All these Chinese drones are able to survive shipping via regular mail carrier through half of the planet. Compared to that the stress of a rocket launch is nothing.
Are you allowed to have only two people running for president in the US and they get replaced only after they win or die ?
I would expect someone else than Hillary showing up for next presidential run on the Democrat side
It will be OK until Amazon decides that book on dinosaur may be offending for a certain category of people (fundamentalist) and then send them down the drain too.
Hidding erotic book is just the first step to send us back to Middle Age
The business schools have been teaching generation of managers that externalization is the key to success and that corporation should only focus on their core business while relying on sub contractor for everything else. Now it turns out that one of the most successful company is having success precisely because they are doing exactly the opposite of that.
Do you think that MBA teachers will change their recommendations or just go business as usual and continue milking gullible pupils to teach them how to sink a corporation?
If anybody at the TSA ever reads about the amount of explosive gases a human digestive system can produce everyday, people will not be allowed in plane anymore
... they job is to find something that will just control the infection and sell it as an expensive cure. Actually curing the HIV with one shot is complete market non sense.
Just hope the biotech management will put an end to such research before they damage the stock level too much
I think we shall consider also the abysmal skills of IT workers all around the world... India is just having more issues than others.
India must have difficulties with initial training and there is not enough skilled engineers on the market to perform additional training later.
Manager are very keen to recognize the existence of individual performance when it is related to their bonus but completely blind when it comes to replace a skilled worker with a cheaper one (to get a bigger bonus).
You can get super discount when you buy single layer toilet paper compared to double layer but you have to use twice more to not end up in covered in sh... (this was our poetic intermission).
This "super hack" was already demonstrated two years ago... Look like someone is looking for fame here.
DVB already finished and is on the way of publishing some specifications to mitigate this risk by signing all signalization tables and make this kind of "drive-by" attack via cheap devices impossible.
Just have to convince TV maker to implement it now...
This guy is closer to communist than socialist.To put the thing in perspective, he is hanging around telling that big tech corporation are evil on Earth and he wants to tax robots.
Back in the 2000's I was closely involved in the CableCard business. Although the thing was (more or less) working the Cable companies did all that was possible to shut it down (overly complicated procedure to get cable card, low quality implementation...). Since then I am now closely involved with European equivalent to CableCard, the DVB-CI+. Many operators are actively supporting this specification and surprisingly the TV subscription cost in Europe are two to three times lower than in Europe.
Instead on pushing TV content to companies who are already making way too much money for their (our ?) own good. Why not revive the CableCard with today technologies. The latest DVB-CI+ specifications is based on USB, wouldn't that be sexy to just have to plug a USB stick in your TV to enable pay channels ?
Like they say in the article, it's pure marketing that the thing could be used on humans. The real goal is to cure mice from any known disease, have them live forever and make them take over the world tonight.
I have been deeply involved with Cable Card (happen to design Cable Card test system and leading a Cable Card project). I am now leading some DVB-CI+ project for making USB based Conditional Access Module (CAM is the generic name for CableCard like devices). The major issue in the US are operators which loooove so much milking their customer that they will NEVER EVER allow a system that will prevent them to do so. So if there is an initiative to make software based CAM make sure this thing will be carefully driven to end up in the wall. This has been done before with DCAS and will be done again.
This is why the average cable bill is around 100$ in US while we pay half of that for premium package in Europe. European commission may be a bunch a picky buggers, they don't hesitate to slam the fingers of the ones who are abusing their dominant position.
I have been hanging around with TV executives for 10 years, always trying to make them understand that all the protection they were trying (lamely) to put in place will only block legitimate customers while increasing product cost. But those guys behave like Gollum in Lord of the Ring: their content is sooooo precioooousss. They are beyond any reasonable argument.

... so worst ever is probably exaggerated here
étron in French is (slightly outdated) slang for "shit"
... now ! 'Cause this is the first thing everyone thought of, right ?

On the other hand nobody will have to fear that their sexual orgies video will be posted on the Internet because they could claim it's a fake
I suspect this post is fake
Interesting times ahead, probably too many scientist on the loose on this planet for its own good

On the hand, after looking at certain part of the Internet, I feel a bitter taster in the mouth also
