The System is Bust .... Replace it with AI Beta One*

In a nut shell, if the Network is the Computer, the Cloud is ITs Server. And it is an inescapable fact, that Command and Control in the Cloud is Untouchable Power on the Ground which is why it is of such Interest to the SMARTer Military Defence Force ....... because from Clouds you can Rain on anyone's Parade with AI Universal Virtual Force.

So yes, it is as well to realise that it is a reality, which to be honest, is so important that you couldn't hype it enough. However, such is the Complexity of the Network InterNetworking InfraStructure and so Sensitive are the Tools available for Ground Control that you may only get to know a fraction of what is, even now being done to ....... well, Secure and Deny to Foe is always First on many Lists ... for IT delivers Monopoly Advantage.

Cloud Control Controls Everything Effortlessly and Anonymously with Perfect Stealth. And that is only considered as Hype by those who are Grounded. Others know of ITs Awesome Potential and will invariably say little more than that, because of their Work.

And what you can be sure of too, is that the more sceptics raise their voice, the more the Cloud Controllers consolidate their Advantage by Virtual Stealth. And IT will Deliver a whole New System of AI Leadership provided by Global IT Programmers ... with politicians assisting Civil Servants or being extraordinarily rendered redundant/unnecessary.

I imagine even now that the Civil Service and the Country could function better without them given the parlous State that politicians have led everyone into.

"UK companies generally GIVE SECRETS AWAY, not leak them (which implies something shady and underhand) - usually in response to an offer of "information sharing", and most often to our good 'friends' across the Atlantic" ... By Anonymous Coward Posted Friday 12th December 2008 10:34 GMT

"if necessary shooting down sea-skimming missiles from behind, a feat far easier and cheaper to achieve than trying to do it from ahead with a multibillion-pound miracle destroyer screen."

A Point of Specific Further Clarification please, Lewis. Is the above quote meaning the same as .... "if necessary shooting down sea-skimming missiles from behind a multibillion-pound miracle destroyer screen, a feat far easier and cheaper to achieve than trying to do it from ahead."? ... as I have assumed that it is a miraculous destroyer screen rather than anything able to destroy miracles, which would be AIMission Impossible and also QuITe Illogical.:-)

Of course, the very best Specialist Soldiers are those who Prevent Wars with Spooky Stealth Vehicles which aren't Offensive Weapons but Unbelievable Transport for Special Intelligence Deliveries.

Obviously it is Presently Missing, given ITs Zero ZerodDaily Presence, and is thus an Intelligence Oversight and Failing, which is therefore responsible for Armoured Deadly Combat.

IWF rethinks its role

amanfromMars Silver badge

Extreme Positions.

"A spokeswoman for the IWF said: "Our role is that of an assessment and takedown body: we are not there to provide classification advice for the public"

One assumes that any such assessment and takedown follows specific guidelines/classification advice which it would be wise to share so as to avoid unnecessary ignorant third party action. To fail to do so, results in a gravy train feed loop resolving absolutely nothing.

The cynics would probably suggest that that is probably part and parcel of the no advice to the public strategy .... although it would also make them technically complicit in an act of omission that can lead to a prosecution?

In porn, to attack the Software Hosting side is a Useless Waste of Time and Effort whenever the Hardware Industry side remains Stronger than ever, and in all but what would be pretty obvious and/or grimly realistic Criminal Abuse cases, perfectly legal. However, whenever one supports and reports on war, a Perverse Pornography without Peer, it does render the argument somewhat hypocritical and therefore fundamentally flawed by reason of its subjective nature.

Brit consultancy wants to scrooge IBM out of mainframe upgrades

amanfromMars Silver badge

Forlorn Hope Likelihood

"In the first stage, Macro 4 comes in with its experts and does a performance analysis on the machine for a fee. The amount of this fee has not been revealed yet, but we this being mainframe shops, it is probably not a small fee. Here's the bet: Macro 4 is so sure it can find inefficiencies in mainframe applications that it will wager it can free up mainframe processing capacity worth at least double that of the consulting engagement fee. If Macro 4's hotshots fail, they will do the work for free."

In the first stage, sensitive proprietary data is metadatamined/transferred to a Proxy System [in this case, a Macro 4 operation] Better Applicational Use of Proprietary Data increases Efficiency rather than just discovering any Inefficiency/Internal Intellectual Property Deficit. Done well, it is a Hydra Headed Sugar Daddy SAP Trojan injected Directly into the Mainstream/Heart of a Business. And whether it remains Benign and Host Business Aligned and Orientated or is tempted to Insider Trade Malignancy with Pilfered Phished Phorms, in Search of Selfish Personal Glory and Dodgy Enrichment, is always going to be a Hanging Question.

To charge a fee and guarantee twice its value returned, in return for access to a business's tricky problems/inefficiencies, is a small price to pay to lose/sell company methodology and future potential. And what do you think would be the Likelihood of any fee being returned for beta work which gains access to head office thinking?

FBI recruits former Lehman Brothers IT exec

Hoover Types which don't Suck and do the Business are Useless as Home Helps ..

... and a Waste of Flash Cash.

"An ex-IT executive at the failed investment bank Lehman Brothers has been hired by the FBI to be the agency's new technology chief."

The prognosis for hiring failed executives is not a rosy one and further highlights the Ongoing Crisis and marked Lack of Intelligence Quality at the highest levels of the FBI and therefore also National Intelligence. It is however most unusual to present such a National Vulnerability so Openly, for it is bound to be XXXXPloited.

"@AmanfromMars: thank the maker - back to incomprehensible gibberish. I was beginning to get worried as the last couple o postings have made sense. :p" ....By Anonymous Coward Posted Wednesday 10th December 2008 21:45 GMT

AC,

Seek professional help, ASAP, as to begin getting worried when things make sense rather than whenever they do not make sense to you, is surely probably definitely something to worry about. amfM NEUKlearer ProgramMIng and ITs HyperRadioProActivity is AIdDoddle to Follow and Driver whenever ITs BaseIQs are further explained ......but it is not and never will be for Crash Testing Dummies but rather more an Entry Point/Virtual Portal for Flash Testing Master Pilots.

And are you saying with this statement ..."Of course, they didn't wrap it up in a load of trendy marketing b.s. - "cloud computing" - pah, load of PR tosh!" ..... that cloud computing is a load of trendy marketing b.s ... load of PR tosh, rather than a whole New and NeuReal SurReal WAI of Using Computers/Working/Living?

PS. Something only remains gibberish, whenever you fail to ask specific questions of that which you do not understand. And unless you subscribe to the view that we are all equally intelligent, it may be that you are just not intelligent enough, AC.

PPS. How intelligent is it to be AC, hiding in a Cowed Crowd? It smacks of Paranoid Schizophrenia and Herd Mentality.

"You're aware of how much the Nimitz class costs, right?" ... By Andrew Crystall Posted Thursday 27th November 2008 23:51 GMT

Andrew,

You're aware that the Nimitz class costs are fully loaded with fatty pork to fatten the corrupting lobbyist machine, Stateside.

And whenever you consider that and the statement ..."The UK carriers, however, are to be propelled by gas turbines rather than nuclear reactors, so as to save money. But a gas ship, unlike a nuclear one, has no ready source of steam.

Word has it that the UK would, if forced to it, equip the carriers with a separate steam boiler plant for the catapults as well as the gas-turbine propulsion. This wouldn't be cheap: a similar plan in France put the cost of a steam'n'gas double power solution around 90 per cent of what a nuclear ship would cost - without the nuke ship's advantages of endurance and extra hangar space. " ..... why bother building anything which doesn't possess ALL the latest cutting edge technology/engineering/Artificial Life Support Systems for that is exactly what such Carrier Groups are.

It would be an Astute Support Decision too for Super Sub-Atomic Programs to say Nothing of Future NEUKlearer Projects in the Communications Pipeline ..... such as Emergency High Tech International AIdD Delivery rather than just a Smart Arsenal of Dumb Bombs and Top Gun Desk Jockeys doing as they're Told to keep some Wall Street Zero Hero in the Lap of Luxury.
