But the subject line states "The Air Traffic Control Tower of the Future Doesn't Include Humans".
So who or what are those "controllers" in Adelaide? Aliens? Robots?
This is not about taking humans out of the loop, but simply consolidation to save money. Sickening.
And let's not even talk about safety. Because the workload and stress for those one or two controllers controlling several airports will go up dramatically.
When we call software "free", we mean that it respects the users' essential freedoms: the freedom to run it, to study and change it, and to redistribute copies with or without changes. This is a matter of freedom, not price, so think of "free speech", not "free beer".
On first start, Firefox downloads the "OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc." plugin (which is a binary blob) and enables it automatically. This happens without asking the user for consent.
There is another class/type of software that also downloads and installs programs/libraries to your computer without asking the user for consent. You know what that is?
A customer does not want to be told what to do. It is he who demands, not the other way around.
You should be where your customers are because saving them the hassle and the bustle will make them more likely to patronize you.
If you don't want my money, then I am taking my business elsewhere. And by elsewhere I do not necessarily mean "piracy". I simply spend my money on something else or don't spend it all.
Then provide a way for me to pay you. I don't have a credit card. I don't use paypal. Etc. But I have got a load of cash and usb sticks. How can I buy whatever art it is you are making??? Exactly - I can't. So don't blame me. If you don't want my money, I take my business elsewhere. For this same reason Skype never got my business. I had money, they didn't want it, so they didn't get my business. And looking back now nothing of value was lost really. You don't do business on my terms, you lose. Up to you.
The problem that I pointed out has nothing to do with the root certificate authority (rootca), but everything with the fact that the certificate used on their web server expired almost one year ago.
You have asked Firefox to connect securely to shoals.sam.usace.army.mil, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.
shoals.sam.usace.army.mil uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate has expired. The certificate expired on 2014-06-10 02:24. The current time is 2015-04-06 13:17. (Error code: sec_error_expired_issuer_certificate)

But not everybody uses "Play" store. Some people use F-Droid for their apk needs.
And afterwards "they" always say: oh yes, we had this guy on our watchlist.
So - then fucking do something with that information!!!
With all the spying on its citizens, the governments are still clueless!
heavy use of Google's Chrome web browser (and what Android user doesn't?)
I have had my Samsung tablet for 2+ years now and I have never used Google's Chrome web browser.
I use Firefox 35.0.1 with Javascript disabled. Works fine.
But then I don't use Google Play Store either. I use F-Droid.
Just the name already - "Play" store. Sounds like something for kids.
So is your browser.
Which is exactly why Mozilla will very soon now get rid of the browser.
And Mozilla will make that decision unilaterally. Mozilla will not listen to you. Mozilla knows what's best for you. You don't.
One fine day your browser will simply remove itself. Because Mozilla said so.
I use chromium 34.0.1847.137 and ... nothing happens when I copy/paste that url (yes - I deleted that space).
No Crash. No nothing.
So I guess Google added something to their Chrome that breaks stuff.

As long as you refill your milk carton with something other than milk, you're fine.
Cause the milk company only has a patent for putting milk into a milk carton.
What video ??? The article has a YouTube video about "The Abyss scene". And that's it. Completely and utterly useless!!
@bigwophh - Next time you write a summary and article add some good and useful links!! For crying out loud!!

You need to learn how to use Slashdot and HTML. There is a preview button in /.
And this in an article about HTML.
Before you write articles about a subject, it'd be a good idea to actually be knowledgeable in that subject.
But only if you want to be taken seriously.
Why can I not go to the local branch of my bank and verify the fingerprint of the certificate used for its online banking website?
96:4F:59:F0:D9:3E:DE:00:4F:76:50:5B:33:17:CB:11:4C:65:F4:6B:92:F3:CF:49:4F:6F:1E:2E:FF:AF:35:6D
That way I know for sure I am not asking a dog to transfer my money. Unless of course the dog's pawprint matches the fingerprint of the certificate.
Thank you for pointing out what is wrong with video on the web these days.
If I want to play this with SMPlayer (w/ MPlayer), I get a "Server returned 403: Forbidden" message.
I do not care why this is happening. I simply move on to other pastures.
People still use flash? How quaint.
I uninstalled flash almost 2 years ago now. Haven't missed out on anything.
... flaky HTML5 video support ...
huh?
The above has worked for several years now.
The default video tag supports full screen view.
Youtube's thingy does not. Why not? What's the problem?
So?? Firefox does the same. Start Firefox with a new profile and you will see the same bad behavior. You actually tried it?
Does it also download files to your TV without asking you for consent?
Like the Firefox webbrowser does ("libgmpopenh264.so"):
On first start, Firefox downloads the "OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc." plugin (which is a binary blob) and enables it automatically. This happens without asking the user for consent.
There is another class/type of software that also downloads and installs programs/libraries to your computer without asking the user for consent. You know what that is?
Malware and computer viruses.
That's a funny comment.
You ever hear of "Customer is King":
A customer does not want to be told what to do. It is he who demands, not the other way around.
You should be where your customers are because saving them the hassle and the bustle will make them more likely to patronize you.

Exactly - I can't.
So don't blame me. If you don't want my money, I take my business elsewhere.
For this same reason Skype never got my business. I had money, they didn't want it, so they didn't get my business. And looking back now nothing of value was lost really.

bash $ openssl s_client -connect shoals.sam.usace.army.mil:443 2>&1 | openssl x509 -noout -enddate
notAfter=Jun 9 19:24:51 2014 GMT
But you're right, that is yet another problem with this certificate that the rootca is not available on a normal user's computer.
And now you want me to download a rootca from some shady link that some dude on slashdot posted and trust that? In your dreams.

He lost his penis once because of circumcision.
And now he's gonna do it again with his new penis.

The transplanted penis wasn't circumcised and it will be at least several months before the patient can return for the medical procedure
Facebook knows when your dead and ...
The more important question is:
Would Facebook know I am dead before I do?
With all their Big Data, you would think they could figure that out.

10000 bugs found.
Firefox bug list (probably incomplete because of a query limit of 10000)
You would think that with that many open bugs, they would know what to work on.
And I don't mean just close them as "won't fix", but actually work on them, fix them.
