The internet is also a great danger to the world. It allows the propaganda-partners of big corporations (especially oil companies and arms companies) to convince people about the existence of WMDs, etc.
You mean like how the US government censors war reporters. Or how the US government doesn't allow the caskets of soldiers to be photographed?It's not just dictatorships that cover their citizens eyes. In some aspects, you can say that the US government is worse because we are governed "by the people" but the people aren't allowed the vital information needed to make important governmental decisions. At least, in a dictatorship, you expect this kind of thing.-1 offtopic, -1 flamebait
"Examples might be defacing the website, or stealing customer information. A more subtle attack may be to change the price in a database indicating a sale that doesn't really exist.
I understand your explanation (and it's a good one) but wouldn't your examples fall under the "cyber attacks" category on that same chart?
See what you think of PcLinux . It's built on Debian, so it's not too "fringey". Here are some screenshots. It compares nicely to the Windows XP User Interface, but not so closely as to be confused with Windows. The descriptions of programs are fairly easy for newbies to understand, and even the front end for synaptic should make it pretty simple for them to add on programs if they want to.
I work in Visual Prosthetics.Here's the thing with any sort of augmented vision: there's no way you can justify the risks of implantation when a fully external device that shows whatever mapped, morphed, or manipulated version of vision will work as well or better.If you have normal sight, or even nearly normal sight, then why have an implant that carries significant risk, will be large and potentially painful for some time to come, will require frequent recharging, will be expensive as getout, when you can
Does lack of IR/UV vision stem from a lack of proper optical reception (cones), or lack of neural ability? My guess is that the brain would try and interpret what it is shown, regardless of what our eyes have evolved to do.
...on windows yu have the pagefile with its dimension, but the _actually_ used space within the pagefile is not the size of the file. having the pagefile fixed size doesn't mean having a fixed amount of ram paged or 99% consumption - who's clueless now?
That's because you need more than 15 years to get statistically significant figures.People have trouble comprehending anything that takes longer than 20 years to prove, that's the problem. Innate flaw in our psychological makeup.
No flame. Just a sad shake of the head for your sneering attitude. Read up on Mennonites (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mennonite). They are not the Amish, and most of their sects don't prohibit modern conveniences such as TVs. Blame the parent posts for leaving you with that impression if you must, but ultimately the responsibility was yours.
"A few years ago, I was moving a new bed into my apartment, and this woman who lived in the building opened the front door for me with her key. She said, 'I'm not worried because a rapist wouldn't have a bed like that.' That's how she started the conversation. Now, what I should have said was nothing. What I did say was 'You'd be surprised.' '
Yes, and the other side of the coin is engraved with the same old picture that Google are idiots and the music industry must still die for its centuries of transgressions against mankind.

I saw this robot at Kinetica. It was not very impressive. First of all, the hardware seemed poorly designed. It was incredibly shaky. When it drew a square around an image, the result were four wobbly lines that did not even connect.The software, of course, is the more interesting part - and a complete mystery.

All those car factories would still have existed, just with new owners now. They could still make cars, or perhaps something else. They would have needed workers, and would have been in a position to offer a fair, but less ridiculous salary and benefits package for factory work.
A real bankruptcy and liquidation is that, stuff gets sold, the new owners use it. Stockholders would have been taught a lesson that they need to do due diligence on their executive employees better, management would have learned you can't be stupidly top heavy, and the rank and file boys would have realized they need to not expect as much as they think they are worth, not in a global economy.. So all around, it would have been better for that to happen, long range.I feel the same away about those bloated tick parasite casino banks, they should have been allowed to go bankrupt, then we could have sorted out what all those scam paper financial products are really worth, which is..not near as much as they contend now. I think society has hit "peak wealth leeching" with those guys.Ya, it would have sucked a little for a couple of years, but the resulting economy would have been MUCH better. Less stupid overpaid fatcats sucking out of the system, more middle class actual productive wealth creation jobs back.As it is now, all they have done is reward those who failed in the first place, and given them incentive to just follow the same failed policies. Quite dumb really. Slap this generation and the next several in debt for this to happen, too. That's not dumb, that's outright criminal.

They're not filtering content, they've intentionally broken connectivity to some IP address(es)
Probably due to DoS conditions, spam, or other issues.

Interesting (and ridiculous) that you think, just because the IPs in this case are also used by 4chan, that it means something different.
Unless you transfer to a bank outside Australia, CBA charges $25AUD to send money to a US based bank or NZ based bank.
(For non Aussies, CBA = Commonwealth Bank of Australia)
That gave me an idea for an album cover! This [WARNING. Possibly NSFW: article includes an image of an album cover featuring a prepubescent girl, naked, in a vaguely suggestive pose.] isn't enough anymore. We need a picture of a naked child, drawn, not a photo of a real child, smoking pot, holding a stick of dynamite in one hand, and picture of Stalin in the other. The album title? How about "Censor This!"
If an adversary has enough access to read/write to the socket that ssh-agent is processing or read the memory space that it is running in, then they probally also have enough access to keylog you typing in the passphrase or read ~/.ssh/id_dsa

My point exactly. Welcome to the perfect world.

Just an added note - I'm not saying I disagree with the rest of your post, but I dislike the dismissive attitude in reference to civil PE's :)
