It comes from lazy people who don't filter out the unicode crap before posting. Unicode is a security risk, but people want it so they can post more smileys. This is a text forum, not an art class. Regular ASCII is good enough for everybody.
Well, that's the problem, isn't it? They don't make money on older devices, so where's the incentive to support them? It only cuts into sales of new devices. But I would hope users don't tolerate blocking and can/will circumvent any attempts to do so.
Javascript and Tor, now there's a match made in heaven... Does it have Flash too? Plus Tor itself is a shining beacon to draw attention. Hardly seems like a secure way to communicate.
Warrants are for the birds. What we need are machines that can't be hacked and data we can quickly erase or at least effectively hide. Things the state wants to prohibit
We just need to make the internet an ad hoc network, impossible to shut down or censor. This client/server setup is too easy to manipulate and is wide open to many attack vectors.
Just now I was typing "How many elephants..." and the moment I hit the "d", it came up with exactly what I wanted, "...does it take to change a lightbulb", first response. You can't beat that.
Unfortunately the joke sucked, so I won't bother...
You gotta be more active then. You can't just set it and forget it every two years. Use ballot referendums if you have to, whatever it takes. Things can only get as "draconian" as you let them.

Let's hope it's just as newsworthy. I expect to hear all about new technologies that can get around the problem.
Accept no substitutes!

Up with Boris Johnson! Up with Nigel Farage!

Sorry, just having a bit of fun...

I think it would be appropriate to block access to the Play Store for those devices.
I see... So you want to make life even worse... On the other hand, apps that spoof your ID will have a big market.
The real fix is to get these devices updated so that they are no longer vulnerable to root kits.
How does that work for a five year old Nexus?
Just not a priority...
Eh, no biggie, just block javascript and flash... and HTML

So, are we going to do anything about it? Opportunity awaits in only a few short months... Jus sayin'
When you are standing on a sphere, everything is downhill. We are precariously balanced on top.
Obviously these machines are too dangerous in the hands of general public. Private ownership should be banned, just like guns.
it does stuff to fulfill the second task as well, like writing SELinux.
Yeah, I like to think we're getting the "Pro" version. But with sufficient network sniffing there is little to worry about, right?
The article is not wrong, just a nonstandard use of the term.
My new campaign slogan! I am not lying. I am just using nonstandard definitions.
That's what I asked when Die Hard 2 came out...
Not at all, in fact, quite astute. Government workers are protecting their jobs.
You have to declare money you don't spend. Leave it to the bureaucrat to make sure his job is safe!
Our corporate friends tried to privatize that too.

No headphone jack?
"enabling, open, and democratizing" have never been high on Apple's list of priorities for external ports.
Since the very beginning. Even their serial port was nonstandard.
Ah well, at least the guy is being honest. Corporate psychopathy no longer needs to be hidden from view. The audience is captivated.

I see Greens and Libertarians on the ticket. Doers mass media have that much control over you all?
