You are assuming that malware writers don't already know.
You only know that the public is ignorant of it and thus can't take measures to prevent it, such as uninstalling the broken software or not opening vulnerable file types.
I don't know which USPS you are talking about, but the United States Postal Service union contract has had a no-layoff clause for at least the last 25 years that covers over half a million postal workers(579k in March). Part time and seasonal workers are only a fraction of that.
The only thing they can do is what they've been doing: offer early retirement bonuses or close a location in the hope that the workers don't want to be reassigned.
Maybe they should ask the Pentagon to loan them some of those child-porn detectors, get a few out that way:)
And now, if you don't mind dropping $20k+ on a RED, you can take 12 MP pictures at 30 shots/second or 6 MP at 120 shots/second. Until you run out of disk, anyway.
Or if you don't want that many shots/second and want higher resolution, a Nikon D3x will do 24 MP at 5 shots/second for under $7k.
Please reread GGGP/original post. The original claim was that it would be cheaper to print than buy, whereupon GGP asserted that industrial machines would cost less per page than consumer machines. While true, it has nothing to do with the idea that you could print a book for less than you can buy it at a store.
GP agreed that consumer inkjet printers are costly, but restated that making a book with a moderately expensive laser POD machine would still be cheaper than buying. Regardless of the method used to print, retailers and distributors add substantially to the price of a book, so home printing doesn't need to be as cheap as industrial printing, only cheaper than retail.
GGGP:
If you have access to a print-on-demand machine, POD paperbacks are currently costing about the same as regular paperbacks retail(ie, no price difference if you are just printing for yourself). When those machines get to a desktop size, you'll probably be able to print them cheaper than you can buy them.
GGP:
No, just as with desktop printers, when the machines get to desktop size, the one-time cost of the machine will be more affordable, but the per copy production time will be longer and the per copy cost in consumables will be higher that what the large machines used by firms that do POD printing with a higher production volume use.
GP:
And just like with desktop printers, the price of office grade equipment will also drop, so you don't have to use consumer crap inkjets. I use an office desktop printer that prints for a penny per page of text. Stick a cutter/binder on the side of it and I could print cheaper than I could buy new mass-market paperbacks.
Oddly enough, this is an issue I'm willing to hand the Feds a glove and say "go for it".
While I enjoy a good road trip, I consider commuting a complete waste of time and would much rather spend my drive sitting in the passenger seat doing something useful while Robo-Jeeves does the work for me.
I would feel slightly bad for the elimination of taxi drivers, but robot taxis would actually reduce the impact of car non-ownership on those that can't afford one.
So you want to be like England, where they can search your car without cause and take you in for weapons possession for having a multitool in your briefcase.
If the password lying next to the machine is a security concern, than the machine is probably at risk for keylogging or audion/video recording of the keypresses.
And just like with desktop printers, the price of office grade equipment will also drop, so you don't have to use consumer crap inkjets. If you are printing more pages than an inkjet cartridge holds, an office machine will pay for itself fairly quickly, even with the additional consumables.

I'm unlikely to get a POD machine, as I have been preferring digital more and more lately, but it'd be neat to have next to my CNC machine.
Copying of a paper book is possible, but it costs more than the physical book, considering equipment, software and time.
Not for much longer.

I wouldn't want to, myself. Not enough storage space, even if I pulped the ones I only read once.
You just need find a set of lenses that reduces the chromatic aberration but still has a decent plane of focus. Lots of people have done crystal clear shots.
If stacking lenses doesn't work, then ophthalmologists have some explaining to do:)
Really? Oh wait, there's these photos... He does seem to be getting some chromatic aberration, though.
I've done a similar thing with the large front lens from a set of binoculars on my camera as a $15 macro lens.
Works decent enough, but since I picked cheap binocs, the lens was attached to the front tube instead of being separate, so the edge shows a bit if I'm zoomed all the way out. I could saw it down but the eyepiece cap fits perfectly over the open end.
If you think a group of disperse individuals will each have the same equipment to collaborate you're dreaming.
CNC routers, extruders, and sintering machines are all within range of the hobbyist much like computers were 30 years ago. Several people will loan you a prototyping machine if you promise to loan out the one you build with it.
Just the availability of small $200 XYZ stages makes tons of industrial automation possible: pick&place, automated testing, cutting, and the already mentioned routing and prototyping. Add in the advances in visual mapping and object simulation and you can even start doing assembly.
Loans against future revenue. Just show the bank a million dollar check from the label and don't tell them that the label makes you spend 75% of it on your next record.
Funny, you'd think a blackberry user would remember the bb storm. All screen, no keyboard and it distinguishes hovering from clicking.
Not that I'm saying the bb storm touchscreen was particularly good, but at least it let you interact with the web as if you had a mouse. Now if only it didn't freeze up every other week.

Seriously, "display ads determined by *FOO*" is the new "do *BAR*, but on the internet".

And that's why I do what I do with any other media: back it up. They can delete away, I'll just copy it back.

Yay, the future is here.
The trick would be to provide just bandwidth and privacy, no storage nor any sort of search/matchmaking service.
If they emphasis that they are selling "lack of logging", then they should be better off than "file exchange" services.

Unless you backed it up, which I hope anyone on here would be paranoid enough to do.
Odd feature I just noticed recently: if more than 3 people mark a passage in a kindle, it shows up on everybody's copy. It's optional, though.

Wow, where was this?
I definitely wouldn't want to go boating there, if they're that territorial...
Put the antenna someplace your hand isn't likely to cover. I'd have to hold my phone sideways to cover the antenna while talking.
Clearly you have never googled "stack lenses" or seen a lens coupling adapter or seen this guy's rig.

I vaguely remember some guy that distributed the source code to his software, allowed you to patch it and allowed you to distribute the patches.
But you couldn't distribute the patched software, the user had to apply the patches.
