There are plenty of pages where the site just will not load unless you give permission to run layers and layers of 3rd,4th,5th party scripts. What can we do as consumers or developers to prevent such behavior on the part of websites?
Sorry, but I dont buy the assertion that it was already a done-deal. The environment was not wrecked already. It is almost impossible for boats or hotels to kill every last member of a species. You would need to pour millions and millions of gallons of poison into an area to get enough coverage. Like, now for instance.
As an entire ecosystem dies above them, the residues, acids, and by-products of decomposition will settle to the bottom. Plus they probably wont miss all that pesky oxygen that can no longer dissolve into the water.
Animals can become susceptible to disease from changes in any number of factors. Temperature, pH, etc.
Plus, do you think the material coming out of the ground is in any way uniform in composition or will remain together? Or is different stuff, metals, chemicals, acids, poisons and whatever going to separate out and go wherever it wants.
Its like pouring the most dirty toxic destructive can of solvents you ever had in your lab and throwing it into the water. By the ton.
Currently, the patent office is required to review prior art submissions from outside parties for 60 days. The patent is visible in the system for 60 days, and then they can throw your notice of prior art in the garbage.
2 months is not a lot of time. If they want to reduce the backlog, then crowdsource the problem. Open that duration up. Even create some incentives to get people to read the patent applications. A little education on what constitues prior art. Maybe even a hall of fame which says, "Hey, this guy helped us out by finding something we didnt know about", patent denied.
Its much better to stop a patent (and the expensive process) in the beginning, then defend against an established patent in court. By crowdsourcing the patent prior art review system, everything would work better.
Or what if you bought the camera used without a manual. When exactly did you enter into an agreement with them? What if you are too young to enter into an agreement with them? What if the camera is owned by multiple parties some of whom live outside the United States?
Now, think a million years ahead. Different suns. Different instantiation of life. Different rates of development.
The point is that the increase in technology is a product of the in-ability of the biological systems to keep up. Its not -artificial- if its destined to happen by virtue of the weakness of biological systems. Its sort of evolutionary. If the same pattern of emerges on other worlds and is given enough time, I think that all intelligent systems will migrate towards faster-better-smarter-stronger: Machines. And they will probably have less than zero use for any of us; they will be beyond advanced by the time they get here.
If aliens developed to an advanced enough level, they will have created intelligent machines and probably lost control of them. The aliens roaming the galaxy are probably highly evolved cybernetic organisms with no use for us. But we will probably take a shot at them and trigger a swarming response which kills us all.
If they can force you to shut down your "server" and use theirs, they can charge you money. The people whose job it is to monetize the web want the internet to be client/master. Where you are the client and they are the master. That way they can have reliable income which makes them all warm and fuzzy. Thats why the tunnels will never go away. Because they will charge you for the extra "cost" of maintaining the IPv6 proxy servers. Never mind that they have no choice. Never mind that they could upgrade their hardware. Why upgrade their hardware if it would cost them money in the proxy service fees. To make your life better? IPv6 is a trap. And once all the broadcast mediums are dead, everyone will have to pay and pay and pay.
Phones, TVs, and millions of other devices that will never need to act as servers will be forced behind NAT walls. There will be two price structures, client access and server addresses.
Client, will be NAT only. Server will have a real address whether it be fixed or variable.
Maybe they will even charge by DHCP lease time statistics.
Eventually, the entire IPv4 address range will be relegated to servers. And all the clients will be IPv6. They will be told that the "tunneling" is just temporary, but it will in fact be permanent.
The computer will be almost useless to the kids if the networking is disabled at the firewall. Most consumer firewall routers have network scheduling. Just turn that on and you are done. Remember to set a password on the router.
If you want to see what your kids are doing at any point, then use a free vnc server on each of the machines. You can control their machines with vnc too.
Just buy some simple antivirus licenses for the machines to control the viruses and find a way to re-image the machines frequently to keep them clean if you want. You can have them keep their documents on a share you control to lessen data-loss during re-imaging.
If they are really just working on an essay, then the cutoff on the internet will not affect that.
The hw monitoring is a feature the hardware vendor should provide.
Ok, so they want to get the love back and show that java is still relevant. Maybe they want some people to expand their skillsets and add java to their toolbox. Well I thought, lets see how heavy this thing has become. I found the necessary magic words to install it on ubuntu from apt. And then: SPLAT! Upon trying to install it, I get this very unfriendly looking licensing message during the install!
Sun is willing to let you install this under the condition that you accept the terms of this 15 PAGE! licensing agreement! In order to install, you must accept the terms, do you accept the DLJ license terms? YES or NO?
If you say NO, then the installation -crashes- and you get prompted again, in a loop asking you to accept the terms again! Ok, after 3 declines, it bails out completely.
You know what? I dont remember that kind of love when I installed PYTHON. Maybe this is what they mean by tough love.
Custom software has to be one of the cleanest, safest, crime-free, low impact industries in the state. You have industries with MASSIVE infrastructure burdens like: Trucking, Logging, Mining/Cement generation, farming. Industries that require inspectors or police protection or heavy truck support, water projects, and electrical projects. These industries cost the state big money to support. Or look for industries that create expensive side-effects like pollution.
Just try to zero the bubble: the industries that take the most out of the state in terms of infrastructure costs and natural resources should have to pay taxes so that their cost to the state becomes zero. But the low-impact industries, ones that cost the state little or no money to support, should not have to have special taxes directed at them.
You can have a hundred dns records point to the same "hacked" site. So wha'ts the point of this.
If its broken, its broken. This analysis is just adding complexity and air-time to no purpose.
The basic fact is that we have incredibly complicated software tools (browsers) that are designed to feed on an arbitrarily large set of untrusted, malicious, infected data. The browsers are in fact -designed- to go behind your back to download data from servers you never queried and did not know existed. They can and will do this -randomly- or at the discretion of people who want to harm you.
The software browsers on most of the machines in the world operate with the ability to modify any file in the host computer. Even if they are prevented from changing some files, it only takes certain files to make the entire system untrustworthy.
Its broken. I love the web. But its broken by design.
LEDs can be over-driven to produce more light. To protect the device, the LEDs are pulsed so that the average power through the device is not damaging.
So if you run windows update, then most of the systems will not be destroyed by the next attack?
But not all machines have the same value. So how do you measure the effectiveness of this strategy?
You are assuming that the current situation is acceptable because the hacks have not be overwhelmingly destructive. But they still could be costing us massively, but in hidden ways.
For instance a scientists computer is infected and data is lost. Perhaps he was about to figure out something really important with that data; but now he can't.
The problem is we are measuring the cost of this strategy by a wholly unreliable tool: The media. The truth is that these defects are responsible for lost opportunities that are very difficult to measure in current time, but are massive only in retrospect.
So a fully patched system (ie. contains patches for the known vulns) is unhackable? Then why oh why would they ever need to patch ever again? Fun?
And its not even the known vulns that are patched. Just the ones they felt like addressing in this release.
And how are these patches protecting against other threats that are not related to specific software defects, but to built in weaknesses brought on by poor design decisions. Things that we know are close to being defective design, but cannot be patched because it would mean re-writing the whole thing from scratch and orphaning the software applications.
Make a date when by all cars and trucks are requires to have a "slow down" chip in their computer. Not to stop the car, but more of a governor to make 30mph the top speed for a car in that area. A audible warning lets the driver know the governor is about to go into effect.
Authorized vehicles would have the governor disabled.
They could even implement the system in school zones.

Its just a different cable to buy. A DVI to HDMI cable works great.

So this one will be a little less overpowered. Its not green, frugal, or smart to throw it away.
Drive it until the wheels fall off.

The same with the online pharmacies.
