When a dolphin died in New Jersey's South River last year, Carly Sitrin wanted to know what killed it.

 So she filed a public record request to the NJ Department of Agriculture in order to get the necropsy results. 

The DOA finally responded last week with the weird decision to deny the release of the record on grounds of medical privacy. 

The response reads in part:

 "We are in receipt of your request for information (#W101407) under the auspices of the State’s Open Public Records Act (O.P.R.A.). 

Specifically, you requested any and all reports associated with the necropsy of the dolphin that strayed into the South River on August 5, 2015 in Middlesex County, New Jersey. 

This request is denied as it would release information deemed confidential under O.P.R.A., specifically information related to a medical diagnosis or evaluation. 
(E.O. 26, McGreevey)"

Steve Jobs of Apple was originally a Phone Phreaker

Hackers" — people who non-maliciously test the limits of technology — have a very different societal standing depending on the country they live in. 

To illustrate the concept, consider the history of hackers in the United States versus those in Germany. 

Both communities have their genesis with the telecom systems of the 1980's, when hackers were called Phone Phreakers and traded secrets on telephone system exploits.

 These groups were the earliest to test the security and vulnerability of the burgeoning Internet, but their paths diverged.

 Hackers in Germany formed political parties while in the US they were targeted by law enforcement. 

The result is two very different communities filled with highly skilled individuals, but one must fly under the radar while the other enjoys much wider open acceptance.

I completely turned off updates on my Windows 7 machine, here is why...

'Get Windows 10' Turns Itself On and Nags Win 7 and 8.1 Users Twice a Day.

 As you may recall, Microsoft has delivered KB3035583 as a 'recommended update' to users of Windows 7 and 8.1. 

What this update does is install GWX ("Get Windows 10"), a program which diagnoses the system to see if it is eligible for a free upgrade to Windows 10, and if so, asks the user if they would like to upgrade (though recently, the option to decline has been removed).

 Some users have gotten around this by editing Windows Registry values for "AllowOSUpgrade", "DisableOSUpgrade", "DisableGWX", and "ReservationsAllowed" in order to disable the prompt altogether.

 This advice was endorsed by Microsoft on their support forums.

According to a report by Woody Leonhard at InfoWorld, the newest version of the KB3035583 update includes a background process which scans the system's Windows Registry twice a day to see if the values for the four aforementioned registry inputs were manually edited to disable the upgrade prompt.

 If they were, the process will alter the values, silently re-download the Windows 10 installation files (about 6 GB in total), and prompt the user to upgrade.

1. Click Start, type Windows update in the search box, and then click Windows Update in the Programs list.
2. In the left pane, click Change settings.
3. Select the option that you want.

A new study once again shows vaccines have no link with yet another batch of medical disorders. 

The vaccine in question is a relatively new HPV vaccine called Gardasil, mainly targeting preteens to reduce infection. 

Phil Plait has more on this, debunking anti-vax claims and explaining why you should receive the vaccine:

 "It’s another typical anti-vax call to arms due to a complete and gross misunderstanding of how reality works. 

To them, if something happens after something else, it was caused by that first thing. This is the classic post hoc, ergo propter hoc fallacy.

But the Universe doesn’t work that way. And this kind of bad thinking has consequences.

 In the U.S. alone, 79 million people are infected with HPV. 

 That’s more than a quarter of the entire population.

 Fourteen million new cases crop up every year.

 Gardasil can substantially cut those numbers back—it’s working, and working well, in the U.S. and Australia—but not if the fearmongering falsehoods by anti-vaxxers get traction."

Oh Really!?
