That was my immediate reaction as well, I mean, Windows on a fricken speed camera? Those things need to run under adverse conditions with dodgy power and who knows what else, and they use an OS that needs more care than an incontinent puppy?
You're right, when they wrote Cotex they meant Kotex, which you need to insert to stop the rectal bleeding caused by seeing yet another announcement of an IoT PoS.
Charles Bronson is alive and well, and serving a life term in prison. You're thinking of Chuck Norris, for whom it's easy enough to charge $1 for phonecalls, he just picks up and shouts into a random inanimate object, and everyone who he decides needs to hear him gets the message.
Key management, motherfucker, do you speak it? Say 'embedded private key' again. Say 'embedded private key' again, I dare you, I double dare you motherfucker, say embedded private key one more Goddamn time!

Of course there's evidence of this, it just changes every couple of years. Previous candidates: Heavy metal, Dungeons and Dragons, [...] stamp collecting, trading cards, [...] Morris Dancing, [...] cave painting [...] banging rocks together. I've left out a few hundred of them just to save space.
Why would you want to? It's not Visual Studio itself, it's just a code editor. There are a bazillion code editors out there, and the VS one isn't really that spectacular, it's just the editor you use when you use VS.
It is federal property, and thus city and county zoning laws can't be enforced, and the NIMBYs and BANANAs can't just stop everything from being built.
I can understand the Nimbys, but why would people with Asian ancestry object to stuff being built?
What sort of burglars are you expecting that drive around with a trunk full of heavy engineering tools that they carry into each house they break into on the remote chance they'll need them? The typical burglary is: go to the house looking as inconspicuous as possible (hint: carrying bolt cutters and power tools and whatnot is a dead giveaway that you're not a door-to-door salesman), force entry, grab anything easily accessible in the 30-45s before the alarm goes off, get out.
In my case it'd take them the entire alarm delay just to locate the computer (it's tucked into an alcove under a desk in the office), at which point they're not going to race out to their car and haul in tools just to liberate a PC that might fetch all of $100 on Craigslist. Instead, they'll grab the $20 wrapped around a pile of ones and gaudy (fake) jewellery on the dresser, possibly grab the AV receiver (paid $50 on eBay, but it looks expensive and has the original $499 price tag on it), and leave again.
Interesting how many people are saying encryption, encryption, encryption. That's not really going to help if they steal the only (encrypted) copy of your data. Backups are also a pain because you still need to restore everything, and unless you're restoring to exactly identical hardware you'll need to reinstall your OS and then by extension any apps on it.
My anti-theft measure is a hardened steel cable through a metal plate on my PC and then the metal frame of the desk it's at. Try stealing that.
It was actually quite disrespectful, originating in the term "jerry-built", because post WWI Germany was reduced to exporting shoddy products in order to try and recover from the financial black hole it was in.

Firefox doesn't allow most cookies and deletes the rest every time I close it (i.e. many times a day).
Yeah, it crashes a lot for me too.

Exactly. They should reintroduce Amiton, you can't develop any resistance to that. One fumigation and you'd clear the building.

See: Goodhart's Law, "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure".
It's OK, they'll be recycled in the coking plant. Waste not, want not.

Argh, just checked and there's actually a legit version of Star Wars Underworld, some sort of planned TV series. What's the opposite of rule 34?
my kids love episode 1 with young Anakin and Jar-Jar, and my daughter loves episode 7 with a new female hero.
What does their dad think of Star Wars Underworld?

Top-notch reporting from The Outline
Given that they couldn't even get the name of the NSA right, I'd say it's medium-notch reporting at best.
Wow, looks like Apple have taken the design features of the GNXT text editor and turned it into a phone UI.

Anyone with a dremel can steal it in 1 minute.
Is this some new nuclear-powered model that can cut through a hardened steel cable in a minute?
Also, see my other reply further down. You're entirely missing the point of the exercise.

I'd say if you're launching a $2B satellite you're looking at the wrong organisation to build your satellites.
"This is just much harder in practice than people think..."
The Russians don't seem to be having much trouble doing it. Maybe the Pentagon should consider outsourcing. It'd be a lot cheaper too.

It's OK, the mines are Italian :-).
There are tons of jerry cans scattered all over the Western Desert that are free for the taking. Made in Germany, so you know they're good quality.
This was obviously an unforeseen bug that was nearly impossible to anticipate
Ahh, where's Malcolm Tucker when you need him:
In the words of the late great Nat King fucking Cole, unforeseeable, that's what you are.
