'How DEA Agents Took Down Mexico's Most Vicious Drug Cartel', and how it was replaced with a similar organization within a week. Besides the drug money is keeping a number of western economies afloat.

We don't, it's how the correctional personnel get their jollies :o
"How Did We Get Here"?
Microsoft Windows?
"Integrity means assessing whether the software and critical data within your networks and systems are compromised with malicious or unauthorized code or bugs."
How about designing a 'computer' that can't be compromised by clicking on a URL or opening a malicious email attachment.
I don't have such a problem, I have been Microsoft free for years ..
"I think it's important to recognize that all this happened on the fringes of JPM"
Disingenuous excusing :)
'A botnet consists of many (usually hundreds or thousands) of normal home or work computers [running Microsoft Windows] that have malicious software installed on them.'
Because the underlying hardware MMU can't prevent one process from accessing memory that don't belong to it.
Why Linux should thank Digital Research, Seattle Computer Products and DR-DOS, would make a more accurate title ..

See 'Fringe' Season 1 episode 12 from 7.18s The computer techie is having problems recovering data as 'the harddrive platters must be fused' besides, she says 'I know some pretty aggressive data retrieval techniques, I can give it a shot'. She then dismantles the drives exposing the platters to the air. Does anyone here know what she is on about.
'SteveB went on the road to see the top weeklies, industry analysts and business press this week to give our systems strategy. The meetings included demos of Windows 3.1 (pen and multimedia included), Windows NT, OS/2 2.0 including a performance comparison to Windows and a “bad app” that corrupted other applications and crashed the system. It was a very valuable trip and needs to be repeated by other MS executives throughout the next month so we hit all the publications and analysts.'
'The demos of OS/2 were excellent. Crashing the system had the intended effect – to FUD OS/2 2.0. People paid attention to this demo and were often surprised to our favor. Steve positioned it as -- OS/2 is not "bad" but that from a performance and "robustness" standpoint, it is NOT better than Windows'.

This should have been the sign to get the hell out: "in what startup of five people does the tech team work for five months without ever talking to the CEO?" There's a movie to be gotten out of this 'Milburn' feller.
The short version: The Zetas were money laundering through a U.S. horse breeding and racing operation.
I can't actually read anything written in the newyorker house style. It's the carefully constructed multi-component sentences, the endless baroque digressions, sorry I just can't take it anymore, for fks sake can't they just get to the point :)
"they closed the exhibit because they didn't want the visitors to see the (potentially unsettling/traumatizing) injuries on the baboons"
Have they tried closing the Zoo and releasing the animals back into the wild. Zoos are a nineteenth century anachronism, designed for when that was the only way people could get a look at such exotic animals. Last time I was in one, the animals looked tired, stressed and listless.
What's with the anthropomorphizing cutsy naming, they're baboons not kids.
“It emerged from a political agenda, not a scientific analysis” Yes it is patently obvious there are powerful wealthy backers behind the Global Warming hoax :)

'The scheme targets point-of-sale systems but relies on malware that goes deep into the machine, to the “kernel level,” where antivirus software often does not look'
Jesus H. 'tap dancing' Christ on rollerskates .. is this the state of 'computer' security in the latter half of the year 2015 Anno Domini (1437 Anno Hegirae).
With this root cert anyone could decode SSL traffic between you and a supposed secure web server. These kind of accidental security blunders seem to be a regular occurrence. Are people that incompetent or is there a more sinister reason.
Put quotes around the name part ..

It's been a long time since I was in education, but it seems to be that the source of the stress is having to take endless exams. Something imposed from on high on the teachers as demonstration of their competency.
