Obviously this figure does not include the time wasted training that person on antiquated buttonology, which for most ERPs runs to weeks of lost productivity.
Consumers may have a choice to not buy such locked content, but by offering legal protection for digital locks, the government has created an added value incentive for publishers to utilize them
Yeah, and just where's the added value for the publisher in a product that consumers refuse to buy? Just say no to locked content. Most of it is mass-market crap not worth having anyhow.
Well, "RISC I" was the first VLSI RISC processor, as described in:
D. A. Patterson and C. H. Sequin, "RISC I: A reduced instruction set VLSI computer," in Proc. 8th Annu. Symp. Comput. Architecture, Minneapolis, MN, May 1981, pp. 443-457.
The architectural principle is generally credited to John Cocke, on the IBM 801 minicomputer, though others published first. Some (like me) might argue it goes back to Seymour Cray's designs at Control Data for the CDC6600 PPU but those definitely did not have a minimal instruction set, just a small one with a 6-bit opcode field.
So we have meters that can remotely command thermostat set-back, and others that can romotely disconnect power entirely. If any of these have security problems on the command side, they've essentially opened the door to crooks (or cops) cutting off your power, likely with no evidence trail created. If they shut it off and nobody opens a curtain it's a pretty safe bet that there's nobody home.
There are several existing solutions for this problem. The better specialized postapocalyptech for earthmoving is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ox but for more general usage the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse design is widely preferred.
If in doubt, consult the Whole Earth Catalog.
On the other hand, we're well aware of the desensitizing effects of repeated spectacles. When a Drawing and Quartering replaces Monster Truck Pulls as a place to take the kiddies, don't be surprised if the kiddies end up with rather brutish ideas of how to interact with other people.
Jackie Gleason suggested something like this on The Honeymooners.
Referring back to the western movie images of a band of Indians tying a cowboy to four horses that ride off in different directions, he suggested his co-workers would do that to him, "...except with buses!!!"
It seems to me the toy companies will be only too happy to cater to the sadistic urges of big brothers who will happily use mini-ATVs to quarter their little brothers' Elmo. My bet is this is coming soon to a South Park episode.
Any such device is developed in a company run by medical doctors, not security engineers. While they want to produce an excellent, robust product, they lack the requisite sense of paranoia to value secure implementations.
Besides, when your heart goes on the fritz, do you really want the doc to have to waste time researching login credentials?
Outdated. If the collars can't administer behavior-modification stimuli they aren't worth the trouble. Chains make too much noise when the serfs are doing what they're told. If dogs can get an "Invisible Fence (TM), so can humans. Advanced models could deliver transdermal "medication" for enhanced effectiveness.

the two connectors will be 50mm apart to minimize transmission losses.
No, not that kind,... ... this kind. http://books.google.ca/books/about/?id=WyypzVblUa0C

After we spent years wondering why Vista was such a POS, now we find out Redmond was stoned out of their redwoods.

So isn't this just advocating for the "Linus" model on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FON?
"Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!!!" (Yes, I know Texas is "not in Kansas". That's kind of the point.)
Can I please Please PLEASE get these delivered with the optional shark's head mounting kit?

Given that nobody (except Iceland) is at 100% renewable energy, yes it does matter.
Ok, I'll bite. Just how are they planning to renew those volcanoes once they use them up?
You can't even use batteries for batteries. Most mechanized artillery runs on diesel.
Nah, most of it runs on caterpillar tracks.
The imager can see 12th magnitude stars. It has both high resolution and high sensitivity, but no moving parts. A decade ago it was state of the art stuff. But physics is still physics. At twice the radius, a pixel will get one fourth the light flux, so will need four times longer exposure. That means four times fewer images. However, doubling the CPA also means half the slew rate, so it may not be so bad.

there's already demand/need for artificial production of spiders silk.
It's already being made from GMO goats' milk. The spinnerets are similar to those used for making Spectra UHDPE fibre.
Wow, Motown is rebuilding?

Show us where P.Z. ever said this would be "completely secure". Such a claim is the hallmark of snake oil, as described at http://www.philzimmermann.com/EN/essays/SnakeOil.html
reporting what he says about other people
There's the problem right there. People's opinions of each other are inherently unreliable. Stick to reporting what they say about things instead.
I'm a little confused. Can you restate that with a car analogy?
You're mixed up, like "a red VW Microbus, with shovels, and rakes, and inference by induction."
Damn! Made me snort coffee onto my shirt!
