When I was administrator in small ISP (about 100 customers) we solved that by monitoring rate of outgoing connections to port 25. Too many connections in 10 minutes - start blocking and call the customer to confirm if this is legit. If yes (happened exactly one time) customer got whitelisted, otherwise we would send somebody to help them with antivirus setup and cleaning up their machine. We also had transparent Squid http cache - not mandatory, but since traffic from cache was delivered at full LAN speed, almost everybody wanted it. The point is that it is possible to take care of the network without treating customers like irritating pests, it just needs a little extra effort.
No society based on consent can *enforce* laws a significant portion of Slashdot readers disagrees without commensurate erosion of state legitimacy or otherwise moving of needle from "consent" toward "force".
FTFY. Slashdot-dwelling Randbots are against it, not Dutch public.
Yes, of course. European Commission has 'Linux has failed envy' and that's why they are unjustly punishing Apple. You may get '-18 flamebait' soon but only because there is no '-18 retarded cultist'
But not for barley or oats. Using process that worked for one thing to improve another is a progress. If they found new commercially viable (or at least promising) process, then it is potentially a breakthrough.
Problem of important people getting upset could be solved by quiet warning to short the stock. As for hipster riots? I would pay to see this - it would be pure comedy gold.
I think you are overly optimistic. Even after you cull 'undesirables', remaining population will again divide into 1% rich and 99% everybody else, just with different baseline. It is like stack ranking in MS - no matter how many people get fired, there are *always* bottom 10% destined for next cut.
I would love to have at least one of those fearful devs to handle documentation. But unfortunately we hire only people with confidence to actually code.
Meh, baboon. You seriously underestimate capitalism. I prefer to find third-world street urchin most bio-compatible with me, buy him for $1000 from the family and just get his heart.
Wow... you are a moron. Go design next artificial heart if you think it easy compared to slapping encryption, message signing and some sanity checks (like ignoring command to slow down below safe level) on communication protocol.
Encryption, message signing... does it ring any bells? And why exactly do you think that artificial heart would even accept command to slow down below safe level? Even ignoring communication security, you would not want to give your patient easy way to kill himself by mistake.
Here is what scares me. We do not seem to be doing much to keep the brain healthy into very old age.
Because we have no bloody idea what to do about it. In comparison heart is simple - it has to pump blood and that's it. I would rather not put all medicine on hold until we figure out brain.
And of course 90% comments are whining about wifi. As if 'wifi' was somehow synonymous with 'unsecured and unauthenticated wifi'. Getting this secured is trivial compared to making a heart that will keep patient alive for years. Until it is possible to make artificial heart respond to nervous system and speed up/slow down as needed, having some control system will improve patient's quality of life.
Then how exactly you want to control it? Artificial heart won't speed up/slow down automatically in response to oxygen needs of your body because it is not controlled by nervous system. Maybe you want wired connection with plug embedded between your ribs? I don't understand why 'wifi' means 'unsecured/unauthenticated wifi' to you.

I am sure there will be at least one idiot who instead of running will try to post cool picture of flaming aircraft to facebook.

So if deal between Apple and Ireland was illegal, shouldn't Ireland be fined as well?
Spoken like a person who never had to go on empty stomach.
To hell with meth ingredients, even reducing amount of fertilizers washed into groundwater would be great thing.

They are replicating completely natural process, so I doubt it.
So many comments and no remarks on girls' looks, stupid 'kitchen' jokes, etc. yet? Trolls are asleep or Slashdot has finally grown up?

Just wait until African researcher works at MIT ...

As a non-American I find forbidding car manufacturers from selling directly to customers even more bizarre.
Except the data breach you are alluding to was the fault of people using weak passwords, rather than a fault in the security of iCloud.
And you know this because ... ?

You keep telling yourself that. Meanwhile, in GB nobody fears getting robbed by police. Or getting killed for not dropping to the ground within 100ms.
