Wouldn't it just be cheaper to not treat workers like shit?
Even if so, based on what the company is doing, it may not be enough.
TFA is based on (and links) another FA in WSJ. Guess which company is the first to be quoted in regards with the tech? Diebolt, which seemed to be more interested on maintaining its face instead of the quality of their products.
three of those are mutually exclusive, to a certain extent: Can't lose to a hard drive crash, not network dependent, and secure.
As are the "anonymity" and "can't lose to a hard drive crash" (replace HDD with whatever will support a mutable information about the amount of coins you store - "engraving" coins on a ROM won't make the coin digital).
Digital currency just means the Central bank can wipe-out our savings more efficiently (by devaluing the dollar).
Why do you think that the "digital" attribute is what enable them to do that? Like they aren't doing it already with printed banknotes or minted coins? You think it cost them much to add other 3 zeroes on a note?
If I can get my hands on it, I can tamper it. Period.
Ok, not me, but rather, an expert on the subject.
Security is a matter of balancing the cost/benefit - if the attacker incurs a cost of $1000 to break one device used for micropayments (assumed to be used for petty change), I'd say it is safe enough.
As a user, I'd rather have concerns on the anonymity of the transactions, though.
So you plan to close the street while your filler material drys?
So you plan to close the street why your NNF (in a bag, none the less!) fills the pothole? What about the pouring the exact volume for the liquid to fill the gap flush (no bump, no cavity)?
I was with you up to "monster cables". Now, that's utterly BS: how can one hate monster cables? (I gotta love them, e.g. no geek would be able to blame superluminal neutrinos on Tuscan milk).
Another idea: let's use pitch - it maybe not a non newtonian fluid (but again, it may be... just haven't had enough time to check), but it is a fluid nonetheless.
Now, because it tends to stick on the tires (and the use of mats tends to be expensive over time), I suppose we can mix the pitch with sand and/or fine gravel before filling in the holes - should keep the pothole filled for some years without the need of revisiting it... what a boon for the taxpayers. (hmmm... I think I'm going to patent this)
Which means Chrome the OS, by definition, runs a pure subset of what every other Chrome the browser platform can run.
/. causes the Android browser (is it not Chrome as well?) to crash on limited and cheap Android tablets. I suspect that Chrome OS could hold it better.
This is not to disagree with you, but to point there could be a niche for Chrome OS - low capability(=>very low price) mobile devices.
If I'm right in my assumption, we may see a boost in "HTML5 gaming" - I'm sure Google would love it, be it only to crack the garden-wall of the Apple (as in: being HTML5, the game plays well on iPad - and delivers the Google ads - without the need of loading the game through the Apple Store).
What information is in universities that's not available elsewhere anyway? Surely spying only applies to stuff that was secret in the first place? Otherwise it's calling 'learning', right?
More than that... it is called "education industry" (the tuition fees being higher-towards-much-higher for foreign students).
You mad, pal? What about patents and Intellectual Property? What about competition and individualism? And "the free market"... don't forget the free market! (look! a shiny thing, don't you look back to patents!) Also, what about the exams - aren't the students suppose to compete on their own?
As ugly and imperfect as the US may be, don't you think its principles and ideals and those of its allies are worth protecting?
Yes, with a single condition... that US upholds those ideals and principles and not trample them down... The end does NOT justify the means, especially when the means run contrary to the ends.
he wasn't rated "off topic" for it, but I was... please, give us a break: Keep making this site & it's bogus moderation system look worse than it is... you only make my case for me doing that!)

Offtopic, I know, but I must admit that the whinge was exquisite, mate (hear this one: LMAO... and this: you only make my case for me doing that!) Brilliant, I tell you... absolutely brilliant, sincere thanks for it. In return, I'll tell you that life isn't supposed to be fair, but at most interesting enough to worth living - and you should see what's happening here as very interesting... nay, scratch that... intriguing at its most (be it only for the mystery of the/. modding).
The only worthy sons America ever produced are the ones who cursed her name and bit her tit. I just made that up, but hey. Fuck nationalism, fuck toys, fuck tools.
Sorry, but they are called sex toys and fuck machines.
Now, my question: I don't know much of nationalism as a fetish but, being listed together with the rest and the context of tit-biting, I sense it's equally pornographic - i.e. indecent and capable of high excitation leading to orgasm in those with predispositions to it; am I right?
...is that as more technology becomes available, the true believers seem MORE certain of their faith. I'm not sure if that is a result of the technology or just a shift in the way religions operate, but it seems like questioning your faith used to be considered a good thing and is now very much a bad thing.
One possible explanation, in a quote from Andre Malraux (with my emphasis):
The great mystery is not that we should have been thrown down here at random between the profusion of matter and that of the stars; it is that from our very prison we should draw, from our own selves, images powerful enough to deny our own nothingness.
Chasing "the American dream", a even a middle class (much faster for a redneck or whitetrash) individual doesn't take much to realize that s/he's nothing and have very little control over what governs their life... what choice does such a person have? Science is not accessible to her/him and science doesn't promise a better life (not in terms of gizmos, but in terms of denying their nothingness)... where can that person find salvation other than religion and/or arms? Is there any wonder that nowadays social frame resembles quite a lot the early** medieval times - religion practices included? (a democracy and elections? To what good is you can change the persons in power if the effects over you life are null?)
Another one, from the same author, and I'll leave it here:
Athirst for personal salvation, the West forgets that many religions had but a vague notion of the life beyond the grave; true, all great religions stake a claim on eternity, but not necessarily on man's eternal life.
** the time when it was NOT the church that was the most oppressive, but the barons and lords of the land.
Please tell me that the wireless interface at least has its own fuse that can be pulled.
On behalf of our R&D dept in East Europe and Russia, I can state that we don't know it... yet. And, unless you aren't a Mercedes owner, we are not going to inform you. If, however, you own this model, just tell us where it is parked and we'll let you know (if a fuse can be pulled, it's likely we can replace it with absolutely no troubles for your, while you're asleep).
Raising my black hat, I send you my best wishes and hopes of a successful...(ummm... how to put it?... ah, yes...) collaboration,
(and black hat hackers who are also likely considerably more experienced at finding these vulnerabilities than white hat hackers and so they are better at it).
Did they extend the black belt ranking to hats as well?

Monster cables are WAY over priced,
But they a superluminal, dude! (another way of whoooshing you).

So, when the "year of Linux on race cars" is supposed to be?

So if this bill is passed, won't it, "degrade, disrupt, or destroy" the Internet? Won't it therefore become illegal?
Is it illegal for a policeman to shut someone? Sometimes it doesn't.
Is it illegal someone to shut the sheriff (even if not shooting the deputy)? Always.

After all, I'm sure we all store thousands of social security numbers at home.
well, now someone does.
I bet the security of the system on which they store the SSN-es is better than the Utah Department of Health's one.

Welcome to the TSA plus Obamacare? Bringing the air traffic experience to medicine.
Sorry mate, not here. For Obamacare there's a special thread, with the special note that the thread is modded Offtopic.
(and black hat hackers who are also likely considerably more experienced at finding these vulnerabilities than white hat hackers and so they are better at it).
Did they extend the black belt ranking to hats as well?
