Aren't these the same banks that had a police officer prosecuted for attempted fraud because he inquired about some suspicious transactions in his bank account? The premise being that bank systems are secure and perfect, therefore the customer must be at fault.
I can see them taking the same attitude towards PINs. Any abuse must be the customer's fault, since no one else could have known the PIN.
Most of the theaters around here do not have ushers. The staff is selling tickets and popcorn. Once you pass the ticket-taker, there are no theater employees.
I'm old enough to remember when the typical theater had several ushers to help seat the audience and enforce polite behavior. That was before the old theaters were replaced by multiplexes.
Your company should have a security officer who knows the current regulations and requirements, and can provide you with reliable information and training in how to handle classified information.
I went through a similar odyssey when I tried to terminate my Verizon Wireless cell phone account. Their web page has all sorts of automated ways to sign up for service or to modify your service. The one thing conspicuously absent is the option to terminate service. I had to call customer service and deal with a "customer retention specialist" who did everything possible to to try to talk me out of terminating my account. He was very manipulative and it really pissed me off.
They seem to have a lock on the secondary school market in the USA, and have a very strong position in American colleges and universities. Hewlett-Packard has repeatedly shot themselves in the foot since they closed the Corvallis calculator operation, which designed the HP-48GX.
Where do you get your crystals? I'd expect 500 ppm (0.05%) or better from the worst grade crystals. More typical is 100 ppm (0.01%) for low grade crystals.
Part of the reason for multiple software loads is safety. The ascent and entry software is only modified when absolutely necessary. An in-orbit software load with a bunch of new and mission specific code will not kill the crew if it crashes.
Mankind has been launching modern rockets for 60+ years. Even today, a 2% failure rate is a very good record for a modern launch vehicle. Space travel is unforgiving of small errors, and the physics of launching stuff into space forces engineers to accept small safety margins.
There is just one positioner for all of the heads. Only one head is active at any given time.
The servo information is embedded in the data surface, so a single head can be used to read both data and servo information. Every time you switch heads, the drive has to reacquire servo lock on the new surface.
No matter how you configure the heads, you need an independent positioner and servo channel for every active head. Think of it as a microscopic game of Pole Position. Each platter surface is a unique racetrack, and each head needs its own driver.
It's been done in the past, and it isn't cost-effective. You need two positioners, two head assemblies, two read channel amps, two servo channels, and a faster and more complex controller. There are cheaper ways to improve speed.
Even assuming that the distribution network is underground, what happens when the power gets to the end user? It gets distributed over a huge mesh of unshielded wiring inside the building, in other words, a big fscking antenna.
I have an amateur radio license and I also like to listen to shortwave broadcast and utility stations. I already have plenty of electrical noise from my neighbors. Adding BPL would make things much worse. Even if they could successfully notch out the amateur bands, it would still ruin the rest of the shortwave spectrum.
RSA is normally only used for encrypting a private key for a symmetric encryption algorithm like DES or AES. In the group of symmetric encryption algorithms, DES is one of the slowest algorithms. It has many operations that are easy to do in hardware but awkward to do in software. AES is much faster.

See the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual for basic information, and then talk to your company's security officer.

I've always wanted a dozen of the acid-injecting spider robots featured in Runaway.
Plaintiff's lawyers are well aware of this, and often use it to extort settlements from the defendant's insurance carrier.

The dithering looks like crap. My old HP-49G supports grayscale, what about TI calculators?
Give him an M16, this t-shirt, and drop him off in the middle of one of the nastier towns in Iraq, at 0200 local time.

The Soyuz does not have an "ejector seat".

Anybody who is really serious about performance is going to start with 15K rpm SCSI drives, not low-end IDE junk.
Modern recording densities require an independent positioner and servo channel for every active head.

Mountain lions are already snacking on hikers. Although, to be fair, you are much more likely to be killed by your neighbor's dog.
