"artificial intelligence"
"If and when". That's what some government official recently said on tv about China
When those communist dictators in China decide to cancel out this United States of America then they will use "artificial intelligence"
See, you're gullible enough to swallow that "A.I." nonsense
That is how lottery-winners such as Microsoft Corbis Bill Gates will pay off traitors to infect the complete infrastructure with malware
That is all "artificial intelligence" is: malware
You're dopey enough to believe it
When imbeciles such as Chuck Schumer and Tim Burnett are squawking about E.T. secretly imprisoned at Area 51, no one's going to ask *why* the power grid in the USA just became inoperative
No one will try to figure *who* did it.
Because they sold you on "A.I." ridiculousness

Boomer: CAG, Boomer. We've got a lot more contacts showing up. Looks like a couple of squadrons at least.
CAG: All Vipers, weapons free. Let's go get 'em.
(The ships approach each other. The power goes out in the CAG's Viper.)
CAG: What the- (the power goes out in all of the other ships as well) I've lost power. Joely, Joely take over. Joely, can you read me? (his ship bumps into another, also clearly drifting)
Helo: What are they doing?
Boomer: I don't know, they're going straight in.
Helo: Comm chatter's gone, they're not talking anymore.
Boomer: CAG, Boomer. CAG, Boomer, do you read?
CAG: Boomer, this is CAG. If you can hear me, they must have done something to our computer systems, some sort of electronic jamming. I've never seen anything like this.

Boomer: Captain, I've got two communication pods left, sir. That's it. No jiggers, no drones, no mufflers, nothing.
Apollo: Well, at least you've still got your electronic suite. That old crate of mine can barely navigate from A to B.
Boomer: That old crate may have saved your life, sir.
Apollo: How's that?
Boomer: The Viper Mark Sevens? The Cylons shut them down like they threw a switch or something. And I've been hearing reports like that from all over. The only fighters that are having any success at all are either old or in need of some major overhaul.

In our inaugural issue in spring 1995, we report that Microsoft is introducing a developer title, the MCSD, to complement its MCSE
Novell’s far greater number of CNEs (70,000 at the end of 1995), appears to tantalize Microsoft. In a newsletter to its training centers, Redmond admits to “[continuing] its aggressive pursuit of Certified Novell Engineers (CNEs).” For example, the company creates marketing seminars to help CNEs to get training on NT.
As NT begins to penetrate the market at a remarkable pace, the value of MCSEs begins to soar. Suddenly, it seems everyone is migrating from NetWare to NT

Prepping for MCSD Certification
Want something more than the usual study guide for the Solution Architectures core exam? This book is an excellent tool.
By Paul G. Brown July 01, 2000
This guide is for those looking to pass the Solution Architectures (70-100) core exam for Microsoft Certified Solution Developer certification. Not only will this book help get you there, but later it can serve as a valuable reference tool as you design and develop applications

MCSD Revisions on Tap
MCP Magazine has learned Microsoft is in the midst of revising MCSD certification track requirements.
06/01/2001
According to sources, the revised MCSD certification track would cover more ground than the present track, with a seven-exam framework: five core and two elective. The new exams would cover C++; Visual Basic; C#; and a new version of FoxPro, FoxPro 7.0. An emphasis on .NET would be seen on exams covering Web Forms and Windows Forms development, while .NET-specific questions could appear on the Solution Architectures exam (Exam 70-100 in the current MCSD track). The new MCSD set of tests also could feature a case-study-based Component Design exam, plus a developer version of the Highly Available Web Solutions exam that soon will be part of the MCSE program.
“Unfortunately, it wouldn’t be possible to conduct this kind of testing on a mass scale,” Gunderloy said. “It would be just be too expensive and labor intensive. But it would be the right way to judge a developer’s skills.”

New York Times journalists issued subpoenas over Air Force One reporting
Sat, July 11, 2026 at 9:03 AM PDT 4 min read
President Trump's administration issued subpoenas on Friday to some New York Times journalists after the newspaper's report this week on alleged security concerns involving the new Air Force One, according to the paper.
The Department of Justice addressed the subpoenas in a statement, but did not specify who they had been issued to or what publications they worked for. Two statements from The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press said the subpoenas were sent to Times reporters. The New York Times also reported on the filings.
The subpoenas seek to force the reporters to testify before a federal grand jury in Manhattan on Wednesday, the paper said, adding that federal agents delivered some subpoenas to the reporters at their homes.
"Every administration has addressed the crime of leaking national security information. To the extent that we have to investigate breaches of national security, that's something that we will continue to do," the department said, adding that "reporters are not the targets, those leaking classified information are."
"We value and appreciate the important role that the press plays in this country, but DOJ also plays an important role to make sure that the people entrusted with our nation's secrets do what they're supposed to do with that information, which means not sharing classified information," the department added. "We recognize there may always be natural tension there, but we are not going to ignore the law and stop investigating the people who work in the administration and think it's okay to leak classified information impacting national security."
David McCraw, a lawyer for the Times, defended the publication's reporters in a statement on Friday.
"The appearance of federal law enforcement agents on the doorstep of news reporters should shock the conscience of any American who believes in the Constitution and the press freedom it protects," McCraw said.
Bruce D. Brown, president of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, said that the subpoenas "break from longstanding Justice Department practice to protect the public interest and press independence by requiring prosecutors to only seek information from reporters as a last resort when all other avenues have been exhausted."
The developments come after the president flew the new Air Force One to a NATO summit in Turkey. But he departed Wednesday on one of the older-model Air Force One jets for a trip to Mildenhall, a Royal Air Force base in Suffolk, England. The two jets both flew to Mildenhall. Mr. Trump then switched to the newer plane for the flight home to Joint Base Andrews.
The plane swap came as a shaky ceasefire with Iran had collapsed, with the U.S. launching airstrikes on Iran and Tehran attacking three Gulf Arab states.
The paper reported Wednesday the switch had come at the urging of the Secret Service. On Thursday, the paper said the newer plane lacked some of the advanced security features of the older aircraft, including antimissile capabilities. Both articles cited anonymous sources.
CBS News also reported that the Secret Service advised Mr. Trump use the old jet. U.S. officials told CBS News that the new plane was hurried into service and is lacking some desired capabilities, and a former U.S. government official who spoke to CBS News expressed concern that there wasn't enough time or money to outfit the new plane with defensive capabilities to fully meet the requirements to serve as Air Force One.
Mr. Trump, at the time, denied any security concerns, posting on social media that the stop in Mildenhall was so that service members there could view the new jet. During the flight, the president denied to the reporters accompanying him that security concerns involving Iran were a factor in flying two planes home. Asked if he was aware of any credible threats against Air Force One by Iran, Mr. Trump brushed off the question.
"I have a threat all the time. I'm No. 1 on their list," he said
The White House later denied any security shortcomings on the new plane. Spokesman Steven Chung said in a statement that the new plane "is a state-of-the-art aircraft that has been fitted with high-level security protocols that ensure the safety of the President and his staff."
