Until we have idiot-resistant, hard-to-spoof, low-false-positive and cost effective chemical sniffers for explosives and NBC weapons, we will have to rely on other methods.
The behavior profiling methods used by the Israelis are effective, but rely heavily on experienced and highly motivated screeners. A computerized implementation of these methods might be combine facial recognition (for known threats), eye tracking and full body motion detection to characterize behavior and identify atypical behaviors for further screening. Voice monitoring might also permit some assessment of stress levels. Of course, those with nervous ticks or Parkinsons may have to submit more often to supplemental screenings. If you were stressed out from a bad day, it just might get worse. Nothing's perfect.
It is becoming more widely accepted that CO2 is actually a trailing indicator of temperature change. From analysis of ice core samples, CO2 content changes actually trail temperature changes by 100s years.
This is certainly sufficient cause to re-evaluate the commonly proposed causes of global warming.

One could kip on over to MyFace.com, the anti-social site for Narcissists. Perhaps BookSpace.com, the mildly social site for librarians & bookworms, would suit you better? No, this being slashdot, SpaceFace.com, the site celebrating the "face" on Mars and the Eskimo nebula, would probably be best.
With a warrant, approved by a judge, police may search your filing cabinets looking for a specific type of files, let's say, records related to a suspect business deal. If they find a locked drawer, they may ask you to open it, then force it open, if you refuse. In the process of that search, should they come across illicit drugs, child pornography or other incriminating evidence, they are not required to dismiss that evidence as not pertinent to the warrant. In fact, they are required to act on it.
Why should your PC/hardrive/NAS/thumbdrive/laptop/iPhone be more or less protected than the metaphoric filing cabinet?
I oppose any library system that won't allow me the freedom to keep a book past the due date. Sadly, that's my sole form of passive civil disobedience!
In the last two photos of TFA, striations are clearly visible. Since the craters appear to be mostly round, I doubt the impacts would carry ejecta linearly along the asteroid. Any ideas?
A place where sick people kind of _have_ to hang around, many with immune systems that are depressed by illness or suppressed by medications. Decreasing the likelihood that staff, who are there most of the week, will transmit virulent illnesses to at-risk patients is a good thing.
I judiciously avoid terms that will make my internet experience suspect for the key word scanners. Words like Keyhole, Echelon, Einstein might cause notice of your inputs so just be care{click, dial tone}
"Out of the Silent Planet" will stretch a high school student vocabulary, but it should maintain interest. It will also sell well in conservative areas as being from a known Christian author. It also leads into a trilogy of increasingly harder reads with "Perelandra," and "That Hideous Strength."
How old is the FleetSat platform they are hacking? Some of these birds have been up there a long, long time. Like way before commonly available electronics allowed any jose hacker to reach a satellite. Something to consider before bashing the Navy about an unsecure link. As an ex-AF guy, I can tell you that that last allowable pounds put on a MEO or HEO satellite are station keeping propellant. Just look at the mars rovers to see how long many space craft outlast their design lives.
Several EE students found a similar exploit for the Motorola 68010, way back when (early 80s). Bumped the user into supervisor mode with a little register manipulation. At least Motorola sent us updated models after they fixed their undocumented stack issue.

Lends credence to the sci-fi meme.

The government has been there, done that. Can you say, "EPIC FAIL?"
You make "furtive" sound bad. You insensitive clod!
Perhaps it will be equally as effective as the Outer Space Treaty of 1967, the efficacy of which is in serious doubt.
"Among its principles, it bars States Parties to the Treaty from placing nuclear weapons or any other weapons of mass destruction in orbit of Earth, installing them on the Moon or any other celestial body, or to otherwise station them in outer space."
I, for one, don't want to see any nukes on the interwebs.
I guess you really didn't git it, did you?
Next stop, Sacramento!

A full box of punched cards was high bandwidth, back in the day. It certainly beat a 300 baud terminal that was largely ignored by the mainframe.

Perhaps Assange should ask president Obama to issue an executive order banning the use of character assassination as an instrument of diplomacy. ~

The advent of Karaoke!
I already have that capability in an Ad Hoc wifi connection.

The more the article told me about the experiment, the less I cared. ~

Makes a perfect, decorative paperweight for all your large scale designs to take over the world! Narff!

Will my understanding of OpenOffice Base become passe before I finish coding the perfect softball coaching database app?
