The 'S' part of the TSA stands for 'safety'. They're not there to enforce laws.
What? No, it doesn't. TSA abbreviates Transportation Security Administration. The Nigerian may not have been malicious, but he demonstrated a security hole. Patching it is ostensibly within their remit. Am I missing something?
All the American and British banks I've used send me a PIN in the mail, mailed seperately from the card. They allow me to change the PIN if I choose. (In the UK, you can change the PIN at an ATM.)
A fair point: it's one thing to get the legislature of California to entertain self-driving cars. Getting the FAA to bless self-flying planes will be a harder nut to crack.

One thing that computers do much better than dead trees: instant feedback.

Funny. But in all seriousness, maybe he is building four identical workstations? or two dual-headed workstations? That brings the notion of 'need' down out of orbit.
Wifi broadcasts a flag *specifically* to tell you if it is public or private, if people set that flag to public when they mean private I don't think the general public should be expected to have a vast amount of knowledge of a changing market place in order to judge whether the owner set it up wrong or not.
What is this flag, and how is it configured? I have often wondered if such a thing exists, but I can't see how to change it on my current router (DD-WRT, as it happens) and I wouldn't know how to tell my WiFi client to respect such a flag (or not).
I have heard that in some jurisdictions, traffic tickets due to speed cameras are only binding if the registered owner was the one driving. If a camera catches me running a red light while driving my wife's car, the ticket is mailed to her, not me. She wasn't the one who committed the crime.
He discontinued public access because the risk (of losing all his gear while waiting for a trial) finally outweighed the benefit of providing a public service, in his estimation.
We have a right to a speedy trial, but it would still be a mess to deal with and it seems like most people don't take advantage of it. I myself don't understand all the nuances of that right and when it would be to one's advantage to claim it.
I never got far enough to discover that it was too long to watch: I stopped it as soon as I saw the ad. Advertisements on the side of a web page I can deal with; there is a reason I don't watch TV.
Dang. Can you imagine the unbearable swell of TV ads if it became common for people to do their actual voting on the couch at home? It's bad right now... Just wait until Internet voting becomes common!

Plus, the number is probably slightly inflated by slashdot users who periodically create new accounts just to check and see the current count.
Also, Don't forget the 0.0001 * $WORLD_POPULATION accounts that are owned by Michael Kristopeit.
A business laptop that is carried five states away to deliver a million-dollar presentation should not have any security barriers that would jepordize that presentation. I would count "Contacting IT back at our headquarters so I can use the WiFi" as just such a barrier.
Clearly, then, this is not the Year of the OpenSUSE desktop.

No, this sounds more like they're living with an elderly parent who is loaded and senile.
I am the napster!
No, GP meant "illiterate", because GGP was unable to read and understand the Wikipedia page.

Mod parent up. This is the first thing I thought of, and is relevant.

Thank you for participating in this thread. I have enjoyed reading your perspective in addition to the article.
Yes, Dr. Phil strongly recommends structured parenting.
I negotiated a treaty with Peru just last week, you insensitive clod!

Gonna start generating the contact-data rainbow tables right now!

Fair enough. But the point is that when me and my IT department are considering these things, we will opt for Windows XP over OpenSUSE.
