How about a common converse issue person A has a smartphone setup to connect to his linksys wireless network he walks down the street and the phone connects to his neighbors linksys network. Was he wiretapping or ortherwise hacking there network? Common sense tells me no they did nothing to keep there signal contained within there property or to keep people out of there network. As a network eng I know that basic troubleshooting involved sniffing traffic. From the case they were not spoofing the gateway IP or otherwise gaming the network, just listening to what they could see. This is no different than you shouting next to me and then complaining that I overheard.
The web was only a few years old in 1995. There were the seeds of youtube I remember watching the video of a DOT blowing up a dead whale and sending rotten whale meat over something like a quarter mile (I was working on putting all the DOT's public information to be available online at the time). Anyway there was very little infotainment but a lot of content at the time was still primarily accessible via gopher etc and you needed to understand how to do research to find it as search was very primitive.
Why yes it was there was content, not people telling each other what they had for dinner and when they had a BM. When you searched for information about a piece of hardware you got the manual and other useful information not the marking drivel. The noise ratio of the internet has gone up dramatically as it's become more and more commercial.
The only broken thing I've found is the assumption you have, want, or need a gui on your linux boxes. I own a half dozen Linux boxes in my home and the only GUI that I want on any of them is XBMC. Anything that can not be done at the command line is broken MS is even figuring this out with powershell. My daily desktop is a linux gnome, windows 7, and osx running from a single keyboard and mouse and three monitors. Most of the UI I use on a regular basis I had back in the days of dos. The only thing I can think of that's new is multipoint touch pads and that's primarily for tablet interfaces. Mice got more buttons (useful) and I use a IBM Type M so i cannot speak to the new keys but them seem useless.
Yes the world should be fully nurfed so people only die of old age or ailments we do not have cures for. Back in reality land leaving the house is a trade off. Time is just about the most precious thing next to you and your family's lives for a lot of people. Trading a marginally higher risk of death vs about 40 minutes a week saved traveling if your commute is the full 40 miles seems like a very reasonable trade off. I think one of the huge issues with train and buss adoption is they are not thinking about the number #1 factor for most people that it must be faster door to door than driving the whole distance. Cheaper, eco friendly, etc are all nice side benefits but at the end of the day most people need to get from point a to b in the least amount of time leaving at any arbitrary time.
So 8 minutes a day more to spend with you kids if you commute via this road. 40 Minutes in a 5 day work week 2000 minutes in a 50 work week year. I'll take 33 ish hours a year to do with as I please.
Granted this seems like a great place for high speed rail 2-300 mph city center to city center and safer than driving.
So they go around sticking test strips and liquid in peoples drinks. Sure it's perfectly safe we told you so. Has the FDA even approved it or is it super secret we cant let them know it does not work.
Yea you still need to buy the soda. Bag in box unlike the old canisters is pretty low maintenance since there is little to no air introduced into the system. Sams club normally stocks them costco seems to have them for sale as well. In my case the local pepsi distributor was more than happy to drop them off. I've even gotten whole setups to dispense dropped off for non profit events with them donating the rental and the supplies.
Agreed the burbs are the bastard child the worst of both worlds in many ways. Country living is so much more enjoyable, towns with multiple acre minimum per unit building lots. I can walk to the center of town reasonably with a handful of stores. With a primary telecommute job it's rather workable put about 8k miles on the traveling car last year.
The unit docs used to be excellent then the 90's came and the fired technical writers and told engineers to do it. Engineers as expected have piles of domain knowledge and that reflects in there documentation couple that with a general disdain for the mess that most languages are and you get something with a steep learning curve that has a tenancy to be out of date
That's a bit of a start, but it needs to go far deeper than that. Right now most passwords over the web are only protect by session encryption but there are multiple methods to have only something that validates that you know the password. Having a standard across the industry that says no passwords shall ever be sent over the line client ot server except to send a new password and gives several methods to so do means that web browsers and a lot of other things can all implement it. This keeps the I pulled it out of my butt rot13 type stuff from happening as the developer could be liable for doing so and it gives them ammo when facing there management that's wants to do something. It also makes it easy for auditors come come in and check for compliance.
Same as any other well thought out engineering discipline. You have a standard, a bridge engineer can be liable when they do not follow well established standards or do significant amounts of testing. There are plenty of standards bodies that could deal with making such standards. We already have them for specific applications like control of nuke reactors. Library's would quickly be made to implement a lot of these standards.
The reaction was expected, I also expect/hope he gets to personally sue each and ever person involved along with the airline to insure this does not happen again.
And him having no chance of being elected is a bad thing how? A politician showing that they are clueless about statistics or will willfully misrepresent them is a good reason to not elect them.
This is no different that faking caller id info been able to do that since i first got access to a isdn line (caller id info is send as part of call setup on pretty much any digital phone system) that does not mean it's untraceable.
As to security if you bank is doing more than sending you a one time pin to your cellphone they have issues. Granted a shared secret pin generator is probably a better idea but sending a sms works to nearly everything now no app required on the client side.
Yes the constitution is a living document, if we go down that road of allowing any particular religion to force itself on everybody else were pretty screwed. The SCOTUS can interpret anything anyway they want they have no method of enforcing anything as that is an executive power. Edward v. Aguillard was very specific it bared states from pushing any particular religion, it only had 2 dissenters. Anyway this has already been interpreted based on constitutional law and wold be very odd for them to even hear another case on that point without a constitutional amendment. SCOTUS gave specific instructions on how to interpret that phrase in Lemon v. Kurtzman so yes 1a precludes the government (fed, state, and local) from advancing, inhibiting or becoming entangled with religion.
The point of required education is to insure children have a basic education. Your not required to send your children to school but you must educate them to a defined minimum standard.
So where do I fit in I assume the government is generally run by idiots as that is the safest assumption. So the best defense is to limit there power to the largest extent possible. I also believe that the population is a whole are sheep and follow whatever the snake oil salesmen are selling.
PS since you seem to put everybody into a pro-theocracy or anti camp I do send my child to catholic school, it's a better standard of education. Teaching morals is a parents job not the state if the parent chooses to enlist religion or anything else that is a parents choice to make and that is a basic human right.
Get a large sanctioning body to back it. Ebay cares little about religion they care about charge backs and disputed sales. So if that scroll is backed by said sanctioning body it's just a question of did the mailman deliver it.
You really think nobody else knew about these already? per your sig censorship is obscene is this any different? Whats the downside the vulnerabilities are not there and thus not an issue or people can be informed and mitigate them? You can only guess that nobody else has discovered an issue it's better to assume somebody has and fix it than to sweep it under the rug.
If I sell ya a vial as something that I say a catholic priest blessed into holy water and a catholic priest did do so it's pretty straight forward I can prove the action was done. I can not prove that it is anything more than water some guy from some organization did something to. Most of your less prominent religions etc don't have a sanctioning body to fall back on.
Our democracy is limited one of those limits is that the state and the church are separate. That you do not get to shove your religion down my throat because you believe in it. Pose an alternate theory that can stand up to basic scientific scrutiny or it's not science and stays out of science class. Feel free to perform your religion indoctrination in Sunday school or what have you.
Schools need to remain neutral I grew up in the age of MADD/DAMM when we started to attempt to indoctrinate moral values. Were sliding down that slippery slope like a greased pig as everybody wants there morals taught as the correct ones. We have allready decided that no you do not get to break up because one group wants something different than the rest it was the civil war and a hundred years of growing pains that followed. My best alternative plan is to let people send there children to the school of there choice the hard part is how to fund it and require a basic level of education across the board.

Well reducing the amount of liquid in the extra large gande venti whatever is probably not a bad thing. Still does absolutely nothing for security.
So they go around sticking test strips and liquid in peoples drinks. Sure it's perfectly safe we told you so. Has the FDA even approved it or is it super secret we cant let them know it does not work.
And nobody is forcing them to lease spectrum. They are using the public resource to provide a commercial product.
Yea you still need to buy the soda. Bag in box unlike the old canisters is pretty low maintenance since there is little to no air introduced into the system.

Get a bar gun installed, about 35 cents per L all told up front investment about a hundred bucks on ebay.

It's not uncommon for companies to buy less than a whole company to avoid lines of business they are not interested in.

You cant take your nexus to them but they and republic wireless are about the best bets fro cheap reliable phone service.
