US focuses eyes in the sky as Hurricane Harvey starts to slam into Texas
Re: I wonder if the US has a unified water grid...
There will never be a Central water grid in the US .
Logistics is easy . Crude pipe line brings in cash. a Water pipe line does not. As result you will have those that don't want to pay for it. Taxes bad. Big Gov bad. Then politicians of 48 stats, crap load of counties and mayors. Then each states has the right to set water quality. Think revamping the NHS computer system to make it centralize and secure and getting the gov the foot the bill so each individual trust does not have to pay. I'm convinced you would have a better chance of that happening on time , on budget before the US would every have a central water grid.

British snoops at GCHQ knew FBI was going to arrest Marcus Hutchins
Re: It looks like they were quite desparate to pin something on him, judging by the last paragraph:
"but generally there are no restrictions, since they've only been arrested and not convicted"
wrong when on bail they can impose all kinds of restrictions Such as no weapons, booze or access to the net.
Ok lets set aside any dislike you might of had for the US. Some things that popped up in my head. A. ) He did it and was passed his usefulness. B.)The real person works for the GCHQ and far to valuable and the GCHQ set his ass up.This just does not smell right from the UK end. It could just be that he really really pissed the wrong person of or the GCHQ believes he did some thing far worse and don't want the egg on their face for using him.
