    Northrop Building US Military’s Future Stealth Bomber

    It is actually necessary because B-1s were so shortchanged during development that they never became the bombers they had the potential to be. B-52s are still chugging along and are basically a flying box that can have any weapons platform adapted to it (outside MOABs). B2s are awesome but there...

    IRS Cut Its Cyber Security Staff by 11% Over Four Years

    Yeah our budgets have been slashed, losing lots of employees just to normal attrition (lots of retirees) and no budget to hire anyone new. then ACA is playing havoc at the IRS, it's a nightmare. Dept of Treasury, Dept of Defense, and Dept of Justice are supposed to be the only really funded...

    IRS Cut Its Cyber Security Staff by 11% Over Four Years

    Technically, the IRS wasn't hacked. The people gained access had gathered taxpayer info from other sources then used that info to get past the IRS's security questions for those taxpayers.

    IRS Says Thieves Stole Tax Info From 100,000

    I'm a tax examiner at the IRS. I'd say that most of our systems are too old for most young hackers to even figure out lol. Though it'd cost me my job, I'm all for getting rid of the IRS and having a national sales tax instead. Even drug dealers and illegals have to buy stuff.

    US Congress Press Release Full Of Copyright-Violating Animated GIFs

    The site isn't making money, no copyright violations. Ad revenue and charging people to see something you don't own are what will get you dinged. Besides, already seen that Obama will push to revoke copyrights if it suits him (Redskins)

    King’s Quest Trailer Goes Live

    Loved this game series (and space and police quest). I think this looks like shit though. Not an adventure game anymore.

    High Res 360 Degree View of SR-71 'Blackbird' Cockpit

    I was Integrated Bomber Avionics Systems - Instrument and Flight Controls Specialist for B-52H's. BUFFs cockpit is pretty similar as far as what instruments are used. Granted b52s have 8 engines, so that's 8 fuel flow, oil temp, oil pressure, engine temp, engine pressure etc. Also, they have...

    China Unveils Laser Drone Defense System

    Can You Get PTSD From A Virtual Experience?

    Drone pilots maybe, still would seem fishy. Video games? hahaha. I worked Guidance and Control for B-52s, I know planes I worked on killed people. Lots of people. I have more right to PTSD than someone getting it from Video Games. That said, if I tried to claim it (and I never would, as I...

    NFL Bans Players from Wearing Beats Headphones on Camera

    a bit harsh there. There are plenty of morons, but there are also a lot of well educated guys. Surprisingly, some of the smartest guys are the biggest (O-linemen). Just because some jocks gave you swirlies doesn't mean they're all idiots.

    What would you do in this awesome GPU situation?

    If it was addressed to someone else from the usps, it's a felony. However, no matter the delivery service usps, ups, fedex, etc., if it's addressed to someone and you deprive them of their property you'll still get in trouble. If addressed to you or no address visible etc... 39 USC Sec...

    More breaking news! BTC is Property, not a currency says IRS

    Being an IRS employee, i've been saying for a while. If they can't destroy it, they'll tax it. If they can't tax you, they'll tax anyone who accepts btc for payment. They usually find out about everything. There are revenue officers who get joy out of crushing other people's joy. Sick...

    Bitcoin Bank Flexcoin Shuts Down After $620,000 Heist

    I work for (but obviously don't speak for) the IRS, I don't think it'd be a stretch to think the govt was targeting bitcoin.

    Russia Just Outlawed Bitcoin and Other Cryptocurrencies

    Don't think it'd be bad thing to put an end to bitcoin. It's bad enough our actual currency is no longer backed by anything substantial.

    Massive Water Cooling Setup Suggestions Welcomed

    As an employee at the IRS, I would not want to be involved in BitCoins or anything like that. Audits are coming down soon and hard, and taxes are going to hurt. I think they want to kill bitcoin tbh.

    [H]ardOCP & ASUS GeForce GTX 660Ti DirectCU II Giveaway

    Well first of all, it allows me to get rid of AMD/ATI junk currently in my system. Secondly 2gb of memory will be a vast upgrade. It would actually run cooler than my current card. Have better/more output options. And will allow more people to experience the awesomeness of being shot by me.
