If aiding a foreign country were treason, then everyone who tossed £1 into the Christimastime collection bucket for Somali orphans would have been hung by now.
In New York and DC (the only places I really board trains in the USA) you have to wait in a long single queue and show your ticket to someone before you can get down to the platform. It's not like in most countries where you just walk on.
It is of course possible that people don't take potshots with RPGs because they know it will be ineffective given the motorcade.
Security is a game of closing off the easy options, so that an attacker has to use difficult, expensive, and time-consuming ones that increase the chance of getting nabbed before they pull it off.
You pay for inefficiencies in the private sector the same way you do for those in the public sector: higher costs or less value for money.
Inefficiency in the private sector is often very persistent. If everyone in the market is relaxing, then nobody has a big incentive to rock the boat. When company A cleans up their act, company B must as well, and then they're back at the same profit margins, except without the fat that was keeping them comfortable (corporate jets, etc.).
In many industries new entrants are very rare due to capitalization or infrastructure or regulatory barriers. The incumbents sit around with their thumbs up their asses and we all pay for it.
Anybody else find it odd that we put so much effort into protecting the president from outside threats (armored motorcades, well defended aircraft, bunkers, etc) when every President that met an untimely end met it at the hands of an American citizen?
I don't get your point.
Do you know of some reason that armored motorcades are particularly vulnerable to US citizens, thereby making them inappropriate for the threat model?
4 and a half months of, what, running various malware scanners?
I'm pretty sure after you've scanned everything a few times, you would move on to something more intensive. Bringing in specialists, analyzing network traffic, examining machines in depth, and so on.
The fact alone pretty much makes WHOIS useless if you need to contact someone.
I use one of those proxy services to register domains. They require a valid email address and test periodically to make sure it works. They publish an auto-generated random-looking email address for each domain, and reliably forward mail to the address I've provided. People who need to contact me are able to do so instantly.
Many, many issues abound here. How secure is the separation between the two networks? What protections do I have in case of someone using my connection maliciously? How will this affect my total bandwidth and speed?
Dutch cable ISP Ziggo does this. There's a separate 10mbps for the public hotspots that doesn't come out of your own capacity. Guests also use a different IP, and of course they have to log in so their usage can be tracked back to their home account.
Or just a field which said "bank account". Currency is not really an important factor.
Of course it is. If I am receiving payments made in USD, to a USD account in a bank in Europe, I sure don't want them making any stupid assumptions and sending the money in EUR. That will cost me several percent.
1. Socialism requires the concentration of power in one entity. That is what socialism is.
In theory (I won't argue that it's the case in practice), this entity is "the people" which includes everyone.
2. In capitalism, even though corporations may become powerful, they don't have the power to arrest or kill you.
Private security forces detail and kill people every day, very often with either explicit legal cover, or at least effective immunity because there are no consequences for the perpetrators and/or their paymasters.
They never had "innovation" as the iphone has consistently been behind other leading devices (usually by a year or more) on features.
For some companies, "innovation" means throwing 100 different features at the wall to see if any of them stick. Along the way, most of the people who bought those devices are fucked, because most of them paid for "features" that weren't usable, or devices that included huge compromises in order to accommodate those "features".
For other companies, "innovation" means spending the time to figure out how do the things that are really worth doing, better than anyone else has.
As a customer, I far prefer the second, even if it means I have to wait 6 extra months for the life-altering experience of a new feature on my telephone.
They know what an iphone is, and equate it with smart phone. never mind that the competing phones do more, do it better, and do it at a lower price.
Yeah, I'm no techno neophyte - I've written popular applications for both platforms, and I understand the technology inside and out.
The reason I prefer the iPhone is that I can count on it. Android is consistently buggy, inconsistently updated by carriers, and easily confounded by poorly-developed apps.
The iphone is consistently a year or more behind the major Android players in features
Don't give a shit. I am much more interested in a phone that always works when I need it, rather than one which offers the latest poorly conceived fad gimmicks.
If you are trying to save a few bucks, or you view playing with a phone as a fun little techno-hobby activity, then definitely Android can be appealing. If you just want to get on with your business/social life and have the phone enable that process when called upon... not so much.
Okay. My point is that satellite ISPs have a huge footprint. I have brought dishes from the Midwestern USA to Central America, and from Europe to the Middle East, and they worked fine. You can shop around more than you think. Just because someone has a distributor agreement for your town doesn't mean it's really the only option.
I do not have any concrete proof of the nonexistence of such an attempt. Like all attempts to prove a negative, I must rely in large part on the lack of evidence that an attempt has occurred. I've been involved with VoIP for over 10 years and never heard of such a thing. Nor does the article mention it. Nor do any of the other discussions of the topic.
How many residential cable or DSL modems have Gigabit Ethernet
All the modems provided by both cable companies in this country have gigabit ethernet. Otherwise who's going to upgrade to their 100/150/200/etc tiers?
I know many people still have slower connections, but OpenWRT doesn't really have anywhere else to go in terms of supporting devices that are no longer being manufactured (or soon to be discontinued). It's much more interesting and productive for them to focus on adding new features that take advantage of new hardware and modern trends in connectivity.
Anyone who wants/needs to use older hardware is still free to do so with the existing versions of OpenWRT.
There needs to be some sort of "horse has left the barn" exemption to patent enforceability. If a patent holder sits quietly and watches while an industry develops around something they believe to be infringing, it's not reasonable to allow them to wait until billions of dollars are at stake and then suddenly show up with a demand for payment.
That's not at all in the spirit of patent law. The purpose was to allow the patent holder the ability to exploit their own invention, not to allow them to sit on their asses doing nothing and then exploit everyone else's work.

Makes you wonder how slow their supply chain is, that it could get this far out of hand.
A PDF is no good for a journal; they have to rebuild the document to suit their publication process. With a PDF that's basically not possible.

Fascinating. I wondered who registered sean-is-mistaken.co.uk.
My ISP provides a separate external IP address for guest access. It took about 10 seconds to confirm that. How hard is it to check your IP address?

The US has no currency controls. There are reporting requirements at various thresholds but no restrictions on how much money can be sent in or out.
Of course it is. If I am receiving payments made in USD, to a USD account in a bank in Europe, I sure don't want them making any stupid assumptions and sending the money in EUR. That will cost me several percent.

If the site had been programmed to published standards instead of vendor-specific kluges, it would still work fine today.
This is solely a consequence of poor vendor selection or project definition.

Hint: it's satellite. Your "area" is huge and in almost all cases encompasses multiple countries.
My slowest option is 25mbps.
