They are illegal, in the US and a bunch of other countries, don't know about India.
In the US, you are dealing with the National Information Infrastructure Protection Act of 1996, making it a Federal crime. Here is a link to the DoJ's web site. Virus creators fall into this same category.
However, AiPlex is based in India. Couldn't tell you about their laws... however, I'm sure that there may be a few people who take down their site.... from the AiPlex web site: "Aiplex Software Pvt. Ltd. is one of the leading providers of healthcare (Medical Transcription), Net Vigilance (Anti movie piracy) and Search Engine Optimization (SEO) services to clients across the globe."
Sure, the planes all but fly themselves anyway, right? When you get on a public bus, you don't have a co-bus driver, right?
Two things: The FAA or EASA would have to approve this (yeah, like that is going to happen) and Ryanair's CEO is a true believer in "Any publicity is better than no publicity."
Yeah, but those three depend upon each other! Control the prostitutes with drugs and guns. Ship drugs via prostitutes with guns. Ship guns with prostitutes on drugs...
Wow... that's vicious! Even the legalization of drugs and prostitution would require a lot of regulation. Wait, are guns legal or illegal now, I can't remember..
Our CVRs are 30 minute. The bad thing is that 30 minutes does not cover a lot and the pilots know this and can record over information.
The FDRs that are out there are acceptable, however, they data stored and downloaded via PCMCIA card.
The information stored on these devices should easily be communicated to a back-up unit. Also, it would be beneficial if the data was transmitted upon each landing. As for the CVRs, there should be no way to for the pilots to know that within 30 minutes, the device will write over. Regional flights are usually at least an hour. I would say that CVRs, dependant upon type of aircraft, should be at least two times the recording capability of the average flight time of that particular A/C for that fleet type per operator. These could then have drives either swapped out or downloaded upon a landing.
Let FOX News know and tell them that it will open up millions of computers to potential identity theft scams, destroy the integrity of national security, and could cause you to be impotent.
Just send me the account login information and passwords for your bank accounts and I'll make sure that they are hard to crack. Oh, I'll also hook you up with this friend of mine from Nigeria, who is a banker and probably has some money for you.
Ok, after watching the sensationalistic article and perusing the website, I call BS. Many of the installations on the map are military bases. To work on certain planes, you must hold Top Secret clearance. I don't recall whether the article showed whether or not the number of "almost a million" included persons within the military, but with many in the military holding TS clearances, I wouldn't be surprised.
No kidding that there are a lot of people out there with TS clearances. Would you want someone to be building a satellite to NOT have been heavily investigated? I wonder how many of those 800,000+ people received their clearance from the military (ie served in the military).
They say that there are 45 agencies that fall into "Top Secret America." Of those, 20 are primarily military agencies/commands/armed forces. NSA/CIA/NRO/NGA/DNI all have a significant military presence.
Just more BS because people don't have the transparency they want.
As the IPBFree forums were also shut down earlier this week with the only information I have seen regarding it was from a Twitter account...

I think that with SWTOR on the horizon, WoW may have to do a lot to prevent losing users. Pissing off a bunch of consumers could lead to unsatisfied customers who may find something "better."
It's a little difficult to implement something like an all out ban on websites by military personnel. If the DOD were to do something like that, you might see all kinds of 'Robin Sage' or 'Leeeeroy Jenkins' names appear.
Military personnel don't always surf the web at work...
So a private security firm AND the police have the right to try and sentence people without so much as a trial? NICE!
I bet Miami-Dade PD is going to have to throw up some decent PR on this one...
Oh wait, it's in the name of anti-terrorism and public safety...

Until they start selling "Plastiki" boats to people who will pay lots of money for other people's trash?

Then see how fast it gets fixed.
And here I thought we might be talking Heidi Fleiss or Ashely Dupree.
Disappointing.
I think that this can apply to any guild in any MMO...
No but the PR department would have it done to look like they were doing more than monitoring blank screens.

"On" spun off from Moto in 1999. "Freescale" was done in 2004.

I'm sure if it means a decent paying job with benefits, some people will forego the "I won't work for a company that piss tests people" idea.

I think that with SWTOR on the horizon, WoW may have to do a lot to prevent losing users. Pissing off a bunch of consumers could lead to unsatisfied customers who may find something "better."
I wonder if the "Slashdot Effect" would be considered a "cyber assault"?

Maybe they are also working with the Miami-Dade Police Department and a private security firm to set a precedent...
Actually, I believe that you can be "detained" without being charged for up to 24 hours.
But there has to be reasonable suspicion for them to do this.
So a private security firm AND the police have the right to try and sentence people without so much as a trial? NICE! I bet Miami-Dade PD is going to have to throw up some decent PR on this one... Oh wait, it's in the name of anti-terrorism and public safety...

Sure. I'm really an engineer at Area 51 and will disclose anything that you need to know...
Besides, civilization as we know it was limited to that area. A flood in the Middle East, would be "the whole world."
Wrong presidency. The current president will send them money to help develop their resources.
