It is hard to imagine just how much this embraces the opposite of "Don't be evil". Bringing in someone from DARPA is pretty much a conduit to everything that is wrong and broken about American political life right now.
Suuuuuuuuuuure it is. This is just the start of Google Defense. Its their plan to come up with a better, ad-supported military.
This is the problem that trusted certificates is supposed to solve. It prevents MITM because they supposedly can't generate a key with fake credentials. The problem is that certificates aren't used on most wi-fi networks because they are too much trouble to set up and too expensive.
As opposed to the Muslims who conquered Palestine, North Africa, Iberia, Persia, Mesopotamia and southeastern Europe?
The Muslim Empire was successful in part because they were more tolerant than the rulers they replaced. The Jews in Spain had more rights under Muslim rule than under the Visigoths.
They call it a battery because it is a series of electrical cells. The term "battery" means the series arrangement; it comes from a military term for a series of guns. Generating electricity is the best-known use of an electrical battery, but isn't the definition.
So what? At one time in history 97% of the world's scientists thought the world was flat.
Bull. There has never been a time at which anyone we would call a scientist today believed the Earth was flat. Aristotle is generally viewed as formalizing and promoting the Scientific Method in the West in 300 BC and the spherical Earth was already accepted at that time. Only people who deny the obvious, attack those who disagree and try to rewrite children's textbooks claimed the Earth was flat.
Good for you for writing. Why do you think that response is strange? It makes perfect sense when the person who gets elected is the one who survives the attack ads of their adversaries. At least your politician was honest.
I don't vote from the rooftops, I vote in the school gym. In every election. Mitt Romney just won a whole state by 8 votes, so it does make a difference.
It sounds like what you want is not catch-and-release, but just to allow certain specific machines in your Sunday school to access the net. In that case you can enable the MAC address filter in the router to limit access to only those machines. Everyone else will be blocked. This solution requires no extra hardware or software, it is built into the router.
Eh? I never had source code at home. I had a fast, secure VPN link and did all editing, compiles and debug in a secure raised floor environment. Where's the security risk?
I found the opposite. All of us telecommuters kept a chat window open so we were constantly in touch and able to ask questions or give answers immediately. It was faster than being in the same building but not in the same part of the cheese maze.
We haven't reached that point yet, but if people in general continue to accept the intrusions as necessary, I'm not sure what short of civil war will stop it.
Would it be OK if we try writing letters to our representatives first?
Here's a start
Dear Congressman Cashdrawer,
As you know, the Air Marshall service is currently patting itself on the back for scrambling fighter jets tp save us from a guy who lit a cigarette in an airplane toilet. Also, an alert screener helped prevent obesity by confiscating a cupcake with an excessive amount of "gel-like" frosting. Despite these major successes, there is reason to be concerned about how funds are being spent by TSA. Although Facebook may well be a threat to "Life as we know it" it seems that the TSA does not understand its mission. It is monitoring social media sites looking for "reports that reflect adversely on the U.S. Government, DHS, or prevent, protect, respond government activities" (sic). However, the purpose of TSA is not to protect itself or the US Government, it is to protect the American people. Please do your F***ing job.
If I got a dollar for every time some idiot asked what was wrong without posting their code, what they have tried, and what versions of X they are using then I could retire to the Caribbean.
I am trying to recognize faces in images using jquery but it doesn't work. I need this by tomorrow, please tell me what is wrong.

There's a $30 charge for outrage. Sony owns the rights to it at the moment.
I guess you didn't actually take the time to understand the post to which you replied. Hint: it isn't about the meaning of "postnatural".
"The Bad Astronomer writes"
Nope. Probably not a math wiz, either.
It's called take a fucking CS course at your community college or ask on the Ubuntu forums full of dimbulbs who think "ls -a" is a lifehack.
Why would you take a CS course for an Admin problem? I think you don't know the first thing about computers.

Most people can understand more than black and white.
I just said more tolerant, not equal.

All actions have good and bad consequences. The fact that there may be some good consequences does not excuse a bad motivation.

Much safer is just to have a directory entitled "lolcats" with 20 hi-res pictures of cats. One of them says it's corrupted when you try to display it.
So I guess we are to line 3 already.

No comparison.
I think you misunderstood. These cars are made by Chevrolet, so they are Detroit Lions.
You have too admit it's orginal.
42m Rand is not 6.7m USD, it is more like 5.2m.

They also log and monitor all traffic on their networks, so it should be relatively easy for them to identify who is responsible.
But since they don't do evil, they won't be able to do anything about it.
