    were have I read about that recently? Oh yeah, Hillary Clinton's "disappeared" email server with it's self-signed cert. Running Exchange 2010 MitM might not be very easy, but when you've got an entire country funding you (China, NK, Russia, etc) nothing like that is actually impossible.

    Yeah, non-friends that won't really work. Perhaps posting on their wall directly might work, but I'm betting their FB account is completely private already. I'll also bet that the lawyer probably paid the "not friends" fee Facebook charges...it's only $1 and can easily be added into the settlement. This can also work as a "delivery receipt" as Facebook itself should (but I've never paid to send a message so I don't really know) confirm it was delivered. The woman has probably already used every other listed means of communications without any response; Facebook probably wasn't the courts first choice but the last resort.

    BLAH BLAH "CALIFORNIA" WHATEVER. You do realize that there are these "building codes" in CA, thus why these quakes don't bother you. I work in one of the few "earthquake" proof buildings in the state, the old SABRE building at the Tulsa airport. At my apartment, on the second floor, we've watched glasses of water shake like on Jurassic Park...and we're about 100 miles from where these injection wells are. There is building damage in Pryor and other towns...a Google image search for "oklahoma earthquake damage" will show MANY houses that are damaged.

  5. Re:But do we know? on The Arrival of Man-Made Earthquakes · · Score: 1

    Just like Oklahoma has a high density of climate chaos denial too...okies are amazing at their ability to deny anything that isn't happening right in front of them ESPECIALLY when the cause isn't also blindingly obvious. It snows in OK, so there is no "global warming". Earthquakes can be natural, therefor ALL earthquakes are natural. This all stems from a deeply held religion belief that mankind is unable to modify the planet in any significant way. Genesis 8:22: “As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease.” This is the ENTIRE reason Christian fundies say human influenced climate change is impossible, also why human induced earthquakes are impossible. There is no way to prove this to them; no amount of proof can overcome the cult-like environment they have been indoctrinated in since birth. Even if a huge dust bowl formed while the ground itself crumbled from our activities they would STILL claim humans could never do this and it was all God.

  10. Re:How is the delivery made? on Amazon Tests Delivery Drones At Secret Canada Site After US Frustration · · Score: 1

    They could use the existing USPS locations. I can see Amazon forcing the USPS, via lobbyist regulations, to force them to allow drone drop-offs. Amazon could even provide a pre-packaged cargo container "box" that has a small landing pad on top, with the internals containing a track / sort system to push and sort internal packages to road-based drones for the final mile eventually. Since USPS is still technically under federal control and taxpayer "subsidized" this would be the simplest, quickest solution.

    I would program my drones to home in on house's mailboxes. They are all right next to the street, are all required to fall within certain shape parameters already by USPS. Dropping the package off within X feet of them, using visual algorithms to see were the grass / street / trees that already exists.

    Around here, people who live close to the airport are really poor anyway and don't have much disposable income for Amazon. And there's no reason there won't be "drop off points" for those areas...the packages being dropped off at a drone ground delivery processing point just outside the 5 mile limit.

    And with the development of more efficient motors / rotors the noise will go down. Less noise = less friction = more fuel efficiency, so the noise should drop the better the tech gets. Eventually we'll see blades made with "bizarre" edges 3D printed out, edges designed for maximum flow and noise.

    "costs more than a truck with a driver". Are you sure? Where is your math? Amazon will have a central "flight center", technical schools will start offering single semester "drone flight" classes for 2 and 3 year pilot programs; possibly an entire degree program including maintenance and repair.. Here in Tulsa we have Spartan (yes, the same school the 9/11 guys trained at lol)...Amazon could easily set up a flight center on the airport property and hire students on shift work, interns, hire graduates, etc. We already have tons of call centers here; the city of Jenks would JUMP at the opportunity to pull something like that here. It would be a win-win for all.

    Eventually the "big boys" will jump on this too. I work doing ITSM for AA / USAIR / etc, there's little stopping integrating drones into M&E and all the other backend systems. Well, other than the FAA moving at a snails pace.

    Like maybe a smartphone? There will probably be some app, "Your delivery is nearby, please go outside to receive" that then homes in on you.

    The "real" attacks, the ones that penetrate networks and steal data, usually aren't done from botnets. Heartbleed was a server-level hole; exploits in routers abound. The whole system would have to be re-worked from the ground up to get rid of all the holes; then we have people like at the NSA who would purposely put them back again.

    I see a "new" network, proprietary and locked down, for "real world" applications. All the "important" data will be on it only; banks, Wall Street, governments, etc will use this from now on. They will publish some type of virtual machine for "regular people" to use to do banking and whatever; or even two physical machines in one. Eventually the current "internet" will become less and less of a target as it looses it's financial impact and becomes completely social and informational only. FTTH could do this with multiple wavelength frequencies on the same line. The current system is too open, too unsecured to ever "fix" it.
