He doesn't need a Faraday cage at all. Just some screen on one side of the house would do. If it is only the house behind him then all he needs to do is block those emitters. I wounder if there is money to be made... Foldable Faraday Screens.
Decorator screens that have a conduction layer in them. You plug them into your out let so they are grounded and shield yourself from EM! "Yes just connect the center ground on the plug. Put them around your bed for a restful nights sleep.

Not exactly correct. It is like someone that is allergic to grass and then demanding that you tear out your lawn. Actually it is more like someone saying they are allergic to the color yellow demanding that you paint your living room because some of the yellow leaks out of your windows. Really if his neighbor was legally using WIFI and cell phones then this guy needs to move to the middle of the woods or get real help so he stops imagining that he is sensitive to EM.
True for now. You point about HTML 5 imho shows why it would be better to have the video served by the OS codec system than by the browser. You could just remove the codecs while keeping the rest of the browser functionality. The other benefit of HTML 5 at threat reduction is that it should decrease the monocolture nature of the vector. Of course using the OS codec support could reintroduce the monoculture threat at least at the OS level. So when will we see the "Secure fox" fork? A version of FireFox that locks out all plugins and has a fully sandboxed and audited JavaScript engine? Also no multimedia support as well? Seems like it might actually be a good choice for such systems.
Exactly. One of the first thing you do when securing a system should be to remove any software that the system doesn't need. Every piece of software is a potental security problem. That is one of the things that makes me crazy. People will leave services running just in case they need them. Even dumb things like having both Postgres and MySQL running on a server.
Because odds are you will have both a browser and Flash. So dropping Flash from you system will leave you with just the browser. Nobody that I know of just uses Flash without a browser. So by dropping flash you get rid of an attack vector. Now you only need to worry about your Browser and not your Browser and Flash.
I have no problem with Flash living on in games. I can take or leave most "all" Flash games. Flash games don't work will on mobile devices "if at all" Once you drop Flash for video Flash becomes as necessary as say Java. Very nice to have but a lot of people will never miss it.
Flash will be pushed more and more to the margins if HTML 5 takes off. Frankly there are lot of benefits to dropping Flash once you don't need it for Video. Security is probably the biggest. Getting rid of Flash drops an attack vector you must worry about and keep updated.
What Adobe is saying and I think is very telling. We do not make money off of Flash. We make money from authoring tools. If Flash dies tomorrow we will just make great HTML 5 authoring tools instead. Heck Adobe may make a tool that makes writing games in HTML 5 as easy as it is in Flash.
So IMHO Adobe is saying that "Flash could be dead but we will still make boatloads of money with our authoring tools."
Well I would love to see the Hypervisor cracked. I would love to have access to the GPU in Linux. Sony doesn't because then people could write good games that run under Linux on the PS3 As for the stopping cheaters. Great fine just don't take away a feature to do it. Frankly I doubt that will stop them for long and will only cripple access to those that want to access the Cell. If Sony had allowed access to the GPU through they hypervisor then the only reason to crack it would be to copy games and cheating. So yes I agree that you are defending Sony too much. I liked the PS2 but felt the PS3 was too expensive for what you got at the time. You can like the PS3 hardware all you want. It does look like a nice piece of kit. However again this policy just sucks and is really annoying. If Sony just updated the Hypervisor to stop people from cracking it while allowing people to still run Linux I would not complain. If Sony added access to the GPU I would praise them and go and buy one. I did not even get too bent when Sony came out with a new model that didn't support Linux. That is their right to change a product BEFORE I BUY IT. It is the post purchase crippling that is just evil and frankly I feel dishonest.
Yes I know that it is ram starved but if you want to learn Cell programing, or run a MythTV front end it works fine. The thing is that even if it doesn't work as well as a Linux box for you they are still removing the functionality that users have paid for and some still want. That is the issue. Your advice might be valid for some folks but the dismissive comment over what Sony is doing wasn't. I actually wanted to get one to try out the Cell environment. Now not a chance in heck will I pickup one. "Yes it would have to be used but I wanted one of those anyway to play PS2 games."
That is fine. But what right do you have to tell people that did and do want to run Linux on their PS3 to "just put it on a PC". Just because you don't want to do doesn't make it okay. You not wanting to put Linux on your PS3 is fine. You telling other people to not be upset over Sony retroactively removing it is what is wrong.
"If you want Linux so badly, install it on a PC. " Bull. One of the reasons I thought about buying a PS3 was the fact I could put Linux on it. Now they are telling me I can Linux on it or I can use their online network but not both? So your okay with Sony taking away functionality that you paid for? Really? Well right now I am glad I didn't buy a PS3. This bait and switch if without a doubt evil. Next maybe they will remove the backward compatable mode from the Fat versions because too many people are playing their old PS2 games. Sorry Sony this is so not okay. And I smell a class action law suit.
well for some people they have a lot to overcome. So yes change can be a struggle. Like an abused woman leaving an abusive relationship. However that has nothing to do with this situation.
I doubt that Google falls into the underprivileged child category. They went into China to make money. I am pretty sure that they knew at least a little about China. China told them that they would have to censor things like "freedom" and "democracy". Google said okay. At that point they where clearly doing evil. As I said it is an improvement and I welcome it. So they get approval of this action just not admiration for taking a moral stand. As I said it is like praising someone for no longer beating their kids. A good thing but they shouldn't have done it to start with.
Then you really shouldn't move to that country where you know child beating is mandatory should you? And you have even less of a reason when your home country doesn't have that requirement and your gained great wealth and comfort in your home country.
Agreed that is why I said. "I am glad it stopped but it should have never started."
I my opinion the are now less worthy of contempt for being hypocrites. Really kind of hard to have hold up the motto "don't be evil" while censoring words like "freedom" and "democracy". I would have even been okay with them censoring things like porn to follow the laws of the country. I can understand different cultural requirements but in this case I would say that yes they where doing evil and did so knowingly all for the sake of money. I am glad they stopped but still skeptical of the reasons. So yes Google I am glad you are doing this but at best you cutting back on evil.
Seems kind of thin, It happened after the Nazi's took over IBM German subsidiary. Even the reference that they got technology and help from the Polish offices doesn't sound that damming since Germany had already INVADED Poland at the time. I doubt that IBM had any real control over those offices at the time it happened.
IBM does have a long history of being the meanest nastiest competitor on the planet but I really think trying to blame them for the Holocaust is pretty unfounded.
The oddest historical hookup I remember how well Ford worked with pre WWII USSR they did all sorts of deals with Stalin and company. Which if you think about it should really make your head hurt.
"I admire Google's new policy on China, but dislike their privacy policies in the US." Sorry but admiring Google for no longer censoring is like admiring someone for no longer beating their child. Yes I am glad it stopped but it should have never started. Also Google only did this after they got hacked the the government. I have for a long time stated that Google was doing evil.
Man don't they teach anything in the schools in Europe? 1. NASA has no jurisdiction anywhere including the US. In the US it would be the FAA 2. The ESA would also have no jurisdiction it would have clearly been the EASA. Why you would have put in the ESA I have no idea.
If they had used a rocket NASA would have liked to know what type. Why? NASA does build and use sounding rockets. They may have just wanted to see if they had any good ideas. Or they may have just want to share how it was done with Schools and Universities as part of their education program.
So Viking ran for 6 years and viking 2 for only 4. I would say Voyager was nothing short of mind blowing. They showed us four worlds and I forget how many moons! It was the grand tour of the solar system. Sprit and Opportunity may be the current stars but I can tell you that when Voyager flew by Jupiter they rolled a TV into my classroom and we all watched. Same a few years latter for Saturn.. So I will put voyager 1 and 2 as the winners.
You are so confused. Democracy isn't freedom? It is the tyranny of the masses but works pretty well for national governments. In a Democracy everybody gets a vote to tell you what to do. FOSS is about freedom in theory. The developers do it because they want to or sometimes because the want to get paid to. They have the freedom to do what they want how they want to. If they want to listen to your suggestion they can if they don't they can. They are totally free. And you are totally free to not like it and to take the code and do what you want with it. But the user base has no right to treat the developers as an unpaid code slave to their will. It isn't a government, it isn't a democracy. It is free. And that is that. If you don't like it then start a distro where every end user gets to vote on the design. I vote for pink ponies.
