Re: Hmmm,
They may be running around before but some may be afterwards. Much of manglement has no idea what the 2038 bug is.

Hmn... we did aerial food delivery back in the late '60's whilst in the USMC. Those of poor sods stuck with mess duty periodically got carried away with our dispensing of food... Food fights weren't uncommon back then either. About 2-3 times a year as I recall. The downside was cleaning up which usually involved a call to the base fire crew to hose down the inside of the mess hall. It also usually involved some punishment such those responsible (or who were at least caught) spend the night scrubbing it down after the fire crew left.
That doesn't make much sense, most scorpions are relatively harmless, and a single one won't last long among lots of feet.
Considering the oarsmen had bare feet or maybe sandals, it's quite understandable. Scorpions are nasty looking and tossed in a jug (shaken not stirred) on to another ship probably put as much terror into the scorpion as the scorpion caused the crew.
Instead of having the votes sent "online" to the various collection points, wouldn't it be more secure to just burn a CD or two off each machine and send the CD's? If they're not online they can't be tampered with. But then the news networks, etc. would scream bloody murder because it interrupt their breathless breaking headlines.....
Add in a heavy dose of paranoia about everyone else, and some delusions of grandeur. He seems to think he's the "king" with god-like brilliancy and wisdom. If any of us mere mortals acted like he does, we'd be in a rubber room, wearing a white coat with extra long sleeves and maybe on thorazine.
I almost expect the Space Force to have some spiffy uniforms like say from Star Trek or even from some really bad movies of the 50-60's. Maybe kids outfits like they had cowboy outfits back then? Now if only there were phasers*... maybe next budget then.
Never, ever set one for "kill bulldozer" when you wanted "stun".
An interesting side note is that Congress changed the amounts corporates can contribute to election candidates. They increased it. So.. follow the money and the votes. Dysfunctional? More like "well-paid" by the special interests who have the money.
said Feinstein. "In American law there is no place that's immune from inquiry if criminality is involved,"
Ok... you and the rest of Congress (both houses) and Admin branch go first. And maybe just uncrypt all government communications? Nothing to hide, nothing to fear, right? I'll go sit quietly over there by the beer cooler and wait to see what happens.
Once more, the Constitution comes under fire because government want to take away the right to privacy with some "promise" of never using illegally... I was born at night but not last night.
Even if one juror dissented with an 'Innocent" vote, he still would have been convicted. The only time all jurors have to agree is a murder case. There might be others but that's only crime I know for certain as I've done jury twice, once for an assault crime and once for a murder trial.
Sole source of anything is a problem as it puts you at the mercy of your supplier. Then there's "store your data on someone's computer and they own your data". Does the DoD really believe that any outsourced computer is more secure than what they might have? Is there a guaranteed secured and encrypted line that runs only between the DoD and the outsourced computers?
"The old meeting minutes and printouts of his e-mails were presented to him in a folder, which just happened to be at hand. The presence of several witnesses was a great help."
Beautiful ;)
Always know where the bodies are buried and have documentation. Hallmark of true BOFH.
Since Pai runs the FCC, perhaps the law should make him also liable to some degree. I can see where he'll waffle about, make excuses, and if forced to fine the Telcos, drop the fines for some reason. So, for now, don't I agree, don't expect much change except in the amount of bovine excrement that will be shoveled by the FCC.
I'm also wondering what a non-profit organisation will do with $1.14bn ...
Make the board very happy and very wealthy.... Judging from the article all the inter-related companies involved, I would expect at some point there will be some charges levied for "fiduciary responsibility" not being used. But by then, all the perpetrators will have divvied things up, sold off assets, etc. Which makes me wonder... is Icahn involved in this?
