United States has started flying B-2 stealth bomber runs over South Korea as a show of force to North Korea. The bombers flew 6,500 miles to bomb a South Korean island with mock explosives. Earlier this month the U.S. Military ran mock B-52 bombing runs over the same South Korean island. The U.S. military says it shows that it can execute precision bombing runs at will with little notice needed. The U.S. also reaffirmed their commitment to protecting its allies in the region. The North Koreans have been making threats to turn South Korea into a sea of fire. North Korea has also made threats claiming they will nuke the United States' mainland."

4-Billion-Pixel Panorama View From Curiosity Rover 101

A reader points out that there is a great new panorama made from shots from the Curiosity Rover. "Sweep your gaze around Gale Crater on Mars, where NASA's Curiosity rover is currently exploring, with this 4-billion-pixel panorama stitched together from 295 images. ...The entire image stretches 90,000 by 45,000 pixels and uses pictures taken by the rover's two MastCams. The best way to enjoy it is to go into fullscreen mode and slowly soak up the scenery — from the distant high edges of the crater to the enormous and looming Mount Sharp, the rover's eventual destination."
