It's basically a completely different set of protocol stacks unrelated to tcp/ip - so you have to learn a whole bunch to even attempt it.
You need a few thousand dollars (this may have come down slightly) of specialised equipment to do the attack.
You are doing something that is often illegal, or of dubious legality at best.
Just make a USB-based watchdog device which periodically sends an enter key press, and is suppressed by a task running on the server. While this could be installed with physical access to the computer, it is unlikely that it could be done remotely. (Then again, if you are lucky enough that your target has the right USB device installed, and you can do a live upgrade of its firmware...)
The best story of all time is the one about the pawn shop that used a clunky old VCR tape backup system for their computer, because someone pawned it to them many months ago, so they might as well use it. When some dumbasses robbed the place one night, one of them took the tape out of that VCR, then smiled for the camera, waving the tape in front of it. Of course the camera was being recorded to a different tape that they didn't see.
Forrest M. Mims III would put (moderately absurd) prices on all the laser thingies he had (at least through the '90s when I got to see him in a public appearance where he brought a few to show) because of the way Texas state law worked: He couldn't possess them, but he could have them for sale.
There's a big difference between being punished for your own crime, and being punished for someone else's crime, whether or not that someone else is a blood relative.
The ideal situation would be to have autonomous propellant manufacturing on the moon.
That would first require something on the moon with enough energy to be used as propellant. So far all we can get from the moon is a bunch of rock with a little bit of H2O ice at the poles. About all we could do is set up some solar panels and make 2H2+O2. But that's only a minor detail. (inb4 He3 which we won't have the technology to use as fuel for decades to come)
Apple is one of the few companies allowed to make their own ARM cores, rather than just dropping a pre-rendered block on a chip. This dates back to the days of the Newton.
lrn2orbitalmechanics, it would be orbiting the earth along with the moon.
Not only is it relatively stable (though a halo or Lissajous is usually used), but the relative sizes are such that the moon does not fully eclipse the earth, so continuous communication is available.
It's a lot more sensible than a lunar ground base. Not only isn't there a gravity well, but the Lagrange points are the easiest places from which to leave earth orbit with minimum energy expenditure. If you have a fuel stockpile there, you can top off the tanks and all that fuel goes to the trip, not climbing out of the gravity well.
Because LEO is still inside the gravity well. Not that the ISS doesn't need VASIMR for station keeping, but it's not designed to go somewhere else. I'm sure that it would probably take some structural damage from the kind of thrust you need to apply to get up out of LEO, and then it has to go through the Van Allen radiation belts too. You just don't move a fully assmembled multi-segmented space station around like it was an aircraft carrier. Over that kind of scale it should be pretty flimsy.
Besides, there's going to be barely enough power available to use VASIMR just for station keeping. I think it needs to charge for like 20 minutes to get a 5 minute burn or something like that. (too lazy to look up the details)
To make things even more interesting, it was overdubbed to be as offensive as it is. The original seems to be some kind of college project, using bad green-screen sets with bad acoustics. You can tell which bits were overdubbed because they sound better than the original.
If you watch closely, you can see that when the actors are reading parts of the script that do not contain Islam-specific language, the audio from the sound stage is used (the audio that was recorded as the actors were simultaneously being filmed). But anytime the actors are referring to something specific to the religion (the Prophet Muhammed, the Quran, etc.) the audio recorded during filming is replaced with a poorly executed post-production dub. And if you look EVEN closer, you can see that the actors’ mouths are saying something other than what the dub is saying.
For example, at 2:53, the voiceover says “His name is Muhammed. And we can call him The Father Unknown.” In this case, the whole line is dubbed, and it appears the actor is actually saying, “His name is George (?). And we can call him The Father Unknown.” I assume the filmmakers thought they were being slick, thinking that dubbing the whole line instead of just the name would make it more seamless and less noticeable to the viewer. But once you start to look for these dubs, it’s hard to see anything else.
I think not being able to eat is a bigger health problem than some hypothetical chemicals. In any case, fish will probably taste better than hand-feeding it with the flesh of Anonymous Cowards.
I don't know what part you were driving on, but a "100 ft. median" sounds like you were probably driving on future frontage roads. Sometimes the frontage roads are built first (like the north end of 183A), with the main lanes added later.
And I see that they're not exactly equal-opportunity satirists. Everything on there is about Romney and Ryan, with a random Limbaugh story thrown in for variety. So Joe Biden isn't funny enough for them or what?

What you are talking about is security through obscurity, which is of dubious security at best.

Urectum? U nearly killed um!
Unless someone can convince Canadians or Mexicans to flip their allegiances
Because Mexico would never turn on us.
Thank you for calling, my name is Peggy, how can I be fixing your computer today?
And thanks to Obama's attacks on the coal industry, Santa needs something else to put in the stockings of bad little boys and girls.

And the fab is even in the US. Northeast Austin to be specific. (They've been making the A5 there, so I'm guessing the A6 would be made there too.)

5 amps at 5 volts is 25 watts. 5 amps at 110 volts is 550 watts. That's 22 times the power. Lrn2electricity.
It's bad enough that people actually believed a hoax about a new custom screw head from Apple.
The man ruined mp3 music for god's sake.
Considering that he went with AAC as the format for iTMS, I would say that your statement is correct.
But maybe not for the reasons you were thinking of.
Usually. The problem happens when companies merge, and both are using the same "private" address space.
Hah! I'm not going to waste my time with IPv6, what with IPv7 right around the corner!
