San Bernadino D.A. Says Shooter's Phone Could Harbor "Cyber Pathogen" (theguardian.com)
Mr.Intel writes with the Guardian's report that : San Bernadino D.A. has a novel argument for why Apple should be forced to provide the FBI with tools to decrypt the iPhone once used by mass-shooter Syed Rizwan Farook: a "dormant cyber pathogen," he says, could have been unleashed by the county's electronic infrastructure, and only by examining the phone's content can any really be sure. From the article: The questionable claim comes from Ramos's amicus brief in the case, filed with the US District Court on Thursday afternoon. In it, Ramos supports the FBI's argument that Apple should be compelled to build a one-use version of its operating system to load on to the seized phone – used by the mass-murderer, but still technically property of his employer, San Bernardino county – in order to weaken the security and allow the Government to brute-force the shooter's passcode. ... Ramos said: 'The iPhone is a county owned telephone that may have connected to the San Bernardino County computer network. The seized iPhone may contain evidence that can only be found on the seized phone that it was used as a weapon to introduce a lying dormant cyber pathogen that endangers San Bernardino County's infrastructure and poses a continuing threat to the citizens of San Bernardino County'.
Asians will see a pile of shit on the ground and the first thing that pops into their heads is "Can I eat that?"
Gelatin blood cubes, century eggs, dogs, cats, monkey brains, elephant feet, tarantulas...there is nothing that asians won't stick into their mouths.
Of course. Basic human survival depends on obtaining nutrition to keep your body functioning. The first reaction should always be "can I eat that". In that way the Asians are no different than the Americans, only that you at some point decided that you'll eat things based on look and opinion rather than nutritional value.
I find it funny that you have no problem eating the remains of an animal that spends it's life rolling in a mudpile and it's own shit with a side of a chicken's period for breakfast, but can criticise someone eating an animal that spends a disproportionate amount of it's time keeping itself clean (cat).
Funny side story in Australia we got news of the European scandal where someone was substituting horse meat in pre-packaged lasagnes. I heard this news on the way home from the local market where a German butcher sells delicacies. 2 friends of mine in the car lost their mind and were disgusted at the prospect.
I bought a horse salami at that butcher and just kept quiet.
