Orphans ARE societal rejects. You seem to put humanity on a pretty high pedestal. In reality we're still mostly animals driven by instincts. When woman gets an instinct to procreate, she isn't going to try to get someone else's child. She wants one that continues her genetic line.
That's what our second most power instinct is all about.
And orphans are simply a sign of a failed natural selection. Our society allows for those who can override their instincts with their intellect or simply cannot have children of their own no matter what and opt for next best thing to get one of their own. But most of them are still societal rejects for reasons of natural selection.
It's worth noting that such SCADA application are usually remote control of production site. This is usually because of outsourcing of these functions to the lowest bidder.
As a result, even a little extra spending on security would be under huge scrutiny from "is this really important? We could lose the contract if our costs go up" aspect.
Military application. Weather is very important for things like routing strategic bombers and reconnaissance aircraft flying across north pole into former Soviet Union.
This doesn't necessarily mean it has to be unsafe. A reasonable implementation is to control SCADA over VPN over TCP/IP. Insert a hardware firewall that is completely autistic to everything except for allowing VPN traffic between actual internet and machine running SCADA.
While it won't be bulletproof, it will certainly limit ability to threaten machines running SCADA with malicious packets and such from internet. There are obviously ways to attack VPN, machine that's connected to other side of VPN and perhaps even firewall itself, but those are not issues covered by the article.
For last few years, microsoft has done a lot for security. I understand that this is slashdot and microsoft bashing is always in vogue, but to claim that because company x was doing something wrong several years ago, and started doing it right many years ago makes for ancient history in IT world.
Are you telling me that police in US doesn't routinely shoot people who run afoul of the law?
"routinely" is a strong modifier. We'll often hear about the exceptional cases in the news. The prison companies wouldn't like it if the police regularly killed people.
We hear about exceptional cases where people who are bystanders/police hitting the wrong apartment/babies get shot. The cases where the criminal himself gets shot are a whole other matter.
You're telling there's no political oppression of parties other then two major allowed ones?
Maybe Communism, but other than that, even the Nazis get to have their parades and rallies.
Not talking about laughable things, but real oppression on actually being meaningful, such as blocking from attending certain press conferences/debates, denying permits to demonstrate in visible places, getting a real chance to get elected, and so on.
Doesn't ignore the rule of the law when it suits it, including and not limited to its own constitution?
Don't judge us by the sitting president.
Just one president and no presidents before him? Just the president and no one in... say, policing agencies? Really?

We must be talking about two different United States of Americas. Even here on slashdot stories where cases of USA violating any and all of the above are routinely posted, to the outrage of the crowd.
What you SHOULD be talking about is that in China there are freedoms that aren't enshrined in laws, or that certain parts of the law are not enforced as they should be. That would be true. Blanket statement like yours condemns USA just as much if not more then China at the moment, especially with private prison system having successfully installed an utterly ridiculous police, court and sentencing system on which the rest of the Western world looks with derision at best.
Well, in US they have department of defense which does little of anything other then plan offensives. So this is nothing new. Orwell probably took his inspiration there, as it was like this for decades.
So a working microphone would be enough for PC? That doesn't really require kinect.
I was thinking more in line of either devs porting games, making multi platform releases for xbox360 and w7 and finally actually making pc indie games with kinect support.
Last is probably a shot in the dark given installed base, but still... one can hope.
Does anyone have any idea if this can be used to make kinect work with games on windows? I'm talking about licensing problems and such, unless SDK also locks away some hardware features needed for gaming.
Seriously, you get the short term lulz, followed by long term time behind bars for most of these guys. Not to mention that laws will get toughened, and people who fight cyber crime will get extra funs.
Either these guys are really stupid, or they're CIA/FBI.
The benefit to smaller trains is ability to service smaller routes. For example there is a lot of very small trains servicing small towns around Helsinki allowing for cheap and fast commuting.
There is a funny fact about assisted suicide. If Alzheimer/cancer/similar incurable painful disease would be monitored by a veterinarian without putting the animal down, he would be sued for animal torture. And lose.
It's quite telling when our current "general" code of ethics is against torturing animals in this way, but not against torturing humans in the same way.

But all that USA wants is some LOVE! Sure, it's one sided, abusive, anal rape kind of love.
But it's still LOVE!

It's not just that. Remember all the new games that crash drivers in spite of being actively optimized for them?
Now imagine a browser window that executes while(true) {open new tab, run code that crashes video drivers()}

Link, the sheer hilarity of such a game would probably be worth the money. I can already see it - "copulate this way for extra points".
Hell, it could work. "Beat the best score in the world for copulation in a certain position". I can see people actually getting into that.

Actually, during WW2 they often blew them up guerrilla style with explosives planted on/under the rails themselves. It still didn't do any good.
And brains of mush.

Takes a whole lot more then a few bombs to take out a railroad - look at WW2.
Also, railroad is a single most efficient form of military transportation known to man when dealing with regions beyond beaches.
Noted, this is my first time in over ten years that I had an english failure on my end.
Sorry. The topic is a bit combative for most people, including myself.
It's one thing to treat them differently.
It's another to treat them WORSE.
Medication being called "go back to the crappy speakers and no proper amplifier"?
So, by your own admission, humans should have more rights then animals. Yet they have less.
Read the rest of the post. If you still don't get it, you won't get it no matter how someone explains it to you.
As it's pointless to explain matters of religion to someone who truly believes.
Woosh...
I'm saying no one should suffer for yours. Animals can't make the call themselves, so humans saw that it's proper that we make the choice for them.
Yet certain people are hell bent to deny the same right to other people choosing for THEMSELVES.

What you neglect to mention is that all of the nations in the world are guilty of the crimes you mention.
