You can thank Arthur C Clarke for the concept of a space elevator. Actually geosynchronous satellites as well.
Sadly the technology to build a space elevator is not on the horizon. Rockets are still the only way up.
Space-X is doing it's best to reduce the cost to orbit.
The primary cost in repair is labor.
There is no such thing as a 10 minute repair. It can take that long to unpack the box it's shipped in. More like 2 hours. Add to that all of the other people involved, receiving, shipping, etc.
$60 part, $200 in labor and ancillary costs. And it's a business, they want to make a profit. You're at $300.
This is a TERRIBLE IDEA!
Get a clue. If a state makes a law that anyone can get access to repair parts and manuals the manufacturer will close all authorized service in that state. Require shipping the device out of state for repair. They could go as far as requiring shipping out of the US for repair. And, once out of warranty offer NO repair.
This won't help. It can only harm.
It sucks having to deal with authorized service. But a big reason why authorized service started was 3rd party service was a rip off. Companies went to time and expense to set up a service system. It's expensive.
I'm not making this up. I bought something. It stopped working. It had to be shipped to China for warranty repair. It wasn't expensive and I threw it out. Lesson learned.
you have no fears of Trump being proved right.
The only question is will he piss off enough people in the next few months, or in the next 2 or 4 years.
Stratus are an old school redundant parallel architecture. You can take a node off line without taking the system down. Beyond that multiple levels of redundancy with components. Portions of the system have certainly been taken down, but the system as a whole kept running.
No one would consider that kind of architecture now; much too expensive, when other solutions are available now. The key word in the previous sentence is "now".
Probably not an ad for Stratus, they don't really exist anymore.
The equivalent now is a server farm. There are systems (server farms) that have been running for over a decade.
Software liability is not new. Its use in automobiles is.
If you download, compile (or trust some 3rd party build), and use you are responsible.
If your self driving car, using open source software, is in an accident, you are responsible. There is no responsible 3rd party.
This is old law.
This is the meaning of use at your own risk.
Accept it, or don't use it.
The FTC, FCC, and Justice Dept. will have a field day.
Verizon will never be able to buy Comcast.
More likely the real target is Charter, and muddying the waters by throwing Comcast's name in is just a bargaining tactic.
I've spent a lot of time fixing other people's code.
I've spent too much time throwing out off shored code. Just worthless.
I've had offshore teams coding for me. Asia fails. China, India, never got it right. I had a team in Hungry, they were good. Not great, I said don't and one did it anyway. Language issues...
That argument is an epic failure. .
Since the only party that could put him for President had to fail first.
Tis the season for failures. I regret not supporting Bernie.
Post this as a registered acct, and someone might read it. I regularly get offered to moderate, so I read at -1. the default is 1. anonymous is 0. Few will read it. You may be correct, I'm not in a fact check mood.
Keep it simple. If you're worried about the neighborhood, anything will attract attention.
Make it look like you're rebuilding a bathroom, or something like that.
Fancy external locks are a major no, no. They show you have something to hide. Discrete, strong internal security works better, if you're that worried.
A big battery UPS, and a dedicated generator, will cover most power issues. A cell phone that can be tethered or be a wifi hotspot, as a backup plan.
And the comment about air conditioning is incorrect. Make sure you have last years electric, and other utilities. Usage above the previous year can be deducted, even if you are not taking a home office deduction. That is assuming you file a schedule C. Full time employee, no break, unless your employer reimburses you.
You kind of left out a word. It would rephrase to two words:
environmental extremists.
With that addition, I agree wholeheartedly.
But then, most extremism is bad for most people.
Most environmentalist are very concerned for what's good for people.
Absolutely correct!
There are several ways to use existing router features to do this. A few steps, a few minutes work.
Sadly, most are too ignorant to implement them.
Basically, how to get the unwashed massed to learn to implement them.
As the article mentions, this would likely need a nation state sponsor.
This attack is unfocused. The attacker probably has no idea what the individual IO points mean or do.
The attack would be only to destroy.
That's an Act of War.
You're next move Dr. Strangelove?
I write industrial control software. Most of my customers don't have their process control computers accessible, except as needed. As for IO points, at least with what I work on, each system is unique.

Stupid marketing ploy.
As a video engineer all I can do is shake my head at the stupidity.

I'd love to kill the mod that voted you as a troll. An obvious climate denier.
Read the ELU.
OK, few do. But read it before you sue. I'm surprised a lawyer took the case.

For that. blame the Russians

I doubt Trump will help.
I suspect it will get worse. Look at his cabinet nominations.
People voted anger, not intelligence.
The 2021 America's Cup.
This years boats are all graphite hulls.
Something stronger, lighter, cost not a major problem.
Could be interesting.
I'd love to comment on this. But given recent political events I don't want to invoke the Scope trial.
lol.
no effect.
Hoover from beyond the grave, good point.
Comey being a Trump shill, he is. That's obvious. And, perhaps an unwitting, Russian shill. He is.

Totally impossible. It violates the Constitution.
Since the Constitution would not fit.
Perhaps 100 pages.
