Take Microsoft's.net for example. The library covers pretty much everything you can imagine wanting to do with a computer, and it's constantly updated as new file formats/etc arrive. But since there's only ONE.net, the library is still one holistic thing that can be updated when security problems arise without breaking anything.
The same could be said about QT, glib (2 or 3), python (2 or 3) or even SDL on Linux.
1. Lock down specific users@ip to be able to ssh in.
2. Enforce privilege separation and all the other paranoid protection in the sshd_config.
3. Put in some type of brute force protection like fail2ban.
4. Disable password login.
Maybe not much "safer" (unless a weakness in the key algorithm is found), but it will reduce the bandwidth they consume by cutting them off before TCP even has a chance to perform a handshake.
Fine, but where do you *store* it? Chances are each country that ends up being given the job of "enriching it for everyone" because they just happen to have the raw stuff underground is going to say "Hey, why don't we just hold some back instead of shipping it to COUNTRY X and then back again when we need it" and right there the whole "You must not enrich your own Uranium" thing goes right out the second story window.
How is twitter any better than texting in this situation? Texts will go through even if your phone connects for a fraction of a second, twitter will NOT. Texts can be sent from almost any cell phone made in the last 10 years, tweets can not. Texts can be redirected to local receiver stations if the upstream data link dies, Twitter cannot. EVERY cellphone has a texting number, only some have twitter accounts.
Twitter may be a little cheaper, but if it's not going to cover most users, but texting will. So it sounds like you'll need to implement texting anyways, so why spend extra money and confuse people by having 2 systems?
To this day I don't fully understand why tape is so much more reliable than floppies. Aren't they essentially the same medium (magnetized substrate) but just in a different shape (long-long-long rectangle vs donut)? Is it a density thing, or is the material actually that much different (I know floppies are stiffer, but I always figured they were just thicker).
And how closely do you have to examine the plates to tell they are a fake? Can you tell from 10-20 feet away (typical viewing distance of anyone following you) or do you have to put your face right up to it (which even a police officer isn't going to do unless they already suspect it's a fake)?
The first is to steal the license plates of a different car. This trick has been around for years, and extensive effort has been put into supplying license plates that show clearly visible signs of this - they fracture and turn black.
Is this a European thing? Our Canadian plates are about the simplest stamped steel painted white you can possibly imagine. The only "security" on them is that the letters are embossed.
That's a stupid analogy. Instead of comparing links (one of the most mundane things out there) to a CONTROLLED FIREARM, why not compare it to say a stick. Sticks can be used to build things, hold things up and once in a while stab someone in the eye. Should it be illegal to leave a pile a sticks in front of your property because someone may go on an eye-stabbing spree?!?
$160,000,000 is still enough to have put a VERY sizable dent in their security issues and any exec that runs a company into the ground (especially a company that is supposed to specialize in MONEY) should be receiving ANY kind of bonus, let alone one with 9 digits.

LB's coming over to stash the shit.
Oh man, it's been WAY too long since I've had Tire D'érable!
Wrong. Stephen Harper is getting a LOT of outside to pull this off.
Or the aftermath.
Whoops, had those reversed. I guess that's what I get for rephrasing it 3 times :(

Problem solved.

I wouldn't rely on that, visual basic programmers are getting hard to find these days :(
How is "It might have gone through" better than "it can't even connect"?
I think it's time for the person that hands them out in the first place to hand THEIRS in!

And not one of them can help Joe because twitter doesn't have his address.

And in which country do they plan to enrich and store said nuclear fuelbank?
Hey! I'll have you know vice-grips make a DAMN FINE socket wrench. They even work on most stripped bolts!

Call it what you will, but it WILL still ruin your credit rating.

Why would you use multicast in a system where each receiver needs different data?!?
