Specific Win10 security improvements include:
- Improvements to address space layout randomization (ASLR), Data Execution Prevention (DEP), the heap architecture, and memory-management algorithms reduce the likelihood that vulnerabilities can enable successful exploits.
- Protected Processes isolates nontrusted processes from each other and from sensitive operating system components.
- VBS, built on top of Microsoft Hyper-V, protects sensitive Windows processes from the Windows operating system by isolating them from user mode processes and the Windows kernel.
- Configurable code integrity enforces administrative policies to select exactly which applications are allowed to run in user mode. No other applications are permitted to run.
And all of this can be yours for the low, low price of constant surveillance (shared with any TLA that asks) and unblockable phone-homing.
I'm sure the folks actually working on this system really didn't appreciate the accompanying artist rendition of a massive laser blast from an evil looking kill-sat orbiting on high.
and to easily ensure that less efficient cars could be charged more for fuel at gas stations.
Because driving a gas-guzzler (usually older as the only thing poor folk can afford) isn't punishment enough. It's like winning the lottery: you beat the stratospheric odds and you end up having to pay ridiculously high tax rates on the winnings even for a state-based game. I'm far from a libertarian, but that has always struck me as total bullshit^.
And yes, I'm also terrified of this coming to the US (Oregon is seriously considering real-time monitored mileage-based taxation).
^ - Back when they were first considering the national lotteries, David Brinkley observed: "The mob used to have something similar called the Numbers game. But the odds were better, and you didn't have to pay any taxes on the winnings."
What one fool would call 'junk DNA', the ox-slow grinding of disease and toxins would call a chance for a few members of the species to survive a near-extinction event.
If we were really looking out for the next generation, we would be teaching them all Post-Apocalyptic Maths, along with how to knap flint and distill alcohol for fuel.
The corporate equivalent of conservative politicians offering 'Thoughts and Prayers' after every mass shooting (instead of doing anything to stop recurrences).
Only 88% of HIV are affected by this change. So not to be Debbie Downer, but as it is now, all this would do is change which strain is the most prevalent. 88% isn't good enough; Hell, 99.99% isn't good enough, as 'Life finds a way' (as far as viruses can be considered alive).
What product manager would say, during the design process, "wouldn't it be great if we could show ads all over the home screen of people's phones!"
I now have this happen occasionally on the lock screen of my Moto G (HBO Go, most of the times). I think it's from AppLock, but I'm on Verizon, so maybe it's them.
But not bullets (or if you are not a hypocritical 'strict constructionist': musket balls).
This will be down-voted into oblivion by the mostly pro-NRA crowd on this site, but the EPA would be well within their rights to ban the use of lead (a proven toxin) in the production of civilian ammunition.
Lead shot has been banned for hunting use for a while now... unless you believe human lives are worth far less than wildlife.
Director James Comey claimed the Justice Department's request is is about "the victims and justice."
No, it's about a US foreign policy based on meddling and propping up dictatorships to continue an endless, profitable war against those that object to all of this. The inevitable (and unending) blowback even domestically is not a bug, but a feature that is exploited to justify increasing the surveillance state.
You know where the populace never has to suffer from the Snow Flake-threatening spectre of Terrorism? North Korea.
Browse that seller of the above items and be amazed at the absolutely insane amount of dirt cheap hacker friendly electronics you can get shipped from china for just a few bucks.

Act now!!
HEAR THE FREEDOM.

Everyone not wearing inductive wrap that locks-in the cooking juices.
Laboring under the delusion that 'little people' laws apply to any of the political elite (and at this level, party affiliation is meaningless).
If we were really looking out for the next generation, we would be teaching them all Post-Apocalyptic Maths, along with how to knap flint and distill alcohol for fuel.
Because 99% of them are fucked already.
"How long does it last?"
"I would like another question."

...when you should be calling him the consummate hypocrite.
You're still not getting into the coven.
All it takes for evil to flourish, is for good men to do nothing - or in the case Carnegie Mellon - meekly follow orders.
I used to think that in the coming decade, the most precious commodity would be potable water.
Now I realize it will instead be true privacy, afforded to only the rich and powerful on our planet, that is soon to become the ultimate Panopticon.

Anon really hates Mint.
Mark Shuttleworth, is that you?
It's the size of the swarm.
Bernie Sanders need to hammer this every time he speaks publicly.
I can't think of a sharper delineation between him and Hillary 'Wall Street Gal Pal' Clinton.
Here's hoping the algorithm is good enough to pick up the fear in someone's eyes that have a knife held up against to them out of camera view.

This - in conjunction with the EPA - is where the FCC should hammer Big Cable's head flat. My ancient Moto HD DVR could be used as a hot plate.
They are waaay ahead of you.
Now they throw the backdoors in for free!
Can you convert that to Danegeld?
