If you overheard a genuine threat, you'd have to be able to prove it with a recording. Otherwise, the whole effort is useless. But yes, the divulging and long-term storage should be carefully controlled.
If it was done well and successfully, the budget should be very reasonable compared to the rest of the national budget, and it could be an integral part of a country's transportation security. But now I'm just dreaming.
Probably. You're in a public place, and could be overheard anyway. I think it's actually a good idea. There should be more looking and listening going on, and less invasive searching.
Because if they decide to implement it in the future, they can do so without taking the time to pass a new law. And "current" means today, not tomorrow.
its web team was having to spend a lot of time making its new website look normal on IE7
That's a common problem with "new" web sites. Try writing an "old" web site. It will do everything you need it to do, but it'll be faster, and run on every browser. It can still look very pretty, too.
Or, at the very least, test in increments using various browsers, instead of once you're finished. When I was in college, incremental testing easily made the difference between passing and failing a programming course.
You'd better not take a machine back from one customer and sell it to another customer without re-imaging the drive. If NewEgg doesn't have the necessary expertise or budget to completely refurbish the machine, then they need to send it back to the manufacturer. Yes, unnecessary returns and refurbs are an extra cost, but that's life.
It should return an error code and a block page. The error code tells you that it's not a real web page, and the block page tells you why. This mitigates the hijacking as much as possible. If it timed out, it wouldn't really be a hijack, but then you'd have to wait for it to time out and wonder what the problem was.
4xx error codes mean the user has requested a page that's somehow unavailable, which is the truth. It's unavailable because the ISP is blocking it. 5xx codes are server errors, which is not correct.
How does someone obtain 70 million Yahoo passwords, and the associated demographic information?
On average, Bonneau found that user-chosen passwords offer less than 10 bits of security against online attacks, meaning it would only take around 1000 attempts to try every possible password
A 3-letter password would require up to 17,576 attempts, and a 4-digit pin would require up to 10,000. So I don't know what kind of passwords these people are using.
I don't think it's more of a problem on Wikipedia than anywhere else on the Internet. First, they should require that people sign in before editing. The problem with a filter is that it would be difficult to prevent kids from opting out. Even on YouTube, all you have to do is click a button agreeing that you're at least 18.
Children from poor families are less interested in education, and more likely to be poor themselves. I knew this in 6th grade. It's just that back then they were wasting time on analog entertainment, and picking fights.
Spam is inevitable when you let anyone in the world email you. So is phishing.
Yes, the SMTP protocol is probably less than ideal. And yes, there is no perfect email client that I know of. But before we can replace it, we have to come up with a system that's truly better for everyone, and similar enough that there can be a transparent gateway from the old system to the new one.
Email won't go away. If anything, it'll be replaced with a different protocol that works basically the same way for the end user. There is no replacement for the idea of email that will do what email does. All you can do is add features.
This is not a cloud-based world. It's a device-based world, with the cloud as a big component. So yes, Windows 8 will do fine as long as Microsoft doesn't screw it up too much. Even better if it does well on both a PC and a mobile device.
Yeah. Thanks, but I can tell when I'm tired and adjust the computer accordingly, But when I'm that tired, the size of the buttons doesn't matter anyway.
Yes, but you have to prove the actual damages, the cause of those damages, and the liability. Legally, I don't think climate change is a damage. Famine is. And the federal government isn't responsible for the fact that people want to drive cars, generate electricity, and reproduce.
Can the government do something? Probably. Can they do enough? I don't know.

Please send me all of your "worthless" paper money. I'll send back a box of pure copper pieces.

They went through a couple of bad updates, but the current version works fine as long as you click View, Compact View.

It's probably the most accurate, because the request is denied due to someone's policy, not due to an error.
I guess it might take fewer tries than that, due to hash collisions. But that's why the hashed passwords should be unattainable.

2-Wire routers are popular for DSL and Uverse, but Charter rents wireless routers now too.

I don't know whether to call Zaphod for help, or start stocking bottled water.

I'm not worried, just pointing out that there's no absolute security. VPN connections are very handy for several reasons if you have the means.
feel free to operate your own resolvers
Your ISP can still sniff your traffic.

10... 9... 8... 6...
Six? What happened to seven??
Just kidding!

Good call, but I'll just take Jeri Ryan instead.
It's not very useful by itself. But as a research tool, it could lead the way to much more important discoveries.
