Yep, couldn't have said it better myself. In Kansas, there's not a whole lot of urban areas to be found, so most of my driving is on nasty two lane highways. When a semi is going 5 under, you speed up to 10 over and blow by them. This keeps the semi from sliding into you and it also keeps anything in the oncoming lane from hitting you too. Win-win.
In other words, there has to be a bug on the client that lets the web page run arbitrary code
Yep, that's called a browser. Arbitrary code is exactly what a webpage or video is. This is the exact reason driveby malware via ad networks still happens. If you have ISP level access and can inject malicious code in unencrypted pages, you win. The solution to this, from a web hosts view, is to encrypt everything.
They can question all they want, but if they want to disprove it, they'll have to provide some evidence to counteract the evidence that's already there.
No, you used the term "slippery slope" correctly. The very premise of your slope is flawed. As a society, we've had mind altering drugs that directly stimulate our reward centers for as long as we've been a society. Nearly everyone takes some kind, but we still have an incredibly small percentage of people looking to use the harder stuff (antidepressants, ADHD drugs, street drugs). Given this history, it seems highly unlikely that we're heading toward a future of "mechanized work/play" any time soon.
You know typical ADHD drugs would actually make neurotypical children worse, right? ADHD drugs tend to be stimulants, care to guess what that would do to normal children? Give a five year old some coffee and find out. It's a far cry from "drug them into zimbified submission."
ADHD meds are no more a slippery slope than Antidepressants before them. And they were no more a slippery slope than the Tobacco/Pot/Alcohol/Coffee before them. Arguments like yours are why Slippery Slope is considered a logical fallacy.
Nice try. Not quite right though. It's more like: 1. We observer some people having concentration issues across the board. 2. We hypothesize disorder X with prediction Y 3. We run brain scans and find out prediction Y is right 4. We hypothesize that stimulants may work differently on these people 5. We run tests and find out that stimulants work differently on these people 6. We conclude disorder X exists and stimulants can treat it
Probably, you won't even see NAT go away as ISPs are still going to want to charge for each IP they give. I have a feeling, at least on the residential side, that things will stay exactly as they are, just with an IPv6 address instead of IPv4.
It's not toxic. It's stupid. In a generation, if it's still around, it'll sound less stupid. If it's still around after that, it'll just be a normal part of the language.
Most important things, like water heaters (and cars), need to be robust enough to function without internet, else they'd have lawsuits on their hands. You could, I don't know, not connect it to the internet.
Anything is economical if people are willing to buy it for more than it costs to make. There are already internet connected fridges and dog collars and cars, what they make internet connected next is only a matter of what people are willing to buy? Internet connected toilet paper? I bet you can get some health nuts on the bandwagon. Idiotic seeming gadgets will be internet connected, and there's nothing you can do about it. The biggest question is, are we going to pay attention to security now, or wait until it's too late?
Also, he said "internet of things" because that's the idiotic term the industry/media has chosen for this particular fad. He could use something different, but everyone already knows what it means, so, why bother? That's how language works. Deal with it.
Once you have IPV6, with no (supposed) need for firewalls.
Why does somebody always have to trot this out? IPV6 does not mean no need for firewalls. It means no need for NAT. These are not the same thing. Please, please stop spewing this crap.
It's so you can run your AMD SSD with your AMD RAM brought together by your AMD CPU and your AMD graphics card inside your AMD case. Now all they need is an AMD motherboard and an AMD power supply and you'll be able to build a computer with nothing but AMD.
Not exactly. If they say the game is 1080p, you'd be right to say that 960x1080 presented at 1920x1080 is still accurate. However, if they say the game is at native 1080p, the only definition that fits the bill is 1920x1080 presented at 1920x1080. Sony said the latter.
The simplest one is PPTP. Windows (at least the professional version) has a server for this. Set it up in the Windows network center and open the port on your router. Just about every OS out there (including Android and iOS) has a VPN client capable of PPTP. Point that to your external IP, put in the username and password, and you're off to the races. After that, all that information is saved and all you have to do is hit "connect". There are various other protocols with extra levels of security and difficulty, but PPTP will get you a basic VPN pretty quickly that will still be more secure than exposing a private NAS to the internet.
Wait... I must not have read well enough. Surface temperature? As in, the temperature of the heat sink itself? No mention of CPU temperature? That thing must be boiling under "normal use".

That... is a situation I've never run into. I hope to never run into that situation but it is an interesting question.
Yep, couldn't have said it better myself. In Kansas, there's not a whole lot of urban areas to be found, so most of my driving is on nasty two lane highways. When a semi is going 5 under, you speed up to 10 over and blow by them. This keeps the semi from sliding into you and it also keeps anything in the oncoming lane from hitting you too. Win-win.
When it comes to breaking the speed limit or being run over by a semi, I'll break the speed limit every time.
Read it again. There was no hate for COBOL there, just a recognition of the hate others express.
No matter what happens, there are going to be some who don't like it. That's life.

So, back to scientific method 101 for you.
Hardly an invented condition when people with ADHD respond to stimulants differently from others.
Good work, but you forgot to add a sentence railing against the feminists. Not quite a perfect troll.

Congratulations, you just describe the typical news organization.

That would be the CFAA and the Fourth Amendment (but who gives a shit about the Fourth anyway?)

Yep, I have to "fuck with VPNs" whenever I need to access my stuff. Hitting that "connect" button is really hard, you know.
Wait... I must not have read well enough. Surface temperature? As in, the temperature of the heat sink itself? No mention of CPU temperature? That thing must be boiling under "normal use".
