The role of the government is to make regulations to force companies and organizations to protect their systems, infrastructure and information from any cyberattacks, but also to protect its own national infrastructure such as the national power-grid. A Ukrainian hacker known as Rescator broke into Target Corporation computers in 2013, stealing roughly 40 million credit cards, and then Home Depot computers in 2014, stealing between 53 and 56 million credit card numbers. Warnings were delivered at both corporations, but ignored; physical security breaches using self checkout machines are believed to have played a large role. The size of the thefts has resulted in major attention from state and Federal United States authorities and the investigation is ongoing. In 1994, over a hundred intrusions were made by unidentified crackers into the Rome Laboratory, the US Air Force's main command and research facility. Using trojan horses, hackers were able to obtain unrestricted access to R

Crack Addicts: Life of a Crack Addict

Again, numerous factors contribute to the likelihood and timeline of crack addiction. For example, someone with a history of illicit drug use or mental illness may be at particularly high risk of developing an addiction to the drug. Miner's linear damage rule gives a relatively good estimation for cases where all of the stresses are above the fatigue limit, the number of cycles in each stress level is not so large, and the stress amplitude change is also not so large. The fatigue life, however, has a load sequence effect, especially when the number of the stress amplitude change is too small, as in the two-step test as follows. An iterative approach based on the prediction of the load F-N curve or load service life curve is necessary in the latter case. That the proper integration length for fatigue-effective stresses at crack and notch tips is 2a0, independent of the notch tip radius and the notch opening angle. Depends on the magnitude and sign of the residual stress, and the
