It always stayed with me that bad actors don’t need to destroy systems, just need to stop access to them. A data centre hit with a small dirty bomb or chemical weapon would take weeks to sanitise.
I always remember a seminar on disaster recovery where the speaker said during the Iranian embassy surge in London 1980 thousands of companies went out of business because staff could not get to work behind the security cordon.
We’re watching #PersonofInterest and Saul Rubinek just appeared in an episode as someone who worked on a secret project for the NSA - can’t help thinking it was #Warehouse13! That would be a great crossover … !
Wasn’t it lucky that the US secured the oil reserves in Venezuela before destabilising the Middle East … 🙄
It’s why I don’t bike anymore …
In computing, we take imagination and make it manifest in the form of software and hardware.
Do they mention who the satellite provider is? It’ll have to be a LEO constellation given the transmit power of a mobile.
I was told that in Roman Catholicism a funeral service is a mass with some extra rites. And a eulogy by someone other than the celebrant is not allowed.

Watching #startrek #StarFleetAcademy and they have suitcases. With wheels. And zips. In the 32nd century. No ubiquitous antigravity? Nonprogrammable matter? No transporter pattern buffer storage?
Is this that “trickle-down economy” sh**e again?
In the 90s a colleague and I needed to go to a trade show in Hanover, but had to fly to Frankfurt. We decided to take the train and booked 1st class. Sitting in the dining car with silver cutlery, linen table cloths, and liveried waiters, I thought THIS is how to travel!!
I laughed out loud when I saw that … performative piety at its best.
It’s worrying he thinks it’s “protectionism”. It’s security and independence.
Ah! Thank you! I’ve just gone back to a Volvo - 2008 XC70. I’ve had 345, 240 saloon, 240 estate, 740 saloon.
Catching curling on the Olympics:
00:01 What is this?
00:05 Oh …

Years ago Volvo entered an 850 T5 estate (I think) into the World Rally Championships and it did really well. They followed up with an ad “you can’t get a sofa in the back of a Porsche”.
It’s almost as if documents like this are written by advisors to make political capital rather than experts in the field … also seeing “let’s fly it and see the reaction”.
Ah spring! When the rain gets warmer! 😆
I’m watching the documentary on the #Voyager project on #BBC4. They are talking to the original project members, and recordings of Carl Sagan. I was 15 when they launched and it’s still going! I’m teary at the stories. #SmallBlueDot
Internment camps are never a debate topic, unless it’s “don’t build internment camps”
I thought that was what I said!

SMS - originally meant for sending configuration and system information but early users of mobile realised it could be used to send messages rather than expensive voice calls.
We need to use the word “thrall” more
That’s a film I’d watch!!
