the saddest part about this youtube is that is wasn't comedy. it was a documentary

The saddest part about your post is that you thought you were being clever...

Heh, that's not my experience with the younguns I have working for me. Fertile soil down my way.

Me either. I've got some of the hardest working people in the world who are that age.

This was my train read this morning...

The data on three-quarters of the machines on the main computer network of Saudi aramco had been destroyed. Hackers who identified themselves as Islamic and called themselves the Cutting Sword of Justice executed a full wipe of the hard drives of 30,000 aramco personal computers. For good measure, as a kind of calling card, the hackers lit up the screen of each machine they wiped with a single image, of an American flag on fire.

A few technical details of the attack eventually emerged into the press. Aboard the U.S.S. Intrepid, in New York Harbor, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta told a group of C.E.O.’s that the aramco hack was “probably the most destructive attack that the private sector has seen to date.” Technical experts conceded the attack’s effectiveness but scorned its primitive technique. “It wrote over memory five, six times,” one hacker told me. “O.K., it works, but it’s not sophisticated.” Even so, many current and former government officials took account of the brute force on display and shuddered to think what might have happened if the target had been different: the Port of Los Angeles, say, or the Social Security Administration, or O’Hare International Airport. Holy shit, one former national-security official recalls thinking—pick any network you want, and they could do this to it. Just wipe it clean.

Dont you know anything? The real threat to america is grandmothers, cub scouts and cripples trying to board planes with more than 3.5 ounces of shampoo or god forbid a bottle of hand sanitizer. Forget about security for our networks, bridges, nuclear power plants or dams. Fake shampoo is where the real threat lies.

our company is constantly getting hacked - of course it sucks ass and makes all these over the top security precautions a pain in the ass, but on the other hand, they are so consumed with Chinese and Russian hackers, they don't give two shits that my I.P. address hits the goat pen 20 times a day.

t least some of the broad data collection by the National Security Agency, revealed in various reports over the past two days, was authorized under a controversial part of the USA PATRIOT Act—section 215.

The court order demanding telephone data—though not call contents—from Verizon, published on Wednesday by The Guardian newspaper, rested on that roughly 550-word provision. It's unclear whether the newly reported collection of "audio and video chats, photographs, e-mails, documents, and connection logs," from at least nine major internet companies rests on the same authorization, though the practice appears similar in design to the Verizon snooping.

Section 215 has been the subject of criticism for years, with some senators and several privacy groups expressing concern about the government's broad interpretation of what it allows. It authorizes the government to order businesses to turn over "the production of any tangible things (including books, records, papers, documents, and other items)," provided a secret court approves and deems the data relevant to a national security investigation. In a report last year, the Congressional Research Service summed Section 215 up succinctly: "It both enlarged the scope of materials that may be sought and lowered the standard for a court to issue an order compelling their production."

National Constitution Center President and George Washington University law professor Jeffrey Rosen explained its history to NPR:

Section 215 was an expansion of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which was originally passed in 1978. That act gave the government the ability to issue secret warrants for specified items, like records from car rental companies or storage facilities, on the approval of a secret court if that was relevant to a terrorism investigation and if the suspect was a suspected spy or terrorist.



Section 215 dramatically broadened the scope of that power. Now the government can seize, as you said, any tangible thing. In addition, 215 removed the limitation that it had to be a suspected spy or terrorist whose records were being sought. Now, anyone's records can be sought. The only limitation is that the secret warrant has to be relevant to a national security investigation.

the bottom line is you cannot trust your government - not for health care, education, environment or most of your , your individual rights.

You forgot golf clubs. Those things alone can take down the secured door to the cockpit.

So Louisville goes to the CWS. Big 12 decision to add TCU in a market they already owned instead of the team that won a Sugar Bowl, basketball title, chickball runners up, and a CWS trip looks like a really shrewd move now.

Texas didn't want the competition.

Glad we got Louisville. In football, they beat UFag in the BCS and in hoops, they win the National Championship. So now (that they are in the ACC) they are probably going to suck like the rest of us.

And FSU can suck it. How about them Hoosiers representing the Big 10-4 in the CWS!!!

From the last administration that fucked everything up, their only 2 hires that panned out / didn't fuck things up were the baseball coach and Terry Hoeppner

Arizona

Drunk driving is a serious problem in the United States, impacting many thousands of Americans every year, and so is racism. The two issues converged recently during a routine traffic stop of 64-year-old retired firefighter Jessie Thornton by police officers in Surprise, Arizona.

The motorist was handcuffed and taken into custody. Thornton submitted to a Breathalyzer sobriety test and blew a 0.000 blood alcohol content (BAC).
Thornton was eventually free to go, but not before his car had been impounded and the Arizona MVD had been notified of the DUI charge.

Despite the seeming exoneration of the test, the suspect was charged with a DUI, an assessment that led Thornton’s attorney to quip that the real crime was, “D-W-B. Driving While Black.”
Thornton told the local ABC News affiliate that he has been pulled over 10 times and issued four tickets since moving from Ohio to the retirement community of Surprise. This latest stop was the first time he’d been taken to the Surprise lockup.

The arresting officer cited the retiree’s red eyes as grounds for the arrest. Thornton credits chemicals in the neighborhood L.A. Fitness’s lap pool for the redness, a theory in line with Surprise law enforcement’s resident DRE—drug recognition expert.
According to Thornton: “After he did all the tests, he says, ‘I would never have arrested you; you show no signs of impairment.’ ”

A blood test that revealed no trace of alcohol or drugs validated this perception.
Thornton was eventually free to go, but not before his car had been impounded and the Arizona MVD had been notified of the DUI charge, which resulted in a notification that his driver’s license was being suspended and he would be required to attend “some sort of drinking class or something.”
Rather than attend the drinking class, former firefighter filed a claim against the city of Surprise seeking $500,000.

The National Education Association, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the American Civil Liberties Union, OneAmerica and the Racial Profiling Data Collection Resource Center of Northeastern University are among the many credible and able organizations working to heighten the awareness of and eradicate racial profiling from U.S. law-enforcement policy and practice.
Though harassed, inconvenienced and caused physical distress, Jessie Thornton can count himself among the luckier victims of racial profiling. He has the maturity and resources to fight back. His lawsuit is not about the money, he told ABC News: “I just don’t want any of this to happen to somebody else.”

DWB. IB would love this.
