We've have planned obsolescence. Why not planned corruption of data systems?
It seems clear the ability to keep nearly anything secure wanes exponentially with the amount of effort the infiltrator is willing to expend.
TFA mentions some of the Anonsec members had reservations about crashing the $222 million UAV, so there's no way we can know for certain that didn't play a role, but ground control was able to take control back manually through satellite connection. There is likely some additional redundancy to foil takeover attempts. "Wait... not that button, idiot!"
I guess I will continue to tolerate opening the front door with my own fingers and adjusting the thermostat once I arrive at home as the necessary struggles of clinging to the outdated ways.
FTA: "Once the technology is mature, the team sees it as having applications beyond microscopy, such as in lighter, thinner mobile phones with thermal imaging capabilities, smaller endoscopes for surgery, as a replacement for conventional lenses in nanosatellites to save a couple of hundred grams..."
This material seems to be the latest addition to Randall Munroe's long list of engineering problems that can be waved away by tacking on the prefix "nano-."
But it's pretty close. Look. The venue for this and the next several Superbowls is announced years in advance... plenty of time for any number of threats to be prepared and installed outside the watchful eyes on the stadium (and the surrounding area) right before the big game.
Given the popularity of the sport and this game, it has to have occurred to those with a bone to pick versus the Americans what a powerful blow this would be.
The big question is, "Have the anti-UAV defenses been employed?"
Because I'm sure as hell would rather cancel the TV entirely and subscribe to Netflix and Crunchyroll for 20$/mo than pay 70$ for this crap that I barely watch.
This seems to be the way a great number of people are headed over here across the pond, and it has recently become more tempting since you can order HBO on its own (at least in the US).
It remains to be be seen what the Netflix/Amazon/etc. subscription prices will be if packaged cable goes the way of the land line.
Look. The amount of road surface available to conversion as energy generating real estate is, of itself, very tempting.
The infrastructure exists already, and preliminary experiments, such as your bike path, lend some credence to the theory.
But. The compromises necessary to perfect an energy generating roadway are such that folks have to be injured on your compromised roadways for a generation or two in order to perfect the system.
Yes, any Ronco product/ Swiss Army knife does many things instead of one, but none as well as the individual tools it replaces.
But why roads? Of all the places we could put solar panels, why roads? I mean, I just can't comprehend how this is even a proposal in the first place. I haven't been able to since the first time I heard about the idea, and I still can't.
Well. If a practical method for harnessing the many, many existing square kilometers of road surface into energy generation could be practically implemented, we could probably stop burning anthracite, bituminous, and lignite for electricity.
I'm not certain you're correct, but I do get the general feeling that it won't matter to her supporters any more than Trump's people are laying awake nights wondering if they're supporting an egomaniacal geriatric with Tourette's syndrome.
Absolutely. It'll probably turn out that she was running a reverse sting operation... in essence, delivering tainted intelligence to American enemies on the order of Churchill's feigned ambivalence toward cracking enigma.
Indeed, and it's necessary to factor in the huge percent of the unpaid medical bills that belong to people forced to wait until their symptoms are bad enough to be seen be an emergency room... the health care program of too many Americans.
A rough guideline. General nutritional guidelines are like most things, your mileage may vary. It is well established that a fat calorie and a carb calorie behave differently in the body. Hell, glucose and HCFC are treated differently.
Right at the top, it seems likely the nutritional content label would be something of an average or mean over many ears of corn or servings of potatoes.
And every one of us is a little the same and a little different, so there's no universal tenet that works for everyone.

Once upon a time there used to be a toy called 'lawn jarts'.
And children rode bicycles without pads or helmets, when they weren't riding en masse to something in the back of pickup trucks.
Child abuse was rampant... 10, 11, and 12 year old children were routinely left alone after school at home.

Yes. Good comment. I want that to be true, too.

He's training his Chinese replacement.
Heh!
Thank goodness for that. If they'd been Indian, BIZx would likely be a Disney shell.
and they'll hit you low while you're looking up?

Of course, there's traction and such to consider.
Often, scientific progress is achieved by the advancement of the accuracy of your underlying tenets.
Even allies know the rules.

Clearly. What a lucky focker though, that Icahn...
If so, call us now for a free consultation. You don't pay a dime unless we win the settlement."
sad to see Slashdot articles get so few comments these days. Getting first post is no longer a challenge at all.
Perhaps you're a smart guy in an alternate dimension, but first is not your number, mathnasium.
Millenial?

but much of the time, it would've been detrimental to mention those alternative theories publicly.
Even today, you probably can't get elected president of the US if you're an avowed atheist.
Obligatory rap reference.
Indeed. Though their cleverness forever renders them above suspicion, I suspect the washing & drying appliances are complicit.
