From the articles it seems that the malware can't circumvent the permission system. If you give unlimited permissions to untrusted apps you have only yourself to blame, but otherwise you don't have to worry about where your apps came from.
Churches could create an app that displays the relevant verses/other information at a given time so you don't have to search for them. It could be implemented either by using a wifi network or a predetermined schedule.
The difference is, colour adds information that wasn't there. The information 3D adds can be easily derived from perspective. If you close one of your eyes you still see depth.
They are much better organised than their propaganda would led you to believe. This was a coordinated DDoS attack with dozens of members participating and Anonymous have claimed responsibility over it.
You are right, and I did keep the old wifi router because of the phones. But as every phone today has a microUSB port it should be possible to connect them to a networked computer for someone without wifi (I don't know about you but I simply can't imagine "wandering around" while browsing. Even when I'm not home I always find me a table to sit down to, or a bench if I'm outside).
Hundreds? Cable is very cheap, it only cost me about 10$. And the big problem with wifi that it does not work out of the box, you have to configure it for every computer and OS you have, and repeat the process after every big update, and if there are no problems it works. Also, you forgot to include the cost of the adapters, which more than doubles the cost.
Cheaper, faster, more reliable, doesn't have compatibility issues and unlike wifi adapters lasts much longer than two years. It requires some work to set up but you only have to do it once.
The difficult thing in fine art is not creating the works but selling them to the upper class. Everyone can paint a few lines with text on it, but it takes a real artist to sell them for thousands.
You assume that information was critical. From what I've heard it was on a central repository that a few hundred thousand government employees had access to. It wasn't a place for really secret stuff, and it's likely that most major powers already had those files. The only damage done was that the public got to know about them.
It's idiotic to compare those technological levels with today. Electric cars? Sure, if you pulled a trailer full of batteries with you, a didn't want to go past the corner. And while nuclear reactors did exist back than they weren't secure nor as efficient as those today. The biggest challenge in nuclear now is to build a breeder reactor that can burn ordinary U238, thus solving the world's energy needs for a thousand years. And for the first time it seems to be within reach.
Nuclear is not new. It only has a renewed propaganda campaign about how great it is - also not new, but needed given past failure and lack of credibility.
There can be considerable time between the invention of something and its maturity. Computers were invented in the fifties yet it wasn't until the nineties that they advanced to a level that allowed widespread acceptance.
Demand is growing faster than supply can grow.
This is a problem for capitalism to solve. If the prices go up, much of the unnecessary demand will disappear.
Everybody loves to blindly have faith science and smart people will solve all the problems our thoughtless selfishness create
I did not mention any kind of future magitechnology. My argument was based on either technology that exists today, or technology that is being researched today, and is predicted to be available in 10 years.
While "The limits to growth" is an interesting book, it assumes that collapse will be the result of humanity consuming more than the Earth can produce, slowly using up our reserves. According to them, there are two limits: the amount of resources/energy the Earth can produce, and the amount of pollution/harmful effects the environment can take. Their conclusion is that sooner or later humans will be forced to switch to renewable energy, and as reneweable sources won't be able to support those populations (the population we have today), the economy will collapse in 2020.
But there were many advancements in technology since the seventies. With new ways of storing energy (making for example electric cars possible) we now have the ability to switch completely to nuclear. And with advancement in nuclear energy, we can use many other sources we couldn't before, making nuclear reserves last for hundreds of years, during which time we have a good chance of cracking fusion. Nuclear energy also solves many environmental concerns, although other problems will still require our attention.
While fossil fuels are already running out, and their disappearence will surely shake the economy, it won't be the end of the world, and it won't be the end of consumption growth. Even if we really had to go renewal, our chances are much better now with all the research that went into it.
If you are interested in fascism you should learn some history instead of linking to the first bullshit you find on Google.
Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights
The Declaration of Human Rights was adopted in 1948, so fascist states could hardly recognize them.
Rampant Sexism
Actually, Mussolini was the first to give voting rights to Italian women.
Religion and Government are Intertwined
Hitler was often criticised for his german paganism by Christians, and in fact had plans of dealing Christianity once the war was over. And Mussolini gave Vatican to the Catholics so they could have their own state and don't interfere with his one.
Rampant Cronyism and Corruption
Corruption is one thing that tends to be lower in any dictatorship, including fascism.
Fraudulent Elections
Hitler won in fair elections, and Mussolini committed a coup. After that they banned all opposing parties, so they didn't need to cheat on elections. Elections simply didn't have any importance.
Slashdot Mirror
I don't know about America, but here in Hungary it goes both ways. For example many gipsies were convicted of racist violence.

Knowing how little most corporations know or care about security I wouldn't be so sure. Wireless car keys, for example, can already be hacked.
Yeah, the guys driving a Mercedes truck are certainly not upper-class.
He got some depth from the bottom of the ocean and then put it in the movie.

Before educating the students, they should have taught the teachers how to use the tehnology.

Most of these problems occur in "sciences" such as psychology or sociology. As a physicist, myou have little to fear.
Because it's very hard to prove they hired them.

Nuclear submarines have a crew that maintains the reactor. Unmanned reactors are not a good idea.

No, it would be 2077 then.
Computing doesn't require that much electricity, so solar cells or wind turbines should be enough.
