There's a reason why you run two networks in a location. You have an isolated from the Internet network which all your classified/important info is kept on, and the "public" network which has access to the Internet for those reference purposes. There's no circumstance that would warrant connecting those Top Secret servers to the Internet, patches can be downloaded and places on removable media (the need of patches is debatable anyway if most patches are just addressing security flaws). You put in and enforce a policy of disabling removable media on all machines connected to the private network.
Every other example that has been brought up was a consumable rather than a long term product. While you could argue that a mouse is a consumable, it isn't/shouldn't be designed as such. All these other objects you use them, and you throw them away, so you have to get more.
While the statement was indeed broad and vague, I believe that was the intent of it. So really, find me a single company that has shipped 1 billion units of a non-consumable product. Maybe Hanes with their underwear?
How many other countries in the world have as much of a racial, national, religious, ethnicity diversity as the United States and don't suffer from regular infighting between those differing groups?
The fact that robots do exactly what you tell them to is precisely why they're dangerous. If you have 1 maniacal individual order a platoon of soldiers to slaughter a village, the individual human soldiers may refuse to follow the order. If that same individual has a platoon of robots instead, the villagers are dead as soon as the order is issued.
Remember that most prisons consist of varying levels of risk regarding prisoners. The prisoners do smuggle a lot of stuff in, but the ones doing the smuggling aren't the ones using it. read into the drug trafficking that goes through prisons, it's ridiculous.
Half the time, the prisoners know what you're in for before you even get there. If you're a high risk criminal that's going to be watched they don't care. If you're one that is lower risk and not likely to be watched, they swoop in on you, coerce you to do their bidding (by threatening to make the pound me in the ass prison a reality), and you smuggle the stuff in for them.
The problem isn't so much that they are smuggling in cell phones, it's that the cell phones are helping to facilitate more smuggling. So by blocking the signals, they're hoping to reduce the amount of smuggling that goes on. After all, if the ring leader can't arrange the shipments of cocaine coming in, it's not coming in.
Perhaps northern Australia would be a good place for Australians to build a prison colony. Come back in a 100 years and they might greet you like "G'day mate, mate."
Won't the P'NIX come and nearly destroy us because the creators won't be able to communicate with it? Damn, I new that *NIX would be the destruction of the world.
You can permanently cloak zerg units that can burrow if you control an arbiter. By burrowing the zerg unit just as it enters the arbiter's cloaking field radius, the zerg will become permanently cloaked.
Well, the RIAA seeks $750 per song, at the fair market value of $0.99 that's still a 750:1 ratio of punitive damages, well above the 100:1 that the SCOTUS rejected.
One of the best ways to ensure profiting from information is to make sure no one else can get it to profit before you do. The student could have downloaded all the data, then sent the email in order to get the flaw locked up so no one else could get the data.
There is a big difference between 'can't physically' and 'doesn't know how' which is what McCain explicitly stated.
You're proposing the "can't physically" is not an excuse for not knowing how to do something? Assuming that "can't physically" is preventing you from doing whatever the task is, what is the point in learning that task if you can't do it anyway?
Even in D&D, which has a gargantuan creature size, you rarely use it! It's all about Huge and smaller creatures and colossal creatures! The poor gargantuan creatures. Sometimes you only find them as dragons, but not usually.
Did you happen to log in on a Tuesday? You know, when they always do patches and bring the realms down. Feathermoon is still around, albeit it's just a RP server so if they delete it there's no real loss.
Regardless, contacting character support or a GM in game should allow you to recover a character that Blizzard deleted.
100k would be the tuition for about 1-5 students for private schools that don't receive public money.
I would prefer my children (if I ever have the unfortunate joy of having children) to go to a college with lower classroom sizes (lower enrollment), as this will ensure that it will allow my children more time to get 1 on 1 coaching from professors if they need it.
Sony could have had a patch released for the game, which is what the Muslim group that complained suggested.
You know, save the ton of money wasted recalling, reprinting and reshipping the product and not piss off the fans that weren't offended.
I'm sorry, but recalling was not the smartest or best choice. Instead of offending a religion, they've pissed off those that wouldn't have been offended. They would have ended up with fewer people with negative opinions on the game with a patch.
F.E.A.R.'s music also helped out a lot with that regard as well. To be honest, that game had my senses all a tingle to the point I could only play it for 30 minutes at a time at most.
Thermometers could have network access to report temperatures to a central server. You're talking about potentially simplifying devices to measure temperatures, or devices which traditionally never had network components because of power or other concerns. A hospital could use those chips in their digital thermometers to report a patients temperature to a server so that it's automatically timestamped and loaded into the patients record. With a push towards digitizing patient records, it would provide a simpler interface of inputting data.
With light bulbs it doesn't seem as though it would be useful, since in most cases if a light bulb is broken, no big deal we'll replace it when it when we get around to it. However think about this from a security context. What if the light bulb can report when it's on or off? Combine that with motion sense lights, or just even tracking whether lights are on in a building could provide an opportunity to increase the level of security. The other option for use would be if the light bulb needs to be continuously on but typically isn't seen often by human eyes. If the light bulb is broke and not putting out light, then the chip reports that it's broken so that a maintenance person can get down there ASAP to replace the light bulb before the monster escapes.

Simple, secure.
Isn't aid a form of intervention?

What I find more funny is that he started out at -1.

Let's say it takes you 2 weeks to do 100 hours of work. Do you get paid $4000 after taxes for that?
Well, the RIAA seeks $750 per song, at the fair market value of $0.99 that's still a 750:1 ratio of punitive damages, well above the 100:1 that the SCOTUS rejected.
SNMP != SMTP
Thank you for playing tech acronym soup.

That's not what the zombies say. Brains are brains, man.

Are you taking ample precautions to avoid the grue?
It's all relative. For the average slashdotter to be hipper than all his friends he can do any of the following:
1. Walk up to a girl and say "hi".
I'm about 50% on that one.
2. Move out of his parents basement.
Check
3. Shower.
Check
4. Stop reading /.
Dismal failure.
5. Stop quoting The Simpsons/Star Wars/Monty Python/etc.
I don't quote those frequently, no more than any of my non-technically literate friends.
6. Beat the Cheetos and Mountain Dew addiction.
Caffeine is bad m'kay, though cheetos are succulent.
7. You know what - screw this list. I'm way too hip for this.
That's a lie!

It's only a rental if you buy it for the PC platform, the PS3 and XBox 360 versions are DRM clean.
